Description

System and method for sales statistics about wireless internet service for wireless internet service

The present invention relates to mobile communication technology, and more particularly, to a sales statistics system and a method for a wireless Internet service.

The utilization rate of the wireless Internet service through the mobile terminal is steadily growing due to various conditions such as the spread of the mobile terminal, the evolution of wireless Internet technology, and the strengthening of wireless contents. For example, a user may access the wireless Internet through a mobile terminal to search for desired information or download necessary content.

Currently, the wireless Internet fee of the mobile terminal is divided into two information charges corresponding to the content usage fee and a data charge applied to the packet per packet according to a method proposed by the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Forum (UMTS Forum). When the user uses the wireless Internet service through the mobile terminal, the mobile carrier charges the wireless Internet fee by adding up the information usage fee and the data call fee.

The information usage fee is a fee incurred for the use of wireless content, and a certain amount of money is determined for each service by the content provider.

Data call charge is a kind of call charge called a data packet charge, and it is a charge continuously charged from the time when the user presses the wireless internet access key of the mobile terminal to the end of the call. It can be seen as a concept corresponding to the telephone fee charged until the hang up.

When connected to the wireless Internet, the information transmitted to the mobile terminal is measured in packets. One packet is 0.5 KB. The data call fee is generated based on the packet usage of the content transmitted through the actual network path, and is calculated separately from the information fee determined for each service.

For example, the data call charge is set at 4.55 won per packet for text, 1.75 won for small-capacity multimedia (graphics such as photos and games), and 0.9 won for large-capacity multimedia (movies such as movies and dramas). When accessing the wireless Internet and selecting a wallpaper or ringtone, the user follows the textual description. If a user downloads a 20KB ringtone, 20KB is 40 packets, so the data charge is 260 won for a ringtone of 6.5 won per packet. In other words, the information charge for the ringtone plus the data call charges 260 won is the final bill for the wireless Internet fee.

If both information and data charges are incurred for one particular service, the mobile operator will calculate both rates as revenue. However, information charges, which are the cost of using contents, and data charges, which are calculated based on the volume and time of the network, are different from each other due to their characteristics. There is a problem.

In particular, since data call charges are network-based data, unlike information charges, data call charges are not classified in detail as to what data is generated by the use of services. Product criteria, content type criteria, etc.).

Accordingly, the technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a sales statistics system and method for unifying and managing data call charges and information charges, which are heterogeneous billing elements of the wireless Internet service.

Another technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a sales statistics system and method for calculating sales statistics in various ways from the perspective of a mobile carrier by using the integrated wireless Internet fee.

Hereinafter, a sales statistics system of a wireless Internet service according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

1 is a block diagram of a sales statistics system for a wireless Internet service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a sales statistics system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a mobile terminal 110 and a mobile communication network 120, a content providing device 210, and a content billing device 310 of a data call fee section. And a statistical processing device 320, a billing control device 350 and a sales management device 380 in a billing section.

The mobile terminal 110 is a device receiving a call service and a wireless Internet service by accessing the mobile communication network 120. The mobile terminal 110 uses a wireless Internet such as a code-division multiple access (CDMA) terminal and a wideband code-division multiple access (WCDMA) terminal. For all kinds of terminals that can be connected to the mobile communication network 120.

The mobile communication network 120 provides a call service to the mobile terminal 110 including a wireless switching center, a network interworking device, and the like, and connects the mobile terminal 110 to the plurality of content providing devices 210 to provide a wireless Internet service. To be provided. The device included in the mobile communication network 120 may vary according to the type of the mobile terminal 110.

When the user connects to the mobile communication network 120 through the mobile terminal 110 to use the wireless Internet service, an information usage fee and a data call fee for providing the wireless Internet service are charged.

The information usage fee is a fee per content, and is a fee charged for wireless content provided from the plurality of content providing devices 210 to the mobile terminal 110.

The data call charge is a packet exchange charge, and is a charge for the time of accessing the mobile communication network 120 for use of the wireless Internet service and the amount of packet use transmitted and received through the mobile communication network 120.

The content providing device 210 provides wireless content to the mobile terminal 110 through the mobile communication network 120 in a wireless Internet service, and charges a certain information fee in the process of providing wireless content. The plurality of content providing devices 210 are linked to the mobile terminal 110 through a network (eg, the Internet) coupled with the mobile communication network 120 to provide various types of wireless content (eg, mobile games, movies, etc.). Done.

The billing device unit 300 collects the information service fee and the data call fee for the wireless Internet service through different paths, integrates the collected information service fee and the data call fee with each other, and generates the sales statistics by subjecting each item to subordinate processing.

The billing device unit 300 includes a content billing device 310, a statistical processing device 320, a billing control device 350, a sales management device 380.

The content billing device 310 is a device that primarily interoperates with the plurality of content providing devices 210 to charge the information usage fee. The content billing device 310 interworks with reference information (eg, content ID, menu ID, etc.) necessary for billing. The paid usage log of the information fee is collected from the content providing device 210. The collected paid usage log is transmitted to the statistical processing device 320 through a process of validation, reformatting, and filtering.

The statistical processing device 320 receives a paid usage log from the content billing device 310, collects a free usage log from the plurality of content providing devices 210 connected to the mobile communication network 120, and collects a paid usage log and free of charge. The usage log is processed to generate an information fee META and an information fee CDR. The royalty fee CDR consists of extracting the fields required for charging from the entire field area of the fee.

Thereafter, the data call charge CDRs are mapped and distributed to the information charge META to generate an integrated META.

The paid usage log and the free usage log are a data format used to send the log remaining after the service is provided by the content providing device 210 to the charging device unit 300 such as the content billing device 310 or the statistical processing device 320. For example, the data corresponds to the information usage fee charged per content.

After using the service, the main fields that remain in the paid and free usage log are customer identifiers such as MIN (MIN: Mobile Identification Number) / MDN (Mobile Directory Number), product ID, menu ID, content ID, and Uniform Resource Locator. ).

When processing the usage fee and the free usage log to generate the information fee META, data that is not filled in the content providing device 210 (for example, an error code at the time of error verification, a classification scheme for services provided by the content providing device 210) Additional fields are generated. For example, if a paid or free usage log has about 20 fields, the information service META has 40 to 50 extended fields, consisting of a relatively large field area.

Information service META is aggregated and processed for each service type code (Contents_Delivery_System) proposed by the UMTS forum. The service type code is a classification code applied to the content, the product, and the menu in the same manner, and based on this, the sales including the information usage fee and the data currency fee are calculated.

The charging control device 350 receives the information fee CDR from the statistical processing device 320. Then, the data call charge CDR for the service use of the mobile terminal 110 is collected through the mobile communication network 120 to charge the data call charge, and the data call charge CDR and information charge CDR are integrated. Data call charge CDRs are integrated and processed by service type. Subsequently, the information rate R_CDR and the data call R_CDR are finally generated by reflecting the charging rate information on the reprocessed data call charge CDR and the information charge CDR.

The charging control device 350 is largely composed of a first charging control unit 360 and a second charging control unit 370.

The first billing control unit 360 receives the information fee CDR and the data call fee CDR and performs reprocessing, and then transmits it to the second billing control unit 370. Data call charge CDRs are integrated and processed by service type. Information fee CDR is roaming (Roaming) processing, per-user fee filtering (Filtering) processing.

The second billing control unit 370 reflects the billing rate information (eg, discount / deduction information for each user) in the information fee CDR and the data call CDR reprocessed by the first billing control unit 360 to provide basic data necessary for billing and settlement. Information service fee R_CDR and data call fee R_CDR.

The sales management device 380 receives the information usage fee R_CDR and the data call fee R_CDR transmitted from the accounting control device 350 and the integrated META transmitted from the statistical processing device 320, and calculates the integrated sales amount for each item by using the network operator. Make your back visible.

Here, the sales statistics are wireless Internet rates reflecting both information service charges and data call charges, and it is possible to distinguish in detail which services are generated by both service charges and data call charges. In addition, since it is possible to assign / integrate detailed items such as menus, contents, and products based on a service management number or a service request time, sales can be calculated on various criteria without restriction.

For example, the sales management device 380 may output sales statistics for each business unit / headquarters / division, and calculate sales statistics for each business department, headquarters, and division by menu, content, and product.

FIG. 2 is a detailed configuration diagram of the statistical processing device shown in FIG. 1.

The statistical processing unit 320 receives the information fee META (both paid and free usage logs are reflected) and the data call fee R_CDR, and indirectly maps and distributes the two data through a comparison operation.

The statistical processing apparatus 320 is largely composed of a first statistical processing unit 330 and a second statistical processing unit 340.

The first statistical processor 330 receives the paid usage log primarily processed by the content billing device 310 to charge the information usage fee for the wireless content use, and free use from the plurality of content providing devices 210. Collect logs. After processing the paid usage log and the free usage log to generate the information fee META and the information fee CDR, the information fee CDR is used as the first billing controller 360, and the information fee META is used to generate the second statistics. Transmission to the processing unit 340, respectively.

The second statistical processor 340 receives the data call charge R_CDR from the charging control device 350 to charge the data call charge for the use of the mobile communication network 120 for the wireless Internet service. In addition, the information receiving fee META is received from the first statistical processing unit 330, the data call fee R_CDR is mapped and distributed to the received information fee META, and an integrated META to be used as the base data of sales statistics is generated through attribution and integration processing. Transmission to the sales management device 380.

In addition, the information charge R_CDR is received from the charging control device 350 to reflect the charge rate information of the information charge in the integrated META.

The second statistical processor 340 includes a session setup unit 341, a data call charge distribution unit 342, an information service meta adder 343, and an attribution / integration processor 344.

The session setting unit 341 sets a session range by comparing the information service fee META transmitted from the first statistical processing unit 330 with the data call fee R_CDR transmitted from the second charging control unit 370. Each session range is a service management number or a service request time divided by a predetermined unit, and the interworking processing for generating an integrated META is performed in a session unit.

Here, the interworking process refers to a series of operations for processing the data call fee and the information usage fee into one session, and the session refers to a point from when the user accesses the wireless Internet service to the end of the service.

After the user accesses the wireless Internet service and performs menu navigation, the data call charge is bundled into one session for the process of using the contents of the content providing apparatus 210 of the final stage. 320).

When the content used in one session is exemplified as a service type of 'WAP-GVM-VOD', the charging control device 350 performs a statistical processing device 320 for each service type record constituting the data call charge R_CDR of the session. To send). That is, the data call charge R_CDR is received separately for each service type in the same session.

The data call fee distribution unit 342 distributes the data call fee R_CDR to the information service fee META based on the mapping key, and sets an additional meta area related to the data call fee in the integrated META.

The information service meta adder 343 receives the information service fee R_CDR including the charge rate information from the charging control device 350, and reflects the charge rate information of the information service fee in the integrated META to add the information fee related to the information service fee in the integrated META. Set the meta area.

The attribution / integration processing unit 344 performs subordinate processing and integration processing for each item on the integrated META. At this time, the attribution processing for a certain item (for example, menu ID, content ID, product ID) is performed, and then integrated processing is performed for the same item.

In this way, data call charges and information charges, which are disparate billing factors, can be integrated to generate sales by schedule items (eg, by menu, product, and content), and network operators can generate revenue by item including both elements. You can calculate the sales performance of each division, division, and division by using.

That is, data toll charges can be classified in detail like service charges by mapping, assigning, and distributing data charges according to service type codes of information charges using the structure of information charges. Accurate sales statistics can be produced by stars (eg, by menu, by content, by product).

Hereinafter, the sales statistics method of the wireless Internet service according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 8.

3 is a flowchart of a sales statistics method for a wireless Internet service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, in step S100, the user accesses the mobile communication network 120 through the mobile terminal 110 to use a wireless Internet service.

Next, in step S200, the plurality of content providing apparatuses 210 provides the wireless content for the service requested to the mobile terminal 110 through the mobile communication network 120 during the wireless Internet service.

Next, in step S300, the charging device unit 300 collects the information service fee for the wireless content provided to the mobile terminal 110 and the data call fee for using the mobile communication network 120 through different paths, and the information service fee and data. Map call charges to each other to create an integrated META. Then, the integrated META is processed by items in order to generate sales statistics.

The step S300 may be subdivided as follows.

First, in steps S311 and S312, the content billing device 310 collects a paid usage log from a plurality of content providing devices 210 connected to the mobile communication network 120 to charge the information fee, and the first usage log. The statistical processor 330 transmits it.

Next, in steps S313 and S314, the first statistical processing unit 330 of the statistical processing device 320 collects free usage logs from the plurality of content providing devices 210, and processes paid usage logs and free usage logs. To generate an information fee META and an information fee CDR.

Next, in steps S321 and S322, the first statistics processor 330 transmits the information fee META to the second statistics processor 340 to generate the sales statistics, and transmits the information fee CDR to the charging control device 350. send.

Next, in operation S323, the charging control device 350 collects the data call charge CDR through the mobile communication network 120 to charge the data call charge for the mobile terminal 110.

Next, in step S330, the charging control device 350 reprocesses the information service fee CDR received from the statistical processing device 320 and the data call fee CDR collected from the mobile communication network 120, and then charges the respective data. Reflecting the rate information, the information service fee R_CDR and data call fee R_CDR are generated.

Next, in steps S341 and S342, the charging control device 350 transmits the information fee R_CDR and the data call fee R_CDR to the second statistical processor 340 and the sales management device 380, respectively.

Next, in operation S350, the second statistics processor 340 interworkes the information service fee META received from the first statistics processor 330 and the data call fee R_CDR transmitted from the second billing control unit 370. Create The interworking process is performed by appropriately distributing and mapping the data call charge R_CDR to correspond to each field of the information service fee META.

In addition, the second statistical processor 340 reflects the charging rate information of the information fee included in the information fee R_CDR received from the charging control device 350 in the integrated META.

In addition, at this stage, item-specific attribution processing and integration processing are performed to generate sales statistics.

Next, in step S361, the second statistical processing unit 340 transmits the integrated META to the sales management device 380.

Next, in operation S370, the sales management apparatus 380 may calculate the integrated sales amount based on various criteria by processing the integrated META transmitted from the second statistical processing unit 340.

FIG. 4 is a detailed flowchart illustrating some steps of FIG. 3, and illustrates a detailed process (step S350) performed by the second statistical processing unit 340 of the statistical processing apparatus 320. 5 to 8 are diagrams for describing each step of FIG. 4.

First, FIG. 5 exemplarily illustrates a method of generating an integrated META.

Referring to FIG. 5, the integrated META generated by the second statistical processing unit 340 includes fields for a customer identifier for identifying a user, an information fee, an information fee discount amount, a data currency fee, and a data currency deduction amount.

The information fee field reflects data collected from the content billing device 310 and the plurality of content providing devices 210. Data collected from the content billing device 310 and the plurality of content providing devices 210 are paid and free usage logs.

The information fee reduction amount field and the data charge deduction amount field reflect the data transmitted from the second charge control unit 370, that is, the charging rate information included in the additional fields of the information charge R_CDR and the data call fee R_CDR.

The data call charge field reflects the data in the basic field of the data call charge R_CDR transmitted from the second charging controller 370.

The integrated META generated by the second statistics processing unit 340 is sent to the sales management device 380 and used as the base data for generating sales statistics.

The interlocking operation for generating the integrated META as shown in FIG. 5 will now be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 and 6 to 8.

First, in step S351, the session setting unit 341 of the second statistical processing unit 340 first extracts an information service fee META, which is a target of the interlocking process, from the database in order to perform a correlation process.

It will take some time before the information fee and data call fee are delivered in the form of META and CDR. Therefore, the waiting time is set to extract the META with only the data which has passed the predetermined time as the target of the interlocking process, and only the data after the corresponding time is the extraction target.

In addition, when the user is currently using the service, additional data may be generated. Therefore, even if the interworking waiting time has passed after the end of the service, among the data whose waiting time has been set by setting the interlocking processing waiting time, the data to be extracted is extracted from the target of extraction. Exclude.

Then, the extracted information service fee META and the data call fee CDRs collected from the charging control device 350 are compared with each other to set a session range that becomes a unit for generating an integrated META.

In this case, a service management number or a service request time may be used as a criterion of session classification.

For example, services corresponding to a certain time period of a service request time are grouped into one session in the same session, and interworking processing is performed for each session.

Next, in step S352, the data call charge distribution unit 342 of the second statistical processing unit 340 distributes the data call fee CDRs to the information service fee META based on the mapping key, and maps the data call fee associated with the data call fee in the integrated META. Set additional meta area.

Here, the service type code (Contents_Delivery_System) of the information service fee META and the service type of the data call fee CDR may be used as mapping keys. In this case, the second statistical processor 340 stores the mapping table in advance, and maps the service type code of the data call fee CDR and the service type code of the information service fee META according to the mapping table.

6 illustrates step S352.

Referring to FIG. 6, the data call charge CDRs are mapped / distributed to the basic meta area to generate an additional meta area (data call charge). Here, the data call charge CDR mapped to the basic meta area is R_CDR in which charging rate information is reflected.

The charging amount, deduction information, discount information, and data size included in the data call charge R_CDR transmitted from the second charging control unit 370 are distributed to the basic meta area based on a schedule mapping key (service management number, service request time, etc.). To map. The mapping work is performed by mapping the service type code of the data call charge CDR and the service type code of the META according to the mapping table. That is, two types of data are mapped according to a pre-stored mapping table using the service type code of the data call charge CDR and the service type code of the basic meta area as mapping keys.

The charging rate information (charge amount, deduction information, discount information, etc.) of the data call charge included in the data call charge CDR is distributed to each field of the additional meta area according to a preset distribution ratio (distribution rule).

Next, in step S353, the information service meta adder 343 of the second statistical processing unit 340 sets the additional meta area related to the information service fee by reflecting the charging rate information of the information service fee in the integrated META.

7 illustrates step S353.

Referring to FIG. 7, billing rate information included in the information fee CDR is mapped to a basic meta area of the information fee META to generate an additional meta area (information fee). Here, the information fee CDR mapped to the basic meta area is information fee R_CDR in which charging rate information is reflected.

The second statistical processor 340 distributes the charge amount, deduction information, discount information, and the like, included in the information fee CDR received from the second charge controller 370 based on the mapping key, to each field of the basic meta area, and maps them. Each field of the additional meta area is set.

The integrated meta, which has undergone the above-described process, includes a basic meta area, an additional meta area for an information service fee, and an additional meta area for a data call fee.

Next, at step S354, the attribution / integration processing unit 344 of the second statistical processing unit 340 performs dependent processing and integration processing by item (eg, menu ID, content ID, product ID) for the integrated META. . Here, a menu ID, a content ID, a product ID, etc. may be used as a reference of attribution / integration processing.

8 illustrates step S354.

Unlike the information service fee, the data call fee is transmitted from the charging control device 350 to the statistical processing device 320 in a state in which an accurate service classification is not performed, that is, not dependent on the service type code. Therefore, the statistical processing unit 320 assigns the data call fee to the service type code of the information fee using the menu ID, the content ID, the product ID, and the like.

In the case of FIG. 8, the menu ID of the data call charge belongs to the first set menu ID among data generated before the current record. In other words, when there is no menu ID for assigning data call charges in the basic meta area, the corresponding data call charges belong to upper menu IDs to give a menu ID.

After the attribution processing, the integrated processing is performed for the same menu ID to set the information service fee rate area and the data call fee rate area in the integrated META. At the time of attribution and integration processing, of course, it may be based on the content ID or product ID.

In this manner, the statistical processing device 320 sets up an integrated META which is configured by integrating and processing various traffic generated from one menu (or content, product) as one menu ID (or content ID, product ID), This may be transmitted to the sales management device 380 to calculate sales of related menus (contents and products).

Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may implement the present invention in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features thereof. I can understand that.

Therefore, since the embodiments described above are provided to completely inform the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art, it should be understood that they are exemplary in all respects and not limited. The invention is only defined by the scope of the claims.

The sales statistics system and method thereof according to the present invention can be usefully applied to a mobile communication technology providing a wireless Internet service.

In addition, the sales statistics system and method according to the present invention can unify and manage data call charges and information charges, which are heterogeneous billing elements of the wireless Internet service, and calculate sales statistics in various ways.
