As shown in Fig. 1, the call forwarding system according to the prior art is composed of exchange means 3 for controlling call forwarding between subscriber A 1 and subscriber B 2;

At this time, the exchange means 3 includes a memory unit 3b for storing incoming information input by the subscriber A 1, a controller 3a for outputting a call forwarding control signal to the memory unit 3b, It consists of a voice mail device (3c) is transferred to the incoming call in accordance with the control signal of the control unit (3a).

The memory unit 3b stores contents as shown in the following table.

Subscriber Call forwarding content A Call forward to C B none

As described above, the subscriber A 1 is stored in the memory unit 3b so that the call forwarding to C is performed, and the subscriber B 2 is set such that call forwarding is not performed.

The operation of the call forwarding scheme according to the prior art configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

Referring to Figure 2, first, it is determined whether the call forward from the subscriber is set (S1).

Subsequently, when the call forward is set up from the subscriber (S1), it is determined whether the call forwarding information to be forwarded is registered in the memory unit (S2).

Here, the call forwarding state set from the subscriber is input through the telephone.

In addition, when the determination result (S1) (S2), call forwarding to the subscriber is not set, or if the function to call forwarding is not registered in the memory unit, the call forwarding is performed (S3).

On the other hand, if it is determined in S2 that the subscriber has a call forwarding function registered in the memory unit, it is determined whether the registered function is a call forwarding to the voice mail device (S4).

As a result of the determination (S4), if the incoming call is transferred to the voice mail device, the call is confirmed after checking the state of the voice mail device (S5).

As a result of the determination (S4), it is determined whether or not the incoming call to the voice mail apparatus is the incoming call to the internal subscriber (S6).

As a result of the determination (S6), if the call transfer to the internal subscriber is confirmed after receiving the state of the subscriber to be received (S7).

In addition, if the determination result (S6) does not transfer the call to the internal subscriber, the call transfer to the outside of the exchange means (S8).

As described above, the call forwarding according to the prior art is configured in such a way as to automatically switch the phone to the desired place through the terminal.

That is, when the subscriber A enters the call forward registration function code, the subscriber A enters the desired telephone number C, and then hangs up the handset after hearing the registration confirmation tone.

Therefore, when the subscriber B calls the subscriber A, the call is transferred to C, and the subscriber B makes a call to the subscriber C converted to the C number.

However, the call forwarding system according to the prior art can switch to a desired call or voicemail device through the telephone to switch the incoming call to another place, but it is always switched from the time of registering the function to the time of release. This was inconvenient because it could not register the call forwarding function for the desired future time.

The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and according to the plan of the subscriber to the place where he can answer the incoming call in the future time, so that at the same time can register, change, and confirm several time zones on the exchange means The purpose is to provide a multi-function call forwarding device.
