Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0201319A2] A wireless communication device (102) monitors usage of certain features by a user of the device (202). If a feature is underutilized (204), a user may elect to have the feature deleted from memory (206), freeing the memory space for additional features (208). As an alternative to monitoring usage of certain features of a device, a communication system notifies a user that a feature will be deleted from the device (216). The device then deletes the feature, freeing the memory space for additional features (208). When a new feature is available for the wireless communication device, a message is broadcast to the device notifying users of the availability of the feature (304). If the user desires the new feature, the software code associated with the feature is downloaded to the communication device over the wireless interface (314). The device is then reconfigured to include the new feature for execution (316).
