Definitions
- the present invention relates to a user paying a cellular communications network for service when roaming.
- the present invention is applicable to, but not limited to, cellular communications systems such as the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), and also the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) currently under standardisation.
- GSM Global System for Mobile Communications
- UMTS Universal Mobile Telecommunication System
- One type of communications system is a cellular communications system.
- a cellular communications system the area over which service is provided is divided into a number of smaller areas called cells.
- BTS base transceiver station
- GSM Global System for Mobile Communications
- UMTS Universal Mobile Telecommunication System

- UMTS Universal Mobile Telecommunication System
- a user subscribes to a particular network, which is called that user's home network.
- the user When in range of his home network, the user will be provided with service by his home network, which can bill him accordingly.
- One advantage of harmonised systems such as GSM or UMTS is that user equipment, such as mobile telephones, are compatible with numerous different cellular operators' networks.
- the local network When out of the region served by his home network, the user can instead receive service from a different network, customarily referred to as the local network.
- Such a situation is known as roaming.
- the local network Conventionally, for service to be provided to a user when roaming, it is necessary for the local network to have a so-called roaming agreement with the user's network. Under this agreement, the local network recovers the cost of the service from the home network, which then recovers the cost from the user as part of the home network subscription arrangement.
- a method for a user to pay a cellular communications network for service when roaming as claimed in claim 1.
- an apparatus for implementing payment from a user to a cellular communications network for service when roaming as claimed in claim 7.
- an apparatus for paying a cellular communications network for service when roaming as claimed in claim 12.
- an apparatus for receiving payment from a user for cellular communications service when the user is roaming as claimed in claim 17.
- the present invention advantageously allows local networks to provide service to mobile users without requiring a reciprocal roaming agreement with the home networks of the users, whilst nevertheless being ensured of payment and reducing potential for fraud.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic illustration showing aspects of a first embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic illustration showing aspects of a second embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 3 is a schematic illustration of a payment profile.
- Fig. 4 is a schematic illustration of a further payment profile.
- cellular communications system which are GSM systems, although it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to such a system and can equally be used in other cellular communications systems, including other time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, or combined TDMA-CDMA systems, and also the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) currently under standardisation.
- TDMA time division multiple access
- CDMA code division multiple access
- UMTS Universal Mobile Telecommunication System
- a user is a subscriber of a GSM cellular communications network. That cellular communications network is therefore termed the home network of that subscriber.
- the user communicates by means of a mobile station (MS), in the present example a mobile telephone.
- MS mobile station
- Communications service is provided by the home network by providing a cellular communications radio link between the MS and base transceiver stations (BTS's) of the home network.
- BTS's base transceiver stations
- each base transceiver station of the home network forms a coverage area known as a cell, and the total area covered by such cells forms the home network coverage area.
- a radio link is established between a BTS of the network and the MS. This radio link is used to transmit and receive signalling between the network and the MS.
- Such signalling will at least in part be initiated by a control station of the home network, such as a mobile services switching centre (MSC), which is coupled to the BTS.
- MSC mobile services switching centre
- the radio link between the MS and the BTS forms the first part of a chain of communications links for the information content, or traffic, that flows when the user communicates with a third party. Connection on from the BTS to the third party will be made via links provided by connections from the BTS, for example to an MSC and then on to a public switched telephone network (PSTN).
- PSTN public switched telephone network
- Fig. la of Fig. 1 schematically shows an MS 1 10, as described above, located within the home network coverage area 120 of the home network of MS 1 10.
- Radio link 130 is shown merely schematically, being in implementation a radio communication link established between MS 1 10 and a BTS, not shown, of the home network.
- Home network control station 140 is shown, and merely schematically represents that communication service from MS 1 10 by radio link 130 is provided by the home network and under its control, in conventional fashion.
- the user makes use of his home network service to communicate, over radio link 130, with a financial resource shown schematically as item 150 in Fig. la.
- the financial resource in the present example is physically located within home network coverage area 120, but this need not be the case, since the communications coupling between the home network control station 140 and financial resource 150 can be over long-distance landline connection or via a PSTN, or via any other suitable communications chain.
- the financial resource is a bank at which the user has a personal account, but this need not necessarily be the case.
- the credit represents a transfer of funds already held by the user, but could alternatively be a loan.
- the user requests an electronic currency credit.
- This can for example be implemented in the form of a menu driven procedure, or by means a pre-programmed one-touch procedure.
- the financial resource transfers the requested electronic currency credit to the user, again involving the cellular communications radio link 130.
- the electronic currency credit is received and stored at MS 110.
- this is done by means of a suitably programmed smart card located in the mobile telephone constituting MS 1 10, this being one of a plurality of smart cards in the telephone.
- the telephone can have one smart card for such electronic currency credit purposes, and a second smart card for subscriber identity purposes, for example a conventional subscriber identity module (SIM) card.
- SIM subscriber identity module
- a conventional, high level protocol for electronic financial transactions between smart cards and financial institutions is employed, thus safeguarding against theft or fraud.
- An example of such a protocol is the EMV (European Mastercard Visa) (trademark) protocol.
- EMV European Mastercard Visa
- an appropriate application programming interface is preferably employed.
- the electronic currency credit is in the form of electronic cash, in other words it is not merely a pre-paid token or credit of a particular communications company, network, or grouping, rather it is universally accepted and universally worthwhile currency.
- One means of implementing such electronic cash is in the form of the VisaCash (trademark) scheme, which functions as follows.
- the VisaCash customer contacts their card-issuing bank to request the transfer of a certain amount of cash from their personal account onto his or her card.
- the bank relays this request to Visa, who electronically transfers the cash onto the card in the form of "tokens" .
- These tokens can then be spent in the same way as real cash.
- the customer inserts their card into the merchant's terminal, which deducts the appropriate amount.
- the merchant can then "cash” the collected tokens with Visa (trademark), who transfer the appropriate amount into the merchant's bank account.
- the user is later at a new location which is geographically outside the home network coverage area 120, but he nevertheless wishes to use his mobile telephone to make a call.
- On turning his telephone on it scans for suitable networks.
- the phone On ascertaining, in conventional fashion, that the home network is not available, the phone identifies a particular local network, as having the strongest signal. Other criteria can be used.
- the coverage area of this local network is shown schematically as item 160 in Fig. lb of Fig. 1.
- Radio link 170 is shown merely schematically, being in implementation a radio communication link established between MS 1 10 and a BTS, not shown, of the local network.
- Local network control station 180 is shown, and merely schematically represents that communication service from MS 1 10 by radio link 170 is provided by the local network and under its control, in conventional fashion.
- the user communicates to the network that he wishes to acquire service, by sending a service request.
- This function can be selected manually by the user from a menu driven option basis, or can be carried out automatically under pre-programmed control of the telephone and/or one or more smart cards or other control features.
- the local network ascertains from the mobile unit the identity of the home network. Let us assume that the local network further ascertains that there is no roaming agreement between the home network and the local network. In this case the local network sends a message, in any suitable form, e.g.
- the user responds in suitable fashion. For example, the message may indicate that the user must respond with a certain key function or sequence. Included in such response can be relevant details of the user's available currency credit. Consequently, on verifying the details, the local network provides a call service to the user. Payment is made for the service by automatic debiting of the electronic currency credit. In the case of the present VisaCash (trademark) example, this is implemented by securely transferring cash "tokens" to the merchant, in this case the local network.
- VisaCash trademark
- the user finds himself away from his home network coverage area without having arranged an electronic currency credit.
- the second embodiment as shown schematically by the absence of a financial resource in Fig. 2a of Fig. 2, there is no requirement for the user to communicate with a financial resource prior to seeking service whilst roaming.
- the user communicates with the network to request service in the same fashion as in the first embodiment described above. Also, in the same fashion as above, it is consequently determined that payment will be made by debiting of electronic currency credit. However, in contrast to the first embodiment, in the present second embodiment it is now necessary for the user to acquire an electronic currency credit.
- a first possibility is that the local network indicates by a suitable messaging or prompting procedure that a limited service is available to the user on the local network for the purpose of acquiring a currency credit. The nature of the limited service could be limited time, limited number calling options, and so on, including combinations thereof.
- the local network provides connection only to certain predetermined financial resources, such as local banks.
- the effect is that MS 1 10 is provided with a communications route, involving radio link 170, to a financial resource.
- the financial resource is in effect a local one, based in local network coverage area 160, and is therefore shown as local financial resource 250 in Fig. 2b of Fig. 2.
- the advantage of this is that the local network does not have to allow expensive calls to be made before being able to charge. Nevertheless, depending on the wishes and particular requirements of the local network. connection to financial resources located elsewhere are technically feasible, and are included by means of overall communications links established thereto involving radio link 170 as part of the chain of links thereof.
- the user communicates with financial resource 250 over cellular communications radio link 170 to request an electronic currency credit; financial resource 250 transfers the requested electronic currency credit to the user over the cellular communications radio link 170; and the local network thereafter provides service to the user and debits the user's electronic currency credit in payment for the service.
- an optional preferred version is that the determination that payment will be made by debiting the user's electronic currency credit is made by means of analysis of a payment profile of the user.
- the telephone of the user or alternatively one or more smart cards therein, or other suitable arrangement connected to the telephone, is pre-programmed with a payment profile that specifies the order of preferences the user has with respect to how his calls should be arranged and paid for when roaming.
- the form of the pre-programming can be such that the user keeps the same payment profile over a relatively long time, encompassing perhaps a number of trips, or alternatively it can be pre-programmed merely in the sense that the user can specify it prior to making a particular trip or prior to seeking service in a particular location.
- Fig. 3 shows schematically an example of the contents of a payment profile 300.
- Preference 1 is shown as "roaming agreement" .
- Preference 2 is shown as "pay electronic currency credit” .
- the local network interrogates or analyses this payment profile of the user, it is able to automatically determine that the user wishes to pay by currency credit in the absence of a roaming agreement between the local network and the home network.
- An alternative payment profile could be that the preference is to pay via a roaming agreement unless the price will be at least 25% cheaper by paying by electronic currency, in which case debiting the user's electronic currency should be the payment means.
- the electronic currency credit transferred from the financial resource to the user is in the local currency of the network.
- this option is implemented simply by, when communicating with financial resource 150 before setting off on his trip, requesting the electronic credit to be in the local currency of the local network in the local network coverage area 160 where he is travelling to.
- the electronic currency credit is transferred from the financial resource to the user in the local currency of the network in exchange for an existing electronic currency credit which is already held by the user and is in his home currency, having already obtained that home currency credit in an earlier transaction.
- the local financial resource 250 might merely be a currency exchange office rather than a bank as such.
- the exchange could even be for a further currency which is already held electronically by the user, i.e. a currency which is neither the home location currency nor the local location currency, being perhaps currency left over from paying for calls as per the present invention when on an earlier trip.
- the above described versions of currency exchange merely provide a small number of examples of the overall combinations and permutations for currency exchanging possible under the present invention.
- a further simple example of a payment profile 400 in the context of currency exchange, is shown schematically in Fig. 4.
- Preference 1 is again shown as " roaming agreement” , so again, when a local network has a roaming agreement with the user's home network, payment will be made conventionally under the roaming agreement.
- Preference 2 is now shown as "pay electronic currency credit in home currency” .
- the local network interrogates or analyses this payment profile of the user, it is able to automatically determine that the user wishes to pay by currency credit in the absence of a roaming agreement between the local network and the home network.
- the user is specifying that he would ideally like to pay in his home currency.
