Definitions
- the invention relates generally to national and international roaming in mobile networks, and more particularly to a method and apparatus in one
- Outgoing and incoming connections abroad are recorded in the mobile network of the foreign network operator used in each case stating the date, time and duration as well as outgoing connections of the destination number and priced according to the local national tariff model.
- the data sets are then sent by the foreign network operators usually to an international clearing house and subjected there to a tariff review.
- the Clearing House finally provides the inspected records for collection for the customer's own home network operator.
- the billing information recorded in foreign networks is picked up by the international network operator via a generally daily file transfer by means of an automated method. transferred to its data center for billing.
- the customer pays the respectively valid price of the used mobile wireless network plus a constant roaming surcharge.
- the resulting costs are converted into your own currency and invoiced together with the sales taxes in your home country.
- Incoming mobile calls abroad in contrast to incoming calls in the country, usually also for the called party fee.
- the mobile phone user pays when staying abroad Case of an incoming call for the use of the foreign mobile network a time-dependent amount, the so-called "roaming leg" because the caller does not need to know the current whereabouts of his interlocutor, but only selects the usual national mobile phone number of his interlocutor and thus consequently only as much as
- different tariff zones may be used, and some network operators will charge additional surcharges for incoming connections abroad.
- incoming calls may still be charged despite switched off terminal if the customer has activated conditional call forwarding in Salt ⁇ reachability, because the customer is the "outbound" call from abroad to destination according to call forwarding (usually: mobile box in the home country) Only an unconditional call forwarding, for example, to his mobile box gives the customer the guarantee that they will not have to pay for the incoming call (however, the later polling of the mobile box is subject to a charge).
- the previous settlement of roaming calls thus leads to problems for customers and the network operator:
- the customers may be angry, they use their mobile device abroad only limited or at least with internal reservations.
- the network operator In turn, the home network operator may also be faced with the dissatisfaction of individual customers who have the conditions to make use of the aforementioned "defensive strategies" (turning off the mobile terminal, activating unconditional call forwarding, etc.). to be able to make mobile calls abroad are unclear.
- reverse charging which are implemented in many switching techniques, allow over the signaling a transfer of the cost of a call by the called party, but in the present case does not lead to a solution of the problem, because it is in the present Problem with the cost of answering the call, with reverse charging the cost of the call for the caller.
- Object of the present invention is therefore to reduce the problems and disadvantages described in the roaming due to the cost of the called party calls or to solve in individual cases.
- the invention allows a caller to explain in advance, for a certain period, the total cost of his calls to certain Mobile phone numbers - possibly within a budget - to take over. This explanation is given by the caller to the responsible network operator / network provider.
- Two example scenarios children go on trips abroad or on an international class trip, their parents declare the costs of their calls to their children; an employee travels abroad and announces accessibility via his private mobile phone; employer declares reimbursement for his calls to the employee.
- the declaration of reimbursement can be made by SMS, by voice input to a suitable server or other, preferably automatically evaluable input types (for example, Web interface).
- Calls from other callers may or may not be accepted by the mobile customer at the usual cost.
- the non-acceptance of such a call is only free of charge for him if he has enabled this, so for the non-acceptance of an incoming call, no conditional call forwarding.
- the mobile radio customer can therefore leave a total of carefree (he) be mobile terminal turned on and is therefore reachable in any case for these and other callers.
- Advantage of the idea of the invention is that a mobile customer already knows in advance that calls are at least free of charge for him in case of roaming in foreign mobile networks (possibly within a budget), because in these cases, the caller has previously declared binding, the Take over the cost of answering.
- Another advantage of the inventive idea is that a mobile customer, who has a prepaid contract, in the proposed manner can still accept roaming calls and thus remains reachable, even if his Prapaid credit should be abtelefoniert.
- Preferred embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows a possible implementation of the invention with reference to four illustrated communication networks, a first mobile network 10, a landline 20, a second roaming Mo bi If If network 30 and a third mobile radio network 40.
- a first mobile radio subscriber 11 communicates via the Mobile network 10, a fixed network subscriber 21 via the fixed network 20 and further mobile subscribers 15, 41 via the mobile network 30.
- the communication networks 10, 20, 30, 40 are connected via corresponding (transition) exchanges 12, 22, 32, 42 with each other, so that a communication between the participants 11, 15, 21, 41 with each other is possible.
- Each communication network 10, 20, 30, 40 comprises a billing center 13, 23, 33, 43 via which the communication services used by the respective subscribers 11, 15, 21, 41 are billed.
- the roaming communication services used are billed on a transnational basis.
- the billing systems 13, 23, 33, 43 exchange corresponding billing data via the clearing house 50.
- Prerequisites It should be a caller, e.g. the subscriber 11, to be able to explain in advance, for a certain period, the total cost of his calls to certain mobile phone numbers, e.g. of the subscriber 15 to take over. Both the caller 11 and the called party 15 belong to the same mobile service provider of the (home) mobile radio network 10, so that their billing is carried out in one and the same billing system 13.
- the mobile operator of the mobile network 10 operates as part of his
- Billing system 13 a suitable technical facility in the form of a database 14 (server).
- database 14 details of the billing modalities that are evaluated by the billing system 13 are stored for each subscriber, including subscribers 11 and 15.
- Subscriber 11 may provide an explanation for coverage of calls to subscriber 15, e.g. via SMS in a certain format, by voice input to a suitable for this purpose language server, via a web interface (Internet) or other, preferably automatically evaluable input types to the billing system 13 transmit.
- Internet web interface
- the caller must in each case the favored phone numbers, e.g. of the participant 15, the (possibly respectively) relevant period of the cost assumption or alternatively also a budget, the financial extent of his
- Database 14 stored list is shown in the following table:
- the subscriber here the subscriber 11, who makes such a statement must accordingly identify and authenticate himself as a customer vis-à-vis his mobile service provider / mobile radio network 10.
- the mobile service provider accepts this explanation from his customer (possibly after appropriate credit checks), he can inform the customers, e.g. Subscribers 15, who are to benefit from this declaration, accordingly inform by SMS or email, for example, that the costs for calls that the subscriber receives abroad are borne by the subscriber 11.
- the subscriber 15 is preferably connected via e.g. Telephone number of the caller 11, period, possibly informed budget.
- information is communicated to both parties (caller 11, beneficiary 15) on the day of commencement of the period and at the end (expiration of the period or budget).
- the mobile service provider of the mobile network 10 now evaluates this explanation of the customer 11 and stores this information in his billing system 13, in which he enters the information in the prepared database 14 for this purpose to obtain a simple overview of all such information of all his customers and order in this way to allow further processing. If now a call of the subscriber 11 for the subscriber 15, who is staying, for example, as a roaming subscriber in a foreign mobile telephone network 30, the call of the subscriber 15 in the mobile telephone network 30 is first registered in the usual way, a billing data record is created and stored in the billing system 33 of the roaming system. Mobile network 30 stored. From the billing system 33 of the mobile network 30, the billing records of the subscriber 15 are transmitted via the international clearing house 50 to the billing system 13 of his home mobile network 10.
- each individual data record which is the data record of a call acceptance of the subscriber 15 is compared to the one in the database 14 stored information compared.
- Find the accounting system 13 by means of the comparison of a record in which the phone number of the caller 11 corresponds to the customer here explaining and the phone number of the called party 15 matches one of the numbers specified by the subscriber 10, and the call is made in the specified period and possibly the Budget not used up, the corresponding amount is contrary to the usual procedure for the settlement of calls accepted in the roaming case not the called party 15, but the caller 10 attributed and possibly the budget reduced by the amount of the call.
- the mobile service provider uses his billing system to generate the invoices for the caller 11 and the called party 15 in the next billing run, taking account of the customer's wishes.
- the bill amount of the caller 11 is higher than the usual procedure by the amount of the incoming roaming calls to be accepted by him, by which the bill amount of the called party 15 is reduced or the bill amounts of the called party are reduced.
- the corresponding database 14 with all these billing information from all subscribers 11, 15, etc., of the mobile service provider is regular checked and adjusted for those entries whose validity period has expired or whose budget has been used up. This cleanup will accordingly reduce the amount of data reconciliation needed for this process in the billing system. Additional storage or logging (outside or parallel to the database 14) of the information relevant here may be required for control purposes, for example in subsequent invoice complaints.
- a caller e.g. the subscriber 11, to be able to explain in advance, for a certain period, the total cost of his calls to certain mobile phone numbers, e.g. of the subscriber 41, to take over.
- the calling subscriber 11 and the called subscriber 41 belong to different mobile service providers or different mobile radio networks 10 and 40, respectively, so that their invoicing takes place in different accounting systems 13 and 43, respectively.
- the mobile service provider (the caller 11) operates in the mobile network 10 a suitable technical device in the form of a database 14 (server). Details of the billing modalities are stored in the database 14 for each subscriber and can be evaluated by the billing system 13.
- the subscriber 11 can make a statement on the assumption of costs for connections to the subscriber 41 and deliver it by SMS in a certain format, by voice input to a suitable voice server, via a web interface (Internet) or other, preferably automatically evaluable input types to the own network operator ,
- the caller must in each case the preferred numbers of the subscriber 41, the respective responsible mobile service providers such as the mobile network 40, the (possibly) relevant period or alternatively also a budget that limits the financial scope of his favor (single budget each Telephone number or upper cost limit for each individual call per telephone number or general upper cost limit for each individual call or total budget for all specified telephone numbers of a mobile service provider).
- the subscriber 11 who makes such a statement must accordingly identify and authenticate himself as a customer vis-à-vis his mobile service provider or mobile radio network 10.
- the caller's mobile service provider here subscriber 11
- accepts this customer's statement if necessary after appropriate credit checks
- these participants are informed about eg call number of the caller, period, and if necessary budget.
- corresponding information on the day of the beginning of the period and at the end to both parties (caller, beneficiary).
- the mobile service provider of the caller 11 now evaluates this explanation of the caller and deposits this information in his billing system 13, in which he enters the information in a prepared database 14 for this purpose to obtain a simple overview of all such information all his customers and on this way to allow further processing.
- the mobile service provider of the caller 11 thus carries in the database to the corresponding entry of the caller's number those telephone numbers, e.g. of the subscriber 41, whose calls assumptions the subscriber 11 intends to take over in the case of roaming, whose mobile service providers / mobile networks and, if appropriate,
- NA mobile network operator of the mobile network 10 of the caller 11
- NB mobile network operator of the mobile network 40 called 41 MB mobile operator of the called 41 MA and MB are different companies here, MA and NA can be different but also identical, as well as MB and NB can be different, but also identical.
- MA now needs an agreement with MB. This can be concluded directly between the two parties MA, MB Alternatively, however, agreements between MA and NA, between NA and NB and between NB and MB could be concluded, so that then indirectly an agreement between MA and MB results.
- Mobile network 31 receives and include a call acceptance by subscribers 41 of a call from subscriber 11, forwarding to MA that MB does not charge this data set to subscriber 41 that MB receives a corresponding value compensation from MA to compensate for its costs.
- MA is now based on a corresponding agreement, the explanation of his customer (calling subscriber 11) to the mobile operator MB (of the beneficiary participant 41) on.
- MB now evaluates this explanation of the caller A and deposits this information in his billing system, in which he enters the information in a prepared database 44 to get a simple overview of all such information of all his customers and in this way further processing to enable. MB thus contributes in the database 44 to the number of subscriber 41 that number of the subscriber 11, who wants to take over the calls assumptions of subscriber 41 in the case of roaming, the competent mobile service provider MA and possibly the individual / total budget for participants 11 a.
- each individual data record which is the record of a call acceptance, is compared with the list of its customers contained in the database 44 , If MB finds a record by means of the matching, in which the call number of the called party 41 and the associated call number of the caller 11, the call was made in the specified period and possibly the budget (related to the caller 11) is not used up, the corresponding amount is contrary to the usual procedure for the settlement of calls acceptance in the roaming case not the called party 41 in Invoice.
- MB of the network 40 collects these special records to be treated and then transmits them to MA of the network 10 on the basis of their direct or indirect agreements. Typically, this transmission is secured en bloc (for all of its customers B who are favored by a caller A of MA) and regularly. MA in turn balances the value of MB.
- MA and MB may reduce the budget of subscriber 11 in their databases 14 and 44, respectively.
- the mobile service providers MA and MB then create the invoices for their customers, taking into account the respective customer requirements.
- Databases 14 and 44 which comprise all such information from all their customers, are periodically reviewed by MA and MB, and are cleared for those entries whose validity period has expired or whose budget has been used up. This cleanup reduces accordingly
- Storage or logging (outside or parallel to the database 14) of the information relevant here may for control purposes, for example at later
- a caller It should be possible for a caller to be able to explain in advance, for a certain period, the total cost of his calls to certain Mobile phone numbers to take over.
- the caller belongs to a landline provider (usually Identisch with the associated landline operator), the called party to a mobile operator.
- the billing is done in different billing systems 23 and 13 respectively.
- the essential difference is that the calling subscriber 21 is a subscriber to a fixed network 20.
- the terms mobile service provider MA and mobile network operator NA are to be replaced by fixed network provider FA and fixed network operator FNA of the fixed network 20.
- FA as a fixed network provider usually has no experience in dealing with roaming data sets from mobile communications, it is recommended that MB not only provides the fixed network provider FA with the data records in raw form, but also prepares and evaluates the data for FA.
- This third embodiment is therefore particularly relevant for telecommunications companies offering both fixed and mobile services.
- the total cost of a call to a called party, which roams abroad, can in some cases not only from the cost of the call to the number in their home area (usually by the caller to wear), the cost of
- the cost of answering the caller in the Abroad corresponds (usually to be borne by the person called, in accordance with the present inventive concept at the request of the caller to be borne by the caller), but additionally consist of a third cost component.
- the third cost component is usually borne by the called party and is incurred when the called party has activated a conditional call diversion and this is used (eg call forwarding, if no call acceptance takes place on the mobile box abroad).
- the associated data records of this third component are records of outgoing calls and are also tariffed as outgoing calls for the called party.
- this third cost component is not included in the caller's reimbursement.
- different ways out are possible:
- the called party deactivates the conditional call forwarding in good time, then the third cost component can not be incurred.
- the mobile service providers of the caller and the called party explicitly assign their customers to the non-consideration of the third
- Roaming calls are required. He now has to examine the datasets to see if a dataset has a Call acceptance by the called party another, simultaneous record of an outgoing call (to the destination of the call forwarding, eg mobile box) exists and then possibly has to charge this additional record of an outgoing call with the caller.
- a caller generally has the ability to suppress the display of his number on the terminal of the called party. This could, in connection with the cost assumption proposed here, lead to an assumption of an assumed situation that the person called does not know in the important roaming case who is calling him and whether the acceptance of the call is now free of charge for him or her.
- Dialing suppression pointed out and asked to deactivate the call number suppression.
- MA causes (in cooperation with NA) the compulsory deactivation of the phone number suppression (as long as an explanation of the reimbursement is active)
- a subscriber does not issue a statement on the assumption of costs for connections to another subscriber to his own network operator, but directly to the network operator of the other subscriber.
- the network operators then negotiate the billing modalities among each other.
