W) 3, and TSW 3 is accommodated in the central office line trunk (hereinafter C0
T) 1st through 4T and 4C, respectively. It houses the central office line to the second carrier. The TSW 3 is exchange-controlled by a communication path system control device (hereinafter referred to as 5pc) 5. A central control unit (hereinafter referred to as CC) 6 reads out an exchange processing program stored in a main memory device (hereinafter referred to as MM) 7 and executes it. The configuration up to this point is the same as a general storage program control type automatic private branch exchange, and a detailed explanation of its functions will be omitted.This embodiment sends and receives billing information and selected route information to and from the CC6. Billing processing device (hereinafter M
RC) 8 and a maintenance console (hereinafter referred to as MAT) 9 for inputting billing rate data to the MRC 8. The MRC8 has a CC interface unit (hereinafter referred to as CIF) 81 that interfaces with the CC6, and a MAT interface unit (hereinafter referred to as MIF) that interfaces with the MAT9.
82, a control unit (hereinafter referred to as CTL) 83 that reads and executes a control program stored in PROM 85, and M
, a storage unit (hereinafter referred to as MEM) 8 that stores billing rate data for each selected route and each time period that is input in advance from the AT9.
It is composed of 4.
続いて本実施例の動作について説明する。Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.
まず現時点の課金体系による課金率データをＭＲＣ８に
記憶させておく。すなわち、ＭＡＴ９から選択ルート別
、休日夜間等の時間帯別の課金率データを入力すると、
ＭＩＦ８２を介してＭＥＭ。First, charging rate data according to the current charging system is stored in the MRC 8. In other words, if you input billing rate data by selected route and time zone such as holidays and nights from MAT9,
MEM via MIF82.
８４にこの課金率データが書き込まれる。This billing rate data is written in 84.
この状態で、例えば５ＴＡ１から局線発信すると、公知

選択を行い、例えばＣ０Ｔ４Ｃを選択して５ＴＡ１−Ｌ
Ｃ２−ＴＳＷ３−ＣＯＴ４Ｃの通話路を設定し、特定の
アクセスコードを付加して被呼者番号をＣ０Ｔ４Ｃを介
して対局へ送出する。In this state, when a central office line call is made from, for example, 5TA1, the CC6 edits billing information such as the date and time of the call to the called party number 1 and sends it to the MRC8, as is well known. In MRC8, CTL83 receives this billing information via CIF31, and PROM85
The control program read from CC6 calculates which route should be selected to get the lowest fare, and the route information is sent to CC6.
Send it back to CC6 performs route selection based on this route information, for example, selects C0T4C and connects 5TA1-L.
A communication path C2-TSW3-COT4C is set up, a specific access code is added, and the called party number is sent to the other party via C0T4C.
発呼者、被呼者間の通話が終了したとき、ＣＣ６はこの
通話に関する課金情報（発呼者番号、被呼者番号１通話
開始時刻１通話時間、ルート番号等）を編集してＭＲＣ
８へ送出する。この課金情報を受信したＭＲＣ８では、
ＣＴＬ８３がＭＥＭ８４からこの課金情報に基づく課金
率データを読み出すとともに通話料金計算を行ってその
結果の料金情報をＣＣ６へ返送する。When the call between the calling party and the called party ends, the CC6 edits the billing information regarding this call (calling party number, called party number 1 call start time 1 call duration, route number, etc.) and sends it to the MRC.
Send to 8. MRC8 receives this billing information,
The CTL 83 reads billing rate data based on this billing information from the MEM 84, calculates the call charge, and returns the resulting charge information to the CC6.
なお、課金体系が変更になって課金率を変更する必要が
あるときは、ＭＡＴ９から新課金率データを入力してＭ
ＥＭ８４の内容を書き替えればよい。If the billing system changes and you need to change the billing rate, enter the new billing rate data from MAT9 and press M.
Just rewrite the contents of EM84.

工数で課金体系の変更に対処できる効果がある。As explained above, the present invention uses a billing processing device added to an exchange using a storage program control system to calculate the route information that provides the minimum charge when making a call from an extension terminal to a central office line, and also calculates the call charge. By transmitting the information to the exchange, there is no need to change the billing processing part in the exchange processing program of the exchange each time the billing system is changed, and there is an effect that changes in the billing system can be handled with less man-hours.
