However, in the case of the wireless router information providing system according to the related art, there is a problem that the user must bear the cost because it is not a personal wireless router.

As another prior art, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2007-101627 discloses an invention titled " Wireless Router Usage Charging Method and System Using It, " which will be described with reference to FIG.

2 is a configuration diagram of a wireless router charging fee system according to the related art.

2, the wireless router charging system according to the related art includes a user terminal 51, a wireless router 52, a wireless router management module 53, a payment mediation server 54, a mobile communication provider server 55, a mobile communication terminal 56, a communication network, and a mobile communication network.

A communication network is an Internet communication network that connects the world using TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) protocol. This is a concept that includes LANs, WANs, intranets, and similar internal networks.

The mobile communication network includes a portable mobile terminal such as a hand held phone, a cellular phone, and a mobile phone employing a Code Division Multiple Access (TDMA) or Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) Quot; refers to a communication network capable of transmitting voice, image, and data.

The user terminal 51 is a terminal capable of wireless communication such as a desktop computer having a wireless modem, a notebook computer, a palmtop computer, and a personal digital assistant (PDA). Also, the user terminal 51 accesses within the coverage of the wireless router 52 and is allocated an IP from the wireless router 52, and is connected to the communication network through this IP.

The wireless router 52 is connected to a communication network through a public IP address given from an Internet provider (ISP).

The wireless router 52 distinguishes each user terminal 51 accessing within the coverage using the TCP port number and assigns a different TCP number to each user terminal 51. [ When the user terminal 51 connected to the wireless router 52 requests a connection to the communication network, the client terminal 51 arbitrarily assigns a virtual IP and shares the public IP address given by the wireless router 52.

The wireless router control module 53 is a module for managing the operation of the wireless router 52, and controls the IP sharing of the wireless router 52. At this time, the wireless router control module 53 guides the payment according to the use of the IP allocated to the user terminal, and transmits information necessary for the mobile phone authentication for payment, for example, a mobile communication telephone number, (For example, subscriber's name, resident registration number, access password, etc.), and transmits the information to the settlement mediating server 54 in response to the information.

Here, the wireless router control module 53 determines whether or not the IP address assigned by the wireless router device 52, the IP use request time, and the IP address The IP usage information including the payment amount corresponding to the time, and the payment including the mobile communication telephone number and the authentication code (for example, subscriber name, resident registration number, access password, etc.) registered in the mobile communication company server And transmits the authentication information to the payment mediation server 54. [

Also, the wireless router control module 53 receives the authentication result through the mobile communication subscriber information of the user from the payment mediation server 54, notifies the authentication failure, blocks the IP access, or receives the approval value And transmits the approval value to the payment mediation server 54. [

The settlement mediating server 54 is a server operated by a business operator to mediate charging of a usage fee generated by the user terminal using the IP allocated by the wireless router 52. [

The user's mobile communication terminal 56 can receive the SMS short message transmitted from the settlement mediating server 54. [ The mobile communication terminal 51 must be subscribed as a mobile communication subscriber to the mobile communication service provider server 55 that receives a payment request from the payment mediation server 54 and performs payment authentication.

The mobile communication service provider server 55 is a server of a mobile communication service provider providing mobile communication services to the general public and operating a mobile communication subscriber database. The mobile communication company server 55 performs payment authentication work in connection with the settlement intermediation server 54. [

 In addition, the mobile communication company server 55 stores the payment for the IP use of the user through the mobile communication bill and performs settlement to the payment mediating server 14. Herein, the mobile communication subscriber database includes subscriber's personal information such as the mobile communication terminal number of the subscriber, the authentication code (resident registration number) for identification of the subscriber, the identification code of the subscriber and the corporation / minors, the mobile communication fee, (Normal / disabled / lost / reported / canceled), subscription fee goods (minor fee items / prepaid fee items), the predetermined payment limit by the mobile communication terminal, the accumulated payment amount accumulated until now, And a connection password registered in the mobile communication provider server 55 by the subscriber.

The mobile communication company server 55 inquires the mobile communication subscriber database with the payment authentication information such as the mobile communication terminal number and the authentication code for identifying the identity received from the payment mediating server 54, Whether or not the purchaser's mobile communication fee payment is delayed, whether the purchaser's mobile communication terminal is in a state of being canceled or suspended, and the like. It is also determined whether or not the authentication code for identification for use in the mobile communication subscriber database matches the authentication code for identifying the user input from the user and whether the sum of the cumulative payment total amount and the IP usage payment amount is within the settlement limit.

In the case of the wireless router charging fee charging system according to the related art, when the user terminal 51 accesses the Internet network using the wireless router 52, the user terminal 51 charges a fee for use of the Internet network, The fee for use can be easily paid by using the mobile communication terminal.

However, in the case of a wireless router charging fee system according to the related art, the fee for use of the Internet network is paid using a mobile communication terminal.

On the other hand, the personal wireless router is completely open for all people to use, or the access password is set so that only a specific person can use it. Usually, the personal wireless router is only used by someone who knows the access password because it has a connection password.

In addition, when the user terminal is a smart phone, the smart phone can directly use the Internet or the like through wireless communication such as 3G, 4G or the like. In addition, when a smart phone or the like accesses the Internet via Wi-Fi, the wireless usage cost does not occur. At this time, one of the ways for a smart phone or the like to access the Internet via Wi-Fi is to use a wireless router as described above.

However, if you want to use Wi-Fi via this wireless router, you can use your wireless router because you know its access password, but you can not use your personal wireless router because the third party does not know the access password of the personal wireless router . Therefore, it is rare for smartphones and others to pass through Wi-Fi.

Here, Wi-Fi is a brand name of the Wi-Fi Alliance, which refers to a set of technologies that support IEEE 802.11-based wireless LAN connections, device-to-device connections (Wi-Fi P2P), and PAN / LAN / WAN configurations . The initial Wi-Fi was actually used synonymously with IEEE 802.11, but Wi-Fi now includes many 802.11-based software technologies.

At this time, Wi-Fi communication is basically an AP (access point) functioning to transmit data to the Internet, and communication between terminals receiving a service such as a notebook or a smart phone. In order to use such Wi-Fi, a hardware (wireless LAN card) for connecting to the terminal must be provided, and a device driver capable of recognizing the wireless LAN card in the operating system must be installed. Especially, it is basically installed in mobile terminals such as smart phones and laptops, so users can use Wi-Fi without any setup and can easily install and use desktop users. In recent years, due to the advantage of being able to communicate wirelessly with the Internet, various peripheral devices are supporting Wi-Fi and increasing the number of terminals.

On the other hand, when using 3G or 4G communication or Wi-Fi as a smartphone in Korea, there is a slight difference in cost. Especially when using 3G or 4G communication to go abroad, Lt; / RTI > Nevertheless, it is difficult to find places where Wi-Fi can be used abroad, so there is a problem that 3G or 4G can not be used.

In addition, in order to access the Internet using a conventional mobile phone or a notebook, it is necessary to use wireless data communication of a mobile phone, use a mobile phone tethering as a notebook, or use only wired / wireless communication authenticated at a fixed place There is a problem that a place that can be used and used is limited or an expensive wireless data fee must be paid. That is, when using a wireless Internet such as a mobile phone or a notebook, wireless data may be used, or a personal wireless router installed in the user's home or an open shared wireless Internet network may be used to access the Internet.
