First Claim
1. A computerized method for managing subscribed data plan of a communication device, the data plan comprising a predetermined amount of Internet traffic within a limited time period, the method comprising:
- setting an end date of the limited time period for the subscribed data plan of the communication device, and determining a time for querying residual data of the subscribed data plan according to the end date;
querying the residual data of the subscribed data plan of the communication device when the determined time is reached, and determining whether the residual data of the subscribed data plan is greater than a predetermined value;
detecting which installed applications are to be updated of the communication device, when the residual data of the subscribed data plan is greater than the predetermined value; and
updating one or more of the detected applications using the residual data of the subscribed data plan.

Abstract
A method for managing subscribed data plan of a communication device, the data plan includes a predetermined amount of Internet traffic for connecting the Internet. An end date of the subscribed data plan is set, and a time for querying residual data of the subscribed data plan is determined according to the end date. The residual data of the subscribed data plan is queried when the determined time is reached. Applications, of the communication device, which are to be updated are detected, and one or more of the detected applications are updated using the residual data of the subscribed data plan of the communication device.
