`Content subject to payment is downloadable from a content
`provider to a wireless terminal via a communication net(cid:173)
`work. A software application an in said wireless terminal is
`opened, the downloadable content is requested from the
`open software application. The terminal automatically starts
`up a network session, and transmits a request for download(cid:173)
`ing said downloadable content for the software application.
`When the content provider replies to said request by sending
`the content, the wireless terminal receives said content for
`the software application for pre-study (pre-view, listning,
`feeling etc). Payment for said downloadable content for the
`software application for enabling storing of said download(cid:173)
`able content for the software application is handled, whereby

`METHOD AND COMMUNICATION TERMINAL
`FOR HANDLING PAYMENT OF DOWNLOADABLE
`CONTENT
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`[0001] The invention relates to a concept for handling
`payment of downloadable content from a content provider to
`a wireless terminal via a communication network.
`
`[0002] Presently this kind of content is downloaded from
`the Internet using a Personal Computer by means of which
`the item is selected and the wireless terminal, or by means
`of the newspapers having a selection list and a phone
`number to which the user has to send an SMS message.
`
`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`
`[0003] According to a first aspect of the invention there is
`provided a method of handling payment of downloadable
`content from a content provider to a wireless terminal via a
`communication network. The method comprises step of
`opening a software application in said wireless terminal,
`requesting downloadable content from the open software
`application, automatically starting up a network session,
`transmitting in said network session a request for download(cid:173)
`ing said downloadable content for the software application,
`receiving said downloadable content for the software appli(cid:173)
`cation for pre-study, handling of payment for said down(cid:173)
`loadable content for the software application for enabling
`storing of said downloadable content for the software appli(cid:173)
`cation, and storing of said downloadable content for the
`software application from which the downloadable content
`for the software application was requested. Hereby the user
`obtains an easy way to verify whether he is satisfied with a
`downloadable item before he purchases the item, and this
`verification is done in the environment in which the item will
`be used.
`
`[0004] The requested downloadable content may include
`at least one of the following items, a ring tune, a tactile
`feedback from a vibrator, a graphic icon, an animation, and
`a new maze or background for a game. Preferably, the
`network session is a WAP session. Advantageously the WAP
`session is established with a pre-identified content provider.
`The user of the wireless terminal has according to the
`preferred embodiment of the invention an account at the
`pre-identified content provider, and wherein the handling of
`payment for said downloadable content includes transfer of
`an amount from said account to the content provider upon
`approval by the user. The storing of said downloadable
`content is enabled once the user has approved said payment.
`
`[0005] According to a further aspect of the invention,
`there is provided a wireless terminal via a communication
`network, and comprising at least one software application,
`said at least one software application comprises means for
`the user for requesting downloadable content, means for
`automatically starting up a network session upon detection
`of a user entered request, means for transmitting a request in
`said network session for downloading said downloadable
`content to a content source, means for receiving said down(cid:173)
`loaded content for the software application for pre-study,
`means for handling of payment for said downloaded content
`for the software application, and means for storing of said
`downloaded content for use with the software application
`from which the downloadable content was requested once
`
`payment has been handled. Hereby the user obtains an easy
`way to verify whether he is satisfied with a downloadable
`item before he purchases the item, and this verification is
`done in the environment in which the item will be used.
`
`[0006] The requested downloadable content includes at
`least one of the following items, a ring tune, a tactile
`feedback from a vibrator, a graphic icon, an animation, and
`a new maze or background for a game.
`
`[0007] Preferably, the networks session is a WAP session,
`and the WAP session is established with a pre-identified
`content provider.

`
`DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE
`INVENTION
`
`[0015] FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of a termi(cid:173)
`nal for handling payment of downloadable content accord(cid:173)
`ing to the invention, such as a cellular phone 1, which
`comprises a user interface having a keypad 2, a display 3, an
`on/off button 4, a speaker 5 (only openings are shown), and
`a microphone 6 (only openings are shown).
`
`[0016] According to the preferred embodiment of the
`invention the keypad 2 has a first group 7 of keys as
`alphanumeric keys, two softkeys 8, and a scroll-key 10
`(up/down) for moving a cursor in the display. Furthermore
`the keypad includes two call-handling keys 9 for initiating
`and terminating calls. The present functionality of the soft(cid:173)
`keys 8 is shown in a separate field in the bottom of the
`display 3 just above the softkeys 8.
`
`[0017] FIG. 2 schematically shows the most important
`parts of a preferred embodiment of the phone, said parts
`being essential to the understanding of the invention. A
`processor 18, which supports the GSM terminal software,
`also controls the communication with the network via the
`transmitter/receiver circuit 19 and an antenna 20.
`
`[0018] The microphone 6 transforms the users speech into
`analogue signals; the signals formed thereby are ND con-

`
`verted in an AND converter (not shown) before the speech
`is encoded in an audio part 14. The encoded speech signal
`is transferred to the processor 18. The processor 18 also
`forms the interface to a RAM memory 17a and a Flash ROM
`memory 17b, a SIM card 16, the display 3 and the keypad
`2 (as well as data, power supply, etc.). The audio part 14
`speech-decodes the signal, which is transferred from the
`processor 18 to the earpiece 5 via a D/A converter (not
`shown).
`
`[0019] When user input is needed in application programs,
`such as an SMS message handling application 43, a WAP
`browser application 44, and for searching in phonebook
`records 45, the processor 18 opens a character entry appli(cid:173)
`cation 50 in which the user may enter characters and use the
`entered character strings in the application from which the
`character entry application 50 is opened.
`[0020] Reference is made to FIG. 3. According to the
`preferred embodiment of the invention, the wireless terminal
`1 sets up a network session for downloading content from a
`content provider 53. According to the shown embodiment
`the content provider 53 is hosted by a WAP portal 54. The
`WAP portal 54 also host an account service 52-or at least
`has an account service associated therewith-and perhaps
`further content providers (not shown).
`
`[0021] The phone user has to enter into an agreement with
`the content providers and the account service, and this may
`be done as a part of the subscription agreement when the
`phone user purchases the phone. When the agreement has
`been entered, the required information will be stored on the
`SIM card 16 for retrieval when a session has to be set up.
`The required information includes the phone number of the
`WAP portal; ID for the phone (e.g. the phone number) keys
`for authentication of the subscriber, etc.
`
`[0022] According to the preferred embodiment the termi(cid:173)
`nal 1 starts the session by sending a request 60 to an entry
`point 51 in the WAP portal 54. Dialing the phone number of
`the WAP portal 54 retrieved from the SIM card 16 does this.
`A secure session (WAP known under the WAP protocol) is
`set up by the request 60. If the request is set up in a game
`application, the request 60 includes an identification of the
`terminal hardware and what games and game levels are
`presently installed.
`
`[0023] This information is passed as a request for avail(cid:173)
`able items 61 to the content provider 53. The content
`provider replies with a reply 62 including a list of available
`items matching the hardware and preferably not being
`present in the wireless terminal 1 yet. Prices for the indi(cid:173)
`vidual items are included, too. Simultaneously an enquiry 63
`is sent to the account server 52 concerning the validity and
`status of the account associated with the wireless terminal!.
`The account server 52 gives a reply 64 including the account
`level.
`
`[0024] Once this data is received at the entry point 51, a
`list 65 including available items is sent to the wireless
`terminal! as a reply to the download request 60. This list of
`available items will be displayed for the user in the appli(cid:173)
`cation from which the download was requested.
`
`[0025] Now the user has an opportunity to request a
`specific item, e.g. a new game and a new game variant/level,
`a picture/animation or a ring tone, for download. The request
`66 is sent to the entry point 51, from where an instruction 67
`
`for fetching the requested item is forwarded to the content
`provider 53. The item code 68 is sent to the entry point 51,
`from where the item code 69 is sent to the wireless terminal
`1. The application from which the download was requested
`allows the user to e.g. preview the game or the picture/
`animation or listen to the ringing tune. This pre-inspection of
`the downloaded item is free. The user has an opportunity to
`discard the down loaded item, whereby no payment is made.
`
`[0026] However if the user wants to save the downloaded
`item, he gives this instruction in the application from which
`the download was requested, and a request 70 for payment
`instruction is sent to the entry point 51, and the account
`server 52 is given an instruction 71 to draw the amount from
`the user account. The account server 52 sends an acknowl(cid:173)
`edgement 72 confirming the account up-date, and a code 73
`enabling the storing of the pre-viewed item is sent to the
`wireless terminal 1.
`
`[0027] The download session is handled seamlessly, i.e.
`the user does not have to identify the WAP portal 54, neither
`initiating nor terminating the call. If the session is inter(cid:173)
`rupted after the wireless terminal 1 has received the list 65
`including available items these steps do not have to be
`repeated if the session is re-started within a predetermined
`period of e.g. 24 hours. This is the same if a second item,
`similar to the first item, is requested for download. The list
`of available items is kept in the wireless terminal for a
`pre-determinedperiod.
`
`[0028] FIG. 4 illustrates a preferred embodiment of a
`Menu structure for a wireless terminal according to the
`invention. The present menu includes nine main menus, e.g.
`"1. Messages", "2. Call register" etc.
`
`[0029] Each main menu includes a plurality of submenus,
`and from some of the content download may be initiated,
`e.g. the "1.6 Download picture message" submenu, the
`"4.1.2 Download tone" submenu, the "7.2 Download game"
`submenu, and the "5.1 tones", the "5.2 Games", the "5.3
`Images" submenu's in the "5 Downloads" menu. Down(cid:173)
`loads" main menu.
`
`In FIG. 5 the content download concept according
`[0030]
`to a preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated by
`means of a flow chart. When the user initiates an application
`in step 100. When the user selects one of the sub-items
`allowing him to download content, the download session is
`initiated with a predetermined WAP site 54 providing a list
`of items that may be downloaded. The image 6.1 in FIG. 6
`shows the submenu items in the download main menu. The
`display has a header 80 identifying where in the menu the
`user is operating. Submenu item 82 is shown with a pres(cid:173)
`ently selected item marked with an inverted bar 81. Softkey
`options are displayed in a softkey display part 83.
`
`[0031] This list of available downloads depends on where
`in the menu the download was requested and is displayed in
`step 101. The list may include a plurality of ring tones. When
`the download of one of these items is completed in step 102,
`a confirmation text 84 (image 6.2 of FIG. 6) is displayed. An
`option list (image 6.3 of FIG. 6) is displayed in step 103.
`Here the user has an opportunity to discard the downloaded
`item, preview or listen to the tone or save the downloaded
`item, e.g. a tone in step 104. If the user presses the "Back"
`soft key or selects "Discard" the terminal goes back to step
`101 without saving the downloaded item, e.g. a tone.

`
`[0032]
`If the user wants to pre-inspect the downloaded
`item, e.g. listen to the ring tone by selecting the "Play"
`option, the tone is played, and a notification note 85 is
`displayed in image 6.4 of FIG. 6. When the pre-inspection
`of the downloaded item, e.g. a tone is finished or when the
`user selects to "Quit", the terminal goes back to step 103,
`whereby the "option" list is displayed again.
`
`[0033] When the user in step 104 want to save the down(cid:173)
`loaded item, e.g. a tone, either directly from the options list
`or via the pre-inspection facility, he has to select the "Save"
`item in step 104. The wireless terminal I checks whether
`there is sufficient memory space in step 105, and if there is
`sufficient memory space, the remote WAP site 54 is
`instructed to handle payment (step 107) for the item (mes(cid:173)
`sage 70, FIG. 3), and when the storing has been enabled and
`the item saved at step 110, a notification note saying
`"RINGING TONE SAVED" is displayed, see image 6.5 in
`FIG. 6. After this the terminal jumps back to step 101 for
`displaying the items being available for a new download.
`
`If no empty memory space is available in step 105,
`[0034]
`a notification note saying "NO SPACE" notifies the user
`about this, see image 6.6 in FIG. 6. After a few seconds the
`terminal display switches automatically to an option list, see
`image 6.7, in which the user is invited to identify a previ(cid:173)
`ously stored ringing tone for being replaced by the ringing
`tone to be downloaded. If the user selects a tone for
`replacement a notification saying
`that
`the "DOWN(cid:173)
`LOADED OTA TONE REPLACES «name of the tone to
`be replaced>>", see image 6.8 in FIG. 6. Hereafter the
`payment and saving is handled as if there was sufficient
`memory space.
`
`[0035]
`In the following the same will be described by
`means of the interface between the user and the terminal for
`the download of games, tones and pictures. The preferred
`embodiment of the invention allows the user to download
`content, such as ringing tones, pictures, animations, games
`and vibrating pattern via WAP.
`
`[0036] The user can use the downloaded items directly
`upon download. The downloaded items will be stored under
`the respective application from where the user can access it.
`Smart Content Download requires according to the preferred

`[0045] The links are presented as a selection list of one
`row choice items, such as:
`
`[0046] TONES

`and game levels. The header text for the One Row Choice
`Item is "GAMES"
`
`[0054] Under the "Screen Saver" main menu item is a One
`Row Choice Item "Download screen saver". Selecting this
`item initiates a browsing session and connects to a pre(cid:173)
