Abstract: A billing system is disclosed which performs processing in order to provide service to user terminals, and which performs billing for the service provided to the user terminals. In this billing system, user billing profiles UBP are stored in a user billing profile registration unit, by service type and in user terminal units; a billing condition generation unit within a service provider server compares the user billing profile UBP corresponding to a specified service type and to a user terminal with a server billing profile SBP to generate billing conditions, and a billing condition setting unit of a foreign agent sets the billing conditions in a billing unit; and based on the billing conditions thus set, the billing unit executes billing processing for each user terminal.

Abstract: To provide a service customized for each user and for each application, when user host terminal H1 communicates with user host terminal H2 using VoIP, the terminal H1 transmits a service initiation message to service execution units SN1 and SN2. By this message, the service execution unit SN1 and SN2 require service information L-SPC (A) and service information G-SPC (A), both information regards to VoIP service of the term H1, to authentication server A1 respectively. The service execution unit SN1 and SN2 execute a service based on L-SPC (A) and G-SPC (A) respectively. Doing this, service execution unit may provide a service customized for each user and for each application.

Abstract: The present invention provides a mobile communications apparatus, which optimizes handover timing and avoids communications interruptions with a base station. A handover timing calculating function 23, which computes a handover timing, is provided in either a mobile station 10 or base station A (20-A) or B (20-B). The handover timing calculating function 23 sets handover timing from a handover point “G”, which has reception power as a reference, to a point in time “H”, which moves up the required boot-up time for an application that the mobile station 10 is at least currently using.

Abstract: A network service system of the present invention comprises a temporary user identifier update request transmitting side device which provides a first service to a user and can transmit a request to update a temporary user identifier shared within a system; a temporary user identifier update request receiving side device which is connected to the temporary user identifier update request transmitting side device by a network and can receive the update request from the temporary user identifier update request transmitting side device, for providing the second service cooperating with the first service using the updated temporary user identifier; and a user proxy device which is connected to the temporary user identifier update request transmitting side device and the temporary identifier update request receiving side device by the network, and with which the user receives the two services.

Abstract: A network system which provides each terminal user with differentiated service, dynamically changing service profiles even in the middle of a communication session. A service control database maintains service profile definitions. When a mobile node registers with a foreign agent to initiate a conmiunication session, a service profile setting controller in the mobile node's home server sets up a service profile for the mobile user. When an event occurs within a service profile updating controller, it indicates that some control condition specified in the service profile is met. The service profile updating controller then makes access to the service control database to obtain a new service profile and the mobile node's foreign server forwards it to the foreign agent, to which the mobile node is attached. The service profile that has been established in relevant network nodes, including the home agent and foreign agent, is dynamically updated with the new one.

Abstract: Linked with a position registration procedure in a mobile IP, the invention provides a VPN setting service using an IP Sec. tunnel between optional terminals without requiring these terminals to have a specific VPN function. This service is provided by a mobile terminal, authentication servers, a VPN database, and network apparatuses. A home authentication server extracts from the VPN database the VPN information of a user who has requested the authentication at the time of making a position registration request from the mobile terminal. The home authentication server then posts the VPN information to each network apparatus using a predetermined position registration message and an authentication response message. Based on the posted VPN information, the network apparatuses set a VPN path by the IP Sec.
