Abstract

A system for billing a telecom charge to a telecom service subscriber by each period is provided to increase the number of telecom service subscribers of each level, and decrease an amount billing to the present subscribers owing to new subscribers by billing the telecom charge, which is discriminated into each level according to increase of new subscribers, to each subscriber. A subscriber information checker(100) checks over the total number of telecom service subscribers until a previous period by linking with a storage medium(135) on the network. A periodic target subscription increase rate information calculator(105) calculates a target subscription increase rate of the current period by comparing the target number of new subscribers of the current period with the total number of telecom service subscribers until the previous period. A periodic subscriber telecom charge discount rate information calculator(110) calculates a telecom charge discount rate corresponding to the target subscription increase rate of the current period. A telecom charge billing part(115) bills a telecom charge to the subscriber by applying the calculated telecom charge discount rate.

Correspondingly, the discount rate of the communication fee that satisfies the condition of increasing sales is summarized as follows regardless of the method of charging the communication fee.

According to the present invention, the communication subscriber communication charge charging means 115 applies the communication rate discount rate calculated as described above to apply the calculated communication rate discount rate corresponding to the target number of new communication service subscriptions of the current session. Computing a communication fee within a range that satisfies the condition that the total sales decrease due to the communication rate discount (or the increase in sales) to the communication service subscribers, and calculates a predetermined billing server 135 provided in the wireless network Characterized by billing through.

6 is a diagram illustrating a communication communication billing method of a communication service subscriber per session according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, a predetermined subscriber information storage medium 130 provided on a communication network corresponding to the communication service is provided by the subscriber information checking means 100 provided in the communication service billing system for each session. (Or the storage medium 130 operating means) confirms the total number of subscribers of the communication service up to the last session (600), and the target subscription increase rate information calculating means 105 for each session is the communication of the current session. The target subscription increase rate of the current session is calculated based on the comparison of the target new subscription target quantity and the total number of subscribers of the communication service up to the last session confirmed through the information checking means (605), and the subscriber communication rate discount rate information for each session is calculated. The increase in the total sales through the communication fee billing at each session in the means 110 exceeds the decrease in total sales due to the discount of the communication fee per session. Through the following equation and calculates a predetermined communication charge discount rate corresponding to the target increasing rate of the subscription session geumbeon 610.

If the communication rate discount rate is calculated (615), the communication subscriber communication rate charging means 115 applies the calculated communication rate discount rate through a predetermined charging server 135, the new subscription service target of the current session The communication fee of the communication service subscriber corresponding to the quantity is charged (620).

According to the present invention, as the number of subscribers increases, the communication fee charged per subscriber is differentiated step by step, which has the advantage of increasing the number of subscribers in stages. There is an advantage of reducing the amount of money, and also has the advantage of reducing the departure of the existing subscribers from the wireless network due to such a decrease in amount.
