UA98613U - METHOD OF TRANSMITTING OF OUTPUT RELEASES OF SUBSCRIPTION WITHOUT AIR TIME OR SUBSCRIBER HAVING LACK OF BALANCE IN MOBILE NETWORKS - Google Patents

Abstract

A method of transmitting outbound subscriber information without airtime or having an unbalanced subscriber in mobile networks, which is to obtain network access to each subscriber A with the ability to receive calls and / or messages and initiate outbound calls to another subscriber B followed by disconnection of the call due to lack of airtime or insufficient balance for this type of service. Disconnecting the initial call of subscriber A is carried out through the switching center on the basis of formation in the billing system of a bar code, which ensures disconnection of subscriber A from this network, and simultaneously with the formation of a bar code in the billing system, a request is made for the external equipment of the network of subscriber A, by which make a call link to the subscriber B network and initiate the connection closure.

Description

The specified useful model belongs to the means of telecommunications and, in particular, concerns various services provided by operators in mobile communication networks, and more precisely - methods of transmitting information about outgoing calls of a subscriber without airtime or a subscriber who has insufficient balance in mobile communication networks "link"

A fairly well-known service provided to users of mobile communication networks is the so-called "rge-raij zeguise", according to which access to the network is interrupted immediately when the subscriber's incapacity is detected. But every call that is blocked due to insufficient balance is actually a potential loss of airtime and, accordingly, of the mobile operator's profits.

In order to overcome the existing problem, a solution is proposed, described, for example, in application 05 20040192359, according to which subscribers who are found to have an insufficient balance in their rge-raii account and/or whose funds are completely absent in this account are given the opportunity to continue using the network, but only for sending (mostly free)

ЗМ5-message "call me back" to another subscriber. However, with such a system for delivery

ЗМ5-message the network of the calling subscriber pays the network of the called subscriber for the interconnection (interconnect). In addition, only 5Mo5-messages are not always actively used by subscribers.

The method of transmitting information of outgoing calls of a subscriber who has insufficient balance to other subscribers has more advanced functional capabilities described in the patent of VO, 2361369.

According to this known method, the network is constructed in such a way that each user is given the opportunity to receive calls and/or receive messages from callers at the corresponding network telephone number and to receive network access for outgoing calls regardless of the status of his account, while such user network can accept calls and/or receive messages without prepaid airtime or a valid credit account, and outgoing calls from a network user's phone without credit or airtime are disconnected after a pre-set number of rings, thereby creating for the intended recipient of the missed call message.

Although this known method allows for automatic disconnection of the source

From a call from a user who does not have credit, using switching centers connected to the billing center for this purpose, but the communication system itself is configured in such a way that when determining that the subscriber making the call is a user without airtime or who does not have of a valid credit account, the switching center changes the call establishment characteristics, ensuring that outgoing calls of this user are disconnected after a predetermined number of calls. Such a decision, in addition to providing additional services attractive to users of mobile communication networks, also allows to receive additional income for the operators of the calling subscribers, due to their receipt of interconnection fees.

However, in such a system, for example, due to an error in the processing of signal messages or a failure of the service logic, the event will be charged after the fact, which may lead to the emergence of negative balances, the problems of which the operator must take care of.

The useful model is based on the task of creating such a method of transmitting information about outgoing calls of a subscriber who makes a call, without airtime or who has insufficient balance, in mobile communication networks, in which, due to the possibility of forming in the billing system itself, a prohibited code that ensures the disconnection of the calling subscriber from this network, and also due to the simultaneous formation of a request to external equipment, with the help of which the call is referred to the terminal of the called subscriber and the connection closure is initiated, it is possible to eliminate the occurrence of a negative balance in the subscriber's network , which calls, and preserve the ability to extend interconnections for this network.

The task is solved by the fact that in the method of transmitting information of outgoing calls of a subscriber without airtime or a subscriber who has insufficient balance in mobile communication networks, which consists in obtaining network access to each subscriber A with the ability to receive calls and/or messages and initiate outgoing calls to another subscriber

B with the subsequent disconnection of the call due to the lack of airtime or insufficient balance for this type of service, according to the claimed useful model, the disconnection of the outgoing call of subscriber A is carried out through the switching center based on the formation of a prohibition code in the billing system, which ensures disconnection subscriber A from this network. In addition, simultaneously with the formation of the prohibition code in the billing system, according to the useful model, a request is made to the external equipment of the network of subscriber A, with the help of which the call link is made to the network of subscriber B and the connection closure is initiated.

Such execution of the method that is claimed allows to exclude the possibility of a negative balance in subscriber A, since its disconnection (disconnection) from the network is carried out immediately according to the prohibition code of the billing system when the lack of airtime or insufficient balance is detected. In addition, since at the same time as the blocking code is generated inside the billing system, a request is sent to the external equipment, which is used to link the call to the network of subscriber B, the possibility of expanding inter-network connections and receiving additional income due to the interconnect remains.

Next, the essence of the useful model is explained by a detailed description of the preferred example of the implementation of the claimed method with reference to the drawing, which shows the step-by-step passage of control signals during the transmission of information of outgoing calls of subscriber A without airtime or a subscriber who has insufficient balance in mobile communication networks using the possible telecommunication equipment.

As shown in the drawing, the step-by-step operations in this Example of implementing the method in accordance with the claimed utility model are carried out in the following order: 1. Subscriber A, being under the BS1 (Base Station 1) zone, which is controlled by the CBS 1 (Base Station Controller) connected to of switch 1, initiates a call to Subscriber B. 2. Switch 1 accepts a request to establish a connection and initiates a request to the CCS (Center

Control of Services).

Z. The CCS sends a request to the Central Bank (Billing Center) to check the capacity and state of the account (balance) of Subscriber A. 4. After applying the logic of the Central Bank, normalizing data, applying tariff plans, the Central Bank forms a prohibition code for the continuation of this transaction, sending the result to the Central Bank 5. Initiating a message to subscriber A about the lack of funds includes the execution of sub-operations 5.1-5.4, according to which the CSC initiates an auxiliary dialogue using a temporary connection through Switch 1 with Aviar to inform Subscriber A about the impossibility of using the voice call service due to insufficient balance on the account Subscriber

A. 6. Based on the prohibition code of the transaction from the Central Bank, the Central Bank initiates the closure of both logical and

From the voice dialogue between the switchboard 1 and the CCS and, accordingly, between Subscriber A and the operator's network (6.1). 7. BC, using the result of the transaction (authorization, possibility of using the service) and the configuration of the service, initiates a request to the STD/MP (Telecom Add-on Server/Media platform) at the pre-configured address (and exchange data format). 8. STD, after checking the integrity of the data, the availability of resources to perform the operation, informs the BC with the transaction code. 9. STD, physically connected to Switch 2, initiates a call to subscriber B. 10. Having determined the location and state of Subscriber B, Switch 2 informs STD with the corresponding operation 10.1. 11. Making a call to subscriber B (steps 10 and 11 are carried out in parallel). 12. STD initiates closing the logical and physical connection with Subscriber B. 13. Confirmation of closing the dialog from switch 2.

Thus, the proposed implementation scheme of the claimed method allows providing, in parallel with the steps of notification of a low balance and disconnection of the calling subscriber A, from the network, as well as the direction of the request to the server of telecommunications applications, with the help of which the call is referred to the terminal of the called subscriber, B and closing the connection with it is initiated. And as a result, this method makes it possible to ensure that subscriber A does not have a negative balance and at the same time implement a communication service with subscriber B that is beneficial for subscriber A's network.
