Abstract

Cette invention concerne un procédé de facturation par partage. Grâce à ce procédé, un abonné appelé partage les facturations téléphoniques uniquement pour des appels qui proviennent d'abonnés appelant et qui se font dans des zones de facturation autorisées par ledit appelé en fonction de conditions qu'il a préalablement indiquées. D'après ce procédé, les informations de partage de facturation d'appelants et/ou d'appelés sont enregistrées à l'avance dans une station de commande, entre autres, et les appelants et appelés partagent les facturations en fonction de ces informations. D'une manière plus spécifique, cette invention concerne plusieurs procédés dont un procédé de facturation et de partage de base. Dans ce procédé, lorsque la destination est modifiée et que la facturation de l'appel vers la destination première est plus élevée que celle de l'appel vers la nouvelle destination, l'appelant va partager la facturation pour le trajet allant de lui-même à la destination première. L'appelé va quant à lui partager la facturation pour le trajet allant de la destination première à lui-même. Un autre procédé de facturation d'appel sélectif permet à l'un ou l'autre des abonnés appelant ou appelés de partager la facturant en fonction du contenu des informations de partage de facturation qui sont stockées dans la station de commande. Selon un autre procédé de facturation, le procédé de facturation par partage selon une valeur d'indice de facturation des messages (MBI), la facturation est partagée entre les deux abonnés en fonction de la valeur MBI.
