Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the accounting of communication rate more than a previously set sum if abnormality in an equipment occurs while a line is connected by outputting a line release signal if the numeric of an integrating signal in a rate integrating part exceeds the numeric of an allowance signal. CONSTITUTION:An operation payt 1 outputs the telephone number 1a of an opposite equipment and the allowance signal 1b corresponding to the limited amount of the rate for one call by the designation of switch operation. A communication control part 2 originates a selection signal corresponding to the telephone number 1a to the line 2a, outputs a control signal 2b showing that the line is being connected when connection is attained with the opposite equipment, transmits a picture signal from a picture transmission part 3 and releases a call at the time of receiving the line release signal 5a. The rate integrating part outputs the integrating signal 4a corresponding to the numeric which has been integrated based on a previously set unit communication rate by the telephone number 1a and the control signal 2b. A rate supervisory part 5 outputs the line release signal 5a if the integrating signal 4a exceeds the numeric of the designated allowance signal 1b.
