Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of pre-paid telephone systems, and more particularly, to pre-paid telephone cards.
  • Such pre-paid telephone systems usually rely on pre-paid telephone cards which enable a user to conveniently pay for telephone calls from mobile, public or residential telephones.
  • a pre-paid phone card has a substrate such as paper, paperboard or plastic imprinted with indicia such as a pre-printed personal identification num- ber (PIN) which can be covered by a removable opaque coating.
  • PIN personal identification num- ber
  • a pre-paid phone card user purchases the phone card either directly or indirectly from a telephone service provider for a fixed amount of money.
  • the telephone service provider maintains a central computer system which correlates the pre-printed voucher number and the cash value or a fixed time usage value associated with the phone card and monitors usage of the card.
  • the remaining value of the phone card is automatically debited by the central computer and/or by adjusting a representation of value on the card, until the cash value associated with the card is exhausted.
  • Pre-paid telephone services are particularly popular in GSM mobile telephony systems.
  • One example is the D2-CallYa product of Vodaphone (www.d2vodaphone.de/callya):
  • a customer purchases a pre-paid telephone card having a scratch field with a voucher number being covered by a remov- able wax layer.
  • the customer needs to call a service-telephone number from its mobile phone and enters the voucher number after having removed the wax layer. This way the customer's pre-paid account is credited.
  • US patent no. 6,134,309 shows a pre-paid phone card system with a promotional link.
  • the phone card has a substrate such as paper, paper board or plastic, a personal identification number (PIN) which can be covered by a removable opaque coating and machine readable indicia such as a bar code or magnetic strip used to link the phone card to a lottery game.
  • PIN personal identification number
  • Users purchase the pre-paid phone card for a fixed fee which entitles the user to a set amount of long distance phone service and a promotional lottery ticket.
  • the present invention provides for a pre-paid telephone card having an optical recording medium.
  • a voucher number is applied on a surface of the optical recording medium. It is a particular advantage of the present invention that the pre-paid telephone card serves a dual purpose: It carries a pre-paid voucher number and at the same time serves as a storage medium for data.
  • a protective layer such as an ink layer or an adhesive tape, is disposed on the surface of the opti- cal recording medium.
  • the protective layer carries the voucher number.
  • a removable layer which covers the voucher number.
  • the removable layer is a wax layer. This way a so called “scratch field" is constituted on the optical recording medium.
  • the optical recording medium is of the CD or DVD-type. It is as such known from the prior art to produce CDs of any shape, such as circular shape, rectangular shape or any other free form shape. It is also as such known to print information on the surface of the optical recording medium which is opposite to the substrate. Such printing techniques are known from US patent no. 5,518,325, US patent no. 5,317,337, US patent no. 5,972,457, US patent no. 6,019,151 and US patent no. 5,797,688.
  • the protective layer is disposed on the surface of the print layer which is applied on the optical recording medium.
  • the invention provides for a method for providing content for a pre-paid telephone card.
  • a content provider needs to connect to a server computer via a computer network, such as the Internet, in order to access a website.
  • the content provider interactively selects an edition of pre-paid telephone cards which are scheduled for later production and enters content into the server computer.
  • the pre-paid telephone cards of the selected edition are manufactured, the content is stored on the optical recording medium of the cards.
  • the content can be of any type, such as advertisements, product information, computer software for telephony or other applications, text, audio and / or video files.
  • the content provider has the option to select the entire storage capacity of the optical re- cording medium or predefined storage capacities of varying size.
  • the available storage capacity of the optical recording medium is divided into categories A, B and C, where each category corresponds to a certain amount of mega bytes.
  • the storage capacity which has been selected by the content provider can be filled up by the content provider with content, such as multi media contents, company profile, brochures, annual reports or any advertising materials.
  • the content can be entirely generated by the content provider; alternatively the content provider can utilize one or more templates which he or she can fill up with specific content.
  • templates are provided which are specific for one or more editions of the pre-paid telephone cards. For example, before Christmas time one or more templates with Christmas themes can be provided on the website or for other events like national holidays, sports, religious or cultural events.
  • an internet platform for the booking of advertisement space on the pre-paid telephone cards of the invention.
  • Advertises can access the internet platform for selection of an edition of the pre-paid telephone cards and for selection of storage capacity.
  • the advertiser has the option to select the entire space on the recording medium of the pre-paid telephone card or to select a certain fraction of the total storage capacity.
  • the advertiser uploads advertisement content to the internet platform which is to be stored on the pre-paid telephone cards.
  • the content can be entirely user provided. Alternatively the user can select from one or more templates which he can use as a basis for the layout of the advertisement content. This is especially useful for smaller companies who do not have a large advertisement budget.
  • the content data to be stored on the pre-paid telephone cards is provided to a manufactur- ing facility for the production of the optical recording media of the selected edition of the pre-paid telephone cards.
  • the voucher number can be provided by any standard voucher management software product.
  • the voucher management can be a part of the internet platform. In this case both the content data and the voucher numbers are provided from the internet platform to the manufacturing facility. Alternatively the voucher numbers are provided from the telecommunication operator who has booked the edition of the pre-paid telephone cards.
  • a removable layer is applied in order to cover the secret voucher number.
  • the pre-paid telephone cards are then distributed to customers.
  • a customer who has purchased a pre-paid telephone card needs to remove the layer which covers the voucher number in order to access the voucher number.
  • the customer removes the layer by scratching away the wax.
  • the protective layer carrying the voucher number protects the optical recording medium from damage during this mechanical removal.
  • the customer may then activate the amount of credit associated with the voucher number by calling a service number from his mobile phone and entering the voucher number.
  • the user may also access the data which are stored on the optical recording medium which is incorporated in the pre-paid telephone card.
  • the customer can insert the pre-paid telephone card into a corresponding optical reader device of its computer in order to render the content which is stored on the pre-paid telephone card.
  • the content can be of any nature, such as audio, video and / or graphics and text files.
