A METHOD, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND COLLECTION CONTROLLER ALLOWING THIRD PARTY INFLUENCE ON THE PROVISION OF A SERVICE TO A USER STATION

摘要

According to the invention a content provider (CP) provides a content provider & service identification (CP & S-ID) to a collection controller (SPC-CNTL). The collection controller (SPC-CNTL) retrieves (S31, S32) content provider and service specific service provision characteristics (CP & S-SPC) from a user subscription database (UDB) and sets these service provision characteristics (CP & S-SPC) as a filter in a service provision control device (SPCD) to be used in the provision (S8r) of a service from the content provider (CP) to the user equipment (UE). Thus, the content provider (CP), through the retrieved content server & service related characteristics (CP & S-SPC) from the user subscriber database (UDB), can influence the charging and transmission policies used by service provision control device (SPCD) for providing the service.
