Here, the wireless data available fee information may be information about a fee available to the terminal 110 requesting to provide wireless data. For example, suppose that the user sets the upper limit of the fee for providing wireless data to 50,000 won in advance. When the user is provided with wireless data equivalent to 20,000 won, the wireless data available rate is an available rate, that is, 30,000 won.
According to another exemplary embodiment, the
For example, suppose a user of the terminal 110 sets wireless data available information of 50,000 won per month. When the terminal 110 requests wireless data provision, the
In this case, a fee of 50,000 won may be charged to the user on a date (eg, the end of each month) specified at the time of subscription. That is, the present invention only sets a fee for providing wireless data in advance, and it is not essential that the fee is paid in advance.
The
The
Here, the reference fee information may be information regarding a lowest fee for performing wireless data provision. For example, the base rate may be 100 won or 0 won as a basic fee for providing wireless data. Therefore, the reference fee is a criterion for determining whether to provide wireless data to the terminal according to the wireless data available fee. That is, when the reference fee is 0 won, the
When the call for providing the wireless data requested by the terminal 110 is connected, the
For example, suppose that the terminal 110 uses a wireless data providing service for 10 minutes. The

Here, the wireless data available fee information may be fee information for the terminal 110 to use wireless data provision. The wireless data available charge information may be charge information set by the user of the terminal 110 to use wireless data provision for a predetermined period. For example, the wireless data available charge information is set to 50,000 won per month. Can be.
In addition, the wireless data availability fee information may be updated wireless data availability fee information to be described later. For example, suppose a user sets a fee of 50,000 won a month for providing wireless data. In this case, if the user has already used the wireless data provision corresponding to 20,000 won, the wireless data available fee information may be 30,000 won minus 20,000 won.
Subsequently, in operation S330, the wireless
Here, the specified reference rate may be the lowest rate for using the wireless data provision. For example, the base rate may be set to 500 won if the base rate for providing wireless data is 500 won. Alternatively, the base rate may be set to zero to determine whether the balance of the wireless data available rate remains.
It is apparent to those skilled in the art that the standard fee can be arbitrarily set or changed by the administrator.

Meanwhile, in operation S360, the wireless
In addition, when the wireless
Thereafter, the wireless data available rate may be charged to the terminal 110 periodically (for example, on the 25th of every month) in a postpaid payment method. For example, suppose a user subscribes to a plan that uses wireless data for a fee of 40,000 won per month. The user may pay in advance through the bank or an agency for 40,000 won, which is the wireless data available fee, on the 25th of the month of the wireless data. That is, the present invention only sets an upper limit of a fee for providing wireless data in advance, and a prepaid payment method is not essential.

5 is an exemplary diagram for describing a wireless intro page according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The wireless intro page is provided to the terminal 110 requesting to provide wireless data. In addition, the wireless intro page includes the wireless data available fee information of the terminal 110.
For example, the wireless intro page may be provided as an initial screen when the terminal 110 accesses the wireless Internet. Accordingly, the user may view the provided wireless intro page (initial screen) and determine whether to use wireless data or use time.
The
The wireless intro page may be provided in a menu form, and the user may be provided with detailed information by selecting from the provided menus.
The
It may also include a "subscribe" menu for adding wireless data availability charges. The user may additionally request a wireless data availability fee by selecting the "Submit" menu.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. It will be understood that the invention may be varied and varied without departing from the scope of the invention.
