Benefits of technology
Enables network operators to verify media content delivery and associated revenues, reducing fraud and improving service quality by providing real-time and historical transaction data for auditing and revenue assurance.
Problems solved by technology
One problem with the current media content delivery in wireless communications networks involves the fact that while network operator Y may be entitled to a 30% commission by a previously negotiated service agreement, there is no mechanism available to operator Y to independently monitor and verify content download transactions that involve the operator's network.
Another problem associated with delivery of media content in wireless communications networks involves an operator's inability to verify the success or failure of an attempted media content download transaction.
Currently, network operator Y has no way to verify whether or not the purchased ringtone content was successfully delivered to mobile subscriber 114.
This inability leaves a network operator vulnerable to fraud and may result in a less than ideal quality of service within the network.

Embodiment Construction
[0020]FIG. 2 is a network diagram illustrating a network environment 119 that includes a short message service center (SMSC) 128, a mobile subscriber 114, and a probe-based embodiment of revenue assurance and content delivery audit (RACDA) system. For purposes of illustration, network environment 119 is considered to include components that operate in accordance with the global system for mobile communications (GSM) standard. Accordingly, mobile subscriber 114 and SMSC 128 are assumed to utilize equipment that operates in a GSM network environment. It is understood that the subject matter described herein is not limited to use in GSM network environments. Embodiments of the subject matter described herein may be operable in other communications network environments including IS-41, general packet radio service (GPRS), IP multimedia subsystem (IMS), session initiation protocol (SIP), radio access network (RAN), and wireless-fidelity (WiFi) (such as 802.11x) environments.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for providing media content delivery audit and verification services are disclosed. In one example, a monitoring system analyzes messages associated with communications in a wireless communications network. The monitoring system identifies, from the messages, messages that are associated with the request for or delivery of media content to a wireless communications device via the network. Copies of the messages relating to media content delivery are generated, correlated, and analyzed in order to provide a network operator with information that may be used to verify media content delivery transactions and associated revenues.
Description
RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 413,064, filed Apr. 27, 2006, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 729,997, filed Oct. 25, 2005, the disclosure of each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The subject matter described herein relates to monitoring transactions associated with delivery of media content. More particularly, the subject matter described herein relates to methods, systems, and computer program products for providing media content delivery audit and verification services.BACKGROUND ART[0003]Over the past decade, the use of wireless communications devices, such as mobile telephones and personal digital assistants, has increased dramatically. This increased use has also led to an increase in the capabilities of these communications devices. In particular, wireless subscribers are increasingly using their wireless communications...
