Opportunistic content presentation during temporary operation modes of a mobile communication device
First Claim
1. A method of providing content to a mobile communication device during a service activation of the device, comprising:
- receiving a first data communication session request by a cell site from a mobile communication device that has not been activated for service in a wireless communication network associated with the cell site;
in response to the first data communication session request, establishing by a gateway node of the wireless communication network a device activation communication service between the mobile communication device and a restricted activation network within the wireless communication network and establishing a first data communication session over the device activation communication service;
conducting an activation process at least in part via the first data communication session by an activation server operating in the restricted activation network communicating with the mobile communication device;
receiving a second data communication session request by the cell site from an opportunistic content presentation client on the mobile communication device;
in response to the second data communication session request and while the activation process is conducted by the activation server, establishing by the gateway node a second data communication session over the device activation communication service that connects to a media server operating in the restricted activation network;
selecting a content by the media server based on an identity of a subscriber associated with the mobile communication device; and
transmitting the selected content via the second data communication session by the media server to the mobile communication device,whereby the content is presented on a display of the mobile communication device during activation of the device, where the content is unrelated to the service activation process for the mobile communication device.

Abstract
A mobile communication device. The device comprises a processor, a memory, an activation client stored in the memory, and a content client stored in the memory. When executed by the processor during a process of activating the device, the activation client establishes a slot-0 communication channel and completes an activation of the device with a provisioning server in the provisioning infrastructure via a plurality of activation messages exchanged via the slot-0 communication channel. When executed by the processor, the content client parses and analyzes the parsed activation messages, based on analyzing the parsed activation messages, sends a request for content to a media server over the slot-0 communication channel, receives the requested content via the slot-0 communication channel, and presents the received content in a first window of a split-screen in a visual display, where the activation client presents activation information in a second window of the split-screen.

10. A mobile communication device, comprising:
-
a radio transceiver; a visual display; a processor; a non-transitory memory; an activation client stored in the non-transitory memory that, when executed by the processor during a process of activating the mobile communication device, establishes a wireless communication link via the radio transceiver with a provisioning infrastructure over a slot-0 communication channel and completes an activation of the mobile communication device with an activation server in the provisioning infrastructure via a plurality of activation messages exchanged via the slot-0 communication channel; and an opportunistic content presentation client stored in the non-transitory memory that, when executed by the processor, parses the activation messages, analyzes the parsed activation messages, based on analyzing the parsed activation messages, sends a request for content to a media server over the slot-0 communication channel, receives the requested content via the slot-0 communication channel, and presents the received content in a first window of a split-screen in the visual display, where the activation client presents activation information in a second window of the split-screen. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
