Data pertaining to the devices an operator supports (e.g. device manufacturer and model, display characteristics and KB of memory) is received and processed by CCE contentMANAGER. Each piece of content is mapped to the devices on which it operates, and each subscriber is associated with one or more devices. This ensures subscribers are only presented with content that will execute properly on their device be a mobile, personal computer or a set-top-box...
Content activation involves the association of a subscriber with one or more subscriber classes - which in turn activates any price-plan packages previously associated with the subscriber class during price plan packaging. Activation requests may be received from back-office systems or self-subscription portals. CCE contentMANAGER also manages the customer account hierarchy including child accounts for kids and other family members. It manages the subscriber's individual profile for preferences, opt-ins (Sci-Fi Fan, home building, ads, special promotions, etc.), pin resets, configuring spending limits, etc. "
