Description

How to handle billing in an exchange system

The present invention relates to a billing processing method of a time division electronic switching system, and more particularly, to a billing processing method of charging a call charge to a specific third party that is not a calling party or a called party.

In general, the billing processing method in the exchanger is a detailed billing method and the frequency climbing method. Detailed billing is a method of generating billing data for each call unit, and includes information such as calling number and called number, call start time and end time. The frequency climbing method determines the billing amount of each call directly, and calculates the frequency for each call and accumulates it in the frequency database for each subscriber. Regardless of the charging method, it is common for the exchange to charge the sender or the called party.

However, when a person belonging to a company or a group does not work inside a company or a group, but works outside, it is preferable that the billing process be a phone number of a company or a group rather than a phone number corresponding to a telephone installed at the workplace. There is. In this case, there is a problem that it is difficult to perform the third party charging processing by the conventional charging processing method.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a billing processing method capable of maximally guaranteeing service operation of a system in response to a subscriber's request to perform billing.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a billing processing method for registering a third party billing number in advance and charging the billing to a third party when the originating subscriber attempts a set call.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method for registering a third party number corresponding to a calling number using an MMC of a data input / output system and assigning a charge to the third party number when a caller makes a call. Is in.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention, in order to charge the third party who is not the calling party or the called party in the exchange system, the third party number is registered in advance in the table corresponding to the calling number, and the third party If the caller who registered the number in advance attempts to call and terminates the call, the third party number is charged.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

In the following, a preferred embodiment of the present invention for the charging processing method in the exchange system is described in detail.

1 is a diagram illustrating signal exchange between blocks applied to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a data format diagram confirming whether or not a third party billing registration according to the present invention is performed, and FIG. 3 is a third party billing performance according to the present invention. Is the flow of processing. 4 is a data format diagram illustrating a registration process of a third party billing function according to the present invention.

First, referring to FIGS. 1,2 and 3, when the calling party of the subscriber network 10 including another station (TKC department) or a local subscriber (ASC department) receives the called party number from another station or subscriber, the calling number translation processor in the information network 20 A station number translation is required for the number received by the number translation block (NTR) in the NTP (a in FIG. 1, a in FIG. 3). As for the number translation block (NTR), as shown in FIG. 2, the code type (D_Code_Type) of the station number information table (R_PFXINFTBL) 31 is TPB_ type (here TPB_SBC) as shown in FIG. If the billing station number is passed to the originating station translation results indicating that the three-party billing station number (see Fig. 1b and 3c). Then, the calling party makes a third-party billing station number translation request with the number translation block (NTR) in the number translation processor NTP with a number except the TPB station number (FIG. 1C and FIG. 3E). The number translation block (NTR) compares whether or not the originating subscriber's 3rd party billing service is registered and the subscriber's 3rd party billing type and the originating call type. The number translation block (NTR) checks whether the call type of the outgoing call is within the registered call range. (Fig. 3g). If the outgoing subscriber who has not registered the 3rd party billing service function attempts the 3rd party billing call, the announcement broadcast (notice of use after registering the 3rd party billing service function) is sent out and ends (Fig. 3h). If the above conditions (g in Fig. 3) are met, call processing is handled in the same way as general calls and billing is handled by a third party.

Registration of the third party charging function is described with reference to FIG. Figure 4 is a data diagram showing the registration process of the third-party billing function according to the present invention, the operator enters the call range of the calling number and the third party billing station number using a data input / output system command (MMC) called REG-TPB R_IDN_AC 40 is accessed using the first 3 digits of the dialed call number (eg 024050000) (here, D_IDN_AC is 24). The second access of R_IDN_TBL 41 is accessed with D_IDN_TBL_POINT in R_IDN_AC 40 (find and store non-existent R_IDN_TBL) and the number except the first three digits. R_IDN_TBL stores the number except the three digits using a linked list. The information of the BDN is stored in the R_BDN_POOL 42 and the access is stored in the D_N_IDN_POINT of the last number among the numbers except the first 3 digits of the R_IDN_TBL 41.

For example, an example of registering, outputting, and deleting a third party billing function using a data input / output system (Man Machine Control) will be described below. For example, the charge of a call attempted by the caller of 405-0000 in Seoul (area code 02) is to be charged to 480-0000. The third party billing station number 800 registration is performed when the operator inputs "CRTE-PFX: PFX = 800, PTY = TPB_SVC;" by using a data input / output system command (MMC) called REG-TPB. And registration of the third party billing number 4800000 to subscribers 405-0000 is performed when "REG-TPB: IDN = 24050000, BDN = 4800000, TYPE = ALL;" is entered. Information output of the third party billing number is performed upon inputting "DIS-TPB-INFO: IDN = 4050000;". Deletion of the third party billing number is performed upon inputting "ANC_TPB: IDN = 4050000;".

Therefore, the billing processing that charges a call fee to a specific third party who is not the calling party or the called party is possible.

As described above, the embodiment of the present invention has been described by way of example with reference to the drawings, but various changes and modifications can be made within the scope allowed by the matter.

According to the method of the present invention described above, since a call charge is charged to a specific third party other than the calling party or the called party, a third party such as a company or a group can charge the bill.

Claims (2)

In the charging method in the exchange system, In order to charge a specific third party who is not the calling party or the called party of the exchange system, the third party number is registered in a table corresponding to the calling number in advance, and the caller who registered the third party number in advance attempts to make a call. And when the call is terminated, the third party number is charged. In the third party billing method in the exchange system, Registering a third party number corresponding to the calling number in a table in advance; If the incoming call is a 3rd party billing station number with a specific code type, the station number is translated and the registered party is registered by comparing the originating subscriber's third party billing service registration and the subscriber's third party billing type and the originating call type. Checking whether the call type of the originating signal is within a registered call range; If the calling subscriber who does not have the third-party billing service function attempts to make the third-party billing call, the announcement is sent and terminated. If it is matched, the broadcast is processed in the same way as the general call and the billing is charged to the third party number. And having a step of doing so.
