Abstract

A method and system for response authorization. In one embodiment, authorization data and response data may be received over a paging network on a user device. The authorization data may be compared against a device identifier of the user device. A response indicated by the response data may be triggered on the user device based on a comparison of the authorization data to the device identifier.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

accessing authorization data, response data and paging data;

prioritizing the response data and the authorization data above the paging data for transmission;

creating transmission data from the authorization data, response data and paging data according to prioritization; and

sending the transmission data over a paging network.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the creating of the transmission data comprises:

reducing a packet size for the transmission data; and

creating the transmission data of the packet size from the authorization data, response data and paging data according to prioritization.

3. A method comprising:

receiving authorization data and response data over a paging network on a user device;

comparing the authorization data against a device identifier of the user device; and

triggering a response indicated by the response data on the user device based on a result of the comparing.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the user device is a promotional device.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein the response is an electronic coupon, an audible message, a multimedia message, a promotional code, or combinations thereof.

6. A method comprising:

receiving an addressable code over a paging network on a user device, the addressable code including a global identifier and a unique identifier;

comparing the addressable code against stored data; and

triggering a response to the authorization data on a user device based on the comparing of the addressable code.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

comparing the unique identifier against the stored data,

wherein the triggering of the response is based on the comparing of the addressable code and the unique identifier.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein the stored data is received over the paging network prior to receiving the authorization data.

9. The method of claim 6, wherein the stored data is received over a different network prior to receiving the authorization data.

10. The method of claim 6, wherein the stored data includes a tiered set of identifiers and the comparing comprises:

comparing the addressable code against the tiered set of identifiers to identify a particular identifier,

wherein the triggering of the response to the authorization data on the user device is based on the particular identifier.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the paging network is a one-way paging network.

12. A method comprising:

receiving gaming data over a paging network on a user device;

storing the gaming data on the user device;

receiving response data on the user device during a presentation of programming material; and

triggering a response using the gaming data on the device based on the received response data, the response being synchronized with the programming material.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the response data is received over the paging network.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein the response data is modulated within the programming material.

15. A machine-readable medium comprising instructions, which when implemented by one or more processors perform the following operations:

receive an addressable code over a paging network on a user device, the addressable code including a global identifier and a unique identifier;

compare the addressable code against stored data; and

trigger a response to the authorization data on a user device based on a comparison of the addressable code.

16. The machine-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the paging network is a one-way paging network.

17. The machine-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the user device is a promotional device.

18. A system comprising:

a data access module to access authorization data, response data and paging data;

a prioritization module to prioritize the response data and the authorization data above the paging data for transmission;

a transmission creation module to create transmission data from the authorization data, response data and paging data according to prioritization; and

a sending module to send the transmission data over a paging network.

19. The system of claim 18, further comprising:

a reduction module to reduce a packet size for the transmission data created by the transmission creation module.
