A method, comprising:
- monitoring a mobile user equipment with respect to a rule;
- and
- applying at least one consequence to the mobile user equipment when the rule is at least one of followed or violated,
- wherein the at least one consequence comprises at least one of a reward or a punishment, and wherein the at least one consequence pertains to use of the mobile user equipment.
A system comprising:
- at least one memory including computer program code, and
- at least one processor,
- wherein the at least one memory and computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the system at least to
- monitor mobile user equipment with respect to a rule;
- and
- apply at least one consequence to the mobile user equipment when the rule is at least one of followed or violated,
- wherein the at least one consequence comprises at least one of a reward or a punishment, and wherein the at least one consequence pertains to use of the mobile user equipment.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instructions that, when executed in hardware, perform a process, the process comprising:
- monitoring a mobile user equipment with respect to a rule;
- and
- applying at least one consequence to the mobile user equipment when the rule is at least one of followed or violated,
- wherein the at least one consequence comprises at least one of a reward or a punishment, and wherein the at least one consequence pertains to use of the mobile user equipment.
