Abstract: A IP telephony service allows customers to form user groups. Each user group can include multiple members, each of whom have their own telephony device. Each user group is assigned a unique group identifier, which can be a telephone number. As a result, a single telephony device belonging to a member of a user group can be associated with its own unique telephone number, and the telephone number of the user group. This also means that a member's telephony device could be associated with multiple different billing accounts. The system allows a user to select which of multiple different billing accounts that are associated with his telephony device are to be billed for outgoing communications.

Abstract translation: IP电话服务允许客户组建用户组。 每个用户组可以包括多个成员，每个成员具有它们自己的电话设备。 为每个用户组分配一个唯一的组标识符，它可以是一个电话号码。 结果，属于用户组成员的单个电话设备可以与其自己的唯一电话号码和用户组的电话号码相关联。 这也意味着成员的电话设备可以与多个不同的计费帐户相关联。 该系统允许用户选择与他的电话设备相关联的多个不同的计费帐户中的哪一个将被记账以用于传出通信。
