Claims31
A method for exchanging information during a call in a voice communication system, comprising:
- a first communication device of the voice communication system establishing a communication connection with a second communication device;
- and
- the first communication device exchanging digital data with the second communication device and automatically turning off a microphone of the first communication device, to achieve a specific function in a specific interval;
- wherein the specific interval is an interval that the first communication device does not exchange voice signals with the second communication device;
- wherein the specific function is a communication fee calculating function that calculates communication fee during the call and an authentication function that verifies an identity of a caller of the second communication device in order to decide whether the call should be continued.
