Abstract
A portable subscriber access unit includes a wireless transceiver and a processor. The processor controls the transceiver, determines a mobility state of the access unit, and determines a data packet content type. The transceiver transmits the mobility state, receives service rights based on the mobility state, and transmits the data packet on a condition that the content type is allowed by the service rights.
Claims22
A method of mobility based content delivery, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device coupled to a portable wireless transceiver having a communication link with a cellular wireless network, a mobility state of the portable wireless transceiver and a current level of available service, wherein the mobility state reflects actual motion of the portable wireless transceiver;
- displaying an indication of the mobility state of the portable wireless transceiver and an indication of the current level of available service to a user of the computing device;
- displaying a representation of allowable deliverable content types to a user of the computing device;
- and
- receiving content from the portable wireless transceiver that is an allowable deliverable content type, processing and providing the received content to the user of the computing device.
A system for mobility based content delivery, the system comprising:
- a portable wireless transceiver having a communication link with a cellular wireless network;
- and
- a computing device coupled to the portable wireless transceiver, wherein the computing device is configured to receive a mobility state of the portable wireless transceiver and a current level of available service, wherein the mobility state reflects actual motion of the portable wireless transceiver;
- wherein the computing device further comprises a display configured to display an indication of the mobility state of the portable wireless transceiver and an indication of the current level of available service to a user of the computing device;
- wherein the display of the computing device is further configured to display a representation of allowable deliverable content types to a user of the computing device;
- wherein the computing device is further configured to receive content from the portable wireless transceiver, wherein the received content is an allowable deliverable content type;
- wherein the computing device is further configured to provide the received content to the user of the computing device.
A computing device for mobility based content delivery, the computing device comprising:
- an interface configured to couple the computing device to a portable wireless transceiver having a communication link with a cellular wireless network, wherein the computing device is configured to receive a mobility state of the portable wireless transceiver and a current level of available service, wherein the mobility state reflects actual motion of the portable wireless transceiver;
- and
- a display configured to display an indication of the mobility state of the portable wireless transceiver and an indication of the current level of available service to a user of the computing device;
- wherein the display of the computing device is further configured to display a representation of allowable deliverable content types to a user of the computing device;
- wherein the computing device is further configured to receive content from the portable wireless transceiver, wherein the received content is an allowable deliverable content type;
- wherein the computing device is further configured to provide the received content to the user of the computing device.
