It is possible to prevent communication with suspicious persons, etc. in advance.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail according to embodiments.

  First, the outline of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the present invention, when the user makes a call with the other party, as shown in (1) of FIG. 1, the user can call the other party's telephone number (the called party's telephone number) from the terminal device (such as a mobile phone or a fixed telephone). ) To the communication processing device of the telephone company.

  In response to this, the communication processing device of the telephone company, as shown in (2) of FIG. 1, before connecting the line between the terminal device of the user and the terminal device of the other party (such as a mobile phone or a fixed phone). In addition, the caller telephone number of the user and the callee telephone number of the other party are notified to a payer's terminal device (such as a mobile phone or a fixed phone) that pays the call charge.

  In response to this, the caller confirms the caller telephone number and the callee telephone number notified by the user on the terminal device, and determines whether the call is permitted or not. Then, as shown in (3) of FIG. 1, the determination result is returned to the communication processing device of the telephone company.

  In response to this, when the communication processing device of the telephone company receives the information indicating that the call is permitted, as shown in (4) of FIG. 1, a call between the user terminal device and the call partner terminal device is made. Make line connections as possible. On the other hand, when receiving information indicating that the call is not permitted, the line connection between the user terminal device and the call partner terminal device is not performed, as shown in FIG. That person's terminal device.

  Therefore, even if a user makes a phone call with the other party's terminal device (caller's phone number) from his / her mobile phone or other terminal device to make a call with someone, Since the telephone number is notified to the payer and the payer's permission cannot be obtained, it is impossible to make a call with the other party, so that the payer prevents the user from calling the unknown suspicious person in advance. It becomes possible. Further, if the user can obtain the permission of the payer, the user can freely talk with the other party without any other restrictions.

  However, if this is the case, the user will need to obtain the permission of the payer one by one even when trying to talk to the other party, such as his / her brother, who frequently calls, and this impairs the convenience of the user. In addition, it is troublesome for the payer to give permission to each call between such a known secure call partner and the user.

  Therefore, the payer registers in advance the telephone number of the other party with whom the user can talk freely, in the communication processing device, and the user sends the telephone number of the other party's terminal device (the telephone number of the called party). Then, the communication processing device compares the callee telephone number with the previously registered "phone number of the other party that the user can call freely" and if the callee telephone number is registered in advance, If it matches one of the phone numbers of the other party that the user can call freely, connect the line between the user and the other party's terminal device without obtaining the payer's permission. If they do not match, the processes (2) and (3) shown in FIG. 1 are performed, and if the payer's permission is obtained, the line between the user and the other party's terminal device is connected. Do not connect the line.

  In this way, the user can freely make a call with a known secure caller who has registered a phone number in advance without obtaining the payer's permission. Since it is only necessary to obtain the permission of the payer only when trying to make a call with the other party, the payer does not impair the user's convenience more than necessary, and the payer can connect with an unknown suspicious call partner. It becomes possible to prevent a telephone call.
