New Description: [New Technology Field] This creation is about a kind of VoIP device, especially for an instant-on-use VoIP device. [Prior Art] After the Internet has flourished, many methods or agreements for voice communication have been produced. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) φ is a communication standard developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in 1999, especially for the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communication technology. Formulated. In addition to SIP, there are several international organizations that define different VoIP standards. For example, H.323 is a standard proposed by the International Telecommunications Standards Department (ITU-T) in 1996. The regional network is based on video conferencing applications, but it has been widely used in Internet telephony; the Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) is also a communication proposed by the Internet Engineering Working Group. The standard is different from the peer-to-peer communication method of Η·323. The MGCP belongs to the master-slave communication standard. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a conventional network telephone system using the H.323 protocol. The VoIP system 200 connects a plurality of IP networks together by a router 201. Each IP network terminal 202 can talk to each other by dialing a caii server (not shown) on the network. In addition, the gateway 203 can communicate with the non-H.323-compliant network 204, such as an overall service digital network (ISDN). The gateway administrator 205 then controls the gateway 203. H:\HU\LGC\H34344\110998M 10998.doc M309817 However, the VoIP system 200 or the current general VoIP phone uses a closed network guest layer, so it is necessary to have both an IP network and an IP telephone device to receive the call. Thus, the closed network telephone system 200 cannot set up an outdoor dialing station for use by the public or passers-by. In short, current Internet telephony does not provide a convenient service like a public telephone. In addition, the current charging method for general network telephones is a traditional operation mode of prepaid or monthly billing membership, which seems to be difficult for those who use less Internet telephony.

[New Content] The purpose of this creation is to provide an instant-on-use VoIP device that can be used for public or unspecified individuals to enjoy existing VoIP services at a single charge. This means that you don't need to prepay a certain amount, apply for membership, or bring your own IP network and IP phone, you can make a call as much as a public phone. Another purpose of this creation is to provide a VoIP device that is inexpensive for the public to use. Compared with the telecommunications industry, the communication network for mobile phones, long-distance calls or international calls is relatively inexpensive. Competitiveness. To achieve the above purpose, the device </ RTI> includes a web-based billing server and an account generator for revealing an instant payment. The charging server accepts the information of the user's pay-per-use or single-use payment, and calculates the callable time of the payment corresponding to the destination, or H:\HU\LGC\H34344\110998\110998 .doc M309817 corresponds to the amount of the payment to be made to the destination, and at the same time generates a person identification code, which is composed of a random number and is temporarily generated instead of being pre-stored in the billing server. Or in other databases. The account generator can display the personal identification number and the call information to the user, for example, the printed document or displayed on the screen or in voice. The user enters the personal identification number and the billing server confirms whether the personal identification number is correct. When the charging server confirms that the personal identification code is correct, the user is allowed to use the network voice communication through the network telephone communication device. [Embodiment] FIG. 2 is a structural diagram of a network telephone device for real-time use of the present invention. The network telephone device 20 can be adapted to an indoor storage room for an operator, but the application is not limited thereto, and can also be applied to a self-service consumption mode, which mainly includes a charging server 21 and an account generator 22. The user can indicate to the operator the destination or approximate talk time to be dialed, and the operator can use the button on the account generator 22 or other input device (for example: keyboard, mouse, voice input or touch screen) Entering the country code of the destination and the payment will be calculated according to the rate of the destination: pass; or enter the country code of the destination and the approximate call time, and then the billing server 21 will charge according to the destination. Rate to calculate the exact amount payable. The billing server 21 accepts information on the user's pay-per-use or single-use payment, and generates a personal identification number. The PIN is a set of rand〇m numbers and is generated temporarily, rather than being pre-stored in the billing server or other database. The PIN and the call information (date, amount or pass H:\HU\LGC\H34344\110998M 10998.doc M309817 " tongue time, etc.) will be displayed to the user by the account generator 22, for example: Print The document is displayed on the screen or in a voice, and the personal identification number printed on the document can be printed by text or bar code. After the user knows the personal identification number, he or she can select an unused telephone 24 and enter the personal identification number, or read the personal identification number of the barcode printing method by a barcode scanner (not shown). The billing server 2丨 confirms whether the personal identification number is correct. When the billing server 2 confirms that the input personal identification code is positive, the user is allowed to connect through a gateway 231. Using the voice over internet communication, or the gateway 23 1 uses a dialing prompt music or voice to inform the user that the telephone number can be dialed. Further, the gateway 23 can be a gateway of the SIP communication standard, and other network voice communication protocols can be applied and integrated in the account generator 22. In addition, the user can also use the VoIP phone or the VoIP switch to use the network language communication, and can collectively call the VoIP device such as the gateway device, the VoIP phone or the VoIP switch. For VoIP communication equipment. At the beginning of the call and the start of the call, the billing server 2 will start accumulating the time of the call. If the allowed talk time is about to expire, the off-duty billing server 21 will command the phone 24 to prompt the music or voice by the gateway 231. For example, the remaining 3G seconds of talk time is generated, both are connected, or left. 3 seconds of talk time produces ridicule, ridicule, _, triplet. When the allowed talk time expires, the billing server 21 will cut the call signal of the telephone % by the gateway 231. In order to expand the number of dialing telephones 24 of the network telephone device 20, one can be switched to 25 to select the gateway 231 or another channel 232, which is charged by the H:\HU\LGC\H34344\110998Μ10998 .doc M309817 The feeding machine 21 controls the timing of selection, which can improve operational efficiency and achieve greater economic scale. In addition, the VoIP device 20 can further include a router 26 through which the router 26 can be externally connected to the Internet. The billing server 21, the router 26 or the switch 25 or the gateway 231 can be integrated into a server.

The VoIP device 3 can notify the user of the personal identification number and the dialing information by the display screen 3, or the printed document 32 can be removed by the user and removed. The VoIP device 30 can also use the Internet 80 for voice communication via an Internet service provided by an Internet Service Provider (Isp). The user can first enter the destination country code to be dialed as prompted, and then place the appropriate call charge from the coin stealer 35 or the cash machine. In addition, payment devices such as credit card readers, financial card readers (reading wafer cards or magnetic cards) or stored-value card readers (reading radio frequency identification (RFID) cards) can also be integrated into VoIP. In the device 3G, the card can be used for single call. At this time, the weekly billing function of the telephone device 3 calculates the exact talk time according to the rate of the destination country, and the personal identification code is generated by the display screen 3 or the document 32. After the user knows the personal identification number, he or she can select an unused telephone 24 or a network telephone device 3 to input the personal identification number. when . If the personal identification number entered is correct, then the H:\HU\LGC\H34344\110998\1 l〇998doc M309817 user can use the telephone 24 or microphone 34 to connect to the network voice communication.
