Description

Dialing method for paying a charge telephone with a credit card}

The present invention relates to a card payment method dialing method, in particular to store the server call and the card number of the telecommunications company in order to make a call in the card payment method in advance, by automatically connecting to the card payment method when entering the other party's phone number The present invention relates to a card-payment dialing method in which a card-payment telephone can be used with only the same dialing as a general phone dialing.

In general, the payment method for a telephone call is a method of paying a postpaid fee by paying a usage fee by calculating a usage amount, such as a typical home and personal portable cellular phone and a PCS, and directly using a prepaid card such as a public telephone. There are ways to settle call charges based on the amount of money stored on a card by inserting a card, and a method using a credit card. When using a public phone card and a credit card, the card has to be carried at all times. And it has a disadvantage that it is applied only to a public telephone equipped with a means capable of processing.

As such, in order to compensate for the drawback of having to carry a card at all times, a method of registering a card with a predetermined amount accumulated in a prepaid card method in a telecommunication company and paying a call charge by the registered card has been developed and put into practical use. Such a card payment method is applied to not only a public telephone but also a personal cellular phone or a PCS phone, but is in service. However, the dialing is very cumbersome, and the time required to complete the dialing after the server connection has been inconvenient in use.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a conventional card payment dialing method.

First, when a card payment method is registered according to a contract with a communication company, and a telephone call using the card payment method is attempted, the server of the communication company is called first (S1). After entering the number '00721', press the send button to call the card payment method connection server. When connected to the server by the server call (S1) (S2), a guide message for inputting the card number is output from the server, and listens to the guide message and enters his card number (S3). In other words, after calling the service provider server, it takes a little time to connect to the server.

After the card number input (S3), if the input completion button (for example, '#') to inform the completion of the input is entered (S4), the card number input from the server determines whether the normal card number to approve the card payment method connection Then, the user inputs the other party's telephone number to which he / she wants to make a call (S5) to complete the dialing, and terminates the call after the dialing.

Thus, the conventional card payment method dialing method, the server call (S1), the card number input (S3), the input complete button input (S4) and the other party's phone number input (S5) in sequence, but waits for a predetermined time when connecting to the server (S2) is necessary. Therefore, the user often needs to input a plurality of buttons in turn each time for the card payment method dialing, and it takes 20-30 seconds or more to make a desired call connection, such as a waiting time for the next step input.

Therefore, it is inconvenient for a cellular phone or PCS user to use a call attempt that takes 20-30 seconds, and its use is very low.

Therefore, the present invention stores a server call number, card number, etc. in advance, and the card payment method dialing method that can be used very conveniently by automatically making the card payment method telephone connection is made when the user enters only the other party's phone number. It is to provide.

The existing speed dialing method by storing a phone number is a method in which a desired counterpart phone number is stored in a specific address in advance, and the corresponding address is called by a speed dial button to automatically dial the card. The card payment method can be applied. There was no. The reason for this is that when a server of a telecommunication company is called, a predetermined time is required after the server is connected to the server to accept the card number.

However, if the memory server call number card number and the input completion button are stored in advance like the speed dial method and the speed dialing method is used, the dialing signals of the server call number card number and the input completion button are automatically sent continuously. After the server of the telecommunications company is called and before the card number is ready to accept, the card number is sent so that the server does not recognize it.

The current service time of the service provider in the card payment method server of the service provider is about 6 seconds, the wait time of about 6 seconds after the server is called, the button signal input after that is recognized as the card number, speed dialing method Was not available as a card payment dialing method.

Therefore, in order to achieve the object of the present invention, a predetermined waiting time is given after the server call of the telecommunication company, and the card number is stored in advance so as to send out the card number after the time for which the server can recognize the card number has elapsed. In addition, when a specific button (for example, '0') is pressed to input the other party's phone number as in general dialing, the server call number is automatically dialed by the specific button input and the card number is waited after waiting for a predetermined waiting time. To send. During the connection for the card payment method, the user inputs the other party's phone number including the specific button. After completing the card payment method connection, the user inputs the main control program of the telephone to dial the entered other party's phone number. It is characterized by programming.

1 is a flow chart showing a conventional card payment method dialing method.

2 is a flow chart showing a card payment method dialing method according to the present invention.

The present invention is a first step of storing the service provider server call number, the time delay button for the delay time that the server can service, the card number and the input complete button in the storage area of the card payment dialing mode in advance. and; Recognizing a specific button (e.g. '0') commonly input by the user to dial the other party's phone number, dials the pre-stored server call number, and after the time delay according to the time delay button, the card number and the input completion button. A second process of sending out; During the second process, a third process of dialing the counterpart phone number including the specific button input by the user after the second process is performed for card payment method dialing.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a card payment method dialing method according to the present invention.

First, as a first step (S10), a communication company server call number (e.g. Korea Telecom '00721'), and a time delay button for the delay time that the server can service (button specified by the built-in function of the mobile phone) (E.g. 'T'), the card number (the card number registered and registered by the carrier and the card payment method) and the input completion button (e.g. '#') are stored in the storage area of the card payment dialing mode in advance. . Here, the delay button uses a predetermined time delay button as a built-in function of the telephone. If there is no time delay button, set a specific function button and program it to delay the predetermined time by that function button.

This sets the card payment method dialing mode in the dialing control program of the phone, selects the storage mode in the card payment method dialing mode, and inputs the server call number, the delay button, the card number, and the input completed button in order. Put it.

Then, the corresponding mode is selected to use the card payment method dialing.

In this state, when the user inputs a button of the telephone for card payment dialing, the first input button is programmed as a card payment dialing start button. In other words, since a cellular phone or a PCS phone is dialed by entering an area code, it is very convenient to set the first button of the area code as the specific button. On the other hand, in a home phone or a mobile phone in which an area code is registered in advance, a specific button is separately selected, and a specific button is pressed, such as a speed dial method, and the other party's phone number is entered. In this case, the specific button is simply a card payment method. Program to recognize only dialing start and exclude from dialing number later on dialing.

When the user enters the other party's phone number while the card is stored in advance for the card payment method dialing and the user selects the mode, the specific button (eg, '0') is recognized and the previously stored server call number Dialing and performing a second process (S21-S26) to send out the card number and the input complete button after a time delay according to the time delay button.

It is determined whether the first button input by the user for the dialing is the specific button '0' registered in advance (S21), and when the specific button is input, it is determined whether the card payment method dialing mode is entered (S22). If it is not a specific button or the current card payment method dialing mode is released, the corresponding function or general dialing process is performed (S23).

When the specific button '0' is input and the current card payment mode is set, the server call number stored in the storage area of the card payment dialing mode in the first step is transmitted (S24). Waits for the delay time set by the delay button (S25), and then sends out a signal of the card number and the input completion button '#' after the waiting time has elapsed (S26).

During the second process, a third process (S27) of dialing a counterpart phone number including the specific button input by the user after the second process to perform card payment method dialing is performed. That is, the server automatically sends the server call (S24), the standby (S25), the card number and the input completion button by inputting the specific number (S25), and transmits the other party's telephone number input by the user during the process. Dial by card payment dialing authorization.

After all, according to the present invention, when the user enters only the other party's phone number together with the area code as in general dialing, the server call, standby, card number and input completion button are automatically sent by the first input '0', Subsequently, the card number dialing is completed by transmitting the area code and the other party's phone number input by the user. Therefore, the entire dialing time becomes the same as general dialing, so that the user can use it very quickly and conveniently without any trouble.

On the other hand, in the embodiment of the present invention, but using the delay button to wait for server call, for example, if a delay after a predetermined time automatically after the server call by the program, if you want to send the card number afterwards do not store the delay button after inputting You don't have to.

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, since the card payment method dialing is automatically performed only by inputting the other party's phone number including the area code without entering a separate server call, standby, card number, etc., It is very easy and quick to dial. Therefore, it is possible to further expand the user of the prepaid card, and the user can obtain the benefits given by the prepaid card.
