The technical content disclosed by the invention can be covered.

Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a schematic architecture diagram of the mobile Internet data traffic purchase recommendation of the present invention, including: Internet 100; User 200, which is implemented through a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM card) The device uses the Internet 100; the telecommunications server 300 is a server set up by a telecommunications operator to record the use of the Internet by the user 200 The traffic information, network information and user data of the road 100, and the additional purchase traffic volume are generated for the user 200 to redeem.

In one embodiment, the Internet 100 is a 3G ~ 4G network, but not limited to this.

Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a flow chart of a method for recommending mobile Internet data traffic purchase according to the present invention. The method includes the following steps: in step S201, obtaining current data traffic information, historical data traffic information, and user data of a user's mobile Internet. Among them, the telecommunication server 300 obtains the user data of the user 200 and the current data flow information and historical data flow information of the user 200 using the Internet 100 on the mobile device through the SIM card.

The current data traffic information includes the available amount, used amount, remaining amount, used time and / or remaining time of the current charging cycle, but is not limited thereto.

The historical data flow information includes the average usage in the last n days, such as the amount used in the day, the average usage in the last 2 days, the average usage in the last 7 days, and / or the average usage in the last 30 days, but it is not limited to this.

The user information includes, but is not limited to, the user's door number, tariff plan, and / or service life.

In step S202, when the user meets the recommendation conditions, a recommendation formula is made based on the user's current data flow information and historical data flow information to estimate the required amount of recommended data purchase and its cost in the remaining time of the current billing cycle. Amount, in which, when the telecommunication server 300 judges that the user 200 meets the preset recommended conditions, the telecommunication server 300 is based on the user The current data flow information and historical data flow information of 200 are used to make a recommendation formula to estimate the recommended amount of data and the amount of data required for the remainder of the current billing cycle.

For example, the recommended condition is that the remaining data traffic of the current charging cycle of the user 200 is less than or equal to a critical value, where the critical value is a fixed value (for example, 100MB) or a relative value (for example, the current charging cycle). 20% of available data traffic).

The recommended formula in step S202 is explained as follows: the recommended purchase amount (D) of the data = the estimated average daily usage (AvgU) × the number of days remaining in the current billing cycle (d).

Among them, the estimated daily average usage (AvgU) is weighted by the historical average usage, and the formula is as follows: Estimated average daily usage , U _n n nearly daily average dosage, W _n is the weight average weight parameters used in an amount nearly n days, wherein U _n such as do not want to be counted in a few days, it may be set to correspond to 0 W _n.

For example, if you want to use the daily consumption U ₁ , the average daily usage U ₂ in the last 2 days, the average daily usage U ₇ in the last ₇ days, and the average daily usage U _{30 in the} last 30 days, with the appropriate weight parameters, the formula for estimating the average daily usage is as follows: AvgU = ( w ₁ U ₁ + w ₂ U ₂ + w ₇ U ₇ + w ₃₀ U ₃₀ ) / ( w ₁ + w ₂ + w ₇ + w ₃₀ )

By adjusting the w _n weight parameter, it can appropriately reflect whether to use the recent usage as the main estimation, or to focus on the previous historical usage.

Data recommendation plus purchase amount (A) = data recommendation plus purchase amount (D) × Price per unit (p) × discount (discount), where discount (discount) can be given to the high rate of fees or regular customers preferential treatment, but not limited to this.

In step S203, an additional purchase volume is generated based on the user profile, the data recommended additional purchase amount, and the cost amount. The telecommunication server 300 generates an additional purchase volume based on the user profile, the data recommended additional purchase amount, and the cost amount. Purchase volume. In an embodiment, the additional purchase volume is an electronic virtual volume, and the volume number of the additional purchase volume is composed of uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers, but is not limited thereto.

In step S204, the additional purchase volume is provided to the user, wherein the telecommunication server 300 transmits the additional purchase volume to the user 200 in a short message or an application (APP) push mode, but not in this way. Limited.

In step S205, the user uses the additional purchase volume to redeem or purchase the data to recommend additional purchase volume, wherein the additional purchase volume can be redeemed for the data to the telecommunication server 300 through a service website, application, text message, or customer service phone The recommended additional purchase amount, the telecommunication server 300 finds out the information about the recommended additional purchase volume and its cost amount by comparing the user's door number and the volume number of the additional purchase volume, and pays the information. After the payment of the amount of money, the user 200 immediately increases the amount of recommended data for online purchases.

In an embodiment, the additional purchase volume is limited to the user 200 within a limited period of time, and the recommended additional purchase amount of the data obtained by the conversion or purchase has a use period.

Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a flowchart of another method of different types of mobile Internet data traffic plus purchase recommendations of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the method in Figure 2 lies in the networking information, so the differences will be described below, and will not be redundant. Said the same thing.

In step S301, current data flow information, historical data flow information, network connection information, and user data of the user's mobile Internet access are obtained.

The networking information includes, but is not limited to, a service URL (URL), a host address (IP), and / or a transmission port (Port).

In step S302, when the user meets the recommendation conditions, the service recommendation formula is estimated based on the user's current data flow information and historical data flow information of the specific service in the network information to estimate the user's remaining time in the current billing cycle. The required data recommends the purchase amount and its cost amount.

The recommended condition is that the remaining data traffic of the user 200 in the current billing cycle is less than or equal to a critical value, and the used data traffic for a particular service is greater than or equal to the critical value.

The recommended formula in step S302 is explained as follows: recommended purchase amount (D) = estimated average daily usage of a specific service (SrvAvgU) × the number of days remaining in the current billing cycle (d).

The estimated daily average usage of a specific service (SrvAvgU) is weighted by the historical average usage of a specific service, and its formula is as follows: Estimate the average daily usage of a specific service , SU _n near a particular service n the daily average amount of, a particular service near SW _n n The average daily dosage of the weight parameter, such as a few days do not want to SU _n included in the calculation, it may be set to a corresponding SW _n 0 .

Want a particular service, for example, the date the amount of S U _1, the average daily dosage of nearly 3 SU _3, nearly 5 average amount SU _5, the average daily amount of nearly 7 SU ₇ with the appropriate weighting parameter estimation formula for the daily average amount of the following: SrvAvgU = ( sw ₁ SU ₁ + sw ₃ SU ₃ + sw ₅ SU ₅ + sw ₇ SU ₇ ) / ( sw ₁ + sw ₃ + sw ₅ + sw ₇ )

The adjustment of the sw _n weight parameter can appropriately reflect whether to use the recent usage as the main estimation, or to focus on the previous historical usage.

Recommended additional purchase cost (A) = recommended additional purchase (D) × price per unit (p) × discount (discount).

In one embodiment, the telecommunications operator collects the sponsorship fee for the data recommendation plus purchase amount from the supplier of the special service according to the agreement with the special service provider. Therefore, the telecommunications operator turns to the user for the amount of the recommendation plus purchase amount ( P) = [(recommended additional purchase amount (D) × price per unit (p) × discount (discount)]-sponsorship fee.

In step S303, a volume for adding purchases is generated based on the user profile, the recommended purchase amount and the amount of expenses of the data.

In an embodiment, the additional purchase volume is limited to the specific service, wherein the specific service is a specific website address, host address, and / or transmission port that the user visits to access the Internet.

In step S304, the additional purchase volume is provided to the user.

In step S305, the user uses the additional purchase volume to redeem or purchase the data to recommend an additional purchase amount.

The following will explain the method steps shown in Figure 3 with a practical situation: Gamer A cooperates with telecommunications operator B to sponsor the traffic of its users to play games online. Gamer A provides the host of the game server in advance. Information such as address and transmission port is provided to telecommunication operator B. When user C moves online to play game A's game (that is, a specific service), telecommunication operator B can immediately determine whether user C is playing the game.

Taking user C's available data traffic of 1GB per month (per billing cycle) as an example, the telecommunications operator can set the recommended conditions as follows: (1) the remaining data traffic is less than or equal to 20% of the available data traffic (the remaining data traffic of user C is less than 200MB or more) and (2) 60% of the available data traffic used to play the game (the data traffic used by user C to play the game is 600MB or more), when the above conditions are met, telecommunication operator B may Immediately estimate the recommended additional purchase amount and cost amount of data required by user C for the rest of the month.

Assuming that data telecom operators B switch or using the accounting system of the day the amount of user C play the game statistics of SU ₁ is 200MB, nearly 3 daily average amount SU ₃ is 130MB, nearly 5, the average amount of SU ₅ is 100MB, nearly On the 7th, the average usage SU ₇ is 80MB. In order to appropriately reflect the most recent usage estimates, telecommunication operator B sets the daily usage weight parameter sw ₁ for the game to be 10, and the average usage weight parameter sw ₃ for the last 3 days is 7, The average usage weight parameter sw _{5 in the} last 5 days is 5, and the average usage weight parameter sw _{7 in the} last 7 days is 3, so the estimated daily average usage in the future is (200 × 10 + 130 × 7 + 100 × 5 + 80 × 3) / (10 + 7 + 5 + 3) = 146MB.

Assume that the remaining days of the current month (current billing cycle) are 10 days. Telecom operator B can immediately recommend user C to purchase 146 * 10 = 1460MB of additional game-specific traffic (that is, the recommended purchase amount of data), assuming that the unit price per MB is 1. Yuan, if gamer A and telecom operator B agree to sponsor 30% of the amount, it can be recommended User C purchases 1460MB of data at a price of 1022 (1460 × 1 × 0.7) yuan, and the other 438 (1460-1022) yuan is charged by telecom operator B to game player A.

Telecommunications operator B generates additional purchase volume based on user C's data, the game-specific traffic (that is, the recommended purchase volume of data) and its cost amount, and transmits the coupon number of the additional purchase volume to SMS or APP push broadcast to User C.

The voucher number is unique, and can correspond to the information such as the recommended purchase amount, fee amount, purchase period, restricted games (that is, specific services) and other information, and the restriction can only be redeemed by user C. Telecom operator B can Set this additional purchase volume to be redeemed within a limited period. For example, it is valid within 3 days, and it will be invalid if it is not redeemed after the time limit. After 3 days until the end of the month, telecommunications operator B can make the latest recommended addition based on the above conditions and formulas. Purchase volume.

If user C wants to increase the purchase flow, he can use the additional purchase flow coupon to exchange (purchase) the recommended flow (that is, the data recommended purchase amount) within the limited period, and after telecommunication operator B pays the amount of the fee, Immediately help user C increase the online data traffic that can use the game.

In addition, the methods shown in Figures 2 and 3 can be used together, that is, when the specific conditions (such as network information) are met, the method shown in Figure 3 will be entered, otherwise the method shown in Figure 2 will be entered Method to provide users with more meta recommendations.

It can be known from the above that the method for adding and purchasing mobile Internet data traffic according to the present invention is based on the user's mobile Internet usage behavior and consumption traffic, and estimates for the specific service and no specific service customization for the remaining time of the current billing cycle. You must purchase additional traffic volume, customers can use the Internet to act on their own.
