LT5367B - Method and device for establishing communication between mobile telephone subscribers - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention relates to telecommunications and mobile telephone communications. A method for establishing communication between subscribers is based upon the fact that a mobile communications subscriber who may access the internet through his mobile phone sends a connection request to the connection device using the connection ordering programme and the internet protocol by indicating which subscriber number should be connected with which number and how many such subscribers should be automatically interconnected. The device for establishing mobile communication between subscribers, used to implement this method, consists of a subscriber database, an authorization programme, a connection programme and a telephone switshboard.

Description

The invention relates to telecommunications and fixed telephone communications.

Currently, the subscriber uses a fixed telephone network to order a connection. The traditional connection is as follows:

Connection order Connection

Subscriber

Telephone Company

Another subscriber

There is also the so-called Callback, a method whereby a subscriber orders a connection through a fixed telephone network by calling the connection device, which calls the subscriber. This bude also uses a fixed telephone network to order interconnection.

Also used is the method described in US 6,771,760 JV, where a call is initiated when a customer enters a company website and places a call on it, the company employee is automatically connected to the customer who ordered the call. The drawbacks of the above described methods are that the subscriber who orders the interconnection requires the use of a fixed telephone network.

This limits the subscriber's choice of network to subscribe to.

It also restricts the freedom of choice between which subscribers and how many to connect.

The invention proposes to solve the problem as follows:

An Internet subscriber sends an order to connect to the connection device from the Internet via a personal computer (hereinafter "PC") connection program via the Internet Protocol ("ΓΡ").

In this order, the subscriber orders what subscriber number to which subscriber number to connect to (not necessarily his own number) and how many such subscribers are automatically connected to each other.

The connection device automatically connects the subscriber numbers specified in the order via a fixed telephone network.

The advantages of this method are that:

1) the subscriber has a choice of network to send the order for connection;

2) the subscriber has a choice of subscribers and how many of them to connect to each other;

3) it is more convenient for the subscriber because the connection is ordered by a special interconnection program for the PC which has a notepad, it is necessary to mark which subscriber number to which to connect and send the order;

4) it is more convenient for the subscriber because in the absence of a connection, such as a busy or unresponsive subscriber, the connection device does not perform the connection with the subscriber who ordered the connection.

The essence of the invention is as follows:

In order for a subscriber to order his connection to another subscriber or the connection of third parties without using a fixed telephone network, but using the Internet network.

The subscriber (1) having Internet access installs a special interconnection program on his PC (2). In order to order the interconnection, the subscriber (1) sends the order from his PC (2) via the Internet (3) using the IP protocol to the interconnector (4). The connection device (4) checks whether the subscriber (1) has this right and automatically performs the connection according to the numbers indicated in the order. That is, connects the subscriber (1) to the subscriber (5) or connects the subscribers (6) and (7) to each other, or connects the subscribers (1), (5), (6), (7) to the conference.

The coupling device consists of:

Subscriber database (8)

Connection program (10)

Telephone switch (11)

The Subscriber Database (8) stores subscriber data for which this connection subscription service is provided.

The Authorization Program (9) determines whether the Subscriber Order Program is allowed or denied to the Subscriber.

The connection program (10) sends the numbers specified in the order to a telephone switchboard.

The telephone switch (11) connects the specified numbers to a fixed telephone network.

The operation of this connection device is illustrated in the following diagram:
