  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for displaying costs that arise in the exchange of information between radio devices, in particular in the case of mobile radio terminals.
  • various network operators offer discounted tariffs for certain time zones, for example so-called “moonlight tariffs”.
  • some network operators offer to call selected numbers at reduced tariffs or abroad, which are usually more expensive than domestic calls, because in addition to the home network operator, other network operators are needed to mediate.
  • the identification information can be understood to mean, for example, the subscriber number of a mobile radio subscriber (MSISDN number: Mobile Subscriber Integrated Services Digital Network number).
  • MSISDN number Mobile Subscriber Integrated Services Digital Network number
  • the cost information can, for example, be structured in tabular form, the costs being specified as a function of cost parameters such as the duration of the call or the selected identification information.
  • the cost parameter can of course also depend only on parts of the number, for example the country code (Country Code CC) or the identification of the mobile network or the area code of a landline connection.
  • the costs can be dependent on the current time or the current location of the user of the method. rens to indicate. With these cost parameters, the costs can then be determined and displayed.

  • the advantage of this method or device lies in the fact that the costs of a call are made transparent to the user, without the connection having already been established, since the cost information is already stored in the radio. Furthermore, parameters determined anyway are used in a new way, such as the location of the radio as a cost parameter.
  • this method has advantages if the costs are displayed before the information is exchanged, since the customer is given a decision criterion to conduct the call or not.
  • the communication network is not unnecessarily burdened in this way, since a connection is established only for an intended connection and not, for example, to query the costs.
  • a further development provides that the costs are also displayed for the radio called before the call is started.
  • the costs can be analogous to that in the first radio based on a part of the identification formation of the first radio are determined.
  • the identification information is the telephone number, it can be sent along with a call and is then known to the called party.
  • Another development of the invention is that it is displayed when the costs change during the exchange of information. This can occur, for example, if a cost parameter changes, for example when overwriting a country border or a time zone. This feature always shows the user the current costs.

  • a loop 28 is run through in which it is checked whether the cost parameters of the call change. This happens, for example, when crossing a time or region zone. The cost parameters 14 are thus determined each time this loop 28 is run through. Decision 16 is then made as to whether the cost parameters have changed.
  • This loop 28 is run through during the entire duration of the conversation at automatically determined or user-definable time intervals. These time intervals can be determined depending on the speed of movement of the user.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif d'affichage de coûts générés lorsque deux appareils radio échangent des informations, notamment lors de conversations ou de transferts de données entre des terminaux de radiotéléphonie mobile. A cet effet, on détermine des paramètres coût pour chaque conversation ou transfert de données. Une donnée coût qui est enregistrée dans l'appareil radio, contient un établissement de coûts en fonction de ces paramètres coût. Cet établissement de coûts permet de déterminer, à l'aide des paramètres coût déterminés, la taxe relative à un échange d'informations avec un abonné spécifique.
