Embodiment Construction

[0043] figure 1 A multi-service telecommunications network 1 is shown comprising a network 2 (comprising a set of switches, routers and other devices physically connected to each other), a plurality of service supply gateways 3-7 providing services such as voice service 3, facsimile service 4 , WAP service 5, email service 6, and in figure 1 Other services roughly indicated by dotted lines in 7. It further comprises a credit management system 8, the exchange allowing access to the network, the base station 12 required to establish the wireless connection between the mobile communication device 11 and the exchange 9, and between the fixed communication device 10 and the personal computer system 13. The credit management system 8, here connected to the switch 9, can be directly connected to the communication devices 10-11 and 13, the base station 12, any service gateway 3-7 or any other equipment in the network, or be a part of these devices. In this figure, dotted lines show ...

Abstract

This invention describes a method for carrying out forced booking of reserved credits for the credit management of prepaid accounts within a multi service telecommunications environment. This method can be used in a multi service telecommunications environment ( 1 ), wherein a credit management system ( 8 ) is in communicative connection with a number of service provisioning systems ( 3 - 7 ), using a telecommunications network ( 2 ) and where at least one user of an account can access the network by both mobile and fixed access means ( 10, 11, 13 ), characterized in that the credit management system ( 8 ) is arranged for carrying out a forced booking in order to update account balance information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of managing a reserve of units for an account by a credit management system in a multiservice telecommunication system, wherein services are provided in exchange for units, and wherein a predetermined amount of units is available for the account, and where the units are used in providing the service previously stored. Background technique [0002] International patent application nr. WO98 / 56160 describes a method in which a number of parallel calls are provided for exchanging units and in which for each call a suitable amount of units is reserved. At the end of each call, the remaining unused units are returned to the account. [0003] The development of mobile phone prepayment has far exceeded people's expectations. Now, considering 3G and actual multi-service mobile networks, it is likely that prepaid will occupy an increasingly large position. It is also possible to introduce prepayment into fixed wirelin...
