Wireless Content Pricing via Subscriber Group Segmentation

The patent segments the application usage into multiple distinct components: initial purchase, unlimited uses, time-based subscriptions, and data-based billing. Each component can be independently selected and configured, allowing the system to move beyond simple one-time purchases while maintaining clear billing structures. This segmentation enables carriers to offer customized packages that combine different usage types.

The patent implements dynamic pricing and packaging options that can adapt to different usage scenarios. The system allows unlimited uses after initial purchase, time-based access periods, and data-based billing thresholds, creating a flexible framework where pricing parameters can be dynamically adjusted based on carrier preferences, usage patterns, and subscription types without requiring system redesign.

The patent creates a universal billing framework that can handle multiple pricing models and packaging options through a single system architecture. The same infrastructure supports one-time purchases, unlimited uses, time-based subscriptions, and data-based billing, eliminating the need for separate systems for each pricing type and reducing overall complexity while increasing adaptability.

The patent enables flexible configuration of pricing parameters such as initial purchase cost, unlimited use thresholds, subscription time periods, and data usage limits. By allowing these parameters to be dynamically adjusted and combined in various configurations, the system provides developers and content providers with diverse packaging options without requiring complex custom implementations for each scenario.
