Provision of wireless device activity information to a third party based on acceptance of an offer presented to a user
View Patent ↗Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for providing wireless device activity information to a third party based on acceptance of an offer presented to a user. In a particular embodiment, a method provides detecting an occurrence of one of a plurality of trigger conditions, wherein each of the trigger conditions corresponds to at least one activity performed by a wireless communication device. In response to detecting the occurrence, the method provides presenting a user of the wireless communication device with an offer to provide device activity information for the wireless communication device to a third party. The method further provides receiving a response to the offer from the user, wherein the response comprises an indication of whether the user desires to accept the offer.
1. A method of operating a wireless communication system, comprising:
in a processing system, monitoring communications of a wireless communication device to detect an occurrence of the wireless communication device moving into a designated geographic area and visiting a designated website by a web browser on the wireless communication device while in the designated geographic area;
in response to detecting the occurrence, in a display system, presenting a user of the wireless communication device with an offer to provide previously visited website data for the wireless communication device to a third party in exchange for billing credits, wherein presenting the offer comprises a pop-up notification of the offer; and
receiving a response to the offer from the user, wherein the response comprises an indication of whether the user desires to accept the offer.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the previously visited website data is provided for a designated time period.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing the previously visited website data to the third party based upon the response to the offer.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein different levels of billing credits correspond to different conditions placed, by the user, upon provision of the previously visited website data to the third party.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the user is presented with the different levels of billing credits when determining whether to accept the offer.
6. A wireless communication system, comprising:
a processing system configured to monitor communications of a wireless communication device to detect an occurrence of the wireless communication device moving into a designated geographic area and visiting a designated website by a web browser on the wireless communication device while in the designated geographic area;
a communication interface configured to, in response to detecting the occurrence, transfer a notification of the occurrence to the wireless communication device, wherein, in response to receiving the notification of the occurrence, the wireless communication device presents a user of the wireless communication device with an offer to provide previously visited website data for the wireless communication device to a third party in exchange for billing credits, and receive a response to the offer from the user, wherein the offer comprises a pop-up notification and the response comprises an indication of whether the user desires to accept the offer.
7. The wireless communication system of claim 6 , further comprising:
the communication interface configured to provide the previously visited website data to the third party based upon the response to the offer.
8. The wireless communication system of claim 6 , wherein different levels of billing credits correspond to different conditions placed, by the user, upon provision of the previously visited website data to the third party.
9. The wireless communication system of claim 8 , wherein the user is presented with the different levels of billing credits when determining whether to accept the offer.
10. A wireless communication device, comprising:
a processing system configured to monitor communications of the wireless communication device to detect an occurrence of the wireless communication device moving into a designated geographic area and visiting a designated website on a web browser of the wireless communication device while in the designated geographic area;
a user interface configured to present a user of the wireless communication device with an offer to provide previously visited website data for the wireless communication device to a third party in exchange for billing credits, and receive a response to the offer from the user, wherein the offer comprises a pop-up notification and the response comprises an indication of whether the user desires to accept the offer.
