First Claim
1. A method for implementing a policy for provisioning a dynamic content to a limited resource device through an integrated platform, the method comprising:
- providing the policy for provisioning;
implementing the policy according to at least one rule;
sending an event regarding the dynamic content to the integrated platform;
analyzing said event according to said at least one rule by the integrated platform; and
interacting with the limited resource device according to said analyzing said event.

Abstract
A system and a method for charging for directed provisioning and using of dynamic content to limited resource devices, through an integrated platform which handles all aspects of aggregation and management of such dynamic content. The integrated platform features a billing system for performing billing actions. The billing system of the present invention interacts with other components of the integrated platform in order to be able to determine the charge for particular triggering events, such as downloading dynamic content, and/or events which are actually triggered by the application itself. The charge is preferably determined according to one of a plurality of rules, as applied by a rules engine of the billing system. These rules are part of a charging policy, which may optionally be determined by the content provider.

16. A system for management of provisioning and using a dynamic content, the system comprising:
-
(a) a limited resource device for receiving and executing the dynamic content;
(b) a provisioning platform for providing the dynamic content;
(c) a rule engine for implementing at least one policy according to a plurality of rules, wherein said provisioning platform provides the dynamic content according to said implemented policy; and
(d) an messaging system for communicating between said limited resource device, said provisioning platform and said rule engine. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A method for implementing a policy for provisioning an item of content to a subscriber device, the method comprising:
providing the policy for provisioning;
implementing the policy according to at least one rule, wherein said at least one rule is structured according to an ECA (event-condition-action) model, such that each rule is triggered by an event;
providing a rule engine for evaluating said at least one rule, such that said rule engine evaluates a condition to determine whether an action should be executed;
requesting the item of content by the subscriber device;
sending said event regarding the item of content to said rule engine;
analyzing said event according to said at least one rule by said rule engine; and
interacting with the subscriber device according to said analyzing of said event. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
