JPH0340555A - Speaking system within specified rate at request connection - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To restrict speaking time in accordance with a specified rate based upon a requesting extension by executing speaking between a requesting subscriber and a requested subscriber under timer monitoring, and when time corresponding to a specified rate based upon a requested extension has passed, forcedly restoring the speaking between the requesting subscriber and the requested subscriber. CONSTITUTION:When a central processing unit(CPU) 8 connects a requesting extension with a requested destination 3, the requested destination responds to the connection, speaking between the extension and the requested destination 3 is executed and a timer circuit 10 is started. When the extension 2 is restored, speaking between the requesting source 1 and the requested source is executed under timer monitoring. When the specified time has passed, the CPU 8 is started by the timer circuit 10 and speaking between the requesting source 1 and the requested destination 3 is forcedly restored. Consequently, timeunrestricted speaking can be eliminated and a high rate due to long speaking can be restricted.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a requested connection method in an automatic exchange, and more particularly to a call time limit method according to a specified charge by the requested extension.

(Prior art) Conventionally, requested connections in private branch exchanges equipped with billing devices have not been designed to automatically limit the call time after connection, and the billing device has to display the call charges after the call, that is, at the time of recovery. only.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The above-described conventional requested connection has the problem that there is no limit to the call time, so there is a risk that the call will be made for a long time, making it difficult to bill later. In addition, if the requesting party does not see recovery on the calling side, such as a central office line, and the connected party also cannot see a recovery signal, there is a drawback that call recovery may not be possible.
Currently, such requested connections themselves are regulated.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Therefore, the present invention provides a call method within the specified charge at the time of the requested connection, in which the board member specifies the charge at the time of the requested connection, and the call can be made only during the time within that range. There is a particular thing.

That is, the designated rate call method according to the present invention is a private branch exchange having a rate device and a timer circuit, and a timer circuit and a section-wide device that limits call time according to the rate designation special number and request destination number operated from the extension line handling the request. The call between the requester and the requestee is monitored by a timer, and the call between the requester and the requestee is forcibly restored when the time corresponding to the charge specified by the request handling extension has passed. .

(Example) Next, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 are relay system diagrams of a private branch exchange according to an embodiment of the present invention. In particular, FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the specified rate setting state by extension 2 handling the request at the time of request connection, and FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the state of a telephone call between a request source 1 and a request destination 3 under monitoring. The connection request source 1 included in the public network or private network and the request destination 3 included in the public network are each connected to the switch network 7 via the trunk 4, and the connection value *ni (fa2) is connected to the switch via the extension circuit 6. Connected to network 7. As shown in Figure 1, extension 2 handling request #I puts requester 1 on hold due to hooking,
By dialing the special number and request number for the charge specification, the central processing unit 8 transfers the information from the register 5 to the billing device 9, and from the billing device 9 transfers call time information for the specified charge to the timer circuit 10. Further, the central processing unit B connects the request handler 1i2 and the request destination 3. When the request destination 3 responds, a call is made between the request extension 2 and the request destination 3, and the timer circuit 10 is activated. When the request-handling extension 2 is restored, a call is made between the requester 1 and the requestee 3 under the supervision of a timer, as shown in FIG. When the specified time comes, the timer circuit 10 activates the central processing unit 8, and the telephone call between the requester 1 and the requestee 3 is forcibly restored.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, by performing a call within the specified charge for a requested connection by dialing an extension that handles the request, calls with unlimited time are eliminated and high charges for long calls are regulated. This has the effect of being able to connect the request source and the request destination, which do not have a recovery signal.

Claims (1)

[Claims] A private branch exchange that has a charging device and a timer circuit has a charging device and a timer circuit that limits call time according to the special number for specifying charges and the number of the requesting party by operation from the extension line handling the request, and the requester and the requesting party can monitor the timer. A call method within a specified charge when a request is connected, which is characterized in that the call between the requester and the requestee is forcibly restored after the time corresponding to the charge specified by the extension handled by the request has passed.
