First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a processor of a communications network of a network service provider; and
a computer-readable storage device storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising;
determining based on a forecast or an occurrence of an event corresponding to a constraint provided by a customer whether a modification of a reporting interval of a machine type communication device is to be performed, wherein the reporting interval is a time interval between sequential reporting of data captured by the machine type communication device, when the machine type communication device is a device of the customer for which the modification of the reporting interval is provided;
identifying a reporting interval for the machine type communication device when the modification of the reporting interval of the machine type communication device is to be performed; and
sending the reporting interval that is identified to the machine type communication device in a message.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for modification of a reporting interval are disclosed. For example, the method determines whether a modification of a reporting interval of a machine type communication device is to be performed, when the machine type communication device is a device of a customer for which the modification of the reporting interval is provided, identifies a reporting interval for the machine type communication device when the modification of the reporting interval of the machine type communication device is to be performed, and sends the reporting interval that is identified to the machine type communication device in a message.

20. A method comprising:
-
determining, by a processor of a communications network of a network service provider, based on a forecast or an occurrence of an event corresponding to a constraint provided by a customer whether a modification of a reporting interval of a machine type communication device is to be performed, wherein the reporting interval is a time interval between sequential reporting of data captured by the machine type communication device, when the machine type communication device is a device of the customer for which the modification of the reporting interval is provided; identifying, by the processor, a reporting interval for the machine type communication device when the modification of the reporting interval of the machine type communication device is to be performed; and sending, by the processor, the reporting interval that is identified to the machine type communication device in a message.
