METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING ACCESS PLANS
First Claim
1. A server comprising:
- a memory storing computer instructions; and
a controller circuit coupled to the memory, wherein the controller circuit, responsive to executing the computer instructions, performs operations comprising;
wirelessly receiving adjustment information from a mobile communication device, wherein the adjustment information is associated with an adjustment to an access plan to provide a display device with wireless access to media services via the mobile communication device, wherein the access plan defines rules for the mobile communication device to access the media services;
wirelessly receiving a request for video content from the mobile communication device;
generating multiple versions of the video content, wherein a first version of the multiple versions has more error correction than a second version of the multiple versions;
wirelessly transmitting the second version to the mobile communication device for presentation on the display device according to the adjustment to the access plan;
monitoring for an undesired condition associated with the presentation of the second version on the display device; and
transmitting the first version to the mobile communication device for presentation on the display device and ceasing transmitting the second version responsive to detection of the undesired condition.
