System and method for measuring user behavior and use of mobile equipment
First Claim
1. A parameter measurement system, for measuring parameters accessible by mobile equipment which communicates over a communication network, the mobile equipment employing multiple functions selectable for use by the user, the system comprising:
- an agent which includes;
(i) measuring means for measuring predetermined parameters of operation of the uses of the mobile equipment by the user;
(ii) means for changing measurement parameters to make parameter measurements appropriate for a detected change of use of the mobile equipment; and
(iii) a transmitter for transmitting measured parameters over the communication network.

Abstract
In a communication network architecture including mobile equipment that employs multiple functions selectable for use by the user, the functions having respective measurable parameters, a service provider monitors the user'"'"'s behavior with, and use of, the mobile equipment. An agent, such as software installed on-board the mobile equipment, measures parameters that are related to the user'"'"'s behavior and use of the mobile equipment, and communicates the measured parameters to the service provider, over the communication network. The agent detects change of such user behavior and use, and accordingly changes parameters to measure and report on.
