(Example of Method) Next, the details of the caller identification and connection method according to one embodiment of the present invention applied to the above-described system apparatus will be described. First, the basic concept will be described.

The present invention provides an identification and billing function for identifying a caller and charging according to the identification, an identification connection function for identifying the caller and assigning a connection destination according to the identification, and identifying the caller. This can be realized by an identification ID storage function that connects to the guidance according to the identification and stores the outgoing telephone number (telephone number of the telephone used by the caller).

Here, the identification and billing function is a function for distinguishing between a call originated from a telephone number registered in the network in advance by a caller identification connection setting contractor and a call other than that, and performing separate billing. The identification connection function is a function of connecting a call originated from a telephone number registered in the network in advance by a caller identification connection setting contractor and a call other than that to different reception destinations.

The identification ID storage function connects the call originated from the telephone number registered in the network in advance by the caller identification connection setting contractor to the reception line. Is a function to accumulate in the network. In this case, the stored caller telephone number can be queried by customer control of the caller identification connection setting contractor.

The present invention can be realized by using the identification charging function, the identification connection function, and the identification ID storage function independently, but they are usually used in competition.

Here, in each of the above functions, an identification DB (identification database) in which a caller identification connection setting contractor registers a telephone number in a network in advance will be described. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an identification DB and a configuration function in a caller identification connection method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, a database for identifying the caller is constructed in the network, and the caller ID that the caller identification connection number contractor (IP) wants to identify is registered in the identification DB 9. Here, the calling ID is the telephone number of the telephone a dialed by the caller. In addition, the telephone a also includes a telephone dialed by a caller, a terminal, and a unit having a telephone function.

For a call from the telephone a1 in which the calling ID is registered, the calling ID is recognized and the identification DB 9 is registered.
When it is determined that there is a registration, the ID ID storage function is turned ON / O.
Irrespective of the FF, a billing instruction is issued by the identification billing function to specify, for example, full-rate charging, and a connection instruction is issued by the identification connection function.

On the other hand, for a call from the telephone a2 for which the caller ID is not registered, the caller ID is recognized by the identification DB 9, and
(I) When the identification ID storage function is OFF, if it is determined that there is no registration in the identification DB 9, the identification charging function issues a charging instruction to specify, for example, full-call origination side charging, and issues a connection instruction using the identification connection function. On the other hand, (ii) when the ID storage function is ON, an ID storage instruction is issued by the ID storage function.

The telephone number that the caller dials with the telephones a1 and a2 is a caller identification connection telephone number, which is usually called a specific called number, for example, "0570" (0AB).
0 code) + “Caller ID setting contractor exclusive number” (D
To J). The telephone numbers of the telephones a1 and a2 to be dialed by the caller are called telephone numbers,
This corresponds to the above-mentioned calling ID.

Here, how to realize the identification DB 9 will be described. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of how to realize the identification DB in the caller identification and connection method according to one embodiment of the present invention.

The identification DB 9 is provided in the NSSP 4, the registration service order is registered by the NSSP control terminal 11 installed in the service order center 10, and the customer controller installed in the caller identification connection setting contractor which is the user side. 12, the telephone number stored by the identification ID storage function is used, and a registration process is performed. Then, the NSSP control terminal 1 of the service order center 10
1. Download the identification data of the identification DB 9 processed by the customer controller 12 to the NSP 3 and store it.

Further, as described above, since the present invention can be realized by combining the identification charging function, the identification connection function, and the identification ID storage function, the identification DB 9 may be provided separately for each function. Instead, it is recommended that the database be shared between a plurality of functions.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a form of sharing constituent functions in the caller identification and connection method according to one embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, in the identification DB 9 in which a plurality of functions are shared by one database and a plurality of functions are shared, if there is registration, the classification is further classified into a plurality of identification classes (A, A in the figure). B, C), and the registration ID, ie, the telephone number of the caller, is used for identification charging, identification connection,
Various functions for storing the IDs can be realized together to meet the needs of the user. Actually, as explained in FIG.
The presence or absence of registration and the classified identification data are NSP3
And is referred to and used for each individual call.

Next, for each of the above functions, after dialing the caller identification connection telephone number, the identification DB 9 makes a judgment and describes what processing is to be performed in chronological order. FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the identification and billing function in the caller identification and connection method according to one embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, when the calling party dials a specific called number (caller identification connection telephone number) (ST)
1-1), the notification call of the calling ID is determined (ST1-2),
If there is a notification call, the identification DB 9 is compared with the notification call (ST
1-3), identification and registration ID determination as a result of collation (ST1-4)
Accordingly, if the notification call is registered, a charging instruction is issued in the case of registration (ST1-5). On the other hand, if the notification call is not registered by the identification registration ID determination in ST1-4, no registration is performed. An accounting instruction is performed (ST1-6).

Further, the notification call of the calling ID in ST1-2 is determined. If the calling ID is not notified, the reason for notifying the calling ID is determined (ST1-7). It is determined whether or not to transmit the guidance of "notify the number and call again" (ST1-8), and if it is determined that the guidance is to be transmitted, the notification is transmitted (ST1-9).
In the determination of non-transmission, a charging instruction in the case of no registration is performed (ST1-6).

FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the identification connection function in the caller identification connection method according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the drawing, when the specific called number is dialed on the calling side (ST2-1), the notification call of the calling ID is determined (ST2-2). If there is a notification call, the identification DB 9 and the notification call are determined. (ST2-3), and as a result of the identification and registration ID determination (ST2-4), if the notification call is registered,
A line occupancy determination (ST2-5) is performed. If the line is empty, a connection instruction is issued when there is a registration (ST2-6).

On the other hand, if the notification call has not been registered according to the identification / registration ID determination in ST2-4, the line idle / busy determination (ST2-
8), and if empty, a connection instruction in the case of no registration is given (ST2-9), and if busy, it is busy (ST2-1).
0).

Also, the notification call of the calling ID of ST2-2 is determined. If the calling ID is not notified, the reason for notifying the calling ID is determined (ST2-11). Please notify the number and call back again "(ST2-12).
If it is determined that the data is to be transmitted, the data is transmitted to that effect (ST2-13).
On the other hand, in the determination of non-transmission, the line idle / busy determination (ST2-
8), and if empty, a connection instruction in the case of no registration is given (ST2-9), and if busy, it is busy (ST2-1).
0).

FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining the identification ID storage function in the sender identification connection method according to one embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, when a specific called number is dialed on the calling side (ST3-1), a notification call of the calling ID is determined (ST3-2). Is compared with the notification call (ST3-3), and if the notification call is registered by the identification / registration ID determination (ST3-4) as a result of the verification, a line busy / busy determination (ST3-5) is performed. In this case, the connection is instructed when there is a registration (ST3-6), and when it is closed, it is busy (ST3-7).

On the other hand, if the notification call has not been registered in the identification registration ID determination in ST3-4, the upper limit value of the number of stored IDs in the identification DB 9 is determined (ST3-8). Sends guidance and accumulates calling ID (ST
3-9) If the upper limit is exceeded, a guidance transmission determination is made (ST3-10). If it is transmitted, guidance that cannot be stored is transmitted (ST3-11). ST3-12).

In step ST3-2, the call for notification of the calling ID is determined. If the calling ID is not notified, the reason for notifying the calling ID is determined (ST3-13). Please send the guidance "Notify the number and call again" (ST3-14, ST3-15), and if the reason is other than private, "Call again from the terminal that can notify the calling phone number." A guidance to that effect is sent (ST3-16, ST3-17). The above is the basic concept.

Next, the identification connection function, the identification and billing function, and the identification ID storage function when applied to the above-mentioned system apparatus example will be described separately and independently.
