Service delivery system using intermediary application management subsystem for managing setup provisioning delivery and updating of services

A system comprising:

• a carrier interface module configured to interface with a subscriber carrier subsystem that provides one or more base services for access by an end-user access device via a network;
• an access device interface module configured to interface with the end-user access device;
• a developer interface module configured to interface with an application server configured to deliver an additional service to the end-user access device;
• an application management module communicatively coupled to the carrier interface module, the access device interface module, and the developer interface module and configured to set up the additional service for selection by the end-user access device;
• and
• a provisioning module communicatively coupled to the carrier interface module, the access device interface module, and the developer interface module and configured to provision, in response to a request initiated by the end-user access device to subscribe to the additional service, the additional service for delivery from the application server to the end-user access device by
• initiating a transmission of data representative of a software application to the end-user access device for installation and execution by the end-user access device to access the additional service from the application server, and
• initiating a transmission of a notification message to the application server to notify the application server of an initiation of a subscription to the additional service by the end-user access device.

A system comprising:

• a subscriber carrier subsystem that provides one or more base subscription services for access by an end-user access device via a network;
• and
• an intermediary application management subsystem that interfaces with the service carrier subsystem, the end-user access device, and an application server configured to deliver an additional service to the end-user access device, wherein the intermediary application management subsystem
• receives a software application from a developer associated with the application server, the software application configured to be executed by the end-user access device to access the additional service configured to be delivered by the application server,
• sets up the service for selection by the end-user access device,
• receives a request to subscribe to the additional service configured to be delivered by the application server, the request initiated by the end-user access device, and
• provisions, in response to the request, the additional service for delivery from the application server to the end-user access device by
• transmitting data representative of the software application to the end-user access device for installation and execution by the end-user access device, and
• transmitting a notification message to the application server to notify the application server of an initiation of a subscription to the additional service by the end-user access device.
