It is written in the memory of the call frequency of 0. The writing method is the same as the registration of the speed dial telephone number.
However, the transmission data is different, that is, the activation data for activating the wireless card 200, the write command meaning the writing of the callable data, and the callable data. Phone 1 for write commands
00 and the wireless card 200, an arbitrary code may be used. This data is sent to the wireless card 20
When 0 is received, the call availability is written in the call availability storage area of the memory 204.

As another method, a method of periodically deducting the call charge during a call can be considered. After making a normal dial call, the call charge per unit time is determined. Here, during a call, the call charge frequency is periodically reduced, for example, every minute. First, the call charge for one minute is deducted immediately after the call is started by the above method, and again if the call is continued after one minute. In addition, 1 minute after that point, this operation is continued until the call ends.

In the meantime, when the callable frequency becomes insufficient during a call, a warning sound or a message to that effect is displayed on the display 107. If the phone is a public phone, the call will be continued by paying the call charge in coins, and if it is a general phone, the call charge will be charged to the subscriber phone.
Continue the call.

When the personal identification numbers do not match, a message prompting "re-input" is displayed on the display 107. If there is a mismatch for several times, it may be illegally used. For example, if there is a mismatch for three consecutive times, subsequent use is prohibited.

Prepaid call charge withdrawal button 1
Cancel button 1 to cancel after pressing 12
Press 11. This cancels the automatic withdrawal of call charges. After that, if the corresponding telephone is a public telephone, a coin is inserted to make a call, and if the telephone is a general telephone, the call charge is charged to the subscribed telephone as in normal use.

The above method is particularly effective for public telephones. A normal public telephone is put into a callable state by inserting a coin, but according to this method, the call charge can be paid without contact without having a coin.

Next, as a prepaid wireless card 200
A method of registering the callable frequency will be described. FIG.
FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically showing a configuration of a callable frequency registration device 300. The callable frequency registration device 300 is, for example,
It is installed in each business office or city of a telecommunications carrier who owns a telephone line.

If the owner of the wireless card 200 is, for example, “10
A case of registering the "0" frequency will be described. The owner of the wireless card 200 positions the wireless card 200 in a communicable area determined by the transmitting antenna 301 and the receiving antenna 302 included in the callable frequency registration device 300.

When the "confirmation button" of the registration button group 303 is pressed, it is possible to confirm the remaining call availability of the wireless card 200. That is, when the “confirmation button” is pressed, the data for reading the callable frequency is transmitted to the wireless card 200. What is that data?
Start-up data for activating the wireless card 200, a command for reading the callable frequency, and data for transmitting an unmodulated wave for supplying power and a clock until the transmission of the callable frequency is completed. Configure. Upon receiving this, the wireless card 200 transmits the callable frequency in the same manner as the data reading as described above,
The signal is received by the receiving antenna 302 of the callable frequency registration device 300.

In the callable frequency registration device 300, the wireless transmission / reception circuit 304 demodulates the received signal transmitted and received from the wireless card 200, and the data processing circuit 305 performs the processing of displaying the frequency on the display 306. It has become.

For example, if the callable frequency is "10", "90" is registered for registration of "100" frequency.
The frequency is insufficient. Therefore, under the control of the data processing circuit 305, “90” is given to the owner of the wireless card 200.
A message prompting the user to charge the fee for the frequency (display the charge for the "90" frequency on the display 306) and to perform an operation to set the callable frequency of the wireless card 200 to the "100" frequency is displayed on the display 306. indicate.

The owner of the wireless card 200 is the display 30
According to the display at 6, a predetermined amount of money is inserted into the money slot 307, and the callable frequency is registered. The operation for registering the callable frequency is, for example, as follows. By pressing the "Register button" once, it is notified that the operation from now on is call frequency rewriting, and the new call frequency is 100, ie, "1".
A corresponding button is pressed from "0" and "0" and the registration button group 303, and finally the "registration button" is pressed again.
At this time, the input registration frequency is displayed on the display unit 306. When the last “registration button” is pressed, the callable frequency registration device 300 registers the callable frequency. The flow of operation is similar to that of writing data. As the transmission data, there are activation data for activating the wireless card 200, a write command that means writing the callable frequency, and the callable frequency. As for the write command, an arbitrary code may be used as long as it is agreed between the callable frequency registration device 300 and the wireless card 200. These data are arbitrarily modulated and amplified, and transmitted from the transmitting antenna 301 to the wireless card 200.

The wireless card 200 receives the signal, demodulates it, and writes "100" frequency in a predetermined area of the memory 204 as a new callable frequency. When the registration is completed, the "confirmation button" can be pressed to confirm the call availability newly registered in the wireless card 200. Alternatively, it is also possible to perform a confirmation operation after registration without this operation. In addition, if necessary, the change payment 308
Is paid to the holder of the wireless card 200 from.

For example, when using the callable frequency registration device 300 at a business office of a telecommunications carrier who owns a telephone line, the callable frequency registration device 300 does not necessarily have a coin slot 307 and a change payment port. It is not necessary to provide 308. However, by providing the currency input port 307 and the change payment port 308 in the call availability registration device 300, there is an advantage that the call availability registration is completely automated by the control of the data processing circuit 305.

As described above, according to the second embodiment, the owner of the wireless card 200 makes the telephone set 100
When the wireless card 200 is used, the handset 150 of the telephone 100 is raised and, for example, either the button 110 or 112 of the telephone 100 is pressed to select whether to automatically withdraw the call charge from the financial institution or to pay the call charge in advance. In response to a request from the telephone set 100, the account number and the secret code number stored in the memory 204, or the callable frequency and the secret code number are stored in the telephone set 10 via the antenna 201.
0, and the telephone 100 receives the information transmitted from the wireless card 200 via the receiving antenna 152,
It is stored in the memory 108, the personal identification number is collated based on the stored information, and if the two coincide, payment processing of a predetermined call charge is performed so that each individual can use without using cash. It becomes possible to request payment of the call charge to the.

Further, in the case of the prepaid method of the call charge, it is necessary to register the callable frequency in the wireless card 200 possessed by each individual. In this case, the callable frequency registering device 300 is configured as the configuration of the telephone communication system. With the above, it becomes possible to easily register and update the call availability.

In the first and second embodiments described above, the telephone set intended for voice communication has been described.
The above-described embodiment is also effective with the same configuration for the speed dial and the usage charge of the facsimile using the same telephone line.
