Abstract: The present invention addresses the need to facilitate prepaid communication services in a manner that reduces the user inconvenience and lost operator revenue presently associated with account replenishment. The network equipment (110-122) collects service usage information associated with a prepaid account and uses this information to predict when the prepaid account will be depleted. If the remaining time before account depletion is below an established minimum, a communication unit (101) associated with the account is notified. The communication unit is then able to respond by requesting replenishment of the account.

Abstract translation: 本发明解决了以减少用户不便和当前与帐户补充相关联的丢失的运营商收入的方式来促进预付费通信服务的需要。 网络设备（110-122）收集与预付帐户相关联的服务使用信息，并使用该信息来预测预付帐户何时将被耗尽。 如果帐户消耗之前的剩余时间低于建立的最小值，则通知与该账户相关联的通信单元（101）。 通信单元然后能够通过请求补充帐户来响应。

Abstract: The present invention relates to a communications system and a method for the same. The invention relates further to a method and an arrangement for paying calls and/or service, and an intelligent network. The method for paying calls in a telecommunications network is used in an intelligent network environment provided with user accounts for individual users. Said user accounts enableprepaid calls and/or an access to various services. The method comprises steps for accessing a loading service through a user interface operationally connected to the intelligent network, accomplishing a loading of a requested amount of balance into a user account of an individual user by means of the user interface and the loading service. The loading stage comprises steps of decreasing the requested amount from a record in the intelligent network indicating an amount of prepaid balance which said user has paid beforehand by buying a voucher or similar, said record being dedicated to said voucher or similar, and loading a corresponding amount of balance into the user account of the individual authorized user requesting the loading operation.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing information to mass localized mobile users over a limited bandwidth are described. Short text messaging system messages, e.g., SMS, may be used to transmit coded data between mobile terminals and content providers, while a client application resident on each mobile terminal can decode the messages received from a content provider and display information in human-understandable formats on the display screen of the mobile terminal. The client application can also encode messages to send to the content provider to request specified information on demand. Users can also specify criteria that, when met, the content provider automatically sends an encoded SMS message to the user's mobile terminal with the requested information, provided the user has prepaid to receive SMS messages.

Abstract: A device (100) communicates with a telecom system (102) to establish a call or data session. The communication includes an identifier used by the telecom system (102) to obtain account information and/or preauthorization from a fund guardian (104). The fund guardian (104) maintains account information about the device and/or subscriber associated with the identifier. A fund guardian authorizes a call access cost or data session access cost. The telecom system (102) facilitates the call or data session between the device and a destination address until the authorized access costs are expired. A reauthorization can occur prior to expiration. An access rate negotiation may also include a bandwidth negotiation.

Abstract translation: 设备（100）与电信系统（102）通信以建立呼叫或数据会话。 通信包括由电信系统（102）用来从基金监护人（104）获得帐户信息和/或预授权的标识符。 基金监护人（104）维护关于与标识符相关联的设备和/或订户的帐户信息。 基金监护人授权呼叫接入费用或数据会话接入费用。 电信系统（102）有助于设备和目的地地址之间的呼叫或数据会话，直到授权接入成本过期。 重新授权可以在到期之前发生。 接入速率协商还可以包括带宽协商。

Abstract: A subscriber of a communications network is enabled to top-up an account for a multimedia service provided on the communications network while the service is being provided. Real-time prepaid charging may be applied to a multimedia service being provided to a subscriber of a communications network (819). Both a count and a time period may be determined from an account balance, and the number of information units exchanged during the service and the duration of the service may be compared against the count and time period (830), respectively. Further processing may be defined to be performed if either and/or both thresholds are reached (832).
