METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REWARDING A CALLER IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The method and system concern telecommunications and can be used by all subscribers and users of digital, mobile, satellite, computer, network and internet devices connectable through digital voice communication systems. A connection is established between a digital voice communication device (2) of a calling user and a digital voice communication device (3) of a called user via at least one digital voice communication system (1) for the purpose of ringing/calling the called user's device (3). According to the method, the calling user selects, using the digital voice communication device (2) and via a directory module (5), a certain name of a called user featured in the directory module (5). Once a connection has been established with the digital voice communication device (3) of the called user, a protection module (8) instructs a payment module (4) to perform reward actions and the calling user receives a reward for the call via the payment module (4). The communication system includes a payment module (4) that has the capability to perform actions to reward the calling user for the conducted conversation and a protection module (8) that has the capability to instruct the payment module (4) whether reward actions should be performed. The payment module (4) and protection module (8) constitute a computer running software or are part of a server or data storage device running or used by software, as well as part of a data storage device or integrated circuit (microchip) running or used by software, as well as part of an integrated circuit.
