Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for billing charges that are incurred for a temporary connection of two subscribers via a communication network, in particular a telephone network or the Internet, the network connecting a large number of subscribers connected to it, with one subscriber connection being assigned an individual network identifier and a first subscriber (sender) dials a second subscriber (addressee) to establish a connection via its network identifier.
  • the invention also relates to a system for carrying out the method.
  • Network identifier e.g. 0800 in Germany or other service numbers
  • R callback
  • connection As far as connection is concerned, personal hand-switching is still necessary, the switching center being called by the sender and the person working in the center dialing the desired number. After the addressee has agreed to pay the costs, the central unit connects the caller and the addressee. This type of individual hand placement is personnel-intensive and therefore cost-intensive.
  • the object of the invention is now to provide a method for charging fees which can be implemented in a simple and reliable manner with the available means and which represents a value-added service of the network operator which is attractive to the user at low cost. task the invention is also to provide a system for implementing the method.
  • the main idea of the invention is to automate the service of the R call using a computer located in the network. This generally requires the steps that the computer first automatically identifies not only the sender but also the addressee based on his network identifier. This means that two participants are available for billing. This computer, which carries out at least part of the "billing" (organization of billing), determines the costs incurred for the duration of the connection and distributes it to the participants according to criteria to be determined.
  • the computer In general, it is conceivable that the computer generally watches over every connection and normally allocates the costs to the sender. Situations are conceivable in which a spontaneous assumption of costs by the addressee would be appropriate. Such a situation would be, for example, if the sender uses a prepaid card, the credit of which is running low, or if the sender is owed by the network operator and the operator does not grant him a loan beyond a small amount, but the addressee nonetheless is interested in the conversation. In such cases, the computer would address the addressee via a speech-capable communication program implemented on it and inform him that the charges for the continuation of the call were at his expense. The addressee can terminate the connection if he no longer wishes to maintain it at his own expense. This service of situation-related billing can be carried out automatically via the computer, for example a network server.
  • the organization of conversations is more flexible and customer-friendly than the connection no longer has to fail due to the sender's inability to pay.
  • this service can be implemented with the available resources. All that is required is the digital network organization that is common today, in which computers were previously available on the network. Participants are registered using their network identifiers known to the computer at any time, to which addresses are assigned for sending the invoices.
  • the invention generally enables automated and flexible billing using a voice dialog system and a platform.
  • the cost allocation possible with the method according to the invention can lead to an increase in communication time and thus to an increased turnover for the network operator.
  • Another advantage is that tariff changes, for example from an expensive private tariff to a discounted wholesale customer tariff, are possible within a connection, which makes the invention interesting for the customer.
  • the system according to the invention can be quickly introduced to the market because of the resources available.
  • the computer registers the charges and ascribes them to the addressee.
  • the computer completely replaces the operator.

Abstract

Procédé de facturation de frais entraînés par une liaison temporaire entre deux abonnés via un réseau de communication, en particulier un réseau téléphonique, ledit réseau reliant une pluralité d'abonnés connectés. Une identification individuelle de réseau est associée à chaque raccordement d'abonné. Un premier abonné (appelant) appelle un deuxième abonné (appelé) à l'aide de l'identification de réseau de ce dernier en vue d'établir une communication. Selon ledit procédé, après la composition de l'identification de réseau de l'appelé, cette identification est enregistrée automatiquement (« en ligne ») à l'aide d'un ordinateur connecté au réseau, les frais correspondant à la durée de la communication sont calculés et au moins une partie des frais est imputée à l'appelé identifié à l'aide de son identification de réseau.
