Abstract
First information and second information is stored in the communication system for a callback after a first communication terminal attempts a call to a second communication terminal in which the connection is not established. The first information allows the second communication terminal to display the attempted call so that a callback to the first communication terminal can be executed on the part of the second communication terminal. The second information includes a charge type for the callback correlating at least to the attempted call.
Claims20
A method for providing a communication in a communication system comprising:
- inputting a charge type for a callback communication from a second terminal to a first terminal at the first terminal, the charge type comprising cost acceptance information of a cost for the callback communication that is to be accepted by the first terminal if the callback communication from the second terminal is completed at the first terminal;
- inputting an attribute indicating acceptance of the cost of the callback communication from the second terminal at the first terminal;
- the first terminal initiating a first communication to the second terminal, the first communication not being completed at the second terminal;
- storing first information about the first communication, the first information indicating the first communication from the first terminal not being completed at the second terminal;
- a first switching facility determining second information for the second terminal, the second information comprising the charge type and information based on the inputted attribute accepting the cost of the callback from the second terminal;
- the first switching facility transmitting the second information to a second switching facility;
- the second switching facility assigning the second information to the first terminal and storing the second information;
- the second terminal receiving the second information and the first information and displaying the first information and the second information at the second terminal;
- the second terminal initiating the callback communication to the first terminal;
- and
- the second switching facility determining whether the cost for the callback communication has been accepted by the second terminal or the first terminal based on the second information.

An arrangement for providing a communication in a communication system, comprising:
- a first switching facility;
- a first communication terminal connected to the first switching facility;
- a second switching facility communicatively connected to the first switching facility via a network;
- and
- a second communication terminal;
- and
- the first communication terminal receiving a charge type for a callback communication that is to come from the second communication terminal, the charge type comprising cost acceptance information for a cost of the callback communication from the second communication terminal that is to be accepted by the first communication terminal if the callback communication from the second communication terminal is completed at the first communication terminal;
- the first communication terminal receiving an attribute indicating acceptance of the cost of the callback communication from the second communication terminal at the first communication terminal;
- the first communication terminal initiating a first communication to the second communication terminal, the first communication not being completed at the second communication terminal;
- the second switching facility storing first information about the first communication, the first information indicating the first communication from the first communication terminal not being completed at the second communication terminal;
- the first switching facility determining second information for the second communication terminal, the second information comprising the charge type and information based on the inputted attribute accepting the cost of the callback communication from the second communication terminal;
- the first switching facility transmitting the second information to the second switching facility;
- the second switching facility assigning the second information to an identifier of the first communication terminal and storing the assigned second information;
- the second communication terminal receiving the second information and the first information and displaying the first information and the second information at the second communication terminal;
- the second terminal initiating the callback communication to the first terminal;
- and
- the second switching facility determining whether the cost for the callback communication has been accepted by the second communication terminal or the first communication terminal based on the assigned second information.
