Description

The present invention relates to a communication device that can communicate via a public switched telephone network, and more particularly to a communication device that collects usage history information of a communication device.
About.

  In recent years, telephones (communication devices) have been developed that automatically reject incoming calls for unwanted calls for solicitation and mischief. However, since telephone numbers (nuisance numbers) used for nuisance calls are increasing and changing every day, it is difficult to register all the nuisance numbers in the telephone in advance. Therefore, Patent Document 1 describes a telephone that obtains the latest nuisance number list at a predetermined timing from a management server that manages the nuisance number list in which the nuisance numbers are described.

  The management server receives usage history information (referred to as incoming call history information) when the telephone is used for receiving incoming calls from a number of telephones via a communication network. The incoming call history information includes information on the telephone number of the caller and information that incoming calls from the telephone number have been rejected or permitted in the past. The management server refers to the incoming call history information and describes the telephone number rejected by the telephone in the nuisance number list. The management server creates and updates the nuisance number list using incoming call history information received daily from a large number of telephones in addition to the black list information provided by the police. For example, the management server refers to incoming call history information received from a plurality of telephones, and describes in the nuisance number list incoming numbers that are rejected by a predetermined number of telephones or more. In addition, the incoming call number permitted to be received by a certain number of telephones or more is deleted from the nuisance number list. Therefore, the telephone can always obtain the latest nuisance number list from the management server.

  In general, there is a demand for a third party (for example, a user's family) who is far away from the user to know information about when and how often the user is calling. In response to such a request, the incoming call history information managed by the server is useful. This is because a third party can know information such as whether the user has received a nuisance call by accessing a server that manages incoming call history information and confirming the incoming call history information of the telephone.

JP 2014-7550 A (released on January 16, 2014)

  However, the nuisance number list of Patent Document 1 is not created based on information related to transmission. For example, information related to outgoing calls includes the telephone number of the outgoing call destination. When a user voluntarily calls a certain phone number using a telephone, it is highly likely that the destination phone number is not a nuisance phone number. However, the information on the telephone number of the destination is not used for creating the nuisance number list. Therefore, there is a possibility that a telephone number that is not a nuisance number is erroneously registered in the nuisance number list.

  In addition, a third party far from the user can acquire incoming call history information from the server, but cannot acquire information related to outgoing calls. Therefore, the third party cannot acquire important information such as whether or not the user is not calling the nuisance number.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide information related to transmission of a communication device to a server.

  In order to solve the above problem, a communication device according to an aspect of the present invention is a communication device capable of communicating via a public switched telephone network, and when the communication device performs a calling operation, the calling operation is performed. Usage information acquisition unit that acquires information related to information or information related to transmission by the transmission operation, and usage information transmission that transmits the information acquired by the usage information acquisition unit to a server that records transmission history information of the communication device And a section.

  According to one embodiment of the present invention, information related to transmission of a communication device can be provided to a server.

Embodiment 1
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

(Communication device 1)
The configuration of the communication device 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the communication device 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the communication device 1 includes a communication module 10 and a communication management module 20. The communication device 1 may be a telephone, a facsimile, or a personal computer, for example.

  In the communication apparatus 1, the communication module 10 and the communication management module 20 are configured to be able to communicate using, for example, a UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) module. As shown in FIG. 1, the communication management module 20 may be mounted on the communication device 1 on which the communication module 10 is mounted, or may be separate from the communication device 1 (Embodiment 2). .

  The communication device 1 is connected to other communication devices via a public switched telephone network (PSTN). Further, the communication device 1 shares the nuisance number list L2 managed by the server 100 connected to the PSTN with other communication devices. The communication device 1 and the server 100 constitute a communication system (see FIG. 2) according to the present invention.

  The server 100 manages a database in which the call history information L1 (see FIG. 3) and the nuisance number list L2 are recorded. Note that the server that manages the outgoing call history information L1 and the server that manages the nuisance number list L2 may be different.

  The connection between the communication device 1 and the PSTN and the server 100 may be, for example, a single line connection that connects the communication device 1 and the server 100 via the PSTN, or the communication device 1 and the PSTN are connected. A connection by a plurality of lines using a line and a line connecting the communication apparatus 1 and the server 100 may be used. The connection between the communication apparatus 1 and the server 100 not via the PSTN is via another device connected to the communication apparatus 1 by, for example, a wired LAN, a wireless LAN, Bluetooth (registered trademark), WiFi (registered trademark), or the like. This can be done by connecting to the server 100. For example, the communication device 1 may be provided with a WiFi (registered trademark) communication circuit and connected to the server 100 via a WiFi router.

  The transmission history information L1 is information on the transmission history of the communication module 10. The nuisance number list L2 is a list of telephone numbers estimated to be used for the purpose of nuisance calls. For example, the server 100 uses the nuisance number list to register telephone numbers registered in the rejection number list of the telephone directory 12 of the communication modules 10 of a certain ratio or more among the plurality of communication modules 10 connected via the PSTN. It may be described in L2.

(Communications system)
An example of a communication system will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, in the communication system, the communication device 1 is communicably connected to the server 100 via the PSTN. The communication device 1 sends to the server 100 various information associated with each communication device 1 such as usage history information (including information related to transmission operation or transmission by the transmission operation) indicating usage history of each telephone set by the user. Send. Furthermore, the communication device 1 may transmit the nuisance call information indicating the telephone number (nuisance number) determined by the user to be used for the purpose of the nuisance call to the server 100 through the PSTN. The PSTN is also connected to communication devices 1a to 1c used by other users who subscribe to the service. Similar to the communication device 1, the communication devices 1 a to 1 c transmit usage history information and (if necessary) nuisance call information to the server 100.

  A personal computer (PC) 2 is communicably connected to the server 100 via the Internet network 5. Note that the PC 2 may be a mobile phone (smart phone), a tablet, or the like as long as it is a communication terminal that can be connected to the Internet network 5.

  The server 100 manages various types of information received from the communication devices 1, 1a to 1c, and uses them for various purposes. For example, the server 100 provides the usage history information received from the communication device 1 to a third party (for example, the user's family) who is associated with the user of the communication device 1. A third party (for example, a user's family) can check the use history information of the communication device 1 or the like by accessing the server 100 using the PC 2. Here, the use history information includes transmission history information L1 (including information related to transmission operation or transmission by the transmission operation).

  Further, the server 100 uses the various information received from the communication devices 1, 1 a to 1 c (including outgoing call history information), the black list (nuisance number list) provided by the police, etc. Is created, and the created information is provided to the communication devices 1, 1a to 1c or the PC 2 as necessary.

  Specifically, the server 100 transmits the data of the nuisance number list L2 to the communication devices 1, 1a to 1c. The communication devices 1, 1a to 1c download the data of the nuisance number list L2 from the server 100, and update the rejection number list of the own device. For example, the communication devices 1, 1a to 1c access the server 100 every predetermined period (for example, once a day), acquire data for updating to the latest version of the nuisance number list L2, and the own device The rejection number list to be managed may be updated. As a result, the communication devices 1, 1 a to 1 c can refer to the latest rejected telephone list and reject incoming calls of unwanted calls.

  In addition, the server 100 updates the data of the nuisance number list L2 (initially all the data of the nuisance number list L2, after that, for example, when there is an access from the communication devices 1, 1a to 1c) every predetermined period. Only the data for updating to the version troublesome number list L2) is transmitted to the communication devices 1, 1a to 1c. Accordingly, the server 100 can provide the latest nuisance number list to the communication devices 1 and 1a to 1c of all users who subscribe to the nuisance call rejection service. Note that the first nuisance number list registered in the server 100 may be generated based on nuisance call information provided by the police, a trader, or the like.

  Further, when providing the nuisance call information to the PC 2, the server 100 transmits the nuisance call information to the registered transmission destination mail address. Thereby, the troublesome telephone information can be shared among users who subscribe to the service.

  In addition, the usage method of the various information (including the transmission history information L1 and the nuisance number list L2) by the server 100 is not limited to the above-described example.

(Communication module 10)
As shown in FIG. 1, the communication module 10 includes an operation unit 11, a telephone directory 12, a usage information notification unit 13, and a permission / rejection determination unit 14. The communication module 10 can make a call to another communication module or receive an incoming call from another communication module via the PSTN.

  The operation unit 11 accepts an operation for making a call from the communication module 10, an operation for permitting or rejecting an incoming call to the communication module 10, an operation for adding or deleting a telephone number in the telephone directory 12, and the like.

  In the telephone book 12, a permission number list and a rejection number list are recorded. The permitted number list includes telephone numbers that the user has permitted (or has not rejected) incoming calls, and telephone numbers that are the destinations of calls that are originated from the communication module 10. The reject number list includes telephone numbers that the user rejects incoming calls. Therefore, it is considered that the telephone number described in the rejected number list is likely to be the telephone number of the sender of the nuisance call for the purpose of persistent solicitation or mischief.

  When the communication module 10 is used, the usage information notification unit 13 creates usage information regarding the content of the usage, and transmits the created usage information to the usage information acquisition unit 21 of the communication management module 20. Here, “use” includes a case where the user makes a call using the communication module 10, makes a call operation (for example, picks up a handset), receives an incoming call, and is new to the phone book 12. Adding a telephone number and deleting a telephone number from the telephone directory 12 are also included. The “usage information” includes, for example, the other party's telephone number, event type (outgoing, incoming call, telephone book 12 update, etc.), call time, incoming call date, and registration date (phone numbers related to the event). Date and time registered in

  Note that the usage information of the communication device 1 may include only the usage information when the user uses the communication device 1 voluntarily. For example, the usage information when the communication apparatus 1 automatically transmits may be excluded from the usage information transmitted by the usage information notification unit 13. In this configuration, the usage information when the communication device 1 transmits the call history information L1 for uploading to the server 100 is excluded from the use information of the communication device 1. Further, the usage information when the communication device 1 transmits the nuisance number list L2 for downloading from the server 100 is also excluded from the usage information of the communication device 1.

  When the communication module 10 receives an incoming call, the permission / refusal determination unit 14 determines whether the incoming call is acceptable. A specific determination method will be described later.

  Note that the communication module 10 may update the rejection number list of the telephone directory 12 using the nuisance number list L2 downloaded from the server 100 by the communication management module 20. For example, among the telephone numbers described in the nuisance number list L2, telephone numbers that are not described in both the rejection number list and the permission number list of the telephone directory 12 may be added to the rejection number list.

(Communication management module 20)
The communication management module 20 includes a use information acquisition unit 21, a transmission history information creation unit 22 (use information transmission unit), and a nuisance number determination unit 23. The usage information acquisition unit 21 outputs the usage information acquired from the usage information notification unit 13 of the communication module 10 to the transmission history information creation unit 22.

  The transmission history information creation unit 22 creates the transmission history information L1 (see FIG. 3) using the usage information when the communication module 10 performs a transmission operation among the usage information, and uses the created transmission history information L1 as the server 100. Send to. Here, the transmission history information L1 is information indicating a usage history when the communication module 10 performs a transmission operation among usage histories within a predetermined period (or up to the present).

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the transmission history information L1. As shown in FIG. 3, “call history information” includes, for example, the telephone number of the callee, the number of calls, the call time at the time of call, the call date / time, and the registration date / time (the phone number of the other party (ie, callee) Each list of dates and times registered in the book may be included.

  Note that the call origination operation may be an operation in which the communication apparatus 1 connects to the PSTN (or a dial-out operation), or an operation in which the handset is off-hooked. Alternatively, the call origination operation may be that an off-hook key or a speakerphone key is pressed, or that a touch panel is touched. The handset, off-hook key, speakerphone key, and touch panel are all included in the operation unit 11. In particular, when the communication device 1 cannot count the number of dial-outs, the number of off-hooks of the handset provided in the communication device 1 may be included in the transmission history information L1 as the number of outgoing calls. Further, even when the communication device 1 is connected to another communication device 1 via the Internet line network 5, the number of off-hooks may be included in the call history information L1 as the number of calls.

  The server 100 records the transmission history information L1 received from the transmission history information creation unit 22 in a database managed by the server 100. Further, the server 100 uses the outgoing call history information L1 received from the communication management module 20 to describe a nuisance number list in which telephone numbers (hereinafter referred to as nuisance numbers) presumed to be nuisance callers are described. Create L2.

  The nuisance number determination unit 23 acquires the nuisance number list L <b> 2 from the server 100. Further, when the communication module 10 receives an incoming call, the nuisance number determination unit 23 acquires the incoming number (caller's telephone number) from the permission / refusal determination unit 14 of the communication module 10, and the incoming number is included in the nuisance number list. It is determined whether it is described in L2. Then, the nuisance number determination unit 23 transmits the determination result to the permission / rejection determination unit 14.

(Operation 1 of the communication device 1; determination of acceptance / rejection of incoming call)
The operation of the communication device 1 will be described with reference to FIG. Specifically, an operation flow of the communication device 1 when the communication module 10 receives an incoming call and determines whether the incoming call is permitted or not will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of each operation of the communication module 10 and the communication management module 20 in the above case.

  As shown in FIG. 4, first, the communication module 10 receives an incoming call (S11).

  Next, the permission / refusal determination unit 14 refers to the rejection number list and the permission number list in the telephone directory 12 to determine whether the incoming call number is listed in either list (S12).

  When the incoming number is described in either the rejection number list or the permission number list (Yes in S12), the permission / rejection determination unit 14 determines whether or not the incoming number is a rejection number (S13).

  If the incoming number is not a rejection number (No in S13), the communication module 10 permits incoming from the incoming number (S14A). In other words, the communication module 10 determines not to reject the incoming call (note that the user determines whether to respond to the incoming call). On the other hand, when the incoming number is a rejection number (Yes in S13), the communication module 10 rejects the incoming call from the incoming number (S14B). For example, the communication module 10 may notify the caller that the incoming call is not received.

  In S12, when the incoming number is not a permission number or a rejection number (No in S12), the permission / rejection determination unit 14 transmits the incoming number to the nuisance number determination unit 23 of the communication management module 20 (S15).

  The nuisance number determination unit 23 receives the incoming call number from the permission determination unit 14 of the communication module 10 (S21). Next, the nuisance number determination unit 23 determines whether or not the incoming call number is the telephone number of the nuisance call source, that is, whether or not the incoming call number is listed in the nuisance number list L2 (S22). Then, the nuisance number determination unit 23 notifies the determination result in S22 to the permission determination unit 14 of the communication module 10 (S23).

  The permission / refusal determination unit 14 receives a determination result as to whether or not the incoming number is a nuisance number from the nuisance number determination unit 23 of the communication management module 20 (S16). Then, the permission / rejection determination unit 14 determines whether or not the incoming call number is a nuisance number (S17).

  If the incoming number is not a nuisance number (No in S17), the communication module 10 permits an incoming call from the incoming number (S14A). On the other hand, when the incoming number is a nuisance number (Yes in S17), the communication module 10 rejects the incoming call from the incoming number (S14B).

  With the above, the operation of the communication device 1 when the communication module 10 determines whether the incoming call is permitted or not ends. In the operation flow of the communication apparatus 1 described above, a step (S12) for determining whether or not the called number is described in the rejection number list and the permission number list, and the permission / rejection determination unit 14 indicates that the incoming number is a nuisance number. The step of determining whether or not there is (S17) may be replaced. In this configuration, after executing the process of S17, the communication module 10 executes the process of S13 if the incoming number is a nuisance number, and executes the process of S15 if the incoming number is not a nuisance number. To do.

(Operation 2 of communication device 1; download of nuisance number list L2)
The operations of the communication device 1 and the server 100 will be described with reference to FIG. Specifically, the communication management module 20 uploads the outgoing call history information L1 to the server 100 and the operation flow of the communication device 1 and the server 100 when downloading the latest nuisance number list L2 from the server 100. explain. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of each operation of the communication module 10, the communication management module 20, and the server 100 in the above case.

  As shown in FIG. 5, first, the communication module 10 is used (S31). Here, “use” includes that the communication module 10 receives an incoming call and that the communication module 10 makes a call, and that the telephone directory 12 is updated. Here, it is assumed that the communication module 10 is used for outgoing calls.

  Next, the usage information notification unit 13 creates the usage information of the communication module 10 based on the usage state of the communication module 10 (calling destination telephone number, call duration, outgoing call date, etc.), and uses the created usage information. The information is transmitted to the usage information acquisition unit 21 of the communication management module 20 (S32).

  The usage information acquisition unit 21 of the communication management module 20 acquires the usage information from the usage information notification unit 13 of the communication module 10 (S41, usage information acquisition step). The transmission history information creation unit 22 creates the transmission history information L1 using the usage information acquired by the usage information acquisition unit 21 (S42). Then, the transmission history information creation unit 22 uploads the created transmission history information L1 to the server 100 (S43, usage information transmission step).

  The server 100 receives the transmission history information L1 from the transmission history information creation unit 22 of the communication management module 20 (S51). Then, the server 100 records the received call history information L1 in the database (S52).

  Further, the server 100 may update the nuisance number list L2 using the transmission history information L1 recorded in the database (S53). For example, when the telephone number included in the current nuisance number list L2 is described in the outgoing call history information L1, the server 100 may delete the telephone number from the nuisance number list L2. In this way, the outgoing call history information L1 is used by the server 100 as information on a telephone number that is not the source of the nuisance call.

  When the nuisance number list of the server 100 is updated, the server 100 transmits the latest nuisance number list L2 to the communication device 1 (S54). The nuisance number determination unit 23 of the communication management module 20 downloads the latest nuisance number list L2 from the server 100 (S44).

  Thus, the operation of the communication device 1 when the troublesome number list L2 of the communication management module 20 is updated is completed. In the flowchart shown in FIG. 5, the transmission history information creation unit 22 uploads the transmission history information L1 to the server 100 (S43) may be a predetermined time every day, or a predetermined time instructed from the server. It may be time. Also, the transmission history information creation unit 22 downloads the nuisance number list L2 (S44) may be at the time of update of the transmission history information, at a predetermined time every day, or instructed by the server. It may be a predetermined time. The outgoing call history information creation unit 22 may perform both uploading to the server 100 and downloading from the server 100 while connected to the server 100 once.

(Modification 1)
In one modification, the server 100 may permit browsing of the transmission history information L1 of the communication module 10 in response to access from the PC 2 (see FIG. 2). At this time, the server 100 inputs an account assigned to each communication device 1 to a person who has accessed the server 100 (a user of the communication device 1 or a third party related to the user). May be requested.

  According to this modification, even if a person is located far away from the user of the communication module 10, the state of the user of the communication module 10 can be confirmed by accessing the server 100 and checking the usage history of the communication module 10. (For example, how often the communication module 10 is used and which telephone number the person is talking to frequently).

(Modification 2)
In another modification, the outgoing call history information creation unit 22 receives incoming call history information (for example, telephone number, incoming call count, call time, incoming call date / time) that is information received by the communication module 10 during a certain period (or until now). And information including whether or not the incoming call is rejected) may be created. Then, the created incoming call history information may be transmitted to the server 100.

  In this modification, the server 100 updates the nuisance number list L2 using the incoming call history information in addition to the outgoing call history information L1. For example, the server 100 may add a telephone number that the user of the communication device 1 refuses to receive to the nuisance number list L2.

[Embodiment 2]
The following will describe another embodiment of the present invention. For convenience of explanation, members having the same functions as those described in the embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted.

  In the first embodiment, the configuration of the communication device 1 (FIG. 1) when the communication module 10 and the communication management module 20 are integrated has been described. However, in this embodiment, the communication management module 20 is configured to be detachable from the communication module 10, and the communication module 10 and the communication management module 20 constitute different hardware devices.

  According to the configuration of the present embodiment, the communication management module 20 can be detached from the communication module 10. Therefore, for example, the communication management module 20 can be removed from the old communication module 10 and remounted on the new communication module 10, and the communication management module 20 can be reused.

The program may be supplied to the computer via an arbitrary transmission medium (such as a communication network or a broadcast wave) that can transmit the program. The present invention can also be realized in the form of a data signal embedded in a carrier wave in which the program is embodied by electronic transmission.

[Summary]
A communication device (1) according to aspect 1 of the present invention is a communication device capable of communicating via a public switched telephone network, and when the communication device performs a transmission operation, information related to the transmission operation or the transmission Usage information acquisition unit (21) for acquiring information related to transmission by operation and usage information transmission for transmitting the information acquired by the usage information acquisition unit to a server (100) for recording transmission history information of the communication device (Transmission history information creation unit 22).

  According to said structure, the information regarding the transmission or transmission operation | movement of a communication apparatus is transmitted to the server which records the transmission log information of a communication apparatus. Therefore, the server can use the information for various purposes. For example, when a third party accesses the server and refers to the communication history information of the communication device, the user of the communication device can know what type of transmission is being performed using the communication device. it can. In addition, the server removes the telephone number transmitted from the communication device included in the information received from the communication device from the list of the unwanted telephone numbers estimated to be the destination of the nuisance call. The accuracy of the list can be improved.

  In the communication device according to aspect 2 of the present invention, in the aspect 1, the information may include at least one of the number of times of transmission, the date and time when the transmission was performed, the call time at the time of transmission, and the transmission destination.

  According to said structure, the third party who accessed the server can know what kind of transmission destination the user of a communication apparatus is transmitting frequently using a communication apparatus, for example.

  In the communication device according to aspect 3 of the present invention, in the above aspect 1 or 2, the transmission operation may be an operation in which the communication device is connected to a public switched telephone network by a user operation.

  According to the above configuration, when the communication device is automatically connected to the public switched telephone network, the information related to the transmission is not acquired and the information is not transmitted to the server. For example, when the communication device transmits information to transmit information to the server, information related to the transmission is not transmitted to the server.
