Services such as ticket reservations are provided to members. In addition, even in a management company that manages maintenance personnel who maintain information devices such as customers' computers, connect the telephone device to the line of the exchange that provides the caller telephone number notification service, and notify the telephone device side when receiving a call. In addition to authenticating that the person is the maintenance person based on the telephone number of the sender, the provided maintenance service is provided to the certified maintenance person.

[0003]

However, unless the member or maintenance person changes his / her telephone number due to a move or the like and does not report it, a third party will newly make a new telephone number of the member or maintenance person. If a new contracted third party calls the above-mentioned ticket reservation service providing company or the management company that manages the maintenance person, the third party makes an unfair ticket reservation service. There is a problem such as receiving the maintenance service or receiving the maintenance service from the management company that manages the maintenance person. For this reason, there is a demand for accurately authenticating the sender based on the information notified at the time of the incoming call and providing the above service only when the sender is the sender.

Therefore, the present invention prevents the accidental provision of service to a third party by properly authenticating the member or the maintainer himself based on the information notified at the time of the incoming call. With the goal.

[0005]

In order to solve such a problem, the present invention notifies a called party of information of a calling party including a telephone number and a name of the calling party via a line when the calling party makes a call. A telephone device that is connected to the line of the exchange and that has a database in which telephone numbers and names are associated with each other and registered, and is notified from the exchange when an incoming call arrives on the line based on a caller's call. Receiving means for receiving the information of the transmitting side, comparing means for comparing the information of the transmitting side received by the receiving means with the registered information of the database, and the result of the comparison of the comparing means, the information of the transmitting side. A control means is provided to provide a predetermined service when the registered information in the database matches and the identity of the sender is authenticated.

In this case, a notification means is provided, and as a result of the comparison by the comparison means, the notification means matches the caller telephone number included in the information of the calling side with the telephone number of the database, If the name included in the information does not match the name in the database, the sender is notified that the name is not registered. Further, as a result of comparison by the comparing means, the name included in the information of the calling side and the name of the database match, and the caller telephone number included in the information of the calling side does not match the telephone number of the database. Is provided with transfer means for transferring an incoming call based on the caller's call to a predetermined transfer destination. Further, the comparing means has a judging means for judging whether the name included in the information of the calling side and the name of the database match, and the judging means has at least one of the name included in the information of the calling side and the name of the database. When the parts match, it is determined that both names match. Further, the comparing means has a judging means for judging whether the name included in the information of the calling side and the name of the database match, and the judging means preliminarily compares the name included in the information of the calling side and the name of the database. When the parts other than the specified character string match, it is determined that both names match.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart of the present telephone device that performs the above operation. The example of FIG. 6 shows the operation of the control unit 3 of the telephone device 10 of FIG. 1, but the same applies to the operation of the cordless telephone device of FIG. 2 and the operation of the button telephone device of FIG. Here, the operation of the control unit 3 of the telephone device 10 of FIG. 1 will be described as a typical example.

When the telephone device 10 of FIG. 1 is arranged at a service providing company that provides a ticket reservation service, when the user makes a call to the telephone device 10 to receive the service, the telephone device 10 is An incoming call arrives. In this case, the control unit 3 of the telephone device 10 operates in step S
When "Is the call received?" Of 21 is determined to be "Y", it is determined in steps S22 and S23 whether or not the caller telephone number and the caller's name have been previously notified from the destination exchange 200 side prior to this call. . Here, when receiving a call, the destination exchange 2
If the caller telephone number and caller name have not been notified from the 00 side, error processing is performed in step S29.

On the other hand, when the incoming exchange receives the incoming caller's telephone number and the incoming caller's name from the destination exchange 200 side and these are received and stored in the memory 4, the process proceeds to step S24. In step S24, the notified sender name is searched in the database 9. Then, it is determined in step S25 whether or not the notified caller name is registered in the database 9.

Here, if the caller name notified from the destination exchange 200 is registered in the database 9,
The control unit 3 searches the database 9 for the caller telephone number notified from the destination exchange 200 side in step S26. Then, it is determined in step S27 whether or not the notified caller telephone number is registered in the database 9. When the caller telephone number notified from the destination exchange 200 side is registered in the database 9,
Since the caller telephone number and the caller's name notified from the destination exchange 200 are both registered in the database 9, it is authenticated that the user (caller) is the original person, and the call is answered in step S28. Then, the ticket reservation service for users is started.

On the other hand, if the caller name notified from the destination exchange 200 is not registered in the database 9 and the determination in step S25 is "N", a mismatch process is performed in step S30. In this disagreement process, in response to an incoming call, a voice message "Your name is not registered." Is sent to the user from the voice synthesizer circuit (not shown) via the outside lines L1 and L2, or is not shown. For example, an alarm sound is sent from the sound source circuit to notify the unregistered person, and the outside lines L1 and L2 are opened.

Further, the caller name notified from the destination exchange 200 side is registered in the database 9, and the caller telephone number notified from the destination exchange 200 side is not registered in the database 9 and the step S27 is executed. Even when the determination is “N”, the mismatch processing is performed in step S30. In this disagreement process, after the incoming call is answered, the incoming call is transferred to a predetermined transfer destination. That is, the destination exchange 200
If the caller name notified from the side is registered in the database 9 and the notified caller telephone number notified from the destination exchange 200 side is not registered in the database 9, the call is sent to this device. Even though the user is a member who has already contracted with the ticket reservation service company and is registered in the database 9, it is determined that the telephone number has changed due to moving or the like, and a new telephone number of the user is newly determined. In response to the above-mentioned incoming call, a voice message "Your telephone number is not registered. Please register it." Is sent from the voice synthesizer circuit (not shown) In addition to sending, the call is sent to the operator of the transfer destination specified in advance through another line (not shown), and when the response of the transfer destination is detected, the call from the user is sent. An incoming call based on the transfer to the transfer destination. As a result, the transfer destination operator registers a new telephone number notified by the user instead of the old telephone number of the user in the database 9.

As described above, the telephone device 10 receives the caller telephone number and the caller name notified from the destination exchange 200 when receiving a call, and the received caller telephone number and caller name are registered in the database 9. If the received caller telephone number and caller name are registered in the database 9, the user is authenticated and the ticket is issued to the user. The reservation service of is allowed.

In the flow chart of FIG. 6, it is determined in step S25 whether or not the caller name notified from the destination exchange 200 is registered in the database 9, and if it is determined that the caller name is registered, The presence / absence of registration in the database 9 of the caller telephone number notified from the local exchange 200 is determined in step 27. These steps are exchanged and the database 9 of the sender telephone number notified from the destination exchange 200 is replaced. If it is determined in step S25 that the caller telephone number is registered, it is determined in step S27 whether or not the caller name database 9 notified from the destination exchange 200 is registered, If the sender name is not registered, the mismatch processing in step S30 may be performed.

The above operation example is an example of controlling the availability of the ticket reservation service by the telephone device 10. However, the telephone device 10 manages a maintenance person who maintains information equipment such as a customer's computer. The same applies when it is placed in a company. That is, when the incoming call arrives, the destination exchange 20
The caller's telephone number and caller's name notified from 0 are received, and the maintenance person is authenticated by determining whether or not these are registered in the database 9, and the caller's telephone number and caller's received When the person's name is registered in the database 9, the maintenance service is authorized to authenticate the maintenance worker himself and allows the maintenance service to recruit the maintenance worker.

By the way, in the database 9, for example, "XX Co., Ltd.", "XX Co., Ltd.", "XX Co., Ltd."
Also, register an official sender name such as "(○) Co.,"
Formal caller name notified from the destination exchange 200 when an incoming call is received, "XX Co., Ltd.", "XX Co., Ltd.", "○ Co., Ltd."
It is determined whether or not the name is registered in the database 9 by comparing with "○" and "(shares) ○○". Here, the database 9 has "○○ Co., Ltd."
"○○ Co., Ltd.", "○○ Co., Ltd." and "(○) Co., Ltd."
Instead of registering a formal sender name such as, replace "shares" or "(shares)" with a specific code "*",
If you register as "○○ *" and "* ○○", you can easily register.

When the caller name is registered in the database 9 in this way, the caller name notified from the destination exchange 200 at the time of an incoming call is "○○ Co., Ltd."
Since the caller name is an official caller name such as “Corporation”, “○○ Co., Ltd.” and “(Corporation) ○○”, the control unit 3 of the telephone device 10 makes a call sent from the destination exchange 200. When comparing the person's name and the sender's name in the database 9, after converting the predetermined character strings “corporation” or “(shares)” notified from the destination exchange 200 into the specific code “*”, Compare with the sender name in the database 9. Further, in this case, the predetermined character string "corporation" or "(shares)" notified from the destination exchange 200 and the specific code "*" in the database 9 are not compared and these character strings are not compared. "○○" from the destination exchange 200 and "○○" in the database 9 are compared with each other except for "shares", "(shares)" and the specific code "*". Further, only "○○" is registered in the database 9 without registering "*", and the predetermined character strings "corporation" and "(shares)" notified from the destination exchange 200 are excluded and "○" is excluded. By comparing "○" with "○○" in the database 9, the name registration can be further simplified.

[0040]

As described above, according to the present invention, when a caller makes a call, the caller's information including the caller's telephone number and name is sent to the caller's line via the line. The telephone device, which is connected and has a database in which telephone numbers and names are associated with each other and registered, receives the information of the caller notified from the exchange when the call arrives at the line based on the caller's call. And a comparing means for comparing the information on the transmitting side and the registered information in the database received by the receiving means. As a result of the comparison by the comparing means, the information on the transmitting side and the registered information on the database are When it is confirmed that the caller is the same as the caller, the predetermined service is provided.
