Abstract

PURPOSE:To transfer a message to an opposite party in a short time even if the opposite party is busy by adding the message prepared in advance to a call setting message and releasing a call before the connection of the call is finished. CONSTITUTION:The user starts a word processing program or a message generating program stored in advance in a storage section 2, generates the message and stores it to the storage section 2. When message communication is selected from a keyboard 3 at dialing, a communication control section 6 sends a call setting message including a display information element or user-user information element added with a message and acts like releasing a call before the call is connected. Even if the opposite party is busy, the message is transferred to the opposite party in a short time thereby improving the communication efficiency.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a communication device connected to an I5DN.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, when transmitting a message from an ISDN terminal to the other party, after a call connection procedure is completed on the D channel, audio or images are transmitted using the B channel.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional example described above, even if the message content to the other party is short, it is sent on the B channel after the call is connected, so it takes that much time and the other party is absent. The problem was that messages could not be sent when the phone was busy or when the phone was busy.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and
To provide a communication terminal device capable of transferring a message to the other party in a short time even when the other party is busy.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, a communication device of the present invention has the following configuration. That is, the communication device connected to the 15DN includes a storage means for inputting and storing a message, a selection means for selecting normal communication or a message communication, and a call setting message when selecting the message communication and making a call. and a release means for releasing the call after the sending means sends the call setting message.

[Operation] In the above configuration, when a message message is selected when a call is made, a call setup message including a display information element with a message text added or a user-user information element is sent, and before the call is connected. Acts to release the call.

[Embodiment] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Description of the device (Fig. 1) Fig. 1 is a block diagram of the PC/telephone combination terminal in this embodiment, where 1 is a CPU that controls the entire device, and 2 is a memory in which control programs, data, etc. are stored. 3 is a key fob for inputting dial numbers etc., 4 is a display for displaying information from the network, etc., and 5 is a handsera 1 to .
A communication control unit 6 is connected to the 15DN and performs call control and the like.

Description of Operation (FIG. 2)> Next, the communication operation in this embodiment will be described below with reference to the sequence diagram shown in FIG.

It is assumed that the user activates a word processing program or a message creation program stored in the storage unit 2 in advance, creates a message, and stores it in the storage unit 2.

First, when the user wants to send a message to the other party, the user selects message communication from the keyboard 3 (■). Next, use the keyboard 3 to specify the message to be sent ■, and then input the other party's number using the keyboard 3 ■.

Here, upon completion of inputting the other party's number, the CPU assembles the specified message text into the (user-user) information element and requests the communication control unit 6 to start message communication. Upon receiving this request, the communication control unit 6 adds the specified display (user/user) information element to the call setting message and makes a call.
. Thereafter, upon receiving a call setup acceptance message from the 15DN exchange, the call is released by sending a release message. When the release completion message is received from the exchange, ■, the end of transmission communication is notified to the CPUI. Here, the CPU 1, which has received the transmission communication end notification from the communication control unit 6, returns the processing to the normal operation mode,
A communication completion display is displayed on the display 4, and the communication operation is ended.

<Description of Processing Procedure (FIG. 3)> Next, the processing procedure in this embodiment will be explained below according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

As described above, in step SIO, the file designation of the message created in advance and stored in the storage unit 2 and the telephone number of the other party are input from the keypad 1-3. Then, based on the designation information input in step S12, the message is displayed as the (user-user) information element, and the communication control unit 6 is instructed to send a call setting message. Next, in step S14, the communication control unit 6 waits for receiving the call setup acceptance message from the ISDN exchange, and when the reception end is input from the communication control unit 6, the process proceeds to step S16.
The process proceeds with the process and instructs the sending of a release message. Then, in step S18, the terminal waits for a release completion message received from the ISDN exchange, and when the transmission end message is input from the communication control unit 6, the process advances to step S20, a communication end message is displayed on the display 4, and the message is displayed. End the transmission process.

According to this embodiment, by adding a message prepared in advance to the call setup message and releasing the call before the call connection is completed, the message can be notified to the other party in a short time and the other party can talk. Messages can be sent even if the phone is in the middle of the day.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, a message can be transferred to the other party in a short time even when the other party is busy, and communication efficiency is improved.
