An intelligent interface responds to an order received in a text messaging session by initiating payment from an electronic wallet. An IP network interface receives requests including a source phone number, message content and the destination phone number. From the requests, an order program receives an order destined to a client establishment associated with the destination phone number. A response is generated with payment options from an electronic wallet associated with the source phone number. A reply generator generates a reply including the source phone number as a destination, the destination phone number as a source and the response. Selection of one of the payment options in the response causes the order program to process the payment for the order from the electronic wallet and forward the order to the client establishment.

A method at a user equipment to facilitate splitting of data billing between at least two parties, the method assigning a first subset of application to a first forwarding information base (“FIB”) on the user equipment; associating the first FIB with a first cellular data interface; activating the splitting of data billing on the user equipment; and replacing the association in the first FIB to the first cellular interface with an association between a second cellular data interface and the first FIB.

An aspect of the invention relates to a computer-implemented method for charging and paying for a use of resources of a distributed network. The distributed network comprises a plurality of nodes, wherein each of the plurality of nodes is configured to run one or more computational units. The one or more computational units comprise one or more application units for providing application services to users of the distributed network. The embodied method comprises steps of running, by each user of the network, one or more local user gas accounts at one or more of the application units and processing, via the local user gas accounts, payments for the use of the resources of the distributed network.

Further aspects relate to a distributed network, a node of a distributed network and a corresponding computer program product.

An intelligent interface responds to a received order by initiating payment from an electronic wallet. An IP network interface receives requests. From the requests, an order program receives an order destined to a client establishment. A response is generated with payment options from an electronic wallet associated with the source phone number. Selection of one of the payment options in the response causes the order program to process the payment for the order from the electronic wallet and forward the order to the client establishment.

A method of redirecting data streams exchanged by a mobile terminal associated with a “third-party” account, with a first telecommunications network. The method includes a prior stage including: the first network receiving from the mobile terminal a registration request, and recovering the profile of the third-party account; the first network sending a DNS request including a “redirection” access point name; the DNS system responding by supplying the IP address of a “stream redirection” server; the first network setting up a tunnel between the server and the mobile terminal, by providing the server with at least one identifier of the third-party account; the server supplying a second telecommunications network with which the user of the mobile terminal holds a personal account that is distinct from the third-party account, with at least one identifier of the personal account; and the stream redirection server setting up a tunnel with the second network.

Structures and protocols are presented for signaling a status or decision concerning a wireless service or device within a region to a communication device (smartphone or wearable device, e.g.) or other wireless communication participant (motor vehicle having a wireless communication capability, e.g.).

A mobile digital telecommunication system, a computer-implemented method, and a computer readable medium having stored thereon a computer executable program code for processing of usage detail records (UDRs) is disclosed herein. The mobile digital cellular telecommunication system comprises a network component configured to generate the UDRs, a rating system and a billing system.

A method at a user equipment to facilitate splitting of data billing between at least two parties, the method assigning a first subset of application to a first forwarding information base (“FIB”) on the user equipment; associating the first FIB with a first cellular data interface; activating the splitting of data billing on the user equipment; and replacing the association in the first FIB to the first cellular interface with an association between a second cellular data interface and the first FIB.

A relay device includes the following elements. A use request receiver receives a use request to use a service to be provided by a service providing device from a client device. An allocation request sender sends an allocation request to allocate a usage amount of the service based on a usage amount indicated by usage amount information specified by the use request received by the use request receiver to a different relay device. An allocated amount receiver receives allocated amount information indicating an allocated usage amount for the service sent from the different relay device in response to the allocation request. A return information generator generates return information from the allocated amount information received from the allocated amount receiver and a usage amount of the service. A return information sender sends the return information generated by the return information generator to the different relay device.

Systems and methods are provided to facilitate donations via mobile communications. In one aspect, a system includes a data storage facility and an interchange having a common format processor and a plurality of converters to interface with a plurality of different controllers of mobile communications. The converters are configured to communicate with the controllers in different formats and with the common format processor in a common format. For a payment to a merchant, the common format processor provides a user interface configured to present charity donation options in response to a phone number being specified in the user interface to identify a fund source. The common format processor uses one of the converters to communicate with a mobile phone at the phone number to confirm the payment to the merchant and a donation to a separate charity organization specified via the user interface.
