Verifiable device assisted service policy implementation

摘要

A wireless device and a method for reducing data usage over a first wireless access network associated with a first service activity with the method being performed by the wireless device are disclosed. The wireless device comprises one or more modems for enabling the wireless device to communicate over at least two wireless access networks; a user interface; a memory and one or more processors for executing one or more agents. The at least two wireless access networks comprises a first wireless access network and a second wireless access network. The memory is configured to store a first service policy associated with the first wireless access network. The first service policy comprises one or more first network policy settings or rules and the first service policy is configured to assist in reducing data usage associated with a first service activity over the first wireless access network. The first service activity is less than all service activities available to the wireless device and the first service policy is for enabling control of the first service activity on the first wireless access network that is different from how the first service activity is controlled on the second wireless access network. The one or more agents are configured to obtain, through the user interface, a user input indicating to apply the first service policy to the first service activity when the wireless device is connected to the first wireless access network, identify when the wireless device is connected to the first wireless access network, identify attempted or successful data communications over the first wireless access network that are associated with the first service activity, and apply the first service policy to the identified attempted or successful data communications over the first wireless access network, thereby reducing data usage over the first wireless access network associated with the first service activity.
