SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTEXT-AWARE SERVICE SUBSCRIPTION MANAGEMENT

摘要

Systems and methods for context-aware service subscription management are provided. In an embodiment a context-aware service subscription management system includes a policy decision module that makes a decision whether the requested service will be provided based on policy rules, subscription profiles and the context of the request for the service. The use of context to make the policy decision allows for services offerings to be adjusted dynamically to the context of a particular user's service request. The subscription management system further includes a policy rules module, subscription profile interface and a context analysis module. The policy rules module provides policy rules. The context analysis module determines the context of a service request. Based on context information, the policy decision module in effect temporarily overrides a subscription profile based on the context of a service access by the user. Methods of use for the context-aware service subscription management systems are also provided.
