The total cost 'v', which is not paid to the wide area network for the 'M0' months, is represented by the following equation.

v = M0 * b0 * R0

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the subscriber invests a predetermined cost 'T0' for the WLAN service (for example, purchasing a wireless terminal having a WLAN function, or purchasing a WLAN module), the investment cost ' The period 'm0' in which T0 'is offset by the cost paid to the wide area network is represented by the following equation.

m0 = T0 / (b0 * R0)

Therefore, the saving amount 'S' for the 'M0' months of the wireless terminal is represented by the following equation.

S = M0 * b0 * R0 m0 * b0 * R0 = b0 * R0 * (M0-m0)

Here, if defined as 'd0 = m0 / M0', the saving amount 'S' for the 'M0' months of the wireless terminal is expressed by the following equation.

S = M0 * R0 * b0 * (1-d0)

At this time, if 'b0 * (1-d0)' of the above formula is 'b' for convenience, the saving cost 'B' after joining the cost before joining the platform operating system for 'M0' months is expressed by the following formula. do.

B = (S-M0 * v) / M0 * R

= (M0 * b * R0-M0 (c0 + r0)) / (M0 * (a0 + R0))

= (b * R0- (c0 + r0)) / (a0 + R0)

Here, if 'y0 = r0 / R0' and 't0 = c0 / a0', 'B' is expressed by the following equation.

B = ((R0 / a0) * (b-y0) -t0) / (1+ (R0 / a0))

At this time, since the condition for realizing the cost reduction should be 'b> 0', the following conditions must be satisfied.

b * R0> c0 + r0

c0 <R0 * (b0 * (1-d0) -y0)

That is, the cost 'c0' that the subscriber pays to the platform operating system is preferably set in consideration of the variable cost 'R0' for the wide area network before the subscriber joins the platform operating system.

Therefore, the 'r0' is preferably set in a range satisfying the following conditions.

b> y0 and b0 * (1-d0)> y0

In addition, the 'c0' is preferably set in a range satisfying the following conditions.

t0 <(R0 / a0) * (b0 * (1-d0) -y0)

At this time, the total cost 'U' paid by the subscriber for 'M0' months is represented by the following formula.

U = M0 * R + M0 * u-S

= M0 * (a0 + R0) + M0 * (c0 + r0) + M0b * R0

= M0 * a0 * [(1+ (c0 / a0)) + (R0 / a0) * ((r0 / R0) + 1-b)]

= M0 * a0 * [(1 + t0) + (R0 / a0) * (1- (b-y0))]

Referring to the above equation, the greater the variable cost paid by the subscriber to the wide area network compared to the fixed cost, the greater the cost saving effect.

At this time, the ratio 'b1' allocated to the subscriber among the costs that the subscriber does not have to pay to the wide area network is expressed by the following equation.

b1 = (v-M0 * u) / (M0 * b0 * R0)

   = (M0 * b0 * R0-M0 (c0 + r0)) / (M0 * b0 * R0)

   = (b * R0- (c0 + r0)) / (b0 * R0)

   = 1 (1 / (b0 * r0)) * (c0 + r0)

   = 1-(1 / b0) * ((a0 / R0) * (c0 / a0) + (r0 / R0))

   = 1-(1 / b0) * ((y0 / (R0 / a0)) + t0)

   = 1-(1 / b0) * (t0- (y0 / (R0 / a0)))

Herein, in order to be 'b1> 0', the following equation must be satisfied.

b0> (c0 + r0) / R0

In addition, 'r1 = c0 + a * r0' is represented by the following equation.

r1 = c0 + a * r0

   = y0 * a0 + a * t0 * R0

   = a0 (y0 + a * t0 * (R0 / a0))

Accordingly, the ratio 'b2' allocated to the platform operating system among the costs that the subscriber does not have to pay to the wide area network is expressed by the following equation.

b2 = r1 / (b0 * R0)

   = (y0 * a0-a * t0 * r0) / (b0 * R0)

   = (y0 + a * t0 * (R0 / a0)) / (b0- (R0 / a0))

In addition, the ratio 'b3' allocated to the hotspot providing system among the costs that the subscriber does not have to pay to the wide area network is represented by the following equation.

b3 = r2 / (b0 * R0)

   = ((1-a) * r0) / (b0 * R0)

   = ((1-a) / b0) * t0

Finally, the total revenue 'R1' of the platform operating system for the total subscriber 'N' for the platform operating system is represented by the following equation.

R1 = N * r1 = N * a0 * (y0 + a * t0 * (R0 / a0))
