Method and system for correlation of mobile channel subscription with delivery context
View Patent ↗A method and system for establishing a delivery context for channel subscription in a mobile network comprising the steps of: establishing, from a mobile device in the mobile network, a subscription with a content provider; and passing a delivery context to a delivery server.
1. A mobile device comprising:
a processor configured to execute a delivery client for receiving a first message from a delivery server, the first message containing a channel identifier and notifying the delivery client about a subscription initiated with a subscription portal,
wherein the processor is further configured to execute the delivery client for sending, to a content application on the mobile device, a second message for notifying the content application about the subscription, the second message being different from the first message and including the channel identifier.
2. The mobile device of claim 1 wherein the channel identifier identifies a channel for the delivery client to use for obtaining content relative to the subscription.
3. The mobile device of claim 1 wherein the subscription portal is a website.
4. The mobile device of claim 3 wherein the processor is further configured to execute a browser application for establishing the subscription with the website.
5. The mobile device of claim 4 wherein the browser application is configured to provide information to the website, the information including at least one of a user identity, a device identity, account information, a preferred radio bearer, and device capabilities.
6. A method performed by a mobile device, the method comprising:
receiving a first message from a delivery server, the first message containing a channel identifier and notifying a delivery client on the mobile device about a subscription initiated with a subscription portal; and
sending, from the delivery client to a content application on the mobile device, a second message for notifying the content application about the subscription, the second message being different from the first message and including the channel identifier.
7. The method of claim 6 wherein the channel identifier identifies a channel for the delivery client to use for obtaining content relative to the subscription.
8. The method of claim 6 wherein the subscription portal is a website.
9. The method of claim 8 further comprising:
using a browser application on the mobile device for establishing the subscription with the website.
10. The method of claim 9 wherein using the browser application comprises providing information to the website, the information including at least one of a user identity, a device identity, account information, a preferred radio bearer, and device capabilities.
11. A non-transitory storage medium carrying computer-readable instructions which when executed by a processor cause an apparatus to perform the operations of:
receiving a first message from a delivery server, the first message containing a channel identifier and notifying a delivery client on the mobile device about a subscription initiated with a subscription portal; and
sending, from the delivery client to a content application on the mobile device, a second message for notifying the content application about the subscription, the second message being different from the first message and including the channel identifier.
12. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 11 wherein the channel identifier identifies a channel for the delivery client to use for obtaining content relative to the subscription.
13. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 11 wherein the subscription portal is a website.
14. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 13 wherein the computer-readable instructions are further configured, when executed by a processor, to cause:
using a browser application on the mobile device for establishing the subscription with the website.
15. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 14 wherein using the browser application comprises providing information to the website, the information including at least one of a user identity, a device identity, account information, a preferred radio bearer, and device capabilities.
