  • the GSM cellular telephone network includes a multitude of base stations through which radio connections to the mobile devices are made.
  • the operator of a GSM network can determine which base station or base stations are being used by particular mobile devices during transmission or reception of data such as when making a telephone call .
  • When a mobile device is in range of a particular base station it follows that the user of that device is currently located in the geographical area in the vicinity of that base station. This information is valuable to marketing organisations for the purpose of sending targeted promotional material to users of mobile devices.
  • a message may be sent to that mobile device advertising the presence of the department store to the user. Because the user is currently in the vicinity of the department store, the advertising message has an improved chance of causing the user to visit the store.

  • the transaction method achieves money transfer using a mobile phone 14 using an analogue or digital mobile phone network such as GSM or GPRS.
  • the payment mechanism is linked to a prepaid rechargeable cash card.
  • a user 12 arrives at a location and they wish to park their car. There is a parking meter 18 at the location.
  • the parking meter displays a notice that indicates that the user 12 can pay for parking with their mobile telephone and provides a telephone number to ring for this purpose .
  • the user 12 dials the telephone number displayed on the parking meter and they are connected to a Voice Over IP (“VOIP”) gateway 20, which is a server that is connected to the mobile phone network and to the Internet.
  • VOIP Voice Over IP
  • a GPRS Phone 22 with a WAP browser and menus and will not require any dialing into a gateway, instead the user logs into a WAP gateway 24, the address of which is indicated on the notice on the parking meter, and enters the information.
  • the VOIP gateway 20 has Interactive Voice Response (“IVR”) capability and can detect voice and Dual Number Multi-Frequency ( "DTMF” ) tones (some gateways have a speech recognition module in which case information can be spoken instead of entered) . Furthermore, the gateway 20 has a Dialled Number Identification Service (“DNIS”), to identify the number that the user dialed. The gateway can use the number dialed to identify the type of service the user 12 wishes to use and so interact with the user accordingly. So, when the user 12 connects to the gateway 20, the gateway initiates a response to obtain payment from the user 12 to pay for parking.
  • IVR Interactive Voice Response
  • DTMF Dual Number Multi-Frequency
  • DNIS Dialled Number Identification Service
  • the gateway When the gateway receives the call from the user's mobile phone, it detects the Caller ID ("CLID") of the mobile phone. The gateway sends the CLID to central server 16 where account information is held in a database.
  • CLID Caller ID
  • the gateway prompts the user 12 for the user's Personal Identification Number ("PIN") associated with their prepaid cashcard account .
  • PIN Personal Identification Number
  • the CLID of the user's mobile phone 14 and the PIN are sent to central server 16 for authentication of the user.
  • the gateway 20 After authentication of the user, the gateway 20 prompts the user for the car's registration number and the parking meter's identification number, and the bay number (which is displayed on a notice on the parking meter) .
  • the parking meter's identification number may be looked up in a database by central server 16. Looking up of parking meter identification number enables identification of an outlet associated with the entity, being the parking meter. The user's location can thus be identified, being the location of the identified parking meter. The parking meter identification number also allows identification of the entity to whom payment is to be transferred. The user then hears (or see in case of a GPRS phone with a display) the parking meter's identification number, and bay number repeated back to him together with a recording of the name of the street which will have been looked up by central server 16 based on the parking meter identification number.
  • central server 16 checks the length of parking time that this allows and reads back the amount and the time for confirmation. Finally, the user is asked if any reminder should be sent before expiry of the parking period. The details of the parking are stored in the central server.

  • Gateway You have entered..., your parking expires at.... if you want an SMS to be sent 5 minutes before expiry , press 1."
  • menus are used for navigation for more convenient operation of the system.
  • the location of the user is determined from the parking meter number identified in the transaction information that is produced as a result of the parking payment transaction.
  • the central server stores promotional material in the form of advertisements. This material is on the form of SMS messages which contain information about various businesses and their goods or services.
  • the central server selects an advertisement relating to a business that is located near to the location of the user.
  • the central server also selects the advertisement based on the time of day that the advertisement is to be sent to the user. For example, if the time is 6pm the central server may select an advertisement relating to a French restaurant that is in the vicinity of the location of the parking meter. However, had the time been 9am then the central server may have selected an advertisement relating to a cafe or coffee shop because at this time of day the user is likely to prefer a cup of coffee to a French meal .
  • promotional material is selected based on the expected mood of the user at a particular time of day.
  • the user If the user makes a purchase at the French restaurant that was promoted to them, the user earns bonus points which are an incentive to opt into such a marketing program or may receive an award of free parking.
  • Operation of the above system can be used to compile a profile of the behaviour of the user.
  • the system and method determines the location of the user and uses that information for selecting promotional material .
  • the system and method reduces the costs of advertising to companies, and reduces the costs of the user to get what the user wants by the discounts that are offered.
