Hereinafter, a method of calculating a usage index using a usage record of a user terminal according to the present invention and a preferred embodiment of the apparatus will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Like elements will be denoted by like reference numerals and redundant descriptions thereof will be omitted.

1 is a block diagram of a system for performing a usage index calculation method using a usage record of a user terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a first wireless user terminal 110, a first wired user terminal 115, a base station 120, 160, a base station controller 125, 155, an exchange 130, a message processing system 135 The packet data serving node (PDSN) 140, the Internet 145, the index calculation server 150, the second wireless user terminal 170, and the second wired user terminal 175 are shown.

Data transmitted and received between the first wireless user terminal 110 and the second wireless user terminal 170 may be largely divided into a voice call and a data call. In this case, the voice call is a call transmitted and received between users through a voice call channel, and the data call includes a Short Message Service (SMS), in this case, a Long Message Service (LMS), and a Multi-media Message Service (MMS). Call related to a message service. When the voice call originates from the first wireless user terminal 110, the second wireless user terminal (via the base station 120, the base station controller 125, the switch 130, the base station controller 155, and the base station 160) 170). In addition, when the data call originates from the first wireless user terminal 110, the base station 120, the base station controller 125, the exchange 130, the message processing system 135, the exchange 130, the base station controller 155 And the second wireless user terminal 170 via the base station 160. In this case, the first wireless user terminal 110 and the second wireless user terminal 170 may be registered in a special relationship such as a lover or a couple. Registration of lovers or couples between the first wireless user terminal 110 and the second wireless user terminal 170 is stored in a home location register (HLR) of the mobile communication network, an index calculation server according to the present invention, and a database coupled to the exchange. Can be. Alternatively, the couple or lover registered in the couple plan for the charge of the mobile communication may be the couple or lover who is the subject of the present invention.

In addition, the user may transmit or receive a voice or data call with a counterpart terminal using a wired system (eg, a personal computer). For example, when a voice call originates from the first wired user terminal 115, the second wireless user terminal 170 is transmitted via the Internet 145, the PDSN 140, the base station controller 155, and the base station 160. Is sent to. In addition, when the data call such as SMS or MMS is originated from the second wired user terminal 115, the Internet 145, the PDSN 140, the base station controller 125, the exchange 130, the message processing system 135, It may be transmitted to the second wireless user terminal 170 via the exchange 130, the base station controller 155 and the base station 160. Here, the message processing system 135 that processes the SMS or MMS may be directly combined with the PDSN 140 according to the operating environment of the system. In addition, the first wired user terminal 115 or the second wired user terminal 175 can also confirm receipt of the SMS or MMS.

The index calculation server 150 may use voice or data calls transmitted and received between the first wireless user terminal 110 or the first wired user terminal 115 and the second wireless user terminal 170 or the second wired user terminal 175. Receive the record. Here, the usage record of the voice or data call may include a voice call volume, a voice call count, an SMS call, and an MMS call. The usage record of the voice or data call is transmitted from one or more of the base station controllers 125 and 155, the exchange 130, and the message processing system 135 of the mobile communication network.

Thereafter, the index calculation server 150 stores the usage record of the received voice or data call, extracts the usage record of the voice or data call stored periodically when requested by the user, and according to a preset index calculation formula. The usage index of the user terminal 110 or the second wireless user terminal 170 is calculated.

Here, the index calculation formula of the use index may be determined as follows.

Here, MIN is an operator that selects the smaller of the two numbers, and the call volume reference value, the call number reference value, the SMS reference value, and the MMS reference value are the values that make the call volume index, the call index, the SMS index, and the MMS index the maximum. For example, N1 = N2 = N3 = 30 and N4 = 10. Here, 30 and 10 are values set arbitrarily to give weight to each index, and can be changed. Further, according to the above equations, the maximum value of the use index is 100, and this value can be arbitrarily changed.

In addition, the use index in Equation (1) includes a call volume index, the number of calls index, SMS index, MMS index, in addition to the use index may be calculated to further include a subscription index and the number of calls added index. Here, the membership index is added when a member joins a service related to a usage index calculation such as the present invention, and the voice or data call usage record may further include membership. For example, an additional 5 points may be given to a user who applies for calculation of a usage index after joining a membership. In addition, the call count addition index is an addition point given to a corresponding user terminal when a predetermined number of calls is more than a predetermined number of times within a preset period. For example, if you have more than 60 monthly calls, you can give an additional 5 points. Here, the size of the addition point may be arbitrarily determined by the service provider.

The use index may be named by various names such as love index and love index according to the characteristics of the use index. In addition, the use index may be calculated for each preset period, and for example, the use index may be calculated on a daily, monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis.

In addition, a predetermined period of time, for example, a monthly or weekly regular use index between the lovers / couples and an average use index of all users may be transmitted to the lovers / couples subscribed to the service by SMS or MMS.

Here, a specific service subscriber may manage a database including more detailed content. For example, when both lovers or couples subscribe to the service associated with the use index according to the present invention, the management index may be divided into a love start step, a love development step, a love maturity step, and a love fruition step according to the use index. That is, if the use index is less than a certain degree, if the love start phase, if more than a certain degree, it is divided into love development stage, etc., love maturity stage, love fruition stage may be determined in a similar manner. Here, the method of obtaining each level may be determined by a usage index that has been calculated and accumulated from the service subscription, or may be determined by a usage index of an average during a predetermined period, for example, a weekly average or a monthly average. .
