Telephone (installed and mobile) and
pager billing statements can be significantly enhanced if the call log information was summarized and presented by visual means, such as maps. A method and
system is described herein to deliver telephone and
pager call log details through one or more maps embedded within or provided with telephone and
pager billing statements. Beyond the traditional tabular call log
list, the invented
system offers maps, which display the physical locations relevant to calls geo-referenced to a map (location of placement and reception). Calls are represented in the map either individually and / or are summarized by the number of calls, the timing of the calls, the charges applied to the calls, the call categories (incoming, outgoing,
daytime, nighttime, peak time, off peak time etc.), local-area and none-local-area calls, sensitive calls, geographic unit, or any combination thereof. A
rule system was imposed on an integrated combination of
database and
geographic information system technology to establish the method and
system.
