The present system relates to a server providing data connectivity to an electronic device. The server includes a memory storing data connectivity policy information for the electronic device. The policy information defines a data traffic threshold marking a change in data traffic billing for data traffic the electronic device may exchange with service provider(s) over a telecommunication network. The server has a receiver, which monitors data traffic from instances of applications installed on the electronic device, and has a usage monitor, which maintains a first quantity indicative of the monitored data traffic. A data connectivity policy manager detects that the first quantity exceeds the data traffic threshold of the data connectivity policy, determines a first application requesting such traffic, retrieves a second application linked to the first application, the second application having data traffic billing specific to the second application, and presents the second application to the electronic device.

BANDWIDTH AWARE NETWORK STATISTICS COLLECTION
20170346955 · 2017-11-30 ·

Herein disclosed are systems, methods, and apparatus for controlling data usage statistics in network-connected devices. The ‘stats’ collection can be suppressed during minimum window periods, thereby reducing CPU and resources usage needed to processes the stats collection. Further, the minimum window can be a function of a link speed of the communication channel as well as a data usage proximity to a data usage warning limit. Further, stats collection can be triggered by expiration of a timer or data usage that meets a buffer threshold, where both the timer and threshold are selected based on the communication channel link speed, and buffer threshold is further a function of the data usage proximity to the warning limit.

MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE MONITORING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
20220060545 · 2022-02-24 ·

Systems and methods are directed to monitoring the communications to and from a mobile communication device in accordance with one or more embodiments. For example in accordance with an embodiment, data services a mobile communication device's applications maybe monitored against smart contracts stored in a central data center repository and/or written to a blockchain. Other data services may include all forms of communications between the mobile communication device and a third party along with changes to application or data within the mobile communication device. Monitoring the mobile communication device may be done to determine compliance with the smart contracts and whether a penalty or reward on device usage should be applied.
