JP2000324260A - Network access system using call of radio telephone set as start for simplifying input of identifier - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable communication with a network only via a telephone number that is inputted from a radio telephone set by securing the interlock between the network and a public telephone network and causing previously the correspondence between the identifiers of both networks. SOLUTION: When communication is started with a network gateway 8, a network correspondence radio telephone set 1 accesses a public telephone network gateway 4 via a public telephone network 2. At the same time, a network/public telephone network interlock system 6 acquires a network identifier 7 from a public telephone network identifier 5 via an originator number notifying function 3. Then the system 6 performs a notification 10 of the identifier 7 to the telephone set 1 via the gateway 8. This notification 10 uses a network 9. The telephone set 1 starts the communication with the gateway 8 by the notified identifier 7. Thus, the telephone set 1 can access the network with only the entering of a telephone number and simplifies the input of identifiers in the network communication.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention comprises a radio telephone having a network communication function, a public telephone network and a network as communication means, and a network / public telephone network interlocking system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, wireless telephones have been communication devices intended only for communication using the public telephone network, but wireless telephones compatible with networks have appeared. When using a network with a network-compatible wireless telephone, make the numeric input device of the wireless telephone correspond to the alphabet,
A communication destination is specified by inputting a conventional network identifier.

[0003]

A wireless telephone has an interface suitable for inputting a telephone number which is an identifier in a public telephone network. On the other hand, the interface of the wireless telephone is not suitable for inputting the identifier of the network. Therefore, when a network-compatible wireless telephone is used, there is a need for a system capable of performing communication with an identifier suitable for the interface of the wireless telephone, regardless of the type of communication medium.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a network and a public telephone network are linked to each other, and respective identifiers are associated with each other in advance so that communication to the network can be started by communication using the public telephone network. To achieve.
As a result, communication to the network can be performed only by inputting a telephone number from the wireless telephone, and it is not necessary to input a network identifier.

[0005] Definitions of terms used in the description of the present invention are described below. (1) A wireless telephone is a mobile phone, a PHS (Personal)
nal Handy-Phone System), a car phone, and a satellite communication mobile phone. (2) A communication medium is a communication path used by a communication device to communicate with another device, such as a network, a packet-type information communication network, or a public telephone network. (3) Network refers to the Internet, LAN (L
ocal Area Network), WAN (Wi
de Area Network), GAN (Glob)
al Area Network). (4) The public telephone network identifier is a telephone number. (5) The network identifier is a URL (Uniform).
m Resource Locator), a character string such as an e-mail address that specifies a communication partner on the network. (6) A web site is a group of computer terminals for providing information on a network.

[0006] As shown in FIG. 1, when starting communication with the network gateway 8, the network-compatible wireless telephone 1 accesses the public telephone network gateway 4 using the public telephone network 2. At this time, caller ID notification function 3
, The network / public telephone network interlocking system 6 acquires the network identifier 7 from the public telephone network identifier 5. The network / public telephone network interlocking system 6 notifies the network compatible wireless telephone 1 of the network identifier 10 through the network gateway 8. This network identifier notification 10 is performed using the network 9. The network-compatible wireless telephone 1 uses the network gateway 8 based on the notified network identifier.
Start communication to.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment using the present invention will be described below. (1) Only the telephone number is notified when the identifier of the Web site is notified. When the user makes a call to the telephone number announced by the network-compatible wireless telephone, the network / public telephone network interlocking system acquires the user's e-mail address based on the caller ID notification function. Then, an e-mail describing the URL of the Web site is transmitted to the e-mail address of the user. The user accesses the Web site based on the URL written in the e-mail.

As explained above, according to the present invention,
With a network compatible wireless telephone, it is possible to access the network only by inputting the telephone number,
Entry of an identifier in network communication using a wireless telephone is simplified.
