Abstract: A data storage system allows a subscriber to store data at the time the subscriber experiences the date with an indication, such as a press of a button or a voice command. The indication causes a request to obtain and store the data to be issued. For example, the subscriber can store music while listening to it, store or request movies while viewing them, or store movie soundtracks while viewing movies. The entire music file can be stored, for example, in a vehicle in which the subscriber is traveling. For some environments, such as storage in a cellular telephone, a portion of the music is stored in a format compatible for that environment, such as cellular telephone ring tone format. When the indication is received, a determination is made as to which music is required, generally by determining the time of the indication. The music heard by the listener is then downloaded for storage in accordance with the subscriber's request.

Abstract: A consistency verification tool performs a consistency check on subscriber data records stored in the cellular telephone system. One such consistency check analyzes subscriber data records in a home location register (HLR) and a billing system to determine the presence of duplicate records. Duplicate records can be stored in a duplicate record file for later analysis. During the duplicate record consistency analysis, the consistency verification tool creates a record list. The record list can be a linked list structure for storing main records and duplicate records in a manner that facilitates identifying families of duplicate records. The consistency verification tool can also perform inter-device consistency checks. For example, the subscriber data stored on the HLR can be compared to the subscriber data stored in the billing system to ensure that the two systems have consistent subscriber data.
