Patent ID: 7212803

Claim:
A communication control method for controlling wireless data communication conducted between a portable information communication terminal and a data communication apparatus via a communication network including a radio communication network, said communication control method comprising the steps of: determining a termination situation, when wireless data communication between said portable information communication terminal and said data communication apparatus has been disconnected, so as to classify the termination situation into normal termination, which is a disconnection according to normal procedure, or interrupted line disconnection, which is a disconnection interrupted without normal procedure, wherein accounting data is stored for each data communication with the termination situation; checking the stored accounting data to determine whether there is any accounting data for the data communication between said portable information communication terminal and said data communication apparatus, for which the termination situation is classified as interrupted line disconnection, and which occurred within a predetermined time before the normal termination of data communication between the portable information communication terminal and the data communication apparatus; if accounting data for which the termination situation is classified as interrupted line disconnection is found in the checking step, clearing the found accounting data to avoid charging for the disconnection interrupted without normal procedure.
