The connection table is used to control connection to a terminal device having a corresponding physical number.

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a destination connection control method in a communication system in which a moving individual exchanges and connects communications addressed to the individual to a terminal device at a moving destination.

In recent years, as a method for mobile individuals to receive communications from others, they have used mobile communications such as cars, or set their destination on a specific terminal device and recorded communications from others. Transfer telephones and the like are known in which a specific terminal device makes an outgoing connection to a destination, but there is a need for a system that can contact the destination with a simple configuration and simple procedures.

[Prior Art] Mobile communication is a conventional communication system for contacting a destination, but this requires transporting the communication device itself and is suitable for automobiles, ships, etc. However, it is inconvenient for individuals to move around.

Additionally, there are two ways for a person who is moving to ensure that communications are delivered to him/her:

■A method in which a person who is moving tells the person who will be contacting him/her the phone number of his/her destination each time he/she changes his/her destination and asks them to contact him/her if there is anything he needs to do. .

■ Set the destination phone number in advance or from the place you moved to your own forwarding phone, and calls received on that forwarding phone will be automatically connected to the set forwarding destination. how to.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The above methods (1) and (2) each have the following problems.

In the case of (3), it is effective against a person who is judged to be calling you, but you cannot contact someone who contacts you.

In the case of ■, not only is the forwarding phone device itself expensive, but the place where the forwarding phone device is installed has a total of two lines: an incoming line (the line that receives calls from others) and an outgoing line for making calls to the forwarding destination. Since calls made using a transfer connection are made via two lines, additional call charges will be incurred.

The present invention enables users to enter their own ID in advance to the terminal device closest to their destination.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a destination connection control method in a communication system that controls connection of communication addressed to oneself to a terminal device at a destination by simply setting a number.

[Means for solving problems] The basic configuration of the present invention is shown in FIG.

In FIG. 1, 10 represents a connection control section, 11 a network switch, 12 a signal control section, and 13 and 14 terminal devices.

The exchange system includes a connection control section 10, a network switch 11, and a signal control section 12, and the terminal devices 13.14 include telephone handsets 132.142.

The terminal devices 13 and 14 are each connected to the switching system by lines 133 and 143, and each line is a digital signal line, and the signals include information channels such as voice and data, and signal channels for control signals. A split multiplex signal is used.

The present invention is provided with means for setting and canceling an ID number for identifying each individual in a terminal device, and when the ID number is set in a destination terminal device, the signal control unit of the exchange system detects this and controls the connection. The physical number of the terminal device (representing a unique number of the terminal device such as the 1 talk number or accommodation position number) is registered in the connection table of the section, and the set ID number is registered in association with the connection table using this 10 number. When a request occurs, the connection control unit refers to this table, connects and calls the terminal device with the corresponding physical number.

[Operation] The terminal devices 13 and 14 actually have the same configuration, but for convenience of explanation, the ID number setting/cancellation means 131 is displayed on the terminal device 13 and the dialing means 141 is displayed on the terminal device 14.

Digital signals are transmitted and received on circuits 1133 and 143 connecting the switching system and the terminal equipment, and information channels (voice, data) and signal channels (control signals) are multiplexed and transmitted.

An outsider (visitor, conference participant, etc.) who visits a place where the terminal device 13 is installed enters his or her ID, which is his or her personal number.
Enter the number into the terminal device 13 and issue a setting instruction. This information is sent to the signal control unit 12! This is detected by the monitoring operation of the D number monitoring unit 121.

That is, when the line is idle (or always), the ID number setting/cancellation means 131 of the terminal device is scanned and monitored, and if the 10 number is set (or canceled), it is received and received on the signal channel of the line. . At that time, the 10 number monitoring unit 121 determines which terminal device (physical number of the terminal device) is the ID for the monitoring operation.
Since it is known whether the number has been generated, the physical number and the detected ID number are transferred to the connection control section 10.

When the connection control unit 10 receives this, the connection table 1
The ID number is set in association with the corresponding physical number information of 01.

The physical number set in this connection table is "1234", and the personal! For example, if the D number is 200'', after this setting is done, the terminal device 14 to 10 number 1
200". In that case, the dialing means 141 of the terminal device 14 dials the other party's ID number "2".
00'', the number information is also transmitted via the signal channel of the line 143 (added with an identification bit different from the ID number information) and sent to the signal controller 12.
The signal monitoring unit 122 detects the signal.

When the signal monitoring unit 122 detects the physical number of the originating terminal device and the connection information (dial number) of the destination terminal device, these information are transferred to the connection control unit 10 and stored in the holding unit 103.
is set to Since the partner number stored in this holding means is number 10 (indicated by the identification bit), the search means 102 searches the connection table 101 for the partner ID number "200".

As a result, the physical number "1234" corresponding to the ID number "200" is detected, and using that physical number, the other party's terminal device 13 is called using a known technique, the network switch 11 is controlled, and both terminals Communication can be performed by connecting bags y113 and 14.

Note that it goes without saying that the terminal device 14 can connect to the terminal device 13 using the other party's physical number "1234."
