Abstract

This disclosure provides systems, methods, services, and platforms for prompting a user to respond to an offer on a mobile device. The disclosure enables Mobile Network Operators to create campaigns to target customers who are nearing the limit of their data plans, voice plans, SMS plans, and MMS plans. In some embodiments, the cloud server interacts with a client application to prompt the use of a mobile device to respond to an offer send in a campaign. The disclosure also provides embodiments to check to see if the user has opted out of receiving offers, or if a device can not execute a command, or if a threshold number of offers has already been sent. This disclosure also provides embodiments for authenticating third party account log-in.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for automatically prompting a user to respond to an offer on a mobile device after a triggering event, the method comprising:

receiving, at the processor in the mobile device, an indication that a triggering event has occurred;

receiving at the mobile device a first offer message comprising one or more first actionable response options and comprising an Integrated Circuit Card Identifier (ICCID);

launching an application, wherein the application is installed on either a SIM card of the mobile device or an operating system of the mobile device;

comparing the ICCID of the first offer message to the ICCID of the mobile device, wherein a match indicates that further processing of the first offer message is permissible;

displaying on the screen of the mobile device the first offer message,

wherein the application causes the first offer message to be displayed.

2. A computer-implemented method for automatically prompting a user to respond to an offer on a mobile device after a triggering event, the method comprising:

receiving, at the processor in the mobile device, an indication that a triggering event has occurred;

receiving at the mobile device a first offer message comprising one or more first actionable response options;

launching an application, wherein the application is installed on either a SIM card of the mobile device or an operating system of the mobile device;

displaying on the screen of the mobile device the first offer message, wherein the application causes the first offer message to be displayed

receiving, in the application, a non-responsive response, wherein the non-responsive response indicates that the first option message had been removed from the screen of the mobile device because of a timeout;

determining the display count, wherein the display count represents the number of times the first offer message has been displayed on the screen of the mobile device;

comparing the display count to a display count limit; and

sending a limit communication to the server, wherein the limit communication is sent when the display count is greater than or equal to the display count limit.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising displaying the first offer message on the screen of the device again.

4. A computer-implemented method for automatically prompting a user to respond to an offer on a mobile device after a triggering event, the method comprising:

receiving, at the processor in the mobile device, an indication that a triggering event has occurred;

receiving at the mobile device a first offer message comprising one or more first actionable response options;

launching an application, wherein the application is installed on either a SIM card of the mobile device or an operating system of the mobile device;

displaying on the screen of the mobile device the first offer message, wherein the application causes the first offer message to be displayed,

wherein the triggering event is selected from the group consisting of the mobile device having used up a first amount of a data plan, the mobile device having used up a second amount of a voice plan, the mobile device having used up a third amount of an SMS plan, the mobile device having used up a fourth amount of an MMS plan, when a browser on the mobile device navigates to a first web address, when the location of the mobile device is within a first geographic area, when the account balance associated with the mobile device falls below a threshold amount, and after a certain number of phone calls.
