Method for performing interactive services on mobile device, such as time or location initiated interactive services
View Patent ↗A system for performing interactive services at a mobile device is disclosed. In some cases, the system receives an indication of an event, and provides interactive services to a user of the mobile device based on the event. In some cases, an indication of an event in invokes a script-based process that determines one or more actions to present to a user of the mobile device.
1. A method for providing a service to a user of a mobile telecommunications device, the method comprising:
detecting an occurrence of an event at the mobile telecommunications device,
wherein the event is not a call placed by or to the mobile telecommunications device; and
wherein detecting an occurrence of an event comprises detecting a situation where a wireless functionality is more likely to be needed;
in response to detecting the occurrence of the event, determining that the event is related to one or more scripts stored in the mobile telecommunications device;
initiating the one or more determined scripts to run on the mobile telecommunications device;
wherein the initiated one or more scripts are configured to enable the wireless functionality;
detecting an occurrence of a second event at the mobile telecommunications device comprising detecting a second situation where the wireless functionality is less likely to be needed;
in response to detecting the occurrence of the second event, determining that the second event is related to one or more second scripts;
initiating the one or more determined second scripts to run on the mobile telecommunications device; and
using the initiated one or more determined second scripts to disable the wireless functionality.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the wireless functionality comprises Bluetooth functionality.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the wireless functionality comprises IEEE 802.11 or other WIFI functionality.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the wireless functionality comprises a cellular link.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein detecting an occurrence of an event comprises detecting a specified timeframe.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein detecting an occurrence of an event comprises detecting a specified location of the mobile telecommunications device.
7. A system comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors;
wherein the memory stores instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
detecting an occurrence of an event at the mobile telecommunications device,
wherein detecting an occurrence of an event comprises detecting a situation where a wireless functionality is more likely to be needed;
in response to detecting the occurrence of the event, initiating one or more scripts stored on the mobile telecommunications device to run on the mobile telecommunications device;
wherein the initiated one or more scripts are configured to enable the wireless functionality;
detecting an occurrence of a second event at the mobile telecommunications device comprising detecting a second situation where the wireless functionality is less likely to be needed;
in response to detecting the occurrence of the second event, initiating one or more second scripts to run on the mobile telecommunications device; and
using the initiated one or more second scripts to disable the wireless functionality.
8. The system of claim 7 wherein the wireless functionality comprises Bluetooth functionality.
9. The system of claim 7 wherein the wireless functionality comprises IEEE 802.11 or other WIFI functionality.
10. The system of claim 7 wherein the wireless functionality comprises a cellular link.
11. The system of claim 7 wherein detecting an occurrence of an event comprises detecting a specified timeframe.
12. The system of claim 7 wherein detecting an occurrence of an event comprises detecting a specified location of the mobile telecommunications device.
13. At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions configured to, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations for controlling wireless functionality, the operations comprising:
detecting an occurrence of an event at the mobile telecommunications device,
wherein detecting an occurrence of an event comprises detecting a situation where a wireless functionality is more likely to be needed;
in response to detecting the occurrence of the event, initiating one or more scripts stored on the mobile telecommunications device to run on the mobile telecommunications device;
wherein the initiated one or more scripts are configured to enable the wireless functionality;
detecting an occurrence of a second event at the mobile telecommunications device comprising detecting a second situation where the wireless functionality is less likely to be needed;
in response to detecting the occurrence of the second event, initiating one or more second scripts to run on the mobile telecommunications device; and
using the initiated one or more second scripts to disable the wireless functionality.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 wherein the wireless functionality comprises Bluetooth functionality.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 wherein the wireless functionality comprises IEEE 802.11 or other WIFI functionality.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 wherein the wireless functionality comprises a cellular link.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 wherein detecting an occurrence of an event comprises detecting a specified timeframe.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 wherein detecting an occurrence of an event comprises detecting a specified location of the mobile telecommunications device.
