The incoming call information notification execution management unit 14 of the communication terminal device 1 with the incoming call information notification function transmits the caller information from the incoming call information recognition storage unit 12 based on the incoming call information notification execution condition preset in the incoming call information management unit 13. Read out the telephone number (telephone number of TEL 24), arrival time information (incoming time t _a ), information in the user / user information element, and incoming call response presence / absence information,
These are converted into character codes to be incoming character information, and this incoming character information is inserted into the user / user information element in the SETUP message to generate a SETUP message.
Then, the incoming call information notification execution management unit 14 immediately transmits the designated incoming call information after the incoming call, and
The TUP message is transmitted to the TA 25 via the ISDN 30 (112, 113).

The TA 25 receives the transmitted SETUP message and holds the incoming character information in the user / user information element of the SETUP message. Furthermore, T
A25, communication terminal device 1 with incoming call notification function, and ISDN
30 and CALL PROC (1
14, 115), DISC (116, 117), REL
(118, 119), REL COMP (120, 12)
The process of 1) is performed, and the incoming call notification phase 190 is completed.

The PC 26 connected to the TA 25
By reading the incoming character information held in step 5, the P
C26 of the operator, it is possible to know the incoming information for the TEL21, namely that the caller's phone number and the time of arrival t _a and the user-to-user information element in the information and TEL21 did not the incoming call response at a remote location.

Next, as a second example, TEL 20 and TE
The operation of the communication terminal device with an incoming call notification function 1 when a call is made to the TEL 21 from L24 and the incoming times are t _b and t _c respectively will be described. The reception information notification execution condition set at this time is that the transmission destination telephone number of the reception information is the telephone number of the PC 26, the reception information transmission time is a fixed time every day, for example, 10:00 am, and the transmission designation reception information type is the sender. It is assumed that the incoming times t _b and t _c are within a predetermined incoming call count time range based on the telephone number, the incoming time information, and the incoming call number information.

In the incoming call information receiving phase 90 in FIG. 3, the communication terminal device 1 with the incoming call notification function
Each in the incoming SETUP message to the _b and t _c (1
01) to the respective caller telephone numbers, ie, TEL2
0 and the telephone numbers of TEL 24 and the information in the respective user / user information elements, and
The arrival times t _b and t _c at which the ETUP message arrived are used as arrival time information, and the number of incoming SETUP messages arriving within the arrival number counting time range is counted. The incoming call number information is stored in the incoming call information recognition storage unit 12.

In the incoming information notification phase 190 of FIG. 3, the incoming information notification execution management unit 14 of the communication terminal device 1 with the incoming information notification function is based on the incoming information notification execution condition preset in the incoming information management unit 13. caller's telephone number and incoming time information (arrival time t _b and t _c) and incoming number information to each of the user-user information element in the information (TEL 20 and 24 telephone number) from the incoming information recognition storage unit 12 Te (this In this case, two cases are read, and the incoming information is converted into a character code to be used as incoming character information, and this incoming character information is inserted into the user / user information element in the SETUP message to generate a SETUP message. Then, the incoming call information notification execution management unit 14 transmits this SETUP message to the TA 25 via the ISDN 30 at 10:00 am at a fixed time every day based on the incoming information notification execution conditions (11).
