Description

TRANSMISSION UNIT AND ITS APPLICATION IN ADDITIONAL CREDITING OF SIM CARDS FOR MOBILE TELEPHONES
THE AREA OF TECHNIQUES THE INVENTION RELATES TO
The area of techniques the invention relates to is, generally taken, the area of electronics, and it relates specifically to complex electronic systems allowing electronic payments and non-cash money transactions by way of the fixed or mobile telephony.
According to the international classification of patents (MPK, Intel5), the subject of this invention is classified and designated with the basic classification symbol GOF 19/00, relating to devices actuated by coded cards adapted for issuing or receiving money, and similar, and for delivery of information on such operations to the existing accounts.
Since a coded protection information is used in the unit per this invention, the invention can be designated also with the secondary classification symbol G07F07/10 defining units using objects different from money for actuating systems for sale, lease, and issuing, at simultaneous use of coded signals.
TECHNICAL PROBLEM
The technical problem resolved by the present invention consists in the following: How to design a unit and define the concept of its application so that it can be used for simple, fast and safe additional crediting of SIM cards, with the unit being reliable in operation, of small dimensions, and allowing at the same time additional crediting in all regions covered with the GSM network or fixed telephony.
STATE OF THE ART
According to the present state of the technique, additional crediting of SIM cards (digital cards recording data on the subscriber, that can be of ISO format or micro format) is performed in the usual way by buying cards for additional crediting at one of the selling points of the mobile telephony operator. Such additional crediting cards are of standard manufacture and are sold in different denominations. The very procedure of additional crediting develops by performing certain procedures in a determine sequence, indicated most frequently in the form of instructions on the additional crediting card, and consisting in the following: - Upon purchasing the additional crediting card, the mobile telephone owner scratches the safety strip and reveals the secrete code;
- He calls from his mobile telephone the phone number of the mobile telephony operator to effect the additional crediting;
- He follows the instructions of the voice automate relating to the entering of the secrete code and the procedure of loading the SIM card;
- Upon completed procedure of loading and confirmation by the mobile telephone owner that the procedure has been properly accomplished, the SIM card is additionally credited by the value of the additional crediting card.
Although in mass use over a longer period, this method of additional crediting of SIM cards has a number of deficiencies reflecting in the following:
- Permanent queuing in lines, which means waiting and loosing time, in order to purchase the additional crediting card at stationary selling points;
- Conditions of manufacture and distribution of additional crediting cards to the selling points;
- Increasingly frequent mistakes in secrete codes during the manufacture of cards, because of which there is a number of unusable additional crediting cards in sale, resulting in unpleasant, conflicting situations between the sellers of these cards and owners of mobile telephones;
- The amount of additional crediting of SIM cards is limited by the denominated values of these cards;
- In the case of less mobile or immobile owners of mobile telephones, the purchase of additional crediting cards for them must be performed by a mediator or some other person;
- Recently, forged additional crediting cards also appeared on the market, and these represent a difficult problem in this area.
Because of the all above indicated, it is surprising that in the literature relating to the area of telephony, which is extremely present and in permanent expansion, when operational efficiency of additional crediting of SIM cards is in question, there are no attempts to find out the ways of making it more rational, and there is even almost no information on attempts to overcome this problem.
In the international application of patent P-208/02, the author, Dejan Dragojlovi}, requested protection for the invention named "Unit for non-cash transfer of money funds by way of the GSM network" describing and presenting in a drawing the unit ensuring electronic transfer of money by using the mobile telephone, having in mind the possibilities of the mobile telephony, and especially its spreading. In this way, by means of POS terminals, efficient substitution of the so far used method of payment for goods and services with cash, checks, credit cards, and similar, has been achieved by the fast and safe electronic transfer of money. Such unit is featured by simple operation, automation and use of PIN code (the number for identification of participants in a transaction, which can have 4 to 8 digits), and by maximum safety.
Motivated exactly by this technical solution of his, and not satisfied with the known and in practice already applied method of additional crediting of SIM cards, due to the above mentioned deficiencies, the author decided in favor of a new design of the unit and its application eliminating the deficiencies of the conventional additional crediting of SIM cards.
In spite of careful search of the accessible Yugoslav and foreign patent documentation, the inventor has not found a similar unit or a similar way of using some other unit that would be relevant to the present invention.
EXPLANATION OF THE ESSENCE OF THE INVENTION
The newly designed unit and the method of its application, according to the present invention, have resolved the afore-defined technical problem.
The essence of the invention reflects in that a micro-controller, a communications chip for providing the level of integrated signals of 0, +5V, a GSM module, a keyboard, a mini printer, an LCD display and a 20MHz oscillator are fitted in a light, portable housing. In order to demonstrate its feasibility, the example of the implementation of the invention indicates the components of which the unit is composed, which are of standard manufacture, well known in the state of the art, and which individually are not the subjects of patent protection. The novelty of the invention, however, represents their design connection allowing the procedure of additional crediting of SIM cards to be effected efficiently and in the most favorable way, i.e. in places and in amounts corresponding completely to a number of mobile telephone owners. The novelty of the invention represents also the method of using such a unit through an authorized mobile operator handling the unit and allowing the additional crediting of SIM cards to be performed on the spot where the mobile telephone owner is located at that point of time, with the additional crediting compensated for by one of the known payment methods (by check, credit card or cash). If the mobile telephone owner has an account open with a business bank having established business and technical cooperation with the network of units according to the present invention, the additional crediting of SIM cards can be performed in an even more simple way by way of the electronic payment method.
The transmission unit and its application for additional crediting of SIM cards for mobile telephones according to the present invention has several advantages over the conventional, known methods of additional crediting, the most important of which are as follows:
- Costs of manufacturing the additional crediting cards are avoided:
- Mistakes appearing due to faulty cards are avoided, and the possibility of using forged additional charging cards is eliminated;
- A complete program and logistic support for financial transactions at continuous automatic processing and storing of all data is achieved with this transmission unit;
Considerable saving of time available to mobile telephone owners by avoiding queuing and going to selling points;
Possibility for people in hospitals and other health institutions, as well as for less mobile and immobile persons to perform alone and directly the additional crediting of SIM cards for their mobile telephones.
