Devices, systems and methods for managing custom alpha tags

摘要

Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for a subscriber of services on a network to display a custom operator name or alpha tag on the subscriber mobile communications device. The custom alpha tag (or operator name) is selected or defined by the subscriber via an interface on a communications device, and a custom operator name request is submitted to a provisioning logic on the network. The provisioning logic communicates with business rule logic on the network, the business rule logic being configured to retrieve and/or update a first account associated with the subscriber with the custom operator name. A billing logic within a billing subsystem may be invoked to debit a second account associated with the subscriber. A programming logic on the network then updates one or more mobile devices with the custom alpha tag. The several logic units may be part of an Over-the-air (OTA) platform on the network.

1. A system, comprising:
a processor on a network; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
providing a user interface to a communication device of a user, the user interface enabling selecting a predefined operator name and receiving an input of a custom operator name,receiving a custom operator name request from the communication device, the custom operator name request comprising the custom operator name generated at the user interface,determining whether to charge the user for the custom operator name request,determining whether the custom operator name request conflicts with an existing business rule,in response to determining that the custom operator name request does not conflict with the existing business rule, updating a public land mobile network list with the custom operator name, the public land mobile network list being stored in a first subscriber account associated with the user, andtransmitting the custom operator name to a mobile communication device on the network, wherein the custom operator name is displayed on a display of the mobile communication device.
