Abstract

L'appareil téléphonique, par exemple un combiné téléphonique (10) comprend un processeur (30) pour contrôler les appels sortants ou entrants. Le processeur (30) réagit à l'actionnement du clavier (12) lors d'un appel et à une horloge (32) fonctionnant en temps réel. Un dispositif d'affichage (11) affiche l'heure et/ou le numéro appelé. Une carte à circuits intégrés pour un dispositif de lecture/écriture (17) ayant un connecteur (46) adéquat est introduite dans le combiné téléphonique pour coupler le connecteur (46) avec le processeur (30). Le processeur (30) permet de faire des appels à toutes des destinations ou des appels à longue distance, uniquement quand une carte à circuits intégrés (16) correctement programmée est en place dans le dispositif lecture/écriture (17). La carte à circuits intégrés porte des données identifiant l'utilisateur et des informations concernant les appels faits sont enregistrées sur la carte (16). Ainsi, la carte (16) peut contenir la liste de tous les appels téléphoniques faits par l'utilisateur pendant une période déterminée.
