  • Method and system for mediating interactive services over a wireless communications network
    Patent number: 6874029
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and system for controlling the state of an interactive application and controlling delivery of the interactive application to one or more users. The system of the present invention is a system for delivering an interactive application to one or more users of a communications network and may comprise an interactive application adapted to the communications network; a user access device adapted to receive said interactive application; control means for establishing parameters under which said interactive application is rendered on said user access device; and mediation means for establishing terms for the interaction between the at least one user and other users and the communications network.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 29, 2005
    Assignee: Leap Wireless International, Inc.
    Inventors: Doug Hutcheson, Richard Robinson, Steven Caliguri
  • Method for providing wireless communication services and network and system for delivering same
    Patent number: 6813497
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an improved network and system for a wireless communication system. The improved business method, operations method, network and system of the present invention includes the steps of delivering cellular services to the mass market, reducing peak capacity, increasing overall capacity utilization, improving capital utilization, providing an “all-you-can-eat” pricing model, and designing capacity based upon where the users live, work, and play.

  • Method and system for providing communications services
    Publication number: 20020068592
    Abstract: A method for providing interactive communications services to a plurality of users using a corresponding plurality of communications devices via a wireless network which may degrade performance of the communications services including initiating the communications services. State information is requested from at least two of the communications devices indicative of whether the wireless network is degrading the initiated communications services after a predetermined temporal period. Data indicative of the requested state information is received and tested for differences. Smoothing the communications services occurs using at least one of the communications devices if differences detected exceed a given threshold.
