Abstract: A computer implemented method and system for generating a data collection process for a user device. The method comprises: selecting a service provider from a portal server, at the third-party server, receiving an instruction to begin a data collection process for a user; receiving static data from the user device; determining a set of data to be collected from the user; generating code for a first data collection module based on the set of data to be collected from the user; providing the code for generating the first data collection module to the user device; receiving confirmation that a user of the user device has provided the information required by the first data collection module to the service provider server, and determining if the user has provided the set of data to be collected.

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer implemented method and system for generating a data collection process for a user device. The method comprises: receiving, at a third-party server, an instruction to begin a data collection process for a user operating a user device; receiving, at the third-party server, static data from the user device; determining, at the third-party server, a set of data to be collected from the user; generating, at the third-party server, code for a first data collection module based on the set of data to be collected from the user; providing, from the third-party server, the code for generating the first data collection module to the user device; receiving, at the third-party server, confirmation that a user of the user device has provided the information required by the first data collection module to the service-provider server; and determining if the user has provided the set of data to be collected.

Abstract: A node enables sharing data connectivity between a consumer device and a broker device, and receives from a first packet routing node a request for a consumer authorization certificate. The request includes a subscriber identity. Based on the subscriber identity authorizing the subscriber for sharing data connectivity; a consumer authorization certificate is generated using a private encryption key associated with the node. The consumer authorization certificate includes the subscriber identity of the subscriber. The consumer authorization certificate is returned to the first packet routing node. A request for a data connectivity service for the subscriber is received from a second packet routing node. The request includes a consumer agreement certificate and a broker identity. The consumer agreement certificate is signed using a private key associated with the subscriber and includes the subscriber identity. The consumer agreement certificate is valued.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling charging of a service in a communication network comprising in an Online Charging System OCS receiving a request message for charging of the service from a charging client where the request message is including at least data identifying a first communication network account to charge for the service. A system utilization indicator is accessed representing a computer resource utilization value of a node involved in providing the service. Based on at least the system utilization indicator a determined service usage quota is determined, including a determined service usage quota attribute, to be reserved for from the account. The service usage quota is reserved for from the account and an answer message is transmitted to the charging client including the determined service usage quota attribute of the service usage quota reserved for from the account to be applied in controlling the service.

Abstract: Presented is a system and methods for allowing a user, through their end user device, to online purchase a service from a service provider and provide online payment for the service from the operator network associated with the end user device. The service provider and the operator network can authenticate each other through encrypted data appended to HTTP communications associated with interacting on the internet.
