Patent

CA 2340260

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for determining whether a party initiating a telephone call is authorized by the recipient party to communicate with the recipient party. If the calling party is not authorized (34), a fee may be charged (37) to the calling party in order for communication to the recipient party to continue. Processing equipment located at the subscriber's central office is programmed to determine the identity (32) of the calling party and determine if the calling party is an authorized party to the communication recipient. This is done by comparing the calling parties identity (32) or telephone number to a pre-programmed list (34) of authorized calling parties associated with the called parties identifier or telephone number.

L'invention porte sur un procédé et un appareil déterminant si une partie appelante est autorisée par la partie appelée à communiquer avec elle. Si la partie appelante n'est pas autorisée (34) une taxe peut lui être facturée (37) pour lui permettre de poursuivre la communication avec le partie appelée. Un équipement de traitement situé dans le central de l'abonné est programmé pour déterminer l'identité de la partie appelante et son habilitation à communiquer avec la partie appelée. Cela se fait en comparant l'identité (32) de la partie appelante ou son N DEG de téléphone à une liste (34) préétablie des parties appelantes autorisées associée à l'identificateur ou au N DEG de téléphone des parties appelées.
