DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

The configuration of this embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is applied to the PB telephone 101 in the caller number notification service in the telephone network.
Sends a special number dial of the PB sound signal to the telephone exchange 102. The telephone exchange 102 receives the special number dial of the PB sound signal, and the PB sound receiver 103 and the PB sound telephone 10 receive the special number dial.
Connect with 1. The announcement device 104 is a PB
An announcement for prompting the subscriber of the telephone set 101 to input an arbitrary caller ID or callee ID is transmitted. Storage device 1
Reference numeral 05 records in the memory the number information obtained by converting the caller number notified to the arbitrarily designated recipient from the subscriber of the PB telephone 101. The control device 106 controls the telephone exchange 102 and the PB tone receiver. It controls the operations of 103, announcement device 104 and storage device 106.

With the configuration of the present embodiment, in this way, the telephone exchange 102 uses the PB sound receiver 103, which is an internal device thereof, to allow the calling subscriber to receive the PB telephone 101.
Thus, it is possible to receive an arbitrarily designated caller number or called number as a PB sound, convert it into number information, record it in the storage device 105, and use it for a telephone exchange operation.

The calling subscriber is the PB telephone 101.
Dial a special number (183 or the like) for activating the service system using the telephone, and the telephone exchange 102 that receives the special number captures the PB sound receiver 103, and the PB telephone 1
01 by connecting the line, PB sound receiver 103
Can receive a PB signal from the PB telephone 101 and convert it into number information.

Further, the telephone exchange 102 captures the announcement device 104 and connects the line with the PB telephone 101 to transmit an announcement for prompting the input of an arbitrary caller number or called party number to join. Can be heard by others. When the PB sound receiver is a public telephone, it is also possible to automatically dial a special number + an arbitrary caller number with a card.

When the transmission signal can be extended, such as a mobile phone or an ISDN terminal, it is possible to add a new calling number designated by the subscriber and notify the telephone exchange from the terminal. At this time, a designated number (185 or the like) for notifying the called party of any calling number designated by the calling subscriber is prepared.

FIG. 2 is a communication sequence diagram for explaining the operation of this embodiment. In FIG. 2, the calling subscriber dials a special number (183, etc.) of the PB signal for activating the service system using the PB telephone 101, so that the PB telephone 101 sends the activation signal to the telephone exchange 102. 204 is transmitted. Upon receiving the special number, the telephone exchange 102 sets the confirmation signal 205 and the response signal 206 to P
It returns to the B telephone 101.

Further, the telephone exchange 102 captures the PB tone receiver 103 and prepares so that the calling subscriber can use the PB telephone 101 to receive an arbitrary caller number to be dialed next. At that time, the announcement device 10
Enter the desired caller ID using PB telephone 101
Prompt the originating subscribers of.

Upon receiving the PB signal 208 of an arbitrary caller number, the telephone exchange 102 resets the PB sound receiver 103, and the calling subscriber uses the PB telephone 101 to set the called number to be dialed next. The PB sound receiver 103 is prepared for reception. At that time, the announcement 209 of the announcement device 104 is used to prompt the subscriber of the originating PB telephone 101 to input the called number.

Upon receiving the PB signal 210 of the called number from the PB telephone 101, the telephone exchange 102 uses the arbitrary calling number to activate the start signal 2 to the destination specified by the called number.
11 is transmitted. The following operation is similar to that of a normal telephone exchange.

In this way, even if a call is made from a public telephone or a private telephone that cannot correctly notify the caller's number, the caller can specify the number specified by the caller as the caller's number.
