The present invention relates to a speed dial number service method and system, and more particularly to a speed dial number service method that enables a user to make a call to a simple speed dial number corresponding to a general telephone number, and to allow the called party to confirm information during a call connection. It is about the system.

Recently, the purchase form of a form of ordering food or merchandise by calling a single number that is commonly used anywhere in the country from the home away from the way of visiting an offline store and selecting a product and paying a product price is rapidly spreading. This form of purchase is particularly prominent in home shopping, insurance, food delivery, and this business.

In addition, there is an increasing need for companies to provide a variety of services by telephone to customers even if they do not purchase goods directly over the telephone. For example, a credit card company may provide customer support services such as receiving a card loss report from a subscriber by phone, or a financial institution may provide a phone banking service for a public to handle banking services by telephone. to be.

As the proportion of communication media such as telephone increases in marketing or providing services to the general public, the recognition of telephone numbers is becoming important enough to be directly related to corporate sales or service satisfaction.

As a result, companies advertise their own phone numbers through various promotional media in order to make their phone numbers available to the public.

However, because the existing telephone number system is composed of at least 7 digits and 11 digits (for example, 02-3456-7890), it is not easy for the general public to remember. Recently, telephone numbers without area codes such as 1588-OOOO, 1566-OOOO, and 1544-OOOO are being serviced, but this also requires memorizing a total of 6 digits even if the number is not included in "15". Therefore, it is not easy for the general public to remember. Businesses also prefer phone numbers with numbers that are similar to their prefixes (eg, 1588-1588, 1588-1688, 1588-5588, etc.) because they are easy to remember, but these numbers are similar to the public. There is a fear of causing confusion in phone number distinction.

As above, the existing phone number is not easy to be remembered by the general public because it consists of a large number of numbers. In addition, even when the general public makes a phone call, the phone number is long and complicated, so there is a possibility that the phone may be connected to the wrong place by wrongly pressing the phone number. The imposition of these costs on customers is not desirable in terms of customer service, and it is uneconomical to pay for them.

1 is a block diagram of a shortcut number service system according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the speed dial number service system 30 is connected to a calling party switching center 20 and a called party switching center 40 for a wired / wireless telephone service through a communication network. It is connected to the calling party terminal 10 via a wired / wireless communication network, and the called party switching center 40 is connected to the called party telephone terminal 50 through a wired / wireless communication network. In the case of a telephone call in the same exchange station, the called party exchange station 40 may be the same as the calling party exchange station 20.

The shortcut number service system 30 includes a central processing unit 301, a shortcut number transmission and reception unit 302, a business card information sending unit 303, and a service subscriber database 311, each of which is a local bus (bus). Are connected to each other.

The calling party terminal 10 and the called party telephone terminal 50 are wired terminals, mobile terminals or PCs connected to the calling party switching center 20 for wired / wireless telephone service through a wired / wireless communication network. . The caller attempts to talk to the called party's terminal 50 by inputting a shortcut number (eg, "777") through an input device such as a button or a keypad of the calling party's terminal 10. Callers may need to enter additional speed dial identifiers (such as "*") before or after dialing the speed dial (eg "* 777", "* 777 *", "777 *").

Here, the speed dial number is a simple number provided in place of the long-term general telephone number being used. Existing general phone number has a system such as a station code + phone number (e.g. 1588 -5757), area code + station number + phone number (e.g. 02 -765 -4321). It only consists of a few digits (e.g. 777) without a number or station number. Existing phone numbers require long digits because both homes and companies have been given the same phone number, but short numbers need long digits because they are assigned to companies that need to be widely known to the public. Do not

The speed dial number identifier (eg, "*") is entered before or after the speed dial number (eg, "777") so that the calling party switching center 20 can send an existing general or emergency number (eg, "1366"). It is an input key that can be easily distinguished from). Although the "*" button (or "#") is preferable as the shortcut number identifier, the present invention is not limited thereto.

The landline terminal of the calling party and the called party is a general landline telephone capable of receiving landline telephone service, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In addition, the wired terminal of the calling party and the called party is preferably provided with a display capable of displaying text / video information.

The mobile terminal of the calling party and the called party is a terminal capable of receiving a wireless telephone service. A typical example is a cellular phone, a PCS phone, a PDA phone, etc., but the present invention is not limited thereto.

PCs of the calling party and the called party are terminals capable of receiving Internet phone services, and include desktop PCs and notebook PCs. The PC is equipped with an Internet phone program and is connected to an Internet line.

The calling terminal 10 is preferably provided with a notification device for notifying the start or busy of a call when receiving an incoming call response signal or a busy signal during a call connection. The notification device includes a lamp, a buzzer, a motor, and the like, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Herein, a lamp means a backlight of a display or a separate light emitter.

The wired communication network refers to a communication network capable of providing a wired telephone service, and refers to a current public switched telephone network (PSTN) and an internet network, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The internet network may be connected to a telephone network through an internet phone gateway.

The wireless communication network refers to a communication network capable of providing a wireless telephone service to a mobile terminal employing a code division multiple access (CDMA), a time division multiple access (TDMA), an IMT2000 scheme, or the like. The wireless communication network includes a base station (BTS, not shown) and a control station (BCS, not shown) between the originating / receiving side mobile terminal and the originating / receiving side switching center 20,40.

The calling party switching center 20 and the called party switching office 40 transmit a call to the calling party terminal 10 and the called party terminal 50 to enable a wired / wireless telephone service in connection with a wired / wireless communication network. Process. When the calling party terminal 10 is a PC, the processes of the calling party exchange station 20 and the called party exchange station 40 are performed at the same exchange station. Of course, in this case, the call restriction condition determination (step S110) described later is omitted.

In particular, the calling exchange 20 determines whether the telephone number received from the calling telephone terminal 10 through the wired / wireless communication network is a shortcut number. If the phone number is a speed dial number, the speed dial number is transmitted to the speed dial number service system 30, and when the speed dial number service system 30 transmits a general phone number corresponding to the speed dial number, the speed dial number is received. Determine call restrictions. In order to determine the call restriction condition of the calling party, the calling party exchange office 20 is associated with the calling party visitor location register, and is also associated with a subscriber main location register that can query which exchange station jurisdiction the terminating subscriber has.

The called party exchange 40 receives a call from the calling party exchange 20 and transfers the call to the called party's telephone terminal 50 through a wired / wireless communication network if it does not correspond to the call restriction condition. The destination exchange office 40 is also associated with a destination visitor location register that can determine call restriction conditions.

The called party exchange 40 receives the telephone number from the calling party exchange 20 and determines the called party call restriction condition and the called idle, and if the call is possible, the incoming party occupies the called party and the calling party exchange 20 Notify the incoming call status. In addition, if there is an incoming response from the called party's telephone terminal 50 while the call connection is being attempted, the incoming response signal is transmitted to the calling party's switching center 20.

Referring to the configuration of the shortcut number service system 30 in more detail, the central processing unit 301 uses the shortcut number received by the shortcut number transmission / reception unit 302 from the calling party switching center 20 to perform the The service subscriber database 311 is queried to read subscriber card information including a general telephone number and subscriber name corresponding to the shortcut number. Further, it requests the business card information sending unit 303 to send the subscriber card information to the calling party terminal 10 via the calling party switching center 20. Then, a series of processes are performed, such as a request for the speed dialing unit transmitting / receiving unit 302 to transmit the general telephone number to the calling party switching center 20.

The service subscriber database 311 contains information of a shortcut number service subscriber. Specifically, subscriber business card information including the subscriber's general telephone number and the subscriber's name is stored in the service subscriber database 311. In this case, the general phone number refers to a subscriber's phone number assigned to an existing phone number system. The subscriber's name refers to the subscriber's name, trade name or trade name / service name.

Optionally, the service subscriber database 311 stores the time (X seconds) before the incoming call attempt after the subscriber card information is sent. That is, the waiting time of the caller from the originator to the incoming call response is at least longer than X seconds. The X second is preferably a sufficient time for the caller to confirm the called party's subscriber card information before starting the call. The X second may be a time that the shortcut number service system 30 applies to all subscribers in a batch, or may be a time set by the service subscriber arbitrarily. Optionally, the service subscriber database 311 may further include information corresponding to the advertisement contents.

The shortcut number transmission / reception unit 302 receives a shortcut number from the calling party switching center 20 via the central processing unit 301 and receives a request from the central processing unit 301 to send a general telephone number to the calling party switching station. (20). The name is " abbreviated number transceiver ", but serves as a " abbreviated number receiver " and " general phone number transmitter ".

The business card information sending unit 303 receives the request of the central processing unit 301 and transmits the calling card information read from the service subscriber database 311 via the calling party switching center 20 during the call connection. To 10).

Hereinafter, a shortcut number service method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

2A and 2B are flowcharts illustrating a speed dial number service method according to an embodiment of the present invention. 3 is a diagram illustrating the operation of each network constituent in the speed dial number service method illustrated in FIGS. 2A and 2B over time.

Referring to Figures 2a, 2b and 3 specifically described in the speed dial service method according to an embodiment of the present invention, first, the caller by pressing the dial using the calling party terminal 10 through a wired / wireless communication network Deliver the speed dial number to the calling party exchange 20 (step S100). For example, if the speed dial number is "777" and the speed dial number identifier is "*" followed by the speed dial number, the caller presses the button "*" "7" "7" "7" or moves on the wired terminal. Press the "*" "7" "7" "7" button on the terminal and press the "SND" button.

The originating exchange 20 receiving the shortcut number first requests information from the originating visitor location register (not shown) to determine whether the caller is subject to a call restriction condition (illegal subscriber, non-paying subscriber, originator requesting subscriber, etc.). Judge.

If the caller corresponds to the call restriction condition (No in step S110), the calling party exchange station 20 notifies the calling party terminal 10 that the calling party cannot make the call due to the calling party calling restriction condition. End (step S120).

If it does not correspond to the caller call restriction condition (YES in step S110), the calling party exchange 20 determines whether the phone number received in step S100 is a shortcut number (step S130). For example, when a specific identifier (ex: "*") is required to be added before a shortcut number, the calling party exchange 20 determines that "777" is a shortcut number when the received number is "* 777". will be. Optionally, step S130 may be performed by the speed dial number service system 30. In this case, the calling party switching center 20 transmits all the phone numbers received from the calling phone terminal 10 to the speed dial number service system 30. Send to

If, as a result of determining in step S130 is not a shortcut number (No in step S130), the calling party exchange 20 determines the normal phone number and proceeds with the general process for forming a call (step S165).

On the contrary, if it is determined in step S130 that the speed dial number is correct (YES in step S130), the calling party switching center 20 dials the telephone number that is found to be a speed dial number (for example, "777"). And the shortcut number service system receives it (step S140).

Then, the speed dial number service system 30 queries the service subscriber database 311 using the speed dial number (eg, "777"), and determines whether the speed dial number is a number registered in the speed dial number service. Determine (step S150).

If it is determined in step S130 that the speed dial number is not registered (NO in step S150), the speed dial number service system 30 may use the speed dial number as it is through the speed dialing transceiver 302. And transmits to step 20 (step S160). The calling party exchange office 20 which has received this process proceeds to a general process for forming a call as in the case where it is determined in step S130 that it is not a speed dial number (step S165).

On the contrary, if it is determined in step S150 that the speed dial number is a registered number (YES in step S150), subscriber card information including the general telephone number and subscriber name corresponding to the speed dial number is obtained from the service subscriber database 311. Read out. In addition, it reads the 'time before the incoming call even after sending the subscriber card information' (hereinafter 'X seconds') (step S170). Here, X seconds is preferably set to a time sufficient to allow the caller to check the subscriber business card information during the call connection. In the case of companies, ARS (Auto Answering Service) answers the call after 1-2 rings, so if it is difficult to check the subscriber's business card information within 3-4 seconds, X seconds is not 0 seconds. It is desirable to set. Optionally, advertisement contents other than business card information may be read.

Then, it is determined whether the X seconds read out in step S170 is 0 seconds, and whether to try to receive a call simultaneously with sending subscriber card information (step S180).

If X seconds is not 0 seconds in step S160 (No in step S160), the speed dial number service system 30 transmits the subscriber card information to the calling party terminal 10 via the calling party exchange office 20 during the call connection. ) Is continuously sent (step S190). At this time, the speed dial number service system 30 starts to send out the subscriber card information in step S190 to receive the busy signal from the called party's telephone terminal 50 until step S270, and if the incoming response signal is received, step S310. Until the sending of subscriber card information continues. When sending the subscriber card information in the speed dial number service system 30 as described above, the caller can check the card information of the called party through the display of the calling party terminal 10 instead of listening to the ringback tone during the call connection. If the caller finds out that the caller sends a call to another caller through confirmation of the other party's business card information and hangs up the call within X seconds, the call is disconnected before the call is attempted. In this case, therefore, unnecessary telephone charges are not generated due to the initiation of the call, and the incoming call occupancy of the called party's telephone terminal 50 does not occur. Even if you hang up after X seconds, if the called party is before answering the call, you will not be charged for the call.

After X seconds have elapsed since the subscriber card information is transmitted in step S190, the speed dial number service system 30 transmits the general telephone number to the calling party switching center 20 (step S200).

On the other hand, when X seconds is 0 seconds in step S180 (YES in step S180), the speed dial number service system 30 sends out the subscriber's business card information through the calling party exchange 20 and at the same time the general telephone number Transmit to originating exchange 20 (step S210). When sending the subscriber card information in the speed dial number service system 30 as described above, the caller can also check the card information of the called party through the display of the calling party terminal 10 instead of listening to the ringback tone during the call connection. In step S210, unlike in step S200, the speed dial number service system 30 transmits the subscriber card information and simultaneously sends a general phone number to the calling party switching center 20 so that the called party can try to make a call. While checking the business card information, if the caller confirms that the caller has sent to another caller and hangs up before the caller receives the call, there is no charge.

Optionally, when sending subscriber card information in step S190 or step S210, the speed dial number service system 30 may include and send advertisement contents other than business card information in the calling party terminal 10.

When the calling party exchange 20 receives the general telephone number from the speed dial number service system 30 in step S200 or S210, it requests information from the subscriber's main location register (not shown) to determine which jurisdiction the recipient is in. After the determination, the called party exchanges the general telephone number to the called party exchange 40 and attempts to receive the call (step S220).

Then, the called party switching center 40 requests information from the called party visitor location register (not shown) to determine the call restriction condition of the called party (terminal power cut off, illegal subscriber, unpaid subscriber, subscriber not requested subscriber) (step S230). ).

If the called party corresponds to the call restriction condition (NO in step S230), the called party switching center 40 calls the called party terminal 10 by the called party calling restriction condition via the calling party switching station 20. After notifying that this is impossible, the call ends (step S240).

On the contrary, when the called party does not correspond to the call restriction condition (YES in step S230), the called party switching center 40 determines whether the called party terminal 50 is idle (idle) (step S250).

If the called party's terminal 50 is busy instead of the idle state (idle) (No at step S250), the called party's switching center 40 notifies the calling party's switching station 20 of the busy state. The calling party exchange 20 transmits it to the speed dial service system 30 (step S260). Then, the speed dial number service system 30 stops sending subscriber card information to the calling party's telephone terminal 10 (step S270). At the same time, the calling party switching center 20 transmits a busy tone to the calling party terminal 10. At this time, the calling party terminal 10 notifies the caller that the called party is busy by using a notification device to be described later.

On the contrary, if the called party's telephone terminal 50 is in the call idle state (YES in step S250), the called party's telephone station 40 occupies the incoming call of the called party's telephone terminal 50, and the calling party's switching center Notify the incoming state to the 20 (step S280). Then, the ring is ringed at the called party's terminal 50, which continues until the called party answers (step S290). While the ring signal is ringing on the called party's telephone terminal 50 in this way, the card information transmitted from the speed dial number service system 30 is continuously output to the calling party's telephone terminal 10.

On the other hand, when attempting an incoming call to the mobile terminal, after determining the state of the incoming call stop in step S250, the process goes further. That is, when the called party's telephone terminal 50 is a mobile terminal, the called party's switching center 40 further requests the location information of the called party's telephone terminal 50 from the called party's visitor location register (not shown). As a result, if the called party does not meet the call restriction condition, the caller issues a paging command through a control station (not shown) belonging to the location area code. If the called mobile terminal receives a paging response in the paging command, the called telephone terminal 50 occupies the incoming call and notifies the calling exchange switching station 20 of the called state.

When the called party confirms that the ringing is ringed at the called party's telephone terminal 50 and the called person answers the call, the incoming response signal is sent to the speed dial service system 30 via the called party's switching center 40 or the calling party's switching center 20. It is delivered (step S300).

Then, the speed dial number service system 30 stops transmitting subscriber card information to the calling party's telephone terminal 10 (step S310). At the same time, the calling party exchange 20 transmits an incoming response signal to the calling party terminal 10 (step S320).

At this time, the calling party terminal 10, the moment the receiving response signal is received, the notification device of the calling party terminal 10 is activated, the state is available to make a call (step S330). The caller may know that the call is started through the operation of the notification device. This is similar to announcing a busy state in step S260. The notification device may be a notification device disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2003-0031714. That is, the moment the calling party terminal 10 receives the incoming response signal, the calling party terminal 10 notifies the caller of the call in various ways. For example, the lamp flickers or discolors, a buzzer sounds and a buzzer sounds, or a motor drives and vibrates. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. As such, when the notification device provided in the calling party's telephone terminal 10 is driven at the start of the call, the caller can know the incoming response without having to wait for the earpiece during the call connection.

The call is made and the busy state is maintained until the hook-on or end key is pressed in the calling terminal 10 or the called terminal 50 (step S340).

According to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, by using the speed dialing method and system, the user can make a call using a speed dial that is much simpler than the existing telephone number, and the information of the called party is called before the call starts. You can check it.

In the above-described embodiment, in step S180, the speed dial number service system 30 determines whether to try to receive a call at the same time as sending the subscriber card information (X seconds is 0 seconds), but the speed dial number service system 30 reads the subscriber card information. After passing through the subscriber card information immediately without going through the above steps, it is possible to attempt to receive the call by transferring the general telephone number to the calling party exchange 20.

In the above-described embodiment, the called party corresponding to the shortcut number was a single subscriber, but a plurality of operators having the same type of business (eg, pizza delivery business, this business) may be integrated into one shortcut number to serve. The speed dial number service system 30 receives the area code (ex: area code 02, station number: 765) of the calling telephone terminal 10 along with the speed dial number through the calling switch office 20. The speed dial number service system 30 reads a plurality of general telephone numbers corresponding to the speed dial number as a result of searching the service subscriber database 311 using the speed dial number. The service subscriber database 311 further includes information of the subscriber's area code (ex: 02 (Seoul), 500 (Seocho-gu)), and the speed dial number service system 30 is the calling party from among the plurality of general telephone numbers. Using the area code of the telephone terminal 10, the general telephone number of the nearest position is selected and transmitted to the calling party switching center 20 to form a call path. In this case, when the subscriber card information is sent in step S190 or S210, it is preferable to further display the subscriber's area information (EX: @@@ pizza "seo focal").

As described above, although the present invention has been described by way of limited embodiments and drawings, the present invention is not limited thereto and is intended by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Of course, various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of equivalents of the claims to be described.
