Abstract

A process for modifying wireless data compression for a wireless electronic device includes displaying an application for modifying data compression on a display of the electronic device. The process further includes receiving a request from a user to modify a current data compression with a new data compression through an input device, evaluating the requested new data compression request in view of predetermined information of the user with a processor, and updating the wireless data compression with the new data compression after the evaluation with the processor.

Claims (51)

1. A process for modifying wireless data compression for a wireless electronic device comprising:

generating with a server a graphical user interface on a display of an Internet enabled device for modifying wireless data compression for a wireless electronic device;

receiving a request in the server from a user to modify a current wireless data compression with a new wireless data compression through an input device of the Internet enabled device;

evaluating with the server the new wireless data compression requested by the user in view of predetermined information of the user;

updating a wireless network with the new wireless data compression after the evaluation with the server; and

providing wireless service from the wireless network to the wireless electronic device utilizing the new wireless data compression;

wherein the request for the new wireless data compression includes a wireless data compression rate and a length of time of the wireless data compression; and

wherein after the length of time of the wireless data compression has expired, the data compression returns to a prior data compression rate.

2. The process according to claim 1 ,

wherein the request for the new wireless data compression comprises a request for the new wireless data compression for a single event; and

wherein after the single event has been completed, the data compression returns to a prior data compression rate.

3. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the generating the graphical user interface on the display of the Internet enabled device further comprises displaying a data compression rate, a data usage, and remaining data left in association with the wireless service.

4. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the server is associated with a wireless provider.

5. The process according to claim 4 , further comprising:

providing the user with wireless service consistent with the new wireless data compression utilizing a compression standard.

6. The process according to claim 5 , further comprising:

instructing a wireless compression device to provide the wireless electronic device of the user with wireless service consistent with the new wireless data compression.

7. The process according to claim 1 , further comprising:

compressing a wireless service consistent with the new wireless data compression with a wireless compression device.

8. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the wireless electronic device is a pre-paid phone with wireless network services provided by a mobile virtual network operator.

9. A server configured for modifying wireless data compression comprising:

the server being configured to generate a graphical user interface on a display of an Internet enabled device for modifying a wireless data compression of a wireless electronic device;

the server configured to receive a request from a user to modify a current wireless data compression with a new wireless data compression through an input of the Internet enabled device;

the server configured to evaluate the new wireless data compression requested by the user in view of predetermined information of the user;

the server configured to transmit to a wireless network a request to modify the wireless data compression with the new wireless data compression after the evaluation; and

the wireless network thereafter operating to provide wireless service that utilizes the new wireless data compression;

wherein a transceiver of the wireless electronic device is configured to utilize the wireless service from the wireless network utilizing the new wireless data compression;

wherein the request for the new wireless data compression includes a wireless data compression rate and a length of time of the wireless data compression; and

wherein after the length of time of the wireless data compression has expired, the data compression returns to a prior data compression rate.

10. The server according to claim 9 ,

wherein the request for the new wireless data compression comprises a request for the new wireless data compression for a single event; and

wherein after the single event has been completed, the data compression returns to a prior data compression rate.

11. The server according to claim 9 , wherein the graphical user interface is further configured to display a data compression rate, a data usage, and remaining data left in association with the wireless service on the display of the Internet enabled device.

12. The server according to claim 9 , wherein the wireless electronic device is further configured to decompress wireless data received from the wireless network.

13. The server according to claim 9 , wherein the server is further configured to update a wireless provider.

14. The server according to claim 9 , wherein the wireless electronic device is further configured to decompress a wireless service consistent with the new wireless data compression.

15. The server according to claim 9 , wherein the predetermined information is a wireless data compression rate.

16. The server according to claim 9 wherein the wireless electronic device comprises a pre-paid phone with wireless network services provided by a mobile virtual network operator.

17. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions for modifying a wireless data compression, which when executed on a processor, causes an electronic device to perform the following:

instructions for generating a graphical user interface for modifying the wireless data compression for a wireless device on a display of an Internet enabled device;

instructions for receiving a request from a user to modify a current wireless data compression with a new wireless data compression through an input device of the Internet enabled device;

instructions for evaluating the new data compression requested by the user in view of predetermined information of the user; and

instructions for updating a wireless data service with the new wireless data compression after the evaluation; and

instructions for providing wireless service from a wireless network to the wireless device utilizing the new wireless data compression,

wherein the request for the new wireless data compression includes a wireless data compression rate and a length of time of the wireless data compression; and

wherein after the length of time of the wireless data compression has expired, the data compression returns to a prior data compression rate.

18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 17 ,

wherein the request of the new wireless data compression comprises a request for the new wireless data compression for a single event; and

wherein after the single event has been completed, the data compression returns to a prior data compression rate.

19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 17 , wherein the graphical user interface is further configured to display a data compression rate, a data usage, and remaining data left in association with the wireless service on the display of the Internet enabled device.

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 17 , further comprising instructions for updating a server associated with a wireless provider.
