Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain notice of charge in voice at any time by storing a telephone call charge in a charging data base, referencing the charging data base upon the receipt of a charge notice request from an automobile telephone subscriber, editing the relevant charge information in voice and notifying it to the automobile telephone subscriber. CONSTITUTION:When an automobile telephone subscriber 3 starts calling, an automobile telephone exchange station 1 starts charging, and when the call is terminated, a charging rate/charge conversion section 8 converts a message rate into the talking charge and a storage command section 9 sends and stores a telephone call charge to a charging data base 7. When the automobile telephone subscriber 3 dials to recognize the call charge, a central processing unit 6 uses a reference command section 10 to retrieve a charge of the automobile telephone subscriber 3 for the date in the charging data base 7 based on the caller number and sends the retrieved data to a voice synthesizer 5, which converts the retrieved data into a voice according to a command of an edit command section 11 and charge is noticed by a command of a notice command section 12.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a call charge notification system, and more particularly to a call charge notification system for car phone subscribers.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when notifying car phone subscribers of call charges, the car telephone exchange created billing information for each call, stored it in a magnetic storage device installed at the car telephone exchange, and sent it to the billing center at a predetermined time. We are taking the method of doing so. Therefore, car phone subscribers are only informed of the call charges for the applicable period by the telephone operating company at the time of billing.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As mentioned above, in the conventional call charge notification system, billing information is stored in the exchange and billing center and is not output until a predetermined period of time has elapsed. However, there is a drawback in that it is only possible to receive fee notifications by means of fee notifications and fee invoices sent from a billing center or the like.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a call charge notification system that can provide a voice charge notification at any time in response to a call charge adjustment request from a mobile phone subscriber.

[Means to solve the problem]

The call charge notification system of the present invention provides a mobile telephone exchange with
a billing database that ranks call charges of car phone subscribers; a billing frequency/rate conversion unit that converts the billing rate into a rate each time the car phone subscriber makes a call; and the billing rate/rate conversion unit. means for instructing to store the converted charges in the billing database; means for instructing to refer to the billing database when receiving a charge notification request from the mobile phone subscriber; and charge information detected by the reference; This configuration includes means for sending the voice to a voice synthesizer and instructing it to be edited into voice, and means for instructing a mobile telephone subscriber who has requested a fee notification to be notified of the fee.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a mobile telephone exchange 1 controls a radio station 2 and connects to a mobile telephone subscriber 3 by radio. The mobile telephone exchange 1 includes a speech synthesizer 5 that synthesizes speech, a communication path switch 4 that accommodates the radio station 2 and the speech synthesizer 5,
It includes a billing database 7 that stores billing information and a central processing unit 6. The central processing bag W6 includes a billing frequency/fee conversion unit 8 that converts the billing frequency into a charge each time the car phone subscriber 3 makes a call, and a billing database that stores the charges converted by the billing frequency/fee conversion unit 8. 7, a reference instruction section 10 that instructs to refer to the billing database when receiving a fee notification request from the mobile phone subscriber 3, and a speech synthesis device that stores the charge information detected by the reference instruction section 10. 5, and a notification instruction section 12 that instructs the mobile phone subscriber 3 who has requested a fee notification to be notified of the fee.

The operation will be explained below. When the mobile telephone subscriber 3 starts a call operation such as making an outgoing call or receiving an incoming call, the mobile telephone exchange 1 starts a billing operation via the wireless station 2. When the car telephone subscriber 3 ends the call, the car telephone exchange 1 stores the billing data in the storage device (not shown) of the car telephone exchange as a billing ticket, and at the same time, the billing frequency/charge conversion unit 8 uses the billing ticket to The number of calls is converted into a call charge, and the storage instruction unit 9 sends the call charge of the car telephone subscriber 3 to the billing database 7 and stores it.

In order to know the call charges, car phone subscriber 3 dials a special number (
When you dial a special number (for example, #*1115#), the central processing unit 6 of the mobile telephone exchange 1 via the wireless station 2 receives the special number and the number of the caller who called the special number.
The mobile phone subscriber 3 is determined, and the reference instruction unit 10 determines the November 1 of the mobile phone subscriber 3 in the billing database 7.
Search for prices for 5 days. The billing database 7 sends the searched data to the speech synthesis device 5 via the central processing unit 6, and according to instructions from the editing instruction section 11, the speech synthesis bag W6 converts the search data received from the billing database 7 into speech. For example, "Your current commuting fee at OO o'clock on November 15th is 000 yen" is synthesized and sent to the car phone subscriber 3 via the wireless station 2 according to instructions from the notification instruction unit 12. Provide fee notifications.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention stores call charges in a billing database, and when a request signal from a car phone subscriber is received, starts the billing database and converts the call charges of the corresponding subscriber into voice. Since the present invention is configured to notify the person who has made the reservation, the present invention has the effect that the charge notification can be given by voice at any time in response to a call charge adjustment request from a car telephone subscriber.
