An analyzer resource receives density information indicating mobile device usage in each of multiple geographical regions. The analyzer resource further receives resource information indicating locations of physical network resources available to support installation of wireless access points in the geographical regions and the location of any existing wireless access points already installed. The analyzer resource then uses at least the density information and the resource information to produce a respective metric for each of the multiple geographical regions. The respective metric for a corresponding geographical region indicates a desirability of installing a respective wireless access point in the corresponding geographical region. Further disclosed embodiments herein include generating a respective map indicating in which respective geographical regions it is desirable to install a respective wireless access point.

A deal manager executing on computer hardware receives a discount offer proposal from a first consumer. The deal manager forwards the discount offer proposal to one or more retail suppliers. The discount offer can include proposed terms such as a conditional modification to an original retail price of a respective retail item offered for sale by the supplier. In response to receiving, from the supplier, acceptance of terms as specified by the discount offer proposal, the deal manager or other suitable resource initiates distribution of terms associated with the approved discount offer to the first consumer and/or a second consumer. The second consumer can be one of multiple consumers to which the approved discount offer is distributed. Accordingly, consumers can propose deals that are, in turn, used by other consumers.

A system and method for managing battery usage of a mobile device. The power level of the battery is obtains and compared to a threshold level. When the power level is equal to or less than the threshold level, user applications that are operating on the mobile device are identified. Operating user applications that are members of a set of user applications are identified. The execution of the selected user application is suspended or terminated.

System and method for managing battery usage of a mobile device

A system and method for managing performance of a mobile device. A current runtime list and a measure of performance are determined. A request to execute a new application not on the current runtime list is received. A determination is made whether executing the new application will cause the performance measure to be equal to or less than a threshold level. When executing the new application will not cause the performance measure to be equal to or less than a threshold level, the request to execute the new application is granted. When executing the new application will cause the performance measure to be equal to or less than a threshold level, the request to execute the new application is declined.

A system and method for anonymously capturing network usage data from a mobile device. A first host device includes a first processor coupled to a first memory and a first datastore. A second host device includes a second processor coupled to a second memory and second and third datastores. The first host device receives personal identifying information and demographic information of a user and stores them in association with a unique identifier. The second datastore stores the demographic information of the user received from the first datastore and a mobile device identifier of the mobile device in association with the unique identifier. The device identifier is double hashed to create an obfuscated double hash identifier (ODHID). The third datastore receives mobile device and device identifier data and stores the data and the demographic information in a folder associated with the ODHID.

Systems and methods for maintaining a measure of session time of a networked device. A session between the networked device and a first network is monitored to determine a first session time. The first session time is indicative of a first time increment the networked device is continuously connected to the first network. A next session between the networked device and a second network is monitored to determine a second session time. The second session time is indicative of a second time increment the networked device is continuously connected to the second network. A time interval between termination of the session and commencement of the next session is determined. A rule is applied to determine whether the time interval is less than or equal to a pre-determined value. A session time equal to the sum of the first session time and the second session time is displayed when the time interval is less than or equal to the pre-determined value. A session time equal to the second session time is displayed when the time interval is greater than the pre-determined value.

Systems and methods for sharing a payload among mobile devices in a wireless network. A first mobile device is configured to communicate with an access device via a first wireless path and with a media gateway server via a second wireless path. One or more other mobile devices are configured to communicate with the media gateway server via the second wireless path and with the first mobile device via a third wireless path. A payload is received at the first mobile device from the access device via the first wireless path and is partitioned into portions. One portion is assigned to the first mobile device, and the remaining portions are assigned to each of the one or more other mobile devices. The assigned payload portions are sent to the media gateway server via the second wireless path. The assigned payload portions are received at the media gateway server, and the payload is reconstructed from the received payload portions. The payload is sent to a destination address via a network. Payloads may also be received at the media gateway server, portioned, distributed to the first mobile device, reconstructed and delivered to the access device in a similar manner.
