<p>A method for automatic electronic payment based on the detection of a mobile station (140) adapted to operate in a cellular telecommunications network (110) is disclosed. The method comprises the steps that consist in transmitting a signal that indicates the presence of a near field focused (NFF) base station (115) by mimicking the signal of an antenna of the cellular network (110); detecting a request for connection to the NFF base station (115) which doesn’t connect outgoing or uplink calls, that originates from the mobile station (140); transmitting an identity request signal to the mobile station (140); detecting an identity reply signal sent by the mobile station (140); determining identification data of a subscriber who is associated with the mobile station (140) on the basis of the detected identity reply signal; and billing the subscriber on the basis of the determined subscriber identification data. The billing step comprising the steps that consist in: sending the subscriber identification data and an amount to be paid to a subscriber server (150); extracting a plurality of billing parameters associated with the subscriber; sending the plurality of billing parameters and the amount to be paid to a payment server (180); and billing the amount to be paid to the subscriber on the basis of the plurality of payment parameters.</p> |
