Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for billing orders made from the Internet through a telephone network, by means of the telephone bill of the telephone connection used to place the order.
  • billing for transactions carried out through data networks takes place, for example through credit card companies.
  • the recipient of the payment is notified of the customer's credit card number through the Internet.
  • Alternative methods of payment include C.O.D., rechargeable electronic cash, or special billing based on log files in Internet servers.
  • rechargeable electronic cash When rechargeable electronic cash is used for payment, the customer opens an account in the recipient's system and deposits a desired sum in the account. The price of goods ordered, for example, service goods, is deducted from the balance of the customer's account.
  • Special billing based on log files operates by a separate bill for products being sent to the person ordering them. In this type of payment, billing generally takes place after delivery of the products and the system usually demands a prior billing agreement to be made between those making and receiving the payment.
  • Payment based on notification of a credit card number involves the risk to the customer of the number becoming known to outside parties. Due to cases of misuse, this risk is now well known and data transfer encryption has been developed in an attempt to eliminate it. Beside possible misuse, credit card billing has the drawback that the lack of a credit card may prevent purchases by many potential consumers, especially young people. Billing through credit card companies is also not economical for very cheap products.
  • Rechargeable electronic cash and billing based on log files also have difficult limitations.
  • Rechargeable electronic cash requires the customer to make a sufficient deposit to cover future purchases. All consumers may not however be willing to commit themselves to product suppliers, while the making of deposits may be experienced as difficult and unpleasant.
  • Billing using rechargeable electronic cash also prevents impulse purchases from being made from several suppliers. Nor can billing based on log files be used for impulse purchases in new customer relationships. This form of payment also requires prior agreements and mutual trust between the parties to a transaction.
  • Log file billing uses a separate billing routine for monetary transactions, which is an expensive way to bill small sums.
  • Ericsson's application publication WO 97/29584 describes a method using a terminal device and a telephone network to purchase goods and services from a data network. It is particularly applicable if the Internet connection is made through a telephone system operator. In the method, data on the telephone connection used by the terminal device and on the vendor of the goods are identified, the identified data then being combined to bill the purchase from the connection used by the purchaser.
  • Ericsson's method is based on giving the customer a temporary IP address for the duration of the contact and then linking the IP address to the device location code in the telephone exchange. Thus, the temporary IP address is linked to the customer's Calling Line Identity.
  • the person placing the order is identified by his/her temporary IP address and linked to the supplier through the supplier's IP address code.
  • the present invention is intended to eliminate these defects in the prior art and to create an entirely new kind of method, in which the total amounts of orders made through a data network are added to the telephone bill for the telephone connection used to place the order.
  • the present invention does not use pulses as the basis of billing. Instead, the billing method allows unrestricted generation of the bill. In this case, billing takes place preferably on a so-called "AMA-ticket basis".
  • AMA-ticket- based billing can be implemented by creating a virtual phone call in an SSP exchange, thus permitting billing data to be sent from an SCP database to the SSP exchange.
  • a Core-INAP FCI Frnish Charging Information
  • the SCP database gives a command to the SSP exchange to make a telephone connection to the exchange's internal IP device. For example, this allows the generation of an AMA-ticket to be sent with the aforementioned command based on the FCI message.
  • flexible billing can take place through billing messages. Billing for a service will then take place by sending, from the SCP 23 to the SSP 21, an SCI message 9 defining the contents of the billing message that will be sent from the SSP 21 in the calling subscriber's direction.
  • the invention described above allows services and goods available for purchase from the Internet through a telephone connection to be billed simply and precisely, even if the total amounts are very large, or are less than a single charging pulse.
  • a further problem with the method described in publication WO 97/29584 is that the customer's temporary IP address is used for customer identification in data transfer through the Internet.
  • Such a use of an IP address involves, in principle, a risk that an external party may hijack the temporary IP address in data network traffic and use it to defraud.
  • One versed in the art can easily hijack an IP address and though it is illegal to forge an IP address and use it to generate bills to someone else, nevertheless the risk exists.
  • the present invention is also intended to eliminate this defect in the prior art and to create an entirely new type of method for identifying a user during transactions made over a data network through a telephone network.
  • the present invention is also based on linking the Calling Line Identity transmitted by a telecommunications network and the username known to the Internet, once contact has been made with the Internet call series.
  • a service used on, or a product ordered from the Internet can be billed by using the Calling Line Identity linked to the Internet username as a basis for transmitting the total amount to be billed to the SCP.
  • Data transferred over a public data network between the Internet operator and the vendor can, in principle, be observed by an external party. However, the data can be encrypted using a method approved by the parties, e.g. the so-called public-key method.
  • the aforesaid invention considerably reduces the risk of misuse if a telephone bill is used to bill for services and goods purchased from the Internet through a telephone connection.
  • Security is improved by the fact that it is not necessary to use the IP address used by the customer to identify the customer outside the telephone operator's system.
  • Security is also improved by the fact that highly effective encryption methods, which are not necessarily available to private consumers, can be used in a connection through a public data network.
  • ICA and FCI messages refer to ICA and FCI operators according to Core- INAP specifications.
  • this reference refers to other similar operators as messages for the sake of clarity, especially when the message character of the operator is emphasized.

  • Other components of the system are the telecommunications network SSP exchange 21, an Internet modem pool 22, an SCP database 23 and a verification database 24, as well as the Internet 25.
  • Use of the billing method comprises the following stages:
  • connection 20 e.g. using a modem or ISDN modem
  • connection 20 e.g. using a modem or ISDN modem
  • the basic charge can be e.g. 15 p/min + local call charge, the destination number being the real number of the Internet modem pool 22.
  • the call is connected to the Internet modem pool 22, after which the user gives his/her username and password, which permit connection to the Internet contact service.
  • connection 20 is identified on the basis of the Calling Line Identity.
  • Database 24 transfers information on the transaction to SCP database 23, in order to bill the connection 20.
  • the SCP database 23 uses ICA and Continue messages to command SSP exchange 21 to make a telephone connection. At the same time, it sends an FCI (Furnish Charging Information) message to SSP exchange 21. In addition, the SCP database requests the SSP exchange 21 to report on the success of the call, and for this purpose sends a further RequestReportBCSM message.

If the user's data are found in database 24 (the Calling Line Identity corresponds to the username) and the user has not, for example, exceeded any use limit set for each billing period or order, database 24 informs the service producer that the payment can be billed, and simultaneously sends the information to SCP 23 for billing 7 the caller. In principle, use limits can be specific to either the username or the telephone connection or even to a combination of both.
  • database 24 informs the service producer that billing cannot be accepted. The same procedure can be followed, if the user is on a so-called black list, due to unpaid bills. If billing is rejected, information for billing 7 is not transferred to the SCP 23.
  • Pulse-based billing for a service or product is implemented by a Core-INAP SCI message (Send Charging Information) 9.
  • SCP 23 can freely send one or more such SCI messages 9 to SSP 21.
  • SCI messages 9 permit not only individual metering pulses, i.e. MPM messages 11, to be transmitted, but charge events to be altered.
  • a system can also be constructed to use an SCI message 9 to control the tariff data of the so-called metering messages.
  • 1 - 15 pulses can be defined as chargeable within a single SCI message 9.
  • the SSP exchange 21 then sends a corresponding Metering Pulse Message (MPM) 11, containing the aforesaid number of pulses, in the direction of the A subscriber.
  • MPM Metering Pulse Message

  • the SSP exchange 21 then sends corresponding metering messages 11 in the direction of the A subscriber:
  • a service can also be billed by using the SCI message 9 to momentarily switch the charge, already generated by SSP exchange 21, in the direction of the A subscriber 20. This takes place by first using SCI message 9 to send a new train charge event from SCP 23 to SSP 21, and then immediately after by bringing the old charge event into force by a new SCI message 9.
  • SCP 23 can first send SSP 21 a message 9, in which the charge event commands it to send a 61 -pulse train in the direction of the A subscriber 20. Immediately after this, SCP 23 sends SSP 21 a new SCI message 9, in which the original charge event is given as the charge event.

Abstract

Le procédé de l'invention repose sur le principe suivant: lorsqu'un réseau de données comme Internet (25) est utilisé par un opérateur téléphonique, les services et les produits mis à la vente sur Internet (25) peuvent être facturés conjointement avec la facturation de l'opérateur téléphonique. Selon le procédé de l'invention, la connexion de l'appelant (20) au réseau de télécommunications est assurée sur un réseau intelligent, comme, par exemple, un central à commutateur d'accès aux services (SSP) (21), de sorte qu'une base de données PCS (23) puisse influer sur la facturation d'un appel, même rétroactivement. Le procédé de l'invention est également basé sur le principe de liaison de l'identité numérique A émise par le réseau de télécommunications et le nom-utilisateur connu sur Internet (25), lors de l'établissement d'une connexion à une série d'appels Internet (22). Dans ce cas, la facturation d'un service utilisé ou d'un produit commandé sur Internet (25) peut s'effectuer par la transmission du montant total à facturer au PCS (23), en fonction de l'identité numérique A correspondant au nom-utilisateur Internet.
