[1a] A non-transitory computerreadable storage medium storing 

machine-executable instructions 

that, when executed by one or 

more processors of a wireless enduser device, cause the one or more 

processors to:

The Accused Instrumentalities include “A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing machineexecutable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless end-user device, cause the 

one or more processors to.” 

For example, T-Mobile sells and uses devices described by T-Mobile’s website below (e.g., devices made by 

Samsung, Apple, Motorola, Google, Nokia, etc.). These devices constitute a wireless end-user device as described in claim 1. See, e.g. https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones

the service usage activity being associated with a first software component of a plurality of software 

components on the wireless enduser device, the service usage activity comprising one or more prospective or successful 

communications over a wireless 

network;

The Accused Instrumentalities “identify a service usage activity of the wireless end-user device, the service 

usage activity being associated with a first software component of a plurality of software components on the 

wireless end-user device, the service usage activity comprising one or more prospective or successful communications over a wireless network.” 

For example, Samsung’s “Data Saver,” or “Power Saver,” “Doze Mode,” “App Standby,” “Adaptive Battery,” 

and/or “JobScheduler” features apply to at least some service usage activities associated with a software component comprising prospective or successful communications over a wireless network.

usage activity comprises a background activity;

The Accused Instrumentalities “determine whether the service usage activity comprises a background activity.” 

For example, Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets utilize Data Saver mode through which the device determines 

whether the service usage activity comprises background or foreground activity. See, e.g., https://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/202402/20240210100814271/SAM_S711_EN_UG_OS14_011924_FINAL.pdf

a policy based on a user input obtained through a user interface of 

the wireless end-user device or

is the background activity, the policy at least for controlling the service usage activity;

The Accused Instrumentalities “determine at least an aspect of a policy based on a user input obtained through 

a user interface of the wireless end-user device or based on information from a network element, the policy to 

be applied if the service usage activity is the background activity, the policy at least for controlling the service 

usage activity.”

For example, Samsung devices include an interface which allow users to specify multiple aspects of policies 

based on user input in various settings (e.g., enabling/disabling Data Saver, Power Saver, Adaptive Battery 

features, as well as enabling/disabling policies for specific applications) for controlling service usage activities. 

See, e.g., https://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/202402/20240210100814271/SAM_S711_EN_UG_OS14_011924_FINAL.pdf

The Accused Instrumentalities comprise “and if it is determined that the service usage activity is the background activity, apply the policy.” 

For example, Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets utilize Data Saver which applies the policy to background 

service usage activity. See, e.g., https://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/202402/20240210100814271/SAM_S711_EN_UG_OS14_011924_FINAL.pdf
