Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a communication system, capable of identifying the importance of a call significant to a call termination side, before communication is started. SOLUTION: The importance of the call specified by the importance specifying means 11 of a call-originating terminal 10 is transmitted, before and after transmitting the calling signals of the call, for which the importance of the call is specified to a call-terminating terminal 20 by the importance transmission means 31 of a telephone network 30. Importance transmitted to the call- terminating terminal 20 is converted, corresponding to a prescribed conversion formula by an importance conversion means 22, then delivered to an importance notifying means 21 and is notified to a call-terminating person before the communication is started. Thus, the importance of the call significant to the call termination side is identified, before the communication is started.

However, in these conventional systems, the importance of communication notified from the calling side to the called side is of importance to the calling side and not of the called side. There was a problem. Furthermore, when a certain caller always assigns the highest priority regardless of the actual importance of the communication, there is a problem that the notification of the importance has no meaning. Furthermore, in a communication network accommodating such a transmitting side and allocating resources of the communication network according to importance, there is a problem that a load on the communication network is significantly increased.

Here, as an example of the conversion formula used in the importance conversion means of the present invention, a history of call importance (for each calling terminal (calling number) or for each caller specified by the importance specifying means in the past). An example in which a weighted average of the designated history is used, an example in which a weighted average of the overall importance of the call is used, and an example in which an arbitrary value (information) input in advance on the receiving side is added thereto.
The importance of the call is specified by an integer from "1" to "9", the normal importance is "5", and the larger the numerical value, the greater the importance.

First, an example of conversion based on the designated history of the call importance will be described. In this example, after the originating terminal of the originating number A has designated the call importance "8" 80 times, the call importance "3"
Is specified 20 times. Assuming that the evaluation of the called terminal with respect to the call importance of the calling terminal of the calling number A is average compared with other calling terminals, the average of the call importance from the calling terminal of the calling number A is “ 5 "is appropriate.

【0016】よって、加重平均によって処理する場合、 換算値=(新規指定重要度)−(過去の指定重要度の合計/過去の指定回数) +5 ……(1) に従う換算式で示せる。但し、換算値が呼の重要度の許

Therefore, when processing is performed by weighted averaging, the conversion value can be represented by a conversion formula according to the following equation: conversion value = (new designation importance) − (total of past designation importance / past designation frequency) +5 (1) However, when the converted value exceeds the allowable range of the call importance, the correction is made to be within the allowable range. For example, in this example, the importance of the call is an integer from “1” to “9”, so it is set to “1” when it is less than “1” and “9” when it is more than “9”. And so on.

Next, an example using a weighted average of the overall importance of calls will be described. In this example, it is assumed that a weighted average of the importance levels of the calls designated by all the calling terminals or all the callers is not taken for each calling number. Therefore, if the importance level “4” has been specified 10000 times in the past from the calling terminal of the calling number other than the calling number A, and the newly specified importance level is “6”, the conversion is performed using the above conversion formula (1). The value is “7”.

Finally, an example is shown in which an arbitrary value input in advance on the receiving side is added. When the evaluation of the receiving terminal with respect to the calling terminal of the calling number A is “minus 2” with respect to the other calling terminals, “−2” is used in the above conversion formula using the weighted average.
Can be reflected by adding

The evaluation of the transmission terminal of the transmission number A is "-2", the evaluation of the transmission terminal of the transmission number B is "+1",
Applying this evaluation to an example using a weighted average of the importance of the entire call, if the same terminal “5” is specified by the calling terminal of the calling number A and the calling terminal of the calling number B, the respective conversion values are It becomes "3" and "6", and the evaluation of the receiving side can be reflected on its importance.

FIG. 4 shows a plurality of routes 43 and 44 in the IP telephone network as routes to be selected. However, as a route for high-priority communication, a normal communication quality is expected to be higher than that of the IP telephone network. A route via a different network such as a telephone network may be arranged.

Since the route selection means 45 reflects the recognition of the importance of the call on the receiving side, the receiving side does not recognize the importance of the call, and the receiving side has specified the allocation of resources such as memory in the receiving terminal. For a communication in which a situation that is not appropriate for the importance of the call is not expected, it is possible for the originating side to eliminate waste such as reservation of a communication path for high importance and network resources.

When only the originating side is charged according to the importance of the call, even if the converted importance of the call is higher than the importance of the designated call, even if the importance of the converted call is higher than the importance of the designated call, the route selection means may use the route. It is desirable to have a means for notifying the originating side that the change is suppressed or the call becomes more important because the importance of the call has increased.

The difference between this embodiment and the fourth and fifth embodiments is that the charge amount is determined according to the importance of the call specified by the importance specifying means or the importance of the call converted by the importance conversion means. Is to change the apportionment ratio of the communication cost instead of fluctuating. For this reason, in the present embodiment,
Similar to the fourth and fifth embodiments, there is an advantage that the meaningless high-priority designation communication can be reduced, and the receiving party who is troubled by the meaningless high-priority designation communication can enjoy a financial advantage. Has the effect of causing

Next, an example will be described in which the costs are apportioned in consideration of the history of the importance of the call specified by the importance specifying means in the past. It is assumed that the purpose is to correct the bias of the importance designation on the transmitting side by the importance designation means in consideration of the designation history.

When the converted importance is lower than the designated importance, it means that the importance of the call whose importance is required to be corrected is low. Therefore, in order to correct such a designation, the proportional distribution ratio on the transmitting side is increased as a penalty as compared with a case where the importance is not corrected.

As a specific method of apportioning the communication cost, the network performs apportionment of charging. In addition, in order to perform the apportionment separately from the network charging function, the total communication cost may be apportioned by calling back from the callee to the caller in accordance with the apportionment ratio, or by a predetermined method. The exchange of money according to the apportionment ratio may be performed between the transmitting side and the receiving side.
