Abstract
Abstract A system and method for displaying an interactive screen, such as an end-user license agreement or verification form, on the graphic display of a wireless device when the wireless device connects to a network server on a wireless network and attempts to access or download software applications and data. The user of the wireless device must then affirmatively interact with the interactive screen in order to access or download a software application or data from the network server. The interactive screen can be transmitted from the network server where the wireless device seeks to access or download an application or data, or can be transmitted from a separate server to the wireless device. The records of the wireless device-server interactions can be stored on a network server or other data stores on the wireless network.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
214 words
A system for displaying an interactive screen on the graphic display of a wireless device communicating with network server prior to download of data to the wireless device, the system comprising: one or more user-interactive wireless devices, each wireless device including a computer platform and a graphic display thereon, and each wireless device in selective communication to a wireless network; and one or more network servers in selective communication to the wireless network, and each network server selectively in communication with the one or more wireless devices and selectively downloading applications and data to wireless devices thereto, wherein, upon a wireless device attempting to download data from a network server across the wireless network, the system transmitting an interactive screen to the computer platform of the wireless device across the wireless network prior to downloading the data to the wireless device, and the wireless device displaying the interactive screen on the graphic display thereof, wherein the interactive screen is transmitted to the wireless device from a first network server that the wireless device attempted to download data from, wherein upon a wireless device attempting to download data from a first network server across the wireless network, the interactive screen is transmitted to the wireless device from a second network server across the wireless network.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
214 words
A system for displaying an interactive screen on the graphic display of a wireless device communicating with network server prior to download of data to the wireless device, the system comprising: one or more user-interactive wireless devices, each wireless device including a computer platform and a graphic display thereon, and each wireless device in selective communication to a wireless network; and one or more network servers in selective communication to the wireless network, and each network server selectively in communication with the one or more wireless devices and selectively downloading applications and data to wireless devices thereto, wherein, upon a wireless device attempting to download data from a network server across the wireless network, the system transmitting an interactive screen to the computer platform of the wireless device across the wireless network prior to downloading the data to the wireless device, and the wireless device displaying the interactive screen on the graphic display thereof, wherein the interactive screen is transmitted to the wireless device from a first network server that the wireless device attempted to download data from, wherein upon a wireless device attempting to download data from a first network server across the wireless network, the interactive screen is transmitted to the wireless device from a second network server across the wireless network.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
78 words
The system of claim 1 , wherein, upon the user of the wireless device interacting with the interactive screen displayed on the graphic screen of the wireless device, the wireless device sending a signal to the second network server indicating the interaction, the second network server sending a signal to the first network server indicating the interaction at the wireless device, and the first network server downloading the requested data to the computer platform of the wireless device.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
92 words
The system of claim 1 , wherein the interactive screen allows user input of data at the wireless device, and upon the user of the wireless device inputting data on the interactive screen displayed on the graphic screen of the wireless device, the wireless device sending the input data to the second network server, the second network server sending a signal to the first network server indicating the input of data at the wireless device, and the first network server downloading the requested data to the computer platform of the wireless device.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
158 words
A method for displaying an interactive screen on the graphic display of a user-interactive wireless devices including a computer platform, the wireless device selectively communicating with a network server and downloading applications and data therefrom, the method comprising: attempting to download data to the wireless device from the network server across the wireless network; transmitting a interactive screen to the computer platform of the wireless device across the wireless network prior to downloading the data to the wireless device; and displaying the interactive screen on the graphic display of the wireless device, wherein attempting to download data to the wireless device from the network server across the wireless network includes attempting to download data to the wireless device from a first network server across the wireless network, wherein, transmitting an interactive screen to the wireless device across the wireless network includes transmitting an interactive screen to the wireless device from a second network server across the wireless network.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
158 words
A method for displaying an interactive screen on the graphic display of a user-interactive wireless devices including a computer platform, the wireless device selectively communicating with a network server and downloading applications and data therefrom, the method comprising: attempting to download data to the wireless device from the network server across the wireless network; transmitting a interactive screen to the computer platform of the wireless device across the wireless network prior to downloading the data to the wireless device; and displaying the interactive screen on the graphic display of the wireless device, wherein attempting to download data to the wireless device from the network server across the wireless network includes attempting to download data to the wireless device from a first network server across the wireless network, wherein, transmitting an interactive screen to the wireless device across the wireless network includes transmitting an interactive screen to the wireless device from a second network server across the wireless network.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
74 words
The method of claim 4 , further comprising: interacting with the interactive screen displayed on the graphic screen of the wireless device; sending a signal from the wireless device to the second network server indicating the interaction; sending a signal from the second server to the first network server indicating the interaction at the wireless device; and downloading the requested data from the first network server to the computer platform of the wireless device.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
90 words
The method of claim 4 , wherein the interactive screen allows user input of data at the wireless device, and further comprising: inputting data on the interactive screen displayed on the graphic screen of the wireless device; sending the input data from the wireless device to the second network server; sending a signal from the second network server to the first network server indicating the input of data at the wireless device; and downloading the requested data from the first network server to the computer platform of the wireless device.
