Abstract

Systems and methods of enhanced customer service for mobile carriers using real-time and historical mobile application and traffic or optimization data associated with mobile devices in a mobile network are disclosed. The data can be tracked by a client-side and/or a server-side reporting engine and usage analytics engine. Reports can also be generated by the system from the data and provided to the customer service/call center, such as trend charts showing optimization efficiency of traffic over a network and battery consumption vs. application load for a mobile device as a function of time.

Claims (15)

1. A non-transitory machine readable medium storing instructions which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:

collect data in conjunction with management and optimization of traffic to or from a plurality of mobile devices over a given mobile network over a period of time;

transmit at least a portion of the collected data to a service provider of one of a plurality of mobile networks accessed by the plurality of mobile devices;

generate one or more reports from the collected data, wherein the collected data includes, for each particular mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices, mobile device application data and device model information identifying a device model of the particular mobile device; and

transmit the one or more reports to the service provider,

wherein the one or more reports: identifies a plurality of device models ranked according to an amount of data sent to or from, over said period of time, the mobile devices of the plurality of mobile devices of a particular device model; and presents a ranking of device models measured by the number of users using them.

2. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the transmission of the at least a portion of the collected data and the transmission of the one or more reports are each sent periodically.

3. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the transmission of the at least a portion of the collected data and the transmission of the one or more reports are each sent upon request by the service provider.

4. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the one or more reports includes a number of mobile device applications that had a highest connection optimization and an efficiency achieved for each of a number of mobile device applications over a period of time.

5. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the one or more reports includes a number of mobile device applications that had a largest number of users and a particular number of users of each of a number of mobile device applications over a period of time.

6. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the one or more reports includes a number of mobile device applications that had a highest data consumption and an amount of data consumed by each of a number of mobile device applications over a period of time.

7. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the one or more reports includes a number of mobile device applications that had the greatest amount of network connection time and an amount of network connection time associated with each of a number of mobile device applications over a period of time.

8. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the one or more reports includes a number of device models that had a highest connection optimization and an efficiency achieved for each of a number of device models over a period of time.

9. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the one or more reports includes a number of device models that had a largest number of users and a particular number of users of each of a number of device models over a period of time.

10. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the one or more reports includes a number of device models that had a highest battery power consumption rate and a battery consumption rate for each of a number of device models over a period of time.
