摘要： To prevent fraud perpetrators from using a public pay telephone to illicitly collect account numbers, authorization codes or personal identification numbers from an unsuspecting user of the telephone, the instant invention disables the keypad of the telephone if an incoming call is being received at the time that the handset is lifted from the phone by the user. In one method, the ringing signal and the off-hook condition are detected and a control output is provided which disengages the dialing tone generating circuits of the telephone until the handset is placed back on-hook. According to an alternative method, after the handset is lifted, a dial tone is sensed and evaluated by a dial tone discriminator to determine whether the dial tone is likely to be a valid dial tone from a legitimate service provider. If the dial tone is determined to be invalid, then the keypad of the telephone is disabled until the handset is placed back on-hook.

摘要： A system and method that enables high-speed communications access from a fixed location public terminal. A fixed location public terminal includes a high-speed communications interface. The high-speed communications interface is coupled to one or more data servers via a high-speed communications network. The high-speed communications interface includes one or more data ports enabling one or more data application devices to be connected to the fixed location public terminal. The fixed location public terminal operates as an interface that initiates high-speed communications between the one or more data servers and one or more data application devices. A user places a telephone call to a high-speed data communications provider. The telephone call terminates at a data server that determines a data port address of the fixed location public terminal according to a plain-old-telephone system (POTS) number assigned to the fixed location public terminal. The data server also authorizes payment for the high-speed data communications and enables high-speed communications access using the high-speed communications interface.

摘要： A call intercept process (CIP) for calling card calls originating from an international country and terminating to high fraud domestic USA, and Canada locations. When a call is placed via a calling card and terminates to a high fraud domestic location, the call is optionally screened against a database which keys on international originating country access numbers. Whether this screening implemented, the call is routed to a first level operator in order to verify the billing account information of the caller as an authorized user. This verification is based on customer and business name, address, zip code, and phone number. If the caller passes verification, a CIP process automatically overrides the calling card from any future Intercepts. If caller fails account verification, the a CIP process automatically places the card in a ‘LOCKED STATUS MODE’ which mode indicates that any additional calls based on that card be intercepted regardless of termination. At any time the caller passes verification, the card is lifted and placed in an override process via the CIP process. Pass and failed alerts are generated and passed to a fraud system, in real time, to allow for notification of outcome to all fraud analysts. An additional process enables call intercept failures at a first level operator to fail to a second level operator which allows for further verification and research on customer identity and account to take place.

摘要： One variant from a large number of possible services and/or service combinations is made available to the customer via a dialogue of human-machine interaction: a variant which the customer needs to solve his/her problem or to comply with his/her service request. In the process, it is checked whether the customer has access to the terminal configuration required for this variant and verified that the customer's terminal configuration supports the service and/or service combination concerned. For the customer's access to the calling card service, cards of completely different types, personal phone card, prepaid card, “call home” card, etc., are admitted. The type of calling card defines the customer's access authorization to the various possible services and/or service combinations, as well as the manner of billing those services. The present invention is suited for increasing the degree of automation of the services offered by calling card providers.

摘要： To provide toll services but limit the amount of such services, toll calls from a party's line are routed to selected calling card type processing equipment. However, so that such calling party's have equal access to multiple carriers and need not dial additional digits, the communications network supplies calling and dialed number information to the processing equipment. The network preferably identifies the call as requiring a special application (without user input of billing number or PIN information). The processing equipment performs all necessary account related screening, e.g. to determine the remaining amount of funds available for the caller's toll services, to route the call and to continuously rate the call cost for the duration of the call. If there are no remaining funds, the call is disallowed. If the funds run-out during the call, the calling card type processing equipment interrupts the call and informs the caller. The invention may be implemented using switch-based PIC functionality to route the calls to the selected service provider's equipment. The preferred embodiment, however, utilizes intelligent network processing, to select one provider's equipment, route the call to that provider's equipment, and supply the necessary information to the equipment, in order to facilitate the account processing without further input from the caller. The caller need only dial a 1+ the 10-digit number to place a toll call, in the normal manner.
摘要翻译：为了提供长途服务，但是限制这些服务的数量，来自一方的线路的呼叫将被路由到选择的呼叫卡类型的处理设备。然而，为了使这样的主叫方具有对多个载波的同等接入，不需要拨打附加的数字，通信网络向呼叫和拨打的号码信息提供给处理设备。网络优选地将呼叫识别为需要特殊应用（没有用户输入计费号或PIN信息）。处理设备执行所有必要的帐户相关筛选，例如确定可用于呼叫者长途服务的剩余资金量，路由呼叫并在呼叫期间连续评估呼叫成本。如果没有剩余资金，则不允许通话。如果在通话期间资金耗尽，则呼叫卡类型处理设备中断呼叫并通知呼叫者。本发明可以使用基于开关的PIC功能来实现，以将呼叫路由到所选择的服务提供商的设备。然而，优选实施例利用智能网络处理来选择一个供应商的设备，将呼叫路由到该供应商的设备，并将该必要信息提供给该设备，以便于不进行来自呼叫者的进一步输入的帐户处理。呼叫者只需拨一个1〜10位数字就可以按正常方式拨打长途电话。

摘要： In general, a call rating and debiting system provides a way of rating and debiting complex debit card calls. The system estimates the time when a subscriber's balance will expire by using total charges for all calls for a given time period. Estimation is performed by accounting for time already paid for, reserving a minimum continuation time for adding a new call, reserving time for all calls up to a latest paid for time, estimating remaining time before a subscriber's balance reaches zero, based upon a remaining balance achieved after the system accounts for time already paid for, reserving a minimum continuation time for adding a new call and reserving time for all calls up to the latest paid for time, and setting a time limit for all calls in accordance with any portion of the aforementioned. An alternative embodiment of the system allows a subscriber's account balance to be automatically increased after the balance decreases past a predefined minimum.
