  In the technology described in Patent Document 1, when a PDA is connected to an extension telephone, the telephone exchange acquires personal data that is not registered in its own phone book data from the phone book data of the PDA, and then uses its own phone book. Append to data. However, personal data may change due to movement of departments, transfers, etc. Adding personal data that is not scheduled to be used at that time to the telephone directory data of the telephone exchange wastes memory resources of the telephone exchange. There is a possibility to do.

  In the technique described in Patent Document 1, the telephone book data of the telephone exchange and the telephone book data of the PDA are complemented in units of personal data, and there is nothing about supplementing a part of the personal data of the same person. Not considered. Even the personal data of the same person is freely edited depending on the user or application, and there are cases where the description format of information of a certain item is different or the item in which the information is registered is different. For example, as personal data of the same person, detailed information such as name, company name, department, etc. is registered in the phone book data of the telephone exchange, in addition to the phone number, and other than the phone number in the PDA phone book data. In some cases, only those abbreviations are registered. In such a case, since the personal data of the same person exists in the telephone book data of the telephone exchange and the PDA, the telephone book data of the telephone exchange and the PDA is not supplemented by the technique described in Patent Document 1. In addition, as a telephone number of personal data of the same person, a mobile number may be registered in the telephone directory data of the PDA, and a dial-in number may be registered in the telephone directory data of the telephone exchange. In such a case, according to the technique described in Patent Document 1, since the personal data is determined as personal data of another person whose telephone numbers do not match, the telephone directory data of the telephone exchange and the PDA are complemented.

  When the search request destination telephone terminal receives the search request from the search request source telephone terminal, the description format of the registration information by the operator, such as an email address and a telephone number, is obtained from the personal data added to the search request. Information on items that are unlikely to be different (referred to as editing restriction items) is extracted, and personal data including information that matches information on any editing restriction item is searched from its own phone book data. If personal data including information that matches the information in the edit restriction item of the personal data added to the search request can be searched, the search result report with the personal data added is transmitted to the telephone terminal of the search request source. To do.

  On the other hand, if personal data containing information that matches the information in the personal data editing restriction item added to the search request could not be searched, operation such as name, company name, etc. from the personal data added to the search request Extract information on items (called editable items) whose registration information description format may differ depending on the user's editing, and store personal data including information that partially matches information on any editable item Search from phone book data. Then, the search result report to which the searched personal data is added is transmitted to the search requesting telephone terminal.

  When receiving the search result report from the search request destination telephone terminal, the search request source telephone terminal displays the personal data added to the search result.

For example, the present invention is a telephone terminal provided with a communication means other than a telephone,
Phone book storage means for storing personal data including contact phone numbers for each person;
When the operator receives designation of personal data to be searched from the personal data stored in the telephone directory storage unit, the operator receives the search target telephone terminal via the communication unit. A search request means for sending a search request with personal data added thereto;
Search result display means for displaying personal data added to the search result report when a search result report is received from the search request destination telephone terminal via the communication means;
Items where there is no possibility that information will be registered in different description formats depending on the operator from the personal data added to the search request when a search request is received from the telephone terminal of the search request source via the communication means A search means for extracting information on editing restriction items set in advance as, and searching the telephone directory storage means for personal data including information that matches the information on any of the extracted editing restriction items;
As an item in which information may be registered in a different description format depending on the operator from personal data added to the search request received from the search request source telephone terminal when the search by the search means fails. Partial match search means for extracting information on predetermined editable items and searching personal data including information partially matching with information on any of the extracted editable items from the telephone directory storage means When,
Search result reporting means for transmitting a search result report to which the personal data searched by the search means or the partial match search means is added to the search requesting telephone terminal via the communication means.

  According to the present invention, personal data registered in the telephone directory data of each telephone terminal can be mutually used without increasing the capacity of the telephone directory data of each telephone terminal.

In response to this, the slide transmission control unit 174 selects an unselected telephone number from among the telephone numbers of the editing restriction items specified in this transmission instruction in accordance with a predetermined order according to the number type, for example. (S94). Then, in cooperation with the IP telephone function unit 12, a call is made to the selected telephone number (S95).

  If the destination does not respond within the predetermined time (NO in S96), the slide transmission control unit 174 determines whether there is an unselected telephone number among the telephone numbers of the editing restriction items specified in the transmission instruction. (S97). If there is an unselected telephone number (YES in S97), the process returns to S94. On the other hand, if there is no unselected telephone number (NO in S97) or if there is a response from the callee within a predetermined time (YES in S96), this flow is terminated and the flow returns to the flow shown in FIG.

  If there is no unselected telephone number (NO in S97), that is, if the request cannot be sent, a request outgoing mail cannot be sent to the destination of the outgoing request mail and the request cannot be sent. This may be notified to the transmission destination.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the search process (S7 in FIG. 5).

  First, the search request receiving unit 161 includes information (characters) of editing restriction items (excluding extension numbers) specified by the tag 1515 from the search target personal data described in the mail text 1514 of the search request mail 1510. Column) is extracted (S70). The extracted edit restriction item information is passed to the exact match search unit 162.

  In response to this, the exact match search unit 162 replaces the record 140 in which the extracted information of any editing restriction item completely matches the information registered in the corresponding fields 145 and 147 to 149 with the telephone directory storage unit 14. (S71). If such a record 140 can be searched (YES in S72), the search request receiving unit 161 is notified of the personal data registered in the record 140. The search request reception unit 161 notifies the search result report transmission unit 164 of the personal data received from the exact match search unit 162 and the mail address of the transmission source 1513 of the search request mail 1510.

  The search result report transmission unit 164 uses the mail address received from the search request reception unit 161 as the transmission destination 1642, and describes the information of each item of the personal data 1645 received from the search request reception unit 161 in the mail body 1644 along with the tag 1646. Then, the search result report mail 1640 is created (S73). Then, the search result report mail 1640 is transmitted to the IP telephone terminal 1 as the search request source via the electronic mail function unit 13 and the network interface unit 10 (S79).

  On the other hand, when the record 140 in which the information of any editing restriction item extracted from the personal data to be searched matches the information registered in the corresponding fields 145 and 147 to 149 could not be searched (NO in S72). The exact match search unit 162 notifies the search request receiving unit 161 to that effect. In response to this, the search request receiving unit 161 extracts the information (character string) of the editable item specified by the tag 1515 from the personal data to be searched described in the mail body 1514 of the search request mail 1510. (S 74), the extracted editable item information is passed to the partial match search unit 163.

  In response to this, the partial match search unit 163 searches the telephone directory storage unit 14 for a record 140 in which the information of any extracted editable item partially matches the information registered in the corresponding fields 142 to 144. (S75). If at least one such record 140 can be searched (YES in S76), the personal data registered in each searched record 140 is set to the degree of coincidence with the editable item information of the personal data to be searched. The search request receiving unit 161 is notified with the priority order determined accordingly. The search request reception unit 161 notifies the search result report transmission unit 164 of the personal data with priority received from the partial match search unit 163 and the mail address of the transmission source 1513 of the search request mail 1510.

  The search result report transmitting unit 164 sets the mail address received from the search request receiving unit 161 as the transmission destination 1642, and sets the mail text 1644 in the personal data 1645 according to the priority of the personal data 1645 received from the search request receiving unit 161. Is described together with the tag 1646 for each item to create a search result report mail 1640 (S77). Then, the search result report mail 1640 is transmitted to the IP telephone terminal 1 as the search request source via the electronic mail function unit 13 and the network interface unit 10 (S79), and this flow is terminated, as shown in FIG. Return to flow.

  On the other hand, when the record 140 in which the information of any editable item extracted from the personal data to be searched cannot partially match the information registered in the corresponding fields 142 to 144 cannot be searched (NO in S76), the partial The match search unit 163 notifies the search request receiving unit 161 to that effect. The search request reception unit 161 notifies the search result report transmission unit 164 that there is no hit case together with the email address of the transmission source 1513 of the search request email 1510.

  In response to this, the search result report transmission unit 164 creates a search result report email 1640 with the email address received from the search request reception unit 161 as the transmission destination 1642 and the email text 1644 as blank (S78). Then, the search result report mail 1640 is transmitted to the IP telephone terminal 1 as the search request source via the electronic mail function unit 13 and the network interface unit 10 (S79).

  Next, an operation example of the search request source and the search request destination IP telephone terminal 1 will be described.

Accept selection. The IP telephone terminal 1A as the search request source uses the personal data registered in the selected record 140 as the personal data to be searched, and uses the search request mail 1510 in which the personal data to be searched is described in the mail body 1514. The search request mail 1510 is created and transmitted to the IP telephone terminal 1B as the search request destination (S102).

  When the search request destination IP telephone terminal 1B receives the search request mail 1510 from the search request source IP telephone terminal 1A, it extracts the personal data to be searched from the mail text 1514 of the search request mail 1510, and Based on the personal data, the record 140 is retrieved from its own telephone directory storage unit 14 (S103). Specifically, first, the record 140 in which information that completely matches the information of any editing restriction item included in the personal data to be searched is registered in the editing restriction item is searched. When such a record 140 cannot be searched, the record 140 in which information that at least partially matches information of any editable item included in the personal data to be searched is registered in the editable item is searched. To do.

  Next, the IP telephone terminal 1B as the search request destination creates a search result report mail 1640 in which the personal data registered in the searched record 140 is described in the mail text 1644, and searches this search result report mail 1640. The request is transmitted to the requesting IP telephone terminal 1A (S104).

  Upon receiving the search result report mail 1640 from the search request destination IP telephone terminal 1B, the search request source IP telephone terminal 1A extracts the search result personal data 1645 from the mail text 1644 of the search result report mail 1640. The personal data search result is displayed based on the personal data 1645 (S105). Then, the operator waits for “transmission” or “transmission request” for any personal data to be selected from the personal data 1532 being displayed as a search result.

  Next, the IP telephone terminal 1A as the search request source transmits this personal data when “transmission” for any of the personal data 1532 is selected from the personal data 1532 being displayed as a search result (S106). The phone number of the editing restriction item is extracted from the personal data 1532 of the transmission destination and the personal data 1531 of the search target. Then, a slide call is made according to the order determined according to the number type (in this embodiment, “mobile number”, “DID number”, “representative number”) with respect to the telephone number in the extracted editing restriction items. (S107).

  Next, an operation example when the IP telephone terminal (extension terminal) 1B as the search request destination transmits will be described with reference to FIG.

  Here, since the process of S111-S115 is the same as the process of S101-S105 shown to FIG. 9 (A), only the process after S116 is demonstrated.

  When the IP phone terminal 1A as the search request source selects "call request" for any of the personal data 1532 from the personal data 1532 being displayed as a search result (S116), this personal data is sent to the destination address. The personal ID set in the personal data, the personal ID included in the personal data 1532 of the transmission destination, and the telephone number of the editing restriction item included in the personal data 1531 to be searched, and included in the personal data 1532 of the transmission destination A transmission request mail 1710 in which the telephone number of the editing restriction item that has not been described is described in the mail text 1714 is created. Then, the transmission request mail 1710 is transmitted to the IP telephone terminal 1B of the search request destination (transmission request destination) that is the transmission source of the search result report mail 1640 (S117).

  Upon receiving the call request mail 1710 from the search request source IP telephone terminal 1A, the search request destination IP telephone terminal 1B extracts the personal ID and the phone number of the editing restriction item from the mail text 1714 of the call request mail 1710. Further, editing restrictions other than the editing restriction items extracted from the mail text 1714 from the personal data record 140 of the transmission destination stored in the telephone directory storage unit 14 using the personal ID extracted from the mail text 1714 as a key. Extract the phone number of the item. Then, a slide call is made according to the order determined in accordance with the number type (in this embodiment, “mobile number”, “DID number”, “representative number”) with respect to the extracted telephone number of the editing restriction item. (S118).

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described above.
