Managing resource usage of a mobile device

摘要

Methods and systems for managing resource usage of a mobile device based on a resource threshold of a wireless communications network. A resource policy is received from a mobile device. The resource policy indicates that a network resource manager associated with a wireless communications network is authorized to use the resource policy to control the resource usage of the mobile device to support a resource threshold level of the wireless communications network. The wireless communications network is associated with a service provider of the mobile device. It is then determined that the wireless communications network has met the resource threshold. Upon determining that the wireless communications threshold has met the resource threshold, the resource usage of the mobile device is limited using the received resource policy of the mobile device.

1. A computer-implemented method of managing resource usage of mobile devices based on resource thresholds of wireless communications networks, the method comprising:
receiving a resource policy from a mobile device that is registered to a service provider network resource management subscription plan for a wireless communications network, the resource policy indicating that a network resource manager associated with the wireless communications network is authorized to use the resource policy to control the resource usage of the mobile device to support a resource threshold level of the wireless communications network; determining that the wireless communications network has met the resource threshold; upon determining that the wireless communications threshold has met the resource threshold, restricting the resource usage of the mobile device using the received resource policy of the mobile device; and determining a reward for the network resource management subscription plan for the mobile device, wherein a portion of the reward is based in part upon a calculated amount of restricted resource usage of the mobile device during peak hours of wireless communications network traffic.
