  • Patent number: 11805405
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining first data, determining, based on the obtaining, a likelihood that the first data will be selected for use, and storing, based on the determining indicating that the likelihood is less than a first threshold, the first data in a storage device, wherein the storage device stores a plurality of data, and wherein the plurality of data is accessed from the storage device in an amount that is less than a second threshold, the second threshold being less than 5%. Other embodiments are disclosed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9572013
    Abstract: Devices and methods are disclosed which relate to gathering a plurality of data from a SIM card on a wireless communications device and recording the plurality of data onto a database where the plurality of data can be viewed at a later time. A network device requests a plurality of data from a SIM card on a wireless communications device. An OTA platform receives the request and gathers the plurality of data from the SIM card. The OTA platform, which normally sends the plurality of data back to the network device, sends the plurality of data to a file upload server instead. The file upload server records the plurality of data to a database where the plurality of data can be viewed by the network device. In certain examples, the file upload server sends a notification to the network device that the plurality of data is ready for viewing.

  • Patent number: 9124719
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for a subscriber of services on a network to display a custom operator name or alpha tag on the subscriber mobile communications device. The custom alpha tag (or operator name) is selected or defined by the subscriber via an interface on a communications device, and a custom operator name request is submitted to a provisioning logic on the network. The provisioning logic communicates with business rule logic on the network, the business rule logic being configured to retrieve and/or update a first account associated with the subscriber with the custom operator name. A billing logic within a billing subsystem may be invoked to debit a second account associated with the subscriber. A programming logic on the network then updates one or more mobile devices with the custom alpha tag. The several logic units may be part of an Over-the-air (OTA) platform on the network.
