Patent Images
1. A service plan optimizer, comprising:
- a storage device to store usage data for a communication device;
a processor;
an optimizer engine executed by the processor to compare a current service plan for the communication device with available service plans based on the stored usage data, and to form a recommendation based on the comparison;
a first user interface to display the recommendation and to receive a user request to modify the current service plan to a recommended service plan based on the recommendation; and
a second user interface to report on how often each of the available service plans is recommended and how often each option is recommended and to report on user requests to modify the current service plan to a recommended service plan, service plan costs for users that use the service plan optimizer, and user retention rates for users that use the service plan optimizer.

Abstract
A service plan optimizer is provided. The service plan optimizer includes a storage device, a processor, an optimizer engine, and a user interface. The storage device stores usage data for a communication device. The optimizer engine is executed by the processor to compare a current service plan for the communication device with available service plans based on the stored usage data. The optimizer engine is also executed by the processor to form a recommendation based on the comparison. The user interface displays the recommendation.

13. A computer implemented method for a service plan optimizer, comprising:
-
storing usage data for a communication device; displaying the usage data; selecting at least a portion of the usage data based on a user input; comparing a current service plan for the communication device with available service plans based on the selected usage data; forming a recommendation based on the comparison; displaying the recommendation; modifying the current service plan to a recommended service plan based on a user request; reporting on how often each of the available service plans is recommended and how often each option is recommended; and reporting on user requests to modify the current service plan to a recommended service plan, service plan costs for users that use the service plan optimizer, and user retention rates for users that use the service plan optimizer. - View Dependent Claims (14)

15. A service plan optimizer, comprising:
-
a storage device to store usage data for a group of communication devices; a first user interface to display the usage data and to select at least a portion of the usage data based on a user input; a processor; an optimizer engine executed by the processor to compare a current service plan for the group of communication devices with available service plans based on the selected usage data, and to form a recommendation based on the comparison; and a second user interface to report on how often each of the available service plans is recommended and how often each option is recommended and to report on user requests to modify the current service plan to a recommended service plan, service plan costs for users that use the service plan optimizer, and user retention rates for users that use the service plan optimizer; wherein the first user interface is further configured to display the recommendation and to receive a user request to modify the current service plan to a recommended service plan based on the recommendation. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
