If the called party cannot be identified and called, the called party's telephone terminal receives a list of other users who have registered a code indicating that the called party is available. to the caller's telephone terminal, the caller's telephone terminal displays a list of the other users on its display, and selects another user from the displayed list to make a designated call. A telephone system for displaying the name of the person present is shown in which the person on the other end can be changed after confirming the other party.

[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a telephone system for displaying the names of people present who can respond to a called telephone terminal on a calling telephone terminal.

[Problems to be solved by the prior art and the invention]

If multiple people are using one phone,
The caller does not know who is at the called party's telephone terminal, and if the intended party is not present during the relaying of the call, the caller may have a conversation with another person, and then the intended party is absent. It was often done to confirm the identity of the person or to send a message.

[Means for solving problems]

A data communication means for data transfer, a called party designation means for inputting a code for identifying the called party, a display means for displaying the name of the called party, and a selection means for selecting the name displayed on the display means. a selective input means for inputting information, and a designated calling means for performing a designated calling according to an identification code;
a plurality of telephone terminals comprising a location management means that stores location data indicating the current location of the user inputted and outputs location data corresponding to the identification code inputted by the called party designation means; The calling telephone terminal transmits the called party's identification code through the data communication means, and the receiving telephone terminal receives the called party's identification code through the data communication means when the call arrives, and identifies the person whose identification code corresponds to the called party's identification code. In a telephone system that calls by a designated calling means, after receiving the called party's identification code, the called party's telephone terminal searches for the location data of the corresponding person using the location management means, and determines whether the location data is a code indicating that the telephone cannot be answered. If so, automatically or at the instruction of the calling party, the identification codes of all users including the location codes that are available for telephone calls stored in the location management means are transmitted to the calling party's telephone, and the identification codes are received. The calling telephone terminal displays the name corresponding to the identification code on the display means, and when this name is input by the selection means, the first called telephone terminal of the receiving telephone terminal that received the first call is displayed via the data communication means. A designated calling call is made to a second called party selected on behalf of a calling party without disconnecting the line.

[Effect]

The present invention makes a telephone call by inputting a called party code from a calling party's telephone terminal in a called party designation means, and notifies the called party's code to a called party's telephone terminal by a called party notifying means. The telephone terminal uses the location management means to search for the location data of the called party, and if the location data is a code indicating that the telephone cannot be answered, the telephone terminal of the called party automatically or according to instructions from the caller. Searching the list of personal names stored in the location management means, and notifying the calling telephone terminal of the list of names of individuals who can answer the call to the called telephone terminal;
When another called party code is displayed on the display means of the calling telephone terminal and is input into the selection input means, it is transmitted from the calling telephone terminal to the called telephone terminal via the data communication means. , the called party's telephone terminal makes a call to the selected other called party without disconnecting the line, thereby solving the above problem and making it possible to automatically relay the call. It becomes possible to realize a telephone system that provides
