Credit control system for long distance
telephone service
ABSTRACT
The amount
of credit available to a telephone travel card holder is
determined immediately at the completion of a long distance
call and the travel card is invalidated if no credit remains.
Capture software captures call ticket data at the completion
of a call and the ticket data is transmitted to a monitoring
computer without delay. The monitoring computer calculates
the amount of credit available to that caller and invalidates
the travel card if no credit remains by transmitting a signal
to all switching equipment stations throughout the telephone
system .

Telephone travel card system under the control of its
customers
ABSTRACT
A telephone system for
travel card users where the users may program a switch
processor so that it completes, re-routes, or refuses
to complete calls as predetermined by the customer. Data
is captured as it is transferred from the switching module
to an internal buffer and is fed through a digital communications
path and an analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converter
to a switching station computer. The switching station
computer is in communication with a data storage server
computer and the data storage server computer is in communication
with remote telephones and with computers and facsimile
machines in remote customers' offices. The switching station
computer is thus programmable by the customer and incoming
calls are handled as predetermined by the customer. A
voice response device provides verbal communication between
the system and its users. The system enables its users
to defeat or limit travel card fraud, to receive billing
information on a real time or other preselected basis,
and to gain miscellaneous business advantages from creative
control of the switch processor (
