Global data service device connection manager
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for a global data service connection manager, the method comprising executing on a computer processor steps of:
- determining a shared data account balance for data available to a first user as a function of data amounts previously made available to a shared data system by the first user for the use of a second user registered on the shared data system; and
in response to a first request by the first user to execute a data transaction for a registered connection by using data from the shared system, acquiring an amount of shared data from a wireless service account of the second user via a network connection registered on the shared system, in a shared amount that does not exceed the shared data account balance of the first user.

Abstract
A global data service connection manager determines a shared data account balance for data available to a user as a function of data amounts previously made available to a shared data system by the first user for the use of other registered users. In response to a request by the first user to execute a data transaction by using data from the shared system, the shared data account balance and the data available at the brokered purchase price are automatically arbitrated to acquire at least one of data from a wireless service account of another registered user of the shared system in an amount that does not exceed the first user'"'"'s shared data account balance, and data purchased from a wireless service account of another registered user of the shared system in a purchased amount that does not exceed data available at a brokered purchase price.

12. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; a computer readable memory in circuit communication with the processor; and a computer readable storage medium in circuit communication with the processor; wherein the processor executes program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage medium via the computer readable memory and thereby; determines a shared data account balance for data available to a first user as a function of data amounts previously made available to a shared data system by the first user for the use of a second user registered on the shared data system; and in response to a first request by the first user to execute a data transaction for a registered connection by using data from the shared system, acquires an amount of shared data from a wireless service account of the second user via a network connection registered on the shared system, in a shared amount that does not exceed the shared data account balance of the first user. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer program product for a global data service connection manager, the computer program product comprising:
-
a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the computer readable program code comprising instructions for execution by a processor that cause the processor to; determine a shared data account balance for data available to a first user as a function of data amounts previously made available to a shared data system by the first user for the use of a second user registered on the shared data system; and in response to a first request by the first user to execute a data transaction for a registered connection by using data from the shared system, acquire an amount of shared data from a wireless service account of the second user via a network connection registered on the shared system, in a shared amount that does not exceed the shared data account balance of the first user. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
