Wireless communication terminal that sends a message of the intention of a user to continue a call
A radio communication control device accepts a call-up from a radio communication terminal and includes a unit configured to detect the degree of jamming in a cell, a unit configured to confirm the intention of a user of a terminal concerned as to whether the call-up is continued regardless of addition of an extra to the user's telephone call charge when the call-up has been made from a radio communication terminal in the cell concerned in a specific jammed state, a unit configured to block the call-up concerned in accordance with the confirmed intention of the user of the terminal concerned and a unit configured to change charge setting so as to add an extra to the user's telephone call charge when the call-up has not been blocked in the specific jammed state.
1. A radio communication control system comprising;
a control unit and a communication unit,
the control unit configured to
control wireless communication from a user terminal, and
detect a predetermined communication condition,
the communication unit being operative to send a message to the user terminal to notify the user that the predetermined communication condition has been detected, the message serving to invite the user to confirm the user's intention to continue wireless communication with an extra charge following the detection of the predetermined condition, and
the communication unit being operative to receive from the user terminal an indication of the user's intention to continue the wireless communication with the extra charge,
wherein the message sent to the user terminal identifies at least one procedure selectable by the user for continuing wireless communication with the extra charge determined by the procedure selected by the user, the indication of the user's intention to continue the wireless communication being represented by the user's selection.
2. The radio communication control system of claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication comprises data communication, and the predetermined communication condition relates to data size.
3. The radio communication control system of claim 2 , wherein the predetermined communication condition is data of a size that exceeds a threshold level.
4. The radio communication control system of claim 1 , wherein the message sent to the user terminal identifies the extra charge should the user continue the wireless communication.
5. The radio communication control system of claim 4 , wherein the message identifies available data communication rates and charges associated with those data communication rates.
6. The radio communication control system of claim 5 wherein the procedure for continuing the wireless communication includes the user's selection of a data communication rate.
7. The radio communication control system of claim 4 , wherein the procedure for continuing the wireless communication includes the user's pre-selection of indication of the user's intention to continue the wireless communication with the extra charge.
8. A method for controlling radio communication from a user terminal, comprising:
detecting a predetermined communication condition,
sending a message to a user terminal to notify the user that the predetermined communication condition has been detected and inviting the user to confirm the user's intention to continue wireless communication with an extra charge following the detection of the predetermined condition, and
detecting confirmation from the user terminal of the user's intention to continue the wireless communication with the extra charge from the user terminal,
wherein the message sent to the user terminal includes at least one procedure selectable by the user for continuing wireless communication with the extra charge determined by the procedure selected by the user, and the selected procedure indicates the user's confirmation of the user's intention to continue the wireless communication.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the wireless communication comprises data communication, and the predetermined condition relates to data size.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the predetermined condition is data of a size that exceeds a threshold level.
11. A wireless communication terminal comprising;
a processor responsive to programs stored in a memory and configured to:
control reception of a message sent to the terminal to notify a user at the terminal that a predetermined communication condition has been detected, the message serving to invite the user to confirm the user's intention to continue wireless communication with an extra charge following the detection of the predetermined condition, and
control transmission of confirmation from the terminal of the user's intention to continue the wireless communication with the extra charge from the user terminal,
wherein the message received at the user terminal identifies at least one procedure selectable by the user for continuing wireless communication with the extra charge determined by the procedure selected by the user, and the selected procedure indicates the user's confirmation of the user's intention to continue the wireless communication.
12. The wireless communication terminal of claim 11 , wherein the wireless communication comprises data communication, and the predetermined condition relates to data size.
13. The wireless communication terminal of claim 11 , wherein the predetermined condition is data of a size that exceeds a threshold level.
