Abstract

Adaptive ambient services are provided. In some embodiments, an adaptive ambient service includes providing an ambient service profile. In some embodiments, an ambient service includes implementing an ambient service profile for assisting control of the communications device use of an ambient service on a wireless network, in which the ambient service profile includes a plurality of service policy settings, and in which the ambient service profile is associated with an ambient service plan that provides for initial access to the ambient service with limited service capabilities prior to activation of a new service plan; monitoring use of the ambient service based on the ambient service profile; and adapting the ambient service profile based on the monitored use of the ambient service.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a processor of a communications device configured to;

implement an ambient service profile for assisting control of the communications device use of an ambient service on a wireless network, wherein the ambient service profile includes a plurality of service policy settings, and wherein the ambient service profile is associated with an ambient service plan that provides for initial access to the ambient service with limited service capabilities prior to activation of a new service plan;

monitor use of the ambient service based on the ambient service profile; and

adapt the ambient service profile based on the monitored use of the ambient service;

a memory of the communications device coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
