Hereinafter, a detailed configuration of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the main part of the telephone number rental processing system according to the present invention.

The telephone number lease processing system 3 of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 includes a network connection processor 30 which performs processing for connecting the system to the Internet, and a web server 31 for accepting an applicant's rental service application. ) And an automatic answering telephone system 32, a data server 33 as a recording device that records subscriber information, a list of telephone numbers for lease and the applicant's rental service application, and a subscriber's rental service application. As a processor, the lease phone number assignment processor 34, the main processor 35, the call transfer setter 36, the message change setter 37, the lease phone number manager 38, the billing processor 39, and messaging It is configured to include a server 29.

The network connection processor 30 functions to connect the telephone number rental processing system 3 of the present invention to the wired and wireless Internet.

In addition to providing various types of web services to telephone number rental applicants and the like, the web server 31 is a reception processor which enables the telephone number rental application or service change application to be made through the Internet in connection with the present invention. It provides a user interface of a suitable type.

The web server 31 is configured to be suitable for communicating with each Internet terminal according to which Internet terminal the applicant connecting to the web server connects to. That is, the internet web server 31 is configured to include a wireless internet web server in consideration of a case of attempting wireless internet access using a mobile communication terminal, a PDA, or the like.

The applicant opens a web page for phone number rental application provided by the web server 31 and fills out and submits an application for inputting a phone number and period of use desired to receive a phone call.

In this case, the process of inputting the desired reception telephone number may be omitted. That is, when accessing the wireless Internet web server 31 using a wireless Internet terminal such as a mobile communication terminal (1 ') can be configured to automatically assign the desired telephone number to the telephone number of the terminal. This does not preclude the entry of other telephone numbers. Naturally, even when a telephone connection is made to an ARS through the PSTN, the outgoing telephone number can be checked, so that the desired telephone number can be automatically assigned and modified. For tracking the outgoing call number, the web server or ARS server includes a separate outgoing call number verification means (not shown). The outgoing telephone number confirmation means, not shown, may be included so as to merely receive a function of receiving an outgoing telephone number provided from the main telecommunication service provider system relaying the telephone connection.

 Thereafter, the applicant is assigned a lease phone number by the lease phone number assignment processor 35. However, the allocation of the rental telephone number may be configured to present a plurality of candidate telephone numbers to the applicant and to select one of them. In addition, the applicant may open a web page for changing service application contents provided by the web server 31, and prepare and submit a change application for changing a desired telephone number and use period.

The telephone number lease application web page provided by the web server 31 or the web page for changing service application contents may be configured in a standalone manner or may be configured in a form that is attached to a web page of another web site. At this time, the other web site is preferably a web site for various forms of C2C brokerage, such as barter brokerage website, marriage brokerage website, and is provided in the form of addition to the application form web page to apply for each advertisement It can increase the convenience for the applicant.                     

The automatic answering telephone system 32 is a reception processor which receives a telephone number lease application or a service change application through an applicant and a telephone network. The automatic answering telephone system 32 has an automatic answering telephone user interface that is interactively performed with the applicant and receives the applicant's input sequentially. to provide. Applicant dials the designated service telephone number and connects to the system 32, inputs the desired telephone number and period of use according to the service guidance voice, performs the telephone number lease application, or changes the service application contents already applied. Done.

In the data server 33 as a recording device, subscriber information subscribed through a web site, a list of telephone numbers secured for lease, the applicant's lease service application, and the like are recorded under the control of the main processor 34. Although the format and recording method of the data recorded in the data server 33 are not particularly limited, the applicant information, the desired telephone number, the service starting point, and the service expiration point for each rental telephone number in an example format as shown in FIG. , Service period, payment information, etc. may be recorded.

In FIG. 2, the "division" field in the data recording format is for internal use of the data, and is for identifying whether the lease is applied for any purpose through which channel, if not leased, and for lease, and "payment information". In the field, an identifier for distinguishing a payment method and an account number, a card number, a phone number, etc. used for payment processing are described. The "change code" field is used to verify the identity of the applicant when he / she wants to change the service application. The identity verification function can be replaced by inputting the desired telephone number and also connected to the wireless Internet web server through a mobile communication terminal. In this case, it is natural to go through the identity verification process, so it may be omitted. The "status" field is an identification area for checking whether the applicant's rental service application resulted in a successful call transfer service.

The lease phone number assignment processor 34 communicates with the web server 31 or the automatic answering telephone system 32 to input the applicant's application or the change application through the reception processors 31 and 32 which accept the phone number lease application. When the lease phone number assignment request is completed from these processors, the unlisted phone number of the lease phone number recorded in the data server 33 is read, and the result is transmitted to the reception processor 31 or 32. . Depending on the implementation, it may be configured to provide not only one but also multiple back end telephone numbers.

When the main processor 35 receives the applicant's application through the reception processors 31 and 32 and the rental telephone number is determined for each application, the main processor 35 adds the contents of the application to the rental telephone number determined as a service confirmation as a post-process. In this manner, data in the format shown in FIG. 2 is generated, and the data is recorded into the data server 33. In addition, when the applicant requests a service change through the reception processors 31 and 32, the setting contents of the current state are read from the data server 33 and provided to the reception processors 31 and 32, and the determined service change is made. The application contents are recorded in the data server 33.

After the recording process is finished, the main processor 35 executes the setting processing performed in the relationship with the communication service provider on the incoming call transfer setting device 36 and the message change setting device 37 in accordance with the lease service start. To ask. At this time, the setting processing request method for the setting processors 36 and 39 is to send the setting processing instruction directly from the main processor 35 to the setting processors 36 and 39 whenever there is a new setting or change of the setting contents by the applicant or the like. A method of transmitting and requesting to perform setting processing as recorded in the data server 33 can be used.

As another method, as in the example of the recording format shown in Fig. 2, a method of adding a " status " field to the unprocessed state (" 0 ") can be used. In this case, the incoming call transfer setter 36 and the message change setter 37 check the recording state of the status field among the record (item) areas recorded for each rental telephone number in the recording device, and confirm that the items have not been processed. Selects and communicates with the main telecommunication service provider switching system 5 to perform the corresponding setting process. If the setting process is successful, the status field is changed to the processing state ("1") and recorded. With such a configuration using a separate status field, each setter 36, 37 repeatedly observes the status field even if the incoming call transfer setting is not immediately made in the telephone exchange system manager 5 for some reason. And the setting processing for the unprocessed items can be performed.

Hereinafter, the setting processing will be described in more detail by taking the case where the setting processing is performed by observing the state field as an example. However, the following is only an example, and as described above, it can be configured in such a manner as to immediately perform the setting process according to the command of the main processor.

The incoming call divert setting device 36 continuously monitors the recording area for each item of the recording apparatus, and searches for an item (the item whose status field is "0") for which service start setting processing has not been performed. Then, the record item of the "service start time" field is checked for the retrieved item, and the communication service is switched to the telecommunication service provider switching system 5 at the start of the rental service with reference to a system clock (not shown) to correct the incoming call transfer setting record. The setting process is performed. The status field is changed to " 1 " for each item recording area recorded in the recording apparatus. In addition, the respective recording areas are observed for the items of the data server 33, and for the items indicating the service providing state (the status field is "1"), the records of the "service expiration time" field are checked and the system is checked. Check the clock to see if the lease expires. When the service expiration point arrives, a setting process is performed to communicate with the main telecommunication service provider switching system 5 to cancel the incoming call switching setting. Thereafter, the status field is changed to "0" and recorded.

At this time, the communication between the incoming call divert setter 36 and the telecommunications operator switching system 5 is performed by the incoming call divert setter 36 for direct data communication with the database manager in the telecommunication operator exchange system 5. It may be configured to. In a simpler process, the call forwarding setter 36 makes a call to the main telecommunications operator switching system using the leased phone number as the outgoing phone number and calls the call forwarding signal (DTMF signal designated for each carrier). Can be configured to send

The message change setter 37 functions to change and set the voice message presented so that callers who call the rental telephone number in the early stage by communicating with the main telecommunication service provider switching system 5 can check voice. As a specific example, the message change setter 37 continuously observes the status field of each item of the recording apparatus, and finds the item (the item whose status field is "0") for which the service start setting process has not been performed. Check the record in the "Start time of service" field for this item, and refer to the system clock (not shown) to communicate with the telecommunications operator switching system 5 at the start of the lease service to record the voice message record. The process is set so that the newly rented applicant can directly enter or correct the voice message that is configured to be suitable for the applicant.

Even in this case, the message change setter 37 can make a voice call to the telecommunication service provider switching system 5 to replace the prepared voice message recording contents. In addition, it may be configured to replace the data by direct data communication with a voice message manager (not shown) in the telecommunication service provider switching system (5).

In addition, the incoming call forwarding setter 36 observes the recording area of the items of the data server 33 to record the item in the "service expiration time" field for the item (the status field is "1") confirmed to be in the service state. And confirms with reference to the system clock and communicates with the telecommunications operator switching system 5 at the time of lease service expiration to perform the setting processing to release the incoming call switching setting.

On the other hand, the two change setters 36 and 37 may be integrated into one, or may be configured separately. In the case of operating separately, a status field may be added to the recording area of FIG. 2 to distinguish between the processing states of the two setting processors. In addition, the incoming call switching setter 36 may also be divided into an incoming call setting processor and an incoming call release processor.

On the other hand, when the message change setter 37 calls the lease phone number in the practice of the present invention, the message "This phone number is a phone number leased by Mr. XX" guidance message, "When is the lease period of this phone number? To "When is it from?" Or "This phone number is the phone number from which time is rented for sale of any item advertised anywhere." Only needed if designed. Therefore, it is not necessary if the user decides to try to transfer the call directly without providing the guide message. Using the example message can give an alarm to the person who has called the rental phone number and can prevent the user from making unnecessary calls when the service is stopped because the transaction has already ended or the user is changed.

The lease phone number manager 38 checks the record contents recorded in the recording device from time to time to secure an appropriate number of lease phone numbers based on the service application trend and the number of unleaseed phone numbers, or return the phone numbers. To perform the processing. At this time, the lease phone number manager 38 communicates with the main telecommunication service provider switching system 5 to perform necessary processing such as new subscription or unsubscribe.

When the telephone number lease processing system 3 of the present invention becomes a part of the main telecommunication service provider exchange system 5, the lease phone number manager 38 does not require additional cost settlement to secure or return the telephone number. It is especially effective when it is easy to purchase and return the telephone number under a special contract with the carrier.

The bill payment processor 37 processes the service fee in the case of operating the telephone number rental service according to the present invention for a fee. Therefore, it is not a necessary component if a particular website is operated to be provided free of charge as part of its service. In the present invention, the payment method for the service price is not specified, but if the service is applied for an automatic answering phone system, a post-payment can be made with an additional charge of a telephone number or a desired telephone number, and the web server. If you have signed up for service, you may be prepaid. In particular, when payment processing is preempted by credit card, cyber card, etc., a module for payment processing is added to the card company.

The messaging server 29 notifies the applicant's mobile communication telephone number when the telephone number rental processing is completed in accordance with the applicant's application. At this time, the applicant's mobile communication phone number can be confirmed by the applicant separately filling in, and the mobile communication phone number of the mobile communication terminal which can be checked since the applicant is connected for the rental application or the desired telephone number that the applicant entered when renting the phone number can be confirmed. It may be.

Although the configuration of the telephone number rental processing system 3 according to the present invention has been described as above, some of the components may be provided in a form in which other components and functions are integrated, and in particular, each component has the same function. It may be configured as a software program module for performing the processing by the central processing unit of the computer sequentially. It may also be provided in an integrated form with the main telecommunications operator switching system 5.

Hereinafter, a lease processing method in the telephone number lease processing system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

First, the applicant connects to the reception processors 31 and 32 provided in the form of the web server 31 or the answering machine system 32 of FIG. 1 described above, and selects the user mode (step S1). The user mode is classified into a registration application mode for a rental service and a change application mode for service application contents, and an initial applicant selects a registration application mode to apply for service registration (step S2).

When the registration application mode is selected, the applicant may enter a desired telephone number and a telephone number rental service period, and select a payment method to enter a payment related record to complete the service registration application (steps S3, S4, S5). . In accordance with this registration application, the lease phone number assignment processor 34 of the lease processing system 3 searches a list of lease phone numbers, selects one lease phone number that is not leased, and assigns a lease phone number to the applicant (step S6). ). At this time, a plurality of candidate phone numbers are presented in the assignment process and may be configured to be selected by the applicant.

On the other hand, the receiving telephone number input step of step S3 is not essential. In particular, when considering the case of a service provided through the wireless Internet, it is also possible to automatically set the mobile phone terminal number currently attempting to access the wireless Internet phone number to be the incoming telephone number. In addition, the step of inputting the incoming call number automatically sets to the number of the mobile communication terminal currently connected to the web server 31 by attempting to access the wireless Internet, or to the phone number of the terminal calling the ARS system, and then to change it. You can also use a method to ask and change settings.

In addition, the period of use is not specified, it can be used immediately upon application, and the use of the service can be continued until there is a termination request. In this case, the billing system may be configured to calculate the service usage time up to the present time when there is a service cancellation request, and bill the bill at once. In addition, it may be in the form of booking in advance specifying the period of use.

As such, when the rental telephone number is assigned according to the applicant's telephone number rental registration application and the telephone number to be received and the usage period are determined, the main processor 35 of the processing system 3 shows the confirmed service application contents in FIG. 2. The form is recorded in the recording apparatus in one form and the applicant is notified of the contents (step S7).

Then, the incoming call divert setting device 36 of the processing system 3 refers to the recorded contents recorded in the form of FIG. 2 in the data server 33 of the main processor, and searches for an unprocessed lease phone number. Confirm when the recorded call forwarding service for the telephone number is started. At the start of the service (step S8), communication with the telephone exchange system manager is performed so that the incoming call to the leased telephone number is switched to the desired reception telephone number described by the applicant (step S9).

After that, when the phone number rental service is started, the billing processing is performed for the applicant (S10). The billing processing method may be different depending on the case where a service registration application is made by accessing a web site and the service registration application is connected by an automatic answering phone system. Specifically, it is determined according to the payment policy of each operator. The charging process may be performed after the incoming call switching setting is completed in the sequence shown in FIG. 3, but may be processed before that. In addition, the charge processing step may not be necessary because it may be provided free of charge in consideration of profits from other parts.                     

Then, after the phone number rental service applied by the applicant has normally proceeded, the call forwarding switch setter 36 of the rental processing system 3 calculates the lease expiration time according to the recorded service application, and when the service expires, The service processing is completed by canceling the incoming call transfer setting for the leased telephone number (step S19).

On the other hand, the applicant can request to change the service for the phone number he rented. In this case, the applicant can correct the service application contents by accessing the service reception processors 31, 32 through the Internet network or the telephone network and selecting the change application mode (step S11).

At this time, the access authority can be checked by checking the user ID and the access password in the case of the web server connection, and in the case of the automatic answering phone system, by entering the leased telephone number (or the desired modification number) that is being leased ( ARS connection). In addition, the service application contents viewing and correction authority check whether or not to enter a separate password or modify the desired telephone number to enter the password process.

When the reading and modification authority check is finished and the change application mode is started (step S11), the applicant inputs a modification for the desired reception telephone number or service period and requests for a change (steps S12, S13, S14). After the change request is made, the processing handlers 31 and 32 of the system process the service change request input contents to be recorded in the recording apparatus, and notify the applicant of the received contents to request confirmation (step S15). Subsequently, if all goes well, the main processor 35, the incoming call switching setter 36 and the message change setter 37 perform post-processing according to the service content correction (step S16).                     

In this case, the change of the service usage period is made in the form of immediate suspension of service or extension of service period, and when the change application procedure is completed, additional payment processing is performed in accordance with the extension of the usage period (step S17). If the lease expiration point has elapsed for the corresponding application afterwards, by canceling the call transfer setting (S18, S19), all the processes are terminated.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a process of receiving a telephone number lease by accessing a telephone number rental processing system according to the present invention using an ARS telephone. The processing of Fig. 4 is essentially the same as the telephone number rental application processing shown in Fig. 3. As shown in this figure, the user dials a known service ARS phone number (step S21), enters a desired telephone number (step S22) and a service use period (step S23) and applies for a phone number rental service ( Step S24). Then, the service application contents are output and the applicant requests confirmation input (step S25). When the applicant confirms the service application contents, the assigned telephone number for lease is displayed (step S26). Through this process, the applicant's telephone number lease application process is terminated, and the incoming call is set to the desired telephone number of the rental telephone number (step S27), and the usage fee settlement process according to the service application is performed (step S28). . In this case, the reception desired telephone number input step and the service use period input step may be omitted. In other words, you can automatically input the desired telephone number as the outgoing telephone number from which you are currently calling, and you can also configure the service period to be determined in advance by the service provider. regard).

5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of receiving a phone number lease by accessing a phone number lease processing system according to the present invention using a wireless Internet terminal. The processing of FIG. 5 is also essentially the same as the telephone number rental application processing shown in FIG. As shown in this figure, a user who wants to receive a telephone number leasing service accesses a wireless internet web site for renting a telephone number (provided by the web server of FIG. 1) via a wireless Internet using a terminal for wireless internet access (step S31). ). Then, after inputting the desired reception telephone number (step S32) and the service use period (step S33), the telephone number rental service is applied (step S34). Then, the service application contents are output and the applicant requests confirmation input (step S35), and when the applicant confirms the service application contents, the assigned telephone number for lease is displayed (step S36). The applicant shall record the assigned lease phone number by hand or store the assigned phone number in the terminal and check it from time to time. In consideration of a case where a mobile communication terminal is difficult to store specially, the assigned telephone number may be configured to be notified by a text message through a short messaging service.

Through this process, the applicant's telephone number rental application process is ended, and the incoming call setting process for the desired telephone number of the rental telephone number is performed (step S37). If the service fee payment method is not determined in advance, a process of specifying the fee payment method and requesting payment may be separately added (step S38).

In FIG. 5, the reception desired telephone number input step and the service usage period input step may be omitted. That is, when the wireless Internet is connected through the mobile communication terminal, the outgoing telephone number of the mobile communication terminal can be configured to be automatically entered as the desired telephone number. Service periods can also be configured to be predetermined by the service provider (e.g., unless otherwise specified, a 72-hour lease).

The process of changing the setting of the desired reception number, the period of use or the voice announcement for the telephone number already rented through the ARS dial-up of FIG. 4 or the wireless Internet access of FIG. 5 is essentially the same as that shown in FIG. The process takes place. Detailed description will be omitted. At this time, of course, the access medium to be used for the change setting process of the applicant does not need to be the same as the medium used for the telephone number rental application. Regardless of the type of media used in the application, it may be configured to be changeable to any media.

On the other hand, although not shown in the drawings of Figures 3 to 5, it is preferable that the service applicant includes the step of inputting the entire voice announcement or at least a name (ID) for identifying itself with another applicant by voice or text.
