Claims33
A system for delivering messages to and receiving confirmation of the received message from a mobile device, the system comprising:
- communication equipment coupled to and sending data to and receiving data from the mobile device;
- a monitoring module having thresholds set therein, said monitoring module monitoring voice and data usage of the mobile device, wherein when a threshold is reached for the monitored usage, said monitoring module generates a notification that is presented on the mobile device;
- a server coupled to the communication equipment and having a storage coupled thereto;
- wherein the notification requires an acknowledgement thereto such that the functionality of the mobile device associated with the threshold that has been reached is blocked until the acknowledgement is sent, and the acknowledgement is always saved on said storage to generate an audit trail of the acknowledgement.
A method for delivering messages to and receiving confirmation of the received message from a mobile device comprising the steps of:
- defining a plurality of successive thresholds relating voice usage on the mobile device;
- defining a plurality of successive thresholds relating to data usage on the mobile device;
- monitoring both the voice and data usage to determine if any of either the voice usage thresholds or any of the data usage thresholds are reached;
- and
- wherein, if any of the thresholds is reached, automatically generating a respective notification relating to the respective threshold reached;
- presenting the respective notification on the mobile device such that the respective notification may be viewed by a user;
- restricting usage of the mobile device at least until the respective notification is acknowledged;
- and
- saving every acknowledgement to each respective notification in a storage to generate an audit trail of the acknowledgements.
