Description

  The present invention relates to a telephone device connected to a digital telephone line for performing a telephone call by digital data communication, and more particularly to a telephone apparatus connected to a plurality of telephone lines including a digital telephone line.

  Conventionally, a telephone device is basically used to make a call between two parties, a calling party and a called party. In a public switched telephone network (abbreviated as PSTN), a calling party and a called party are selectively connected by an exchange. The calling side and called side telephone devices and the exchange are individually connected by a signal line called a subscriber line, and a telephone call is made using a baseband analog signal.

In recent years, digital communication networks such as the Internet have been developed, and VoIP (Voice over
It is also possible to make telephone calls using the Internet Protocol. In a telephone call via the Internet, a communication partner is specified by an IP address on a server connected to the Internet. Data communication in the Internet can be performed in a sufficiently wide band compared to the communication band required for telephone calls. The communication band between the server and the terminal for telephone call can be sufficiently widened by using a broadband communication line. This communication is relatively easy to multiplex, and physically a plurality of communication lines can be accommodated in a single communication line.

  Furthermore, xDSL technology such as ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) can superimpose high-frequency digital signals on PSTN subscriber lines to accommodate analog call lines and multiple digital call lines. . In addition, it is easy to accommodate a plurality of digital telephone lines more stably by optical fiber technologies such as FTTH (Fiber To The Home) and FTTB (Fiber To The Building).

  In a conventional analog telephone system, a so-called “Catch Phone (registered trademark)” service is widely used. In the “Catch Phone” service, when a new incoming call occurs during a call, the incoming call is temporarily held by the exchange, and a voice signal for notification is superimposed on the call path to the called party during the call. Inform that there was an incoming call. When it is desired to respond to a new incoming call, the called party gives an instruction to the exchange by a hooking operation. The exchange puts the ongoing call on hold, connects the incoming call that has been put on hold, and starts the call.

  In addition, in the case of using a digital line having at least two call channels in one line and using a plurality of call lines in one terminal, such as an integrated digital network (Integrated Services Digital Network), A “call waiting” service similar to the analog telephone system is also widely used. On the other hand, telephone devices having functions such as so-called “pseudo call waiting” and “pseudo call waiting” are also widely used. In the telephone device having these functions, the function that the exchange performs in the analog telephone system can be performed on the terminal side.

  In these so-called “catch phone” services, when there is an incoming call during a call, an incoming call notification signal is given unconditionally to the callee, and a call signal is given unconditionally to the caller.

  On the analog telephone system, when a new incoming call occurs during a call, the incoming call can be received once at the exchange and the message can be recorded, and the call is returned from the exchange after the call ends. A so-called “Catch Phone II” service that informs that there is an incoming call during a call is also widely used. In the “Catch Phone II” service, an incoming call notification signal may or may not be given to a called party during a call.

  If the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1 is used, a terminal similar to the above “Catch Phone II” service, which can input a message when the other party making a call is talking to a third party, is not a switch but a terminal Can be realized.

  If the technology disclosed in Patent Document 2 is used, when a voice call is impossible, such as during a call, the incoming call response means executes processing such as outputting a message to the sender that the voice call is impossible A telephone terminal that can be used can be realized.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-115469 JP 2004-128553 A

  In a conventional “Catch Phone” and “Catch Phone II”, a voice call system such as Patent Document 1, and a telephone terminal such as Patent Document 2, if there is an incoming call during a call, what is the other party and the caller during the call? Even if it is a serious opponent, the movement is decided uniformly.

  For example, in the “catch phone” service, even when an important customer is in a business talk, if an erroneous call or an unimportant business contact is received, an incoming call notification signal is received, so that the concentration on the important business talk is lost. On the other hand, in the “Catch Phone II” service, if you set it to not give an incoming call notification signal, even if you receive an important call that requires an urgent response while making an unimportant call, it is important Until you finish the call, you can't even know that an important call has arrived.

  Also, if the person who called you is using the “Catch Phone” service and you are on a call, the caller will always hear the ringing tone, so that the other party is absent or talks Cannot judge whether it is inside.

When the other party information during a call cannot be acquired from the memory 17, that is, when the unacquired information is acquired from the memory 17, the telephone control unit 2 proceeds to step a3.

  In step a2, the telephone control unit 2 searches the rejected call partner information stored in the determination criterion information storage unit 27, and determines whether or not the call partner information is set as the rejected call partner information. . In other words, the telephone control unit 2 determines whether or not the acquired call partner information matches the rejected call partner information stored in the determination criterion information storage unit 27. If they match, the process proceeds to step a7. If they do not match, the process proceeds to step a3.

  In step a <b> 3, the telephone control unit 2 acquires caller partner information from the caller telephone number detection unit 46. When the telephone control unit 2 acquires the calling party information, the process proceeds to step a4. The telephone control unit 2 proceeds to step a6 when the caller partner information cannot be acquired.

  In step a4, the telephone control unit 2 searches the rejection caller partner information stored in the determination criterion information storage unit 27, and determines whether or not the caller partner information is set as the rejection caller partner information. . In other words, the telephone control unit 2 determines whether or not the acquired transmission source partner information matches the rejection transmission source partner information stored in the determination criterion information storage unit 27. If they match, the process proceeds to step a7. When they do not match, the process proceeds to step a5.

  In step a5, the telephone control unit 2 uses the priority information 61 stored in the determination criterion information storage unit 27, based on the priority information 61 related to the caller of the incoming call information, and the priority information related to the other party during the telephone call. 61 is obtained. The telephone control unit 2 compares the priorities of the opponents using the priority information 61 regarding the opponents. When the priority of the other party of the incoming call information is higher than the priority of the other party during the telephone call, or when the priority of the other party of the incoming call information is equal to the priority of the other party during the telephone call, Proceed to step a6. When the priority of the other party of the incoming call information is lower than the priority of the other party during the telephone call, the process proceeds to step a7.

  In step a6, the telephone control unit 2 determines that the incoming information is captured by the VoIP control unit 43, assuming that the partner information satisfies the criterion information. Then, the telephone control unit 2 ends the capture determination process.

  In step a7, the telephone control unit 2 determines that the incoming information is not captured by the VoIP control unit 43, assuming that the partner information does not satisfy the criterion information. Then, the telephone control unit 2 ends the capture determination process.

Thus, even when the connection is made not only to the ADSL line 4 but also to the PSTN line 5, the convenience can be improved.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the telephone control unit 2 causes busy response information to be transmitted as response information predetermined by the VoIP control unit 43 to the caller of the incoming information. Therefore, when the other party information does not satisfy the judgment criterion information, the other party of the incoming call information can receive busy response information.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the predetermined response information can be arbitrarily set, so that the operator can set the predetermined response information based on his / her own judgment. As a result, an easy-to-understand response can be returned to the caller of the incoming information.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the determination criterion information storage unit 27 indicates, as the determination criterion information, one or a plurality of incoming call information senders whose incoming information is not captured by the VoIP control unit 43 during a telephone call. Rejected sender information is stored. The telephone control unit 2 does not cause the VoIP control unit 43 to capture the incoming information, assuming that the other party information does not satisfy the criterion information when the sender's partner information indicating the sender of the incoming information matches the rejected sender's partner information. . Therefore, by storing in the judgment criterion information storage unit 27 the incoming caller of the incoming call information that you do not want to be captured during the telephone call, as the rejected caller remote party information, The incoming information can be prevented from being captured.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the determination criterion information storage unit 27 stores, as the determination criterion information, a rejected call indicating one or a plurality of other parties during a telephone call that are not captured by the VoIP control unit 43 during a telephone call. Middle partner information is stored. The telephone control unit 2 does not cause the VoIP control unit 43 to capture the incoming information, assuming that the other party information does not satisfy the criterion information when the other party information indicating the other party during the telephone call matches the other party information during the rejection call. . Therefore, by storing the other party in the telephone call that does not want to capture the incoming information during the telephone call in the judgment reference information storage unit 27 as the other party information in the rejected telephone call, the incoming incoming call during the telephone call with the other party is stored. Information can be prevented from being captured.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the determination criterion information storage unit 27 indicates, as the determination criterion information, the respective priorities of a plurality of predetermined opponents and the priorities of opponents other than the predetermined plural opponents. Priority information 61 is stored. The telephone control unit 2 uses the priority information 61 regarding the other party of the incoming call information and the priority information 61 regarding the other party during the telephone call, and compares the priorities of the other parties to determine whether the other party information is the criterion information. It is determined whether or not the above is satisfied.

  Specifically, the telephone control unit 2 is configured such that when the priority of the other party of the incoming call information is higher than the priority of the other party during the telephone call, or when the priorities of the respective parties are equal, The incoming call information is captured by 43. The telephone control unit 2 does not cause the VoIP control unit 43 to capture incoming information when the priority of the other party of the incoming information is lower than the priority of the other party during the telephone call. Therefore, when a call is received from an unimportant party during a call with an important party, the operator can continue the call with a more important party without being interrupted. On the other hand, when a call is received from a more important party during a call with an unimportant party, it is possible to interrupt the call with an unimportant party and answer a call from a more important party. This can improve convenience. In addition, when a call is received from a partner having the same priority as the other party during the call, the operator can interrupt the call and answer the received call.
