Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for charging a communication connection, which is established by a first communication terminal via a packet-switched communication network to a destination communication terminal, wherein the destination communication terminal has set up a forwarding to at least one further communication device.
- the present invention is based on the object, a method for charging a communication connection, which is established by a calling communication terminal via a packet-switched communication network to at least one called destination communication terminal, so that the first communication device is not charged with fees, which causing a forwarding that has set up a called destination communication terminal.
- a response signaling message in which forwarding is indicated is returned from a called destination communication terminal upon receipt of a signaling message from the calling communication terminal to the packet-switched communication network and used by a billing system for correct charge allocation.
- the forwarding is marked in the response signaling message by incorporating an additional information field.
- control units in the network for example SIP Proxy or H.323
- Gatekeeper this forwarding be registered and as a result marked so that the initiator of the message, so the forwarding destination communication terminal as to is charged in the signaling message.
- a billing system evaluates this additional information and ensures correct billing.
- Communication terminal is thus set up for direct transmission.
- the forwarding is displayed after receiving the response signaling message by display means.
- a forwarding to the, at least one further communication device takes place only if a confirmation information is entered by the calling communication terminal, by which a calling subscriber to the billing system indicates that he agrees to the assumption of fees for forwarding.
- a very particularly preferred variant of the invention results from a combination of the first and the second
- Embodiment Thus, the case is detected that on the part of a destination communication terminal quasi "regular" directed his call redirection (forwarding) to the controlling unit (for example, SIP proxy) and this unit then ensures the correct billing.
- the calling first communication terminal does not need to be informed about this diversion, since there are no additional fees for this (calling) subscriber.
- this Variant of the invention thus notices the calling first communication terminal of the diversion nothing.
- a possible misuse of the charge is prevented by the combination with the second variant of the invention, by an explicit active (for example by keystroke or the like) or passive (for example, in the case of a forwarding, which can not be marked by the controlling unit .: predefined list) confirmation is requested.
- the first communication terminal is a multimedia terminal having a graphical user interface.
- the forwarding can be displayed and responded to by a user accordingly.
- the display means can be formed by a POP-up window of the graphical user interface.
- the confirmation information can be entered by the calling party in a simple manner via a dialogue box.
- the first communication terminal is formed by an IP telephone. Thereby, the input of the confirmation information can be easily inputted by pressing a confirmation key of this IP telephone.
- the information field is incorporated in the message header of a message packet.
- Participant is displayed on the graphical user interface of the first, calling communication terminal.
- the controlling network unit is advantageously formed by a SIP proxy or by an H.323 gatekeeper.
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a scenario in the determination of charges in a packet-based
- Figure 2 is a schematic representation of a first
- Figure 3 is a schematic representation of a second
- FIG. 1 shows a communication terminal A of a first communication subscriber which establishes a connection with a communication terminal B of a second communication subscriber by means of a call ("call A->B").
- Communication subscriber has a call diversion to a terminal C, (in Figure 1, the phone of a third communication subscriber), set up.
- Each communication device A, B, C is in each case assigned a subscriber whose modalities in the payment of fees are known to a charging system.
- the terminals A and B are drawn as a multimedia terminal.
- the transmission channel between A and B passes over a communication network 4 which contains or is formed by a packet-based communication network. In the communication network 4, therefore, the transmission of messages in the form of message packets takes place at least in sections.
- the signaling for establishing the connection between the terminal A and the terminal B is indicated in Figure 1 by an arrow with the reference numeral 1.
- a control unit KE designated by the reference numeral 5 forwards the information "call A-> B".
- the terminal B transmits a response signaling message directed to the terminal A of the calling subscriber, that is to say in the example a diversion signaling message ("signaling B-> A: diversion to C").
- this response signaling message is indicated as a new endpoint, the terminal C.
- Answer signaling message to the terminal A also passes through the control unit 5 (arrow with the reference numeral 2 in Figure 1). As a result, it comes to a automatic call setup to terminal C. Although the calling party would only be charged for the connection between the devices A and B, according to the state of the art, the charges for forwarding, that is to say for the continued transmission path, are also imposed on the terminal C of the third communication subscriber , In the schematic representation of Figure 1, this, previously performed incorrect billing by a marked with the reference numeral 6 graphic is indicated.
- FIG. 2 schematically shows a first embodiment of the method according to the invention.
- the call of a subscriber A (“Call A-> B") is transmitted via a control unit 5 of a packet-based data network 4 to the subscriber B (arrow with the reference numeral 1).
- the control unit 5 is a specially configured SIP proxy server in the example shown; However, the control unit 5 can also be realized by an H.323 gatekeeper or else be an MGCP-based terminal with a currently available or future protocol.
- a diversion signaling message (“signaling B-> A: deflection to C”) in the data network 4 transmitted back (arrow with the reference numeral 2 in Figure 2).
- This response signaling message contains a
- FIG. 3 schematically shows a second embodiment of the method according to the invention. Again, the connection is through a via a
- Control unit 5 and the network 4 initiated call (“call A-> B” in Figure 3) initiated.
- the control unit 5 is also drawn in this embodiment as a SIP proxy server, which can of course also be implemented here by a H.323 gatekeeper or a similar server with a corresponding other protocol.
- a RufUm In the terminal B of the called party a RufUm effet is switched.
- the terminal B of the called party sends a diversion signaling message ("signaling B-> A: redirection to C”) into the data network 4.
- Diversion signaling message is sent via the data network 4 - without participation of the control unit 5 - to the subscriber terminal A of the calling subscriber transmitted.
- automatic call forwarding does not occur here.
- the continuation of the transmission path that is to say the transmission, takes place
- the multimedia terminal B is set up so that it can transmit a diversion signaling via the data network 4 without interposition of the control unit 5 to the multimedia terminal A of the calling subscriber.
- the multimedia terminal A is equipped with a display that makes it clear to the calling subscriber that his call originally directed to subscriber B is diverted. If the calling subscriber agrees with the call diversion and the possibly resulting charging for him, he signaled this, for example, by making a specific input on his terminal A. Only if he accepts the diversion and the billing thus incurred is a call setup to the third communication terminal C.
- the call forwarding to several technically differently formed communication terminals are performed.
- the "acknowledgment" 7 which the calling subscriber enters according to the schematic representation in FIG. 3 as a sign of his agreement for the call diversion at his communication terminal A, can take place in different ways depending on the design of the terminal A (for example, by a multimedia terminal) Button, on a software terminal a dialog box or by a different manner of expression, for example by a voice control).
- the display of the call diversion can also be realized on the device A in different ways, for example by a pop-up window on a graphical user interface or on a PC-based software telephone.
- the call diversion can take place acoustically or be realized by a corresponding display on a display.
- Black List or White List defined. These lists indicate whether diversion requests from certain communication users are always allowed (white list) or never (black list). In this case, the redirected messages need not be marked by the control unit since the call is redirected by the calling party itself.
