Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for carrying out an automated redial for a call back when not busy in telecommunications networks according to the preamble of the independent claims.
- Attempted calls in which the called party does not accept the call, are not valid if the called party does not have an answering machine or a mobile box. The caller only has the option to try again a few times later.
- Redial functions are only available for ISDN terminals and high-end telephone systems. Similar functions are known in mobile radio networks or in mobile radio terminals.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method and a device for performing a redial for a call back when not busy in telecommunications networks, which operate independently of the telecommunications network and telecommunications terminal used.
- the method according to the invention means a certain gain in comfort for the communication subscriber. Instead of a manual redial, which he has to carry out and monitor continuously, in the case of “not busy”, an automatic redial occurs on the exchange side. An automatic redial on the terminal side is also possible.
- the central office automatically redials the number.
- An attempt to call the switching center is preferably made with a relatively short waiting time for the call to be taken, in order to avoid any nuisance to the called party.
- the caller receives a ring tone, i.e. as if he was being called himself, signals that the desired conversation has now been established.
- the called party can have the appropriate information imported, e.g. "Please wait, you will be connected immediately". If the caller does not answer or if the called party hangs up in the meantime, the procedure is terminated.
- the procedure is also canceled.
- the caller is informed that the called party cannot be reached.
- the caller can be informed via a certain signal tone, a short message (SMS) or a voice announcement.
- SMS short message
- the call redial service on the exchange side can generally be activated or deactivated by the caller, preferably by dialing a specific service number.
- a possibility of free configurability and editing by the caller, ie an option to set the time window for the Redialing or the intervals between attempts to dial can also be provided.
- customer care interfaces are also conceivable, e.g. activation / configuration via the Internet, call a hotline of the network operator, enter a "direct-acting" service activation code, by fax, etc.
- the telecommunications network could support the subscriber by - after assuming that he has activated the service in general - it plays an announcement after a certain period of time, for example about 30 seconds, which indicates a key code, e.g. * 38 # call button, to activate the service.
- a key code e.g. * 38 # call button
- the service could be configured or edited in a similar manner.
- the subscriber dials the key sequence * 38 # again, and the system then offers him - after a certain waiting time by waiting for the "call button" - menu-driven (voice or key-based) options.
- the key sequence * 38 # 120 # 90 # 5 # could mean: Call back when not busy, start in 120 minutes, then try to call every 5 minutes in the following 90 minutes, as described.
- a terminal-based solution is also conceivable.
- the mobile terminal could also be recognize yourself when the called party does not accept the call, and then automatically initiate a redial, for example, and / or offer the calling party appropriate options by voice or key control.
- a terminal-based solution only works with terminal devices designed for this purpose.
