Description

A Realization Method of Called Payment Service

technical field

The present invention relates to the field of providing services to network terminals in a telecommunication network, and more specifically relates to a method for providing a call-to-pay service to ordinary telecommunication users.

Background technique

Called centralized payment service (FPH: Free phone) is a telephone service reflected in billing performance, and is one of the 25 services suggested by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) in the Intelligent Network Capability Group (CS-1). Its main feature is that the called party pays the telephone fee for the call to the service user, while the calling party does not pay the telephone fee. For example: when a business, an enterprise department, etc. apply to open the service as a service user, the service user will pay for the telephone fee for calling the service user. Because these calls are free to the calling party, they are often called toll-free calls. The business characteristics and business process description of FPH can be found in the "Intelligent Network Standard" compiled by the Telecom Transmission Research Institute of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of China or the "Introduction to Intelligent Network" published by the People's Posts and Telecommunications Press.

At present, China Telecom has opened the national and local called toll service on the fixed intelligent network. This service provides users with a user service number, such as 800830123456, where 800 is the service access code, and 830 represents the data location of the service user. 123456 is the user number. The user dials the user service number 800830123456 to connect to the connection number preset by the business user. The preset number can be routed according to time or location of the calling number. For example, when you dial the 800 service number of a group company in Beijing, the connected number is the service number A of the group's users in Beijing. When you dial the same number in Shenzhen, you will be connected to the group's service number B in Shenzhen. Similarly, in different time periods, dialing the same service number, the connected number can be different.

This service is also available on the mobile network, but the promotion is not good enough. The main reason is that the characteristic of this business is that it is positioned on the group user group of merchants, and the commercial user group has not yet adapted to this method well, or they are worried that they will pay too much for this.

Contents of the invention

In view of this, the present invention provides a realization method of the called toll service based on ordinary individual users, which makes the existing called toll service have new characteristics, expands the user group, and thus may greatly develop the called toll service.

The invention relates to a method for realizing called-to-pay service on an intelligent network, the intelligent network at least includes a service control point and a service switching point, and the service switching point is a switch with a signaling switching function or a hardware with a signaling switching function in an ordinary switch module; it is characterized in that the method comprises the following steps:

When the called toll service logic in the service control point of the intelligent network executes the translation of the service number to the destination code, translate the service number of the called toll service user to the user's called toll service access code and directly dial the user number.

According to the technical scheme of the present invention, the user who applies for the called to pay service should provide a number as the user number, and this number can be any of the following situations:

a) The user who applies for this service can be a user who owns a fixed phone, and the user can use the number of the fixed phone as the user number, and the call fee is paid together with the fixed phone fee.

b) The user who applies for this service can be a user with an ordinary mobile phone, and the user can use the mobile phone number as the user number, and the call fee is also paid together with the mobile phone fee.

c) The user who applies for this service can be a user with a mobile prepaid mobile phone, and the user can use the mobile phone number as the user number, and the call fee will be deducted from his mobile phone prepaid account in real time.

d) In the above three cases, the user can also request to allocate a new number as the user number, and the fee payment is also the same as the above three cases.

e) All users can request to be allocated a new account, which is not associated with a specific number, and the user pays the call fee of the service through this account.

The call access to the user service number is continuous input of the service access code and the user number, or the service access code is dialed first, and then the system prompts to input the user number.

Furthermore, the system can set a user password, and the call can be continued after entering the user password when prompted by the system.

The new feature of the called-to-pay service proposed by the present invention expands the user group, and this expanded user group is willing to pay the caller's fee, thus it is possible to greatly develop the called-to-pay message mode.

Detailed ways

The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

The present invention is implemented in the form of telecommunication services, and is not limited to specific network technologies, network forms and operators. It can be applied to the current fixed telephone network, GSM mobile telephone network, GPRS, CDMA and other 2.5G and 3G networks, but its application may not be limited to the telephone network and technical stages clearly listed above.

When this service is actually implemented, it is combined with a specific network, such as a fixed intelligent network, a mobile intelligent network, and a CDMA intelligent network.

[first embodiment]

As shown in Fig. 1, the system structure of the present invention is realized for the mobile intelligent network.

In the first embodiment of the present invention, the 800 called to pay service is introduced as a prototype, and the access code is set to 888 by the operator. A certain user has a mobile phone with the mobile number ABCDEFGHIJK. The user applies for the called toll service of the present invention and requires ABCDEFGHIJK as the user number, and the password is set to WXYZ. Then the user's service number is 888 ABCDEFGHIJK, the password is WXYZ, and the system default connection number is ABCDEFGHIJK. If someone else (such as relatives, friends, colleagues) wants to contact them and knows their service number and password, they can dial 888 ABCDEFGHIJK, and the system prompts to enter the password and then enter WXYZ, then the system will connect the call to ABCDEFGHIJK to realize the call . The caller does not have to pay for the phone fee, but the user who applies for the service pays.

At the same time, the service user can set the actual connection number, such as the office phone number, then it will no longer be the default number when connecting. The user can also set the actual connection number according to the time, such as the office phone during working hours and the fixed phone at home when off work.

The above added service features actually realize the called payment application for individual users, and provide convenience for the contact between individual users.

[Second embodiment]

The second embodiment of the present invention still takes the 800 service as the prototype, and introduces the implementation on the fixed intelligent network. Its system structure is the same as that in Fig. 1, the difference is that it is a fixed telephone network exchange connected with the intelligent network service exchange point SSP.

Assume that the access code is set to 888 by the operator. A certain user has a fixed telephone, the telephone number (with area code) is 0XYZPQRABCD, applies for this service and requires 0XYZPQRABCD as the user number, and sets the password as WXYZ. Then the user's service number is 888 0XYZPQRABCD, the password is WXYZ, and the system default connection number is 0XYZPQRABCD. Assuming that there are relatives, friends or colleagues who want to contact them and know the service number and password of the service user, they can dial 888 0XYZPQRABCD, and the system prompts to enter the password and then enter WXYZ, then the system will connect the call to 0XYZPQRABCD to realize the call. The caller does not have to pay for the phone fee, but the user who applies for the service pays.

At the same time, the business user can set the actual connection number, such as office and other telephone numbers, then the connection will no longer be the default number. The user can also set the actual connection number according to the time, such as the office phone during working hours and the fixed phone at home when off work.

The above added service features actually realize the called payment application for home users, and provide convenience for the contact between home users.

The business process of the existing called toll service is shown in FIG. 2 . The present invention can be the same as it when it is actually implemented, and what needs to be modified is the step of translating the service number to the purpose code.

Since the present invention is realized based on the intelligent network called toll service, the intelligent network technology and some intelligent services thereof are well known to those skilled in the intelligent field. Therefore, through the above description, it is not difficult for those skilled in the art to realize the FPH service of the present invention.

The present invention allows multiple called toll service users to share one access code, such as 888 above. Within the scope of business opening, when the service number of the business user is used as the called party, the calling party is free, and all charges are paid by the called party. The user can also modify the actual connection number to be the most convenient connection number at that time or choose a different connection number according to time. Anyone can dial the user service number of the user number directly after dialing the access code to connect to the telephone terminal set by the user. Of course, the system may require the calling user to provide an access password before connecting.

The present invention can be implemented on the intelligent platform and the standard intelligent network in the telecommunication network, and the name and access number of the service can be set by the operator. Essentially, the service is a call-to-pay service, and the combination of the above call-to-pay features with any other service should also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
