Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a VoIP system and a VoIP terminal that perform initialization based on an initialization table received from a server.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Currently, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) systems are commercially available. Some VoIP terminals can switch incoming telephone numbers. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, a sales department has extensions 5001, 5002, and 5003, and three VoIP terminals can use each of them while switching extension numbers. Some have a one-touch key function of dialing a telephone number corresponding to the key. In some cases, both of these functions are provided, and this operation is performed by a line key corresponding to the position of the telephone number displayed on the display unit. The number is assigned to the line key by setting.
[0003]
VoIP settings include USER ID, IP address, ringtone, etc., in addition to the line key. These settings are initialized when the power is turned on or when a reset operation is performed. The initialization is performed based on an initialization file downloaded from a server on the LAN to which the VoIP is connected (for example, see Patent Document 1).
[0004]

[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Conventionally, VoIP settings are initialized by overwriting the server's initialization file as it is. However, when there are many initialization items due to the multi-function of VoIP, it takes time to input the initialization file, and there are many items. There is a problem that it is difficult to see the initialization file.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The VoIP system and the VoIP telephone terminal of the present invention have been made in view of such a point, and the control means of the VoIP telephone terminal does not change the contents of the setting items of the setting table which are not in the initial setting file in the initialization. The contents of the setting items of the setting table which have the same item but do not have the same item in the initial setting file are deleted.
[0007]
As a result, only the items to be changed are input in the initial setting file, and the contents of the items whose contents have been deleted are left blank, so that the initial setting file can be created with very little input.
[0008]
The control means may operate the line key as a one-touch key for calling a displayed telephone number, or operate the line key as a called number key for setting the displayed telephone number as a called number. In the VoIP system that performs the selection based on the setting table,
The control means of the VoIP telephone terminal includes: a line key item in which the contents of the setting table that are not in the initialization file in the initialization and the contents of the setting table before initialization are the telephone numbers of the terminal; Delete the contents of the item.
[0009]
As a result, even if no item is entered in the initial setting file, the telephone number of the terminal is deleted, so that the telephone number does not overlap with another VoIP telephone.
[0010]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a main part of the VoIP system of the present embodiment.

[0018]
Next, the initialization operation of the present invention will be described. A setting table having the contents shown in FIG. 3 is stored in the RAM (53) of the VoIP telephone terminal A (5). An initialization file having the contents shown in FIG. 4 is stored in the RAM (43) of the server (4).
[0019]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation (subroutine) of initialization of the VoIP telephone terminal A (5). In FIG. 5, N is a variable stored in a register (not shown) inside the control circuit (52), and indicates a number of an item.
[0020]
When the power of the VoIP telephone terminal A (5) is turned on, the control circuit (52) requests the control circuit (42) of the server (4) to transmit an initial setting file (S1) and stores it in the RAM (43). The received initialization file is received (S2). The variable N is set to 1 (S3), and the N-th item is set as an initialization target item (4). If the N-th item is present in the initialization file received from the server (4) (Y in S5) and the content of the item is present (Y in S6), the RAM (53) of the VoIP telephone terminal A (5) is set. The contents of the Nth item in the table are rewritten to the contents of the initialization file (S7). Then, the variable N is incremented by one (S9), and if the N-th exists (Y in S10), the process returns to step S4. That is, if it is not the last item, the processing of the next item is repeated. If the N-th does not exist (N in S10), it is determined that the processing for all the items has been completed, and the initialization subroutine ends (RETURN).
[0021]
As described above, when it is desired to set the specified contents in the initialization, the items and contents may be input to the initialization file.
[0022]
If there is no content in the item of the initial setting file in step S6 (N in S6), the content of the Nth item in the setting table of the RAM (53) of the VoIP telephone terminal A (5) is deleted (S8).
[0023]
As described above, when the contents are to be deleted by the initialization, it is sufficient to input only the items in the initialization file.
[0024]
If there is no N-th item in the initialization file received from the server (4) in step S5 (N in S5), and the contents before the initialization do not relate to the telephone number (extension number) of the terminal. (N of S11), the content of the item is not changed.
[0025]
As described above, when it is desired to maintain the contents in the initialization, it is only necessary to input an item in the initialization file.
[0026]
The Nth item is not present in the initialization file received from the server (4) in step S5 (N in S5), and the contents of the item before initialization relate to the line key of the telephone number (extension number) of the terminal. If it is (Y of S11), the process proceeds to step S8 to delete the contents of the Nth item in the setting table of the RAM (53) of the VoIP telephone terminal A (5).
[0027]
As described above, even if no item is entered in the initial setting file, the telephone number of the terminal is deleted, and the telephone number does not overlap with another VoIP telephone.
[0028]
A specific example of initialization will be described. FIG. 3 is a setting table of the RAM (53) of the VoIP telephone terminal A (5) before performing the initialization processing. FIG. 4 shows an initialization file received by the VoIP telephone terminal A (5) from the server (4). FIG. 6 is a setting table of the RAM (53) of the VoIP telephone terminal A (5) after performing the initialization processing.
[0029]
In the setting table of FIG. 3 before initialization, only the numbers 18 to 35 are line key items, and the numbers 18 to 26 are the contents related to the line key of the telephone number of the terminal. In the initialization file of FIG. 4, only items 1 to 20 are input. Only the content of item 15 is not input.
[0030]
When the data of FIG. 3 is initialized by this initialization file, as shown in FIG. 6, the extension ring tone of number 16 is rewritten from pattern3 to pattern1, and the external ring tone of number 17 is written from melody1 to pattern2. Can be replaced.
[0031]
The contents of the setting table of No. 15 in which the items are inputted but the contents are not inputted in the initial setting file are deleted. As a result, the voicemail server address voicemail. v. 1234. jp is deleted.
[0032]
The contents of the setting tables of numbers 27 to 35 in which no items have been input in the initial setting file are maintained.
[0033]
Although no items have been entered in the initial setting file, the setting tables of numbers 21 to 26 in which the items of the setting table relate to the telephone number of the terminal are deleted.
[0034]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the setting table in which the items and contents are input in the initial setting file is rewritten according to the setting file, and the setting table in which the items are input but the contents are not input in the initial setting file. Is deleted, and the contents of the setting table in which no items are entered in the initial setting file are maintained.
[0035]
As a result, only the items to be changed are input in the initial setting file, and the contents of the items whose contents have been deleted are left blank, so that the initial setting file can be created with a very small number of inputs.
[0036]
Also, in the present invention, although the item is not input to the initial setting file, the contents of the line key in which the item of the setting table before the initialization is the telephone number of the terminal is deleted. As a result, the telephone number of the terminal is deleted even if no item is entered in the initialization file, so that the telephone number does not overlap with other VoIP telephones.
