Apparatus, System and Method for Modifiable Observational Logic for Mobile Terminal Data Analysis and Distribution
First Claim
1. A method for dynamically altering the collection of observation data produced on a mobile terminal, comprising the steps of:
- configuring the mobile terminal to produce first observation data under at least one first parameter, wherein the first observation data comprises data relating to at least one of (i) a manner of usage and (ii) operating state of the mobile terminal;
determining, from the first observation data, if a specific data characteristic is present; and
configuring the mobile terminal to produce second observation data under at least one second parameter if the specific data characteristic is present, wherein at least one of the second parameter is different from the first parameter.

Abstract
Apparatus, system and method for modifying observational logic for mobile terminal device data analysis. As new data is observed under a first data observation parameter, a determination is made whether temporary settings are enabled to allow a data handling agent/logic to modify observational parameters. Temporary settings may be configured to collect certain data over a predetermined period of time and/or may be disabled on the occurrence of a particular event or status. Once temporary settings are detected, the device opens and applies those settings from observation modification software and collects device data using the temporary setting(s). Once the temporary settings are disabled, the original settings are restored where data is then collected under the original settings until new data is observed or the collection process ends.

8. A method for dynamically altering the collection of observation data received from a mobile terminal, comprising the steps of:
-
providing first software instructions for the mobile terminal for producing first observation data under at least one first parameter, wherein the first observation data comprises data relating to at least one of (i) a manner of usage and (ii) operating state of the mobile terminal, and wherein the first software instructions are configured to determine if a specific data characteristic is present in the first observation data; transmitting second software instructions for the mobile terminal, wherein the second software instructions are configured to alter the mobile terminal to produce second observation data under at least one second parameter if the specific data characteristic is present, wherein at least one of the second parameter is different from the first parameter; and receiving and processing the first and second observation data in a data handling agent. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
