Abstract

A personal telecommunication connection number having e.g. three digits is allocated (1) for input via the personal computer (2) into a programmable selection system (5) while the toll is calculated. The computer (2) allows a call of limited duration while requesting the input of the undisclosed number. A numbering system (3) detects a connection remaining free, and this is opened (4) by the input of the time limit. The exchange (6) makes external connections (7) to the public network. USE/ADVANTAGE - In a system with e.g. 1000 connections. The telephone can be used without disclosure of identity through the directory number.

  • to 3
    The number system assists the PC by placing a free, time-programmable connection on the line to the PC.
  • to 4
    By entering the period (e.g. two KW) this connection is released to the outside.
  • to 5
    The programmable dialing system is switched to the line to the PC through the upstream, programmable connection, provided that the upstream connection has been activated by entering the time.
  • to 6
    The switching system transfers the freely programmable dialing positions (5) to the fifty available external connections.
