JPS6335049A - Telephone connecting device by membership - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain communication among members on the condition of listening to an announcement by covering a talking charge for free dial line subscribers by the membership fee of members and the announcement fee from sponsors. CONSTITUTION:When a signal supervisory equipment 52 identifies a signal detected by an incoming trunk 51 to be a personal identification number, the signal is transferred to a connection controller 56. The connection controller 56 sends information to a member information translator 55, where whether or not two dial numbers are registered is discriminated. A connection processor 58 connects a dialer 59 to a general subscriber line 2c and the dial number of a member telephone set is sent from the dialer 59. When an outgoing trunk supervisory equipment 54 identifies that a called party hooks off a receiver, the connection controller 56 applies the exchange connection of the member telephone set of the caller and that of the called party.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a telephone connection device for toll-free line subscribers who use a telephone toll-free service and provide services to members on a membership basis.

(Prior art) The conventional method of using telephone toll-free service is 1. For example, a toll-free line subscriber requests in advance multiple general line subscribers within the same local station to provide iH information, and
Through a toll-free line where loyal subscribers pay extra for calls.

It was used to receive information, etc. There is also a method of use in which a toll-free number subscriber, such as a store, sends shopping information, etc. to a regular line subscriber who calls through the toll-free number, with the shop owner paying the call fee.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In addition to the above-mentioned usage methods, 9 For example, if a membership system is established, subscribers to a toll-free telephone line may collect membership fees from members and commercial charges from Public Announcement King. If the advertiser is responsible for the above-mentioned commercials, it may be possible to have registered members make phone calls on the condition that they listen to the commercials. A telephone connection device that makes it possible.

It was not available to toll-free line subscribers.

(Means for solving the problem) The invention is to monitor the information from the caller and the exchange that exchanges and connects the toll-free subscriber line and the general subscriber line, identify the member, and send the callee to the called party. call.

A telephone connection device is provided to toll-free line subscribers, consisting of a controller that performs operations such as sending commercials, monitoring the status of called parties, and controlling the exchange. By this device.

As mentioned above, subscribers to the toll-free line receive membership fees from members and commercial charges from advertisers, pay the call charges, and allow registered members to make calls on the condition that they listen to commercials. Make it.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, in which 51 is an incoming trunk, 52 &! Signal monitoring equipment.

53 is an outgoing trunk, and 54 is an outgoing trunk monitoring device.

55 is a member information translation device, and 56 is a connection control device.

57 is a provided information output device, and 58 is a connection processing device.

59 is a dialer, 510 is a switch, and 511 is a controller.

FIG. 2 is a system diagram showing an example of the use of this device according to the present invention.
Reference numeral 1 is a member A telephone; 2a, 2b, and 2c are general subscriber lines; 3a, 3b, and 3c are local exchanges; 4 is a toll-free subscriber line; and 5 is a telephone connection device according to the present invention.

In FIG. 2, when member A dials the toll-free service number and the toll-free line subscriber's number from telephone 1, it is connected to toll-free subscriber line 4 through local exchanges 3a and 3c, and telephone connection device 5 call. The telephone connection device 5 connects to the general subscriber line by the procedure described later.
2c, dial the evening number of member B's telephone 6 to make a call, connect the toll-free subscriber line 4 and general subscriber line 2c, and allow member A and member B to talk.

As mentioned above, when the toll-free service number and the toll-free line subscriber's number are dialed from the member incoming charger 1 and connected to the telephone connection device 5, the incoming trunk 51 is connected to the line in FIG. The signal monitoring device 52 detects a signal indicating the connection, identifies it, and transmits the information to the connection control device 56. The connection control device 56 issues a command to the connection processing device 58, and the connection processing device 58 operates with the exchange 510 to connect the provided information output device 57 to the toll-free subscriber line 4. Then the connection control device 5
6 from the provided information output device 57 to the caller's member A telephone 1
To.

PIN number (e.g. “your dial number”)
An announcement requesting the recipient to dial the dial number J+r*J) is sent out. When the caller hears this and dials the PIN number mentioned above,
When the signal monitoring device 52 identifies that the signal detected on the incoming trunk 51 is a PIN code, it transfers this to the connection control device 56, and the connection control device 56 converts the member information translation device 5.
5, and the member information translation device 55 determines whether two dial numbers are registered. If it is registered, the connection control device 56 transfers the dial number of the other party to the dialer 59, then issues a command to the connection processing device 58 to operate the exchange 45!510, and the dialer 5
9 to the general subscriber line 2, and dialer 59 to member B.
'Send the dial number of the turtle phone 6.

When the member B telephone 6 of the called party is busy, when the outgoing trunk monitoring device 54 identifies that the signal detected on the outgoing trunk 53 is busy, the connection control device 56 outputs the provided information. 57 announces to the caller that the caller is busy. If the called party is not busy,
Provided information output device 5 until the called party picks up the receiver.
From 7 onwards, the advertiser's commercials will continue to be played to the caller. that the called party picked up the receiver.

The outgoing trunk monitoring device 54 uses the signal detected in the outgoing trunk.
7, the connection control device 56 issues a command to the connection processing device 58 to operate the exchange 510 and connect the member A of the calling party.
Telephone 1 and member B telephone 6 of the called party are connected through exchange.

In the manner described above, the telephones of registered members are connected through the toll-free line.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present device according to the nine aspects of the present invention, by taking advantage of the characteristics of called party charging of toll-free service,
Toll-free line subscribers can cover call charges with membership fees from members and commercial charges from advertisers, and can make calls on the condition that fellow registered members listen to the commer/yall, resulting in lower charges. There are some advantages.
