In case of using the conventional mobile billing system, the details are generated through the mobile communication terminal and the personal computer (PC), and the generated details are linked with the database (DB) server of the customer information and the necessary information is settled. Networked in a way that works.

However, in the conventional billing system, accurate billing is difficult to measure, SMS (Short Message Service) and data usage history are not output, and settlement is difficult when details on the mobile communication terminal are deleted. In addition, when an error occurs in the customer information database, it is difficult to output immediately.

Therefore, in the conventional billing system, the history is deleted due to an unknown error after outputting the details from the customer information database. The billing system is not only settled at a unified rate but also takes time to output the details. Decreases the efficiency.

That is, when the billing system is used due to the above problems, the settlement is almost never made. This is because the settlement is done by the post-payment method, which does not take advantage of the billing system for the purpose of immediate settlement. . In addition, the manual settlement based on the data output from the database server at the time of the post-payment, but the above-mentioned problems are still not solved.

On the other hand, the positioning through the GPS (Global Positioning System) may not be confirmed the exact position near the border when the representation of the country used in the call list in the conventional system is a record through the network in the mobile communication terminal.

In terms of preservation of usage history, there is no way to recover the phone history when the phone history is deleted or disappears from the system. The storage function for all usages made it difficult to settle SMS and data usage in conventional systems.

In the conventional system, it is difficult to cope with a problem that occurs because it is not made of a system capable of interacting with a user in real time.

Therefore, the present invention was invented in view of the above-described circumstances, and it is necessary to minimize the errors occurring in the billing system, so that the preservation of the details of the smartphone user and the post settlement according to the change of various product configurations or fare policies are necessary. The purpose is to provide a smartphone roaming billing application system that can be accurately and immediately settled.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a mobile communication terminal capable of confirming accurate information through a user's exact location through a GPS function along with a location on a network generated by a user authentication module, and a call record including a user's SMS and data. Easy to settle the applications stored in the application, the interface server automatically saves the details stored in the application through 3G mobile communication (3G) or WIFI through real-time interworking, and the user's details stored in the interface server are immediately calculated through the wired or wireless network. It is characterized by being configured as a database server.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to compensate for the fact that the details are deleted by minimizing an error that may occur in the billing system.

In addition, the present invention can automatically save the details stored in the billing application through the real-time interworking between the interface server, the ease of preservation of the history, and the stored details can be immediately settled in the database server to increase the efficiency in the work.

The present invention collects information about a location that is mainly generated by the history stored in real time and detailed location information of the user generated through GPS, so that the user can quickly cope with a problem that may occur.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a smartphone roaming billing application system according to an embodiment of the present invention,
2 is a flowchart illustrating a smartphone roaming billing application system of the present invention.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a smartphone roaming billing application system according to an embodiment of the present invention, a smartphone, GPS (2), billing application (3) of the mobile communication terminal 1 is stored roaming billing program Network interface via a third generation mobile communication (3G) or interface server (4) via WIFI and a database server (5) via wired and wireless networks.

In addition to the location on the network generated by the user authentication module through the GPS function of the smart phone can accurately check the information through the exact location of the mobile communication terminal (1), billing applications including SMS and data of the user billing application (3 ) Is saving.

In the smartphone according to the GPS function, the country location and history of the application and the country, location and history of the application are specified. The details stored in the billing application 3 through 3G mobile communication (3G) or WIFI are automatically stored through real-time interworking between the interface servers (4).

 If you look at 3G mobile communication (3G) or WIFI smart phone operation, when you block 3G, the Internet can be used regardless of whether it is blocked in the WIFI zone. When you do not block 3G on your smartphone, when you leave the WIFI zone while using the Internet in the WIFI zone, you are leaving the zone and changing to a 3G plan. If the internet continues even if you leave the zone, you are using it for a fee. If 3G is blocked, the internet will not be available because the 3G service, which is the smartphone's own network, will be blocked when the Internet is left in the zone.

Even if the roaming details on the smartphone using the billing application 3 are deleted, the preservation is easy, and the roaming details of the user stored in the interface server 4 are immediately calculated through the database server 5 to the wired / wireless network. Settlement becomes easy.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a smartphone roaming billing application system of the present invention. The present invention is a smart phone roaming billing application system, which checks the user's roaming location through the GPS function of the smart phone as well as the country of use (CDR: Call Detail Record) that can not be confirmed from the existing call detail record (CDR) As a result, it can be used as data that can be improved in terms of service such as customer service and inability to call.

 Call records (including SMS and data) of a user who rents a smartphone of a mobile terminal are stored in a billing application, and the details stored in the billing application are automatically stored through real-time interworking between interface (IF) servers. Therefore, even when the roaming details on the smartphone are deleted, the preservation is easy, and the roaming details stored in the interface server are immediately calculated through the database server, thereby simplifying settlement.

In the GPS system of the present invention, when the representation of the country used in the call list in the conventional system is a record through the network in the terminal, the exact location may not be confirmed near the border, and the exact location is not confirmed to the region. On the other hand, the GPS function allows you to check the exact information about the location you used.

However, in the case of the system of the present invention, even if the roaming details of the smartphone are deleted, the roaming details of the application are stored and the stored roaming details are backed up to the interface server in real time, so that the preservation of the details is easy.

In the present invention, the storage of all the usage history can compensate for the difficulty of settlement of SMS and data use in the conventional system through the storage function of all the usage history.

In addition, the accurate settlement is performed through the database server of the wired / wireless network through the details stored in the application and the backup of the interface (IF) server. It can compensate for the disadvantages.

In the present invention, the efficiency of work is calculated in real time because the details are stored in the 3G mobile communication (3G) or the interface (IF) server via WIFI and the charges are automatically calculated through the database (DB) server of the wired and wireless network. It can make city work more efficient.
