Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of telecommunications. Most often in a telephone communication system, the cost of the communication is borne by the calling user. However, for many years, a service has been proposed, generally called PCV, allowing the cost to the called user to be charged.
- PCV a service has been proposed, generally called PCV, allowing the cost to the called user to be charged.
- document US Pat. No. 5,859,902 describes an automatic method for broadcasting cost information of a collect call, to the called party;
- document US Pat. No. 5,787,150 describes a system which makes it possible to deposit messages in POS;
- WO 99 16 265 describes a method for marking collect calls in a mobile environment.
- the present invention aims to provide new means for developing the service of collect call.
- a device comprising a means capable of storing at least one specific data item specific to a called user, a means able to compare a data item emitted by a calling user and intended to identify a user called, with stored data and a means adapted to ensure a communication in POS, at the expense of the called user, only in case of coincidence noted between the data sent by the calling user and the stored data identifying the called user .
- the specific data specific to a called user is a confidential code.
- FIG. 1 schematically represents a device according to the present invention.
- the attached figure shows:. an RT telecommunications network capable of establishing communications, according to a determined protocol, between calling stations 10 and called stations 12 (preferably each of the sets 10, 12 can be respectively calling or called), and
- a PCV call management system 20 charged to a called station.
- the present invention is not limited to this particular embodiment. It extends to all variants in which the specific data stored and transmitted by a calling station to identify a called station which one wishes to bear the financial burden of the call, are equivalent to such a confidential code.
- the management system 20 interfaces with the network RT. It itself comprises a means 22 capable of storing at least one confidential code specific to a called user, and a module 24 which comprises a means capable of comparing a code transmitted by a calling user and intended to identify a called user with the confidential codes stored in the means 22 and a means adapted to ensure a communication in POS, at the expense of the called user, only in the event of coincidence observed between the code transmitted by the calling user and the stored code identifying the called user. As illustrated in the appended figure, the management system 20 is itself an interface (via an interface 32) with a billing center 30 to cause automatic billing of the called station.
- each station capable of being called can of course store several confidential codes communicated to selected panels of correspondents, for example for different services.
- the same user can associate a unique code with several telephone numbers on which he is likely to be called.
- the collect call protocol can itself be the subject of numerous variant embodiments. Preferably it responds to the following sequencing.
- a calling station wishing to join a so-called called station, in PCV, and having knowledge of its confidential code, calls a server accessible by free short number and on request from this server, dials the directory number of the called party, then presents the called party's PCV confidential code. If the confidential code is recognized as correct (that is to say if the code received actually corresponds to a telephone number managed in memory 22), communication is established at the expense of the called station.
- the subscriber who corresponds to the called station, sees the cost of the communication on his invoice, with a specific title.
- the call to the called party can possibly be signaled by a specific standard message, such as for example "you receive a collect call”.
- the confidential code constitutes an essential condition for charging the cost of communication chargeable to the called station and therefore constitutes a guarantee for the latter.
- the present invention allows an automatic communication in PCV, i.e. at the expense of a called station, in full safety, thanks to the protection conferred by the controlled confidential code.
- the present invention makes it possible to automatically limit the reception of collect calls, originating only from the selected callers or correspondents having knowledge of the confidential code defined by the called station.
- the present invention is not limited to the particular embodiment which has just been described, but extends to all variants in accordance with its spirit.
- the present invention applies to all types of telecommunications, fixed or mobile telephony (GSM, ISDN). It targets all types of applications, in particular commercial applications.
