Description

  The present invention relates to a technique in which another worker notifies an absence from a nearby seat when an incoming call is addressed to an absentee.

  In recent years, an organization that provides each operator with a portable telephone is increasing.

  An operator carries a telephone during a meeting or the like, but in many cases of leaving a telephone for a short time, the telephone is left in the charger.

  On the other hand, when there is an incoming call to an absentee due to out-of-office, there are many cases where surrounding workers do not appear on their behalf and call back after looking at the incoming call history after the person returns.

  At this time, the caller must continue to send the call without knowing the absence of the other party, and the surrounding workers will be heard for a long time.

As a related technique, when there is an incoming call, the incoming call history is recorded and an incoming call is notified. When the user notices the incoming call and responds, it transitions to a call or end call and then enters a standby state. When the user hangs up without knowing the incoming call and the other party does not answer, an incoming call is displayed. At this time, if an external power feeder is connected, the backlight is blinked. If no external power supply is connected, the backlight remains off. When the user notices the flashing of the backlight, performs a predetermined operation and confirms the incoming call history, the backlight is turned off, and further, the display with the incoming call is erased, and a technology is put in a standby state (for example, Patent Document 1).
