  The present invention relates to an extension mobile phone system of a company, and even if the mobile phone is registered and moved to a different geographical location, a call is automatically made using the same mobile terminal. It is characterized by being able to do it.

  Conventionally, extension telephone terminals such as on-premises PHS (personal handy phone system) cannot be used even if they are in different locations, for example, geographically separated offices. You had to rent a mobile device registered at the office or consciously assign a number to the mobile device you are currently using.

  For example, in the incoming phone number registration method, when a person who has moved performs a phone number registration operation at the destination, calls that are addressed to that phone number are transferred to the incoming call. Registration operation must be performed. In addition, if the user forgets the registration operation after moving, the call addressed to him / her will be transferred indefinitely, and the exchange side cannot detect forgotten registration operation.

  For example, in the invention described in Patent Document 1, when a mobile device moves to an area other than the mobile communication control device with which the mobile device is originally registered, a temporary device that can be used only in the area after moving to the mobile device. A number is assigned, and when there is an incoming call addressed to the original number given in the area of the mobile communication control device in which it is originally registered, control is performed so that it is transferred to the temporary number. .

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of an embodiment of a local telephone automatic registration system according to the present invention.

  In FIG. 1, each of exchanges 10A, 10B, and 10C is a private branch exchange that exchanges telephones for transceivers 20A, 20B, and 20C and other telephones using ID DBs 11A, 11B, and 11C, respectively.

  Each of these exchanges 10A to 10C is installed at each business office in the company, and is interconnected by, for example, a private network 1 to form an internal network in the company.

  The ID DBs 11A to 11C are the wireless IDs 21A, 21B and 11C of the users of the transceivers 20A, 20B and 20C to be exchanged, the telephone numbers of the areas where the transceivers 20A to 20C originally exist and the current ones. The phone number of the area is memorized. Here, if the area where the current transmitter / receiver exists is not the area where it originally exists, it also has a timer indicating the valid time of the telephone number that can be used in the area where it currently exists.

  Here, the area in which each of the transceivers 20A to 20C is originally registered is called a home area.

  Each of the vacant number DBs 12A, 12B, and 12C is a database that stores temporary telephone numbers, that is, vacant telephone numbers for each area that can be added to the transceiver that has moved.

  Each of the position detectors 13A, 13B, and 13C is a device that detects the location of the transceivers 20A to 20C. Specifically, a function of transmitting an inquiry to the transceivers 20A to 20C and a function of receiving a response thereof have. Each of the position detectors 13A to 13C is arranged so as to cover all the respective areas.

  Each of the number distributors 14A, 14B, and 14C has a temporary telephone number that is valid only within the area to which the transceivers 20A to 20C are moved, and an ID that identifies each of the transceivers 20A to 20C. It is an apparatus which transmits with respect to each of -20C.

  Each of the transceivers 20A to 20C is a device in which each of the wireless IDs 21A, 21B, and 21 is added to the function of the conventional transceiver.

  Each of the wireless IDs 21A to 21C has a function of wirelessly transmitting an ID possessed by itself to an area signal from the outside, and can be configured by RFID or the like.

  Although the configuration of the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the private branch exchanges 10A to 10C in FIG. 1 are well known to those skilled in the art and are not directly related to the present invention. The detailed explanation is omitted.

  Next, the operation of the local telephone automatic registration system of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, an operation when a transceiver, that is, a mobile device moves across an area will be described.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a flowchart of processing when any of the users of the transceiver shown in FIG. 1 moves from the home area to another area.

  Here, it is assumed that automatic registration when the user of the transmitter / receiver 20A having the area A as the home area moves to the area B is assumed. Here, the home area means an area having a telephone number originally registered in the transceiver 20.

  When the user of the transceiver 20A moves to the area B, the wireless ID 21A of the transceiver 20A receives an area signal transmitted by, for example, a wireless LAN from the position detector 13B installed at the entrance of the area B ( Step (S101) in FIG.

  The transceiver 20A that has received the signal from the position detector 13B unconditionally transmits its own ID via the wireless LAN via the wireless ID 21A (S102). The position detector 13B transfers the signal received from the wireless ID 21A to the exchange 10B.

  The exchange 10B searches the ID DB 11B using the ID sent from the transceiver 20A as a key (S103), and if it recognizes that the home area of the transceiver 20A is not the area B, it searches for an unused number in the area B from the unused number DB 12B. Then, the number is transmitted to the transceiver 20A via the number distributor 14B (S104). Specifically, the transceiver 20A has an address common to all the transceivers 20, and the number distributor 14B transmits the telephone number assigned to the ID of the transceiver 20A to the address.

  When the transmitter / receiver 20A receives the vacant number distribution signal from the number distributor 14B, if the receiver ID added to the signal matches its own, the transmitter / receiver 20A sets the telephone number added to the signal to its temporary number. Is registered as a temporary telephone number (S105), and when these processes are completed, a signal indicating that a series of processes has been normally completed is returned to the exchange 10B. Upon receiving this signal, the exchange 10B registers this telephone number in the ID DB 11B, informs the exchange 10A that the transceiver 20A exists in the area B, and transmits an incoming call transfer request of the transceiver 20A.

  Upon receiving the incoming transfer request from the exchange 10B, the exchange 10A changes the information about the transceiver 20A in the ID DB 11A, and stores information indicating that the transfer destination is the exchange 10B.

  Here, when the information in the ID DB 11A is updated so that the current location of the transceiver 20A is the area B, the location of the transceiver 20A registered in the ID DB 11A before the change is the area C. If the area is different from the home area, the exchange 10A transmits a transfer stop request signal to the exchange before movement (the exchange 10C in this case).

  A timer is set in the information of the transceiver 20A registered in the ID DB 11B, and the timer is refreshed when receiving a response of an area signal transmitted periodically from the position detector 13B. Further, when the timer elapses for a certain time, the temporary telephone number assigned to the transceiver 20A is released, and the exchange 10B transmits a transfer stop request signal to the exchange 10A.

  Next, an operation when a transceiver, that is, a mobile device receives a call will be described.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a flowchart of processing when one of the transceivers shown in FIG. 1 receives an incoming call.

  When the exchange 10A receives an incoming call addressed to the transmitter / receiver 20A from the outside, the exchange 10A searches the ID DB 11A and recognizes that the corresponding transmitter / receiver 20A is in area B. The telephone number currently used by the transmitter / receiver 20A (here) Then, a temporary telephone number in area B is acquired (step (S201) in FIG. 3), and the number is transferred to the exchange 10B. When it is confirmed that the transferred number is addressed to its own area, the exchange 10B transfers the address to the transceiver 20A (S202).

  Next, the operation when the transceiver, that is, the mobile device returns to the home area from other than the home area will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a flowchart of processing performed when any of the users of the transceiver illustrated in FIG. 1 returns to the home area from other than the home area.

  Here, the operation when the user of the transceiver 20A having the area A as the home area moves from the area B to the area A which is the home area will be described.

  The wireless ID 21A of the transceiver 20A that has returned from the area B to the area A receives the area signal transmitted by the wireless LAN from the position detector 13A installed at the entrance of the area A (step (S301) in FIG. 4). ).

  The transceiver 20A that has received the signal from the position detector 13A unconditionally transmits its own ID via the wireless LAN via the wireless ID 21A (S302). The position detector 13A transfers the signal received from the wireless ID 21A to the exchange 10A.

When the exchange 10A searches the ID DB 11A (S303) and recognizes that the transceiver 20A has returned from the area B to the home area A, the transceiver terminal stored in the ID DB 11A via the number distributor 14A. The original telephone number of 20A is transmitted to the transmitting / receiving terminal 20A together with the ID. (S304)
When the transmitting / receiving terminal 20A receives its own ID and the original telephone number from the number distributor 14A, the transmitting / receiving terminal 20A recognizes that it has returned to the home area and releases the temporary number in the area B that it has had so far. (S305), to that effect is transmitted to the exchange 10A. When it is confirmed that the transceiver 10A has released the area B number, the exchange 10A transmits an incoming call transfer stop signal to the exchange 10B.

  Upon receiving this signal, the exchange 10B discards the information of the transceiver 20A stored in the ID DB 11B, updates the given telephone number, and adds the number to the free ID DB 12B.

  Further, in the present invention, even when a call is made from an area other than the home area, the ID DBs 11A to 11C are searched using the temporarily given telephone number as a key, and the original telephone number is obtained temporarily. It is also possible to call the original telephone number as the outgoing telephone number instead of the correct telephone number.

  Further, by adding an area ID to signals transmitted from the position detectors 13A to 13C, when the transceivers 20A to 20C receive signals from the position detectors 13A to 13C, the transceivers 20A to 20C receive the received areas. It is also possible to reduce the processing in the private branch exchanges 10A to 10C and the position detectors 13A to 13C by comparing the ID with the area ID received from the previous position detectors 13A to 13C and transmitting their own IDs only when they are different. It is. Alternatively, the ID DBs 11A to 11C can be provided by installing the position detectors 13A to 13C at the entrances and exits of the areas and allocating / releasing temporary telephone numbers when the transmission / reception terminals 20A to 20C enter and exit the areas. It is also possible to eliminate the need for the timer processing and position detector to cover all areas.

It is a block diagram which shows schematic structure of one Embodiment of the local telephone automatic registration system by this invention. It is a figure which shows the flowchart of a process when any user of the transmitter / receiver shown in FIG. 1 moves from a home area to another area. It is a figure which shows the flowchart of a process when either of the transmitter / receivers shown in FIG. 1 receives.
