Reference numeral 15 denotes a transmission / reception control unit, which controls a transmission / reception frequency by receiving a control signal from the base station, transmits an ID code, and receives the area code.

 16 is a dial device, and 17 is a handset.

20 is a call detecting means for receiving a dial call signal and a line connection signal to detect the start and end of an outgoing call, 21
Is an area storage means for storing the received area code, and 22 is a dial number storage means for storing a dial code, such as a destination number, from the dial signal.

Reference numeral 23 denotes time data storage means for storing, for all wireless areas, talk time data per call (predetermined fee) when a line is connected from a certain wireless area to each station number area. It outputs a code, a dial code, and time data determined by date and time and day data from the time circuit 24 for time discount and day discount.

The clock circuit 24 outputs date and time data, day of the week data, and a clock signal of a predetermined frequency (for example, 10 Hz).

Reference numeral 25 denotes a frequency at which the clock signal is counted while the call detection signal indicates the call state, and a frequency signal is output one by one every time the count value of the clock signal exceeds the time data from the time data storage means 23. This is a signal output signal, and counts up to the time data of the clock signal each time one frequency signal is output.

26 and 27 are first and second frequency integrating means for integrating frequency signals.

When the outgoing call ends, the area code, the dial code, the date and time data (from the start of the call to the end of the call) and the count value of the call (data from the second count integration means 27) are combined into one usage data. This is a usage data storage means for storing as.

Reference numeral 29 denotes display means for displaying a dial signal and an integrated frequency value on the display 30.

Reset means for outputting a signal.

 Next, the operation of the mobile phone will be described.

It is assumed that the integrated values of the first and second frequency integrating means 26 and 27 are both "0" in advance, and that the usage data is not stored in the usage data storage means 28. It is assumed that the area code of the currently existing area is stored.

Here, when the user operates the dial device 16 to transmit the telephone number of the other party, this dial signal is transmitted as a radio signal by the transmission circuit 13 together with the ID code from the antenna 11 to the base station, and the dial code is transmitted. Is stored in the dial number storage means 22.

The base station receives this signal and sends it to the exchange together with the area code to call the other party.

When the other party answers, the call line is connected, and a call between the user and the other party is made by the handset 17.

The connection of the line is detected by the call detecting means 20, and counting of the clock signal by the frequency signal output means 25 which has received the time data determined by the area code, the dial code and the date and time data starts.

Since the frequency signal output means 25 is configured to always output one frequency signal when the line is connected,
The integrated values of the first and second frequency integrating means 26 and 27 are both "1".
Becomes

During a call, one frequency signal is output and integrated each time a clock signal is input for time data.

During a call, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the telephone number of the other party and the integrated frequency ("53") are displayed on the display 30.

When the call is terminated and the line is disconnected, the integrated value of the second frequency integrating means 27 is stored in the usage data storing means 28 together with the date and time data, the area code, and the dial code.

Thereafter, each time an outgoing call is made, the same operation as described above is performed, and the data as shown in FIG.

When the user returns this mobile phone to the owner (rental agent), the key is operated by the owner, a printer device or the like is connected to the data output means 33, and the management code for data output is dialed. Then, the usage data as shown in FIG. 3 is printed, and the user is confirmed for collecting the fee.

If the user does not request this statement when paying the fee, the fee will be collected by confirming only the frequency displayed on the display 30.

When the mobile phone is lent to the next user after the fee is collected in this way, a predetermined management code is input from the dial device 16 and the second frequency integrating means 27 and the usage data storage means 28 are stored. If the contents are reset, the call charge being lent by the next user can be accurately known at the time of return.

If the telephone company calls for a call charge for this mobile phone during a predetermined period (for example, one month), the integrated frequency of the first frequency integrating means 26 is displayed on the display means 29.
If the data is displayed or the usage data is stored in a personal computer or the like and the number of times is counted during the period, it is possible to easily collate with the billing amount from the telephone company.

In the above-described embodiment, the fee is collected in accordance with the frequency obtained by accumulating the usage frequency. However, a rental fee for a predetermined frequency is collected in advance, and the telephone cannot be used if a call for the predetermined frequency is made. It is also possible.

In this case, for example, a frequency subtraction means for storing the frequency of 100 as an initial storage value is provided, the frequency is subtracted each time a frequency signal is received, the remaining frequency is displayed, and when the remaining frequency runs out, the call function (outgoing function) is activated. What is necessary is just to make it stop.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, a case has been described in which a rental fee is collected based on the number of usages in an outgoing call. However, for an incoming call, for example, a charge (frequency) per predetermined time is set in advance, and The call frequency may be accumulated during the lending period, and the lending fee may be collected based on the outgoing call use frequency and the incoming call use frequency.

<Effects of the present invention> As described above, in the rental mobile phone according to the first aspect of the present invention, the rental company inputs a predetermined management code, and the details of the usage data during the rental period of the mobile phone are provided. Output, so you can check the rental fee,
The settlement can be performed reliably, and the complicated fee collection unique to the moving rental mobile phone can be solved. In particular, the difference in the location of the mobile phone transmitting the radio wave and the call time zone, the call destination, the charge calculation caused by the difference in the call time can be accurately calculated based on the data,
It has become possible to provide a mobile phone for rental that enables users to pay a fee to be satisfied.

Further, in the rental mobile phone according to the second aspect, a person other than the owner cannot operate the usage fee by operating illegally.
