[0006] Providing a reward means, for example, providing a free call frequency to the called user or providing electronic money.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and in a public telephone communication system, an incoming call frequency is counted in accordance with an incoming telephone number, and a user corresponding to the telephone number is counted in accordance with the incoming call frequency. It is an object of the present invention to provide a public telephone communication method capable of providing a prize to promote call use and increase call revenue.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, a public telephone communication method according to the present invention provides a public telephone communication system which collects log information corresponding to a destination number in a public telephone communication system. If there is, a reward is provided to the user corresponding to the telephone number in accordance with the incoming call frequency.

Further, in the public telephone communication method of the present invention, in a public telephone communication system for collecting log information corresponding to a destination number, when a large number of incoming calls are received for a specific telephone number, the public telephone communication method is performed in accordance with the incoming call frequency. And providing a free call frequency to the user corresponding to the telephone number.

In a public telephone communication method according to the present invention, in a public telephone communication system for collecting log information corresponding to a destination number, if there is a large number of incoming calls to a specific telephone number, the public telephone communication method is performed in accordance with the incoming call frequency. And providing electronic money to a user corresponding to the telephone number.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that in the public telephone communication method, the number of incoming calls is used instead of the number of incoming calls.

According to the present invention, in a public telephone communication system, an incoming call frequency is counted corresponding to an incoming telephone number, and a reward is provided to a user corresponding to the telephone number in accordance with the incoming call frequency. With this configuration, it is possible to promote the use of telephone calls and increase the revenue of telephone calls.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

In the first embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment in which a free call frequency is provided as a reward will be described.

FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of an exchange which realizes the first embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is an operating system (OS), 2 is a communication history management unit, 3 is an interoffice line control unit, 4 is a communication management unit, 5 is a subscriber line control unit, and 6 is a subscriber data management unit. I have.

FIG. 4 shows an example of an inter-block interface relating to the provision of a free call frequency in the exchange. As shown in FIG. 4, in the exchange, when there is an incoming call to the user accommodated in the exchange, the interoffice line control unit 3 notifies the communication managing unit 4 of the incoming call as in the related art (A). The communication management unit 4 obtains the accommodating position of the user from the incoming telephone number and notifies the subscriber line control unit 5 as in the related art (a), and notifies the communication history management unit 2 of the telephone number and counts it. (C). The subscriber line control unit 5 notifies the user of the incoming call. The communication history management unit 2 adds the number of incoming calls corresponding to the telephone number and stores the result in the communication history information. Here, a configuration example of the communication history information is shown in FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the number of incoming calls corresponding to the telephone number is stored as the communication history information. Upon receiving the charged signal from the originating exchange, the interoffice line controller 3
The signal is notified to the communication management unit 4 (d). The communication management unit 4 notifies the communication history management unit 2 of the telephone number and requests counting as described above (e). Communication history management unit 2
Adds the incoming call frequency corresponding to the telephone number and stores it in the communication history information.

At any time or when certain conditions are satisfied, the communication history management unit 2 refers to the communication history information and extracts a telephone number whose incoming call frequency has reached a certain value or more. Then, the telephone number and the number of incoming calls are notified to the subscriber data management unit 6 (f), and the number of incoming calls is deleted from the communication history information. The subscriber data management unit 6 adds the free call frequency of the subscriber data of the telephone number by an amount corresponding to the incoming call frequency.

Here, an example of the structure of the subscriber data is shown in FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the subscriber data includes a subscriber class, a contract service, a free call frequency, and the like.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a flowchart relating to the provision of the free call frequency in the exchange. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the number of incoming calls corresponding to the telephone number is counted in step S51, and if the number of incoming calls within a certain time exceeds a certain number in step S52, a free call corresponding to the number of incoming calls is made in step S53. Provide call frequency.

In a second embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment in which electronic money is provided as a reward will be described.

FIG. 6 shows an example of the configuration of an exchange which realizes the second embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 7 is an operating system (OS), 8 is a communication history management unit, 9 is an interoffice line control unit, 10 is a communication management unit, 11 is a subscriber line control unit,
12 is a subscriber data management unit, 13 is an electronic money control unit,
Reference numeral 14 denotes an Internet line control unit.

FIG. 8 shows an example of an inter-block interface relating to the provision of electronic money in the exchange.

As in the first embodiment of the present invention, the exchange counts the number of incoming calls and stores it in the communication history information.

The communication history management unit 8 refers to the communication history information at any time or when certain conditions are satisfied, and extracts a telephone number whose number of incoming calls has reached a certain value or more. Then, the telephone number and the number of incoming calls are notified to the electronic money control unit 13 (g), and the number of incoming calls is deleted from the communication history information. The electronic money control unit 13 notifies the telephone number to the subscriber data management unit 12 (h). The subscriber data management unit 12 extracts a mail address from the subscriber data of the telephone number, and notifies the electronic money control unit 13 of the mail address (G). Here, a configuration example of the subscriber data is shown in FIG.
That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the subscriber data includes a subscriber class, a contract service, a mail address, and the like. The electronic money control unit 13 edits the electronic mail attached with the electronic money of the price corresponding to the incoming call frequency, and requests the Internet line control unit 14 to transfer the electronic mail to the mail address notified as described above (k). The Internet line control unit 14 transmits the electronic mail.

FIG. 9 shows an example of a flowchart relating to the provision of electronic money in the exchange. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the number of incoming calls corresponding to the telephone number is counted in step S91, and if the number of incoming calls within a certain period of time exceeds a certain number in step S92, the electronic call corresponding to the number of incoming calls is made in step S93. Send the money to the user by e-mail.
