Next, the operation of the communication system 500 in the fifth embodiment will be described.
The processing of the call operation in the communication system 500 is the same as that described in the first embodiment, so that the description will be referred to and the call request notification operation will be described below.

  In the fifth embodiment, on the transmitting side, it is possible to transmit a call request notification to a plurality of destination telephones by operating the call request button 13b once. Hereinafter, each process for transmitting a call request notification to a plurality of destinations will be described.

FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the destination addition button processing executed by the CPU 11 every time the destination telephone number is input by the dial button group 13a and the destination addition button 13f is pressed in any of the telephones 1A to 1C. It is.
Note that the telephone number of the other party input by the dial button group 13a is displayed on the display panel 14a.

First, the telephone number displayed on the display panel 14a is acquired (step S151).
Next, the acquired telephone number is added to the telephone number information list storage unit 153 (step S152), and the destination addition button process ends. The telephone number added to the telephone number information list storage unit 153 is deleted from the display panel 14a, and the next telephone number can be input.

  FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing a call request button process E executed when the call request button 13b is pressed in any of the telephones 1A to 1C.

  First, the telephone number displayed on the display panel 14a is acquired (step S161), and the acquired telephone number is added to the telephone number information list storage unit 153 (step S162).

Next, the telephone number information list stored in the telephone number information list storage unit 153 is acquired (step S163), and it is determined whether there is an untransmitted telephone number in the acquired telephone number information list (step S163). S164).
When it is determined that there is no unsent telephone number in the telephone number information list (step S164; NO), the call request button process E ends.

If it is determined that there is an unsent telephone number in the telephone number information list (step S164; YES), the unsent telephone number is acquired as the destination telephone number (step S165), and the destination telephone is previously set. Call request information for displaying a call request notification for a predetermined time is created (step S166). Then, the call request information is transmitted to the destination telephone number by the communication control unit 17 via the communication network N (step S167).
In step S167, specifically, the other party telephone number and the call request information are transmitted as signals to the line of the communication network N by the communication control unit 17. When the signal reaches the circuit switch, the circuit switch identifies the transmission source telephone number, adds the transmission source telephone number to the call request information, and transmits it to the destination telephone number. After the transmission, the telephone number that is the destination is deleted from the telephone number information list storage unit 153.

  After the transmission of the call request information, the process returns to step S164, and the processes of steps S164 to S167 are performed until the transmission of the call request information to all the telephone numbers in the telephone number information list is completed (until there are no untransmitted telephone numbers). Is repeatedly executed. When it is determined that the transmission of the call request information to all the telephone numbers in the telephone number information list is completed and there are no untransmitted telephone numbers (step S164; NO), the call request button process E ends.

In this way, by adding the destination telephone number of the desired call information with the destination addition button 13f, it becomes possible to transmit the desired call information collectively to a plurality of destination telephone numbers.
The operation of each telephone that has received the call request information is the same as the call request notification display process of FIG.

In addition, when there is an incoming call from any of the plurality of telephones that transmitted the call request information, the cancel information instructing cancellation of the call request notification is transmitted to the other party's telephone that transmitted the call request information, It is good also as stopping the telephone call notification of another telephone.
For example, after transmitting the call request information in the call request button process D, the CPU 11 stores transmission history information such as a transmission time, a destination telephone number, and a display end time in the storage unit 15 and is stored in the storage unit 15. When there is an incoming call from any of the other party telephone numbers of the transmission history information, the display cancel button process shown in FIG. 20 is performed to transmit the display cancellation information to the other party telephone numbers of the transmission history information. It is good as well. The telephone that has received the display cancel information executes the display cancel reception process shown in FIG. 21, and stops outputting the call request notification.

  In this way, it is possible to prevent such a problem that the call request information is sent to a plurality of destinations, but the transmission side becomes busy with the call and cannot be dealt with even if the other party is called.

  Also, in the fifth embodiment, the case where the destination addition button 13f is provided on the telephones 1A and 1B in the first embodiment has been described as an example, but the telephone 1A of the second to fourth embodiments is described. 1B (1C) may be provided with a destination addition button 13f so that a plurality of destination telephone numbers can be input, and the desired call information may be transmitted to each of the plurality of input destination telephones.

  The first to fifth embodiments have been described above. However, the description in the above embodiments is a preferred example of the communication system according to the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this.

For example, in the above embodiment, the call request notification such as a call request message has been described as being displayed on the display panel 14a or the call request display device 14b as output means, but may be output by voice or the like. .
In the above embodiment, the destination telephone number is input from the dial button group 13a to specify the destination telephone. However, the telephone directory is registered in the storage unit 15 in advance. A configuration may be adopted in which the telephone number of the other party is specified (selected) from the telephone directory.
In the above embodiment, the setting unit and the display unit of the display period (output period) of the call request notification are set as the time unit. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the display time may be set or displayed in units of days such as 1 day, 2 days, or the like.
