APPLICATION DOWNLOAD NOTIFICATION IN HIERARCHICAL GROUPS OF CONSUMER USERS OF MOBILE DEVICES
First Claim
1. A notification system for a hierarchical group of consumer users of mobile devices in communication with a cellular telecommunications network, comprising:
- a security platform in a core of a cellular telecommunications network; and
a secure consumer platform storing;
an indication of a Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number (MSISDN) for a subscription of each user of the group registered to the cellular telecommunications network;
a hierarchical relation between the MSISDNs of one or more parent users of the group of users and the MSISDNs of one or more child users of the group of users; and
a security profile for the or each child user of the group of users including an indication of an application download notification flag;
wherein the secure consumer platform is configured to signal changes in application download notification flag settings for users to the security platform keyed by MSISDN; and
wherein the security platform is configured, for MSISDNs for which an application download notification flag is received;
to detect application downloads in data traffic in the core network for said MSISDNs; and
to cause to be sent to the or each parent user of the MSISDN a notification of the application downloaded to the MSISDN over the cellular telecommunications network.

Abstract
A notification system for a hierarchical group of consumer users of mobile devices in communication with a cellular telecommunications network is described in the application. The notification system comprises a security platform in a core of a cellular telecommunications network, and a secure consumer platform. The secure consumer platform stores: an indication of a Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number (MSISDN) for a subscription of each user of the group registered to the cellular telecommunications network; a hierarchical relation between the MSISDNs of one or more parent users of the group of users and the MSISDNs of one or more child users of the group of users; and a security profile for the or each child user of the group of users including an indication of an application download notification flag. The secure consumer platform is configured to signal changes in application download notification flag settings for users to the security platform keyed by MSISDN. The security platform is configured, for MSISDNs for which an application download notification flag is received: to detect application downloads in data traffic in the core network for said MSISDNs; and to cause to be sent to the or each parent user of the MSISDN a notification of the application downloaded to the MSISDN over the cellular telecommunications network.

11. An electronic device for use by a parent user of a hierarchical group of consumer users of mobile devices in communication with a cellular telecommunications network, comprising secure consumer client software configuring the electronic device:
-
to provide a user interface to the parent user of the electronic device by which the parent user can indicate one or more MSISDNs of child users of the group of consumer users, and set application download notification flags and blocked download notification flags for those child users; and to send to the secure consumer platform one or more datagrams indicating one or more MSISDNs of child users of the group of consumer users, and the application download notification flags and blocked download notification flags set for those child users.

12. A notification method for a hierarchical group of consumer users of mobile devices in communication with a cellular telecommunications network, comprising:
-
storing, at a secure consumer platform; an indication of a Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number (MSISDN) for a subscription of each user of the group registered to the cellular telecommunications network; a hierarchical relation between the MSISDNs of one or more parent users of the group of users and the MSISDNs of one or more child users of the group of users; and a security profile for the or each child user of the group of users including an indication of an application download notification flag; the secure consumer platform signalling changes in application download notification flag settings for users to a security platform in a core of a cellular telecommunications network keyed by MSISDN; and the security platform, for MSISDNs for which an application download notification flag is received; detecting application downloads in data traffic in the core network for said MSISDNs; and causing to be sent to the or each parent user of the MSISDN a notification of the application downloaded to the MSISDN over the cellular telecommunications network.
