System, apparatus and method for associating an anticipated success indication with data delivery
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- determining, by a processor, to provide to a network element one or more attributes of a device; and
receiving an anticipated success indication comprising an indication of a likelihood of success for at least one of transferring content to the device and rendering software in the device, wherein the anticipated success indication is based at least in part on one or more of the attributes and one or more historical success rates for transferring content and/or rendering software for other devices having one or more attributes similar to corresponding attributes of the device.

Abstract
Systems, apparatuses and methods for determining success rates for the transfer and/or utilization of transmitted applications or other communicated services. An intermediary device specifies one or more device attributes of a target device, which are received at a server. The server determines an anticipated success rate for successfully transferring the requested content to the device and/or utilizing the content at the target device, and transfers an indication of the anticipated success rate to the intermediary device. The anticipated success rate indication is received at the intermediary device, which then determines whether the received anticipated success rate indication meets threshold criteria. If so, the intermediary device notifies the server to initiate the transfer of the content from the server to the target device if the threshold criteria is met.

9. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a processor of a network element, one or more attributes of a device; facilitating, by the processor, a determination of an anticipated success indication comprising an indication of a likelihood of success for at least one of transferring content to the device and rendering software in the device, wherein the anticipated success indication is based at least in part on one or more of the attributes and one or more historical success rates for transferring content and/or rendering software for other devices having one or more attributes similar to corresponding attributes of the device; and determining to transmit the anticipated success indication to the device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
