Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a key telephone apparatus and a control program therefor, and more particularly, to terminal connection information registered from one key telephone terminal and terminal connection information registered from the other key telephone terminal when rearranging terminals. And a control program for a key telephone device which can be exchanged with each other by operation from one of the key telephone terminals.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of key telephone device, connection information such as an extension number and abbreviated dialing for each terminal is individually stored. It was necessary to change the setting of such connection information.

On the other hand, as a general method of using a key telephone apparatus, a user sets an individual speed dial registration, a transfer destination, etc. in a key telephone terminal (hereinafter referred to as a terminal), and performs daily operations with good convenience. I'm using

[0004] If there is a rearrangement of offices and floors, various service functions registered and set individually by the user before the rearrangement cannot be used after the rearrangement, so that re-registration is required after the rearrangement. Therefore, there is a demand for a system that can continue to use the user-specific terminal connection information and service functions registered before the relocation even if the terminal moves due to relocation of the office or floor.

In a key telephone apparatus for exchanging and connecting a detachable terminal having a plurality of physical ports based on predetermined connection information, the connection information is input from the terminal side and the RA is used.
M, while detecting the physical connection and disconnection of the terminal in the terminal interface unit, and when the terminal interface unit detects the physical disconnection of the terminal,
A technique for invalidating terminal information stored in the AM to prevent the connection information of another terminal from being reflected and to prevent inconsistency in connection information such as extension numbers has been developed. It is disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Hei 10-224837.

According to the above prior art, in a key telephone apparatus for accommodating a plurality of detachable terminals and switching connection based on predetermined connection information, a timer means for measuring a predetermined time and a password for each terminal are used. Comprising means for storing, when the terminal is detected to have been disconnected from the physical port, the timer means to start timing a predetermined time,
If a terminal is physically connected to the physical port before the end of the timing, the terminal is operated with the same extension number as the terminal disconnected from the physical port. When the terminal is physically connected to the terminal, the terminal requests the input of the extension number and the password, and when the input password matches the stored password, the terminal operates with the input extension number, and If the password does not match the stored password, it is determined whether the physical port number and the terminal type that are physically connected exist in the correspondence table, and if so, the operation is performed with the extension number in the correspondence table.

[0007]

In a conventional key telephone apparatus, when a terminal is moved by rearranging an office, a floor, or the like, terminal connection information and service functions unique to a user registered before the rearrangement are rearranged. However, in order to continue using the terminal without performing the re-registration operation, the terminal must be removed from the terminal before the relocation and then reconnected to the terminal after the relocation within a predetermined time.

However, in general, it is difficult to rearrange offices and floors in a short time, and it is difficult to continuously use terminal connection information and service functions as they are. In addition, there is a risk of erroneous operation.

When the connection is re-established after a predetermined time, the connection information (connection port number, extension number, terminal type, password) is inputted from the terminal after the movement, and the main unit executes various verification processes by the control program. In addition, it is necessary to verify the identity of the terminals and identify the terminal after the rearrangement and the terminal before the rearrangement.

[0010] Such post-relocation processing has to be performed for each relocated terminal. For example, terminal B is connected to the physical port to which terminal A was connected,
When the terminal A is reconnected to the physical port to which the terminal A has been connected, the same operation is required from both the terminal A and the terminal B, and the operation of changing and registering the terminal information is troublesome.

Further, since the administrator of the key telephone device cannot restrict the change registration of the terminal connection information and the service function performed by the user, if the setting of the administrator and the change registration of the user are performed at the same time, the setting on the system is performed. There is a risk of inconvenience.

Further, it is assumed that the terminal is detached from the physical port. For example, the user of the terminal A moves to the seat of the terminal B, and uses the terminal B as it is and uses the terminal connection information and service registered at the terminal A. The function cannot be used continuously.

An object of the present invention is to provide a terminal connection information and service function registered with one button telephone terminal before the rearrangement, and a terminal connection information registered with the other button telephone terminal before the rearrangement of the office or floor. It is an object of the present invention to provide a key telephone device which can be replaced by operating one of the key telephone terminals after rearranging the service function, and a control program therefor.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a main configuration of a key telephone apparatus of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a view showing a configuration of a physical port correspondence table, FIG. 3 is a view showing a configuration of an information management table, and FIGS. And FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a state mismatch between the terminal state and the connection information management table that occurs during the rewriting processing of the terminal connection information.

First, the configuration of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Referring to FIG. 1, the key telephone apparatus includes port numbers A1, A2,.
.. Am, terminal 1, terminal 2,... Terminal m, respectively, and main device 10 includes a plurality of physical ports 20, a terminal interface unit 30, a control unit 40, a storage device 50,
And a line interface unit 60.

The storage device 50 has a physical port correspondence table 50-1 and a connection information management table 50-2.

As shown in FIG. 2, the physical port correspondence table 50-1 has software management numbers (S / S) for managing the physical ports corresponding to the physical ports A1, A2,.
W) B1, B2,..., Bm are stored, and the control unit 4
0 is managed by a RAM management program (not shown).

As shown in FIG. 3, the connection information management table 50-2 is a physical port number (A1) which is connection information corresponding to the software management numbers B1, B2,... Bm of the physical port correspondence table 50-1. , A2,... Am), extension numbers (C1, C2,... Cm), terminal identification numbers (D
1, D2,... Dm), password (E1, E2,...)
Em), on-hook / off-hook information indicating the terminal state is stored.

The main unit 10 includes a line interface unit 60
, And a plurality of terminals are physically connected to the physical port 20. The physical port 20 is connected to the general public line via the terminal interface unit 30, the control unit 40, and the line interface unit 60, thereby enabling each terminal to make an external call.

On the other hand, each of the terminals 1, 2,..., M has a device such as a key for a telephone call and a receiver, which is used in a normal key telephone terminal, and has a ROM (not shown) holding information indicating a terminal type. In response to a request from the control unit 40, information indicating the terminal type can be transmitted.

Each of the terminals 1, 2,... M has extension numbers C1, C2,.
m, and this extension number is stored in the connection information management table 50-2 of the storage device 50 together with the physical port numbers A1, A2,... Am to which each terminal is physically connected.

That is, when an extension number is input based on a predetermined key operation to call another terminal from one terminal, the extension number is input to the control unit 40 via the physical port 20 and the terminal interface unit 30. The control unit 40 detects the physical port number corresponding to the extension number from the connection information management table 50-2 based on the input extension number.

Then, a terminal physically connected to the physical port 20 corresponding to the physical port number is called to set a communication path. As described above, the main device 10 identifies each terminal based on the physical port number, and performs a call, a call path setting, and the like.

The control unit 40 has a RAM (not shown)
Equipped with management program, making full use of memory pointer
The connection information management table 50-2 shown in FIG.
The password in the figure is information for uniquely identifying the user who uses each terminal, and includes the connection port number (physical port number), extension number, terminal identification number, on-hook / off-hook indicating the terminal state, and the password of the terminal. It is configured to be registered in the connection information management table 50-2 at the time of initial connection.

Specifically, a dedicated connection information input device is connected to the main device 10, and when a new terminal is connected, an administrator inputs connection information from the connection information input device and enters the connection information in the connection information management table 50-2. The connection information may be stored, or when connecting a new terminal using a computer program, the connection information may be input from the terminal side and stored in the connection information management table 50-2, and the configuration is not particularly limited. .

The connection information management table 50-2 for storing the connection information may use a RAM, and various storage media such as a magnetic disk and an optical disk can be applied as long as the medium can store at least such connection information. However, since write / read processing occurs as described later, it is more advantageous to use a random access type storage medium.

As described above, the terminal interface unit 30
Provides an interface function with each terminal together with the physical port 20. Further, the terminal interface unit 30
Detects whether or not a terminal is connected to the port numbers A1, A2,... Am of the physical ports 20 under the control of the control unit 40. These detection results are transmitted to the control unit 4
Input to 0.

The control unit 40 includes a CPU (not shown) corresponding to each physical port 20 and a ROM (not shown) storing a key telephone control program shown in the flowchart of FIG.
And the same key telephone control program as the CPU
Run under

Next, the user of the terminal 1 connected to the physical port A1 moves to the terminal 2 connected to the physical port A2, and changes the connection information registered in the terminal 1 without changing the connection information. The control program processing will be described with reference to FIG. 4 by taking as an example a case where the connection information is exchanged for continuous use.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the control program starts with the operation manager of the key telephone apparatus permitting the exchange of connection information.

The operation manager manages the operation and maintenance of the entire key telephone apparatus, and performs layout planning, terminal installation planning,
Responsible for managing and maintaining extension numbers.

After the rearrangement, the operation manager sets a predetermined terminal (for example, a connection information input device dedicated to a key telephone device) to a predetermined physical port 20 (for example, a port number A (not shown)).
n), and inputs information indicating that the exchange of the terminal connection information of the terminal before the movement and the terminal connection information of the terminal after the movement is permitted.

The input connection information exchange permission information is transferred to the control unit 40 via the terminal interface unit 30.

In step S101, it is determined whether or not connection information exchange permission information has been input. If connection information exchange permission information cannot be detected, the process proceeds to step S120 in FIG. 5 and error processing is performed. In step S102 of FIG. 4, it is determined whether or not the extension of the connection information exchange target terminal has been entered.

If it is determined in step S102 that the extension number of the connection information exchange target cannot be detected, the process proceeds to step S12.
In step S103, the terminal status column of the terminal corresponding to the input extension number in the connection information management table is initialized (on-hook state). The mode shifts to the information exchange mode, and waits for an input of a connection information exchange request from the terminal.

Thereafter, in step S105, when the off-hook of the terminal (terminal 2) for the connection information exchange request is detected, in step S106, it is determined whether or not the off-hook terminal (terminal 2) is a connection information exchange target terminal.
If the terminal is not the target terminal, the process proceeds to step S120 to perform an error process. Can be rewritten to 1.

The connection information exchange request signal input by the user following the off-hook of the terminal (terminal 2)
(A2) the control unit 4 via the terminal interface unit 30
0, and in step S108, detects the transferred connection information exchange request signal, determines whether a connection information exchange request signal has been input from the terminal (terminal 2), and if not detected, proceeds to step S120. If the processing is shifted to error processing and detected, in step S109, the terminal (terminal 2) requesting connection information exchange is notified of the connection information exchange mode, and is requested to input an extension number.

This extension number input request signal is transferred to the terminal 2 via the terminal interface 30 and A2 of the physical port 20, and is used by the user in step S110 before the movement which the user responded to and input from the terminal (terminal 2). Terminal (terminal 2) by detecting the extension number of the terminal (terminal 1)
It is determined whether or not an extension number has been input from the terminal. If the extension number of the terminal (terminal 1) before the movement cannot be detected, the process proceeds to step S120 to perform error processing. It is determined whether or not the extension number is the extension number of the connection information exchange target terminal. If the extension number is not the target terminal, the process proceeds to step S120 to perform error processing.
If it is a target terminal, in step S112, it is determined whether or not the input extension number is registered in the extension number column of the information management table.

If the result of the determination in step S112 is that the extension number has not been registered, the process proceeds to step S120, where error processing is performed. If there is registration, the input extension number and the terminal identification number in the connection information management table are used in step S113. It is determined whether or not matches.

If the result of the determination in step S113 does not match, the flow proceeds to step S120 to perform error processing. If the result matches, in step S114 of FIG. I do. This password input request is transferred to the terminal 2 via the terminal interface unit 30 and the physical port 20 (A2).

In step S115, a user-specific password input from the terminal 2 and transferred through the physical port 20 (A2) and the terminal interface unit 30 is detected and registered in the password information column of the connection information management table. It is determined whether the password matches the password corresponding to the extension number.

If the result of the determination in step S115 is inconsistent, the flow proceeds to step S120 to perform error processing. If the result is inconsistent, the physical port to which the terminal (terminal 1) used before the movement of the physical port correspondence table is connected is connected. S / W management number B1 corresponding to port number (A1) 20 and S / W management number B2 corresponding to port number (A2) of physical port 20 to which a terminal (terminal 2) to be used after moving is connected
Are exchanged (rewritten) with each other.

After rewriting the S / W management number of the physical port correspondence table in step S116, in step S117, the S / W management number correspondence of the terminal (terminal 1) used before the movement of the connection information management table is performed. (B
The physical port number 20 (A1) of 1) and the S / W management number (B2) of the terminal (terminal 2) used after the movement are exchanged (rewritten) with each other.

When the process of rewriting the physical port number in the terminal connection information management table in step S117 is completed,
As shown in FIG. 6, a state mismatch occurs between the states of the terminal 1 and the terminal 2 and the state of the connection information management table.

That is, the terminal 1 used before the movement is in the on-hook (flag 0) state, and the terminal 2 used after the movement requesting the exchange of the connection information is in the on-hook state. The physical port number of terminal 1 corresponding to the S / W management number (B1) of terminal 1 is terminal 2
And the physical port number of the terminal 2 corresponding to the S / W management number (B2) of the terminal 2 is rewritten to the physical port number (A1) of the terminal 1.

As described above, the connection information management table is in the program start state even though the terminal 1 is in the on-hook state, and the connection information management table is in the program stop state despite the terminal 2 is in the off-hook state.

Therefore, in step S118, the state of the terminal (terminal 2) after movement in the connection information management table is rewritten to on-hook (flag 0), and the S / W management number (B1) of the terminal (terminal 1) before movement is changed. The corresponding rewriting process ends (starts and stops), and S / S of the terminal (terminal 2) after moving
The rewriting process corresponding to the W management number (B2) and the rewriting process corresponding to the S / W management number (B1) of the terminal (terminal 1) before the movement are ended (start-up stopped), and the exchange process of the connection information is ended in step S119. I do.

Next, referring to FIG. 1 and FIGS.
The operation of the key telephone apparatus using the control program configured as described above will be described.

The control unit 40 controls each physical port 20 (A1,
A2... Am), a ROM (not shown) storing the programs shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 4 and 5 is provided, and executed under the CPU (not shown).

Here, the terminal 1 connected to the physical port 20 (A1) and the terminal 2 connected to the physical port 20 (A2) are not switched, and the connection information registered at the terminal 1 and the terminal 2 are not changed. The following describes an example of exchanging the connection information registered in the above.

Therefore, the user of the terminal 1 can continue to use the connection information registered at the terminal 1 at the terminal 2 of the movement destination, and the user of the terminal 2 performs any operation of exchanging the terminal connection information. The connection information registered at the terminal 2 can be continuously used at the destination terminal 1 without the need.

This control program is, as shown in FIG.
First of all, the operation and maintenance of the entire key telephone device is managed, and the operation manager of the key telephone device in charge of layout planning, terminal installation planning, extension number management and maintenance permits the exchange of terminals. .

After the rearrangement, the operation manager connects a predetermined terminal (for example, a connection information input device dedicated to a key telephone device) to a predetermined physical port 20 (for example, a port number An), and changes the terminal connection information exchange target terminal (for example, port number An). Here, the exchange processing permission information of the connection information including the extension numbers of the terminal 1 and the terminal 2) is input.

The input connection information exchange permission information is transferred to the control unit 40 via the terminal interface unit 30.

The control unit 40 determines whether connection information exchange permission information has been input (step S101 in FIG. 4).
If the connection information exchange permission information cannot be detected, the process proceeds to step S120 in FIG. 5 and error processing is performed. If the connection information exchange permission information is detected, it is determined whether the extension number of the connection information exchange target terminal has been input (S102).

If it is determined in step S102 that the extension number of the connection information exchange target cannot be detected, the process proceeds to step S120.
If the error is detected and the error is detected, the terminal status information fields of the terminals 1 and 2 corresponding to the input extension number in the connection information management table 50-2 are initialized (on-hook state) (S103). A connection information exchange mode is set, and input of a connection information exchange request from the terminals 1 and 2 is waited (S
104).

When the off-hook of the terminal 2 for the connection information exchange request is detected (S105), it is determined whether or not the terminal 2 is a connection information exchange target terminal (S106). If the target terminal is processed, the terminal status information corresponding to the terminal 2 in the connection information management table 50-2 is set to the flag 1 indicating the off-hook state.
Is set (S107). Note that the off-hook of the terminal 2 may be an off-hook by the handset or a key operation at the time of operating an on-hook dial that dials after a predetermined key operation while the handset is on-hook.

The control unit 40 determines a connection information exchange request by detecting a connection information exchange request signal input from the terminal 2 following the off-hook and transferred through the physical port 20 (A2) and the terminal interface unit 30. (S10
8) If not detected, the process proceeds to step S120 to perform error processing. If detected, the terminal 2 that has requested connection information exchange is notified of the connection information exchange mode, and also requests an extension number input. (S109).

This extension number input request signal is transferred to the terminal 2 via the terminal interface 30 and the physical port 20 (A2). In response to this, the extension number of the terminal 1 used before the movement input from the terminal 2 is input. To determine whether an extension number has been input from the terminal 2 (S11).
0), if the extension number cannot be detected, step S120
The process proceeds to step S120, and if an error is detected, it is determined whether or not the extension number of the input terminal 1 is the extension number of the connection information exchange target terminal (S111). If not, the process proceeds to step S120. The process proceeds to error processing, and if the terminal is a target terminal, it is determined whether the extension number of the input terminal 1 is registered in the extension number column of the information management table 50-2 (S112).

If the result of the determination in step S112 is that there is no extension number registration, the control unit 40 proceeds to step S12.
0, error processing is performed, and if there is a registration, it is determined whether the input extension number of the terminal 1 matches the terminal identification number of the connection information management table 50-2 (S11).
2).

If the result of the determination in step S113 is inconsistent, the process proceeds to step S120 to perform error processing. If the result is inconsistent, the terminal 2 having input the extension number is required to input a password (S114 in FIG. 5). This password input request is sent to the terminal interface unit 30, the physical port 2
0 (A2) is transferred to the terminal 2.

The control unit 40 detects a user-specific password input from the terminal 2 and transferred through the physical port 20 (A2) and the terminal interface unit 30, and detects a password information column of the connection information management table 50-2. It is determined whether or not the password matches the input password corresponding to the extension number registered in (step S115).

If the determination result in step S115 is inconsistent, the process proceeds to step S120 and error processing is performed. If the result is inconsistent, the physical port to which the terminal 1 used before the movement of the physical port correspondence table 50-1 is connected is connected. The S / W management number B1 corresponding to the port number (A1) corresponding to the port number (A1) 20 and the S / W management number B2 corresponding to the port number (A2) of the physical port 20 to which the terminal 2 to be used after the movement is connected are exchanged with each other. (Rewriting) (S116).

After rewriting the S / W management number in the physical port correspondence table 50-1 in step S116, the control unit 40 sets the S / W of the terminal 1 used before moving the connection information management table 50-2. Physical port number 20 (A1) corresponding to W management number (B1) and terminal 2 used after moving
Are exchanged (rewritten) with the S / W management number (B2) (S117).

When the rewriting of the physical port numbers in the connection information management table 50-2 in step S117 is completed, the states of the terminals 1 and 2 and the connection information management table 5
A state mismatch occurs between the state 0 and the state 0-2 as shown in FIG.

That is, the terminal 1 used before the movement is in the on-hook (flag 0) state, and the terminal 2 used after the movement requesting the exchange of the connection information is in the on-hook state. S / of terminal 2
The physical port number of the terminal 1 corresponding to the W management number (B1) is the physical port number of the terminal 2 (A2), and the S / W of the terminal 2
The physical port number of the terminal 2 corresponding to the management number (B2) has been rewritten to the physical port number (A1) of the terminal 1.

As described above, the connection information management table 50-2 is in the program start state even though the terminal 1 is in the on-hook state, and the connection information management table 50-2 is in the state where the terminal 2 is in the off-hook state. The program is stopped.

[0075]

As described above, the key telephone apparatus according to the present invention has the extension from the terminal after terminal (terminal 2) to the terminal before terminal (terminal 1) regardless of whether the key telephone terminal is inserted into or removed from the terminal physical port. By simply entering the number and the password of the user who uses the terminal (terminal 2) after moving, the connection information registered at the terminal (terminal 1) before moving can be rewritten to the terminal (terminal 2) after moving. Therefore, the user can continue to use the connection information and the service function used in the terminal 1 before the movement from the terminal (the terminal 2) after the movement.

At the same time, the connection information used by the user of the terminal (terminal 1) before the movement is rewritten to the terminal (terminal 2) after the movement, and the connection information registered from the terminal 2 before the movement. Is rewritten to the terminal 1, so that the user who has used the terminal 2 before moving does not need to perform any operation, and can continue to use the connection information and the service function used by the terminal 2 before moving. it can.

Further, since there is no need for a loopback process for monitoring the insertion and removal of the key telephone terminal with respect to the terminal physical port and a timer process for monitoring the reconnection of the key telephone terminal, hardware and software are simplified.

Further, since the operation of exchanging the connection information is performed under the management of the operation manager, it is possible to avoid a trouble on the system due to the simultaneous operation of the operation manager and the operation from the terminal side. .
