For example, if the common identification code of the mass-billing pager terminal 61 is 1234 and the individual identification code is 567, then the calling number of this full-charge wireless paging terminal 61 is 1234-567 and the caller is the specific 700- , For example 700-0015, to the billing system.

Also, in the internal memory of the massless billing wireless calling system 30, wireless calling cap code data corresponding to a common identification code of the massless billing wireless calling terminals 61 and 62 is stored in a ratio of 1: 1.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing a wireless billing protocol of the present invention applied to the wireless paging network constructed as described above. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the overall control flow of the wireless billing protocol. FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing a voice message confirmation service method of FIG. 2, FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing a call service method of FIG. 2, FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a voice mailbox service method of FIG. And a message reception method of the terminal.

As shown in the figure, a caller connects to a fixed-rate charging paging system (30) via a service line 700, which is a toll communication service line of a public switched telephone network (PSTN) 20, to a wired telephone set 10 or a wireless telephone set 11 installed in- (201), the billing system 30 sends a message asking the caller to enter an identification code of a billing call pager (61) to be called (202).

According to the guidance message, when the caller inputs (203) a unique identification code, for example, 1234-567, of the 7 digit billing call terminal 61 consisting of the common identification code and the individual identification code, The system 30 sends 204 a message to the caller requesting the caller to select a service to use, i.e., a call service, a voice mail service, or a voice message confirmation service.

If the caller selects (206) the call service according to the guidance message, as shown in FIG. 3, the billing system 30 sends the data, that is, the telephone number to which the caller himself can be contacted, And transmits a guidance message requesting input to the caller (301).

When the caller inputs his / her telephone number (302), the billing system 30 confirms the inputted common identification code 1234 (303), and transmits a common 7-digit For example, 3456789, from the internal memory and calls the corresponding local radio paging system 40, which is connected via a dedicated line, to the local radio paging system 40 (304 to 305 ).

When the mass-billing paging system 30 is connected to the local paging system 40 via the wireless paging number, the mass-billing paging system 30 sends an individual identification It sends data consisting of code 567 and the caller's telephone number. Accordingly, the local wireless paging system 40 wirelessly transmits the wireless call cap code and data through the transmitters 61 and 62 (307), and notifies that the transmission of the data is completed to the mass-charge wireless paging system 30 (308). Accordingly, the billing system 30 sends a guidance message to the caller asking whether to reuse the service together with a guidance message informing that the transmission of the data has been completed by disconnecting the connection with the local area call system 40 (309, 209).

When data consisting of the wireless call cap code and the individual identification code and the telephone number of the caller are wirelessly transmitted, the mass-billing paging terminal 61 transmits the received wireless call cap code and the individual expression code to the self (601 to 603). If they do not match, the call signal is ignored (604). If the answer is affirmative (604), the data in which the open identification code is deleted from the received data And notifies the subscriber (605, 606).

On the other hand, if the caller requests reuse of the service according to a guidance message asking whether to reuse the service, the control flow is to send a call message to the caller requesting input of the identification code of the call-to- (202).

In addition, when the caller does not respond to a message asking whether to reuse the service or if the call is terminated, the billing system 30 terminates the paging service (210).

On the other hand, when the wireless paging service is terminated, the service system 700 calculates the wireless paging service use time of the caller and calculates the usage rate of the wireless paging service calculated by the usage rate of the service 700 according to the calculated usage time, The caller is charged. Therefore, the collection of the usage fee of the paging service will be performed by the communication company using the public telephone network.

On the other hand, when the caller 10 connected to the billing wireless call system 30 through the service line 700 enters the identification code of the billing call pager 61 to be called according to the guidance message and selects the voicemail service (201-207), the mass-billing pager system 30 allocates some of the internal memory of the mass-billing paging system 30 to a storage location so as to leave a voice message as shown in FIG. 4 (401). At this time, the identification code of the mass-billing pager 61 is used as the identifier of the storage place.

When a storage location capable of leaving a voice message is allocated as described above, the mass-billing wireless call system 30 stores the voice message input by the caller in the assigned storage location, and then stores the general message corresponding to the inputted common identification code (402 to 407) to call and access the local wireless paging system (40) by searching the internal memory for a local or wide area wireless call cap code, which is a wireless paging number.

When the local billing system 30 is connected to the local billing system 40 via the wireless paging number, the billing system 30 transmits the cap code and the individual identification code And the data of the unique identification code of the subscriber's billing wireless paging terminal 61 is transmitted. Accordingly, the local area wireless paging system 40 wirelessly transmits the transmitted wireless call cap code and data through the transmitters 51 and 52 (409), and the transmission of the data to the wireless billing system 30 is completed (410).

Accordingly, the billing system 30 sends a guidance message to the caller asking whether to reuse the service with the guidance message informing that the transmission of the data is completed by interrupting the connection with the local radio paging system 40 (410, 200).

The wireless call cap code and the individual identification code and the subscriber's billing amount data When the data consisting of the unique identification code of the paging terminal 61 is wirelessly transmitted, the billing wireless call terminal 61, as shown in FIG. 6, (601 to 603). If the received wireless call cap code and the individual identification code do not match, the call signal is ignored (604). If the received wireless call cap code and the individual identification code do not match each other, (605, 606). In this case, the subscriber is notified of a message recorded in the voicemail box by displaying only the identification code unique to the subscriber's volume billing pager 61.

On the other hand, if the caller requests reuse of the service according to a guidance message asking whether to reuse the service, the control flow returns to the step of transmitting to the caller a guidance message requesting input of the identification code of the amount- (202).

In addition, if the caller does not answer the call message asking whether to reuse the service or hang up the call, the mass-billing paging system 30 terminates the paging service (210).

On the other hand, when the wireless paging service is terminated, the service system 600 calculates the wireless paging service usage time of the caller, and calculates the usage fee of the wireless paging service calculated by the usage rate of the service 700 according to the calculated usage time, The caller will be billed together. Therefore, the collection of the usage fee of the paging service will be performed by the communication service provider operating the public telephone network.

Also, the subscriber 10 connected to the billing wireless calling system 30 via the service line 700 inputs the identification code of his or her billing wireless paging terminal 61 in accordance with the guidance message, selects the voice messaging confirmation service (201-208), the mass-billing paging system (30) is configured to store the mass-billing paging system (30) within the mass-billing paging system (30) designated by the identification code of the mass- If there is no recorded voice message, a message informing the subscriber that there is no recorded voice message is transmitted (501 to 503).

On the other hand, if there is a recorded voice message in the storage location designated by the identification code of the billing wireless paging terminal 61, the billing system 30 plays the recorded message and transmits it to the subscriber 504, If it is completed (505), the subscriber sends a message to the caller (506, 209) asking whether to reuse the service together with a message informing that the reproduction of the message recorded in the subscriber is completed.

When the caller requests reuse of the service according to the guidance message asking whether to reuse the service, the control flow returns to the caller requesting to input the identification code of the billing wireless call terminal to be called (202). In addition, if the caller does not answer the call message asking whether to reuse the service or hang up the call, the mass-billing paging system 30 terminates the paging service (210).

When the wireless paging service is terminated, the service system 700 calculates the wireless paging service use time of the caller, and calculates the usage fee of the wireless paging service calculated by the usage rate of the service No. 700 according to the calculated usage time, . Accordingly, the collection of the usage fee of the paging service is performed by the communication service provider operating the public telephone network.

On the other hand, in order to improve the utilization efficiency of the storage space, the billing system of the massless billing system is designed to automatically delete a voice message recorded in a storage place for a predetermined time, for example, 48 hours or more when a voice message is heard for a predetermined number of times or more, Also, if two or more messages are stored with the same terminal identification code, the subscriber can listen to the voice message recorded recently.

In addition, for the purpose of public use such as finding a voice mailbox service and checking a senior citizen position, a stored message can not be deleted by a user, and the use of a secret code is also unnecessary when listening to a message.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to implement a wireless paging network that is faithful to the principle of beneficiary burden in which a caller pays a fee for using a paging service, and also implements a toll-based rate plan in which a beneficiary pays a fee according to the amount of paging service This is possible.

In addition, it is possible to accommodate more subscribers than the conventional paging method within the frequency of the pushed-up size, allocate the memory size according to the amount of the message left by the caller when using the voice mail service, By automatically deleting messages, the efficiency of the cap code, frequency resources, and voicemail systems can be increased.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the true scope of the present invention should be determined only by the appended claims.
