Abstract
Abstract A communication method for providing information in an intelligent network includes a step of entering by a user a connection number of the user terminal, a connection number of an information provider terminal and a time to receive the information providing service into a user database provided in a transmission layer, a step of reading the data registered in the user database into a service control database provided in the intelligent layer, a step of referring to the service control database to automatically connect the user terminal and the information provider terminal when a service start time is reached and automatically disconnect the connection therebetween when a service end time is reached.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
187 words
A communication method for providing information in an intelligent network including a transmission layer having a user terminal and a switching system and an intelligent layer issuing a connection command of a line to said transmission layer, said communication method comprising the steps of: registering into at least one database an identification number of the user terminal, an identification number of an equipment for performing an information providing service, and a time to receive the information providing service input, by a user of said user terminal, said at least one database is included in said transmission layer or said intelligent layer, collating a current time with said time to receive the information providing service registered in said at least one database by a timer circuit provided in said transmission layer or said intelligent layer where said at least one database is located; and automatically controlling a connection between said user terminal and said equipment for performing the information providing service when said current time corresponds to said time to receive said information providing service registered in said at least one database as indicated by said collating step.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
187 words
A communication method for providing information in an intelligent network including a transmission layer having a user terminal and a switching system and an intelligent layer issuing a connection command of a line to said transmission layer, said communication method comprising the steps of: registering into at least one database an identification number of the user terminal, an identification number of an equipment for performing an information providing service, and a time to receive the information providing service input, by a user of said user terminal, said at least one database is included in said transmission layer or said intelligent layer, collating a current time with said time to receive the information providing service registered in said at least one database by a timer circuit provided in said transmission layer or said intelligent layer where said at least one database is located; and automatically controlling a connection between said user terminal and said equipment for performing the information providing service when said current time corresponds to said time to receive said information providing service registered in said at least one database as indicated by said collating step.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
200 words
A communication system for providing information in an intelligent network including a transmission layer having a user terminal and a switching system and an intelligent layer issuing a connection command of a line to said transmission layer, said communication system comprising: a first controller for registering at least one database into at least one database an identification number of the user terminal, an identification number of an equipment for performing an information providing service, and a time to receive the information providing service input, by a user of said user terminal, said at least one database is included in said transmission layer or said intelligent layer, a second controller for collating a current time with said time to receive the information providing service registered in said at least one database by a timer circuit provided in said transmission layer or said intelligent layer where said at least one database is located; and a third controller for automatically controlling a connection between said user terminal and said equipment for performing the information providing service when said current time corresponds to said time to receive said information providing service registered in said at least one database as indicated by said second controller.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
200 words
A communication system for providing information in an intelligent network including a transmission layer having a user terminal and a switching system and an intelligent layer issuing a connection command of a line to said transmission layer, said communication system comprising: a first controller for registering at least one database into at least one database an identification number of the user terminal, an identification number of an equipment for performing an information providing service, and a time to receive the information providing service input, by a user of said user terminal, said at least one database is included in said transmission layer or said intelligent layer, a second controller for collating a current time with said time to receive the information providing service registered in said at least one database by a timer circuit provided in said transmission layer or said intelligent layer where said at least one database is located; and a third controller for automatically controlling a connection between said user terminal and said equipment for performing the information providing service when said current time corresponds to said time to receive said information providing service registered in said at least one database as indicated by said second controller.
