Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a message arrival notification system using the character display function of a telephone.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of message arrival notification system, from the time a new message addressed to the subscriber is stored in the voice storage device until the time it is retrieved, the message arrival information is held in common by the subscriber for all telephones. Text was displayed on the phone.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The conventional message arrival notification system described above cannot display message arrival information corresponding to each subscriber in text on the telephone.

Means for Solving Problem C] The message arrival notification system of the present invention includes a telephone exchange that accommodates a telephone with a character display function, a voice storage device connected to the telephone exchange, and the telephone exchange and the voice storage device. and a processing device for transmitting and receiving control information to and from the telephone, and the voice storage device stores the number of the telephone to be notified of the arrival of the message when newly storing a message addressed to the subscriber who owns the telephone, and the Message arrival information including content to be displayed on the telephone is transmitted to the telephone exchange via the processing device, and the telephone exchange displays text on the telephone based on the message arrival information received via the processing device. The present invention is characterized in that the function is controlled and text is displayed on the telephone to indicate that a message has arrived between when a message addressed to the subscriber is newly stored in the voice storage device and when it is retrieved.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4 showing one embodiment of the present invention,
As shown in FIG.
It is connected to the. Here, it is assumed that subscriber A owns telephone 10 and that subscriber B and subscriber C jointly own telephone 11. When subscriber A dials the telephone number of voice storage device 14 from telephone 10, a call is set up between telephone 10 and voice storage device 14 via telephone exchange 12. Subscriber A specifies subscribers B and C as destinations and stores the message in the voice storage device 14. FIG. 2 shows the processing device 15 of the audio storage device 14.
This is a correspondence table between the identification number of the subscriber and the telephone number of the telephone owned by the subscriber. Based on the identification number of C, identification numbers 20.22 to 24 in the correspondence table are scanned, and when a matching identification number is found, the corresponding telephone number is obtained from among telephone numbers 21.23 to 25. The processing device 15 of the voice storage device 14 transmits a message arrival notification control signal shown in FIG. 3 to the processing device 13 of the telephone exchange 12 in order to notify subscribers B and C of the arrival of a new message. . In FIG. 3, 30 indicates a control signal name, 31 a liquid crystal display (on/off) signal, 32 a telephone number, and 33 a subscriber identification number. In this case, since a new message has arrived at subscriber B and subscriber C, two message arrival notification control signals are transmitted. Among these control signals, the telephone number 32 is set to the same number, and the subscriber identification number 33 is set to the subscriber B.
The identification number of subscriber C and the identification number of subscriber C are set. When the processing device 13 of the telephone exchange 12 receives the two message arrival notification control signals from the processing device 15, it recognizes the telephone number to be displayed on the liquid crystal display and the subscriber identification number which is the displayed content.

FIG. 4 is a conversion table between the telephone number stored in the processing unit 13 of the telephone exchange 12 and the housing position information of the corresponding telephone in the telephone exchange.
Scan phone numbers 40.42 to 44 in the conversion table based on 2, and if a matching number is found, storage location information 41.4
Accommodation position information corresponding to numbers 3 to 45 is obtained.

The processing device 13 uses the obtained housing position information and the liquid crystal display control signal 3.
1 and the subscriber's identification number 33, the telephone 11 displays text indicating that messages have arrived for subscribers B and C.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, message arrival information including the subscriber's identification number is displayed in text on the subscriber's telephone when a new message addressed to the subscriber is stored in the voice storage device. Therefore, even when a single telephone is shared by multiple subscribers, by looking at the message arrival information displayed on the telephone, the subscriber can know that a message has arrived for him/her. As a result, it is possible to notify more subscribers of message arrival without increasing the number of telephones.
