するディジタル電話機も考案されている。In digital telephone networks or digital private branch exchange networks such as PBX and CES that employ digital transmission methods in their premises systems, time division multiplexing transmission technology is used to transfer voice information transfer layer information between telephones and exchanges. In addition to channels, it is common to provide a signal channel for sending and receiving call control signals (outgoing, incoming, response, selection signals, etc.), and various services can be implemented using this signal channel. . An example of this is the call charge display service already implemented in digital telephone networks. In this system, call charge information is sent from the exchange via a signal channel to the telephone that made the call, and the telephone displays the information based on this information. In addition, a digital telephone has been devised in which the call charge is notified at fixed intervals during the call, at the end of the call, or both, and the call charge is accumulated at the end of the call.

。However, with conventional digital telephones of this type,
Since the call charge information sent from the network is simply displayed, or even if it is accumulated for each call, it is simply read and displayed by user operation, it has the following drawbacks.

（１）通話料金の節約を意識していても、通話しながら
表示器をたえず注視するのは一般に困難で、意に反して

Therefore, when managing monthly telephone charges, for example, cumulative charges are managed after the end of a call, making detailed management difficult.

（３）最近の経費節約傾向の中で、家庭や会社における

初め、通話料金使用限度額の入力設定動作について説明
する。First, the operation of inputting and setting the usage limit for call charges will be explained.

入力設定動作を開始するには、まず、利用者は機能キー

設定層の数値データとして扱われる。The control circuit 4 periodically activates the input monitoring program under the control of the scheduler to perform key scanning, and upon detecting and confirming the press of the setting request key, activates the charge control program. Since the activation request is a setting request, the charge control program automatically enters the charge setting mode when the display control program is instructed to output a display pattern for setting charges. In the rate setting mode, dial information is treated as numerical data of the rate setting layer.

メモリエリアへ格納する。That is, the pressing of the dial switch 12 is similarly detected by the input monitoring program in the control circuit 4, and is transferred to the charge control program, which confirms whether the required number of digits has been reached or the pressing of a setting key that requests registration of input numerical values. By doing so, the setting is completed and stored in the corresponding memory area of the data memory 5.

第５図に、−例としＣ′５桁の合計料金、４桁の呼毎の
料金を設定する場合の動作フローを示す。FIG. 5 shows an operational flow in the case where, as an example, a 5-digit total charge C' and a 4-digit charge per call are set.

を。In the case of the first call after setting the charge, the value at address n of the data memory 5 will be displayed as the total usage limit and the value at address (n+1) as the limit for each call will be displayed on the display 11 when the call transitions to busy. Ru. When the charge information sent at regular intervals during a call is received, it is temporarily held in the memory 5 and stored at address (n+6), for example), and since the call is made in the later setting period, the total limit (
(Contents of address n) to notification fee (Contents of address (n+6))

When the data is stored at address n+5), both - are displayed on the display 11. After that, the same operation will be performed when the charge is notified during the call and when the charge is notified at the end of the call.

また、２回目以降の発信の場合は１合計限度額として最

番地の内容をベースにすることを除けば同様である。In addition, for the second and subsequent calls, the total limit is the amount minus the charge for the first call, i.e. (n+4).
It is the same except that it is based on the contents of the address.

以上のようにして、減算した結果が各々の警告限度額（

(for example, zero), the rate control program will
It instructs the tone generation program and display control program to output a tone and display for alarm notification, respectively. Note that the warning limit can of course be set to an arbitrary value in the same manner as the fee setting.

プログラム制御により容易に実現できる。Figure 7 is an example of another processing module configuration of the charge control program. Calls are restricted for a certain period of time (for example, 5 or 10 minutes), and it is now possible to set a call restriction time. Regarding (2), this can be easily achieved by disconnecting the call by the charge control program instructing the call control program to disconnect the call, and then disabling the charge control program from allowing the call control program to start even if the call is off-hook. In addition, (2) can also be easily realized by program control as a soft timer.

易に類推できる。When a call in progress is disconnected, subsequent outgoing calls are restricted, and it is now possible to cancel the outgoing call restriction. The implementation of the call disconnection and outgoing restriction in ■ is the same as described above, but in this example, compared to the case in Figure 7, the outgoing call restriction is based on the total charge, and the outgoing restriction is not restricted until the outgoing restriction is lifted. The difference is that it continues. The call restriction can be canceled by a combination of a function key switch and a dialed password number, or by resetting the total call charge limit. In addition, Figures 7 and 8
A digital telephone that also has the processing module shown in the figure can be easily inferred.

第６図と同様な減算処理、アラーム処理等を行う。As a specific operational flow, FIG. 10 shows an example of a sequence for setting a telephone number and charges for that telephone number. The operation in FIG. 10 is basically the same as the operation at the time of rate setting in FIG. 5, and differs only in that the rate is set for a specific telephone number. The operation of the charge control program when making a call is to match the dialed number sent to the network by pressing the dial or making a call operation such as re-dial or repertoire re-dial with the entered telephone number (← If there are multiple set telephone numbers, If the verification is successful, the same subtraction processing, alarm processing, etc. as in FIG. 6 are performed based on the usage limit charge set for that specific number.

Further, although omitted in the embodiment, as charge setting according to the calling telephone number, it is also possible to set a charge for each call separately for long-distance calls/local calls, and set a total charge.

You can set whether or not to use it, and during a call, you can display the subtraction of the limit amount and the notification fee from the network, and when the result of the subtraction reaches a warning level, an alarm notification will be sent, and the call will be disconnected. The configuration is such that calls are disconnected when the limit is reached, and outgoing calls are restricted when the total limit has been used up, so it has the advantage of being able to proactively manage call charges as described below.
