hívófél

A hívófél is a Hungarian term that translates to "caller" or "called party" in English. It is most commonly used in the context of telecommunications to distinguish between the two individuals involved in a phone call. One person initiates the call, and this person is referred to as the "hívó" (caller). The other person receives the call, and they are the "hívófél" (called party).

The distinction between hívó and hívófél is important for understanding call routing, billing, and network management. For instance, in some billing systems, the cost of a call might be attributed differently depending on whether one is the caller or the called party. In emergency services, identifying the hívófél is crucial for dispatching help to the correct location.

While primarily associated with phone calls, the concept of hívófél can be extended to other communication systems where one party initiates a connection and another receives it. This might include certain internet-based communication platforms or even broader communication protocols. The term emphasizes the role each participant plays in establishing and completing a communication link. The hívófél's primary action is to answer or receive the communication attempt made by the hívó.
