2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method for preventing unauthorized access in a callback system in a data communication system using a public line, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 62-53061, a password of a user is previously determined. And the telephone number for calling back with the password are stored in the memory of the center side, and when the remote station accesses the center side, the password is entered. A method of redialing a telephone number corresponding to the password is adopted.

[0003] Further, a password for recalling a designated telephone number is registered on the center side, and a password when accessing the center side from the remote station side and a telephone number of the remote station side for callback are registered. When a password is entered, the center confirms the password and dials the specified telephone number again.

[0004]

The above-described conventional method for preventing unauthorized access in the callback processing has the following problems. The first is that if the user's password and its designated telephone number have been registered in the center in advance, if the telephone number associated with the password is incorrectly registered, dial the wrong telephone number. It means that you will be connected to an unspecified phone number.

[0005] Also, in the case where the password for calling back to the designated telephone number and the designated telephone number are input on the remote station side, as in the case of the first case, the designated telephone number is used. If the number is entered incorrectly, the telephone is connected to an unspecified telephone number, and in any case, there is a problem that an illegal access to a terminal connected incorrectly is permitted.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and to input and verify a second password when calling back from a callback device to a remote station, thereby erroneously specifying an unspecified telephone. It is an object of the present invention to provide an unauthorized access prevention callback system which can fundamentally prevent unauthorized access caused by being connected to a terminal having a number, and significantly improve security.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following means. That is, the unauthorized access prevention callback method of the present invention is a method of controlling the terminal device on the remote station side to be able to connect to the terminal device on the center side via a public line. The terminal device on the remote station side capable of transmitting the first and second passwords set in advance for access, and the first password input at the time of accessing the callback device from the terminal device on the remote station side, are once received by the public. First password checking means for checking the first password stored in advance for comparison with the first password after disconnecting the line, and transmitting the first password from the terminal device on the remote station side to the first password; When the matching password is entered, the terminal at the remote station is called back and the public line is reconnected. And it has a configuration in which a call-back device and a second password collating means that performs collation with said second password stored the second password in advance in order to compare the delivery from the end device.

[0008] Further, the unauthorized access prevention callback method of the present invention is characterized in that the terminal device at the remote station side receives the first access request from the terminal device.
When transmitting a telephone number for callback using the first password together with the password, the telephone number is stored even when the public line is disconnected.

Further, the unauthorized access prevention callback method of the present invention is characterized in that the remote station side terminal device transmits the first
The telephone number to be transmitted together with the password is set in the center in advance.

Further, in the unauthorized access prevention callback method of the present invention, when the second password is not supplied to the callback device even after a predetermined time has elapsed, the telephone number of the called back is incorrectly specified. It has a configuration in which it is determined that the telephone number is a telephone number and the connection with the terminal device on the remote station side is disconnected.
