摘要:
Methods and systems for converting a call generated from an advertisement. One embodiment includes: establishing a real time communication connection between a first entity and a second entity via a communication reference embedded in an advertisement that is presented on behalf of the second entity; billing the second entity for the advertisement in response to the communication connection being established via the communication reference; monitoring the communication connection between the first entity and the second entity to detect a pre-defined indication; and charging the first entity, on behalf of the second entity, for communications with the second entity over the communication connection in response to a detected occurrence of the pre-defined indication.

Charging data for a call in an IP telecommunications network is generated by establishing a direct SIP connection between a SIP-AS and an MGCF; defining in the SIP-AS service related data corresponding to the call; submitting the defined service related data in SIP signalling via the established direct SIP connection between the SIP-AS and the MGCF; and generating in the MGCF the charging data, based on the submitted service related data.

Telephone numbering comprising an NPA code associated with an NXX code that is associated with a rate center identifier is received at a dial plan instruction writer. Local call data relative to a home rate center is also received. The local call data determine whether a call originating in the home rate center is charged as local call, a toll call, or a long distance call. Routing rules to be applied to a called telephone number originating from the home rate center are determined based on the telephone numbering data and the local call data. Instructions executable by the telephone switch that implement the routing rules are generated.

A call system 5 includes a setup server 1 provided on a communication network which controls communication between a calling terminal 2 and a called terminal 3 and a charging server 4 which charges the calling terminal 2. The setup server 1 includes a setup unit 21 which sets advertisement-related CAT media in a signal addressed to the calling terminal 2 during a call between the calling terminal 2 and the called terminal 3 and a measurement unit 22 which measures a start time and an end time of the setting of the CAT media in the signal addressed to the calling terminal 2. The calling terminal 2 includes a play unit which plays the CAT media. The charging server 4 includes a charge unit which charges the calling terminal 2 on the basis of the measured times.

The present invention provides a solution to prevent customers from misusing of telecommunication services and to enable measures to charge customers for actual used services in case of misuse. The present invention also provides a solution to offer personalized content services. Hereto a user identity, a user equipment Identity and/or an actual used service type are analyzed and the service tariff class is changed based on the analysis.
摘要:
A method for the location-dependent and/or distance-dependent charging of telecommunication services in a mobile communication network, where the network includes several radio cells, each of which covers a certain service area and is supplied with radio signals by at least one associated base transceiver station. An individual, guaranteed subscriber area describing an area around a predefined geographical location is allocated to a subscriber. An actual subscriber area is formed with which all radio cells or parts of radio cells whose service area overlaps with the guaranteed subscriber area are associated. Telecommunication services used are charged at a special rate when the subscriber is located in the actual subscriber area.

The present invention relates to a method of providing a location specific service in a digital cellular communication network using unstructured supplementary service data. In the method, the service data is sent to a network node of said network by at least one mobile station, and the service is dependent of location information of said at least one mobile station. Said method comprises a step of including location information in said service data by said network node. The invention is further related to a network node for use with a method as described here.
摘要:
Utilization of resources used to provide a service, and/or costs associated with providing system resources for a service, are tracked in a system where the available resources vary depending on a variety of conditions including resource utilization by other users. The methods are well suited for systems such as mobile communications systems, where the amount of resources and/or costs to a system of providing a service are dynamic and can change on a relatively rapid time scale. Resource unitization is tracked on a per subscriber basis. Service charges can be determined as a function of both the amount of resources consumed and the amount of data delivered, with the amount of resources being used to deliver a fixed amount of data units varying as a function of environmental and/or other conditions. Service charges are sometimes determined as a function of the impact of providing the service to a first user on other system users.

The present invention is a pre-paid calling card system for companies that utilize 900 lines. The cards are graphically designed to imbibe the nature of the particular 900 number. The cards are targeted for specific 900 numbers and are easily be marketed along side products that are similar to the 900 line. The cards provide a method for a caller to know exactly the amount spent on calls in advance as they are pre-paid. The present invention allows callers to dial 900 numbers from any location with a phone without worries of surcharges or reverse billing. The callers are assured anonymity in their calls due to the nature of pre-paid calling cards.
摘要:
Charging details are produced for customers in response to their use of telecommunications services. Details of call items for a customer are compiled and a plurality of call types (73, 75, 77) are defined. Each call item is identified as belonging to one of these call types and a notional charge is calculated for each item. Notional charges for each item are accumulated and call categories are defined, wherein at least one of said call categories has a discount rate associated therewith. Accumulated call type values are then mapped onto category accumulators in response to customer reference data.
