Conformity analysis system for analyzing conformity to restrictions on the use of a wireless communication device

摘要

Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for analyzing conformity to restrictions on the use of a wireless communication device to allow a user to make application usage decisions based on cost and application performance. In a particular embodiment, a method provides identifying restrictions on the use of a wireless communication device having applications available to the wireless communication device. The method further provides identifying a first application of the applications available to the wireless communication device that uses resources of a wireless communication network. The method further provides determining a first measure of conformity by the first application to the restrictions on the use of the wireless communication device and generating an instruction to display to a user an indication of the first measure of conformity by the first application to the restrictions on the use of the wireless communication device.

1. A method of operating a conformity analysis system comprising:
identifying restrictions on the use of resources of a wireless communication network by a wireless communication device having applications available to the wireless communication device; identifying a first application of the applications available to the wireless communication device that uses at least one of the resources of the wireless communication network; determining a first measure of conformity of the use of the at least one of the resources by the first application to the restrictions on the use of the resources of the wireless communication network by the wireless communication device, wherein the restrictions include a resource limit, which varies over time, on the amount of the resources of the wireless communication network that can be used by the wireless communication device and wherein determining the first measure of conformity includes a determination of whether the limit on the amount of resources of the wireless communication network at a first time satisfies the resources required by the first application at the first time; generating an instruction to display to a user an indication of the first measure of conformity, wherein the wireless communication device displays an icon for the first application surrounded with a color indicator corresponding to the first measure of conformity in response to the instruction, and wherein the icon for the first application causes execution of the first application by the wireless communication device when selected by the user.
