Description

Zone service system by subscriber and its method {SYSTEM OF SUBSCRIBER HOME ZONE SERVICE AND METHOD THEREOF}

The present invention relates to a zone service system and a method for each subscriber, and more particularly, coordinate information (latitude and longitude) corresponding to individual cell information (Cell_ID) set to the zone service subscriber according to an outgoing call request of a service subscriber. The present invention relates to a zone service system for each subscriber and a method for determining whether an area requesting an outgoing call belongs to an individual service area by comparing coordinate information (latitude and longitude) of an area for which an outgoing call is requested.

As the spread of mobile communication services has been expanded, it is a trend to have one mobile communication means per person in recent years, and thus, the spread of mobile communication terminals has increased. Accordingly, mobile communication providers are providing various mobile communication services to expand their business networks.

In particular, mobile operators have introduced and provided a new service called zone service as part of a service differentiation strategy from other mobile operators. Zone service defines zone service level and zone service area (eg, within 1km radius of subscriber's address) for each subscriber, and charges for calls within defined home zone area is lower than existing mobile communication fee. It is a service for providing a variety of charge system to the mobile subscribers.

Conventionally, mobile subscribers are using landlines that are relatively inexpensive due to the burden of call charges in the office or at home, and the uniform billing method established for mobile subscribers who do not apply for landline telephone service is based on call charges. It acts as a burden and causes a leak of mobile subscribers. In order to solve this problem, the zone service was introduced, and the zone service is a service generated in part to attract more subscribers by diversifying the mobile communication fee system.
