Abstract

A system and method for presentation of advertising content at a communication device are disclosed herein. A notification is provided corresponding to an advertisement event for presentation of at least one advertisement at the communication device. An indication is received associated with presentation of the advertisement at a scheduled time. And checking whether the indication is a permitted action on the advertisement event, wherein a network service is continued to be enabled for the communication device based on the indication being the permitted action.

Claims (32)

1 . A method for presentation of advertising content at a communication device, the method comprising:

providing a notification corresponding to an advertisement event for presentation of at least one advertisement at the communication device;

receiving, at the communication device, an indication associated with presentation of the advertisement at a scheduled time; and

checking whether the indication is a permitted action on the advertisement event, wherein a network service is continued to be enabled for the communication device based on the indication being the permitted action.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the checking of the indication comprises:

checking a credit balance corresponding to a user to a threshold value when the indication comprises a request to reschedule the advertisement event at a later time than the schedule time or to cancel the advertisement event; and

in response to the credit balance being less than the threshold value, providing a low credit warning indication.

3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising receiving a confirmation from the user to reschedule the advertisement event at the later time or to cancel the advertisement event after the providing of the low credit warning indication, wherein access to the network service for the communication device is halted in response to the confirmation.

4 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising receiving a second indication from the user to reschedule or cancel the advertisement event after the providing of the low credit warning indication, the indication and the second indication being different from each other.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification comprises a reminder of the advertisement event that is provided when a current time equals a reminder time, the reminder time being prior to the scheduled time.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification comprises an announcement of the advertisement event that is provided when a current time equals the scheduled time.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the providing of the notification comprises providing at least one of a pop-up window, a flashing light, an audible alarm, or a kinetic action.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication comprises a request to dismiss the notification, reschedule the advertisement event, cancel the advertisement event, delay the notification, or immediate presentation of the at least one advertisement.

9 . A communication device, comprising:

a display configured to provide a notification corresponding to an advertisement event for presentation of at least one advertisement at the communication device; and

a processor in communication with each of a memory, a transceiver, and the display, the processor configured to receive an indication associated with presentation of the advertisement at a scheduled time and to check whether the indication is a permitted action on the advertisement event, wherein a network service is continued to be enabled for the communication device based on the indication being the permitted action.

10 . The communication device of claim 9 , wherein the processor checking the indication comprises checking a credit balance corresponding to a user to a threshold value when the indication comprises a request to reschedule the advertisement event at a later time than the schedule time or to cancel the advertisement event, and, in response to the credit balance being less than the threshold value, providing a low credit warning indication.

11 . The communication device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further adapted to receive a confirmation from the user to reschedule the advertisement event at the later time or to cancel the advertisement event after the providing of the low credit warning indication, wherein access to the network service for the communication device is halted in response to the confirmation.

12 . The communication device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further adapted to receive a second indication from the user to reschedule or cancel the advertisement event after the providing of the low credit warning indication, the indication and the second indication being different from each other.

13 . The communication device of claim 9 , wherein the notification comprises a reminder of the advertisement event that is provided when a current time equals a reminder time, the reminder time being prior to the scheduled time.

14 . The communication device of claim 9 , wherein the notification comprises an announcement of the advertisement event that is provided when a current time equals the scheduled time.

15 . The communication device of claim 9 , wherein the display provides the notification comprising a pop-up window, a light emitting diode (LED) in communication with the processor is configured to provide the notification comprising a flashing light, a speaker in communication with the processor is configured to provide the notification comprising an audible alarm, or a vibratory device in communication with the processor is configured to provide the notification comprising a vibration.

16 . The communication device of claim 9 , wherein the indication comprises a request to dismiss the notification, reschedule the advertisement event, cancel the advertisement event, delay the notification, or immediate presentation of the at least one advertisement.

17 . A computer program product comprising a tangible computer-readable medium storing program code which, when executed, causes a processor to:

provide a notification corresponding to an advertisement event for presentation of at least one advertisement at a communication device;

receive an indication associated with presentation of the advertisement at a scheduled time; and

check whether the indication is a permitted action on the advertisement event, wherein a network service is continued to be enabled for the communication device based on the indication being the permitted action.

18 . The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the check of the indication comprises:

check a credit balance corresponding to a user to a threshold value when the indication comprises a request to reschedule the advertisement event at a later time than the schedule time or to cancel the advertisement event; and

in response to the credit balance being less than the threshold value, provide a low credit warning indication.

19 . The computer program product of claim 18 , further comprising receive a confirmation from the user to reschedule the advertisement event at the later time or to cancel the advertisement event after the providing of the low credit warning indication, wherein access to the network service for the communication device is halted in response to the confirmation.

20 . The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the indication comprises a request to dismiss the notification, reschedule the advertisement event, cancel the advertisement event, delay the notification, or immediate presentation of the at least one advertisement.
