Abstract: According to various embodiments, a social mobile data sharing platform (SMDSP) is disclosed. The SMDSP includes a data sharing onboarding portal (DSOP) configured to onboard one or more social entities for offering mobile connectivity to one or more sponsees. The SMDSP further includes a shared data pool service configured to aggregate mobile data from one or more contributing sponsors. The SMDSP additionally includes an artificial intelligence (AI) server configured to evaluate a volume of mobile data to be granted to the sponsees from the shared data pool service to be offered by the one or more social entities. The evaluation is based on at least one of country of the sponsee, socio-economic background of the sponsee, and serving network operator of the sponsee.

Abstract: According to various embodiments, an open phone device providing free access to subscribers upon purchase of the device is disclosed. The device may be a mobile device. The device may further include device layer capabilities allowing subscribers to purchase the device at a subsidized cost without any recurring monthly expenses. The device may further include a single integrated service offered to customers to purchase the device and use free data services. The device may be pre-loaded with free data apps.

Abstract: According to various embodiments, disclosed herein is a system for delivering content to a plurality of subscriber mobile devices. The system includes Mobile Acceleration Client (MAC) that provides common services to third party mobile apps enabling app and mobile web acceleration. This background service interacts with a server side gateway, referred to herein as a Mobile Acceleration Gateway (MAG), which performs acceleration of connections and gathers intelligence about downloaded content through crowd sourcing. Intelligence in the MAG is used to identify the most popular content in apps and websites, as well as provide a cache for such content for improving server side efficiency in delivering such content.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for granting available network capacity to mobile devices. The system locates a mobile device's cell based on its location and classifies the cell, and its associated carriers and sectors, based on different properties like busy level, bandwidth, and RF data in real time at different times of the day. Varying types of network cells with under-utilized capacity are identified using a cloud-based system to provide an online trigger to nearby mobile users to utilize the network capacity for any kind of data usage. Models are used to infer device RF conditions and details of network cellular parameters under consideration to dynamically improve the service in a heterogeneous crowd-sourced environment.

Abstract: A sponsored data system configured to operate with a wireless mobile device running an app that receives sponsored data from a content provider server is provided. The system includes an interface application configured to run on the wireless mobile device. The interface application is configured to determine availability of sponsored data. A cloud platform is configured to interface with the content provider server. The cloud platform is configured to generate a token with data usable to determine availability of sponsored data and transmit the token to the interface application. A portal is configured to create and store a package that identifies at least a portion of the data associated with the app as sponsored data.
