| 摘要 |
A system is described for providing a wireless ambient service to a mobile end-user device operating on a Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN). An ambient service has a primary policy that allows a user to directly access primary ambient content, but not other content, through the service. A secondary policy allows the user to access, as ambient content, content outside of the primary policy. The secondary policy allows the access of the content outside of the primary policy based on a dynamic association with primary content. The system includes one or more device agents and an ambient service proxy server that cooperate to implement the service. Policy control elements can be implemented, for example, either by the device agents or by the proxy server. |

1. A system for providing a wireless ambient service to a mobile end-user device operating on a Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN), the system comprising:
one or more device agents on a mobile end-user device configured for communication over a WWAN connection, at a time that the WWAN connection is available, the agents to
process wireless ambient service Internet access requests generated by at least one application on the device interfacing with a device user, andcommunicate with an ambient service proxy server, to
send to the proxy server at least some of the wireless ambient service Internet access requests, andreceive from the proxy server, responsive to at least some of the sent requests, Internet data sourced from a plurality of Internet destinations other than the proxy server; the ambient service proxy server, configured to respond to at least some of the sent Internet access requests, when received from the one or more device agents, by communicating responsive Internet data, including Internet data sourced from one or more Internet destinations other than the proxy server, to the one or more device agents; an ambient service policy comprising a primary policy and at least one secondary policy, the primary policy specifying allowable initial ambient service device access behaviors, the at least one secondary policy specifying conditional ambient service device access behaviors, for access behaviors not allowed by the primary policy; and one or more policy control elements to apply the ambient service policy to the wireless ambient service Internet access requests generated by the at least one application, such that a first one of the Internet access requests is allowed as within the primary policy, and a second one of the Internet access requests, not allowable by the primary policy, is allowed based on the at least one secondary policy and an association with the first one of the Internet access requests. |
