Abstract

PURPOSE: To prevent important information from being let out to a competitor by transferring or interrupting a call signal to a another zone terminal in a prescribed time after the caller terminal receives absence transfer information from a notice section. CONSTITUTION: Suppose that an identification party A is not in existence in a home zone terminal 18a but moved to another zone terminal 18n, then a caller sends a call signal to the home zone terminal 18a of the identification party A from a caller terminal 17a, and absence notice of the identification party A is generated. Absence transfer information including a transfer section in the absence notice is sent to the caller terminal 17a. Upon the receipt of the absence transfer information, the caller terminal 17a allows a display section 25a to display the name of the terminal 19a of the location of the identification party A and its position. Simultaneously a timer section 12 is set. While the timer section 12 is being set, whether or not the transfer destination party is a competitor to the caller is judged for the judgment of transfer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the telephone device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of a telephone device 10 of the present invention. The telephone device 10 includes an electronic exchange 1
1, a control unit 1 having a timer unit 12
3 is provided. The control unit 13 includes terminal interface units 14a, 14b, 14c ..., a switching unit 15, a highway 16 such as a data highway and a speech highway.
Are connected, and the exchange unit 15 receives the control signals from the terminal interface units 14a, 14b ... And controls the exchange.

A plurality of terminals 17a ..., 18a ..., 19a ... Are connected to the terminal interface units 14a, 14b ..., and communication is performed between these terminals.

In the present invention, for convenience of explanation, the terminal 17a is a calling terminal, the terminal 18a is a home zone terminal registered by an identifier by an identification number, and the terminal 19a is transferred when an identifier moves. It will be called another zone terminal of the transfer destination set to.

The control unit 13 is provided with a CPU, ROM, RAM and the like. In the RAM of the control unit 13, as shown in FIG. 2, an identifier A having personal identification numbers I, II ...
Home zone terminals 18a ... Of B ... are registered. In addition, as shown in FIG.
Position names P1, P2, ... For a ... Are registered.
The terminals 17a, 18a, 19a, ... Have substantially the same structure. For example, the terminal unit 20a of the terminal 17a includes a handset unit 21a, a key operation unit 22a, and a function key unit 23.
a, an office line key unit 24a, a display unit 25a, etc. are provided to send or receive communication signals.

In such a telephone device 10, when the caller makes a call from the calling terminal 17a to the identifier A having the personal identification number I, the calling signal is transmitted through the terminal interface section 14a and the highway 16. Is sent to the control unit 13. In the control unit 13, the RAM is calculated by the CPU or the like.
The home zone terminal 18a of the identifier A is searched from.

By this search, the exchange unit 15 controls exchange and connects the calling terminal 17a and the home zone terminal 18a. By this connection, the identifier A is the home zone terminal 18a
If it is (S11), the home zone terminal 18a is called (S12), and the caller and the identifier A communicate with each other.

Next, it is assumed that the identifier A moves to another zone terminal 18n while being away from the home zone terminal 18a for some reason. Prior to this movement, the identifier A registers the transfer destination of the communication in the RAM of the electronic exchange 11 so as to be the other zone terminal 19a.

In this state, when the caller calls the identifier A for communication, the caller sends a call signal from the calling terminal 17a to the home zone terminal 18a of the identifier A. The absence notification of A is generated (S13). The absence notification is sent to the calling terminal 17a via the terminal interface unit 14a, the highway 16, the exchange unit 15, the highway 16, and the terminal interface unit 14a as the absence transfer information including the transfer destination.

When the call forwarding terminal 17a receives this call forwarding information, the terminal 19a to which the identifier A has moved and its position P11 are displayed on the display section 25a as shown in FIG.

At the same time as the notification of the absence notification, the timer unit 12
Is set (S14). While the timer unit 12 is set, it is judged whether the transfer destination P11 is a competitor of the calling party or not, and the transfer is judged (S15). When calling is interrupted by this determination, the calling terminal 17a is disconnected and the communication is ended (S16). If it is not necessary to interrupt the call based on the above determination, the transfer process is performed by the timer out of the waiting timer unit 12 for a predetermined time, for example, 5 to 10 seconds (S
17). As a result, the caller sends the terminal 19 of the transfer destination P11.
It is possible to communicate with the identifier A of a.

[0023]
