Method and system for the collection of voice call statistics for a mobile device
First Claim
1. A method on a multi-mode mobile device for collecting and tracking call statistics of said mobile device that is adapted to communicate voice and data, with one or more networks having multiple radio technologies, said method comprising the steps of:
- reporting to a call statistics server one or more call reporting messages for each call for compilation at said call statistics server to produce call statistics, each of said call reporting messages including at least one of;
duration of a call, data throughput, network used, networks the call was transferred to, time of the call transfer, and destination phone number;
requesting call statistics from said call statistics server, said call statistics including at least one of;
number of calls made to specific phone number, duration of calls, calls made using a specific network service, calls handed over across network services, calls received from a specific geographic location, missed incoming calls, calls made outside a home network, and calls rerouted to 800 service numbers versus direct dial numbers; and
updating a repository on said mobile device with said received call statistics,wherein the mobile device provides a display to show call history, said call history being based on said call statistics stored in said repository and includes at least one of;
number of calls made from said mobile device;
duration, time, date and cost of each call;
total number of minutes and total costs of all calls made from said mobile device;
calls made to a specific phone number;
time, date, duration and cost for calls made to a specific phone number;
calls made using a specific network service;
calls handed over across network services; and
statistic enabling at least a comparison between voice service over a packet-switched wireless local area network and voice service over a circuit-switched wide area wireless network.

Abstract
A method and system for collecting and tracking statistics of a mobile device having the steps of: adding a call statistics server at an enterprise, the call statistics server adapted to receive call statistics information from one or more mobile devices or adapted to gather call statistics information directly through monitoring call setup, throughput and disconnection traffic; and providing call statistics information to a recipient. The mobile device can then obtain and display the call statistics.

8. A method on a call statistics server for producing call statistics for a multi-mode mobile device that is adapted to communicate voice and data with one or more networks of multiple radio technologies, said method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving from said mobile device one or more call reporting messages for each call, each of said call reporting messages includes at least one of;
duration of a call, data throughput, network used, networks the call was transferred to, time of the call transfer, and destination phone number;compiling said call reporting messages to produce call statistics, said call statistics includes at least one of;
number of calls made to a specific phone number, duration of calls, calls made using a specific network service, calls handed over across network services, calls received from a specific geographic location, missed incoming calls, calls made outside a home network, and calls rerouted to 800 service numbers versus direct dial numbers; andstoring said call statistics in a storage on said call statistics server, wherein said call statistics further comprises at least one of;
number of minutes of voice calls over a packet-switched wireless local area network as compared with a number of minutes of voice calls over a circuit-switched wide area wireless network, statistics for calls dropped from a packet-switched wireless local area network and reconnected on a circuit-switched wide area wireless network, statistics on circuit-switched call set-ups that are re-routed to a packet-switched wireless local area network, and statistics on ongoing circuit-switched calls that are automatically switched to a packet-switched wireless local area network.- View Dependent Claims (9)
