In general, several domestic carriers have a number of communication plans. If you choose a good rate among these numerous communication plans, you can reduce the communication fee, but you do not know all about more than 100 plans and additional services.

In addition, these various plans offer a free call, discounts on call charges according to specific conditions, and the discount options are similar for each plan, making it difficult for customers to choose the plan and the complexity of the plan, making it difficult for consumers to know the exact contents of the plan. Since it is not possible to know one by one, the mobile terminal user has difficulty in selecting a plan suitable for his usage pattern.

In order to correct these problems, in order to provide the plan information to the mobile terminal user, provide the optimal plan information providing menu on the mobile carrier's homepage, or the agent of the customer center provides the most suitable for the customer through one-on-one consultation with the customer. We will guide you through the plan information. However, the process is too complicated and too low for the user to go through such a process, and there are many disadvantages in terms of time and cost. In addition, it is virtually impossible for customers to be aware of updated plan information at all times, so even if a new plan is more favorable to them, they often lose money by using the existing plan without knowing it.

In order to solve the above problems, the operator recommends the optimal rate plan suitable for the user's call tendency and pattern to the user of the mobile communication terminal, so that the rate can be changed at any time in real time or a period set by the user. An object of the present invention is to provide a method and system for providing an optimal plan service to a user of a mobile communication terminal which can be saved.

The present invention provides a method of providing an optimal plan service to a user of a mobile communication terminal including a call time and a desired rate input, a recommendation fee, a preference, or a content of a help.

The present invention is a method for reducing a user's communication fee so as to attract customers of other mobile communication companies by recommending a plan suitable for the user by analyzing a call pattern of the mobile communication subscriber.

This is basically a method using "free call forwarding rate plus". For example, if you use 875 minutes per month, if you use 875 minutes for 1 month while using 1600 minutes plan (86,000 won per month), the remaining 725 minutes If you apply for the 150-minute plan (26,000 won per month) next month, you can use 875 minutes for 56,000 won. Then, from the customer's point of view, you can use 875 minutes at the same rate as the 500-minute plan (56,000 won per month), and you will benefit from 375 minutes (44,520 won per month).

Through such a cost reduction effect, communication can be used at an optimal communication rate.

In this regard, Table 1 shows the entire chart of the free call forwarding fee plus utilization, which can be compared with other companies' rate plans through the rate reduction graphs shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.
