For example, even if the call time is displayed correctly, the charges are different according to the setting conditions between the user and the carrier and thus the call rate alone cannot be used to estimate the exact charge.

In the conventional call information service method as described above, although the user can know the call information of the people who have recently called the recent call list, the usage fee information cannot be known.

For reference, the call charge is charged when the other party receives the call, but the call time information of the mobile phone as a terminal checks the time from the moment when the call is connected to the other party's phone. The exact amount of money cannot be guessed.

The present invention proposes that a service provider calculates an amount of money used by an accurate call time and transmits it to a terminal user.

In addition, the present invention proposes to transmit to the terminal user the amount of use derived in consideration of the communication conditions set between the terminal user and the carrier.

In addition, the present invention proposes that when the call is over, the service provider calculates the call time and the call charge in real time and transmits the call to the terminal user.

In addition, the present invention, when the call is terminated, the service provider of the terminal caller calculates the talk time and the call charge and sends it to the user's terminal in one message format, and the terminal receives the message and stores it in the recent call list. .                         

In addition, the present invention will be settled on a monthly basis in the case of talk time and charge, so when sending a message, the cumulative talk time and accumulated call charges are sent together on the basis of a month, so that the user can It suggests that you can see the time and rate of the call and the cumulative time and rate of the month.

The terminal usage fee service method of the present invention is a method for servicing a terminal usage fee in a network system including a terminal and a communication service provider for performing wireless communication, wherein the first terminal user attempts to make a call to the second terminal user and Connecting; Checking a call use time by a telecommunication service provider of the first terminal;

Transmitting the used amount of money corresponding to the checked talk time to the first terminal user; And storing and displaying the transferred use amount.

In addition, as an example of the present invention, the terminal use amount is separately calculated by the communication use condition of each user.

In addition, as an example of the present invention, the calculated terminal use amount includes at least one current use amount and cumulative use amount.

In addition, as an example of the present invention, the cumulative use amount is calculated based on a predetermined period.
