METHOD FOR PROCESSING TELEPHONE CALL

Abstract A method for processing telephone call includes: access number configuration information corresponding to a called number is stored in an access number configuration equipment in a communication system; the calling party requests for the pre-call registration in the communication system, the communication system adds a corresponding pre-call registration record into a pre-call registration list according to the access number configuration information; the calling party initiates the call to the called party, after the communication system receives the call request of the calling party and before calling the called party, the communication system determines whether the calling party has been registered in the pre-call registration list, if the calling party has been registered, connects the call request and initiates the call to the called party; otherwise, refuses to initiate the call to the called party. In the method for processing telephone call according to the present invention, it is ensured that a called party would not miss important incoming calls when he does not want to be disturbed. A calling party can request for the pre-call registration by means of short message or Internet so as to call the called party.
Full Text Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the communication technology field, and particularly to a
method for processing telephone call.
Background of the Invention
With the development of the communication technology, fixed phones and mobile phones
are increasingly popular, and have become an indispensable part of people's life and work.
Today, information becomes more and more important. People have gradually given up the
communication manner of letter, which takes a relatively longer time, and turn to use other
manners such as telephone to obtain information and improve relationship quickly and
conveniently. While the telephone brings convenience to people, many people feel the annoyance
brought by modern civilization into daily life to some extent. For example, it is not hard to
imagine how people will response when a raspy telephone ring bursts in a still night. Calls in
improper time would affect people's life and work unavoidably, particularly some un-emergent
calls, especially harassing calls, would seriously affect people's daily life, both physically and
mentally.
For avoiding the above problems, powering off is the simplest way. But if the telephone
is powered off, the user could not answer any incoming call, including the call from the relatives
and friends, and may miss some emergent calls which are very important for the user. Also, after
the telephone is powered off, the user easily forgets to power it on when he needs to answer a
call, for example, if the connection line of the fixed phone is pulled out last night, a user easily
forgets to connect the line with the fixed phone in die next day, which would affect the user for
answering some necessary calls. Therefore, although this method is simple, it is extremely
inconvenient for the user.
Now for the mobile communication, a service named secretary system is provided. When
the mobile phone number of the called party subscribing this service is dialed, if the called party
does not want to be disturbed by the phone call, the secretary system would prompt the calling
party to leave message and inform the called party by short message etc.. In this situation, the
called party could decide whether to call back according to the message left by the calling party.
The called party might not call back for unimportant call and could call back for the important
call at convenient time, which ensures that the called party will not be disturbed by the incoming


call in a given period. A user needs to pay for this way, and the called party usually could not
deal with some emergent affairs in time because the secretary system informs the called party by
changing the incoming call from the calling party into short message which may be delayed or
even be lost. In addition, under the condition of one-way charge for mobile communication, the
payout of the called party would be increased for calling back, therefore this method is also
inconvenient for the called party.
To solve the problem of call disturbance, another method is the incoming call filtering.
When a user does not want to be disturbed by unimportant calls, the user could inform the
communication carrier providing this service to allow connection of the calls from certain calling
numbers, and refuse to connect the calls from other calling numbers except for these specified
calling numbers. In this manner, the user needs to set the calling number frequently, and if too
many calling numbers are set, the connecting time would be prolonged, which is still
inconvenient for the user.
Summary of the Invention
According to one aspect of the invention, a method for processing telephone call which is
used to limit an incoming call is provided, so that a communication system limits the incoming
call according to an access number which is set by the called party rather than according to a
calling number.
According to another aspect of the invention, a method for processing telephone call is
provided, the method includes:
storing access number configuration information corresponding to a called number in a
communication system;
setting a pre-call registration list in the communication system and adding a
corresponding record into the pre-call registration list according to the access number
configuration information on receiving a registration request from a calling party;
determining whether the calling party has been registered in the pre-call registration list
on receiving a call request from a calling party, if the calling party has been registered,
connecting the call request and initiating the call to the called party; otherwise, refusing to
initiate the call to the called party.
The access number configuration information includes the correspondence information


between an access number call period and an access number;
On receiving a registration request from a calling party, determining whether the current
time belongs to the call period corresponding to the access number according to the access
number configuration information; if it does, adding the corresponding record into the pre-call
registration list; otherwise, returning information of pre-call registration failure to the calling
party.
The access number configuration information includes the correspondence information
between an access number call period and an access number; the method further includes;
before initiating the call to the called party, determining whether the current time belongs
to the access number call period according to the access number configuration information; if it
does, further checking and determining, by the communication system, whether the calling party
has been registered in the pre-call registration list; otherwise, connecting the call request and
initiating the call to the called party.
The access number configuration information includes the correspondence information
between an access number call period and an access number;
Step c further includes: after determining the calling party has been registered, further
determining whether the current time belongs to the access number call period according to the
access number configuration information; if it does, connecting the call to the called party;
otherwise, refusing the call request.
A super access number, through which a call connection can be processed in any access
number call period, is set in the access number configuration information.
The registration request from the calling party is received by means of short message,
telephone voice interaction or web pages; the registration request comprises the calling number,
the called number and the access number.
setting an allowed call period in the pre-call registration list, if the calling party has been
registered in the pre-call registration list and the call request is received in the allowed call
period, initiating the call to the called party; otherwise, refusing to initiate the call to the called
party.
If it is determined that the calling party has not been registered in the pre-call registration
list, the communication system prompts the calling party about the connection failure, and


prompts the calling party to request for the pre-call registration by means of short message or
telephone voice interaction.
After it is determined that the calling party has been registered in the pre-call registration
list and before initiating the call to the called party, the method further comprises: inquiring, by
the communication system, the called party whether to answer the call from the calling party; if
the called party returns a message of agreement, initiating the call to the called party, otherwise,
refusing to initiate the call to the called party
The communication system inquires the called party whether to answer the call from the
calling party by means of short message or telephone voice interaction.
After it is determined that the calling party has been registered in the pre-call registration
list, checking whether a super access number corresponding to the calling number is set in the
access number configuration information; if it is, initiating the call to the called party; otherwise,
inquiring the called party whether to answer the call.
Scene status parameter information of the called party is stored in the access number
configuration information; during the call, the called party decides to enable the function of
access number call, initiate the call to the called party or refuse to initiate the call to the called
party according to the scene status parameter.
The access number configuration information is stored in an SCP(Service Control Point),
the corresponding pre-call registration record is added into the pre-call registration list in the
SCP, and when the call request from the calling party is received, the SCP determines whether
the calling party has been registered in the pre-call registration list.
The access number configuration information is stored in a dedicated server, the
corresponding pre-call registration record is added into the pre-call registration list in the
dedicated server, and when the call request from the calling party is received, the dedicated
server determines whether the calling party has been registered.
It can be seen from the embodiments of the present invention that the called party can
enable the function of access number call by setting the access number configuration information
while he does not want to be disturbed by the incoming call, thereby each calling party is
required to input the access number, if the calling party doesn't obtain the correct access number
information from the called party, the incoming call from the calling party will not be connected


to the called party, thereby the called party is ensured not to be disturbed by some unimportant
incoming calls or harassing calls while he doesn't want to be disturbed, the relatives or friends of
the called party can obtain the correct access number information from the called party, thus they
can still contact the called party by telephones, thereby the called party is ensured not to miss the
incoming call that he wants to answer.
Also, by setting the access number, the user can replace the calling group without
changing the telephone number. For example, when he often receives harassing calls, the user
can prohibit the harassing calls by setting the access number. If the calling party of the harassing
call knows the access number of the called party, the called party needs only to modify the access
number configuration information and not to change the actual telephone number, thereby the
harassing calls are effectively prohibited and the normal work and life of the user are ensured.
According to embodiments of the present invention, the called party can divide the
calling parties into groups and allocate different access numbers to different groups, thereby can
control the quantity of the incoming calls flexibly. Also, the allowed period of the access number
call can be flexibly controlled by setting the scene status parameters of the called party.
Furthermore, according to embodiments of the present invention, the process that the
calling party requests for pre-call registration and the process that the calling party calls the
called party are two communication processes independent of each other, so that the calling party
can request for pre-call registration by flexible means, such as short message or Internet, and
obtain the right to call the called party.
To sum up, the method for processing telephone call according to one embodiment of the
present invention conveniently ensures the called party will not be annoyed and will not miss
important incoming calls when he does not want to be disturbed.

Detailed Description of the Embodiments
Hereinafter, the present invention will be further detailed with reference to the
accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments.
With reference to FIG.1, the method for processing telephone call according to one or
more embodiments of the present invention includes the following process:
The called party stores the access number configuration information corresponding to the
called number in an access number configuration equipment of the communication system;
The calling party requests for the pre-call registration in the communication system, the
communication system adds the corresponding pre-call registration record into the pre-call
registration list according to the access number configuration information which is set by the
called party;
The call connection process of the calling party: after the communication system receives
the call request from the calling party, the communication system checks and determines whether
the calling party has been registered in the pre-call registration list before it initiates the call to
the called party, if the calling party has been registered, initiates the call to the called party;
otherwise, refuses to initiate the call to the called party.
In order to ensure the telephone user not to be disturbed by too many calls and not to miss
some important calls, a simplified implementation of an embodiment of the present invention is
to set an access number for the called party, the access number can be a digital or a character
string, and the called party number and the corresponding access number are the basic access
number configuration information. When the called party uses an access number to allow a call


connection, the calling party can call the called party after the pre-call registration with the
access number of the called party. The called party can further set the access number
configuration information as follows: namely, different periods are set with corresponding access
numbers, so that when the called party subscribing the access number service is called within the
specific period which is set by the called party, the communication system requires the calling
party to input the access number information corresponding to the current time and creates a
record in the pre-call registration list, when the calling party calls the called party, the
communication system further connects the call from the calling party only after it confirms that
the calling party has been registered. Hereinafter, the detailed implementation process of the
present invention is described with reference to specific embodiments.
Embodiment 1:
The process of setting access number configuration information by the called party is
described. FIG.2 and FIG.3 show the flow chart of setting access number configuration
information according to the embodiment of the present invention.
In step 101, the called party sets a plurality of access numbers in the access number
configuration information and sets a name for each access number. The setting can base on the
type of the calling parties, and different access numbers can be allocated to different groups of
calling parties respectively. For example, the access number of family is 666668, the access
number of relatives and friends is 222223, the access number of colleagues is 345678. The called
party can also set a temporary access number for the calling party for temporary usage, such as
223566, in order that the called party can answer the incoming call in a specific period, and the
temporary access number can be deleted by the called party at any time.
In step 102, the called party sets one or more access numbers for each call period of
access number, i.e. allocates the access numbers which are set in step 101 to different periods, for
example, the access number of 666668 is set for the period of 00:00:00—07:00:00, two access
numbers of 666668 and 222223 are set for the period of 23:00:00—24:00:00, three access
numbers of 666668,222223 and 345678 are set for the period of 07:00:00—23:00:00. Similarly,
the called party can also set holiday access number configuration information corresponding to
holidays in order that the called party can answer the incoming call optionally. After step 102, the
correspondence list of access number configuration information as follows is formed.



Wherein, in list.2, the column of "access number" can also be "access number name". In
addition, the above two lists can also be integrated into one list, but it is not convenient for the
called party to maintain access number information. The access number configuration
information can also be implemented by the following list.

After the access number configuration information as shown in list.l and list.2 or list.3 is
created, in step 103, when the called party applies for subscribing the access number call service,
the access number configuration equipment in the communication system, such as the service

control point (SCP) of intelligent network, records the access number configuration information
of the called party.
It should be noted that, after the called party sets the access number configuration
information, the calling party needs to be informed of the corresponding access number in order
to input the correct access number according to the called party and the current call period of the
access number when being prompted to input the access number by the communication system.
In order that the called party can inform the corresponding calling party promptly and
conveniently after firstly setting or modifying the access number, the directory information of the
corresponding access number can be saved in the access number configuration information, as
shown in list.4.

After the user sets or modifies the access number, the access number configuration
equipment sends short message including the called number and the access number to the
corresponding calling number automatically. Of course, the called party also can send the access
number to the corresponding calling number by sending short message through the directory or
the short message system provided by the Internet.
The calling party requests for the pre-call registration in the communication system. The
communication system adds the corresponding pre-call registration record into the pre-call
registration list.
With reference to FIG.4, in step 201, when the switching system receives a call
connection request from the calling party, the switching system reads information of the called
party from the SCP, if the called party has subscribed the access number call service, performs
step 202; otherwise, directly connects the incoming call.
In step 202, when detecting that the calling party has not been registered in the pre-call
registration list, the SCP prompts the calling party to request for the pre-call registration through
playing voice prompt via an IP(Intelligent Peripheral); and at the same time, the SCP may send

short message to the calling party through the short message center, or prompt the calling party
to request for the pre-call registration by means of Unstructured Supplementary Service
Data(USSD). The format description of pre-call registration command is included in the short
message so that the calling party needs only to reply the short message without memorizing the
short message service number of the access number service;
In step 203, the calling party sends the calling number, the access number and the called
number by means of short message, and the short message center forwards the content of the
short message sent by the calling party to the SCP, if the SCP receives the short message
including the above contents from the calling party and these contents are same as the access
number configuration information which is set by the called party, the SCP performs step 205.
The SCP performs the pre-call registration for the calling party, adds the corresponding pre-call
registration record into the pre-call registration list and waits for the following call connection
process. If the calling party does not provide all the above information or the calling party
provides all the above information but at least one of the above information is not same as the
access number configuration information which is set by the called party, the SCP performs step
204. The SCP does not perform the pre-call registration for the calling party and at the same time
may prompt the calling party about the pre-call registration failure by means of short message.
For the called party whose access number configuration information includes the call
period of access number and the corresponding access number, in step 201, after the switching
system receives the call request from the calling party, the switching system reads the access
number configuration information in the SCP and determines whether the current call time
belongs to the call period of access number in the access number configuration information; if it
does, performs step 202; otherwise, the communication system returns the information of pre-
call registration request failure to the calling party. When performing the pre-call registration for
the calling party, the SCP can record the registration time and set the allowed call period, the
allowed call period can be preset by the system, such as 10 minutes or longer. The registration
also can be set to be allowed in that very day, and the corresponding pre-call registration record
is added into the pre-call registration list.




A second is a measure of the pre-call registration time. The allowed call period can be the
deadline before which the calling party can call after this registration. The format of the allowed
call period is the same as the pre-call registration time and also can be a duration value indicating
the time length, such as 5, and its unit is a minute. The pre-call registration list may also not
include the field of allowed call period, and the SCP directly determines whether the call time of
the calling party exceeds the allowed call period according to the pre-call registration time and
the allowed call period preset by the system, such as time length or allowed in that very day. If
the calling party calls the called party in the allowed call period, the process of call connection is
performed; otherwise, the connection will not be performed.
In an intelligent network, the telephone voice interaction, instead of the short message,
may be adopted to prompt the calling party to input the corresponding access number
information. When the calling party calls the called party, the switching system triggers the
intelligent service in the Service Control Point(SCP). The SCP controls the voice interaction
between the Intelligent Peripheral (IP) and the calling party, obtains the corresponding
information, such as the access number etc. inputted by the calling party, then, the SCP decides
whether to perform pre-call registration according to the information inputted by the calling
party, and can prompt the calling party whether the pre-call registration is successful or not by
means of telephone voice interaction.
In addition, for the calling party who knows the called party is a subscriber of the access
number service, the calling party can directly request for the pre-call registration before calling
the called party, such as directly send a short message which includes the called number and the
access number to the corresponding short message service number of the access number service
to request for the pre-call registration through the above step 203, and dials the called number
after successful registration. Besides through short messages, the pre-call registration can also be
performed through Internet. The called number and the access number inputted by the calling
party through a web page are submitted to a WEB application server, and the WEB application
server sends them to the SCP to perform the pre-call registration.

the call connection process for the calling party.
After the switching system receives the call request from the calling party, the switching
system triggers the intelligent service to the Service Control Point(SCP) according to the called
number. The SCP reads the pre-call registration record of the called party, and checks whether
the calling party has been registered in the pre-call registration list, if the calling party has been
registered, the SCP indicates the switching system to initiate the call to the called party,
otherwise, the SCP indicates the Intelligent Peripheral (IP) to play prompt voice of "can not
connect" or busy tone etc..
The above method is a relatively simple connection method. The following method
which is more complex can also be adopted: with reference to FIG.5, in step 301, after the
switching system receives the call request from the calling party, the switching system triggers
the intelligent service to the Service Control Point(SCP) according to the called number, and the
SCP reads the access number configuration information, such as the information about the access
number and the corresponding beginning time of the call and ending time of the call etc. which
are set by the called party, as shown in list.2 or list.3. Then step 303 is performed. The SCP
determines whether the current call time is within the call period corresponding to the access
number provided by the calling party. If the current call time is not within any call period in the
access number configuration information of the called party, step 307 is performed, i.e. the SCP
implements the function of not restricting the call within a certain period, for which the called
party sets no corresponding access number, by indicating the switch system to connect the call
request from the calling party. If the current call time is within the call period of access number
corresponding to the access number provided by the calling party, step 304 is performed.
In step 304, the SCP reads the information in the pre-call registration list. A format of the
pre-call registration list is shown in list.5. The SCP checks the record content of the pre-call
registration list. For example, when the calling party of number 13312xxxxxx calls the called
party of number 13212xxxxxx, the record information in the pre-call registration list read out by
the SCP is that between 01:01:01 Apr.21, 2005 and 01:06:01 Apr.21, 2005, the right for the call
from the calling party to the called party is "Call permitted", and the call to the called party who
subscribes the access number call service at other time is not permitted. If the allowed call period
set by the system is that very day, the SCP determines whether the current call date is the same as
the date in the above registration time according to the pre-call registration time recorded in the


pre-call registration list, such as 01:01:01 Apr.21, 2005, so that the calling party can perform
registration once and call the called party many times in that very day. If the current call date is
the same as that in the registration time, step 305 is performed for the call request from the
calling party; otherwise, the SCP performs step 308, refuses to initiate the call to the called party.
In the determining process, the SCP can prompt whether the calling party can initiate the call to
the called party by means of short messages or telephone voice interaction.
In step 305, after confirming that the calling party has been registered, the SCP also can
determine whether the calling party uses the super access number to perform registration,
namely, whether the field of right for call in the pre-call registration list is "super access number"
or not. If it is, step 307 is performed. The SCP connects the call request from the calling party
directly. Otherwise, step 306 is performed. In addition, the SCP can also directly check and
determine whether the calling party uses the super access number to perform registration after
step 301. If the calling party does, step 307 is performed, the SCP directly indicates the switching
system to connect the call request from the calling party.
In step 306, the SCP will inquire whether the called party wants to answer the incoming
call from the calling party by means of short messages or telephone voice interaction. If the
information returned from the called party is yes (such as, the called party informs the SCP by
means of short messages), step 307 is performed, the SCP indicates the switching system to
connect the call request from the calling party. If the called party returns the information showing
that he is unwilling to answer the call now, step 308 is performed, the SCP refuses to initiate the
call to the called party.
In the embodiment 1, the call connection process for the calling party also can be
performed in the manner shown in FIG.6. Whether the calling party has been registered in the
pre-call registration list is determined, namely, step 303'. Then whether the current call time is
within the call period of access number in the access number configuration information is
determined, namely, step 304'. Step 304' is optional. If it has been determined whether the
current call time is within the call period of access number in the access number configuration
information in the above step 201, step 304' is not needed here. After the communication system
performs step 301, the communication system performs step 303 directly, namely, the SCP reads
the record information in the pre-call registration list, and determines whether the calling party
has been registered in the pre-call registration list. If the calling party has been registered in the

pre-call registration list, step 304' is performed. If the calling party has not been registered in the
pre-call registration list, the SCP refuses to initiate the call to the called party. The SCP prompts
the calling party about the call connection failure, and then prompts the calling party to request
for the pre-call registration by means of short message or telephone voice interaction. In step
304', the SCP determines whether the current call time belongs to the call period corresponding
to the access number provided by the calling party in the access number configuration
information. If it does not, the SCP refuses to initiate the call to the called party; if it does, the
SCP performs the next step 305, thus continues to perform the following flow.
In the embodiment 1, the super access number can be set to be effective in any call
period of access number by the system, and the call period of access number need not be set
solely for the super access number. For example, the access number 666668 shown in the list.l
can be set as a super access number. A field is set in the access number configuration information
list to identify whether the access number is a super access number which is effective at any
time. In this case, the called party can tell families and relatives such as parents or children etc.
about the super access number, so that the called party can answer the call from the calling party
who uses the super access number in any circumstances, which is quite convenient for the called
party and the calling party who uses the super access number.
As we can see from the above embodiment, the called party can effectively reduce the
disturbance of calls by setting the access number configuration information, and avoid those calls
which connect with the called party by changing telephone number and evading call restriction
such as a harassing call, at the same time the called party will not miss the call from the relatives
and friends which he wants to answer. The process of setting access number by the called party is
also simple and convenient, therefore the present invention provides great convenience for the
user.
In order that the called party controls the call connection by using access number more
conveniently, in this embodiment, a scene status parameter of the called party can be provided to
set the corresponding operation status of the called party. Before the calling party calls the called
party, the scene status parameter of the called party is added into the access number
configuration information which is set by the called party.
After step 301, step 302 is added. The SCP determines the scene status parameter of the
called party. For example, if the scene status parameter is 0, that means the called party has


turned on the function of access number call, then step 303 is performed for the call request
directly; if the scene status parameter is 1, that means the called party only wants to answer those
especially emergent incoming call, such as the incoming call of the super access number, then
the SCP performs step 307 and connects the call directly; if the scene status parameter is 2, that
means the called party is in conference status or other status in which he does not want to answer
the incoming call, the SCP performs step 308 for the incoming call directly, namely, refuses to
initiate the call to the called party, at this moment, all the incoming calls will not be connected.
Embodiment 2
As above, the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiment of
subscribing the function of access number call in the intelligent network, those skilled in the art
should understand that the present invention can be applied to NGN and 3G communication
system.
Fig.7 is a block diagram of the system structure when the present invention is applied to
the NGN and 3G communication system based on IPv6.
In the NGN and 3G communication system, the task of the SCP in embodiment 1 is
accomplished by a dedicated access number configuration unit, for example, the access number
configuration unit can be provided in the dedicated server, or provided in a switch directly. The
called party stores the corresponding access number configuration information in the dedicated
server or the switch.
The calling party requests for the pre-call registration in the switch or the dedicated
server by means of Internet, WAP or short message etc.. The switch or the dedicated server adds
the corresponding pre-call registration record into the pre-call registration list. The pre-call
registration can record not only the calling number but also the calling IP address or the user
identifier.
When the calling party calls the called party, the switching system obtains the pre-call
registration record in the switch or the dedicated server by means of IP protocol, determines
whether the calling party has been registered in the pre-call registration list, and then performs or
terminates the following call connection process.
While the present invention has been illustrated and described with reference to some
preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to these. Those skilled in the art


should recognize that various variations and modifications can be made without departing from
the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the accompanying claims.
