The present invention relates to billing information notification using an integrated information communication network (ISDN), and in particular, the telephone number of the other party, the telephone fee, the amount of time and attempt to use the telephone, and the telephone fee used for a certain period in a communication terminal of the integrated information communication network. The present invention relates to a billing information notification display method using a comprehensive information communication network for displaying and making a user view.

In general, a billing device in a public telephone network, which is an example of an integrated telecommunication network, detects a billing signal sent from an exchange machine through a telephone line during a call, and sends an alarm signal according to the billing signal to a control circuit whenever this billing signal is detected. It was sent to the user to decide whether or not to insert coins.

As such, the billing information provided by the exchange had to go directly to the telephone company because the user's communication terminal could not know the details of the terminal usage. Also, the billing information provided by the exchange to the terminal was cleared once, so the user could not see it again. .

In addition, there is no charge information notification service provided by the network in the general public switched telephone network (PSTN) phone, and the usage history is not displayed in the terminal of the conventional general information communication network. To know there were various troublesome problems.

Accordingly, in order to solve the above problem, the present invention can store and display the usage history of the terminal at any time after the termination of the call by using the information of the billing information notice serviced by the calling terminal after the termination of the call in the integrated information communication network. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a billing information notice display method using a comprehensive information and communication network that enables the user to view the sum of royalties for a certain period of time, and to clear information of unnecessary usage history so that memory can be efficiently used.

The communication device configuration for billing information notification in the present invention for achieving the above object is the calling / receiving side terminal (2, 3) consisting of a public telephone, a facsimile, a data communication device, as shown in FIG. And a comprehensive information communication network 1 connected to the source / receive side terminals 2 and 3, respectively.

The operation according to the above configuration is that when each calling terminal user selects the corresponding data mode and sends the signal to the integrated information communication network (e.g., the exchange) 1, the integrated information communication network 1 The terminal usage history is sent according to the current state of the integrated information communication network (1).

In the case of a telephone, the terminal usage history sent above is composed of a telephone trial time, a counterpart's telephone number, a usage fee, and a usage time.

In the above operation, the user sees the terminal usage history. Specifically, when the user of the calling party / receiving terminal 2,3 sends a connection message and a data about the usage history to be reported to the integrated information communication network 1 The integrated information communication network (1) displays some or all data desired by the user in the 'Release' message or the 'Release_Comlete' message according to the connection signal with the terminal and displays the information on each terminal. Will be.

Accordingly, the billing information notification (ie, usage history) display method according to the present invention provides a method for displaying billing information notification from a comprehensive information communication network when one terminal wants to see the contents of the billing information notification after the call is terminated between the calling terminal and the receiving terminal. A billing information notification contents storing process for receiving and storing contents, a billing information notification contents displaying process for displaying the contents of a process common notification stored in the billing information notification contents storing process according to a user's predetermined key selection, and the billing information notification contents Display of the terminal fee used to display the terminal fee used for a certain period of the contents of the billing information notification to clear only the details desired by the user in the contents of the billing information stored in the storage process and the process of storing the billing information notification contents The process takes place.

In the above-described charging information notification storing process, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), the user of the calling terminal dials the address of the receiving terminal (S1), and the address of the receiving terminal is stored in the memory. Storing (S2) and storing the time at that time; transmitting (53) a setup message at the calling terminal; determining whether a connection message has been received (S4); and connecting the message. Is not received, clearing the address of the receiving terminal and clearing the time information (S5), and if the connection message is received after communicating with the receiving terminal (S6) to terminate the communication with the receiving terminal. Step S7, receiving the contents of the billing information notification from the integrated information communication network (S8), and storing the contents of the received billing information notification in the memory (S9).

The steps are described in more detail with reference to FIG. 1 as follows.

When the calling terminal 2 dials to the receiving terminal 3, the enable block mode stores the address of the receiving terminal 3 when the '#' key is input or the timer expires. Save the time.

The calling terminal 2 then transmits a 'setup' message containing the address, subaddress and channel information of the receiving terminal 3.

At this time, until the call is established before receiving the 'connected' message, the number and origination between the originating terminal 2 and the integrated information communication network 1 or the receiving terminal 3 and the integrated information communication network 1 depending on the protocol implementation. Are omitted here.

In the sense of the call setup, i.e., the off-hook of the receiving terminal 3, a 'connection' message is transmitted from the receiving terminal 3 to the integrated information communication network 1, and is transmitted from the integrated information communication network 1. A 'connect' message is sent to the terminal 2.

However, when the receiving terminal 3 is busy or the channel information requested by the calling terminal 2 does not receive the 'connected' message in the integrated information communication network 1, the 'release' message or 'complete release' If a message is received, it is determined that the call setup has failed and the address, subaddress and time of the receiving terminal 3 are cleared and terminated.

On the other hand, when a 'connection' message is received, when communicating with the receiving terminal (3) and releasing the call after the termination of the call, the information on the usage time and charge, that is, the billing information notice, is included in the 'release' or 'complete release' message. It is stored in the calling terminal (2) that attempted the call first, and ends.

The charging information notification content display process is shown in Figure 2 (b), the terminal user history display mode selection step by the user (S10), and the selection (S10) to operate the timer after the operation history Displaying the usage history display step (S11) and determining whether the user's schedule key selection for viewing the next usage history before the timer expires, and performing the usage history display step (S11) when the user's schedule key selection is made. Selecting a release key to determine whether or not to select a release key for releasing the terminal usage history display mode when a predetermined key is selected by the predetermined key selection determination step (S12) and the predetermined key selection determination (S12). If the release key is selected by the user in the presence determination step (S13) and the release key selection determination (S13), and if the timer has expired (S14), the usage history is expired. Comprises a release step in which Shimo Degas off (S15).

That is, as a method of displaying the time, phone number, charge, and usage time from the most recent data, the contents of the most recently used billing information notice are displayed by selecting the usage history display mode, and a timer is started.

If you select a key (scroll key (eg '*')) before the timer expires, the previous usage will be displayed and the timer will be restarted.

In addition, if a release key (eg, '#') is selected to be released in the mode, the timer is released as the timer expires.

As shown in FIG. 2 (c), the clearing process of the billing information notification is performed by the user history clear mode selection step (S16) of clearing the user history by the user, and after the user history clear mode selection (S16). A clear mode search step (S17) for searching whether the user has selected a partial clear key, and a clear period for inputting the beginning and end of the period to be cleared to the user when the partial clear key is selected for the clear mode search (S17) Clearing the usage history of the input period (S18), the usage history of the partial period in the memory (S19), and clearing all the usage history in the memory (S20) when all clear keys are selected by the clear mode search (S17). Is done.

That is, in order to clear the usage history of the line used by the user, a certain key (for example, '#') corresponding to the partial clear after the history clear mode is selected by the user or a certain key corresponding to the clear all (E.g. '*') is selected and if partial clearing, the user enters the beginning and end of the period to be cleared.

START: 941001

END: 941031

Enter 6 digits each.

Only the usage history of a part of the period in the memory is cleared by the input, and when the clear all is selected, the history of all periods in the memory is cleared.

On the other hand, the terminal fee display process is shown in FIG. 2 (d), the user fee selection mode selection step (S21), the user selects the fee display mode in order to display the entire fee for use, and the user period A usage fee input step (S22) for inputting the data, a royalty fee calculation step (S23) for calculating the fee for use in the memory according to the input period, and a total fee display step (S24) for displaying the sum of the fee for use in the fee for use calculation (S23). )

That is, if the user selects the fee display mode by the user to display the fee for using a terminal (eg, a phone) used for a certain period of time and inputs a desired period of 6 digits as described above, only the fee details stored in the memory are calculated. Allows the user to view the sum of term royalties.

As described above, the present invention provides a better service to the customer because the user can easily select and calculate the trouble of going to the telephone station when the user wants to know the line use history by displaying the line use history at any time. There is an advantage to this.
