  • Publication number: 20170228745
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for a perception and feeling tool having multiple modules configured to allow participants to express perceptions and feelings at one or more moments during, for example, a study. The perception and feeling tool can be configured to record the participants' perceptions and feelings at the one or more moments during the study as collected data, as well as display results for any one or more of the participants or an aggregate of all the participants for the perceptions and the feelings at the one or more moments. A collection module can be configured to collect raw data including the participants' perceptions and feelings. One or more analytical modules can be configured to apply analytics to the raw data. One or more servers can be configured to deliver user interfaces to the participants and allow the participants to express the study.

  • Patent number: 9628633
    Abstract: A method at a user equipment to verify enablement of data billing splitting using a virtual subscriber identity module platform (‘VSP’) service, the method including receiving a credential at the user equipment, the credential including an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) from a physical universal integrated circuit card (UICC) subscriber identity module (SIM) application; storing the credential on the user equipment; checking, at a VSP service module on the user equipment, whether the credential matches an IMSI of a UICC currently inserted into the user equipment; if the checking determines a match, enabling the data billing splitting; and if the checking determines a mismatch, preventing enablement of the data billing splitting.
