Method and apparatus for application costing based on client hardware
First Claim
1. A method for determining hardware requirements of one or more services for a terminal apparatus, which method is performed by at least one of a processor and a computer program product, which method comprises:
- receiving a message at the terminal apparatus comprising an indication of one or more hardware requirements associated with one or more services;
determining one or more hardware attributes associated with the terminal apparatus related to the one or more hardware requirements;
evaluating whether the one or more hardware attributes satisfy the one or more hardware requirements and, if so, receiving one or more services at the terminal apparatus via a web based portal;
restricting access to one or more of the services upon a determination that the one or more hardware attributes do not satisfy the hardware requirements of the respective service; and
overriding the restriction of access to one or more of the services despite the determination that the one or more hardware attributes do not satisfy the hardware requirements of the respective service.
