Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Echtzeiterfassung von Gebühren für Mehrwertdienste in einem Telekommunikationsnetz mit IN-Netzstruktur, bei dem ein Anrufer einen Mehrwertdienst durch Wahl einer zugeordneten Zielrufnummer anwählt. In einem IN-Netzelement des Telekommunikationsnetzes wird diese Zielrufnummer erfasst und in eine spezielle Zugangsrufnummer für den Mehrwertdienst umgewandelt. Es erfolgt ein Aufbau einer Verbindung zwischen dem IN-Netzelement und dem Mehrwertdiensteanbieter unter Verwendung dieser Zugangsrufnummer, wobei der Mehrwertdiensteanbieter den gültigen Tarif für die Nutzung des angeforderten Mehrwertdienstes in Form einer neuen Zielrufnummer für den angeforderten Mehrwertdienst an den Mobilfunknetzbetreiber übermittelt. Die neue Zielrufnummer wird im IN-Netzelement ausgewertet, und eine Verbindung zwischen dem Anrufer und dem Mehrwertdienst mit der neuen Zielrufnummer unter Verwendung des angegeben Tarifs aufgebaut.

Abstract: The above objects can be attained by a system that creates system-created events at an optimal time independant of the billing process, and performs a continuous pricing process so that as events become available to the system they can be priced and summarized in real-time, allowing the billing process to be performed more efficiently. Usage and one-time events become available for pricing as soon as they are delivered to the system. System-created events, such as recurring, minimum charge summary, and maximun charge summary events, are created by the system based on a schedule defined by a subscription to which a costumer has subscribed. Charges for events are re-calculated, if necessary, when information in the system, which impacts the charge of an event, changes. On demand pricing is performed when a charge for summary event, such as, a tiered discount plan summary, minimum charge summary, or maximum charge summary, is to be displayed or billed.
