U2 has a function of making a judgment process and performing a calling process and an incoming call process. The data registered in the EEPROM 5 has a function of enabling registration or change by operating the keypad 7.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional portable telephone corresponding to a plurality of telephone numbers, the portable telephone must be a portable telephone having a function of registering a plurality of subscriber numbers. Therefore, when receiving a plurality of subscriber numbers, there is a problem that it is necessary to register a plurality of subscriber numbers in the mobile phone itself.

[0004] An object of the present invention is to solve the above problem.
Even if the mobile phone itself does not have any special functions, if you register in advance, you can temporarily use another subscriber number in addition to the original subscriber number on the same terminal, which is different from personal use. It is an object of the present invention to provide a different number providing device that enables clear use in business use.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a method for providing a different number in a portable telephone.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, another apparatus for providing a number according to the present invention provides an exchange and, through the exchange, a user with a use period, billing information, a registration number, a second subscriber. A voice response device for transmitting voice guidance for prompting the input of a number or a voice guidance for notifying a line number and a second subscriber number, and recognizing a registration number, a service access number, and a transmission number input by a user. A signal receiver, a processing device that performs conversion of numbers and creates billing destination information based on information from the signal receiver, and a signal transmitter that performs number transmission based on information from the processing device,
A database for storing and retrieving number information and billing destination information is provided.

Further, it is preferable to use the different number providing device of the present invention for a portable telephone.

Further, the voice response device, the signal receiver, the processing device, the signal transmitter, and the database are arranged on the telephone exchange side, and the mobile telephone itself does not need a plurality of subscriber numbers.

[0009] Still further, it is preferable that the signal receiver is a push button dial (PB) signal receiver.

Preferably, the signal transmitter is a multi-frequency (MF) signal transmitter.

Further, without the intervention of an operator or the like,
Another number can be provided by the user's own operation.

Further, an operation console may be further provided for the operator to perform operations such as number assignment and number registration based on information from the requester and the user.

[0013] Voice guidance for prompting the user of the cellular phone to enter a usage period, billing destination information, a registration number and a second subscriber number, or voice guidance for notifying the registration number and the second subscriber number. Notification step, a step of recognizing a registration number and a calling number inputted by a user, a step of converting a number and creating billing destination information based on the recognized information, and a step of retrieving the created information. In addition, it is possible to provide a separate number providing method including a step of transmitting a number and a step of storing number information and billing destination information.

[0014] The different number providing apparatus of the present invention is particularly useful for a user of a mobile phone, for a use period, billing destination information, a registration number,
Means for notifying voice guidance for prompting entry of a second subscriber number, or for notifying voice guidance for notifying a registration number and a second subscriber number, and means for recognizing a registration number and a calling number input by a user And means for performing number conversion and billing information creation based on the information from the recognizing means, means for transmitting a number based on information from this means, and means for storing number information and billing destination information. Be composed.

According to the present invention, a user can clearly distinguish between a business use and a personal use by transmitting a registration number and a destination number notified in advance at the time of business use. Also, when making a call to the user during business use, the caller will not make a call to the user's personal subscriber number, but to the business use second subscriber number. It is not necessary to know the user number.

The voice response device 15 includes the requester 11 and the user 1
In response to the access from 2, the user is notified of the procedure guidance, registration guidance, registration number, and second subscriber number. PB
The signal receiver 20 receives the registration number, the second subscriber number, and the subscriber number of the mobile phone used by the requester 11 and the user 12, and sends the reception result to the processing device 18. The processing device 18 analyzes the information sent from the PB signal receiver 20, accesses the database 19, and performs processes such as identification of the subscriber number, conversion of the subscriber number, and determination of the billing destination. The database 19 stores the processing device 1
8 is stored. The MF signal transmitter 21 transmits a number based on information sent from the processing device 18.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a signal transmitted from the control panel 22, the requester 11 and the user 12 on which the operator performs operations such as number assignment and number registration based on information from the exchange 14, the requester 11 and the user 12. Signal receiver 16 to be received, processing device 18 for analyzing the reception result of signal receiver 16, database 19 for storing billing destination and subscriber number information, signal transmitter 1 used for number transmission
7 is comprised. The operator of the console 22 responds to the access from the requester 11 and the user 12 by issuing a registration number, a second subscriber number, notifying and accessing the database 1.
9 is registered. The signal receiver 16 receives and analyzes the registration number, the second subscriber number, and the subscriber number of the mobile phone used by the requester 11 and the user 12, and processes the reception result and the analysis result into a processing device 18. Notify to Processing unit 18
Analyzes the information sent from the signal receiver 16, accesses the database 19, and performs processing such as identification of a subscriber number, conversion of a subscriber number, and determination of a billing destination. The database 19 stores subscriber number information and billing destination information. The signal transmitter 17 transmits necessary signals under the control of the processing device 18.

As described above, in the different number providing apparatus of the present invention, registration is performed in advance, and another subscriber number can be temporarily used in the same terminal in addition to the original subscriber number. For business use, call the subscriber to another subscriber number, and for personal use, call the original subscriber number. When the user makes a call, the billing address is not addressed to the individual but becomes a billing address registered for business use by simultaneously transmitting the registration number during business use. At the time of personal use, the billing destination is addressed to the individual by transmitting the message as it is. In this way, registration is performed in advance and another subscriber number is issued, so that business use can be clearly distinguished.

[0026]

According to the other number providing apparatus of the present invention, the second subscriber number and its billing destination are registered for business use.
Therefore, even when a personally owned mobile phone is used for business, it is possible to clearly use personal use and business use clearly.

Further, the different number providing apparatus of the present invention is realized by a system for providing a service without having the portable telephone itself with this function. Therefore, there is an effect that distinct use between personal use and business use can be clearly performed without preparing a special mobile phone.
