Description

  The present invention relates to a mail-based incoming billing system and method, and more particularly to a specific telephone when a link in which a passcode is embedded in a URL of a C2D (Click to Dial) server described in a received mail is clicked. The present invention relates to a mail-based incoming call charging system and method for charging an incoming call for the entire call through a C2D (Click to Dial) server that enables a call to a number.

As an incoming billing service in the conventional first telephone service, a service for the following cases is provided (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1).
(A) The calling user requests the incoming call charge when setting up the call, and the incoming call user selects whether to accept the incoming call charge.
(B) A calling user or a receiving user having a function for requesting incoming call charges requests for incoming call charges for the rest of the call in the call communication phase.
(C) The incoming user requests an incoming call charge for the entire call in the call communication phase.
(D) The incoming call is charged unconditionally without requiring the incoming call request from the caller.

As a second incoming billing service, there is a method of billing incoming calls only from caller numbers registered in advance by the recipient (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2001-309088 A TTC standard (JT-1256 3rd edition)

  However, in the first incoming call accounting method, there is no provision for a case where the incoming caller permits the incoming call charge only from a specific caller before the call.

  In the second incoming call accounting method, the callee can register the caller number by specifying the caller number in advance, but the callee needs to specify the telephone number individually at the time of registration. However, it is difficult to perform registration for permitting the incoming call charge for a communication partner that is not, and a deletion operation when it is not permitted.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a mail-based incoming call charging system and method that can simplify caller ID registration processing before calling in the C2D system. And

  The Web mail server 100 is a server that displays an input screen on the terminal A10, receives information input from the terminal A, creates a mail, and transmits the mail to a destination. Also, the destination information acquired from the terminal A10 and the user information to be charged for incoming calls to the C2D server 200 are extracted, registered in the local server and the C2D server 200, and the expiration date set by the user has arrived. Then, a request to delete information registered in the C2D server 200 is made.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the Web mail server 100 includes a transmission / reception interface (I / F) 110, a mail creation / control unit 120, a registration / deletion unit 130, a user DB 140, a call charging / calling party deletion schedule storage unit 150, a service It consists of a user phone book DB 160.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the user DB 140 stores an incoming billing number, a display name, a telephone number, an e-mail address, a login password, etc. as information for authentication when the user logs in. Is used to uniquely identify the user.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the incoming call origination / reception party deletion schedule storage unit 150 deletes the caller telephone number, the callee telephone number, the passcode, and the record of the incoming call origination / reception party DB 260 in the C2D server 200 described later (valid Period).

  As shown in FIG. 8, the user phone book DB 160 holds, for each user, the mail address and telephone number of the other party to whom the user sends mail, in association with each other, and is read from the mail creation / control unit 120. . In FIG. 8, both the e-mail address and the telephone number are stored, but when the user on the receiving side does not know the telephone number of the caller, only the e-mail address is registered. If the recipient of the email is also a user of this service, the phone number can be omitted. In this case, the phone number registered by the other party is obtained by searching the user DB 140 using the email address as a key. It is also possible to make the searched telephone number private on the user's terminal.

  When the mail creation / control unit 120 receives a login from the terminal A10, the mail creation / control unit 120 checks the login password of the user DB 140. If the verification is successful, an input screen for creating an email is transmitted to the terminal A10, and an email is created based on the information input from the terminal A10. At this time, a telephone directory list registered in advance by the user from the service user telephone directory DB 160 is acquired and transmitted to the terminal A 10 via the transmission / reception I / F 110. Further, the pass code generated in the C2D server 200 is acquired by transmitting the callee telephone number acquired from the service user telephone directory DB 160 to the C2D server 200 based on the mail address of the terminal A10. The created electronic mail is given the address (URL) of the C2D server 200 including the passcode, and is transmitted to the mail address of the designated destination terminal B 20 via the transmission / reception I / F 110.

The start time and the end time are recorded and used when the charge unit 240 calculates a charge charged to the user.

  When the registration / deletion unit 220 acquires a set of a passcode, a callee telephone number, and a caller telephone number from the Web mail server 100 via the I / F 210, the registration / deletion unit 220 registers the set in the incoming call origination / calling party registration DB 260. Similarly, when a passcode is acquired as a caller telephone number deletion request because the expiration date has arrived from the Web mail server 100, the telephone number corresponding to the passcode is deleted from the incoming call origination / calling party registration DB 260. Further, when a call time information notification for notifying the start and end of a call is acquired from the call processing device 300, the call start time or the call end time corresponding to the caller number is set in the billing DB 270.

  The search unit 230 searches the incoming call origination / incoming registration DB 260 based on the pass code included in the call request from the terminal B20 received via the I / F 210, and obtains the callee telephone number and the caller telephone number. To do.

  The passcode generation unit 250 generates a passcode corresponding to the callee telephone number transmitted from the Webmail server 100, passes it to the Webmail server 100 via the I / F 210, and stores the callee telephone number in the memory (see FIG. (Not shown).

  The charging unit 240 refers to the charging DB 270 at an arbitrary timing, calculates the call time from the call start time to the call end time for each caller telephone number, sets the call time in the charge DB 270, and performs a charging process for the incoming telephone number .

  FIG. 12 is a sequence chart of the operation in the first embodiment of the present invention.

  In the following, it is assumed that the user A of the terminal A10 is a call recipient and the user B of the terminal B20 is a caller. Note that the recipient and sender are not mail recipients / senders.

  First, when user A accesses a website for receiving this service from terminal A10, the mail address and password of terminal A10 are input from terminal A10 via transmission / reception I / F 110 to web mail server 100. The The Web mail server 100 identifies and authenticates the user A by checking the contents of the user DB 140 based on the acquired mail address and password of the terminal A in the mail creation / control unit 120 (step 101).

  If the authentication is successful, the Web mail server 100 transmits an input screen as shown in FIG. 13 to the terminal A10 and also transmits a telephone directory list of the service user telephone directory DB 160 provided for each user. To do. The telephone directory list is transmitted in a format that can be selected by the user A clicking a desired destination. Thus, when the user A clicks the destination from the telephone directory, the user A is set at a predetermined display position on the screen shown in FIG. Further, an expiration date for validating the incoming billing from the user B is designated and transmitted to the Web mail server 100 together with the mail text for the user B (step 102). The information transmitted to the Web mail server 100 includes the mail address of the sender (recipient), the mail address of the mail destination (sender), and the telephone number of the sender (ex: 03-yyyy-yyyy) Yes), text, expiration date.

  The web mail server 100 creates an e-mail based on the information acquired from the terminal A10 (step 103).

  The Web mail server 100 searches the service user telephone directory DB 160 with the mail address of the transmission source (terminal A), obtains the callee telephone number, and transmits the callee telephone number to the C2D server 200. Issuance of a pass code for the request (step 104). The C2D server 200 generates a passcode in the passcode generation unit 250, stores it in a memory (not shown), and transmits the passcode to the Web mail server 100 (step 105).

  In the mail creation / control unit 120, the Web mail server 100 uses the service user telephone directory based on the destination mail address if the telephone number of the terminal B (caller telephone number (ex: 03-yyyy-yyyy) does not exist). (Obtained by searching from the DB 160), the phone number of the terminal A (recipient's phone number (ex: 03-xxxx-xxxx)), and the pass code acquired from the C2D server 200 are transmitted to the C2D server 200 as a set ( Step 106).

  Further, the mail creation / control unit 120 of the Web mail server 100 extracts an expiration date corresponding to the destination from the information acquired from the terminal A10, and registers it in the incoming call origination / reception party deletion schedule storage unit 150 (step 107).

  The C2D server 200 receives the pass code, the recipient telephone number (ex: 03-xxxx-xxxx) and the sender telephone number (ex: 03-yyyy-) acquired from the Web mail server 100 via the registration / deletion unit 220. yyyy) is registered in the incoming call origination / reception party registration DB 260 (step 108).

  The transmission / reception I / F 110 of the Web mail server 100 adds the address (URL) of the C2D server 200 including the passcode acquired in Step 105 to the mail created in Step 103, and transmits it to the terminal B20 (Step 109). ).

  User B confirms the mail as shown in FIG. 14 and clicks the URL of the C2D server 200 displayed on the screen of terminal B20 (in FIG. 14, “here” is displayed as a link). Thus, a call request is made to the C2D server 200 (step 110).

  When the C2D server 200 receives the call request from the terminal B20, the search unit 230 searches the incoming call origination / reception party DB 260 based on the passcode included in the accessed URL (step 111). Acquire corresponding caller telephone numbers (ex: 03-xxxx-xxxx and 03-yyyy-yyyy). At this time, if the calling / calling party telephone number corresponding to the passcode is not registered, it is assumed that the terminal B20 responds that the call request cannot be accepted. If the calling / calling party telephone number can be retrieved, a call request is made by transmitting the calling / calling party telephone number to the call processing device 300 (step 112).

  The call processing device 300 notifies the incoming / outgoing party telephone numbers (ex: 03-xxxx-xxxx and 03-yyyy-yyyy) acquired from the C2D server 200 (step 113). Thereby, the telephone call between the terminal A and the terminal B is started (step 114). When the call is disconnected after the call (step 115), the call processing apparatus 300 calculates the call charge by calling party telephone numbers (ex: 03-xxxx-xxxx and 03-yyyy-yyyy), call time information (call start) The time / call end time) is notified to the C2D server 200 (step 116).

  In the registration / deletion unit 220, the C2D server 200 stores the information received from the call processing device 300 in the charging DB 270 (step 117), and the charging unit 230 charges the callee telephone number (user B) at a predetermined timing. Processing is performed (step 118).

  The mail creation / control unit 120 of the Web mail server 100 sends a passcode to the C2D server 200 via the transmission / reception I / F 110 when the expiration date registered in the incoming call origination / reception party deletion schedule storage unit 150 arrives. By transmitting, a request to delete the calling / called party telephone number is transmitted (step 119).

  When the C2D server 200 receives the phone number deletion request, the registration / deletion unit 220 deletes the record of the calling party telephone number corresponding to the passcode received from the incoming call origination / calling party registration DB 260 (step 120).

  In FIG. 12, in steps 104 to 106, the Web mail server 100 registers the passcode received from the C2D server 200 and the caller / telephone number in the C2D server 200. Without being limited to this example, the following procedure is also possible.

  When the C2D server 200 issues a passcode acquisition request including the calling and called party telephone numbers from the Web mail server 100 (step 104), the C2D server 200 generates and receives the passcode in the passcode generation unit 250. The caller / caller telephone number and pass code are paired and stored in the incoming call origination / caller registration DB 260 (step 108 ′), and the passcode is transmitted to the Web mail server 100 (step 105 ′).

  As a result, when a call request including a passcode is received from the terminal B20 (step 110), the C2D server 200 refers to the incoming call origination / calling party registration DB 260 to obtain the calling / calling party telephone number (step 111). A call request is made to the processing device 300 (step 112).

  According to the present invention, a caller who receives a mail can make a call from a telephone number designated when the mail is created. Further, in terms of operability, the sender need only perform a simple operation of clicking the link in which the C2D server, URL, and passcode are embedded in the mail text. Furthermore, in the present invention, the validity period of incoming billing can be arbitrarily set for each caller, and once the validity period has been registered, the validity period can be automatically deleted. .

[Second Embodiment]
In the first embodiment described above, an example is shown in which the C2D server 200 is requested to delete the calling / calling party telephone number when the expiration date arrives. An example of making a request will be described.

  FIG. 15 shows the configuration of the Web mail server in the second embodiment of the present invention.

  The Web mail server 100 shown in the figure is provided with an incoming call origination / reception party management DB 155 in which the effective number of times as shown in FIG. 16 is set instead of the incoming charge / reception party deletion schedule storage unit 150 shown in FIG. This is a configuration in which a counter 170 for counting each time an incoming billing call is completed from the device 300 is added.

  In this embodiment, every time a call end notification is acquired from the call processing device 300 in the counter 170 of the Web mail server 100, 1 is subtracted from the effective number, and the remaining number is calculated as the effective number in the incoming call accounting management unit 155. When the remaining number becomes 0, a request to delete the caller / caller telephone number is transmitted to the C2D server 200. Note that this method is an example, and the effective number preset by the recipient and the number of calls by incoming billing are compared, and if the method is to limit incoming billing calls more than the valid number, these examples are included in these examples. It is not limited.

  Except for the Web mail server 100 described above, the description is omitted because it is the same as the first embodiment described above.
