Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a system for content triggered high-speed data service delivery independent of media delivery mechanisms. A backend system receives instructions from high-speed data customer indicating a selection of content triggered data service delivery; in response to receiving the instructions, enables content triggered data service delivery; (i) causes a gateway to cut-off HSD service or (ii) cuts-off supply to the gateway; causes a specified device connected to the gateway on its customer side to run a triggering content; and, in response to completion of running of the triggering content on the specified device, (i) causes the gateway to cut-on HSD service for the customer, or (ii) cutting on HSD service to the gateway and customer.

Claims (59)

1. A backend system for content triggered high-speed data (HSD) service delivery independent of media delivery mechanisms, the system comprising:

a memory device; and

a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device, wherein the processing device is configured to execute computer-readable program code to:

(a) receive from a high-speed data customer instructions indicating a selection of content triggered data service delivery;

(b) in response to receiving the instructions, enable content triggered data service delivery;

(c) cause a gateway to cut-off HSD service for a duration in which the content triggered data service delivery is enabled;

(d) cause a specified device connected to the gateway on its customer side to run a triggering content; and

(e) based on and in response to completion of running of the triggering content on the specified device, (i) causing the gateway to cut-on HSD service for the customer, and (ii) removing the content triggered data service delivery.

2. The backend system of claim 1 , wherein the received instructions are transmitted from a device on a customer side of the gateway, through the gateway, to the backend system.

3. The backend system of claim 2 , wherein the specified device is the device from which the received instructions were transmitted.

4. The backend system of claim 1 , wherein the specified device is predetermined based on at least selected from a most-used device, a least-used device, a latest-used device, and a next-used device.

5. The backend system of claim 1 , wherein cutting off HSD service by the gateway comprises preventing HSD service for all devices connected to a customer side of the gateway.

6. The backend system of claim 1 , wherein cutting off HSD service by the gateway comprises preventing HSD service for less than all devices connected to a customer side of the gateway.

7. The backend system of claim 1 , wherein each of (c), (d), and (e) comprises transmitting instructions from the backend system.

8. A backend system for content triggered high-speed data (HSD) service delivery

independent of media delivery mechanisms, the system comprising:

a memory device; and

a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device, wherein the processing device is configured to execute computer-readable program code to:

receive instructions from high-speed data customer indicating a selection of content triggered data service delivery;

in response to receiving the instructions, enable content triggered data service delivery;

cut-off supply to a gateway for a duration in which the content triggered data service delivery is enabled;

cause a specified device connected to the gateway on its customer side to run a triggering content; and

based on and in response to completion of running of the triggering content on the specified device, (i) cutting on supply to the gateway, and (ii) removing the content triggered data service delivery.

9. The backend system of claim 8 , wherein the received instructions are transmitted from a device on a customer side of the gateway, through the gateway, to the backend system.

10. The backend system of claim 9 , wherein the specified device is the device from which the received instructions were transmitted.

11. The backend system of claim 8 , wherein the specified device is predetermined based on at least selected from a most-used device, a least-used device, a latest-used device, and a next-used device.

12. The backend system of claim 8 , wherein cutting off HSD service by the gateway comprises preventing HSD service for all devices connected to a customer side of the gateway.

13. The backend system of claim 8 , wherein cutting off HSD service by the gateway comprises preventing HSD service for less than all devices connected to a customer side of the gateway.

14. The backend system of claim 8 , wherein each of (c), (d), and (e) comprises transmitting instructions from the backend system.

15. A system for content triggered HSD service delivery independent of media delivery mechanisms, the system comprising:

a backend system comprising:

a memory device; and

a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device, wherein the processing device is configured to execute computer-readable program code to:

receive instructions from high-speed data customer indicating a selection of content triggered data service delivery;

in response to receiving the instructions, enable content triggered data service delivery;

cause a gateway system to cut-off HSD service for a duration in which the content triggered data service delivery is enabled;

cause a specified device connected to a gateway on its customer side, through the gateway system, to run a triggering content; and

based on and in response to completion of running of the triggering content on the specified device, (i) causing the gateway to cut-on HSD service for the customer, and (ii) removing the content triggered data service delivery; and

wherein the gateway system is in operative communication with the backend system, the gateway system comprising:

the gateway;

at least one memory device; and

at least one processing device operatively coupled to the at least one memory device, wherein the at least one processing device is configured to execute program instructions to:

in response to receiving the instructions from the backend system, cut-off HSD service and cut-on HSD service.

16. The backend system of claim 15 , wherein the specified device is the device from which the received instructions were transmitted.

17. The backend system of claim 15 , wherein the specified device is predetermined based on at least selected from a most-used device, a least-used device, a latest-used device, and a next-used device.

18. The backend system of claim 15 , wherein cutting off HSD service by the gateway comprises preventing HSD service for all devices connected to a customer side of the gateway.

19. The backend system of claim 15 , wherein cutting off HSD service by the gateway comprises preventing HSD service for less than all devices connected to a customer side of the gateway.

20. A method for content triggered HSD service delivery independent of media delivery mechanisms, the method comprising:

(a) receiving instructions from a high-speed data customer indicating a selection of content triggered data service delivery;

(b) in response to receiving the instructions, enabling content triggered data service delivery;

(c) causing a gateway to cut-off HSD service for a duration in which the content triggered data service delivery is enabled;

(d) causing a specified device connected to the gateway on its customer side to run a triggering content; and

(e) based on and in response to completion of running of the triggering content on the specified device, (i) causing the gateway to cut-on HSD service for the customer, and (ii) removing the content triggered data service delivery.

21. A method for content triggered HSD service delivery independent of media delivery mechanisms, the method comprising:

(a) receiving instructions from high-speed data customer indicating a selection of content triggered data service delivery;

(b) in response to receiving the instructions, enabling content triggered data service delivery;

(c) cutting off supply to a gateway for a duration in which the content triggered data service delivery is enabled;

(d) causing a specified device connected to the gateway on its customer side to run a triggering content; and

(e) based on and in response to completion of running of the triggering content on the specified device, (i) cutting on supply to the gateway, and (ii) removing the content triggered data service delivery.
