Mobile services access management methods and systems

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a mobile services access management system, configuration parameters defining a mobile services access schedule associated with a mobile access device, the mobile services access schedule specifying one or more restricted access time periods during which access by the mobile access device to one or more mobile services requires entry of a predetermined access code and one or more normal access time periods during which access by the mobile access device to the one or more mobile services does not require entry of the predetermined access code, the configuration parameters provided by a primary account holder of a mobile services account associated with the mobile access device,
• automatically defining, by the mobile services access management system, at least one of the one or more restricted access time periods in the mobile services access schedule defined by the configuration parameters to coincide with one or more events specified by a calendar maintained by a calendaring system linked to the mobile services access management system;
• receiving, by the mobile services access management system during one of the one or more restricted access time periods, a request to access at least one mobile service within the one or more mobile services;
• receiving, by the mobile services access management system, an entry of the predetermined access code in conjunction with the request;
• granting, by the mobile services access management system in response to the receiving the entry of the predetermined access code, the mobile access device access to the at least one mobile service, the access to the at least one mobile service limited to a single use of the at least one mobile service;
• and
• providing, by the mobile services access management system, a notification of the access to the primary account holder.

A system comprising:

• at least one computing device implementing:
• a scheduling facility configured to maintain a mobile services access schedule associated with a mobile access device, the mobile services access schedule specifying one or more restricted access time periods during which access by the mobile access device to one or more mobile services requires entry of a predetermined access code and one or more normal access time periods during which access by the mobile access device to the one or more mobile services does not require entry of the predetermined access code,
• wherein the scheduling facility automatically defines at least one of the one or more restricted access time periods to coincide with one or more events specified by a calendar maintained by a calendaring system linked to the mobile services access management system;
• an access management facility communicatively coupled to the scheduling facility and configured to
• receive, during one of the one or more restricted access time periods, a request to access at least one mobile service within the one or more mobile services,
• receive an entry of the predetermined access code in conjunction with the request, and
• grant, in response to receiving the entry of the predetermined access code, the mobile access device access to the at least one mobile service;
• and
• a notification facility communicatively coupled to the access management facility and configured to provide a notification of the access to the at least one mobile service to a predetermined recipient.
