Patent

CA 2216533

A system including a rate governor is provided for monitoring and controlling the amount of communications between a remote communication unit (201) and communication server (220). Preferably, as thresholds are passed, a user is alerted to amounts (time and/or charges) spent or remaining, and once a use limit is reached, further communication is restricted. A main rate governor (234) is maintained at the communication server (220), allowing access, control and the like by administrators (260) and the like. A further rate governor (209), responsive to the main rate governor, may also be used at the remote unit (201). By means of the rate governors a method is provided for both limiting user or group data transfer beyond a set amount, as well as providing alerts to users as a limit is approached.

On décrit un système, comportant un contrôleur de coûts, destiné à surveiller et limiter des communications entre une installation de communications distante (201) et un serveur de communications (220). De préférence, quand certains seuils sont franchis, un utilisateur est rendu attentif à des totaux (en temps et/ou argent) dépensés ou restants, et une fois une limite d'utilisation atteinte, les communications sont limitées. Un contrôleur principal de coûts (234) est adjoint au serveur de communications (220) et permet l'accès et les commandes, etc., par des administrateurs (260), etc. Un autre contrôleur de coûts (209), réagissant au contrôleur principal, peut également être adjoint à l'installation distante (201). Un procédé, faisant appel à ces contrôleurs, permet tant de limiter le transfert de données par un groupe ou un utilisateur au-delà d'un chiffre déterminé que d'attirer l'attention des utilisateurs lorsqu'ils s'approchent d'une limite fixée.
