Description

  The present invention relates to a message delivery method using a telephone voice recording function such as that used in an answering machine, and a communication terminal using the method. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for quickly and easily delivering a message even when the partner communication terminal does not have an answering machine function, and a communication terminal using the method.

  As a conventional message delivery method using an answering machine, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2001-204078 (Patent Document 1) discloses an answering machine service method and method in a mobile phone system. In this system, even if the called party has not registered the answering machine service, the message is recorded using the answering machine service on the calling party side. This answering machine service includes a telephone voice recording system in an exchange in the telephone network. Furthermore, in this service, the destination telephone number is converted into a mail address, and “there is a message from the sender and an identification number” is notified to the mail address. Upon receiving this mail, the other party calls the exchange with the identification number from the message sender. The exchange delivers the recorded message to the other party based on the received identification number.

  In the message delivery method using the answering machine service in Patent Document 1, since the subscriber telephone number is converted into an e-mail address, both the telephone network and the e-mail network can be accessed as in the cellular phone system. Limited to cases where numbers can be registered. Furthermore, since the exchange registered with the subscriber telephone number is supposed to process the function, this answering machine service has recently been made into a single-function mobile phone such as for elderly people, or a general fixed telephone, There is a problem that it cannot be used with a telephone that cannot access the electronic mail network.

  As an improvement measure, for example, there is a mobile phone disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-285294 (Patent Document 2). This mobile phone is used by a message sender. That is, since the mobile phone normally has a storage function as an answering machine for recording voice, the caller of the message uses the function to make a call after pre-recording the message voice together with the called number. . As a result, when the mobile phone receives a response signal to the call, the mobile phone can detect the response signal and send the recorded voice to the connection partner. Therefore, the type of the called telephone is not limited. This means that the message voice can be delivered to the called party even by a general fixed telephone as well as when the message receiver side does not register the answering machine service, e-mail, or the like.

  However, in such a configuration, since the message transmission control is on the transmission side, the reception side telephone does not have an answering machine service registration or function, and of course there is no user in the vicinity of the fixed telephone. In such a case, or when the owner of the mobile phone is not aware of the incoming call in the manner mode or out of the intermittent range, an immediate response cannot be made to the incoming call. Therefore, the cellular phone of Patent Document 2 cannot receive an automatic response signal from the called telephone for a long time. As a result, the message sender needs to repeat the call until there is a response.

JP 2001-204078 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-285294

  The problem to be solved is that even if a message is recorded and transmitted by a communication terminal such as a telephone having a message recording function, a response is not obtained when the message receiver is not present for a long time, and Repeating is inevitable. As a result, the message sender cannot send a message, and particularly when urgent is required, the response of the message receiver is restricted.

  In the present invention, when a message sender calls using a communication terminal such as a telephone, even if there is no message receiver for a long time, the message receiver is not bound by repeated calls and the message receiver It is an object of the present invention to make it possible to immediately receive a message from a message sender when returning to the communication terminal position. The object is a method and a communication terminal for recording a voice message on a message transmission side communication terminal by a telephone voice recording function used in an answering machine and delivering the recorded voice message to a message receiving destination communication terminal. That is, one of the main features is that a communication terminal for sending and receiving messages receives a caller ID notification service for receiving a caller ID notification when an incoming call is received. Then, a voice message from the message sender is recorded when the message transmission side communication terminal makes a call together with the message receiving destination telephone number and then receives the message setting. Still another main feature is the message transmission side communication terminal. When an incoming call is received, the voice recorded by automatically responding when the caller number notified is matched with the message receiving destination telephone number. It is to send a message to the communication path.

  With this configuration, on the message receiving side, the telephone number of the message transmitting side communication terminal is recorded and displayed in the absence history by the caller ID notification service, so when the message receiver returns to the communication terminal location, it is immediately absent. You can dial according to your history. As a result, the message transmission side communication terminal can immediately transmit the recorded voice message of interest by automatically responding to this incoming call. For this reason, the addition of a special function is unnecessary in the message receiving destination communication terminal. A communication terminal having a caller ID notification function like a mobile phone system does not require registration for receiving a caller ID notification service. However, even when the caller ID notification service is received, this function is invalid for the communication terminal set to non notification.

  A specific communication terminal according to the present invention has received a caller number notification service, means for making a call together with a message receiving destination telephone number by an operation input of a message sender, and by an operation input of the message sender after making a call. Means for accepting the message setting; means for recording the voice message from the message sender together with the message receiving telephone number by accepting the message setting; and the sender number and the message received when the incoming call is received. Means for sending out the voice message recorded by automatic response in accordance with the destination telephone number to the communication path.

  Also, it is desirable to disconnect the incoming call side when the message setting is accepted as the communication terminal on the outgoing message side, because the incoming call is abandoned and the call is released early on the incoming call side. In addition, if a communication terminal receives a call signal by an incoming call while receiving a message setting and recording a voice message as a message transmission side communication terminal, the incoming call is received so as not to adversely affect the message recording. It is desirable to reject the call. In this case, it is desirable to block only the ringing notification of the received call signal and display the caller number on the screen because the caller of the incoming call can be recognized. In addition, when sending a message after receiving an incoming call, it is possible to repeatedly send out a voice message to the communication path until it is disconnected from the calling side. This is desirable because a function such as a retransmission request is unnecessary and the message transmission side does not need to cope with the function.

  Further, the service for notifying the caller number to the communication terminal used in the present invention can notify the communication terminal number recorded by the sender as the caller number to the communication terminal called by the sender of the message. Any system may be used, and the system is not limited to a system used for a known caller ID notification service.

  The method for delivering a message by the telephone voice recording function of the present invention and its communication terminal receive a caller ID notification service, and in the case of sending a message, the message setting is accepted after calling with the message receiving destination telephone number. The voice message from the message sender is recorded. Further, the communication terminal on the message transmission side, when receiving the incoming call, transmits the voice message recorded in response to the caller's number automatically notified by the match between the received caller number and the message receiving destination telephone number. To send. With this configuration, in the case of message reception, the message receiver can call the message transmission side communication terminal from the incoming call history when the communication terminal display screen is absent. In other words, even when the message receiver is absent for a long time, when returning to the location of the communication terminal, the voice message can be obtained by calling immediately. The service according to the present invention is widely applied to mobile phone systems or mobile phones, but can also be applied to fixed phones.

  The object of the present invention is to make a call even when there is no message receiver for a long time when a message sender calls using a communication terminal such as a telephone having a telephone voice recording function used in an answering machine. It is to be able to receive the voice message from the message sender immediately when the message receiver returns to the location where the communication terminal is located without being bound repeatedly.

  For this purpose, the communication terminal according to the present invention has received a caller ID notification service for receiving a caller ID notification when an incoming call is received. When a call is received, a voice message from the message sender is recorded, while when an incoming call is received, an automatic response is recorded based on the coincidence between the notified caller number and the above message receiver telephone number. This is realized by sending out the voice message that is being sent to the communication path.

  In the following, the present invention will be described by way of embodiments with reference to the drawings. The functional blocks and procedures shown are mainly related to the present invention due to space limitations, and there are also omissions of parts essential for operation functions. In addition, the function distribution and the procedure change are free as long as the above functions are satisfied, and the following description does not limit the present invention. The procedure to be described follows the basic signal flow in the subscriber line connecting the telephone network to the calling side terminal and the called side terminal.

  The communication terminal of the present invention has a voice message recording area by a telephone voice recording function used for an answering machine, and a telephone number is appended to each voice message. In the case of a conventional general answering machine, the telephone number of the destination message transmission terminal is notified by the caller ID notification service and stored together with the voice message when an incoming call is received. In the present invention, the dial number at the time of outgoing call is stored together with the voice message as the telephone number of the destination message receiving terminal. Therefore, each of the voice messages at the time of an incoming call and at the time of an outgoing call is referred to as an incoming message and an outgoing message. In addition, the message transmission side communication terminal is abbreviated as a message transmission terminal, and the message reception destination communication terminal is abbreviated as a message reception terminal.

  A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram illustrating an embodiment of a message delivery system according to the present invention using a telephone voice recording function.

  In the message delivery system shown in the figure, the message sending terminal 1 calls the message receiving terminal 3 via the exchange system 2 to deliver the message. The message transmission terminal 1 includes a receiving number recording call 11 at the time of outgoing call, an outgoing message record setting acceptance 12, a disconnection release / rejected call rejection 13, and an outgoing message record 14, and a caller number at the time of incoming call. Collation 15 and automatic response message transmission 16 are included in the normal communication terminal function. The exchange system 2 can provide a caller ID notification service to each communication terminal. The message receiving terminal 3 only needs to have the functions included in a normal communication terminal, and the functions of the incoming call history record 17 and the telephone number display 18 are used.

  In the receiving destination number recording call 11, the connection destination telephone number received by the communication terminal user's call, that is, the receiving destination number is recorded, and the call is notified to the switching system 2 in an off-hook state. Thereby, since the dial tone is received, the receiving number is sent to the exchange system 2. By executing this function, the receiving communication terminal is called. In the message recording setting acceptance 12, the message recording request is accepted from the calling party by, for example, a predetermined button operation while calling the connection partner. By executing this function, disconnection release / call rejection 13 in the calling state is executed.

  In other words, in the disconnection release / call rejection 13, a call is abandoned to notify the callee of the disconnection in response to an on-hook state by the caller, and an incoming call from the switching system 2 is rejected. In the case of a cellular phone, this call rejection may be to stop the radio wave to be transmitted. However, it is necessary to receive and display the caller number when an incoming call is received. Among the incoming call notifications generated by the ringing signal received at this time, the audible sound and the bodily sensation vibration due to the ringing of the bell or the ringing tone have an adverse effect on the recording and are stopped.

  In the message recording 14, the reception of the message recording request is first notified to the receiver that the recording preparation for the telephone recording area is completed, and then the voice message received from the transmitter is recorded. At that time, the recipient number is recorded in the same recording area, and a message mark is recorded for distinction from the incoming message.

  In the caller number verification 15, the caller number notified from the exchange system 2 at the time of an incoming call is identified, and the match between the caller number and the recipient number recorded in the telephone recording area and marked as a message is confirmed. Matched. In the automatic response message transmission 16, a response is automatically notified to the incoming call when the caller number and the receiver number match. Following the automatic response, the message voice recorded in the corresponding recording area is sent to the communication path. Thereby, the message is delivered to the message receiving terminal 3 having the receiving number by voice.

  When an incoming call is received at the message receiving terminal 3 which is a normal communication terminal, the received caller number is recorded in the incoming call history in the incoming call history record 17 and displayed on the screen by the telephone number display 18. In this normal incoming call, notification including visual audibility such as bell sound, melody, vibration, blinking lamp, etc. is generated by a call signal, and the user is called. Under the conditions of the present invention, since the caller abandons the call due to the absence, “absent” is recorded in the incoming call history, and the incoming call is recognized on the screen. Some telephone operators do not display a missed call, but the user of the communication terminal can usually recognize the missed call himself / herself based on the presence / absence of a response to the incoming call from the incoming call history.

  FIG. 2 is a sequence chart showing an embodiment of a procedure for setting a voice message transmitted by a caller as a message in the system according to FIG.

  The communication terminal serving as the message transmission terminal 1 receives the call by the off-hook operation while the callee is designated by the callee by the callee 11 and receives the call by the off-hook operation. Record in the outgoing call history as a number. At the same time, the communication terminal calls the switching system 2 and receives a dial tone, and therefore transmits a receiving number (step S1). The exchange system 2 accepts the receiving destination number from the message transmitting terminal 1 and sends a call signal and a caller number to the communication terminal to be the message receiving terminal 3 on the called side (step S1A). Is sent to the message transmission terminal 1. In the message receiving terminal 3, an incoming call is notified by ringing of a bell, blinking of a light emitting diode, etc. by the received call signal, and the notified caller number is recorded as an incoming call history by the incoming call history record 17, and a call is made. The number display function 18 displays the screen (procedure S1B).

  The message transmission terminal 1 receives the ring tone from the exchange system 2 (step S2), but if the response is slow, the message transmission terminal 1 accepts the message setting by the message record setting acceptance 12. Thus, the telephone recording area is connected to the caller's transmission path, and the voice guidance equipment is connected to the caller's reception path so as to be able to record the message (step S3). At almost the same time, the message transmission terminal 1 notifies the callee of the disconnection via the switching system 2 by the disconnection release call rejection 13 and abandons the call. On the other hand, since there is a possibility of receiving a call signal from the switching system 2 due to call abandonment, an incoming call rejection process (procedure S4) for blocking the incoming call notification ringing by the call signal is executed.

  Therefore, the incoming call cannot be answered during this time, but the caller ID is recorded in the incoming call history. This incoming call rejection process is a process only in the message transmission terminal 1, but for example, when the incoming call rejection process is stopped at the mobile phone terminal from the base station to this mobile phone terminal. The call is stopped and the calling party is notified of out-of-service or power-off. An answering machine service can also be applied.

  Upon receiving the disconnection, the exchange system 2 transmits the disconnection to the called side and performs release processing (procedure S4A) to the calling side. Thereby, the incoming message receiving terminal 3 receives the disconnection and stops the incoming call notification (step S4B), records the absence of the telephone number of the outgoing message terminal 1 as the caller number, and performs a predetermined release process ( Step S5B) is performed.

  The message transmission terminal 1 that has received the release notification from the exchange system 2 in the procedure S4A performs a release completion process (procedure S5) on the exchange system 2. On the other hand, since the message transmission terminal 1 completes preparation for recording the message (step S6), the message recording terminal 14 provides voice guidance for the start of the message. As a result, the caller inputs voice from the mouthpiece and the message is recorded in a predetermined recording area. When the call is over, the caller accepts another message setting by the message record setting acceptance 12 (step S7). As a result, the message transmitting terminal 1 cancels the incoming call rejection setting (step S8) and enters a normal idle state.

  The exchange system 2 receives the release completion notification of the procedure S5 and marks the outgoing message transmission terminal 1 as empty (procedure S5A). On the other hand, the exchange system 2 receives the release notification of the procedure S5B and performs release completion processing. The message receiving terminal 3 on the side is marked as empty (step S5BA).

  According to the above procedure, the message receiving terminal 3 can make a return call with the caller number of the incoming call history when the message receiver returns to the communication terminal location.

  FIG. 3 is a sequence chart showing an embodiment of a procedure in which the message receiver receives the voice message from the message sender in the system according to FIG.

  The communication terminal serving as the message receiving terminal 3 is designated by the function of the incoming call history record 17 and the telephone number display 18 from the sender number of the absence history, and the telephone number for the message sender terminal 1 of the message sender and the call by the off-hook operation. Accept the call. Upon receiving the call, the message receiving terminal 3 calls the exchange system 2 to receive a dial tone, and sends the telephone number designated from the incoming call history (step S11). The exchange system 2 sends a ringing tone (RBT) to the message receiving terminal 3 on the calling side, and sends a calling signal and a caller number to the message sending terminal 1 on the called side (step S12).

  In the message transmission terminal 1, an incoming call is notified by ringing of a bell, blinking of a light emitting diode, or the like by a received call signal. At this time, the notified caller number is recorded as an incoming call history and displayed on the screen, and the caller number check 15 compares the caller number with the recipient number recorded in the message recording area (step S13). If there is a receiver number that matches in the verification, the message transmission terminal 1 automatically responds to the switching system 2 by the automatic response message transmission 16 (step S14).

  In the exchange system 2, the automatic response is accepted and the sending of the calling signal to the called message transmission terminal 1 and the ringing sound to the calling message receiving terminal 3 is stopped, and the message transmission terminal 1 and the message receiving terminal 3 are stopped. Is formed (step S14A). Accordingly, the message receiving terminal 3 stops receiving the ringing tone (step S14B).

  The message transmission terminal 1 stops the incoming call notification by stopping the reception of the paging signal (step S15), and repeatedly transmits the message recorded in the corresponding area by the automatic response message transmission 16 (step S16). This message is received as a voice message at the message receiving terminal 3 (step S16B). In the message receiving terminal 3, the message receiver grasps and confirms the content by repeatedly listening to the message, and performs an on-hook end process.

  As a result of the call termination process, the message receiving terminal 3 notifies the switching system 2 of line disconnection (step S17). Since this disconnection notification is delivered to the message transmission terminal 1 on the called side, the message transmission terminal 1 deletes the record of the message transmitted by voice and performs a predetermined release process (step S17C). On the other hand, the message receiving terminal 3 on the calling side accepts the release, performs a predetermined release completion process (step S18), and the procedure ends.

  In the above description, the sent message is deleted when a notification from the receiving side, that is, the calling side, is received, that is, a notification by disconnection. It is possible to add a transmitted mark to the area and manually delete it by the message sender.

  Since such a configuration is adopted, when both the transmission side and the reception side of the message receive the caller ID notification service of the switching system to which the message is subscribed and are not set to non notification, the communication terminal on the message transmission side While recording voice messages using the same telephone voice recording function as the answering machine, when a call is received from the receiving side based on the missed call history, the recorded message is automatically sent out by voice. Can do. Therefore, when the caller wants to convey a message, even if the other party who does not have an answering machine function is not present for a long time, the caller can recognize a missed incoming call when the receiver returns to the location of the telephone terminal. It becomes easy to convey. Furthermore, if the communication partner can be notified in advance about the message, the receiving party may be a general landline telephone, and it is not necessary to add a new function.

  A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a communication terminal having the message transmission function described above.

  The message transmission communication terminal 10 includes various processors, a ROM such as a program, a RAM for processing, and an input / output device having various functions, and is controlled by the processor. As hardware of a conventional multi-function telephone terminal, a transmitter / receiver, a telephone circuit, a line connection circuit, a keypad including a number dial, a multi-function button, an image display, a visual notification device such as a light emitting diode, a bell, and a speaker For example, there are audible notification tools such as those described above, and hand-held vibration notification tools.

  The message transmission communication terminal 10 shown in the figure is a functional block. As basic functions for making a call, a handset 21, a telephone circuit unit 22, a telephone line connection unit 23, a dial pad 24, and a transmission history recording unit 25 are shown. , Dial transmission unit 26, signal transmission unit 27, call control unit 28, and screen display unit 30. The present invention includes a message setting button 31, a voice message recording / playback unit 32, and a voice message playback button 33. As basic functions for incoming calls, there are a received signal identification unit 41, an incoming call notification unit 42, and an incoming call history recording unit 43. The functions according to the present invention further include a number verification unit 44, an automatic response unit 45, and an incoming call control unit 46.

  The handset 21, the telephone circuit unit 22, the telephone line connection unit 23, the dial pad 24, the outgoing call history recording unit 25, the dial transmission unit 26, and the signal transmission unit 27 are the same constituent elements as those in the prior art and will not be described. Of the control procedure of the call control unit 28, the part according to the present invention will be described later with reference to FIG. The screen display unit 30 receives the control of the processor and displays predetermined data and information on the screen.

  The message setting button 31 is prepared for recording by the voice message recording / reproducing unit 32 as a message setting by being pressed by a user when calling and listening to a ringing tone. Next, by pressing, the setting button functions as an end button, and the message setting is canceled. This setting and its cancellation may be executed by operating a predetermined dial number, a key, or a setting / release dedicated button. The voice message recording / playback unit 32 is controlled by the call control unit 28, and the voice recording area in the answering machine function is used. Will be recorded. The voice message recording / reproducing unit 32 receives the connection of the speech path of the transmitter / receiver 21 and the communication path to the receiver via the telephone circuit unit 22 by the message setting, and the connection is canceled by canceling the message setting. By operating the voice message playback button 33, the voice in the recording area is played back and transmitted from the voice message recording / playback unit 32 to the handset 21. By this reproduction, the caller can confirm the voice content of the message.

  The reception signal identification unit 41 identifies the signal received from the switching system 2 by the telephone line connection unit 23 and notifies the incoming call control unit 46 of the signal. The incoming call signal may vary depending on the type of communication terminal, but the call signal and caller number are essential. The incoming call notification unit 42 receives the control of the incoming call control unit 46 and notifies the user of the incoming call with a visible audible signal when the call signal is received. That is, there are notifications by audible sounds such as blinking lamps, incoming call display on the screen, and bell / melody. In the case of a mobile phone, notification by vibration is also included. The incoming call history recording unit 43 records the caller number accepted by the incoming call. This record is marked absent if it did not answer the incoming call.

  When the caller number is recorded in the incoming call history recording unit 43 under the control of the incoming call control unit 46, the number verification unit 44 according to the present invention is recorded in the caller number and voice message recording / reproducing unit 32. The received number is compared and a match is output. The automatic response unit 45 receives the control of the incoming call control unit 46, receives the match of the reference number from the number verification unit 44, and responds to the incoming call from the telephone line connection unit 23 to the switching system 2. Of the control procedure of the incoming call control unit 46, the part according to the present invention will be described later with reference to FIG.

  The message transmission communication terminal 10 first accepts and records a communication partner telephone number, which later becomes a message receiving number, from the user to the call history recording unit 25 by the dial pad 24 as a normal operation when making a call. . This receiving number is displayed on the screen display unit 30 by the call control unit 28. The call control unit 28 makes a call from the telephone line connection unit 23 to the switching system 2 when the off-hook information is obtained from the telephone circuit unit 22, and receives it from the dial transmission unit 26 when receiving a dial tone. A call process of sending the destination number is executed.

  Referring to FIG. 5, the message transmission communication terminal 10 receives a ringing tone from the switching system 2 by calling processing (step S21) and waits for a response from the called side (NO in step S22). Here, when there is no call abandonment from the caller due to on-hook, that is, there is no disconnection process (NO in step S23) and there is an operation acceptance of the message setting button 31 (YES in step S24), the incoming call control unit 46 The voice message recording / reproducing unit 32 is driven to prepare for recording a message (step S25). That is, the mouthpiece and the receiver of the transmitter / receiver 21 are connected to the communication path of the voice message recording / reproducing unit 32 via the telephone circuit unit 22, and the telephone line connection unit 23 is disconnected to the switching system 2. At this time, the incoming call notification unit 42 performs an incoming call rejection process (procedure S26) from the switching system 2.

  The disconnection process to the switching system 2 is abandonment of the call from the calling side, and the message transmission communication terminal 10 is made free in the switching system 2 by accepting the release from the switching system 2 and completing the release (step S27). . Further, since the switching system 2 releases the called party, the called communication terminal is released and another incoming call can be accepted. In this embodiment, in step S27, the message recording preparation is completed, and the voice message recording / playback unit 32 transmits voice guidance for prompting the message to be transmitted to the receiving path of the handset 21. Furthermore, the incoming call control unit 46 can also notify the completion of recording preparation (step S28) using a visual display tool such as the display screen unit 30 or a light emitting diode. With this configuration, the input voice from the mouthpiece is recorded in a predetermined telephone voice recording area (step S29).

  When the transmission of the message is finished, the caller confirms the recording result with the voice message playback button 33. Accordingly, when the message transmission communication terminal 10 accepts the voice message reproduction (YES in step S30), the voice message recording / playback unit 32 records the voice message recorded by connecting the voice recording area to the reception path of the handset 21. Is output by an audible sound (step S31). When the caller confirms the message content, the message transmission communication terminal 10 accepts the recording end notification by the message setting button 31 (YES in step S32), so the incoming call rejection cancellation described above is processed (step S33). ) To return to the normal state.

  When step S22 is “YES” and a response is accepted, the ringing tone is stopped and a call (step S34) with the communication partner is started. When the above step S23 accepts the disconnection process with [YES], the incoming call side is disconnected, and the subsequent release completion process (procedure S35) enables the incoming call or the next call.

  The incoming call rejection in the above step S26, for example, receives a call signal and records the caller number in the incoming call history, but interrupts incoming call notification that causes noise during recording of the outgoing message. That is, since the answering machine function is used, the incoming message is not recorded automatically. Alternatively, the incoming call may be rejected by stopping the transmission of a radio signal, such as when the mobile phone is turned off. However, when the recording area capacity of the fixed telephone is large, the outgoing message transmission function can be separated from the answering machine function, so that the incoming message can be received by automatically answering the incoming call during the outgoing message recording.

  As described above, the communication terminal according to the present invention records a message using a telephone voice recording function such as an answering machine, and can deliver the message to the message receiver early, so that even in the case of frequent leaving in a company, A quick response over the phone is possible.

  According to the present invention, when a call is made by using the message recording function of the communication terminal, the user's message is easily recorded as a message together with the reception address, and the caller address matches the reception address when the call is received. In this case, the recorded message can be automatically transmitted. As a result, the present invention can be used as early as possible in any communication terminal including an answering machine function, a message hold function such as a mailbox, or a general landline telephone at the receiving party of the communication partner, In other words, it can be applied to uses where it is necessary and indispensable to communicate quickly.

  Also, as the communication network, the caller number reaches the terminal switch or TA (terminal adapter) on the network side of the user / network interface, so the caller number is sent to the communication terminal connected to the terminal switch or TA. The present invention can be applied more broadly and effectively when using a system capable of transmitting the signal.
