Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is capable of canceling the telephone number of a subscriber for which a call is rejected once registered in a call rejection service, a so-called nuisance call termination service, particularly the subscriber number of a call for which a call is rejected that was registered last. The present invention relates to a maintenance method of call rejection number data used for a call rejection service.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A nuisance call termination service is an effective telephone service for repelling, for example, a prank call or a relatively unfavorable call that is made relatively frequently, such as investment or financial relations. According to the request of a person, the contract is registered and set for each telephone subscriber.
Then, when the telephone subscriber subscribes to the nuisance call termination service, the call rejection number data as shown in FIG. 7 is provided in correspondence with the identification information such as the telephone number of the telephone subscriber. The telephone number of the other party who should reject the incoming call is stored in the rejection number data.

That is, the incoming call rejection number data shown in FIG. 7 is the maximum number of registered subscribers who should be rejected, and the current registered number which is the number of incoming subscribers who should be rejected. It consists of the number of registrations and the telephone number of the other subscriber who should be rejected, which is stored as a rejection ID.
In the example shown in FIG. 7, 6 is set as the maximum number of registrations, 4 is registered as the current number of registrations, and the telephone number of the call rejection party in the rejection ID is provided with a memory area corresponding to the maximum number of registrations. The telephone number of the call recipient is stored in the area.

When a telephone subscriber who has made a contract for the nuisance call termination service receives an incoming call, it is determined whether or not the calling subscriber who originated the incoming call is an incoming call rejection party. Check from the telephone number of the call rejection party stored in the rejection number data. If the result of this check is that the telephone number of the calling subscriber who originated this incoming call does not correspond to any of the telephone numbers of the call recipients in the call rejection number data, the call is rejected and the call is rejected. If the calling subscriber's telephone number corresponds to any of the telephone numbers of the call rejection parties in the call rejection number data, the call is judged to be the call rejection party and the incoming call is accepted. It refuses and gives a rejection guidance.

Further, as described above, the contracted subscriber of the nuisance call termination service registers the telephone number of the other party who should or should reject the incoming call in the incoming call rejection number data, and the registered incoming call rejection party You can reject incoming calls from subscribers, but in some cases, you may mistakenly register the incoming call rejection subscriber,
The telephone number of the incoming call rejection subscriber registered in the incoming call rejection number data can be released.

FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing a conventional process for canceling the telephone number of an incoming call rejection party subscriber once registered in the incoming call rejection service. In FIG. 8, when the contracting subscriber dials a special service dial that requires a nuisance call exception service, for example, "144" (step S91), the nuisance call exception service of the exchange receives the call and the "currently registered" There are XX phone numbers on the phone. Please dial the number 2 when rejecting registration and the number 9 when canceling all registered phone numbers. " (Step S92). Therefore, if the contracting subscriber desires to cancel the registered telephone number, he / she dials the number "9" (step S93). In the exchange, it is registered in the call rejection number data corresponding to the contracting subscriber. Cancels all the phone numbers of the incoming call rejection party subscribers, and then notifies the contracting subscriber of the message "All registered phone numbers have been canceled" (step S94). All telephone numbers of the person will be cancelled.

[0007]

In the conventional nuisance call termination service described above, if the contract subscriber wants to cancel the telephone number of the call rejection party subscriber once registered, the telephone number of the call rejection party subscriber already registered is canceled. There is a problem that all the numbers are released at the same time.

More specifically, the contracting subscriber generally wants to cancel only the telephone number of the incoming call rejection subscriber who has been mistakenly registered, and it is even more troublesome if all the telephone numbers are canceled. become. In many cases, such a registration error is noticed immediately after registration, specifically, this is the last registered telephone number. Therefore, in many cases, the contracted subscriber wants to release only the last registered telephone number, but in the conventional nuisance call service, as described above,
There is a problem that all phone numbers are canceled and only the last registered phone number cannot be canceled.

The present invention has been made in view of the above,
It is an object of the invention to provide a maintenance method of call rejection number data used for a call rejection service that can cancel only the telephone number of the call recipient party registered last.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, the method for maintaining the call rejection number data used in the call rejection service of the present invention corresponds to at least the identification information of the subscriber who has contracted the call rejection to the exchange. Incoming call rejection number data that stores the identification information of the subscriber who is subject to the incoming call rejection, and when the incoming call is made to the subscriber who contracts the incoming call rejection, the incoming call rejection number data corresponding to the identification information of the contracting subscriber The identification information of the incoming call rejection target subscriber is compared with the identification information of the incoming call, and if they match, it is determined that the incoming call is an incoming call that should be rejected, and the incoming call is not connected to the contracted subscriber. In the call rejection service that is controlled as described above, when registering the identification information of the call rejection target subscriber in the call rejection number data, final registration position information indicating the registration position of the identification information is added and registered. However, when the exchange requests the registration of the identification information of the call rejection target subscriber, the identification information is registered at the position next to the registration position indicated by the final registration position information and the final registration position information is updated. When there is a request to release the identification information of the call rejection target subscriber registered in the registration position indicated by the final registration position information, the exchange cancels the identification information in the registration position indicated by the final registration position information. The gist is to update the last registered position information.

[0011]

In the maintenance method of the call rejection number data used in the call rejection service of the present invention, the final registration position information indicating the registration position of the identification information of the subscriber of the call rejection target is added to the call rejection number data, and the final registration position is added. When there is a request for canceling the identification information of the call rejection target subscriber indicated by the information, it is possible to cancel only the identification information of the call rejection party subscriber at the registration position indicated by the final registration position information.

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing the operation of canceling the telephone number of the registered incoming call rejection partner subscriber in the method of maintaining the incoming call rejection number data used for the incoming call rejection service according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, when the subscriber of the call rejection service dials a special service dial for the call rejection service, for example, "144" (step S11), the exchange asks, "The currently registered telephone number is XX. The number is 2.
Please dial the number 9 to cancel all registered phone numbers, the number 3 to cancel only the newest registration, and the number 4 to confirm the effect. " Person is notified (step S1)
2).

Here, when the contract subscriber dials "9" (step S13), all the telephone numbers of the call-rejecting party subscribers registered in the call-rejecting service are canceled, and the "currently registered" The contract subscriber is notified with the guidance "I have released all existing phone numbers."

When the contracting subscriber dials "3" (step S15), the telephone number of the call rejection recipient subscriber registered last in the call rejection party subscribers registered in the call rejection service. The number is released, and the exchange subscriber is informed of the guidance "The most recently registered phone number has been released. The number of registered phone numbers is now XX" (step S1).
6).

In FIG. 1, when the number "2" is dialed (step S17), the telephone number of the undesired incoming call to the contracted subscriber is set as the incoming call rejection partner subscriber. A registration process is performed (step S18). Further, when the number "4" is dialed (step S19), the contract subscriber is notified of the number of times the incoming call rejection from the contract subscriber is rejected (step S19). Step S
20).

Next, referring to FIG. 2, the operation of the call rejection service described in FIG. 1 will be described in more detail with reference to the call rejection number data for registering the telephone numbers of the exchange and the call rejection recipient subscriber.

As shown in FIG. 2, the telephone exchange 1 is provided with call rejection number data 3 for registering the telephone number of the call rejection party subscriber for each subscriber of the call rejection service. This incoming call rejection number data 3 is the maximum number of registrations which is the maximum number of incoming call rejection subscribers that the contract subscriber of the incoming call rejection service can register, and the current registration number which is the number of incoming call rejection party subscribers currently registered. , Last registered position information indicating the position of the last registered memory location, incoming call rejection This month counter and previous month counter that counts the number of times this month and the previous month the incoming call from the other party was rejected, and registered as a rejection ID It is composed of a plurality of stored call numbers of the called party.

In the call rejection number data thus configured, the final registration position information is the last registered telephone number among the telephone numbers of a plurality of call rejection party subscribers, that is, the hatched line in FIG. It indicates the registration position where the telephone number of the latest registration refusal ID shown by is registered. Therefore, when the contract subscriber designates the telephone number of the incoming call refusal partner subscriber who is going to newly register, the registration next to the registration position indicated by the final registration position information (the registration position indicated by hatching in FIG. 2) is performed. The telephone number of the incoming call rejection subscriber who is about to be newly registered is registered at the position.

When the contracted subscriber wants to release the telephone number of the incoming call rejection partner subscriber that was registered last, the final registered position information is dialed by dialing "3" as described in FIG. Latest registration refusal ID at the registration position indicated by (the latest registration refusal ID shown by hatching in FIG. 2)
Will be canceled.

With reference to FIG. 2, the operation when the contracted subscriber cancels the telephone number of the incoming call rejection partner subscriber registered last will be described. First, when the contracted subscriber dials the special service dial "144" of the call rejection service, the dial "144" is sent to the exchange 1. When the exchange 1 analyzes this dial "144" and determines that it is a call rejection service, it notifies the contract subscriber of guidance for receiving the next dial. The contract subscriber is
When the "latest registered call cancellation number" for canceling the telephone number of the last registered incoming call rejection party subscriber, for example, the dial "3" described in FIG. 1 is dialed, the exchange 1 analyzes this dial "3". Then, the latest registration refusal ID is analyzed, and the call rejection number data corresponding to the contract subscriber who made the call is read, and the latest registration refusal ID of the registration position indicated by the final registration position information, that is, the last Cancels the telephone number of the incoming call rejection subscriber registered in and notifies the contracting subscriber of the guidance that the registered content of the latest registered call has been canceled.

Next, with reference to FIG. 3, a description will be given of the processing in the telephone exchange of the receiving side when the contracted subscriber releases the telephone number of the incoming call rejection party subscriber.

In FIG. 3, when the called exchange receives a dial from a contract subscriber, it is judged whether the dial is a dial for a call rejection service (step S).
21). If the dial is not for the call rejection service, the process corresponding to the dial is performed (step S2).
2). If the dial is for call rejection service,
It is determined whether the dial is for canceling registration data (step S23). If it is not the dial for canceling the registration data, the incoming call rejection service, that is, the other service for the nuisance call exception service is processed (step S24).

If the dial is for canceling registration data, it is determined whether the dial is "9" for canceling all registration data or the dial "3" for canceling only the latest registration data (step). S25). If the dial is "9", all the registration data in the incoming call rejection number data of the contracted subscribers, that is, the telephone numbers of all the incoming call rejection party subscribers are released, and the process ends (step S26).

In the case of the dial "3" for releasing only the latest registration data, the final registration position information in the rejection number list, that is, the reception rejection number data is read (step S27) and is indicated by this final registration position information. The telephone number of the incoming call rejection partner subscriber registered in the registration position is canceled (step S28). Then, the current registration number and the final registration position information of the incoming call rejection number data are each reduced by "-1" and the process is terminated (step S29).

FIG. 4 shows various cases of the maximum number of registrations, the current number of registrations, and the final registration position information stored in the incoming call rejection number data. That is, the case shows the case where the maximum registration number is 6, the current registration number is 4, and the final registration position information is 4, and the case is the case where the maximum registration number is 6, the current registration number is 6, and the final registration position information is 3. The case shows the case where the maximum registration number is 6, the current registration number is 6, and the final registration position information is 1, and the case shows the case where all are 6.

In the incoming call rejection number data shown in FIG. 4, the maximum number of registrations remains unchanged, but the current number of registrations and the final registration position information change from moment to moment due to new registration and cancellation by the contracting subscriber. That is, if the contract subscriber newly makes a registration, the current number of registrations increases, the final registration position information changes to indicate this new registration position, and if the last registered telephone number is released, The number of registrations decreases, and the final registration position information changes to indicate the registration position of the telephone number of the call rejection party subscriber registered one before. In this case, when the current registration number is equal to the maximum registration number and a new registration occurs, this registration position overwrites the oldest first position.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing the procedure for updating the final registration position and the current registration number. In FIG. 5, first, it is determined whether or not the current registration number is smaller than the maximum registration number (step S31). If the current registration number is smaller than the maximum registration number, the current registration number is decremented by 1 and the final The registration position is decremented by 1 (step S32). This processing corresponds to the processing in the above case.

If the current registration number is not smaller than the maximum registration number, it is determined whether or not the final registration position is smaller than the maximum registration number (step S33). If the final registration position is smaller than the maximum registration number, it is further checked whether or not the final registration position is 1 (step S34). If the final registration position is not 1, the final registration position is decremented by 1 (step S35). This process corresponds to the above case.

If the final registration position is 1 in step S34, the maximum registration number is substituted for the current registration number, and the maximum registration number is substituted for the final registration position (step S34).
36). This process corresponds to the above case.

Further, in step S33, if the final registration position is not smaller than the maximum registration number, the process proceeds to step S32, the current registration number is decremented by 1, and the final registration position is decremented.
Do 1 This process corresponds to the above case.

Next, with reference to FIG. 6, a process of registering the telephone number of the incoming call rejection party subscriber in the incoming call rejection number data will be described.

As shown in FIG. 6, it is assumed that a malicious call originates from a subscriber's telephone. It is assumed that the telephone number of the malicious call subscriber is not yet registered as the telephone number of the incoming call rejection party in the incoming call rejection number data of the telephone subscriber contracting the incoming call rejection service.

The malicious call originated from the malicious call subscriber arrives at the telephone of the contract subscriber from the originating exchange through the destination exchange. In this case, the originating exchange sends the originating ID of the malicious call subscriber to the terminating exchange. When a malicious call arrives at the subscriber's telephone, the subscriber responds to the malicious call and talks to the other party of the malicious call. , This call is disconnected, and immediately thereafter, an operation for registering the telephone number of the call rejection target in the call rejection number data, for example, the telephone number "144" is dialed to activate the call rejection service.

When the incoming call rejection service is activated, the exchange sends guidance to the contracting subscriber regarding whether or not to register the telephone number of the malicious call subscriber, which is currently applied to the contracting subscriber, in the incoming call rejection number data. Since the message is transmitted, the contracted subscriber dials a predetermined service number in response to this inquiry, for example, "2", and the telephone number of the malicious call subscriber, that is, the telephone number of the other party to whom the incoming call is to be rejected is shown in FIG. Registered in the rejection number data.

As described above, when the telephone number of the malicious call telephone subscriber is registered in the call rejection number data corresponding to the contract subscriber, thereafter, the malicious call telephone subscriber becomes the contract subscriber. Even if a telephone call is made to the subscriber, the malicious call does not arrive at the contract subscriber, so the contract subscriber is not bothered by the malicious call.

In the above embodiment, the case where the telephone number is used to register the contracted subscriber of the incoming call rejection service and the incoming call rejection partner subscriber has been described, but the present invention is not limited to the telephone number. For example, identification information of each subscriber, such as accommodation location information on the exchange, may be used.

[0038]

As described above, according to the present invention,
When final registration position information indicating the registration position of the identification information of the call rejection target subscriber is added to the call rejection number data, and there is a request to release the identification information of the call rejection target subscriber indicated by the final registration position information, Since it is possible to release only the identification information of the call rejection party subscriber at the registration position indicated by the final registration location information, only the identification information of the last call rejection party subscriber that the contract subscriber has registered by mistake, for example. Can be canceled, and usability can be improved without canceling all the identification information of the incoming call rejection party subscribers registered as in the conventional case.
