METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING GUARDIAN SERVICE BY USING CALLER ID
First Claim
1. A system for providing a guardian service by using a caller ID (CID), the system comprising:
- one or more call-terminating terminals;
one or more call-originating terminals for acquiring a connection authority regarding said one or more call-terminating terminals, and establishing a communication connection with a selected call-terminating terminal based on the acquired connection authority when a user makes a request for a guardian service with the selected call-terminating terminal; and
an authority server for authenticating the call-originating terminal and providing a connection authority to the authenticated call-originating terminal, upon receiving a request for a connection authority from the call-originating terminal,wherein the call-terminating terminal commands the speaker to turn off when the call-originating terminal makes a request for a guardian service and performs communication after determining if a connection of the call-originating terminal is permitted.

Abstract
Disclosed are a method and a system for providing a service, by which a guardian can recognize the current state of a ward. To this end, the guardian must acquire a connection authority prior to recognizing the state of the ward. The acquisition of the connection authority is performed under the control of the server performing the authorization process. When a terminal of the guardian having the acquired connection authority tries to establish a remote connection, a terminal of a ward permits the connection after determining if the terminal having the right connection authority tries to establish a connection. When the connection is permitted, only a microphone is turned on, so that the terminal of the ward can transfer surrounding sounds to a terminal of the guardian. Therefore, the guardian can hear surrounding sounds, thereby recognizing the current sate of the ward, where the ward is and what the ward is doing.
