Abstract

PURPOSE:To change the standard of call calculation in response to the contents of the call service and to justify the calling charge, by detecting the type of the communication service and changing the time interval during which the value of a call meter increases by a call in response to the result of detection of the communication service type. CONSTITUTION:The signals given from a transmitter are sorted at a signal discriminating and sorting part 1. When the sorted signal is equal to a dial signal, a connection route is selected and connected via a connection route selecting part 2 and a connection processing part 2'. Then a charging clock value deciding part 3 decides the charging clock value in accordance with the distance and the using time band. This charging clock value is set at a clock value setting part 4. At the same time, the call signal sent from the transmitter is fed to a service discriminating signal extracting part 6. Then the service discriminating signal is separated from the call data, and the clock value is extracted at a clock value detecting part 7 for each service type. The clock value which is fed to a call meter 5 via a clock value compensating part 8 and then set at the part 4 is compensated by the clock compensating value given from the part 8. Then +1 is added with every count of the clock value to obtain the fair calling charge.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a toll charge calculation method that allows call charges to be calculated according to the type of service received by a user.

[Conventional technology and problems]

The current exchange system only changes the time interval at which the frequency meter increases depending on the communication distance and time of day, and does not pay any attention to the content of the communication. In the future, various communication services that use telephone lines, such as the Captain Work System, are considered, and it is conceivable that different standards will be used to calculate the number of counterfeits depending on the content of the communication service. The Captain System connects the Captain Center and the user via a public telephone line, sends information to the user in response to the user's request, and displays this on a television screen or the like.

[Purpose of the invention]

Original F! Point A is based on the above considerations, and aims to provide a call charge calculation method in which the frequency calculation standard is varied depending on the content of the communication service that the user receives.

[Structure of the invention]

And for that reason, the call charge calculation method company of the present invention.

In a call charge calculation method that changes the frequency calculation standard according to the type of communication service, a type detecting means for detecting the type of communication service, a frequency meter, and a frequency meter according to the detection result of the above-mentioned type detecting means. a time interval changing means for changing the time interval at which the number of degrees increases; an activation membrane that starts the frequency meter corresponding to the caller when a call is started; and a number of degrees corresponding to the caller when the call is suspended; It is characterized by having a stop means for stopping the meter.

[Embodiments of the invention]

The present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention, where l is a signal identification distribution section, 2 is a connection route selection section, a two-way connection processing section, 3 is a billing clock value determination section, and 4 is a clock. Value setting section, 5 is a frequency meter, 6 is a service identification signal extraction section, 7 is a clock value detection section for each service type, 8 is a balance lock value correction section, 9 is a clock value table for each service type, 10 is an initial clock value The respective parts are shown. Note that the illustrated mechanism is provided within a telephone exchange.

Signals sent from the source are sorted by the signal identification section l. If this signal is a dial signal, connection selection section 2 and connection processing section 2' perform connection route selection 2 and connection processing. Then, the charging clock determining section 3 determines the charging clock value according to the distance and the time of use, and the clock value setting section 4 sets the determined charging clock value. Once the caller and the other party are connected, the call begins.

When a call signal is sent from the caller, the call signal is sorted by the signal identification section 1 and input to the service identification signal extraction section 6. Service identification signal extraction unit 6
separates the service discrimination signal and the call data, and sends the service discrimination signal to the clock value detection unit 7 for each service type. The clock value detection unit 7 for each service type extracts the corresponding clock value from the clock value table 9 for each service type, and sends it to the clock value correction unit 8. The frequency meter 5 corresponding to the 0 source extracts the clock value The clock value from the set unit 4 is corrected by the clock value from the clock value correction unit 8, and each time the corrected clock value is counted,
When a disconnection signal is sent from one source that increases the frequency by 1, the contents of the frequency meter corresponding to the one source are stored in a predetermined storage area, and the frequency of the frequency total 5 returns to the initial value.

FIG. 2 schematically shows the equipment on the user side that utilizes the information center (for example, Captain Center). In the second prisoner, 11 is a telephone, 12 is a terminal, 13 is a changeover switch, and 14 is an exchange. When a user wants to read information from the information center, he/she calls the information center, and when the call is received, the changeover switch 131' terminal 12
Flip it to the side. Terminal 12 transmits a signal at a particular frequency before receiving service. The service identification signal extraction unit 6 in FIG. 1 extracts this specific frequency signal.

When the signal of this specific frequency is extracted, the unit on the frequency meter side is corrected to the unit that receives the service from the information center.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the frequency calculation standard is changed depending on the content of the communication service, so that call charges can be made fairer.
