Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a charging method suitable for charging devices such as automatic private branch exchanges and key telephones that accommodate lines of a plurality of first-class telecommunications carriers with different fee structures. It is something.

(Prior Art) As described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-2755, a conventional device relates to a device that can be connected to communication line networks of multiple companies with different fee structures, and simply charges the communication line network to the market. The system calculates communication network charges by setting up a table that stores information corresponding to external telephone numbers, and when multiple companies' communication networks are used for a single call, the unit charge for each line is calculated. Therefore, in order to accurately calculate charges, it was necessary to create a charge table for each communication line network used for each area number.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in recent years, relay switching services provided by Type 1 carriers (NCCs) require an NTT line from the originating subscriber accommodating station to the NCC originating barrier station; Connection is made through an NCC line from the gateway station on the receiving side to a receiving subscriber station, and via an NTT line from the gateway station on the receiving side to the receiving subscriber reception station.

The object of the present invention is to provide a first toll relay exchange service as described above.
In an automatic private branch exchange that accommodates various telecommunications carrier lines,
To provide a billing device that can reduce the enormous amount of data creation man-hours by accurately calculating call charges when using an NCC line and by standardizing data for each installation area.

(Means for solving the problem) The above objectives are as follows: (1) Accurate charge calculation at the time of NCC call, from the originating subscriber accommodation station to the NCC originating side barrier station, and from the NCC originating side barrier station to the NCC terminating side barrier station. Accurate charge calculation can be achieved by calculating charges separately for each route up to and from the NCC receiving-side barrier station to the NTT receiving subscriber accommodation station, and using the sum as the NCC charge.

(2) Paying attention to the fact that the charges from the NCC terminating side barrier station to the NTT terminating subscriber accommodating station are the same regardless of where the caller is, the charges from the NCC terminating side barrier station to the terminating subscriber accommodating station are By storing the setting data in the common memory area, this part of the setting data can be created once and used regardless of the installation area, thereby reducing the amount of data created for each installation area. done.

(Function) The technical means for realizing the present invention is software technology using a microconverter, and the
C The NTT charge (NTT+) to the calling station is determined by the NCC selection number (e.g. 007).
0 is determined by the second electric power station). (Charge calculation is based on the conventional calculation method.) The NCC charge (NCCK) from the NCC originating side barrier station to the terminating side barrier station can be calculated using the same method as the NTT fee calculation method.

Further, the NTT fee (NTTz) from the NCC terminating side barrier station to the terminating side subscriber accommodation station is calculated using the conventional calculation method.

Since the NTT charges to the NCC originating gateway station vary depending on the location of the station where the originating subscriber is accommodated, by separating the tariff table into NTT and NCCK+NTT2,
The originating station is NCCK+NT within the same NCC barrier station jurisdiction.
The same price table can be used for T.

In addition, NTT charges (NTT2) are applied from the NCC receiving side barrier station.
Since the calculation data is common throughout the country, by storing NTT2's rate table in a common memory, it can be used as common data no matter where the originating station is.

(Example) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the method for calculating call charges when using an NCC line in the type 1 carrier billing system of the present invention. When you make a call, the call fee is the sum of the NTT line usage fee and the NCC line usage fee.

In other words, the NTT line usage fee N from the telephone station Ea where the calling side telephone 5UB-A is accommodated to the NCC barrier station Ga
TT+, NCC line usage fee from NCC barrier station Ga to Ob NCCK, and the receiving phone from NCC barrier station Ob 5
The total sum of NTT line usage charges NTT2 up to Eb where LIB-b is accommodated is NTTt+NCCK+NTT2=call charge.

The above describes the principle of calculating call charges when using an NCC line, and next, the actual connection configuration will be explained with reference to FIG.

Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the connectable areas when using the NCC line, and shows NCC-A company as an example.
There are gateway stations 01 to G4, and each barrier station has an NTT telephone station El-oxBr-n, etc., which accommodates telephone subscribers within its service area (indicated by the dotted line).

Applying the call charge types shown in Figure 1 in 22, the dotted line for each barrier station is NTT charge NTT+ (calling side), NTT
2 (receiving side), and NCCK is used between each barrier station. In addition, from Figure 2, the service area charges for each gateway station can be calculated starting from that gateway station, and the value is calculated based on the NTT2 charge for the called subscriber regardless of which gateway station the originating subscriber is located at. It shows that they are common.

Based on this idea, the present invention aims to standardize complex data settings for calculating call charges, and will be specifically explained below with reference to an example of a data setting table.

Table 1-1 shows the charge index (MBI) used to calculate call charges.
) indicates the number of seconds of talk time per unit amount (7 yen in the example). Examples are Table 1 Table 1-2 MBI of NCC company 1 is 45 seconds MBI 6 is 4
Indicates that you can talk for 7 yen for 4 seconds.

On the other hand, Table 1-2 shows which MBI value is assigned to each area code (-For boat fishing, the further away from the calling station, the more MB is assigned.
In the example, "011" and "01"
2-019" is assigned 1 and 1021 is assigned 6. Please note that depending on the area code, which NCC barrier station is applicable is determined by NC.
This can be known from the service area explanatory materials of each company, and this is fixedly determined. Therefore, since the gateway station on the calling side is determined based on the calling station and the gateway station on the receiving side is determined according to the area code of the other party, the NCCK charges are as shown in Tables 1-1 and 1-1.
It can be calculated using 2.

Table 2-1 is an example of a table for NTT similar to Table 1-1, and Table 2-2 is a table showing the allocation of area numbers and their MBIs for calculating NTT's called call charge NTT2. The area number area that can be connected to each barrier station is determined in advance, and as in Table 1-2, the corresponding barrier station is determined by the area number, so the MBI value is set for each area number.Table 2-1 4 shows an example where three NCC companies are included in Table 3. In other words, each NCC company has its own barrier station installation location, usage fee, service area range, etc. Table 1-1.1-2. It is necessary to create tables corresponding to Tables 2-1 and 2-2, respectively, and Table 4 is an example of aggregating these tables.

In the present invention, once the transmitting gateway station is determined, the NCC usage fee N
The CNCC uplink usage fee NTT2 is determined as shown in Table 4. In other words, as shown in Table 4, when the originating subscriber (the location where the private branch exchange equipped with the present invention is installed) is accommodated in the same gateway station, NTT2 and NCCK corresponding to the area number of the receiving party are M
By creating a BI value correspondence table, this data can be commonly used.

Table 5-A...Table 5-C is an independent NTT2 rate table for each NCC company from Table 4.
As explained in Figure 2, the NTT2 rate table has values that do not change no matter where the originating gateway station is, so by setting it up independently, this data can be used as common data regardless of where the private branch exchange is installed. Available for use.

Table 5-A Table 5-C As explained above, according to the present invention, it becomes possible to commonly use the complicated and enormous amount of data for calculating NCC charges.

(Effects of the invention) With the present invention, data settings for calculating call charges when using an NCC line had to be created for each location where a private branch exchange is installed, but the commonality of setting data is found and integrated. By doing this, in addition to making it possible to use the data created once as common data within the same service area, by separating the NTT2 tables, the setting data for NTT2, which requires the largest amount of data, can be used. can be made available for common use nationwide.
