The method of charging for a paid Internet content or service

The invention relates to a method for charging an Internet content or service according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a method collects 5 debit authorizations for the use of paid content or services on the Internet, which can be passed on to the mobile operator's billing system. Charging authorizations are determined by the customer's separate terminal, such as a mobile station, regardless of the terminal used to establish an Internet connection.

10 Such a method is utilized in the provision of paid Internet services. Such Internet services may, for example, be the making available of content such as text, images, audio-visual material or other intangible assets or the transmission of tangible goods. Intemet Service Provider means an entity that provides Internet services.

In prior art methods, charging is generally based on either the use of premium rate numbers or credit card billing.

When using a premium rate service number, the person who intends to pay for: '' 20 content on the Internet must make a payment by calling the dedicated service provider's dedicated number: · In Finland such numbers are ...: eg 0700 numbers. The call typically costs the caller 20-60 FIM / call in addition to the local network charge (local date). The caller will be charged for the call by his or her telephone • · »bill.

t «'···' 25,., In return for calling a telephone number, the caller may have access, for example, to a user» «>» ;;; ID and password to access the paid content or service through the appropriate website. The username and password can be a one-time use, '·' · · * so that the username and password expire when the user exits the internet- '·; · '30 pages. Your username and password may also be valid for a certain period of time, eg 6 hours 'from the time of the call or until the end of the current calendar day. In some'. ·: Solutions, the user constantly has the same username and password; in which case the user has to visit 2,109,386 at regular intervals to add more credit to his account, for example, by making a FIM 60 service call.

In addition, there are credit card charge based solutions in which the user enters their 5 credit card numbers if they wish to pay for content or service on the Internet at an additional cost. These solutions work just like online shopping; The item you are buying is not just a specific product but a service.

The prior art also comprises methods of adding the amount to be charged to the telephone bill of a subscription using a 10 internet connection over a telephone network. This method can be used when a customer's Internet connection is established over a telephone network. The customer is connected to the Internet via a telephone network, which is permanently connected to the Internet. The Internet operator, through a telephone network, provides paid and free internet services to its customer, who pays a certain amount for the telephone connection in addition to the local network charge. When a customer uses a paid service, the associated charges will be charged to the customer's telephone bill.

A problem with prior art is the complexity of service number charging and the rigidity of 20 transactions. The customer must always call the service number itself and »·»:,:: write down the new username and password. This makes especially small, ..!; 'It is virtually impossible to charge transactions of a few markka * 1 on a transaction-by-transaction basis. On the other hand, for example, a FIM 60 per 24-hour call price for a right to a particular content or service may be too expensive to attract all 25 potential users if they were just interested in trying out the service for a few marks. . It is also possible that the user pays for 60 ;;; mk access if he has problems with his home PC. *; 'To get the content or service you want from the Internet. For example, the problem may be that · :. * the user's PC suddenly lacks the correct software or the Internet connection is too I | t '· ·' 30 slow to access content. Also, premium rate numbers are not suitable for debiting large amounts, such as more than FIM 100, since the user charges:. '· I is based on counting pulses in service numbers and relaying large numbers of pulses reliably over a telephone network requires long calls. Frequently the limit is set at j 3 109386 FIM 1 / second. In this way, charging a call fee of FIM 100 would require a minimum of 1 minute and 40 seconds.

Credit card solutions again have the disadvantage of their security. Many 5 users are reluctant to enter a credit card number on the internet, especially for a service provided from abroad. On the other hand, the service provider may question whether the credit card number provided by the user exists at all and, if so, whether it is his own or has been obtained by some fraudulent means. In addition, the service provider does not have the usual credit card document signed by the customer, so the service provider does not have 10 concrete receipts to prove their debit authorization. If the customer denies having authorized the service provider to debit his credit card account, it is difficult for the service provider to prove that the authorization has taken place.

The problem with billing methods where the internet operator charges the customer for 15 paid internet services by adding the amount to the customer's telephone bill is that the method can only be used when an internet connection is established over the telephone. In addition, this method will always charge the natural or legal person whose telephone connection is used to establish the Internet connection. With this method, the customer cannot easily access paid internet services: '': 20 at least for their own account, for public terminals such as libraries' internet access *. · '· Through busy computers, acquaintances, or through their employer.

...: The customer can solve some of the problems associated with this method by connecting * * their wireless mobile device, eg to an acquaintance or their employer, and • · · '· · ·' using this wireless mobile device to establish an Internet connection. In this case, the problem is the relatively high cost of the mobile connection and possibly the slowness of data transmission.

It is an object of the invention to provide a charging method for paid Internet services that is both flexible and secure. In addition, the charging method must be '·; · '30 independent of the type of Internet connection and ownership of the telephone, mobile or Internet connection used to access Internet services'.

4, 109386

The invention is based on the fact that the customer authorizes the service provider to charge the service through a mobile device or a wireless terminal. After finding an interesting service on the Internet, the customer registers with their mobile device or wireless terminal. Upon registration, the customer authorizes the service provider to send him 5 debit authorization forms. After registering, the customer can log in to the service provider's web site using a web browser and indicate that he or she wants to use a particular service or content. In practice, logging is done, for example, by entering a mobile or terminal subscriber's subscriber number in a text field at a web site. The service provider then sends an electronic debit authorization form to the customer's mobile or wireless terminal based on the previous registration. The form shall indicate the name and price of the service in question and any other information such as the duration of the service at that price. The customer chooses either the rejection or the approval option from the form and returns the form to the service provider. If the answer given in the 15 returned forms is positive, the service provider transmits the desired internet content or implements the desired service. Charging occurs when the mobile operator whose subscription the subscriber uses when registering, receiving and sending the debit authorization form identifies the information on the return debit authorization form, i.e. the price charged and: · *: 20 acceptance or rejection of the debit authorization. Based on this information _ · '; the mobile operator will bill the customer at the time of the mobile billing and will deliver the 'I ·' fee (or part of the fee depending on the contract) to the service provider.

The customer will usually register with the individual service provider's destination '. ·. 25 only once, after which he can repeatedly log in to that provider's Internet site and subscribe to the services.

Thus, the invention allows the mobile operator to provide services on the one hand to service providers in the form of a charging service and on the other hand to mobile or terminal customers in the form of a payment service.

: _ '·: In preferred embodiments, the client's wireless terminal is e.g.

A mobile device that supports WAP or UMTS technology.

More specifically, the method of the invention is characterized in what is set forth in the characterizing part of claim 1.

The invention provides considerable advantages.

The invention enables very small charges to be charged in a cost-effective and user-friendly manner. Once a user has registered with his or her mobile device or wireless device and entered the subscriber number of his / her subscription in the field provided on the web page 10, he / she may be continuously requested to acknowledge small payments, for example FIM 1-5. For the Internet service provider, this opens up new opportunities, as it is now easy to charge a price of FIM 3 for listening to a single song. Whenever a user wants to listen to more songs, they always become a debit authorization form on the user's mobile device or terminal.

In this way, the user can also easily be charged for time-based Internet content. For example, watching a music video could cost FIM 5 / starting 15 minutes.

In this case, once the 15-minute period has been completed, the video will stop until the user has: 20 approved a new debit authorization form.

.. 'A' On the other hand, the invention makes it possible to charge large sums on an event basis. For example, charging concert tickets (about FIM 250 / pc) by counting pulses would be completely impossible, but very easy with the method of the invention.

: ···: 25

In addition to the flexibility of payment, the payment method of the invention is for the user

I I

;;; 'Very easy and effortless. Once a user has registered with their terminal *! * at the service provider and signed up for the web site in question, no '.:. all he needs to do is accept the upcoming debit authorization forms at the touch of a '· · ·' 30 key. It is also natural for the terminal to always display a price on the form for each ':' 'approval, allowing the user to compare this price with the price they see on the WWW * page and to find out the same. This is likely to arouse the feeling that no attempt will be made to trick the user into the service. Each accepted payment can also be itemized on the user's mobile billing bill, so that the bill can easily be verified by the user.

The invention also eliminates problems with credit card payments, since in this method, the mobile operator guarantees on the one hand the correctness of payments to the user and on the other hand the payments to the service provider. The method can also be used when the WWW content server is overseas or the service provider is foreign if the mobile operator has a contract with that service provider.

This feature, in turn, gives users a much wider choice of service-10 content than home-only web content.

The invention will now be described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the example, the method is divided into two sub-methods, which together form an example of the practice of the invention. The partial methods are illustrated in Figures 1-2.

Figure 1 is a block diagram of a client's registration with a WAP-enabled mobile service provider's client.

: · ·: 20 Figure 2 is a block diagram of a paid: i: intemet subscription and a debit authorization form sent and processed by a registered customer.

t «* *: For the sake of clarity, the example does not elaborate on the operation of a digital mobile network, such as a GSM or UMTS network * ... · 25. If the invention is implemented in a GSM network, a plurality of network elements will be associated with the entity, which are not mentioned in the example. Such elements include, for example, GMSC (Gateway Mobile

Also, the hardware of the service provider is not specified and defined in detail in the example, and the functions of the service provider hardware are not explained in detail, since the service provider is quite free to choose how to implement the part.

In the example, the data is transmitted over three different data networks. In the example operations numbered 103, 106, 107,206 and 205, the data transmission is carried out via the mobile network of the mobile operator used by the customer. The data transmission may also take place partly through a mobile network of one of the partners of the mobile operator 10 in question. In the example procedure, numbered 207, the data transmission takes place via the data network of the mobile operator used by the customer. In the example steps numbered 101, 102, 104, 105, 108, 201, 202, 203, 209, 208, and 204, data is transmitted over an Internet network. The numbers above are arranged according to the order in the figures.

; A WAP gateway server is a device or hardware that enables browsing of Internet services from a mobile device that supports WAP technology. The WAP gateway server transmits data from the Internet to the WAP mobile station: · ': based on a request from 20 WAP mobile stations.

.,; · "Push-proxy gateway server" means a device or hardware that allows the transmission of data in WML format to a WAP-enabled mobile device "...". is a request for data transmission from 1 ... '25.

';;;' The invention can be applied, e.g., in a system associated with a WAP terminal, ·; · Ringtone, WAP gateway, Push Proxy gateway, short message center, cellular:. i. · operator billing system, web server, and content server. The WAP-30 terminal then provides the user with an easy and hassle-free interface for ordering and '' confirming. Again, the GSM subscriber A subscriber number is retrieved from the dialing sequence:. ' · · To prevent possible abuse. The WAP gateway, in turn, converts the TCP / IP carrying the http protocol into a format understood by WAP terminals, e.g.

109386 s to UDP / IP or WDP (the lowest level of the WAP protocol stack that communicates with the Short Message Service Center (SMSC)). SMSC is used, for example, when short messages are used in the airway instead of CSD. In most cases, the use of short messages may be preferable to CSD because of the number of messages provided that only the WAP-5 gateway and WAP terminal support SMS. An application logic is placed on the WWW server to discuss with the content server and the billing system. Billing, on the other hand, is preferably done through a mobile phone operator and the money is transferred from the operator via a pre-agreed transfer to the content provider.

10 Em. For example, the following steps may be involved in charging through the system: - The user activates a listener in his / her service provider's WAP voice phone, which starts waiting for the user's paid page 15 subscription from the content server.

- The user fills in the subscriber number of his / her WAP terminal in the lane field on the WWW page and presses the paid WWW link as if ordering the respective WAP terminal. content.

: · ·: - The form and its contents will be forwarded to the listener, who will record the request. Listener: ':': 20 verifies that the request from the web server can be accepted, that is, the A subscriber number in the form: ί · corresponds to the WAP activated for the listener ': ": subscriber number.

!!! - Content uploaded by the content server is temporarily stored in the cache of the content server of the service provider until the entire transaction has been approved, 25.

i · - The listener sends using WAP push technology to the WAP terminal:: i: A form informing the WAP user of the name and price of the content and asking the WAP user to confirm the transaction (approval / rejection).

j '- The user accepts the event, for example, by ticking' ·: 30 'on the form and pressing the submit button.

9 109386 - The WAP gateway forwards the A subscriber number of the WAP interface to the listener of the service provider in http-request and the content of the approval form. The WAP gateway will make a paid transaction ticket and pass it on to the mobile operator's billing system (invoice to the customer via this).

5 - The listener declares the "transaction" successful and authorizes the proxy to forward the paid web content to the user's web browser.

- It would be a good idea to get a successful / failed acknowledgment for your web transaction.

The system should preferably be provided with a mechanism that allows the WWW user to retry after a failed transaction. In this way, the WWW-10 user can retry to get the service they want.

The method illustrated in Figure 1 comprises client-enabled devices A, mobile operator-operated devices B, and a web server 6 used by the service provider. Client-enabled devices comprise 15 WAP enabled mobile stations 1 and a computer 2 provided with a web browser and an interface. device and connected to the internet. The devices used by the mobile operator B comprise a billing system 3, a WAP gateway server 4 and a push proxy gateway server 5.

By the method of Figure 1, when the customer completes the registration with the service provider * ''. a client using a WAP enabled mobile device performs the following: * 101) The client browses through his / her computer's 2 web browsers the WWW, ···, 25 items from the service provider's web server 6.

'* 103) The customer acts in accordance with the instructions he receives in paragraph 102. The client selects 10 109386 WML (wireless application protocol) WWW addresses provided by the service provider in the WAP browser of his mobile station 1, whereby the mobile station 1 sends a request to the Wap gateway server 4.

104) The WAP gateway server 4 forwards the request to the web server 5 of the service provider 5, e.g. via http messaging.

105) Web server 6 transmits the requested WML WAP page data to WAP gateway server 4.

106) The WAP gateway server 4 transmits WAP page data to the client mobile station 1. The WAP page requests the client's consent to use the charging method according to the invention.

107) The client gives his consent to the debit method using his mobile 1 15 WAP browser, whereby the WAP browser sends consent-related data to the WAP gateway server 4. The consent-related data also includes the subscriber number of the I-client mobile subscription.

108) The WAP gateway server 4 forwards the consent-related data to: · · · 20 service provider's WWW server 6. The WWW server stores the following information: '·': registration / event approval information.

The method shown in Fig. 2 comprises, as in Fig. 1, the client-operated: 11, the devices A, the devices used by the mobile operator B and the service provider;,., · '25 the web server 6. The client-operated devices comprise a mobile station 1 as well as a computer connected to the Internet with a web browser and an interface device "..." 2. The devices used by the mobile operator »» B comprise a billing system 3, a WAP gateway server 4 and a push: ': proxy-gateway server 5.

30 •; I Using the method of Figure 2, when transmitting paid Web services, the following steps are taken: * ·, · I · j i! 11 109386 201) The client selects the web site of the service provider using his 2 web browsers and selects the paid web service of his choice. The web browser transmits the data related to this selection to the web server 6.

202) The web server 6 transmits data to the client computer 2 based on the data received at step 201. The web browser of the client computer 2 displays a web page according to the received data requesting the client to sign up for a paid service.

10 203) The client logs on by typing in the web browser 2 of his / her computer into the text field of the web page his / her mobile subscriber number and sending the text field data to the web server 6 via a web browser.

204) The web server 6 compares the subscriber number received at step 203 with the Subscriber Subscriber Subscriber Numbers in the information-15 karma and states that the client has previously registered and given its consent to debit! for sending pains. The web server 6 generates a WAP WAP page serving as a debit authorization form and sends the associated data to the push proxy server 5. The web page shows the service in question; · <* 20 designation and service cost. In addition, there is a field on the page to select '· *: accept or reject.

II> «tl»: '': 205) The push proxy server 5 transmits the data it received at step 204 to the client I 1 * ',,,' mobile station 1. The WAP browser of the mobile station 1 displays the WAP page * * »,,, ' · 25 forms of debit authorization on mobile 1 screen.

... '(206) The customer selects the "approve" option on the debit authorization form and returns the service provider (s) using the i · ... * form on their mobile WAP browser 1; and the data associated with the form is transmitted to the WAP gateway server 4.

C .: 30; · · 207) The WAP gateway server 4 interprets the data it receives at step 206 and: 'sends the billing-related data to the mobile operator's billing system 3. The billing system 3 stores the information received and transfers the 12,109,386 charge to the customer's billing account. The customer will be billed based on the billing account. The invoice may specify different charges and related information.

208) The WAP gateway server 4 interprets the data it has received in step 206 and sends a notification to the web server 6 approving the debit authorization form.

209) The web server 6 forwards the data required by the web service to the client computer 2, whereby the web browser 10 allows the client to receive the service.

In the examples above, each debit transaction may be assigned a unique j identification code which may be used e.g. to track the event.

Within the scope of the invention, solutions other than those described above may also be envisaged. The installations shown in the figures and examples are not the only technical means by which an embodiment of the invention can be implemented. An embodiment of the invention may be implemented by techniques and systems different from the figures and examples.

The method can also be implemented without the registration step shown in Figure 1.

, ·; In this case, the method is implemented in a manner similar to that shown in Figure 2, but, however, · · ·; such that the numerical comparison in paragraph 204 is not performed. In other words, the debit authorization form is sent to the mobile station whose subscriber number is a customer. '. provides via the Internet at step 203. Such an embodiment is not: '; 25 desirable as there is a risk of abuse. Charging authorization forms to the customer without the customer's prior consent may: ': also be contrary to local law.

* «I

. . ·. The method can also be applied by registering by calling. "*. 30 mobile phones to a specific number. In this case, the subscriber to the customer's mobile subscription _ _ (, the number is transmitted based on the subscriber number, · t; of the incoming call to the service provider's web server.

* »* 13 109386

The method according to the invention can also be implemented in such a way that the customer can use, for example, a GSM mobile communication device which does not support WAP technology but which supports SMS short message technology. In this case, the registration can be carried out, for example, by sending an SMS short message to a specific number, calling from a particular mobile subscription to a specific number, or filling out a form on a WWW site using a web browser on a client computer. The debit authorization forms are then executed in the form of SMS short messages. A short SMS message is sent to the customer, indicating eg the name and price of the service in question. If desired, 10 customers can accept the debit authorization form by sending a standard SMS message to a predetermined number. In preferred embodiments, the customer accepts the debit authorization form by sending the SMS message they received unchanged to the number from which the SMS message was sent to him.

Using this embodiment, the charge may be effected by sending a short SMS message to the customer 15 upon acceptance of the debit authorization form. The counter-billing principle means that an SMS message is sent to the customer and the customer is charged for receiving it. Such a counter-billing principle is used in certain information services provided by mobile operators, in which the customer receives information via an SMS message 20 after sending a fixed-format SMS message to a specific number.

The method according to the invention may also be implemented by means of USSD messages ...: (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data). The electronic form can be e.g.

transmitted and / or received in the form or by means of a USSD message.

25 * · · * The method can be accelerated by caching step 201 ;;; of the paid web service data selected in step 201 by the web server 6 ;;; connection, whereby operation 209 can be performed faster.

'·: ·' 30 A method according to the invention and a billing system of a mobile communications operator; · There are many different ways to work together. One implementation is the use of so-called '· *': labels to convey the basis for charging. Ticket means * j · 14,109,386 format data packets that contain information related to the event in question, such as the time, price, and name of the service used.

The method can also be used to charge other paid Internet 5 services. In addition to the WWW, Internet services can be provided, for example, via file transfer protocol (FTP). In addition, Internet technology may evolve to include new service or application forms to which the method of the invention is applicable.

The invention can also be applied for use in the implementation of charging for the provision of paid services through data networks other than the Internet.

The invention can also be implemented in that the customer uses the interface and terminal devices 15 different from the example instead of the mobile station 1 and the computer 2.

The mobile operator may implement its billing in a different way from the example. For example, the billing system may be outsourced, whereby the mobile operator's subcontractor performs billing-related operations. The communication between the WAP gateway server 20 and the billing system can be implemented in different ways.

:: · A method according to the invention ... can also be used or provided by a non-mobile operator.

After a successful debit authorization transaction, the customer may also be sent a '· · · * acknowledgment of the successful completion of the transaction. Thus, in WAP-based solutions, charging can only take place, for example, at the stage when the acknowledgment is sent to the user ;;; WAP terminal. The acknowledgment can be sent via the Push-Proxy gateway. This is possible because WAP push solutions in the GSM network are capable of utilizing '·: ·' 30 short messages. Transaction billing can also be conveniently done for counter-invoicing '·; · 'Based short messages and not just billing for an outgoing short message or GSM' 'data call.

15 109386

One possible application environment of the invention is based on the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network. In principle, the same solution as described above can be applied in this environment. The difference, however, is that the IP address of the GPRS network terminal replaces the standard A subscriber number of the GSM network. Here too, charge 5 can be made on a transaction basis. By implementing the service using GPRS technology, transactions related to the debit authorization transactions of the service can be carried out faster and easier for the customer. When implemented using GPRS technology, the method can be implemented more cheaply.

In embodiments of the invention, for example, event databases can be installed in connection with various hardware of a rigid system, such as push-proxy-Gateway or WAP-Gateway.

For example, information about transactions or events processed by the hardware in question can be stored in the databases. The data can be used, for example, for reporting, monitoring 'and / or system monitoring.
