  The base station wireless I / F means 36 is an I / F that performs wireless communication between the mobile phone and the base station. The LAN wireless I / F means 37 is an I / F that performs wireless communication between the mobile phone and the LAN wireless base station. Conventionally, a dedicated protocol is used for the base station wireless I / F means 36, but there are increasing cases of using an Internet network or an IP network between the base station side and the communication counterpart device. Furthermore, since IP is originally used for the LAN protocol, if the base station wireless I / F means 36 can also be converted to IP, cost reduction can be expected due to common use of components. Therefore, as in this embodiment, IP is used for the wireless I / F unit for base station and the wireless I / F unit 37 for LAN.

  There are two types of IP means 38, VoIP means used for voice and data IP means used for data communication.

  The IP means 38 assembles control IP packets for performing call control and sequentially sends them out to the base station wireless I / F means 36 or the LAN wireless I / F means 37. Further, the control IP packet received from the base station wireless I / F means 36 or the LAN wireless I / F means 37 is disassembled. Such sending and receiving of the control IP packet may be configured by another means independent of the IP means. The operation control of the IP means may be performed by the CPU, or a dedicated LSI may be used.

  As one embodiment, a communication device (or communication terminal device) is described as a mobile phone, and terminal information is described as a mobile phone number.

  3 and 4 show an example of a communication protocol used in a mobile phone.

  First, the outgoing connection and disconnection sequence will be described (see FIG. 3).

  After the off-hook and dialing, the originating terminal transmits a call setup signal (SETUP) and an outgoing radio state report signal to the base station, and receives a call setup acceptance signal (CALL PROC) from the base station side. After performing the authentication procedure, the base station transmits a radio channel designation signal.

  The originating terminal captures the designated channel and sets up the radio line.

  Next, a paging signal (ALERT) is received from the base station, and a ringing tone (RBT) is transmitted to the handset.

  When there is a response from the incoming communication terminal device, a response signal (CONN) is transmitted from the base station to the outgoing communication terminal device.

  When the call is finished, a disconnection signal (DISC) is transmitted from the communication terminal device on the transmission side to the base station. The base station transmits a release signal (REL) to the communication terminal device on the transmission side, and charging ends here.

  The communication terminal device on the transmission side transmits a release completion signal (REL COMP) to the base station, and receives a radio channel disconnection signal from the base station. Finally, the communication terminal device on the transmission side releases the wireless channel used for communication and disconnects the wireless line.

  Next, an incoming connection sequence will be described (see FIG. 4).

  When receiving the call signal from the base station, the communication terminal device on the receiving side transmits an incoming radio state report signal and automatically transmits a response signal to the base station.

  In addition, the base station transmits a radio channel designation signal to the communication terminal device on the receiving side to set up a radio line.

  After the wireless line is set up, a call setup signal (SETUP) is transmitted from the base station to the communication terminal device on the receiving side. The communication terminal device on the receiving side generates a ringing tone (RGT), and then a call signal ( ALERT).

  A response signal (CONN) is transmitted to the base station by the off-hook of the communication terminal device on the called side, communication (call) is started, and charging starts. Since the disconnection sequence is almost the same as the above-mentioned disconnection from the transmission side, it is omitted.

  Usually, the telephone number of the calling side (calling side) is included in the call setup signal (SETUP) and transmitted to the base station side. The base station transmits the received call setup signal (SETUP) to the communication terminal device (mobile phone) on the receiving side (calling side). This is an overview of the so-called caller ID notification function.

  Therefore, the receiving side mobile phone can know the phone number of the calling side when receiving the call setting signal (SETUP). For example, the received phone number of the calling side is used as one data of the incoming call history information. It can be stored in the incoming call history storage means. Therefore, as a method for the calling side mobile phone to know whether or not the receiving side mobile phone has received the caller's telephone number, a predetermined signal ( It is conceivable to perform this by receiving a call signal (ALERT) and a response signal (CONN), and detecting and recognizing the signals. In particular, if communication can be stopped immediately after detecting a call signal (ALERT), the telephone number on the calling side can be notified to the called side without being charged. For this purpose, the mobile phone on the calling side receives the call signal (ALERT), and immediately detects and recognizes that the call signal is a call signal, and transmits a disconnect signal (DISC) to the base station side. Then, the communication is terminated (stopped) by performing the subsequent disconnection sequence. The base station side that has received the disconnection signal (DISC) transmits a release signal (REL) to the receiving side. The mobile phone on the receiving side that has received the release signal (REL) following the call signal (ALERT) from the base station side starts ringing of the ringing tone or stops ringing if the ringing tone is already ringing, The communication is terminated by performing a subsequent disconnection sequence.

  In this description, such a function is called a caller ID automatic notification function.

  In the above example, the call signal (ALERT) is detected and communication is terminated. However, another signal may be used, and when there are a plurality of signals, which signal is detected. There may be provided means for setting whether to end communication.

  The telephone number of the calling party notified is other information (the date and time of the incoming call, the response information indicating whether or not the incoming call was answered, the response time information indicating how long the call was answered, The name of the other party, information indicating that the communication is performed by the caller ID automatic notification function, etc.) are temporarily stored in the storage means as an incoming call history.

  Further, a plurality of incoming histories are stored in this incoming call history, and the information is displayed on the display means. Usually, since the storage capacity of the storage means is limited, for example, when only 30 cases can be stored, the old incoming call history is deleted when the 31st call is received, and the latest incoming call is stored. Also, if the incoming call is the same telephone number, it is possible to delete the old incoming call of that telephone number and store new incoming call information. Also, information indicating that an incoming call has been received by the caller ID automatic notification function can be retrieved and displayed in the incoming call history only for that incoming call.

  In addition, incoming call history information can be registered in the telephone directory means. The phone book means stores the other party's information such as the other party's telephone number, name, reading kana, abbreviated number, telephone type (mobile phone, PHS, landline telephone, etc.), mail address, profile, and the like. To register the information stored in the incoming call history to the phone book, select the incoming call (for example, select a phone number) you want to register in the phone book from multiple incoming call history, enter the name and other party information, and click the registration button By pressing, the incoming call history information and the input information can be registered in the phone book. Information registered in the telephone directory can be displayed on the display means.

  In addition, when the caller uses the caller ID automatic notification function, in order to notify the receiver of that fact, for example, information indicating that communication is performed by the caller ID automatic notification function in a call setup signal (SETUP) It can also be included. The receiving side detects the caller number automatic notification function included in the call setup signal (SETUP) signal, stores the caller number in the memory, and then immediately sends a disconnection signal or a release signal. Communication can be terminated.

  Further, the receiving side may display the caller number on the display means during the incoming call, and may display information indicating that the incoming call is an incoming call by the caller number automatic notification function on the display means. In some cases, even when the ringtone is set to ring, the incoming side must not ring the ringtone, vibrate with a vibrator, or turn on or blink a display means such as an LED. The operation may be different from the setting of the ring tone or the incoming state of the telephone.

  Also, when the caller instructs the callee to automatically register the caller's phone number in the phone book (for example, it can be realized by including a command for instructing automatic registration of the phone number in the call setup signal (SETUP)). The incoming side automatically registers the information once stored in the incoming call history in the phone book (the incoming call history data stored in the memory is transferred to the memory that stores the phone book data) (Send) or copy (copy)).

  Or you may display the registration screen to a telephone directory. At this time, the notified telephone number is displayed in advance in the telephone number column on the registration screen. Thereafter, a name and other information may be input and registered in the phone book.

  As another embodiment, an operation when the caller ID notification function is executed when “not notify phone number” is set in the caller ID notification function setting will be described.

  When the caller ID notification function is set to “Do not notify phone number”, when a normal call is made to make a call, the caller is notified of the caller's phone number. It is common not to.

  In the present embodiment, when the automatic caller ID notification function is set, the automatic caller ID notification function is set even if the caller ID notification function is set to “not notify phone number”. Calling party is notified of calling party telephone number for execution.

  Thus, the caller ID automatic notification function is controlled with priority over the caller ID notification function.

  On the other hand, when “not notify phone number” is set, priority control may be performed so as not to execute the caller ID automatic notification function. Furthermore, it may be possible to set which is prioritized.

  In addition, the above-described example only notifies the caller's telephone number, but may also notify the caller's information (e.g., mail address, URI, profile, name, address, etc.) in addition to the telephone number. Good. The notified information is stored in the incoming call history and can be registered in the telephone directory as necessary.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of a mobile phone screen.

  The operation display means of the cellular phone includes a display unit 51, a key input unit 52, and the like.

  When a telephone number is input, a “number notification” button and a “call” (or “call”) button are displayed on the display screen.

  After inputting the other party's telephone number, when the button corresponding to the “number notification” button is pressed, the caller ID automatic notification function is executed. Instead of inputting the other party's telephone number, the other party's telephone number may be selected from the telephone directory, incoming call history, or outgoing call history. When a button corresponding to the “call” button is pressed instead of the “number notification” button, a normal call is executed. The “number notification” button may be constituted by a hard key or may be constituted by a soft key as shown in the figure.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of an operation flowchart for outgoing calls in this case, and FIG. 7 shows an example of an operation flowchart for incoming calls in this case.

  When making a call, the telephone number of the called party is input (process 101). This telephone number input process includes an operation of selecting a telephone number from the telephone directory, incoming call history, or outgoing call history.

  Next, it is monitored whether the call button is pressed or the number notification button is pressed (NO loop of determinations 102 and 103). When the call button is pressed and the result of determination 102 is YES, a normal call operation is performed (process 104).

  If the number notification button is pressed and the result of determination 103 is YES, control is started (process 105), and a message indicating that the calling number notification function is being executed is displayed on the display unit ( Process 106) and call setup (SETUP) are transmitted (process 107). Here, the call setting (SETUP) includes information indicating communication by the caller ID automatic notification function.

  Next, it waits until a call signal (ALERT) is received (NO loop of decision 108). When the call signal (ALERT) is received and the result of decision 108 is YES, transmission of necessary information to the partner terminal is completed. Therefore, the communication end procedure is started (process 109), a disconnection signal (DISC) is transmitted (process 110), and the communication operation is ended (process 111).

  Then, a message to the effect that the caller ID notification has been executed is displayed (process 112). Here, when the telephone number is input in the processing 101, if the number is directly input from the input unit, the input number is displayed and a registration screen for the telephone book is displayed (processing 113).

  Next, other information to be registered in the telephone book is input (process 114). When the information input is completed, the information is registered in the telephone book (process 115), and the operation at this time is terminated.

  When a call is detected (the result of determination 201 is YES), a call setup signal (SETUP) is received (process 202), and the received call setup signal (SETUP) includes information indicating a caller ID notification. It is checked whether or not (determination 203). When the result of determination 203 is NO, normal call processing is performed (processing 204).

  When the result of determination 203 is YES, a message indicating that the caller ID is automatically notified, the caller ID, and other information on the calling party are displayed (process 205), and the ring tone is set to silence (step 205). Process 206). Here, in the process 206, vibration of the vibrator or incoming call display can also be performed.

  Since the communication of the calling number notification is completed as described above, it is checked whether or not a disconnection signal (DISC) has been received (determination 207). When the result of determination 207 is NO, a disconnection signal (DISC) is transmitted (process 208). ). Further, when the result of determination 207 is YES, processing 208 is not performed. Then, the communication is terminated (process 209).

  Next, it is checked whether or not automatic registration in the phone book is set (decision 210). When the result of judgment 210 is YES, the registration information is transferred from the incoming call history to the phone book and registered in the phone book ( Processing 211), a registration end message is displayed (processing 212), and the operation at this time is ended. Further, when the result of determination 210 is NO, processes 211 and 212 are not executed.

  The above-described embodiment is an example for realizing the present invention, and it is needless to say that the communication protocol and signals in the protocol need not be limited to those described above.

  In addition, there are cases where the other party that transmits and receives signals communicates directly with the other party's terminal device, when communicating through a device on the communication network side, or a combination of both, so the present invention can be implemented with either of them. Is.

  In addition to the telephone number, the terminal information includes an identification number, a terminal number, a machine number, a mobile machine number, an ID, a telephone number, a communication address, and the like.

  The incoming call history means may simply use a temporary memory buffer.

  Currently, there is a communication terminal device provided with a plurality of own terminal identification information. For example, if the communication terminal device is a mobile phone and the phone number of the own terminal device is considered as the own terminal identification information, the phone number of a plurality of own terminal devices is provided, but the characteristics are fully utilized. There is no application at all. The present invention improves the usability of a communication terminal device having a plurality of own terminal identification information.

  As another embodiment according to the present invention, there is a case where the communication terminal side that makes a call has a plurality of own terminal identification information. For example, when one communication terminal apparatus has a telephone number and an e-mail address, or when one communication terminal apparatus has a plurality of telephone numbers, or a plurality of e-mail addresses. It is.

  When notifying terminal identification information of its own terminal device to the partner communication terminal device, it is conceivable to transmit at least two pieces of terminal identification information to the partner communication terminal device. In this case, the calling communication terminal may directly transmit its own terminal identification information to the partner communication terminal device, or the communication control device on the communication network side may transmit to the partner communication terminal device.

  For example, there is a case where one communication terminal device includes a plurality of terminal identification information in a single service (function) (for example, a plurality of telephone numbers). In some cases, one communication terminal device has a plurality of services (for example, a telephone number and an e-mail address). In the latter case, a telephone number and an e-mail address are notified when making a call, or an e-mail address and a telephone number are notified in an e-mail.

  The communication terminal device on the receiving side that has received the terminal identification information displays the received terminal identification information on the calling side on the display device of the own device. In this case, all of the received terminal identification information may be displayed (all terminal identification information may be displayed at one time, or may be displayed one by one in order), or a predetermined condition (predetermined Terminal identification information that matches this information, terminal identification information that includes predetermined information, terminal identification information that includes 050, terminal identification information that does not include 050, only phone numbers, only e-mail addresses, etc.) May be displayed.

  Further, a plurality of terminal identification information on the calling side that have been received may be stored in an incoming call history means (stores predetermined information of incoming communication for each communication) or the like. Thereby, when the received communication terminal device makes a call to the communication terminal device on the calling side, the desired terminal identification information can be selected from the plurality of received terminal identification information using the incoming call history means. I can do it.

  Also, a plurality of terminal identification information stored in the incoming call history means is stored in the phone book means (terminal identification information and other information and names corresponding thereto are selected, and the terminal identification information and names are selected and issued. Can be registered).

  For example, terminal identification information desired to be registered in the telephone book means is displayed on the display by the incoming call history means, and an arbitrary name or the like is input from the input means and registered in the telephone book means. In this case, when a plurality of terminal identification information is stored for one communication in the incoming call history means, the plurality of terminal identification information can be registered in the telephone directory means.

  For example, when selecting one communication from the incoming call history means and registering it in the phone book, if two telephone numbers and mail addresses are stored in one communication, the two telephone numbers and mail addresses are automatically displayed on the registration screen. It can be registered after inputting a name and other information from other input means.

  It is possible to make a call by selecting terminal identification information from a plurality of terminal identification information registered in the telephone directory means.

  Furthermore, as another embodiment, a communication terminal device that makes a call or a communication control device on the communication network side, among a plurality of terminal identification information held by the communication terminal device on the calling side, according to a predetermined condition It is conceivable to select predetermined terminal identification information and transmit it to the receiving communication terminal device. The predetermined condition is “1. Terminal identification information that is desired to be used when a call is made from a partner communication terminal device (when calling back). In this case, it can be used for each terminal identification information. It is assumed that the specifications and functions (functions that can be used by the terminal, communication functions, etc.) are different. "" 2. Terminal identification that is expected to reduce the communication fee when the other communication terminal device makes a call Information "etc. can be considered.

  In another embodiment, the operator on the calling side manually selects.

  Furthermore, as another embodiment, the terminal identification information possessed by the communication terminal device on the calling side is compared with the terminal identification information possessed by the communication terminal device on the reception side. Predetermined terminal identification information is selected from the terminal identification information, and is transmitted to the communication terminal device on the receiving side. It is assumed that the terminal identification information includes or suggests a function that the communication terminal apparatus can use, a communication function that can be used, provider information, communication fee information, and other information.

  More specifically, for example, when considering the case where the terminal identification information is a telephone number, the telephone number of the communication terminal device on the calling side is compared with the telephone number of the communication terminal device on the receiving side. When the provider can be identified from the telephone number (for example, the next four digits of 050 are assumed to be a number unique to the provider), the same provider among the plurality of telephone numbers possessed by the communication terminal device on the calling side If there is a telephone number, the communication terminal apparatus on the receiving side is notified of the telephone number.

  As another example, when the communication terminal device on the calling side has a telephone number for IP telephone and a telephone number for NTT, the telephone number on the receiving side (the telephone number that the calling side calls) Alternatively, if the receiving side informs you of the IP phone number (or if it is a phone number other than the NTT phone number, for example, a mobile phone or PHS), the IP phone number may be notified. Conceivable.

  Alternatively, if the calling communication terminal apparatus has an IP telephone number and an NTT telephone number, and the other communication terminal apparatus has an NTT telephone number, the mutual NTT terminal numbers If they are the same (local call), the NTT phone number is notified, and if they are different (local call or long distance call), the IP phone number is notified.

  In this case, it is assumed that local calls are cheaper for calls from NTT to NTT than for calls using NTT's IP telephone network, and vice versa for long distance calls. However, it is preferable to be able to change the telephone number notification setting of the communication terminal device on the calling side or the communication control device on the communication network side so that it can cope with the change in the call charge conditions.

  Further, the information is not limited to the comparison of the area codes as long as the information can estimate the telephone charge. Further, not only the comparison of the telephone numbers, but the determination may be made from the telephone numbers themselves. Further, the function and information of the partner device may be extracted from the protocol received from the partner device, and determination may be made based on the function and information. In this way, when having a plurality of terminal identification information, the optimum terminal identification information can be notified to the partner apparatus.

  For example, as one example, in a communication terminal device having a plurality of own terminal identification information, for each own terminal identification information, a telephone directory means, an outgoing history means (stores predetermined information of outgoing communication for each communication), Incoming call history means, call or communication charge information means (charge information for one call (one communication), information on call charges or communication charges such as accumulated call charges (integrated communication charges)), device function setting means (ring tone) Various functions (communication information means) related to own terminal identification information, such as settings related to sound such as the type of incoming call, volume of incoming call, settings related to a display screen such as a standby screen and lighting, etc.

  Specifically, when the own terminal identification information to be used is selected from among the plurality of own terminal identification information, thereafter, the telephone directory means, the outgoing call history means, the incoming call history corresponding to the selected terminal identification information Means, telephone or communication charge information means, and function setting means of the apparatus. As an example, a case of a telephone directory will be described.

  A telephone device having a plurality of telephone numbers (phone number A and telephone number B) as the telephone number of its own terminal, for example, when the telephone number A is used as a company (public) telephone number In the telephone directory A, information such as a telephone number and an e-mail address of a work relationship (customer, etc.) of the company is stored.

  The telephone number B is used as a private telephone number, and the telephone directory B stores information such as a private telephone number and a mail address. For example, when the user is currently working and the phone number A is used, or when the phone number A is set to be used (set to the work mode), the user selects the phone book function. In this case, the telephone directory A corresponding to the telephone number A can be selected and used.

  In this case, the telephone number A is notified to the other party when making a call. Next, when using privately, the telephone number B is selected and a telephone is set to private mode.

  At this time, when the user selects the phone book function, the phone book B can be selected and used. In this case, the telephone number B is notified to the other party when making a call. Switching between the work mode and the private mode may be performed by selecting the telephone number of the own device or by switching the mode between the work mode and the private mode.

  In the case of mobile Centrex described later, for example, when the telephone number A is an external telephone number and the telephone number B is an internal telephone number, the user manually selects the telephone number to be used. However, it is also possible to detect whether or not the own communication terminal device is in the company and automatically select the telephone number B when it is detected that it is in the company. Whether or not the own communication terminal device is in the company is detected by checking whether the own communication terminal device is within the radio area of the radio base station or radio relay station installed in the company (communication between the communication terminal device and the base station). Whether or not position detection is possible).

  In addition, whether the partner communication terminal device is in the company (whether the partner is in the company) is inquired in advance to the base station side, and the result is stored in the storage means of the server device and the management device, It can also provide a presence means that can be confirmed before making a call.

  In addition, when the own terminal identification information provided in the own device increases, the amount of data required by the corresponding phone book means, outgoing call history means, incoming call history means, call / communication charge information means, and device function setting means Since it increases, a backup means is needed. Therefore, the data stored in the own device is backed up to the data storage device prepared on the radio base station side. A communication path is secured between the radio base station side and the own device using a predetermined communication protocol, and data of the own device is transmitted to the radio base station side, thereby backing up the data in the data storage device. The device downloads backup data when necessary.

  In addition, it is good if there is little self-terminal identification information that can be used, but if it increases, it becomes difficult to remember what the self-terminal identification information mainly consists of numbers, symbols, etc. There's a problem.

  Therefore, if the name can be set in each terminal identification information or changed after the setting, the usability is further improved. For example, when the terminal identification information is a telephone number, there are cases where it is more advantageous to handle with a name than to handle numbers themselves. For example, a name such as “work” for telephone number A, “private” for telephone number C, and “extension” for telephone number B can be set. In this way, the device can be operated more reliably by selecting the name instead of the telephone number itself.

  Recently, a system called Mobile Centrex is being developed. Mobile Centrex is a mobile phone (mobile Centrex terminal) that can be used as a company extension, and can be used outside a company as a conventional mobile phone. Since Mobile Centrex is currently under development, the specification for the caller ID notification function has not been determined. Mobile Centrex mobile phones have multiple phone numbers, such as an external phone number and an extension phone number, so there are currently no specifications for how to notify the caller ID. It is. Therefore, another embodiment of the present invention for solving this will be described.

  The Mobile Centrex system includes a method of implementing an extension call by installing a wireless LAN I / F on a mobile phone (Method A) and a wireless base station installed in the company using a normal mobile phone. Thus, two methods of realizing an extension call (method B) can be considered. The following embodiments are applicable to the two methods.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of a mobile Centrex system diagram (scheme A), and FIG. 10 shows an example of a mobile centrex system diagram (scheme B).

  System A mobile Centrex terminals (mobile phones) TE1 and TE2 can be used internally as VoIP telephones connected to the wireless LAN base stations AP1 and AP2 installed in the company, and externally connected to a mobile phone company base station BS. It can be used as a telephone TE. In the office, when calling by extension, it connects to nearby wireless LAN base stations AP1 and AP2, and via IP-PBXPX or directly through the wireless LAN base stations AP1 and AP2 connected to the other terminal, Make a call with the other terminal. It is also possible to make a call on an external line via IP-PBXPX or the Internet. In addition, data communication can be performed using the Internet or the server device SV during a call. In the case of an outside line call coming from the telephone network, each mobile phone can be called by providing the IP-PBXPX with a direct-in dial function. This method A can also be applied to ordinary households.

  System B mobile phones (mobile Centrex terminals) TE1 and TE2 are internal telephones connected to small base stations MB1 and MB2 installed in the office, and mobile telephones TE connected to a mobile phone company base station BS outside the company. Available as When calling by extension, it connects to the nearby small base stations MB1 and MB2 and makes a call with the partner terminal via the small exchange MX or through the small base stations MB1 and MB2 directly connected to the partner terminal. . It is also possible to make a call on the outside line via PBXQX or small exchange MX. In addition, data communication can be performed using the small exchange MX during a call. In the case of an outside line call from the telephone network, each mobile phone can be called by providing the PBXQX, the small exchange MX, and the small base stations MB1 and MB2 with a direct-in dial function.

  As one example of the caller ID notification, there is a method in which the mobile phone that calls itself determines the telephone number to be notified to the partner apparatus. Consider a case in which a mobile phone can use two telephone numbers: a telephone number for an external telephone (a normal telephone number used as a mobile telephone) and a telephone number for an internal telephone.

  Assume that a four-digit telephone number is used as the extension telephone number. When making a call using an extension telephone number in a company, the other party's extension telephone number is usually called. In this case, since the extension telephone number is four digits, it is possible to determine that the mobile phone to be called is a telephone call or communication by extension telephone when calling with a four-digit telephone number.

  When it is determined that the call or communication is based on the extension telephone number, the telephone number of the own terminal apparatus notified to the other party or the communication network is the extension number of the own terminal apparatus. Further, when the telephone number to be called is not an extension telephone number (in the case of an external telephone number), that is, when the calling telephone number is, for example, 5 digits or more, it is determined as an external telephone number, and the external line of the own terminal device is determined. The telephone number is notified to the other party or the communication network.

  Or you may notify not only the telephone number to call but all the telephone numbers (two numbers of an outside telephone number and an extension telephone number) which an own terminal device has. The notified partner can know which number is the extension number or the outside number from the number of digits of the notified telephone number. Also, when making a call from outside the company (outside the area of the wireless base station in the company), the external line telephone number of the own terminal device is notified to the partner device or the communication network side.

  As a second embodiment, a communication network side (base station side, radio station side, communication network side device) selects a telephone number to be notified and notifies the other side device (called side). There is.

  On the communication network side (wireless LAN base stations AP1, AP2, server device SV, IP-PBXPX, small base stations MB1, MB2, small exchange MX, etc.), a correspondence table (ex. 10 telephone number tables) are stored as telephone number correspondence tables corresponding to the number of mobile phones handled.

  When calling, the mobile phone TE on the calling side notifies the communication network side of the telephone number of the other party (called party) and the telephone number of the own device (the telephone number for the outside line or the extension telephone number). At least one telephone number).

  The communication network side receives the telephone number of the other party called by the calling party's mobile phone, and if it is an extension telephone number, it searches for the base station where the telephone number exists (in the location management server device). Inquire) Calls are made and the telephone number or the extension telephone number of the calling-side mobile phone stored in the telephone number correspondence table is notified to the other party.

  If the other party's phone number is an external phone number, search for the base station (base station outside the company, general base station) where the phone number exists (location management to manage the location of the mobile phone) The server device is inquired) and the other party is notified of the external telephone number of the calling mobile phone stored in the telephone number correspondence table. Further, the communication network side may notify the two telephone numbers of the calling side outside telephone number and the extension telephone number stored in the telephone number correspondence table regardless of the received telephone number of the called party. .

  Further, when making a call from the company to the other party in the company using the extension telephone number, there is a problem that the telephone cannot be connected unless the other party is in the company.

  As an example of the invention for solving this problem, means for automatically switching between extension means and outside line means will be described. The wireless base station (or server device) in the company that has received the extension telephone number of the other party checks whether the communication device of the extension telephone number is in the company.

  As a result of the investigation, if it exists in the company, the corresponding destination is called through the wireless base station in the company in charge of the area.

  If the result of the survey indicates that you are not within the company, use the telephone number correspondence table to obtain an external telephone number that corresponds to the extension telephone number of the other party you received. Inquiries are made to a general location confirmation server device outside the company. As a result, the other party is called through a general base station in charge of the area.

  On the contrary, when the wireless base station in the company receives the external number of the other party, the extension number corresponding to the received external telephone number is obtained from the telephone number correspondence table, Investigate whether the communication device with the extension telephone number is in the company.

  As a result of the investigation, if it exists in the company, the corresponding destination is called through the wireless base station in the company in charge of the area. As a result of the investigation, if the user is not in the company, the base station server outside the company is inquired as to which area of the base station it is based on the previously received external telephone number. As a result, the other party is called through a general base station in charge of the area.

  A device having both of these functions is also conceivable. For example, this is a case where a communication terminal device that makes a call selects a destination name instead of a telephone number and places a call.

  In this case, the communication terminal device notifies the radio base station side of at least one of the name of the partner device, the external telephone number, and the internal telephone number. The base station uses the received name or phone number and the phone number correspondence table to determine whether the other device is in the company and decides whether to use an external phone number or an extension phone number. Yes (phone number automatic selection means).

  At this time, the base station side transmits information about whether it is connected by an extension line or whether it is connected by an external line to the calling communication terminal apparatus, and the communication terminal apparatus that receives the information displays the information on the display unit.

  Further, the radio base station side can calculate the respective call charges by storing and managing the call time when connected by an extension line and the call time when connected by an outside line. By managing separately in this way, in the case of an extension, a service such as free of charge or a flat rate system can be provided.

  FIG. 11 shows a protocol diagram of a communication model of SIP (see Session Initiation Protocol; RFC3261 etc.) which is one of standard call control protocols applicable in such communication.

  First, a request message “INVITE” is transmitted from the calling side. “INVITE” is a session activation signal, and an attribute of the session that can be received by the caller is indicated by SDP (Session Description Protocol; refer to RFC 2327, etc.). Specifically, the reception condition (codec, port number, etc.) on the calling side and the transmission condition are presented.

  The called side receives “INVITE” and transmits “180 RINGING” to the calling side in order to notify that it is in the ringing state. The “180 RINGING” may indicate the receiving condition (codec, port number, etc.) and the transmission condition on the called side, but it is normally indicated by the following “200 OK”.

  Next, “200 OK” is transmitted to the calling side in order to notify that the called side is ready to talk. For this, the attributes of the session that can be received by the called party are shown in SDP. This “200 OK” presents the receiving condition (codec, port number, etc.) and transmission condition on the called side.

  Next, the calling party transmits “ACK” to the called party, thereby negotiating attributes that can be used for communication. In the present invention, this is defined as the connection phase for convenience.

  Next, transfer of media (sound, image, video, etc.) is started. In the present invention, this data transfer period is defined as a data transmission / reception phase for convenience.

  When terminating the communication, the stop side sends a “BYE” signal to request the termination of the communication, and the side receiving it transmits a “200 OK” signal as a response to terminate the communication. In the present invention, this phase is defined as a cutting phase for convenience.

  The “call” in the embodiment includes both a case of a caller of “caller number notification function” and a case of a call for a normal call.

  FIG. 12 shows an example of telephone directory switching according to the operation mode.

  When the private mode is set (process 301), the telephone book is accessed (process 301), and the private telephone book is activated (process 303). When the work mode is set (process 304), the work phone book is activated (process 305).

  FIG. 13 shows an example of processing at the time of calling.

  When a call partner is selected from the telephone directory (process 401), a call is made to the selected partner (process 402). Here, it is checked whether or not the wireless area is within the company (determination 403). When the result of determination 403 is YES, the extension number is notified (processing 404), and when the result of determination 403 is NO, The external line number is notified (process 405).

  Note that the above-described embodiment is an example, and it is needless to say that the communication protocol and signals in the protocol need not be limited to those described above.

  In addition to the telephone number, the terminal information includes an identification number, a terminal number, a machine number, a mobile machine number, an ID, a telephone number, a communication address, and the like.

  Up to now, IC cards, IC tag reader devices, mobile phones, IP phones, IP videophones, and wristwatches have been mentioned as examples, but other communication terminal devices include mobile radios, IP phones using wireless LAN, and IP communications. There are communication terminal devices having communication functions such as terminal devices, general subscriber phones, computers with communication functions, mobile phones, PHS, PDAs, etc., which can be implemented using communication protocols that can be used by each communication terminal device. . Since the configuration of each communication terminal apparatus is known, the block diagram is not shown, but the means according to the features of the present invention is provided in the same manner as in the above embodiment.
