Description

Multi-function telephone with a direct call charging of recipient

The present invention relates to a multi-function telephone with a toll-free direct call. In particular, a toll-free telephone number is displayed on the display of the subscriber's telephone in a top-down manner. The present invention relates to a multifunction phone that searches for a phone number and makes a call.

In general, there is a caller-ID service that informs the recipient of the caller's telephone number prior to the telephone call. In order to realize this service, a telephone number transmitting exchange and a calling number display module (CID) capable of displaying a received telephone number are required. That is, before the two-way call, the receiver can know the caller's phone number and business name in advance, and thus can block the phone number that they do not want to call in advance.

In addition, when the user knows the name of the company or business to which he / she wants to call, but does not know the phone number, the user calls 114 and inquires about the phone number of the company or business. Afterwards, the agent residing at 114 enters the name of the company or business that the user inquired through an input device such as a keyboard on a computer, searches for information, and informs the user with a phone number that matches the business or business. have.

In this case, after the consultation with the 114 agent, the user directly connects to the guided phone number and talks to the company or business to call or after the end of the call with the 114 agent, the user calls back to the telephone number guided by the agent. You are talking to a business or business that you want to talk to.

However, in this case, since the user has to pay the call costs generated by dialing 114 and the call cost with the company or business to be called, the call cost increases.

As a telephone service developed to solve this disadvantage, there is a toll free telephone service. The 080 service, which is a toll-free telephone service, can reduce call costs from the user's point of view because the receiver pays for the call.

However, even in this case, as described above, if you know only the name of the company or business and do not know the phone number, you can call 114 and speak with an agent, and then you will know the toll-free phone number of the company or business you want to call. There was a problem in that the cost of the call made to 114 was paid by the user.

In addition, toll-free telephone numbers, such as 080, can be known only through various printed materials, and therefore, a lot of money is spent for promotion or advertisement, and there is also a problem that there is no real time or voice search apparatus.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a toll-free multifunction telephone that searches for a toll-free number stored in its own memory and a toll-free number stored in a specific external server in real time or by voice.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a toll-free multifunction telephone that retrieves a toll-free number stored in a specific external server using the calling number display module.

The above and other objects and novel features of the present invention will become apparent from the description of the present specification and the accompanying drawings.
