Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile phone call charge settlement method and a mobile phone call charge settlement system, and more specifically, a mobile phone call charge settlement method capable of offsetting a call charge of a rental mobile phone used overseas with an airline mileage, and The present invention relates to a mobile phone call charge settlement system.

  Recently, an increasing number of people have gone abroad for business or travel purposes, and accordingly, the international roaming (roaming connection) service of mobile phones is frequently used. However, in order to use your mobile phone as it is overseas, you must visit the mobile phone service center or sales office before you leave the country and download the software required for international roaming. Not only is it inconvenient, but the international call charges are very high, so most customers are using roamed mobile phones only for receiving and emergency.

  As a result, recently, a service for renting a mobile phone (rental mobile phone) that can be used overseas is also provided at an airport or the like. Such a rental service has a relatively low call charge compared to automatic roaming. However, from the customer's standpoint, not only is the call charge still a burden, but there is an inconvenience that the call charge must be settled separately. On the other hand, most airlines provide services such as collecting a certain percentage of mileage for each customer and providing free airline tickets according to established standards in order to attract customers and provide services.

  An example of a mileage service is a mileage provider server that receives mileage accumulation and transfer of usage requests from a POS terminal, and accumulates or cancels mileage points corresponding to the settlement amount at the POS terminal based on customer mileage information When there are a large number of mileage provider servers, customer mileage that has been batch-processed at regular intervals from the mileage provider servers and the transfer of current mileage points are received, and these are integrated and managed as an integrated mileage inquiry service. There is an integrated mileage service providing system formed from an integrated mileage service server to be provided (see Patent Document 1).

However, even with such a mileage service, most customers with few opportunities for overseas travel often cannot use the accumulated mileage. In addition, from the standpoint of airlines, the accumulated mileage may become a management burden as a kind of debt, and it is required that the mileage can be depreciated appropriately.

If necessary, the card company server (40) may be connected to the rental company server (10) via the communication network (50). Here, the mobile communication server (30) means a server constructed by a foreign mobile communication carrier that can use the rental mobile phone (60).

  The rental business operator and the mobile communication business operator may be the same business operator. In this case as well, the rental business operator server (10) and the mobile communication service server (30) are constructed in a single server. However, it is of course possible to classify functionally as illustrated. The airline server (20) stores the airline mileage information of the customer including the ratio of the airline mileage offset to the call charge of the rental mobile phone (60). The mobile communicator server (30) stores rental mobile phone information including call charges for rental mobile phones rented to customers.

  The rental company server (10) is preferably installed in each country where the rental mobile phone (60) can be used. As illustrated in the block diagram of FIG. 2, the rental company server (10) includes the control unit (11), the ARS server (12), the opening processing unit (13) (opening blocking processing unit), and the expense adjusting unit (14 ), Communication unit (15), customer database (16), rental mobile phone database (17), ROM (18), RAM (19) and the like. ARS server (12), opening processing unit (13), expense settlement unit (14), communication unit (15), customer database (16), rental mobile phone database (17), ROM (18), RAM (19) Are connected to the control unit (11) through an interface.

  The control unit (11) controls the overall operation of the rental company server (10). The ARS server (12) is for providing an automatic response service for connection. The mobile communicator server (30) converts the incoming call request to the ARS server (when the rental mobile phone (60) is requested (signal connection request) at the request of the rental provider server (10). 12) may be set.

  The opening processing unit (13) requests the mobile communicator server (30) to open the rental mobile phone (60) or block the call (or convert incoming calls to the ARS server (12)), and the mobile communicator server (30). If the opening approval is received from the mobile phone, it serves to inform the rental mobile phone (60) of the opening fact.

  The expense settlement unit (14) rents mobile phone information including the usage breakdown and call charges of the rental mobile phone (60) received from the mobile communication server (30) and the customer-specific information received from the airline server (20). Using the airline mileage information, the call charge of the rental mobile phone (60) is offset by the mileage of the customer who rented the rental mobile phone (60), and the offset processing breakdown (offset processing result) is stored in the mobile communication server ( 30) and the airline server (20).

  In addition, the expense settlement unit (14) continuously monitors whether the call charge of the rental mobile phone (60) exceeds the limit, and sets an additional mileage for the rental mobile phone (60) when the limit is exceeded. Or choose to make a credit card payment. The communication unit (15) provides an interface between the rental company server (10) and the external communication network (50).

  The customer database (16) stores customer information of customers who use the rental mobile phone (60). In addition to basic information such as name, gender, age, address, and contact location, customer information may store schedule information such as the stay schedule and return schedule of the customer. The customer schedule information may be provided by the customer or may be requested from the airline server (20). In addition to this, it is desirable to store information such as customer-specific call breakdown, call cost, accumulated mileage, and offset processing breakdown in the customer database (16).

  The rental mobile phone database (17) stores rental mobile phone information of the rental mobile phone (60) affiliated with the mobile communication provider, for example, information such as ESN (Electronic Serial Number) and telephone number. Needless to say, the customer database (16) and the rental mobile phone database (17) can be constructed in cooperation with each other without being constructed separately.

  The ROM (18) stores programs related to the overall operation of the rental company server (10), and the RAM (19) functions as a temporary storage unit. Among the above components, the control unit (11), the opening processing unit (13), the cost adjustment unit (14), etc. may be provided as a separate module or block, or may be implemented as software. is there. In addition, the rental company server (10) may be provided with a web server or a wap server (not installed) for customer wired or wireless Internet connection.

  With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 and the flowcharts of FIGS. 3 to 5, an embodiment of the present invention for the case of using a cellular phone rental service will be described as follows. First, as a pre-stage, the rental company concluded an agreement with the airline company, overseas mobile carrier, card company, etc. regarding cost settlement, information provision, and information sharing, and the mobile phone as shown in FIGS. Build a telephone call charge settlement system.

  Further, it is necessary to negotiate with the airline company on the mileage cancellation ratio for the call charge and register the mileage cancellation ratio on the rental company server (10). Furthermore, it is necessary to prepare a rental mobile phone (60) that can use the mobile communication service of an overseas mobile communication person and to register related information in the rental mobile phone database (17) of the rental company server (10). Specifically, rental mobile phone information is registered from the mobile communication server (30) to the rental mobile phone database (17) of the rental provider server (10), and airline mileage information is rented from the airline server (20). Register in the rental mobile phone database (17) of the rental server (10) and register the customer information of the customer who rented the rental mobile phone (60) in the rental mobile phone database (17) of the rental provider server (10). (First means).

  When the customer rents the rental mobile phone (60) in such a state, the rental business operator rents rental-related information (customer information, rental mobile phone information, etc.) of the rental mobile phone (60) to the rental business operator server ( 10). The rental mobile phone (60) can be rented at a mobile phone service center or sales office located at an airport or the like. However, for the convenience of the customer, the rental application form and the rental mobile phone (60) are used in-flight. Can also be rented easily.

  When the mobile phone (60) is rented in-flight, a registration terminal that can communicate with the rental provider server (10) is installed in the airplane, and the rental terminal server (10) can be quickly connected from the registration terminal. It is preferable that rental-related information can be registered. The customer can use the rental mobile phone (60) up to the entire airline mileage currently reserved, or designate the mileage range used for call charge cancellation in advance. You can also. Of course, the designated contents are registered in the customer database (16) and the rental mobile phone database (17) of the rental company server (10).

  Once the rental mobile phone information is registered in the rental provider server (10), the rental provider server (10) requests the mobile communication server (30) to open the rental mobile phone (60) and It is also possible to open the rental mobile phone (60) immediately. However, since the rental mobile phone (60) cannot be used until it arrives in the corresponding country even if it is opened, the rental mobile phone (60) is opened at the request of the customer after the customer arrives in the relevant country. More preferably.

  As an example, if the customer arrives at the destination country and presses a unique telephone number set, the rental mobile phone (60) can be automatically connected to the ARS server (12) of the rental company server (10). As described above, in the mobile communication server (30), incoming call conversion is set for the rental cellular phone (60). By doing so, the rental provider server (10) can know the rental mobile phone information of the rental mobile phone (60) connected to the ARS server (12), and is registered in the rental mobile phone information. When the rental mobile phone (60) is confirmed, the rental mobile phone (60) is automatically opened via the opening processing unit (13).

  As a specific method for opening the rental mobile phone (60), if the opening processing unit (13) requests the mobile communication server (30) for opening approval and the mobile communication server (30) approves the opening. The mobile communicator server (30) cancels the incoming call conversion setting for the rental cellular phone (60) and notifies the rental provider server (10) of the opening approval fact (ST12, ST13, ST14). Thereafter, the rental company server (10) may notify the rental mobile phone (60) that the opening has been approved.

  The opening method is not limited to that described above, and other methods can be used. For example, if a customer who has arrived in the destination country presses a set unique number, the mobile communicator server (30) determines whether or not the rental mobile phone (60) can be rented to the rental provider server (10). If it is confirmed and the rental company server (10) confirms that it has been rented normally, the rental mobile phone (60) is opened, and the opening fact is provided to the rental company server (10).

  Once the rental mobile phone (60) is opened through the above-mentioned method, the rental company server (10) sends the corresponding customer information to the airline server (20), for example, airline mileage, return schedule. Etc. (ST15). The airline server (20) provides the corresponding customer information to the rental company server (10) according to the request (ST16). The rental company server (10) stores the customer information provided from the airline server (20) in the customer database (16). However, the procedure for acquiring the customer information from the airline server (20) may be performed in the process of registering the rental mobile phone information of the rental mobile phone (60) in the rental company server (10) at the first rental. Or after registration. Once the opening is approved and the rental mobile phone (60) is opened, the customer can freely use the rental mobile phone (60) overseas (ST17).

  The expense settlement unit (14) of the rental company server (10) continuously monitors whether the call charge of the rental mobile phone (60) exceeds the mileage of the airline that can be offset (ST20). For this purpose, the rental company server (10) uses the rental mobile phone (60) breakdown to the mobile communication server (30) periodically or according to a set time (rental mobile phone information such as call charges and call time). Is requested (ST18). In accordance with the request, the mobile communicator server (30) provides the usage breakdown (rental mobile phone information) of the rental mobile phone (60) to the rental provider server (10) (ST19). The rental company server (10) acquires rental mobile phone information from the mobile communication server (30) and stores the information in the rental mobile phone database (17).

  Instead of requesting the rental carrier (60) to be provided to the mobile carrier server (30), the rental provider server (10) provides the mobile phone server (30) with a rental mobile phone. The rental cellular phone information of (60) can be registered, and the mobile communication server (30) can periodically transfer the usage breakdown of each rental cellular phone (60) to the rental provider server (10).

  The expense settlement unit (14) of the rental company server (10) determines whether the call charge of the rental mobile phone (60) exceeds the mileage available for the customer (ST20), and as a result of the determination, If not, the usage breakdown (rental mobile phone information) of the rental mobile phone (60) is continuously acquired by the method described above. If it is determined that the call charge has exceeded the mileage limit in the cost settlement section (14), the mobile phone server (30) is blocked from calling the rental mobile phone (60) directly or via the opening processing section (13). A request is made to switch incoming calls to the ARS server (12) (ST21). In response to this, the mobile communicator server (30) sets incoming call diversion so that all CALL connection signals of the rental mobile phone (60) are connected to the ARS server (12) (ST22). At this time, it may be set so that only reception of CALL is possible.

  Thereafter, when the customer makes a call through the rental mobile phone (60), the call is automatically linked to the ARS server (12) of the rental company server (10). The ARS server (12) sends a message to the rental mobile phone (60) that the call charge up to now has exceeded the mileage, and sets a subsequent additional mileage to offset the call charge, or a credit card In step ST24, it is questioned whether or not the call charge is settled.

  In this case, if the rental company server (10) determines that it is impossible to cancel the call charge further in the airline mileage of the customer, it is possible to question only whether or not to settle with a credit card. In response to the above question, in the rental mobile phone (60), it is necessary to select an additional mileage setting or a credit card settlement, and when another means is selected, the procedure ends.

  When the customer selects the additional mileage setting in the stage of ST24, the procedure illustrated in the flowchart of FIG. 4 is performed. That is, when the customer selects the additional mileage setting on the rental mobile phone (60) (ST31), for example, the ARS server (12) of the rental company server (10) has several items on the rental mobile phone (60). (For example, No. 1 is 500 miles, No. 2 is 1000 miles, etc.), and a guidance message for selecting one of them is transmitted to the rental mobile phone (60). The customer inputs an additional mileage by a method for designating a desired item accordingly (ST32).

  Subsequently, the rental company server (10) determines whether or not the input additional mileage exceeds the airline mileage of the corresponding customer and determines whether or not it is allowed (ST33). As a result of the determination, if it is acceptable, the rental mobile phone (60) is notified that an additional mileage has been set. On the other hand, the additional mileage is registered in the customer database (16) or the rental mobile phone database (17) of the rental company server (10) (ST34).

  Next, the rental company server (10) cancels the call blocking and incoming call conversion for the rental mobile phone (60) and reopens the rental mobile phone (60). (ST35). At this time, the opening fact can be notified to the rental mobile phone (60) (ST36). The reopening allows the customer to use the rental mobile phone (60) again.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in ST33 that the limit has been exceeded, the rental mobile phone (60) can be informed of whether the additional mileage is set again while notifying the fact that the limit has been exceeded ( ST37, ST38). If the customer wants to reset, the procedure of the flowchart is advanced again from the above-described step ST33. If resetting is not desired, it can be questioned whether or not the call charge is settled with a credit card (ST39).

  If the customer does not wish to pay by credit card, the procedure is terminated. In that case, in the corresponding rental mobile phone (60), the state where the incoming call is switched to the call blocking and rental company server (10) continues. If the customer selects the credit card settlement, the procedure of the flowchart is advanced again from the stage of ST41 described later.

  When the customer selects the credit card settlement in the step ST24 of FIG. 3 or the step ST39 of FIG. 4, the procedure as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5 is advanced. That is, when the customer selects credit card settlement with the rental mobile phone (60) (ST41), the rental company server (10) requests input of the credit card number via the rental mobile phone (60). Send the message to the rental mobile phone (60). In this case, it is possible to request input of a password other than the credit card number for security (ST42).

  Next, the rental company server (10) transfers the entered credit card number and password to the card company server (40), and requests credit card number and password credit inquiry (ST43). The card company server (40) determines whether or not the credit inquiry can be approved (ST44). After requesting a credit inquiry, upon receiving an approval from the card company server (40), the rental provider server (10) blocks the call to the corresponding rental mobile phone (60) and converts the incoming call to the mobile communication server (20). Is requested to open the rental mobile phone (60) (ST45). In this case, the opening fact can be notified to the rental mobile phone (60) (ST46).

  When the rental company server (10) receives the approval / disapproval from the card company server (40), it notifies the rental mobile phone (60) of the approval / disapproval fact (ST47) and determines whether or not to set an additional mileage. You can ask questions (ST48). If the customer desires additional mileage setting, the procedure of the flowchart is advanced again from the above-described step ST31. If no additional mileage setting is desired, the procedure is terminated. In that case, in the corresponding rental mobile phone (60), the state where the incoming call is switched to the call blocking and rental company server (10) continues.

  When the customer who rented the mobile phone is staying in a foreign country, the user can continue to use his / her rental mobile phone (60) through the procedure of the flowchart described above. When the rental company server (10) includes the customer's return schedule, for example, return flight boarding time information, in the customer information acquired from the airline server (20) at ST16 in FIG. This can be used to notify the customer of appropriate guidance. As an example, the customer's airplane boarding time is transmitted to the rental mobile phone (60) to guide the airplane boarding time, and the call of the rental mobile phone (60) is canceled within a predetermined time based on the boarding time. A guidance message can be sent to the rental mobile phone (60). In this case, it is possible to ask whether or not the airplane boarding time guided to the customer has been changed, and when the airplane boarding time is changed, the changed boarding date can be input from the rental mobile phone (60).

  The customer must return the rental mobile phone (60) after returning home or in the aircraft on the way home. At this time, the rental business operator deletes all the information such as the contents of the call and the destination telephone number stored in the rental mobile phone (60) from the rental mobile phone (60). Of course, the breakdown information must be stored in the rental company server (10) for the subsequent expense settlement.

  It is preferable that the actual settlement procedure for the call charge of the rental mobile phone (60) is performed after the customer returns the rental mobile phone (60). Specifically, in the checkout procedure, the rental company server (10) uses the offset ratio to cancel the call charge of the rental mobile phone (60) and the airline mileage, and the airline server (20) is registered. It is preferable that the call charge is automatically transferred to the deposit account of the mobile communication person and the transfer fact is transferred to the mobile communication server (30). The airline server (20) extracts the airline mileage from the airline mileage information of the customer after the call charge and the airline mileage are offset by the rental company server (10), The airline mileage is updated (updated) by reducing the call charge offset from the company mileage.

  For call charges for which credit card payment has been made, the rental company server (10) transfers the card payment breakdown to the mobile communication server (10). When the card payment breakdown is transferred to the mobile communication server (10), the mobile communication server (10) requests payment to the card company server (40), and the card company server (40) is the same as the normal payment procedure. Thus, after paying the mobile communicator, the call charge is collected from the corresponding customer account.

  On the other hand, since customers do not use only one airline, they often have multiple airline mileages, so when registering a rental mobile phone (60), call It is desirable to allow customers to specify specific airline mileage to be offset by price. When renting in-flight, it is only necessary to register so that it can be offset by the airline's mileage.

  In the present invention, the call charge settlement method when the mobile phone rental service is used has been described. However, it is a matter of course that the overseas call charge can be offset with the airline mileage even when the automatic roaming service is used.

  According to this mobile phone call charge settlement method and mobile phone call charge settlement system, call charges used overseas can be offset with airline mileage. There is an advantage that the mileage can be appropriately depreciated from the standpoint of the airline. In addition, from the standpoint of a mobile communicator, there is an advantage that considerable profit can be generated because the use of mobile phones overseas is greatly activated.
