Description

DISPOSITIF POUR APPEL AUTOMATIQUE EN PCVDEVICE FOR AUTOMATIC PCV CALL
La présente invention concerne le domaine des télécommunications. Le plus souvent dans un système de communication par voie téléphonique, le coût de la communication est supporté par l'usager appelant. Cependant depuis de nombreuses années, il a été proposé un service, dénommé généralement PCV, permettant d'imputer le coût à l'usager appelé.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.
Ce service très prometteur, puisqu'il permet par exemple à un usager provisoirement démuni, de joindre un correspondant, n'a pas connu le succès escompté. II a pourtant donné lieu à une littérature abondante.This very promising service, since it allows a temporarily deprived user, for example, to reach a correspondent, has not met with the expected success. However, it has given rise to an abundant literature.
A titre d'exemples, le document US 5 859 902 décrit une méthode automatique pour diffuser des informations de coût d'une communication en PCV, à l'appelé ; le document US 5 787 150 décrit un système qui permet de déposer des messages en PCV ; le document WO 99 16 265 décrit un procédé pour marquer des appels en PCV dans un environnement mobile.By way of example, 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.
La présente invention a pour but de proposer de nouveaux moyens permettant de développer le service de l'appel en PCV.The present invention aims to provide new means for developing the service of collect call.
Ce but est atteint dans le cadre de la présente invention grâce à un dispositif comprenant un moyen apte à mémoriser au moins une donnée spécifique propre à un usager appelé, un moyen apte à comparer une donnée émise par un usager appelant et destinée à identifier un usager appelé, avec des données mémorisées et un moyen adapté pour assurer une communication en PCV, à la charge de l'usager appelé, seulement en cas de coïncidence constatée entre la donnée émise par l'usager appelant et la donnée mémorisée identifiant l'usager appelé. Selon un mode de mise en oeuvre préférentiel de la présente invention, la donnée spécifique propre à un usager appelé est un code confidentiel.This object is achieved in the context of the present invention thanks to 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 . According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the specific data specific to a called user is a confidential code.
D'autres caractéristiques, buts et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée qui va suivre, et en regard du dessin annexé, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif et sur lequel la figure 1 annexée représente schématiquement un dispositif conforme à la présente invention. On a représenté sur la figure annexée : . un réseau de télécommunication RT susceptible d'établir des communications, selon un protocole déterminé, entre des postes appelants 10 et des postes appelés 12 (de préférence chacun des postes 10, 12 pouvant être respectivement appelant ou appelé), etOther characteristics, objects and advantages of the present invention will appear on reading the detailed description which follows, and with reference to the appended drawing, given by way of nonlimiting example and in which the appended 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
. un système 20 de gestion d'appels en PCV à la charge d'un poste appelé.. a PCV call management system 20 charged to a called station.
Dans la suite de la description, on va décrire un mode de réalisation préférentiel de la présente invention dans lequel, les données spécifiques mémorisées, propres à identifier un poste ou usager appelé, sont formées d'un code confidentiel. Cependant la présente invention n'est pas limitée à ce mode de réalisation particulier. Elle s'étend à toutes variantes dans lesquelles les données spécifiques mémorisées et émises par un poste appelant pour identifier un poste appelé à qui l'on souhaite faire supporter la charge financière de l'appel, sont équivalentes à un tel code confidentiel.In the following description, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in which the specific stored data, suitable for identifying a called station or user, are formed by a confidential code. However, 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.
Le système de gestion 20 est interface avec le réseau RT. Il comporte lui même un moyen 22 apte à mémoriser au moins un code confidentiel propre à un usager appelé, et un module 24 qui comprend un moyen apte à comparer un code émis par un usager appelant et destiné à identifier un usager appelé avec les codes confidentiels mémorisés dans le moyen 22 et un moyen adapté pour assurer une communication en PCV, à la charge de l'usager appelé, seulement en cas de coïncidence constatée entre le code émis par l'usager appelant et le code mémorisé identifiant l'usager appelé. Comme illustré sur la figure annexée, le système de gestion 20 est lui même interface (par l'intermédiaire d'une interface 32) avec un centre de facturation 30 pour provoquer une facturation automatique du poste appelé.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.
Par ailleurs on a schématisé en 40, la possibilité pour un poste susceptible d'être appelé et d'accepter les appels en PCV, d'intervenir sur le système de gestion 20, par l'intermédiaire du réseau de télécommunications RT, pour modifier son code confidentiel mémorisé dans le moyen 22 ou encore ajouter un code spécifique. Dans le cadre de la présente invention, chaque poste susceptible d'être appelé peut bien entendu mémoriser plusieurs codes confidentiels communiqués à des panels choisis de correspondants, par exemple pour des services différents. De plus un même usager peut associer un code unique à plusieurs numéros de téléphone sur lesquels il est susceptible d'être appelé.In addition, we have schematized at 40, the possibility for a station likely to be called and to accept collect calls, to intervene on the management system 20, via the telecommunications network RT, to modify its confidential code stored in means 22 or else add a specific code. In the context of the present invention, each station capable of being called can of course store several confidential codes communicated to selected panels of correspondents, for example for different services. In addition, the same user can associate a unique code with several telephone numbers on which he is likely to be called.
Le protocole d'appel en PCV peut lui même faire l'objet de nombreuses variantes de réalisation. De préférence il répond au séquencement suivant. Un poste appelant souhaitant joindre un poste dit appelé, en PCV, et ayant connaissance du code confidentiel de celui-ci, appelle un serveur accessible par numéro court gratuit et sur demande de ce serveur, compose le numéro d'annuaire de l'appelé, puis présente le code confidentiel PCV de l'appelé. Si le code confidentiel est reconnu correct, (c'est à dire si le code reçu correspond effectivement à un numéro de téléphone géré dans la mémoire 22), la communication est établie à la charge du poste appelé.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.
De préférence le souscripteur, qui correspond au poste appelé, voit le coût de la communication sur sa facture, avec un intitulé spécifique.Preferably the subscriber, who corresponds to the called station, sees the cost of the communication on his invoice, with a specific title.
L'appel vers l'appelé peut éventuellement être signalé par un message standard spécifique, tel que par exemple « vous recevez un appel en PCV ».The call to the called party can possibly be signaled by a specific standard message, such as for example "you receive a collect call".
Dans le cadre de la présente invention, le code confidentiel constitue une condition indispensable pour l'imputation du coût de la communication à la charge du poste appelé et constitue par conséquent une garantie pour ce dernier.In the context of the present invention, 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.
La présente invention permet une mise en communication automatique en PCV, i.e. à la charge d'un poste appelé, en toute sécurité, grâce à la protection conférée par le code confidentiel contrôlé.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.
La présente invention permet de limiter automatiquement la réception d'appels en PCV, en provenance des seuls appelants ou correspondants choisis ayant connaissance du code confidentiel défini par le poste appelé.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.
Bien entendu la présente invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation particulier qui vient d'être décrit, mais s'étend à toutes variantes conformes à son esprit. La présente invention s'applique à tous types de télécommunications, téléphonie fixe ou mobile (GSM, ISDN). Elle vise tous types d'applications, notamment les applications commerciales. Of course 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.
