The patent US12045375B2 describes a system designed to track the usage of a software application on a remote device without requiring direct network connectivity. The system comprises memory, wireless communication circuitry, and a processor. The processor is responsible for receiving activation requests from a separate computing device, which include a session code generated by the remote device. It generates an activation token that incorporates this session code and transmits it back to the computing device for relaying to the remote device. This token is specifically configured to activate at least one feature of the software application. Additionally, the system stores an indication of the session's start time in memory, allowing for tracking of the feature's usage.

Further claims detail the processor's capabilities, including receiving deactivation tokens to indicate when a feature has been disabled and storing this information for usage duration calculations. The system can also determine whether the remote device is authorized to use specific features based on the session code's uniqueness and prior usage. Notably, the remote device may not have a real-time clock, which is addressed by the system's design. The device itself is equipped to generate session codes, request feature activation, and manage the enabling and disabling of features based on the activation tokens received. This innovative approach allows for effective tracking of software application usage in scenarios where direct connectivity is not feasible.
