System And Method For Incentivizing Wireless Device Users To Interact With Sponsor Offers And Advertising

A computer system comprising:

• an open network interface configured to receive and transmit messages in an open network communication protocol;
• a database having a memory in which wireless device account data, sponsor account data, and wireless service provider data are stored;
• and
• a computer having a processor and memory in which programmed instructions are stored, the processor operating the computer when the processor executes the programmed instructions to:
• verify messages received through the open network interface are from one of a wireless device account holder, an sponsor, and a wireless service provider having data stored in the database,
• generate and send messages to wireless devices associated with wireless device account data stored in the database in response to receipt of a message regarding a first incentive offer from an sponsor having sponsor account data stored in the database,
• generate and store credit data in wireless device account data in the database associated with wireless devices that responded to a message regarding the first incentive offer in response to messages indicating acceptance of the first incentive offer being received from wireless devices through the open network interface,
• generate and send a debit message to a payment service associated with the sponsor having sponsor account data stored in the database that sent the first incentive offer, a debit amount identified in the debit message corresponding to a total debit identified by the credit data corresponding to the sponsor stored by the computer in the wireless device account data in the database, and
• generate and send payment messages to a wireless service provider having wireless service provider data stored in the database, the payment messages being generated with reference to the credit data stored in the database for wireless devices that sent messages indicating acceptance of the incentive offer and the payment messages identifying wireless device accounts with the wireless service provider that correspond to wireless devices that sent messages indicating acceptance of the first incentive offer.
