Method and system for providing mobile lottery service using billing information {Method and System for Providing Mobile Lotto Service by Using Billing Information}

The present invention relates to a method and system for providing a mobile lottery service using charging information of a wired or wireless telephone. More specifically, by using call detail record (CDR) data generated by a plurality of exchanges installed in wired and wireless communication networks, lottery tickets are given a predetermined weight according to information such as the number of call connections, the communication time, and the number of use of various additional services. The present invention relates to a mobile lottery service providing method and system.

In general, the lottery is a ticket that gives a certain dividend to the right tickets by drawing lots. The current operation of the lottery is carried out as a national project, excluding illegal elements as much as possible. It is becoming a sound national entertainment that is guaranteed. There are various kinds of these lotteries, and there are representative lottery tickets and instant lotteries.

A lottery ticket is a series of numbered lottery tickets that are sold after a predetermined period of time and draw a lottery ticket with the same number. On the contrary, the instant lottery has appeared relatively recently, and a buyer who purchases the instant lottery can confirm whether or not to win the lottery immediately. The instant lottery records in advance whether or not to win on one side of the lottery, by coating all or part of one side of the lottery can be confirmed whether the lottery buyers scrape the coated side.

However, conventional lotteries are not only made of paper made of paper, but also to predict the amount of lotteries to be sold in advance, it is common to produce more than the actual sales. Therefore, unsold lottery tickets are discarded after a certain period of time, resulting in a waste of resources.

In order to improve such a problem, an internet lottery service using wired and wireless internet has been recently provided. That is, the lottery purchaser purchases a lottery ticket on a wired or wireless website using a computer or a mobile communication terminal and checks whether or not the prize is immediately won on the web, or accesses the website or receives a short message after a certain period of time. You can check whether or not.

Unlike the conventional offline lottery system, the wired / wireless internet lottery does not use paper, and thus, users are rapidly increasing due to the advantage of blocking the waste of resources and conveniently enjoying the lottery game anytime and anywhere.
