受けとる考えは見当らない。Conventionally, in packet switching networks that charge different fees depending on the time for communication between terminals with time differences, at the time of change of charge classification, the packet switching equipment accommodating the other terminal is requested to send the charging rate, and the packet switching equipment accommodating the other terminal charges the charge. I don't see any idea of receiving degrees.

区分を一致させる手段について配慮されていない。The above-mentioned conventional technology is based on the communication between terminals with a one-time difference, and the time 4'9 separate rate classification and terminals that are charged (
No consideration has been given to means for matching time zone charge classifications in packet switching equipment that accommodates billing terminals.

を持つ必要があった。For this reason, the packet switching equipment on the side of non-charging terminals needed to have a large amount of information in the storage device of the packet switching equipment in order to obtain the other party's time difference and rate by time zone of all charging terminals that could be connected. .
本発明の目的は、これら非課金端末側のパケット交換機

交換網課金方式を提供することにある。An object of the present invention is to provide a packet switching network charging system in which the packet switching equipment on the side of these non-charging terminals does not store information for all A-gold terminals in the storage device.

ものである。[Means for solving problem 11111] In order to achieve the above objective, the packet switching equipment on the charging terminal side requests the packet switching equipment on the non-charging terminal side to notify the charging frequency at the rate classification change time, and The packet switch on the billing terminal side sends the billing frequency to the packet switch on the billing terminal side, and the packet switch on the billing terminal side also receives the billing frequency of the non-charging terminal and the billing frequency of the billing terminal of its own packet switch. The amount is totaled and charges are added according to the charge classification for the time.

要はない。At the rate classification change time, a request is issued from the 7a gold terminal side packet switch to the non-charging terminal side packet switch to notify the charging frequency. As a result, when there is a time difference between the charging terminal side and the non-charging terminal side and charging is performed with different charge classifications depending on the hour, the charge classification change time that determines the charge classification can be determined by the charging frequency notification request of the packet switching equipment on the charging terminal side. This eliminates the need to synchronize the times between packet switches, and for this reason, the storage device of a packet switch stores information about the time difference between terminals accommodated in its own packet switch and terminals accommodated in other packet switches. There's no need to have it.
