Method and system for customizing a user interface of a mobile device

Abstract

A method and system for coordinating a specific subscribed service on a mobile communication device are provided. In accordance with one embodiment, this is provided a method for coordinating a specific subscribed service on a mobile communication device, comprising: registering the mobile communication device with a node; transmitting identification information to the node, the identification information including an identifier of a device, an identifier of a vendor, an identifier of a user, and an identifier of a subscribed service; receiving information from the node in response to the transmitting; and enabling the specific subscribed service in accordance with the received information.

1 . A method for customizing a user interface of a mobile device that has previously received first user interface customization information and customized the user interface based on the first user interface customization information, the method comprising:
 receiving unsolicited second user interface customization information at the mobile device, the second user interface customization information associated with previously transmitted identification information;   customizing the user interface of the mobile device based on the second user interface customization information, thereby forming a second customized user interface; and   establishing the second customized user interface as an updated customized user interface configuration.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the previously transmitted identification information comprises a vendor identification. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the previously transmitted identification information comprises a device identification. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the previously transmitted identification information comprises subscriber identity information. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the previously transmitted identification information comprises class of service information. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the unsolicited second user interface customization information comprises a user interface theme file. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the receiving the unsolicited second user interface customization information comprises receiving the unsolicited second user interface customization information over the air. 
     
     
         8 . A mobile computing device that has previously received first user interface customization information and customized the user interface based on the first user interface customization information, the mobile computing device comprising:
 a display for rendering a user interface, the user interface having visual elements displayed in accordance with a user interface customization;   a communication subsystem for effectuating communications;   a memory storing identification information; and   a user interface customization manager adapted to:
 receive unsolicited second user interface customization information, the second user interface customization information associated with previously transmitted identification information; 
 customize the user interface of the mobile computing device based on the second user interface customization information, thereby forming a second customized user interface; and 
 establishing the second customized user interface as an updated customized user interface configuration. 
   
     
     
         9 . A computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when performed by a processor in a mobile computing device that has previously received first user interface customization information and customized the user interface based on the first user interface customization information, cause the processor to:
 receive unsolicited second user interface customization information, the second user interface customization information associated with previously transmitted identification information;   customize the user interface of the mobile computing device based on the second user interface customization information, thereby forming a second customized user interface; and   establishing the second customized user interface as an updated customized user interface configuration.
