Description

Agent phone number system

If two people wishing to talk in a computer chat room each enter their own phone number, there is a service that the server connects the call to the two phone numbers without the other party's phone number being exposed to each other.

The prior art is only possible to call only temporarily in the chat room, there is a disadvantage that you can not normally talk without having to expose the phone number of each other and the same party. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a system that can make a call without continuing to expose each other's telephone numbers as long as each other wants.

1 is a schematic diagram showing the concept of the present invention.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of a service according to the present invention.

3 is an example of setting a telephone number to the wireless Internet according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention in more detail by the accompanying drawings as follows.

1 is a configuration diagram schematically showing the configuration of the present invention.

The present invention provides a switch to find the actual number corresponding to the caller's proxy number and transfer to the corresponding exchange, a service DB in which the actual number corresponding to the proxy number is defined, and means for processing the contents of the service DB. It consists of ARS server.

The exchanger 20, 50 is programmed to recognize the proxy number when the caller makes a call to the proxy number using the terminal, to withdraw the actual phone number of the receiver terminal from the service DB30 and transfer the call to the corresponding phone station. It is characteristic.

The service DB30 is a subscriber's actual phone number and a unique pickup number to be sent and received when registering each other, each representative number and actual number according to a plurality of opponents, the representative number of the subscriber assigned to each partner (the partner It consists of a proxy number dialed when dialing this subscriber) and call classification information of each party.

The ARS server 40 is provided with a means for modifying the DB by receiving the user's proxy number application and termination and the like and a user interface therefor.

In order to achieve the object of the present invention, first, when a user accesses the ARS40 server and registers a password and a unique pick-up number inputted when the partner registers himself, the ARS server 40 The password and the pickup number are configured in the DB30 as subscriber information for the user.

Table 1 shows an example of subscriber information constituting the service DB.

The subscriber A who has the pickup number presents the pickup number to the other subscriber who wants to talk. The subscriber connects to the ARS server 40, selects the Add Conversation partner menu, and enters the pickup number. If the ARS server 40 assigns the proxy number, and the ARS server 40 registers the proxy number (since it is not a real number for recognizing this box) in the called party number field in the subscriber information of the party, then the agent When calling the number, the mobile communication switching center recognizes the proxy number and withdraws the actual phone number of the recipient (A) corresponding to the proxy number from the DB30's call partner list and transfers the call to the party. The next time you make a phone call, your actual number is not displayed as the calling party number. The number will be displayed on the Caller ID.

In addition, when the ARS server 40 assigns the proxy number to the party, the ARS server 40 is issued so that it is not duplicated with the other proxy numbers of the party so that one party is assigned to one representative number used by the subscriber.

In addition, by receiving a surrogate number that can be communicated with through through the pick-up number of A, A and A do not know each other's telephone number, so that A and A can communicate with each other through each other's surrogate numbers.

The pickup number is uniquely assigned to the subscriber and can be changed by the user at any time. This allows the other party to find and register the subscriber. If the unique pickup number itself is fixed, the pickup number is used as the pickup number. It's hard to guarantee privacy because it's recognizable, so you can always change it. The pickup number is used only once when registering a partner, rather than serving as a continuous link with other parties, so changing the pickup number does not affect communication with existing parties.

In addition, because the proxy number is converted to a different destination number for each caller, the phone number resource used as the proxy number is effective even with a very small number of resources regardless of the actual number of subscribers. For example, the proxy number 011-234-4567 Even if you use 1 million people together, each call is transferred to the other opponent without duplication. In other words, even if only 100 phone numbers for the proxy number is secured, the number of counterparts that subscribers can call on their proxy number is 100 people per person, so that the maximum number of phone number resources is achieved.

Referring to the subscription, registration, change procedure of the service according to the present invention in detail as follows.

When the user A accesses the ARS server through the terminal A (100), the ARS server determines whether or not the subscriber is the CID of the party (101). If it is determined (102), if the subscription is selected to guide the password input and receive it (103), the next step to guide the pick-up number to register the pick-up number (104) and then the CID, password, pickup number Write to DB (105).

If the input is a mobile phone number change in step 102, the previous phone number, pickup number, and password of the registered party for the authentication of the party is input (106), the authentication of the input information (107), and the phone recorded in the DB Change the number to the phone number passed in upon connection (108).

If in step 101, A is a subscriber, the user receives the password (109), performs authentication (110), registers the call partner or picks up the number / changes the call partner, and then determines the input value (111). When he chooses to register his or her call partner, he receives his / her pick-up number from his partner (112), retrieves his / her telephone number from his subscriber information (113), assigns his / her proxy number (114), and his subscriber Record the actual telephone number and proxy number of the information in the information (115).

If in step 111 A selects Pickup Number Change / Call Contact Management, the user enters the Pickup Number Change or Call Contact Management and determines the input value (116). The pickup number is input (117), the pickup information in the subscriber's subscriber information is updated to the new pickup number (118), and the change guidance is carried out (119).

When step A 116 selects the call partner registration in step 116, the agent receives a proxy number of the call management target from the box 120, and accepts the call for the agent number, ARS, or deletes the agent number. This guides and receives a selection from the box (121), thereby updating the DB (122).

In addition to the above, in providing the user with an interface for operations required for the present invention, such as subscription, relative registration, number change, etc., it is obvious that the appropriate interface can be provided accordingly through various networks.

If more detailed description of the call operation according to the present invention.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a call connection operation according to the present invention.

When user A makes a call to terminal B of terminal B through terminal A 10, exchange 20 of mobile communication switching center (MTSO) receives an outgoing call (200), and then receives a number from a system DB (e.g., a home location register). Determining whether or not is a proxy number (201), and if the proxy number, if there is subscriber information in DB30 with reference to the CID of the party (202), if there is no subscriber information ends the call (204), if there is subscriber information It is determined whether the proxy number is registered (203). If not, the call is terminated (204). If it is registered in step 203, the call management content defined by the user is judged (205), and if not defined (call permission). Read the actual number of the party and the party's originating agent, replace the actual party's real number with the calling agent's number (206), switch to the corresponding exchange (207), and if it is defined as ARS in step 205, the ARS server 40 Connect (206), prompt and message to ARS The object of the present invention can be achieved by performing a response such as recording.

In addition, the voice message may be stored in a subscriber voice mailbox in a mobile communication service company, or may be stored in a separate server to be listened to through the ARS server 40.

As described above, the present invention has the effect that two people who want to make a call can continue calling each other without exposing each other's phone number as long as they want, and the call is no longer possible if either side is not desired. It has the effect of pre-blocking, and can be given as a surrogate number to a person close to infinity as one phone number resource.
