PRO-ACTIVE MOBILE NETWORK DATA USAGE ALERT SYSTEM

摘要

A flow analyzer analyzes data consumption of flows associated with a user device of a user. The flow analyzer determines, for a given flow associated with the user device, whether to generate a notification alerting the user about data consumption on the network associated with the given flow. For example, if the given flow contains a large object requiring an inordinate amount of data consumption or contains many smaller objects that in the aggregate require an inordinate amount of data consumption to provide the flow to the user device, the flow analyzer may generate a notification including information alerting the user to the size of the flow or object. Thus, the user may elect whether to continue a flow that may significantly impact their data allowance prior to incurring the costs.
