And, one end of the problem server (6) is connected to the point server (7) for storing the quiz point of the user of the mobile phone 1 and generates a deducted amount signal converted into the mileage quiz point of the stored mobile phone user One end of the point server 7 is connected with a CSBS (8; customer service and billing system) that deducts from the next month's toll bill based on the deduction amount signal inputted from the point server 7 to create an invoice. The other end of the point server 7 is connected to the SMSC (short message service center) for sending a text message.

Next, the method of the present invention applied to the mobile communication system as described above will be described.

The present invention proceeds to the quiz menu access step (S1) as shown in Figure 3 to select and access the quiz menu on the menu screen of the mobile phone. Then, after the quiz menu access step (S1) to proceed to the subscriber authentication determination step (S2) to determine whether the subscriber authentication of the user of the current mobile phone is confirmed. At this time, if it is determined during the subscriber authentication determination step (S2) that the subscriber authentication is not confirmed, it ends.

That is, when the user of the mobile phone 1 attempts to connect to the quiz service, by default, the CID (Caller ID) is input from the mobile phone 1 to the WAP gateway 4 via the base station system 2 and the IWF 3. Accordingly, the WAP gateway 4 forms a menu environment in a WAP manner on the LCD panel of the mobile phone 1. At this time, when the user of the mobile phone 1 wants to execute the quiz menu on his mobile phone 1, if the user clicks the quiz menu among the various menus displayed on the LCD screen of the mobile phone 1, the click signal is as described above. It is input to the subscriber management server 5 via a normal transmission path. Then, the subscriber management server 5 requests the subscriber's ID and password to be entered on the cellular phone 1 through the transmission path. When the user inputs the subscriber ID and password on the mobile phone 1, the user searches for and authenticates the corresponding subscriber ID and password in the customer DB.

However, if it is determined during the subscriber authentication judgment step (S2), if the subscriber authentication is confirmed, proceed to the quiz menu execution step (S3) to search the DB of the authenticated subscriber to prevent the problem previously asked questions While filtering, the problem of mixed main and multiple choice questions is asked on the mobile phone and the timeout is counted. Then, after the quiz menu execution step (S3) proceeds to the time limit judging step (S4) to determine whether the time limit for entering the correct answer for the current question.

At this time, as a result of judging during the time limit judging step (S4), if the correct answer input time for the current question has elapsed, it proceeds to the guide message transmission step (S5) and displays a message on the time elapsed on the mobile phone. . However, if it is determined during the time limit judging step S4 that the correct answer input time for the current question has not elapsed, proceed to the correct answer step S6 to input an input for the problem currently entered through the mobile phone. Determine if it is correct. At this time, if the determination on the correct answer step (S6) is not the correct answer for the problem entered through the current mobile phone proceeds to the guide message transmission step (S5) and the answer entered through the current mobile phone is not the correct answer A message is displayed on the mobile phone. However, if it is determined during the correct answering step (S6) that the input for the current problem entered through the mobile phone is the correct answer, proceed to the next question and mileage conversion step (S7) to the mileage for the current answer of the mobile phone user Convert points and display the next quiz question on the phone.

At this time, if the result of the determination in the last problem determination step (S8) is not the last problem, the process returns to the previous step (S7) and repeats the loop. However, as a result of judging during the last problem determination step (S8), if the current question is the last problem, proceed to the final mileage conversion step (S9) to check whether the last answer is correct and calculate the final mileage point of the mobile phone user. do. Then, after the mileage final conversion step (S9) to proceed to the quiz menu end step (S10) to display the quiz results and the final mileage points on the mobile phone and the deduction amount information signal according to the conversion of the mileage points of the mobile phone user to the billing system send.

That is, when subscriber authentication is completed by the subscriber management server 5, the subscriber management server 5 includes a WAP gateway 4 by loading a quiz question signal having a time limit, for example, 30 seconds, from the problem server 6. Displayed on the mobile phone (1) through the transmission path, the subscriber management server (5) is a question that was previously asked by searching the previously quiz question list data stored in the customer DB of the authenticated subscriber The quiz question of the problem server 6 is filtered so that the question is not answered again. Here, the quiz question list data of the customer DB is stored by converting the quiz question provided on the mobile phone for each customer in the form of code.

On the other hand, the question server 6 starts the count after the quiz question is asked to continue checking whether the specified time limit, e.g., 30 seconds has elapsed, in which case an answer is input from the user of the mobile phone 1 within this time limit. If it is determined whether the correct answer is entered. In this case, the problem server 6 displays a guide message to the mobile phone 1 through the transmission path if the user's answer of the input mobile phone 1 is not the correct answer, and feeds back to the main menu when the user exits. However, the problem server 6 transmits the corresponding information to the point server 7 when the answer of the user of the input mobile phone 1 is the correct answer. Then, the point server 7 converts the call mileage when the user's point reaches a certain point by the information according to the quiz answer input from the problem server 6.

Therefore, the subscriber management server 5 and the problem server 6 provides the main and multiple choice mixed quiz question filtered by the previous customer DB on the mobile phone while repeating the above process and providing the correct answer of the provided quiz. Accumulate points by judging. Then, the problem server 6 inputs the final result to the point server 7 when all set quiz questions are provided. Then, the point server 7 converts the final call mileage point of the user of the mobile phone 1 according to the quiz result input from the problem server 6 and converts the deduction amount information signal according to the conversion of the mileage point of the mobile phone user CSBS ( To 8). The CSBS 8 then bills the next month's call charge with reference to the deduction amount information signal input from the point server 7.

In addition, the point server 7 inputs user information and mileage point information to the SMSC 9, in which the SMSC 9 processes a predetermined signal of the information input from the point server 7 to quiz the result. And the final mileage point is put on the prepared text message and transmitted to the mobile phone 1 through the base station system (2). Therefore, on the mobile phone 1, for example, "Congratulations, the customer reaches 100 points and 100 won is deducted from the next month's call charge."
