Abstract

PURPOSE:To designate an incoming call receiver, and a collect call, by providing a magnetic card, a card type public telephone set, an incoming call receiver collating data base, an exchange controlling central processor unit, and the memory means of a bit of charge information. CONSTITUTION:The card type public telephone set 11 reads required codes regarding the designation of the incoming call receiver, and the collect call from the magnetic card 13, and transmits them to an exchange 15. The exchange 15, when receiving the codes, and selection numbers regarding the designation of the incoming call receiver, and the collect call transmitted from the telephone set 11, collates those received information with data recorded in the incoming call receiver collating data base 16, by the control of the central processor unit 14, and judges whether it is possible to apply a service. When it is possible to apply the service, the exchange controlling central processor unit 14 sets a speech path between the telephone set 11, and the telephone set 12 of a designated incoming call receiver, according to an approriate procedure, by controlling the exchange 15. Also, the bit of charging information regarding the call, is recorded in a charging information recording magnet table 17 as the collect call.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to telephone call services using public telephones, and in particular,
This invention relates to a telephone call service system in which the callee pays for a specific callee using a magnetic card using public telecommunications services.

Conventional technology Conventionally, in public telephone services using magnetic cards, whether or not a call can be made with a magnetic card for telephone calls is determined by the number of calls consumed in the past using the card and the number of calls specified by the card. Judgment is made based on whether the frequency range is exceeded.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the conventional system described above, a caller B who wishes to make a call using a public telephone service with a specific caller A due to a special relationship does not provide the caller A with a magnetic card for telephone calls. If you try to pay, (1), caller B is called by caller A.
It is not possible to impose restrictions on the callee when making a call using a magnetic card for telephone calls.

(2) If caller A has used up the limit on the magnetic card for telephone calls that caller B provided to caller A, caller B will issue the magnetic card for telephone calls to caller A again. It has the disadvantage of being indispensable.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a new telephone call service system that makes it possible to solve the above-mentioned problems inherent in the conventional technology.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the telephone call service system according to the present invention includes a magnetic code in which a code related to callee designation and callee payment is recorded, and the code is read from the magnetic card. A card-type public telephone that sends information to the reading exchange, a database for checking called parties that records information such as the registrant number, registrant name, selection number, contract period, etc. of the service method, and the information received from the public telephone. a central processor unit for controlling an exchange that identifies whether or not the service method is applied to the code by comparing the information recorded in the database; and a storage means for billing information; It is possible to specify the recipient and pay the fee to the recipient.

Embodiment Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, telephone A designated by reference number 11 is a card-type public telephone, and in addition to its normal functions, it has functions for reading and transmitting codes related to callee designation and payment on delivery, which are necessary in the service system according to the present invention. have

Telephone B indicated by 12 is the telephone of the called party.

13 indicates a magnetic card for telephone calls, and the magnetic card 13
A code related to recipient designation and payment by the recipient is recorded.

14 is a central processor Uninote (C
PU), and the processor unit 14 determines whether this service is applicable based on the selection number and code sent from the telephone 11 and the records in the called party verification database. It has the ability to perform appropriate control after making a judgment.

! The exchange indicated by 5 is a telephone line exchange for a central office.

1B indicates a database (DB) for recipient verification, and the database 16 records information such as the registrant number, registrant name, selection number, contract period, etc. of this service.
The exchange control processor unit 14 refers to it as necessary.

Charging information recording magnetic tape (MT) shown in I7
You can record call charges from this service as paid by the called party.

Next, to explain the operation, the card type public telephone 11
reads from the magnetic card 13 a code related to recipient designation and payment on delivery, which are necessary in the system according to the present invention, and transmits it to the exchange 15. The exchange 15 is the telephone 11
Receives the code and selection number regarding recipient designation and payment on delivery transmitted from the controller, controls the central processor unit 14, and compares the received information with the data recorded in the recipient verification database 16.
Determine whether the service using this method is applicable.

As a result of the above judgment, if applicable, the exchange control central processor unit 14 controls the exchange 15 and establishes a communication path between the telephone 11 and the telephone 12 of the designated called party according to an appropriate procedure. . Further, billing information regarding this call is recorded on the billing information recording magnetic tape 17 as paid by the called party.

If not applicable, phone l! Notify users of this fact and refuse application of this service.

As described in detail, according to the present invention, for example, if a company issues a magnetic card for telephone calls using this method to an employee for communication from outside the company, the company can It can be expected to reduce the cost and effort required for administrative processing related to contact fees.

In addition, you only need one card until the card becomes physically unusable or a certain contract period expires.
Lower cost.

Furthermore, the person holding this magnetic card can always talk to a specific person, and there is no need to worry about having coins on hand or having the remaining power as with conventional cards.

As in the past, this system has the effect of realizing low-cost and smooth telephone calls between specific callers using public telephones and telephone networks.
