Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a wireless data providing method and apparatus, and more particularly, to a wireless data providing method and apparatus, in which a company (franchise, agency, etc.) purchases a large amount of wireless data usage amount in bulk form from a mobile communication company, (Or credits) to the user.
In general, mobile communication subscribers can use wireless data communication, and subscribers are limited in the amount of data that can be used within a predetermined period according to the subscription plan product. Subscribers' data service availability varies from 100MByte to unlimited, depending on the rate plan, but only a few users have unlimited or large data rate plans. Therefore, in the age of high-definition content based on high-speed communication such as LTE, there are many cases where the data consumption capacity is insufficient, and there is a customer need to solve the data shortage quickly in such cases. To this end, data utilization services such as data gifts or device data sharing services are being launched, and the number of subscribers currently used is increasing.
However, in order to use additional data other than the designated capacity, it is necessary to pay relatively expensive billing and purchasing inconvenience, wait until next month's data is charged, or connect only with WiFi. In other words, it does not satisfy customer demands for immediate performance and economical efficiency. In order to use additional data besides the data capacity provided by the subscription plan itself, it is possible that the subscriber can be made available by paying the additional fee or receiving the data of the subscriber of the friend or family member. The processing process according to the doctor / consent is needed.
For this reason, it is difficult to voluntarily utilize the data capacity at low cost or free of charge, and a voluntary provision relationship between subscribers using the service is required. In addition, the conventional gift service or the additional charge service as described above must be called by directly calling a customer center program application, a PC environment, or a customer center, and authentication is required in the process. As a result, If additional data is needed immediately, it is difficult to utilize and there is a possibility of a negative data transaction.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for enabling a company or the like to provide a credit for using wireless data to a customer after purchasing wireless data capacity in bulk in advance.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for providing a credit indicating a wireless data usage amount to a selected customer after a company or the like selects a credit transmission destination based on a location.

In one embodiment, the wireless data buyer is a buyer who has purchased bulk wireless data usage from a mobile communication carrier.
In one embodiment, the wireless data usage available via the credit is configurable by the wireless data buyer.
In one embodiment, the step of providing the user with wireless data usage amount based on the credit may further include a step of subtracting the wireless data usage amount provided to the user from the total wireless data amount possessed by the wireless data purchaser.
In one embodiment, the step of transmitting the credits may transmit the advertisement message of the wireless data buyer associated with the credit.
In one embodiment, the step of selecting the target mobile communication terminal includes selecting at least one target terminal to which the credit is to be transmitted according to a condition set by the wireless data buyer among the mobile communication terminals located in the set region range . ≪ / RTI >
In one embodiment, the method may further comprise the step of the mobile communication terminal user obtaining the credit by tagging the NFC tag provided by the wireless data buyer.
A wireless data providing apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention collects information on a mobile communication terminal located in a local area set by a wireless data purchaser and transmits the wireless data buyer information and a credit including wireless data usage amount information that can be provided A credit transfer object selection unit for selecting a terminal; A credit transmission unit for transmitting the credit to the selected mobile communication terminal; An authentication processor for authenticating the user of the mobile communication terminal and the credit if the request for using wireless data based on the credit is received from the mobile communication terminal; And a credit managing unit for providing the user authenticated by the authentication processing unit with wireless data usage based on the authenticated credit.
In one embodiment, the credit management unit may also subtract the amount of wireless data used by the user from the total amount of wireless data held by the wireless data purchaser after providing the wireless data usage amount based on the credit to the user.
The credit transmitting unit may transmit the advertisement message of the wireless data buyer associated with the credit together with the credit.
In one embodiment, the credit transmission destination selecting unit may select at least one or more target terminals to which the credit is to be transmitted according to a condition set by the wireless data buyer among the mobile communication terminals located in the set range.
