Abstract: A system enables digital appliances to couple to third party application services directly. The system includes a device regulation/support site configured to generate a script program and a data template, and a digital appliance that selectively couples to the device regulation/support site and receives the script program and data template from the device regulation/support site, the digital appliance executes the script program with reference to the data template to couple directly to a third party application service and query the third party application service for data.

Abstract: A computer network communication device enables a parent/administrator to control data communication sessions between the device and a mobile communication device that may be accessed through a cellular network. The computer network communication device includes a device identifier stored in the device, a communication module configured to download rules corresponding to the device identifier from a control site remote from the device, and a processor configured to process data messages received from other computer network communication devices over a computer network with reference to the downloaded rules.
