Deferred maintenance revenue consists of prepaid fees received for post-contract customer support for our products, including telephone support and the right to receive unspecified upgrades/enhancements on a when-and-if-available basis. Unearned revenue includes upfront fees for setup and implementation activities related to hosted offerings; certain software arrangements for which we do not have fair value of post-contract customer support, resulting in ratable revenue recognition for the entire arrangement on a straight-line basis; and fees in excess of estimated earnings on percentage-of-completion service contracts.

The increase in unearned revenue is primarily driven by the timing of a large annual prepayment from a Healthcare customer that will be amortized over the one year service period, as well as an increase in Mobile deferred revenue related to growth in our automotive connected services for which the revenue recognition period extends over the service period.
