20130211940 | Metered and Conditional Access Control - Various methods, systems, and apparatuses can be used to perform metered and conditional access control. In some implementations, a metered and conditional access control system can operate to approve, deny, or meter a request from a requesting user device for transactions such as, for example, approval of purchases, requests for bandwidth, access to restricted content, among many others. Once prompted, a granting user device can grant, deny, or meter directly with the requesting user device or another network element. A metered and conditional access control system can also coordinate with a metered conditional access control coordinating device to facilitate conditional access and/or metering. | 08-15-2013 |
