Description
WO 00/33557 pCT/DE99/03771 METHOD FOk BILLING SERVxCES WHTCH CArI AE RETRIEVED FRAM THE
INTERNET
The invention relates to a method for billing services, S in particular services which can be retrieved fram the Internet via an el.ectroniC route.
with the expansion of electronic media, the marketing of goods and services via this route has also increased considerably. In recent times, it has becomE common for products to be presexited an television in special commercial transmissions, which products then ceu~ be ordered by telephone. On the Internet, as well, there is to an increasing extent the possibility of directly ordering goods or Services which are offered. Provided the goods are supplied by c~Imentional routes, that is to say for example by post or forwarding ac,~ent, the services provided are mostly recorded on the traditional bill, for example by means of cash on delivery or against invoice. However, the d$sadvantage of this system is considerable secol-~dary costs as a result of the necessary reminders and as a result of cancellations, in a not inconsiderable number. The outlay on administration bears no relationship to the value of the goods, particulax'ly in the case of low-px'ice offers.
Also widespread is billing the services provided or to be pro~rided via credit cards or using the debit III~C:hOd.
3a However, estimates assume that the services provided cannot be balled in approximately 4~0~ of the cases as a resuJ.t of credit-card cuisuse or withdrawn debits. This has a particularly serious effect on the provider who prova.des services in advance or whose service, once provided, cannot be reclaimed. The losses to be expected as a result of misuse have to be included in the calculation of the required prices, which makes th.e offers unattractucre to the cost of the genuine purchaser.
WO 00/33557 PCT/DE99/d3771 xn addition to the classical offering of goads, the Tnternet also off ers the possibility of downlorxding files. For example, information files, image files or programs can be downloaded. Billing such services is likewise a problem. The buyer is interested in immediate delivery, which is technically possible. The service would lose considerably in attractiveness if it were to be provider3 only after the processing of the payment via the conventional route. However, on the side of the interested pexson, there is often a certain reluctance to disclose the number of his credit card in order that the requested amount can be debited. For the provider, on the other hand, there are the risks of 1S misuse described above. In addition, high secondary costs arise .in credit-card transactions, and in the Case of low amounts do not bear any relationship to the value of the service provided.
The present invention ,is based on the object of providing a billing method for services which ensures the iztunediate bil~.ing of a service to be provided.
According to the invention, the object is achieved by a method for billing services having the features of patent claim 1.
The method of the invention is used in particular for billing services Which can be retrieved from the Internet via an electronic route. It comprises, firstly, the transmission of the telephone number of a chargeable service telecommunication connectioia (so-called premium-rate connection) from the service pxovider to the service buyer. C<haxgeable service connections have recently become available from a15.
telecommunications companies. For dialing sltCh a service connection, the person dialing is charged with a specific amount per unit time, and this is billed in the next telephone invoice. The owner of the connection ""CA 02352216 2001-05-28 receives a specific proportion of the amount invoiced, For example, in Germany at present so-called "0190 numbers" are in operation, for which the person dialing is invoiced with an amount between DM 0.80 and DM 3.60 per minute, of_ which the telephone company receives about DM 0.60. The remaining amount is credited to the owner of the connection. As the next method step, the service provider monitors to see whether a line has been built up to the service connection indicated. If this is so, the amount required for the service requested is charged via the chargeable service conaectiori and the requested service is then released.
for example, a computer program which is to be downloaded from the Internet ~:an be billed in this way.
The interested person, duxing his search on the Internet, encounters the offer from a provid8r to download a computer program. Aftex' the request for the program, a service telephone number is given to the 2o caller by the provider, for example by inserting it on the appropriate Internet web page. The customer dials the appropriate service telephone number_ The completion of this connection is monitored by the servi ce provider, for example via an electronic route.
As soon as the connection has been made, the billing for the service requested begins via the charges for the service connection. After the billing has been completed, the service requested is provided. The tile car_ be aownloaded.
A further development of the method of the invention provides for a specific order code to be transmitted simultaneously with the transmission of the service teJ.ephone number by the service pxAVider. The code can gave many characters. A code can be allocated once or else repeatedly, if it is ensured that the amounts invoiced can be ascribed to the associated order. The customer then calls the service teJ.ephone number and WO 00/33557 PCTlDE99/03~772 _ q _ subsequently gives the order code in order to allocate the call to the order_ The allocation of the code can advantageously be solved by the service connection used being a direct-dial connectiori_ The 7respeCCive directldial number is then allocated as the code. 'Ihe allocation of the call to the order is ensured.
Charging by the service provider is advantageously carried out only after the allocated order code has been confirmed by the service buyer. In this way, it is ensured that the service is charged to that Caller who also subsequently receives it.
It is preferable if the service line that is built up is automatically cleared by the service provider after the time needed for the complete billing of the requested service has been reached.
In order to avoid incomprehensible part payments, a preferred embodiment of the method of the invention provides for no charge to be made if the service line is interrupted before complete billing has been achieved.
In the event that a service that can be subdivided into a number of steps is provided, for example it a plurality of mutually independent files are to be downloaded from the Internet, continuous billing can also be carried out.
The method accnrdi.ng to the invention permits the immediate bil3.ing of requested services, independently of the risk of credit-card fraud or the withdrawal of a granted direct debit authorization. The invoicing of the requested service is carried out conveniently via the telephone invoice. By means of listing the dialed WO 00/33557 pCT/DE99/037'71 service telephone numbers in the telephone invoice, the amounts inv4iced call be understood accurately_ A preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail below using the appended figures:
Figures 1 - ~ show the step-by-step sequence of the method of the invention, using the example of a file to l0 be downloaded from the Internet.
zn step 1, the service buyer...uses his computer (Pfi to make contact with the Internet server (S). On the Internet, a service provider is represented by his web site (A).
In step 2, the service buyer makes contact, via the Internet server (Sy, with the provider via the web site (A) of the latter. There, he finds vdti4us service offers, for example a file which he would like to download. The individual service offers are prov~.ded with corresponding price information. The service buyer selects the fiJ.e he wants by clicking on the corresponding symbol.
Then, according to method step 3, a cpnnection is produced from t-.he Service provider (A), via the Internet server (S), to a monitoring device (B). In this case, the amount required for the requested 3G service, and also the telephone number of a chargeab7.e service telephone connection (T2) associated with the service provider {A), is transmitted. The tslephone number of the service telephone connection (f2) is also indicated on the Internet web site of the provider so that it can be seen by the buyer. The buyer is requested to dial the aerviGe connection_ In step 4 of the metlivd, the monitoring device (B) makes contact with the service telephone connection wo Oo/3355~ PCT/DE9g/03~71 (T2) of the service provider (A) and monitors the making of a connection.
In step 5 of the method, the service buyer dials the sexvice connection (T2) of the service provider (A) via a telephone corinec~ion (T1). The ~ees invoiced to him for this call are credited to the owner of the service connection (T2), minus a service fee for the Lelecommunications company. The monitoring device (B) l0 monitors the duration of the connection.
In step 6~ the monitoring device (B) reports the fact that the necessary connection duration for the requested fee has been xeached to the service provider (A) via the Internet server (S). The xequlred amount has therefore been completely billed. The connection between the connection (T1) Of the service buyer and the sexvice connection (T2) is broken. This can either be done by the service provider (A) or initiated dixectiy by the monitoring~device (B).
In step 7, the service provider (R) tk'ien provides the service requested by the service buyer. The desired file can be downloaded.
WO 00/3557 -7- ~CT/DE99/03771 The method according to the invention can be processed automatically on the. side of the buyer_ A computer is able to detect the telephone number o~ the service connection which is transmitted and to dial it automatically. This can preferably be done via the Internet. The separ8tion of the data paths of the service connection and of the actual Internet data line is carried out on tl~e Internet.
