Abstract

The confidential telephone system which is the subject of the present invention makes it possible to telephonically connect two parties who do not know their respective telephone numbers. It consists mainly of a server centre linked to a confidential code assignment system, this confidential code making it possible to connect two callers who know it, and who are calling the same particular telephone switchboard. This invention can be used when there is a need for confidential voice contact after a first contact by minitel for example.

Description

Le système de téléphone confidentiel objet de la présente invention permet de mettre en relation téléphonique deux correspondants qui ne connaissent pas leurs numéros de téléphone respectifs.The confidential telephone system which is the subject of the present invention makes it possible to connect two correspondents by telephone who do not know their respective telephone numbers.

Les systèmes d'échange d'informations, sans que l'un quelconque des correspondants connaisse ou puisse connaitre l'autre sont aujourd'hui limités au mode d'échange écrit, principalement à l'aide de minitels.Information exchange systems, without any of the correspondents knowing or being able to know the other, are today limited to the written exchange mode, mainly using minitels.

La présente invention remédie à ce problème.The present invention overcomes this problem.

La description de la présente invention fait référence à la figure 1.The description of the present invention refers to Figure 1.

Suite à un contact par une messagerie, hébergée sur un serveur (3), entre deux correspondants utilisant les minitels (4) et (5), sur demande de ces correspondants, le système de gestion (1) connecté au serveur (3) génère un code confidentiel etl'enregistre dans la mémoire statique (2).Ce code confidentiel est communiqué aux deux correspondants par le module de gestion (i) vers le serveur (3).Une déconnexion automatique est ensuite envoyée vers les deux minitels (4) et (5) concernés.Les deux correspondants appellent alors à l'aide des téléphones t6) et (7) le standard téléphonique (9) par l'intermédiaire d'au moins un central téléphonique public (8).Le standard téléphonique multilignes (9) est couplé à un décrocheur automatique (10).Un système de réponse à message vocal numérisé pré-enregistré t11) demande alors aux correspondants leur code secret.Ce code secret est frappé sur les claviers à fréquence vocale des postes téléphoniques (6) et (7).Ce code est reçu par le module de gestion (1) et est comparé aux codes enregistrés dans la mémoire (2).La correspondance avec un code attribué déclenche la mise en liaison, par le module de couplage (13), des deux appelants ayant fournis ce même code. Un certain délai est donné par le module de gestion (1) dans le cas ou un seul des deux participants a appelé.Au-dela de ce délai, si le second correspondant ne s' est pas connecté et n'a pas fourni son code confidentiel il y a déconnexion automatique du premier appelant. Following a contact by a messaging service, hosted on a server (3), between two correspondents using the minitels (4) and (5), at the request of these correspondents, the management system (1) connected to the server (3) generates a confidential code and saves it in static memory (2). This confidential code is communicated to the two correspondents by the management module (i) to the server (3). An automatic disconnection is then sent to the two minitels (4) and (5) concerned. The two correspondents then call using the telephones t6) and (7) the switchboard (9) through at least one public telephone exchange (8). 9) is coupled to an automatic call handler (10). A pre-recorded digital voice message response system t11) then asks the correspondents for their secret code. This secret code is struck on the keypads at the voice frequency of telephone sets (6). and (7) .This code is received by the management module ( 1) and is compared with the codes stored in the memory (2). Correspondence with an assigned code triggers the linking, by the coupling module (13), of the two callers having supplied this same code. A certain delay is given by the management module (1) in the event that only one of the two participants has called. Beyond this delay, if the second correspondent has not connected and has not supplied his code confidential there is automatic disconnection of the first caller.

La communication peut être automatiquement coupée pour des besoins de délestage des lignes téléphoniques, selon des priorités établies par exemple en fonction de la durée de la communication.The call can be automatically disconnected for the purpose of unloading the telephone lines, according to priorities established for example as a function of the duration of the call.

Dans un mode de réalisation simplifié mais faisant appel å un standard téléphonique (9) de type à sélection directe à l'arrivée, le code secret communiqué par le serveur (3)aux deux correspondants fait partie du numéro d' appel téléphonique: ce sont souvent dans ce cas les quatre derniers chiffres du numéro d' appel. Dans ce mode de réalisation il n' y a pas à faire la seconde numérotation pour indiquer le code secret après s' être connecté sur le standard (9).In a simplified embodiment but using a telephone switchboard (9) of the direct selection type on arrival, the secret code communicated by the server (3) to the two correspondents is part of the telephone call number: these are often in this case the last four digits of the call number. In this embodiment, there is no need to make the second numbering to indicate the secret code after having connected to the switchboard (9).

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, lors de la connexion des minitels à la messagerie, les correspondants donnent leurs numéros de téléphone de façon confidentielle. Dans ce cas le système de gestion (1) les transmets à partir du serveur (3), pour enregistrement dans la mémoire (2). Le correspondant utilisant le minitel (4) ne cornait pas le numéro de téléphone donné par son homologue utilisant le minitel (5) par exemple. Dans ce mode de réalisation c' est le système, objet de la présente invention, qui appelle les deux correspondants, par l'intermédiaire du module de numérotation (12), et les mets en relation vocale après, eventuellement, que ceux-ci aient fourni le code confidentiel.In a particular embodiment, when connecting the minitels to the messaging system, the correspondents give their telephone numbers confidentially. In this case the management system (1) transmits them from the server (3), for recording in the memory (2). The correspondent using the minitel (4) did not get the telephone number given by his counterpart using the minitel (5) for example. In this embodiment, it is the system, object of the present invention, which calls the two correspondents, by means of the dialing module (12), and puts them in voice relation after, possibly, that these have provided the confidential code.

Le système de rémunération du service proposé au moyen du système objet de la présente invention peut être réalisé par la mesure d'un temps de connexion minimum au serveur (3) et donc au système de tarification dit "Kiosque"(14).The system for remunerating the service offered by means of the system which is the subject of the present invention can be achieved by measuring a minimum connection time to the server (3) and therefore to the pricing system known as "Kiosk" (14).

Dans un autre mode de réalisation il peut être réalisé par un paiement par carte bancaire s'il y a association du minitel et d'un lecteur de cartes ou si les données de la carte sont entrées par le clavier du minitel. In another embodiment, it can be achieved by payment by bank card if there is a combination of the minitel and a card reader or if the card data are entered by the keyboard of the minitel.
