Automated user authentication identification for customized converged services
First Claim
1. A method for providing automated user authentication identification for customized converged services, the method comprising:
- receiving an indication of powering on of a mobile computing device;
validating a user of the computing device seeking access to a network through an authentication process;
receiving an indication of a selection of an authentication-required application;
obtaining validated user authentication identification data associated with an identification number of the mobile computing device;
sending validated user authentication identification data to a service provider associated with selected authentication-required application;
allowing access to functionalities associated with services associated with the validated user authentication identification data upon validated user authentication identification data being validated with the service provider;
allowing a communication between billing systems of the service provider and a second service provider;
obtaining service codes associated with services subscribed to by the user; and
allowing access to functionalities associated with services subscribed to by the user.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for providing automated user authentication utilizing available authentication data associated with a computing device. By utilizing a mobile identification number verified during an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) process performed when a mobile computing device is powered on, access to a privileged content or service may be granted, allowing a user to bypass manual entry of user authentication information (user ID and password). Utilizing a verified mobile identification number, service features and functionalities may be communicated between billing systems of a service provider, which may provide for further converged, customized services.
