1. A system for tracking billable events occurring on wireless devices on a wireless network, comprising:
- one or more wireless devices selectively in communication with other computer devices across a wireless network, each wireless device including an end-user and computer platform further selectively downloading and executing software applications thereupon and accessible by the end-user, the end-user interaction with the wireless device and with other computer devices across the wireless network causing one or more billable events;
at least one server selectively in communication with the one or more wireless devices across the wireless network; and
wherein billable event data for the one or more wireless devices is gathered at the at least one server.

Abstract
A system, method, and computer program for tracking billable events occurring on wireless devices on a wireless network and billing the appropriate parties. The billable events occur from the end-users of the wireless devices selectively communicating with other computer devices across the wireless network and downloading and executing software applications thereupon. The billable event data is ultimately gathered at a server on the wireless network from which billing for the wireless device billable events can be generated.

- 14. A wireless device selectively in communication with other computer devices across a wireless network, the wireless device including an end-user and computer platform further selectively downloading and executing software applications thereupon and accessible by the end-user, the end-user interaction with the wireless device and with other computer devices across the wireless network causing one or more billable events, and the wireless device gathering billable event data.
- 22. A billing server for tracking and invoicing billable events occurring on wireless devices on a wireless network, the server selectively in communication with one or more wireless devices across the wireless network where each wireless device includes an end-user and computer platform further selectively downloading and executing software applications thereupon and accessible by the end-user, the end-user interaction with the wireless device and with other computer devices across the wireless network causing one or more billable events, and the server gathering billable event data from the one or more wireless devices.

29. A method for tracking billable events occurring on wireless devices on a wireless network, comprising the steps of:
-
causing one or more billable events to occur through end-user interaction with a wireless device selectively in communication with other computer devices across a wireless network, the wireless device including a computer platform further selectively downloading and executing software applications thereupon and accessible by the end-user;
creating billable event data based upon the one or more billable events; and
gathering the billable event data with at least one server on the wireless network. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)

43. A method for tracking billable events occurring on wireless devices on a wireless network, comprising the steps of:
-
a billable event causation step at a wireless device on a wireless network;
a data creation step of billable event data based upon the one or more billable events; and
a data gathering step of the billable event data that occurs at an at least one server on the wireless network.

44. A computer program that, when executed by a computer device on a wireless network, records billable events occurring on wireless communication devices on a wireless network through performing the steps of:
-
gathering data from one or more wireless communication devices for billable events that occur through end-user interaction with the wireless communication device, the wireless communication device selectively in communication with other computer devices across the wireless network and selectively downloading and executing software applications thereupon; and
creating billing data for the one or more wireless communication devices based upon the one or more billable events that occur at the respective wireless devices. - View Dependent Claims (45, 46, 47, 48, 49)
