Abstract
A system for determining a communication charge comprising a charging equation determiner, an inflection point determiner, and a charge determiner. The charging equation determiner for determining a charging equation based at least in part on a normalized set of inputs. The inflection point determiner for determining an inflection point based at least in part on a charging structure database. The charge determiner for determining a communication charge based at least in part on the charging equation and the inflection point.
Claims15
A system for determining connection authorization, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive a request for a connection;
- receive a set of inputs;
- determine whether to authorize the connection based at least in part on the set of inputs;
- in the event that the connection is authorized:
- receive a dynamically updated set of inputs;
- and
- determine whether 1) an inflection point is reached based at least in part on the dynamically updated set of inputs or 2) a disconnect request is received;
- and
- in the event that the inflection point is reached, determine whether the connection is to be reauthorized;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
A method for determining connection authorization, comprising:
- receiving a request for a connection;
- receiving a set of inputs;
- determining, using a processor, whether to authorize the connection based at least in part on the set of inputs;
- in the event that the connection is authorized:
- receiving a dynamically updated set of inputs;
- and
- determining whether 1) an inflection point is reached based at least in part on the dynamically updated set of inputs or 2) a disconnect request is received;
- and
- in the event that the inflection point is reached, determining whether the connection is to be reauthorized.
A computer program product for determining connection authorization, the computer program product being embodied in a tangible non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
- receiving a request for a connection;
- receiving a set of inputs;
- determining, using a processor, whether to authorize the connection based at least in part on the set of inputs;
- in the event that the connection is authorized:
- receiving a dynamically updated set of inputs;
- and
- determining whether 1) an inflection point is reached based at least in part on the dynamically updated set of inputs or 2) a disconnect request is received;
- and
- in the event that the inflection point is reached, determining whether the connection is to be reauthorized.
