Provisioning based on application and device capability
First Claim
1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- an agent executable by a processor and configured to monitor and send UE configuration and capability information indicating at least one change to the UE,wherein the UE is configured to subsequently receive an offer to download an application provisioned for the UE based on the UE configuration and capability information, wherein the offer is only received if the application is supported by the UE,wherein the application was not supported by the UE before the at least one change,wherein the agent is further configured to send updated UE configuration and capability information, andwherein at least one service previously provisioned for the UE is subsequently un-provisioned if the updated UE configuration and capability information indicates a loss of service rights for the UE.

Abstract
A user equipment (UE) is disclosed comprising an agent configured to monitor and report UE configuration and capability information, wherein the UE is further configured to provide the UE configuration and capability information, and subsequently receive an application based on the configuration and capability information. Also disclosed is a network comprising a provisioning server configured to receive UE configuration and capability information, and subsequently provide an application based on the UE configuration and capability information. Also disclosed is a method comprising providing UE configuration and capability information from a UE, and receiving an application at the UE based on the configuration and capability information. Also disclosed is a method comprising receiving UE configuration and capability information at a provisioning server, and providing an application from the provisioning server based on the UE configuration and capability information.

10. A network component comprising:
-
a provisioning server configured to receive user equipment (UE) configuration and capability information indicating at least one change to a UE, and further configured such that upon determining that the at least one change enables the UE to support an application that was not supported by the UE before the at least one change, the provisioning server sends the UE an offer to download the application; an agent executable by a processor and configured to request the UE configuration and capability information from the UE; and a plurality of deployed service discovery systems that analyze the UE configuration and capability information and provision accordingly a plurality of services, wherein the agent is further configured to receive updated UE configuration and capability information from the UE, wherein the plurality of deployed service discovery systems analyze the updated UE configuration and capability information and unprovision at least one of the previously provisioned services if the updated UE configuration and capability information indicates a loss of service rights for the UE. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method comprising:
-
sending, from an agent on a user equipment (UE), UE configuration and capability information indicating at least one change to the UE; and receiving, at the UE, an offer to download an application provisioned for the UE based on the UE configuration and capability information, wherein the offer is only received if the application is supported by the UE, and wherein the application was not supported by the UE before the at least one change; and sending, from the agent, updated UE configuration and capability information, wherein at least on service previously provisioned for the UE is subsequently un-provisioned if the updated UE configuration and capability information indicates a loss of service rights for the UE. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A method comprising:
-
receiving, at a provisioning server, user equipment (UE) configuration and capability information indicating at least one change to a UE; determining, by the provisioning server, that the at least one change enables the UE to support an application; sending, from the provisioning server, an offer to download the application on the UE, wherein the application was not capable of properly executing on the UE before the at least one change; and provisioning the application based on the UE capability and configuration information before sending the application. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
