3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of switching a call mode of a user subscribed to a prepaid fee service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, a call mode switching method in the caller terminal 100 subscribed to the prepaid fee service according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3.

The caller terminal 100 transmits a video call to the receiver terminal 110 through the mobile communication network 130 (S200). The receiver terminal 110 receives a video call sent from the caller terminal 100 through the mobile communication network 130 (S202), and the video through the mobile communication network 130 between the caller terminal 100 and the receiver terminal 110. The call is connected (S304).

Here, the caller terminal 100 may be a terminal of a user subscribed to a prepaid fee service in which a predetermined fee is paid in advance. Therefore, when the prepaid fee is exhausted, the mobile communication service cannot be provided. Therefore, the caller terminal 100 may set a predetermined amount in advance, and if the balance is less than or equal to the remaining amount, the caller terminal 100 may be notified of the balance and convert the video call into a voice call.

The caller terminal 100 to which the video call is connected sends a balance information request signal for requesting the current balance information to the charging server 120 connected to the mobile communication network 130 (S306).

The billing server 120 receives a balance information request signal from the caller terminal 100 and generates balance information of the corresponding terminal (S308). The balance information refers to the amount of the balance of the usage fee to the present time from the usage fee prepaid by the caller terminal 100.

The billing server 120 transmits the generated balance information to the caller terminal 100 (S310).

The caller terminal 100 receives the balance information so far from the charging server 120 and checks whether the received balance information is the designated balance (S312).

Here, the designated balance is a criterion for determining whether to switch the call mode to a preset amount in the caller terminal 100 subscribed to the prepaid fee service. The designated balance may be set collectively in proportion to the amount prepaid to the prepaid rate service, or may be arbitrarily set by the user in the caller terminal 100. In addition, the designated balance may be arbitrarily changed in the caller terminal 100.

If the balance information received from the billing server 120 is less than or equal to the specified balance, the caller terminal 100 displays whether the balance is currently present in the caller terminal 100 and receives a voice call transfer request (S314). Here, the caller terminal 100 may attempt to switch to the voice call immediately after receiving the voice balance request without displaying the current balance.

The caller terminal 100 receiving the voice call transfer request transmits a voice call transfer notification message to the receiver terminal 110 through the mobile communication network 130 (S216). The voice call transfer notification message notifies that the video call being connected is converted to the voice call and includes a signal for connecting the voice call.

The receiver terminal 110 receives a voice call switch notification message including a signal for connecting a voice call (S218). The receiver terminal 110 receiving the voice call transfer notification message transmits a voice call transfer response message to the caller terminal 100 (S320). When the caller terminal 100 receives the voice call transfer response message (S322), a voice call is connected between the caller terminal 100 and the receiver terminal 110 through the mobile communication network 130 (S324).

Thus, the caller terminal 100 connected to the video call can maintain a long talk time by switching to a voice call before the balance is exhausted.

4 to 6 are flowcharts illustrating a method of switching a call mode in a caller terminal to which a video call is connected according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Each step to be described below may be steps performed in each component included in the caller terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, but is performed in the caller terminal 100 for the convenience of understanding and explanation. Collectively. Therefore, the subject performing the steps to be described below can be omitted as the caller terminal 100.

Referring to Figure 3, the video call is connected between the caller terminal 100 and the receiver terminal 110 (S400).

The caller terminal 100 to which the video call is connected receives the balance information from the charging server 120 connected to the mobile communication network 130, and checks whether the current balance is present (S402).

The caller terminal 100 determines whether the current balance of the caller terminal 100 is less than or equal to the designated balance (S404), and if the specified balance is not reached, sends a request signal to the billing server 120 for balance information, The balance information is received to receive balance information corresponding to the request signal to continuously check whether the current balance.

Here, when the balance information is received from the charging server 120, the caller terminal 100 may periodically send a request signal for the balance information, and receive the balance information corresponding to the request signal for the balance information. In another embodiment, the billing server 120 may periodically transmit balance information to the user terminal subscribed to the prepaid fee service.

On the other hand, when the current balance of the caller terminal 100 is less than or equal to the specified balance, the caller terminal 100 outputs a balance notification display indicating the current balance (S406), and switches to a voice call (S408).

Here, the balance notification display may be variously displayed through text, a signal tone, a voice message, a vibration, and the like through the information output unit 206 provided in the caller terminal 100.

In addition, a message indicating that the call is switched to a voice call according to whether or not the caller terminal 100 is exhausted may be transmitted to the receiver terminal 110 which is the counterpart terminal.

Referring to FIG. 5 as another embodiment of the present invention, steps S400 to S404 described in FIG. 4 are performed in the same manner.

Then, when the current balance of the caller terminal 100 is less than or equal to the specified balance, the caller terminal 100 displays whether or not to switch to a voice call (S500).

Here, the indication of whether the voice call is switched may be variously displayed through text, a signal tone, a voice message, a vibration, and the like through the information output unit 206 provided in the caller terminal 100. The user may determine whether to switch the voice call displayed on the caller terminal 100 through a selection button of the terminal. Here, the selection button may be a numeric button existing in the terminal, or may be a call mode switching button provided separately, and the matter regarding input of the selection button may be included together in the voice call conversion indication information.

When the user does not input the selection button or whether the user inputs the selection button for maintaining the video call, the video call is maintained until the current balance is exhausted (S502).

On the other hand, when the caller terminal 100 inputs a selection button for switching to the voice call with respect to whether or not the voice call is switched (S504). In this case, a message indicating that the call is switched to the voice call according to whether or not the caller terminal 100 is exhausted may be transmitted to the receiver terminal 110 which is the counterpart terminal.

Referring to FIG. 6 as another embodiment of the present invention, steps S400 to S404 described in FIG. 4 are performed in the same manner.

Thereafter, when the current balance of the caller terminal 100 is less than or equal to the designated balance, the caller terminal 100 displays whether to switch to postpay payment (S600).

Here, whether to switch to the postpaid payment may be variously displayed through text, a signal tone, a voice message, a vibration, and the like through the information output unit 206 provided in the caller terminal 100. The user may determine whether to switch to the postpaid payment displayed on the caller terminal 100 through the selection button of the terminal.

When the user does not input the selection button or inputs the selection button for maintaining the prepaid payment, whether the user switches to the postpaid payment or not, the user selects whether to switch to the voice call and converts the video call to the voice call (S602). . In this case, a message indicating that the call is switched to the voice call according to whether or not the caller terminal 100 is exhausted may be transmitted to the receiver terminal 110 which is the counterpart terminal.

When the user inputs a selection button for switching to postpaid payment, whether or not to switch to postpaid payment, the user is selected whether or not to switch to a voice call and is switched to a voice call (S602), or maintains a video call (S612).

 In the case of switching to the postpaid payment, the user subscribed to the prepaid rate service can be converted to the postpaid rate from the time after the prepaid call rate is used up, thereby maintaining the communication service.

In the above, the method of switching the call mode by the caller terminal 100 while the video call is connected between the caller terminal 100 and the receiver terminal 110 has been described. ) And the video call is not connected between the receiver terminal 110 and the receiver terminal 110. Hereinafter, the differences will be mainly described in FIG. 7.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a method of switching a call mode in a caller terminal that has sent a video call according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The caller terminal 100 receives a video call request signal for requesting a video call connection from the user (S700). The video call request signal may be generated when the user clicks a specific button for making a video call. In the following description, the caller terminal 100 receives an image call request signal generated by a user click. However, this embodiment may include a case where the current balance is confirmed after the video call request signal is transmitted from the caller terminal 100 to the mobile communication network.

The caller terminal 100 receiving the video call request signal receives balance information from the charging server 120 connected to the mobile communication network 130 and checks whether the current balance is present (S702).

The caller terminal 100 determines whether the current balance of the caller terminal 100 is less than or equal to the designated balance (S704), and if the specified balance is not reached, sends the video call to the receiver terminal 110 (S706).

On the other hand, if the current balance of the caller terminal 100 is less than the specified balance, the caller terminal 100 outputs an indication for converting the outgoing video call to a voice call (S708), and transmits a voice call (S710).
