Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an outgoing call control method and a portable telephone device thereof, and more particularly to a function restriction of a portable telephone device depending on a billing state.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the spread of portable telephone devices has been remarkable, particularly to younger people. Many young people, such as elementary school students and junior high school students, have difficulty in paying telephone charges and often make unplanned calls with a sense of play.

[0003] On the other hand, call charges are usually delayed by one month and billed by a telecommunications carrier. For this reason, the parents often take a look at the billing amount for the following month, and have difficulty paying for it.

[0004] Therefore, it is desirable to register a payable amount in advance in a portable telephone device used by a younger age group, and to limit calls beyond the registered amount.

Techniques related to such call restriction are proposed in, for example, JP-A-08-098244 (first conventional technique) and JP-A-10-210146 (second conventional technique).

The wireless communication apparatus and the wireless communication system according to the first prior art have a usage frequency set in advance in a removable storage medium of the wireless communication terminal and correspond to a communication fee sent from a base station. By subtracting the frequency of use set in the storage medium based on the predetermined signal to be performed, and when the preset frequency of use becomes zero, the use of the wireless communication terminal is restricted, so that the user can It allows for planned use within the established (accepted) call rates.

However, when the number of times of use preset in the storage medium becomes zero, all functions of the wireless communication terminal are disabled, so that the transmission / reception by the other party's telephone number is performed.
Detailed control such as individual restrictions on incoming calls is not possible.

That is, it is desired that even if the number of times of use becomes zero, it is possible to make an emergency call or the like by permitting a call to a specific telephone number such as a home.

The second prior art mobile phone is set in advance so that some functions of the mobile phone, such as a call start / end instruction and a telephone directory display instruction, are disabled by an anti-theft function. The password entered by the user at the time of making a call is checked against a preset PIN, and when they match, the invalidation of some functions is released, and the counting of the call time, the number of calls, and the call charge is started, When the total call time, the predetermined number of calls, and the total call charge have been reached, the operation of some functions is disabled again and operation is restricted, thereby preventing unauthorized use by third parties without restriction.

However, the counting means for counting the call time and the number of calls, the telephone number for counting the call charges and the call charge storage means for storing the call charges corresponding to the call times, the call time and the other party's telephone Operation processing means for reading out the call charge from the call charge storage means based on the number and calculating the call charge is required, and the limited storage capacity of the storage device cannot be used effectively.

Further, since the counting means, the call charge storage means, and the call charge calculation processing means are individually mounted on the portable telephones and managed by the respective portable telephones, the cost in the portable telephone system is reduced as compared with the method of collectively managing the base stations and the like. Poor performance.

[0012]

As described above, according to the first prior art, when the usage frequency preset in the storage medium becomes zero, all functions of the wireless communication terminal are disabled. However, it is not possible to perform detailed management such as individual restrictions on outgoing / incoming calls based on the other party's telephone number.

[0013] That is, it is desired that even if the frequency of use becomes zero, it is possible to make an emergency call or the like by permitting outgoing call to a specific telephone number such as home.

[0014] The second prior art is a third technique based on theft.
It is intended to prevent unauthorized use by the user, and also stores a call rate in correspondence with a counting means for counting the call time and the number of calls, a telephone number for counting the call rate, and a call time. A call charge storage means and an arithmetic processing means for reading the call charge from the call charge storage means based on the call time and the other party's telephone number and calculating the call charge are required, and the storage capacity of the limited storage device is effectively used. Can not do.

Further, since the counting means, the call charge storage means, and the call charge calculation processing means are individually mounted on the portable telephones and managed by the respective portable telephones, the cost in the portable telephone system is lower than the method of collectively managing the base stations and the like. Poor performance.

An object of the present invention is to provide an outgoing / incoming call control method and a mobile phone apparatus which can perform detailed control of individual outgoing / incoming calls corresponding to the other party's telephone number and have excellent cost performance in a mobile phone system. It is in.

[0017]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a calling / receiving control method for determining whether an accumulated billing amount has reached an upper limit billing amount set in advance as an allowable billing amount at the time of calling. A second step of determining whether or not the input destination telephone number is subject to a preset call restriction when the determination in the first step is equal to or more than the upper limit billing amount; A third step of restricting the transmission when the determination in the above is a transmission restriction target, and, when the determination in the second step is out of the restriction of the transmission, permitting the transmission and starting a call, and when the call is terminated, the base station A fourth step of calculating a billing amount for the call based on the transmitted billing information, and integrating and updating the billing amount with the upper limit billing amount.

Further, at the time of transmission, a first step of determining whether or not the total charge amount has reached an upper limit charge amount set in advance as an allowable charge amount, and the determination in the first step includes determining the upper limit charge amount. At this time, the second step of determining whether or not the input telephone number of the called party is subject to a preset transmission restriction, and the third step of restricting the transmission when the determination in the second step is the transmission restriction target. And when the determination in the second step is out of the call restriction, the call is permitted and the call is started, and when the call is completed, the charge amount is calculated based on the charge information sent from the base station. A fourth step of accumulating and updating the upper limit charge amount; and, when the determination in the first step is equal to or less than the upper limit value, permitting a call and starting a telephone call, and accumulating the total charge amount and the upper limit charge amount. Remaining call for the difference billing amount with A fifth step of calculating a time interval based on a standard call charge per unit time set in advance, and the remaining call available time calculated in the fifth step is equal to or less than a predetermined time. A sixth step of activating a timer, determining whether or not the call is ongoing when the timer has elapsed for a predetermined time, and sending an alarm prompting termination of the call when the call is ongoing; and And determining whether or not the call is ongoing, and forcibly terminating the call when the call is continued; and charging information transmitted from the base station after the forcible disconnection in the seventh step. And calculating the charge amount for the call based on the accumulated charge amount, and integrating and updating the total charge amount.

Further, the standard call rate per unit time in the fifth step is a minimum call rate in a local call and a minimum or maximum call rate of an out-of-town call rate. It can be set arbitrarily.

In the sixth step, when the call is terminated when the timer elapses a predetermined time, the charge amount for the call is determined based on the charge information sent from the base station in the eighth step. Is calculated and added to the total billing amount,
It is characterized by updating.

In the seventh step, when the call is terminated when the timer times out, a charge amount for the call is calculated based on the charge information sent from the base station in the eighth step. And accumulates the total charge amount,
It is characterized by updating.

The portable telephone device of the present invention has an upper limit charging amount registering means for registering an upper limit of an allowable charging amount in advance, and a calling function for registering outgoing call restrictions, incoming call restrictions, and outgoing / incoming call restrictions corresponding to telephone numbers in advance. Incoming call registration registration means and, when detecting the telephone number of the called party input at the time of making a call, determine whether or not the total charge amount of the upper limit charge amount registration means has reached an upper limit. When the maximum billing amount has been reached, and when the input destination telephone number is not registered in the outgoing / incoming call receiving and registering means, outgoing call control is performed,
When the telephone number of the called party is registered in the transmission / reception restriction registration means and the transmission restriction is registered, the call is permitted and the call is started, and when the call is terminated, the billing sent from the base station is completed. Calculate the charge for the call based on the information,
Control means for integrating and updating the total charge amount of the upper limit charge amount registration means.

An upper limit charging amount registering means for registering an upper limit of an allowable charging amount in advance, and a calling / receiving restriction registering means for registering outgoing call regulation, incoming call regulation, outgoing call and incoming call regulation corresponding to a telephone number in advance. A standard call rate registering means for registering a standard call rate per unit time, and, when detecting a destination telephone number inputted at the time of calling, the total charge amount of the upper limit charge amount registering means becomes an upper limit. It is determined whether or not the total charge amount has already reached the upper limit charge amount, and the input destination telephone number is not registered in the transmission / reception restriction registration means, and The destination telephone number is registered in the transmission / reception restriction registration means, and the transmission restriction is performed when the transmission restriction is registered, and the destination telephone number is registered in the transmission / reception restriction registration means, and Outgoing call When the call is not registered, the call is permitted and the call is started. When the call is finished, the charge amount of the call is calculated based on the charge information sent from the base station, and the upper limit charge amount registering means is operated. Integrate and update the total billing amount, and when the cumulative billing amount does not reach the upper limit billing amount, permit calling and start a call, and allow a remaining call for the difference billing amount between the cumulative billing amount and the upper limit billing amount. The time is calculated based on a standard call charge per unit time set in advance in the standard call charge registration means, and when the calculated remaining callable time is equal to or longer than a predetermined time set in advance, the call is made.

[0024]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a main configuration of the mobile phone of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a procedure for setting a call charge, FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a procedure for setting a call restriction, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a memory configuration indicating registration of outgoing / incoming calls.

The portable telephone device of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 includes an antenna 11, a transmission / reception unit 12 for transmitting / receiving radio waves to / from a base station using the antenna, a demodulation and reception of signals received by the transmission / reception unit. An audio processing unit 13 that modulates an input audio signal and outputs it to a transmission / reception unit; a speaker 14 that amplifies the audio signal demodulated by the audio processing unit; and a microphone 15 that collects a user's voice and outputs it to the audio processing unit. , An operation unit 16 composed of various function keys and numeric keys, and a storage unit 17 for storing various data such as billing amount, incoming / outgoing call restriction information, telephone number, etc. inputted from the operation unit, and various programs for realizing the mobile phone device. And a timer 18 for counting a predetermined time
And a main control unit 19 that controls the entire mobile phone device, and a display unit 20 that displays various information.

The storage unit 17 registers an outgoing / incoming call restriction information registration area 17-1 in which outgoing / incoming call control information is registered in advance, in addition to various programs for realizing the portable telephone device, and an upper limit billing amount. An upper limit charging amount registration area 17-2;
It comprises a standard call charge registration area 17-3 for registering a standard call charge per unit time.

Next, the setting of outgoing / incoming call restriction information will be described with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. After operating the operation unit 16 by a predetermined method and selecting the regulation setting mode (step S101 in FIG. 2), the password of the caller registration / registration registrant is input from the operation unit 16 (S102).

The password of the registered registrant is not the password of the user (eg, child) but the password of a third party (eg, parent).

The main control unit 19 checks the input password against a password registered in the storage unit 17 in advance (S103).

If the result of the determination in step S103 is inconsistent, the fact that the password is incorrect is displayed on the display unit 20 by a predetermined display method, the registrant is notified, and the user is prompted to re-enter the password.

If the determination result in step S103 is a match, a request for inputting the maximum charge amount that can be used by the portable telephone is displayed on the display unit 20 by a predetermined display method to notify the registrant and input the maximum charge amount. The registrant operates the operation unit 16 to input the upper limit of the billing amount, which is the budget for the current month, by a predetermined method (S104).

When the upper limit billing amount is input, the main controller 19 displays the input upper limit billing amount and whether or not to register the upper limit billing amount on the display unit 20 by a predetermined display method, and notifies the registrant of the registration. The user is notified and prompted to register the upper limit billing amount (S105).

The registrant re-enters the desired billing amount when changing the upper limit billing amount displayed on the display unit. Otherwise, the registrant operates the operation unit 16 by a predetermined method to operate the upper limit billing amount registration request operation. I do.

When the main controller 19 receives the upper limit charge amount registration request from the operation unit 16, it registers the upper limit charge amount in the upper limit charge amount registration area 17-2 of the storage unit 17 (S106).
A request for inputting a telephone number to be controlled for calling is displayed on the display unit 20 by a predetermined display method, and the registrant is prompted to input a telephone number to be controlled for calling.

After the registrant operates the operation unit 16 and inputs a telephone number to be controlled for transmission / reception (S107), the registrant determines whether to restrict the transmission / reception, transmission, or reception of the telephone number. Is entered and specified (S108).

The main control unit 19 writes the input telephone number in the transmission / reception restriction registration area 17-1 of the storage unit 17 as shown in FIG. 5, and determines whether the telephone number is subject to the transmission / reception restriction. Is determined (S109).

If the result of determination in step S109 is outgoing / incoming / outgoing call restriction, information indicating that the telephone number is to be outgoing / incoming incoming call is written as shown in FIG. This information can be displayed, for example, as “1” for regulation and “0” for non-regulation.

When the control information is input, the main control unit 19 displays the telephone number and the control information on the display unit 20, and confirms the registration with the registrant (S110).

The registrant makes an error in the telephone number and the regulation information displayed on the display unit 20 and, if there is no change, operates the operation unit 16 by a predetermined method to request registration. To change the telephone number or the regulation information, the user operates the operation unit 16 and re-enters it.

When receiving the registration request of the telephone number and the restriction information, the main control unit 19 sets the transmission restriction and the reception restriction corresponding to the telephone number as shown in FIG. 5 (S11).
1). For example, if the telephone number input in step S107 is 03-1111-2222 and step S108
In the case where the restriction information input in is "1" and "1", as shown in FIG. 5, the outgoing call and the incoming call are restricted for 03-1111-2222.

If the telephone number input in step S107 is 045-777-8888,
When the regulation information input at 108 is “0” or “0”, as shown in FIG. 5, 045-777-8888.
Is not regulated for both outgoing and incoming calls.

Therefore, even if the charge amount stored in the upper limit charge amount registration area 17-2 exceeds the upper limit, 045-7.
77-8888 is capable of both outgoing and incoming calls. If the home telephone number is 045-777-8888, it is possible to make and receive calls freely even if the charged amount exceeds the upper limit. If this is at home, emergency contact should not be restricted, and the call time during normal times is expected to be relatively short, and the excess of the maximum billing amount is also expected to be small, so no regulation is necessary. do not do.

When the outgoing / incoming call regulation registration for one telephone number is completed in this way, the main control section 19 displays whether or not the regulation registration has been completed on the display section 20 by a predetermined display method.
The registrant is prompted for the next telephone number (S118).

If there are a plurality of restricted telephone numbers, the processing from step S107 to step S118 is repeated, and if there is no restricted telephone number to be continuously input, the call termination setting is terminated (S119).

If the result of the determination in step S109 is not outgoing / incoming / outgoing calls, the main control unit 19 determines whether or not outgoing / incoming calls are barred (S112). If the result of the determination in step S112 is that the transmission is to be restricted, the telephone number and the restriction information entered in steps S107 and S108 are displayed on the display unit 20, and the registrant confirms whether or not the registration is necessary (S113).

The registrant operates the operation unit 16 by a predetermined method to request registration after the telephone number displayed on the display unit 20 and the regulation information are incorrect and there is no change. To change the telephone number or the regulation information, the user operates the operation unit 16 and re-enters it.

When receiving the registration request for the telephone number and the restriction information, the main control unit 19 sets the transmission restriction corresponding to the telephone number as shown in FIG. 5 (S114). For example, if the telephone number input in step S107 is 045-55
In 5-6666, when the regulation information input in step S108 is "1""0", as shown in FIG. 5, 045-555-6666 is outgoing restricted, and incoming call is not restricted.

When the outgoing call registration registration for one telephone number is completed in this way, the main control unit 19 displays whether or not the end of the call registration is displayed on the display unit 20 in a predetermined display method. The user is prompted to enter a telephone number (S118).

If there are a plurality of phone numbers to be restricted, steps S107, S112 to S11
4 is repeated, and if there is no phone number to be subsequently entered to be restricted, the outgoing / incoming call barring setting is terminated (S1).
19).

If the result of the determination in step S112 is not outgoing call restriction, the main control section 19 determines whether or not incoming call control is in effect (S115). If the result of the determination in step S115 is the incoming call restriction, the telephone number input in step S107 and step S108 and the restriction information are displayed on the display unit 20, and the registrant confirms whether or not the registration is necessary (S
116).

The registrant makes an error in the telephone number and the regulation information displayed on the display unit 20 and, if there is no change, operates the operation unit 16 by a predetermined method to request registration. To change the telephone number or the regulation information, the user operates the operation unit 16 and re-enters it.

Upon receiving the registration request for the telephone number and the restriction information, the main control unit 19 sets the incoming call restriction corresponding to the telephone number as shown in FIG. 5 (S117). For example, if the telephone number input in step S107 is 045-33
In 3-4444, if the regulation information input in step S108 is “0” or “1”, as shown in FIG. 5, 045-333-4444 is barred from incoming calls and is not barred from originating calls.

When the incoming call regulation registration for one telephone number is completed in this way, the main control unit 19 displays whether or not the regulation registration is completed on the display unit 20 by a predetermined display method, and gives the registrant the next information. The user is prompted to enter a telephone number (S118).

If there are a plurality of restricted telephone numbers, steps S107 to S109 and step S11 are performed.
2. The processing from step S115 to step S108 is repeated, and if there is no telephone number to be subsequently entered to be restricted, the incoming call restriction setting ends (S119).

Next, the operation at the time of transmission will be described with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. It should be noted that, according to the processing flow shown in FIG.
In addition, it is assumed that outgoing / incoming call regulation, outgoing call regulation, and incoming call regulation are registered in the outgoing / incoming call regulation registration area 17-1 of the storage unit 17.

The user operates the operation unit 16 in a predetermined manner to select the transmission mode, and then selects (step S20 in FIG. 3).
1) A desired destination telephone number is input from the operation unit 16 (S202).

When the telephone number is input, the main control unit 19 searches the upper limit charging amount registration area 17-2 of the storage unit 17, and
It is determined whether or not the registered current total charge amount has reached the upper limit charge amount (S203).

When the result of the determination in step S203 is equal to or less than the upper limit billing amount, the transmission / reception restriction registration area 1 of the storage unit 17
7-1 is searched to determine whether or not the input telephone number is registered (S204). If the input telephone number is not registered, outgoing call is restricted (S210) and the outgoing call request is disconnected (S211). .

If the result of the determination in step S204 is that the telephone number has been registered, the calling / reception restriction registration area 17-1 of the storage unit 17 is searched to determine whether or not the input telephone number is restricted for outgoing calls ( (S205) If the transmission is restricted, the transmission is restricted (S210), and the transmission request is disconnected (S211).

If the result of the determination in step S205 is that there is no registration for outgoing call restriction, the outgoing call is permitted (S206), a normal call process is performed, and a call is started (S208). When the end of this call is detected (S208) Based on the charging information sent from the base station (not shown), the communication charge (charge amount) of the call is calculated, and the upper limit charge amount registration area 1 of the storage unit 17 is calculated.
The total charge amount stored in 7-2 is integrated and updated (S209).

When the result of the determination in step S203 has not reached the upper limit billing amount, the calling is permitted (S21).
2) At the same time as performing normal call processing and starting a call (21)
3) Based on the standard call charge per unit time registered in the standard call charge registration area 17-3 of the storage unit 17, the current value stored in the upper limit charge amount registration area 17-2 of the storage unit 17 is stored. The remaining call available time for the difference between the total charge amount up to and the upper limit charge amount is calculated (S214).

Standard call charge registration area 17 of storage unit 17
The standard telephone call charge per unit time registered in -3 can be arbitrarily set, for example, such as a minimum charge as a local call charge and a maximum charge as an outside call charge.

It is determined whether or not the remaining call available time calculated in step S214 is equal to or shorter than a predetermined time set in advance (S215). If the remaining time is equal to or longer than the predetermined time, the process proceeds to step S223 to continue the call. (S22
3) When the end of the call is detected (S224), the call charge (charge amount) of the call is calculated based on the charge information sent from the base station (not shown), and the upper limit charge amount registration area in the storage unit 17 is calculated. The total charge amount stored in 17-2 is updated (S209).

If the result of the determination in step S215 is not more than a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes), a timer is started (S216), and a predetermined time (for example, 3 minutes) is counted, and the remaining time of the timer is monitored. It is determined whether or not a predetermined time (for example, one minute) has been reached (S217), and when the remaining time has reached one minute, it is determined whether or not the call started in step S213 is ongoing (S218).

If the result of the determination in step S218 is that the call is not in progress (end of call), the flow shifts to step S209, where the call charge (charge amount) of the call is based on the charge information sent from the base station (not shown). Is calculated, and the total charge amount stored in the upper limit charge amount registration area 17-2 of the storage unit 17 is updated (S209).

If the result of the determination in step S218 is that a call is in progress, an alarm signal is sent out to notify the user that forced disconnection will take place in one minute (S219). The notification to the user is superimposed on, for example, the voice during the call and transmitted to the speaker 14, the display unit blinks, or a predetermined display blinks to display an alarm.

Thereafter, when a timeout of the timer is detected (S220), it is determined whether or not the call started in step S213 is ongoing (S221). If not, the process proceeds to step S209, where the base station (not shown) is operated. ) Based on the billing information sent from
Is calculated, and the upper limit charging amount registration area 17-2 of the storage unit 17 is calculated.
Is updated (S209).

If the result of the determination in step S221 is that the call is in progress, the call is forcibly disconnected (S222), and the call charge (charge amount) of the call is determined based on the billing information sent from the base station (not shown). ) Is calculated, and the total charge amount stored in the upper limit charge amount registration area 17-2 of the storage unit 17 is updated (S209).

As described above, when the preset upper limit billing amount has been reached, only the specially permitted telephone numbers, that is, telephone number registration (step S204) and no outgoing call restriction (step S205) are performed. If the outgoing call request is permitted and the maximum charge has not been reached, the available call time for the remaining total charge amount of the maximum charge amount is calculated based on a preset standard call charge per unit time, and the remaining call available time is calculated. Is continued for a predetermined time or more, the call is continued, and when the remaining available time is less than the predetermined time, the call is permitted for a predetermined time to permit the predetermined call,
In the middle of the call, the user is notified by an alarm that the remaining call time is short, and after a predetermined time for permitting the predetermined call elapses, the user is forcibly disconnected even during the call, so that a detailed call can be made. Incoming call restriction management can be performed, and it is possible to restrict the user from making an unintentional call with a sense of play.

Further, even if the maximum charge has been reached, telephone calls can be made to a specially permitted telephone number such as at home, so that there is no restriction on emergency communications.

Next, the operation at the time of an incoming call will be described with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. The upper limit billing amount is stored in the upper limit billing amount registration area 17 of the storage unit 17 according to the processing flow shown in FIG.
In addition, it is assumed that outgoing / incoming call regulation, outgoing call regulation, and incoming call regulation are registered in the outgoing / incoming call regulation registration area 17-1 of the storage unit 17.

When there is an incoming call, an incoming call mode is set (see FIG. 4).
Step S301), the main control unit 19 detects the caller number (S302).

If the caller is a public telephone, a telephone that has not subscribed to the caller ID notification service, or the receiver's mobile telephone device is set to non-caller notification of the caller ID notification service, the caller ID is detected. Since it is impossible, the process proceeds to step S311 to control incoming calls.

When the main control unit 19 detects the caller number in step S302, it searches the transmission / reception restriction registration area 17-1 of the storage unit 17 and determines whether or not the detected caller number is registered. (S303) If the telephone number corresponding to the caller number has not been registered, the process moves to step S311 to restrict incoming calls.

If the result of the determination in step S303 is that the telephone number has been registered, the calling / reception restriction registration area 17-1 of the storage unit 17 is searched to determine whether or not the telephone number is restricted for reception (S304). If there is incoming call regulation, the process moves to step S311 to regulate incoming calls.

If the result of determination in step S304 is that there is no incoming call restriction, incoming calls are permitted (S305), the caller number detected in step S302 is displayed on the display unit 20 (S306), and the incoming call is displayed to the user (S306). S307).

When the user goes off-hook (S308),
The call is started, and when the call is terminated (S310), the incoming call processing is terminated (310).

As described above, the presence / absence of incoming call restriction is determined based on the caller number notified by the caller ID notification service, and incoming call control is performed.
By registering the incoming call restriction in advance corresponding to the telephone number of the caller who does not want to receive an incoming call, inappropriate incoming calls can be restricted.

[0079]

As is apparent from the above description, the method for controlling outgoing / incoming calls of the present invention and the portable telephone device thereof are not intended for users (elementary school students, junior high school students, etc., low age groups) who actually use the portable telephone device. , A third party (a parent or the like) uses his / her password to register outgoing / incoming calls and incoming calls in accordance with the phone numbers subject to outgoing / incoming calls and their phone numbers,
Register the monthly maximum charge allowed and check each time the user performs a call operation to see if the total charge has reached the maximum charge.If the total charge has already reached the maximum charge, the user If the entered destination phone number is not registered,
When the destination phone number is registered and the outgoing call restriction is registered, the outgoing call is restricted. When the destination telephone number is registered and the outgoing call restriction is not registered, the outgoing call is permitted. When this call is completed, the billing amount of the call is calculated based on the billing information returned from the base station, and the accumulated billing amount is updated. The remaining call available time is calculated based on the pre-registered standard call charge information per unit time with respect to the difference between the amount and the current total charge amount, and the calculated remaining call available time is set in advance. If the time is longer than the specified time, the call is continued.If the remaining available time is less than a predetermined time, a timer is activated. Is Calculate the billing amount based on the incoming billing information and update the total billing amount. If the call is still in progress, send an alarm to notify the user of the call and notify the user during the call. If has been completed, calculate the billing amount based on the billing information returned from the base station and update the total billing amount.If the call is still in progress, forcibly disconnect the call and return from the base station. Since the billing amount is calculated based on the incoming billing information and the accumulated billing amount is updated, it is possible to prevent the user from talking on a casual schedule with a sense of play.

Even if the total charge amount has reached the upper limit charge amount, there is no need to regulate any outgoing calls as in the prior art.
Emergency contact is possible by registering the telephone number at home or the like in advance so as not to restrict outgoing calls.
