Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a location where a first terminal corresponding to a general telephone number (hereinafter referred to as a personal number) given when an individual subscribes to a fixed telephone network. Wants to use the second terminal as the receiving terminal corresponding to the personal number in place of the first terminal, moving away from the individual to the location of the other second terminal, The individual registers the correspondence between the personal number and the telephone number assigned to the second terminal in the memory of the exchange, and thereafter, if there is an incoming call to the personal number, the exchange will return the incoming call to the memory. The present invention relates to a personal telephone control method for connecting to a second terminal.

[Conventional technology]

In a conventional general telephone, a telephone number is assigned to a subscriber terminal corresponding to a user's subscriber line, so when an individual who is a user is moving to another terminal at another place away from the terminal, It was not possible to call another terminal with the same number. Therefore, a logical number is assigned to an individual, a correspondence table between the logical number and a telephone to be actually called is recorded, and when there is an incoming call to the logical number, a telephone corresponding to the logical number is known based on the correspondence table. If the corresponding telephone is a destination telephone, a personal number communication system has been proposed in which an incoming call is connected thereto.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

In such a personal number communication method, in order to enable an individual to receive a call anywhere, that is, the individual is not necessarily in the office or home where the terminal is installed, but may be in the outdoors or in the car. Therefore, even in such a case, a personal number communication system including a wireless terminal has been desired in order to be able to receive an incoming call if the wireless terminal is nearby.

The present invention has been made in order to respond to such a technical problem, and accordingly, an object of the present invention is to assign a general telephone number to an individual and allow the individual to wirelessly operate as a terminal corresponding to the general telephone number. When a terminal is registered, an incoming call to the general telephone number is to provide a personal telephone control method that enables connection to the wireless terminal.

[Means for solving the problem]

To achieve the above object, in the present invention, in a personal telephone control method, a general telephone number is used as a personal number to be given to an individual,
The calling terminal either dials the other party's telephone number and also creates and adds the calling terminal number (calling ID) itself, or creates it at the local exchange, Can also be sent, and the memory of the local exchange
The correspondence between the personal number and the wireless terminal number (arriving ID) is registered, and a personal control device that records the calling ID and the calling ID in association with each other is newly provided. The wireless terminal is called using the correspondence of the called ID, the calling terminal is notified that the call is being made, and is temporarily on-hook.
When a call arrives at the originating terminal, the station that accommodates the originating terminal detects it and calls the originating terminal to go off-hook. In this case, the calling terminal corresponds to the called side when viewed from the wireless terminal, but regardless of this, charging control is performed, which is a burden on the calling terminal.

[Action]

According to the present invention, when an incoming call is received by a wireless terminal with a personal number consisting of a general telephone number, after connecting to the destination exchange, the calling terminal goes on-hook and waits, and a response is returned from the called terminal within a predetermined time. When there is, it reconnects and talks as an incoming charge.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 100 and 115 are ordinary telephones, 101, 103 and 112 are LS exchanges (subscriber exchanges), 102 and 114 are TS exchanges (transit exchanges), 104 and 113 are memories for storing subscriber information, and 105 is a correspondence of call ID. Personal control device with memory, 106 is a paging radio station, 1
07, 108, 109, and 110 are wireless base stations, and 111 is a portable wireless terminal.

Here, the terminal 100 has a function of adding a calling ID, which is the terminal number of the own terminal, at the time of making a call and transmitting the call, or in the LS exchange 101, since the terminal 100 is the accommodation terminal, the calling ID is So, when you call terminal 100,
It is assumed that the LS exchange 101 functions so as to be added and transmitted.

The LS exchanges 101, 103, and 112 each have a function of transferring a combination of a calling ID and a called ID as a calling and receiving ID, and the same applies to the TS switches 102 and 114, the personal control device 105, and the simultaneous paging station 106. Shall be.

Further, it is assumed that the personal control device 105 and the LS exchanges 101, 103, and 112 can respectively store combinations of the calling ID and the called ID as a correspondence table.

As will be described later in detail in the description of the operation, the calling terminal temporarily goes on-hook in the process of calling connection and waits for the called terminal (wireless terminal) to make a call.
When it comes, the calling terminal goes off-hook and is connected to the receiving terminal (wireless terminal). At that time, the calling terminal appears to the wireless terminal as if it were a receiving terminal. Although it is temporary, originally the calling terminal originated a call to the wireless terminal, and the call charge burden must be the calling terminal in view of the principle of the caller's burden, so apparently the calling terminal Therefore, even if the originating terminal is temporarily a receiving terminal, a personal control device is provided so that the originating terminal bears the burden of the call charge in the end,
Upon receiving a charging instruction from 105, the calling LS exchange on the transmitting side performs such charging control.

FIG. 2 is an operation sequence diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

The operation of one embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. First, the case of receiving a call to a wired terminal by a personal number will be described. However, since this is not the subject of the present invention, it is not shown in FIG.

Subscriber exchange 10 from terminal 100 (departure ID: 0422-59-9999)
1, When there is an incoming call to the terminating exchange 103 via the transit exchange 102, in the subscriber memory 104 of the terminating exchange 103, after it is determined that the personal number is an incoming call to the priority terminal 115,
By the same control as the call transfer of the switching network,
Extend the connection to 115 incoming exchanges 112, 100-101-102-10
Connect via the route 3-105-112-115.

As another method, by using the function of the common channel signaling network (not shown), the caller ID is transferred from the exchange 101 to the exchange 103 via the common channel signaling network (not shown). At 103, based on the contents of the memory 104, the routing information to the exchange 112 of the actual connection destination is notified to the originating exchange 101 via a common channel signal network (not shown), and thereafter the connection from the exchange 101 to the exchange 112 is made. After that, an incoming connection is made to the terminal 115.

Next, the case of receiving a call to the wireless terminal using the personal number will be described. Since this operation is shown in FIG.
See also the figures.

First, when a general telephone subscriber calls a wireless terminal with a personal number, a call is made from the general telephone 100 (calling ID: 0422-59-9999), and the calling ID (0422-59-9999) is added by the LS exchange 101. Is transferred to the destination exchange 103 via the relay exchange TS102 together with the dialed ID (for example, 03-509-1234).

The terminating exchange 103 searches the memory 104 for subscriber information based on the terminating ID (03-509-1234), and when it is known that the actual terminal corresponding to the terminating ID is a wireless terminal, should be called. The calling ID and the called ID are transferred to the personal control device 105 which manages the paging radio station 106.

The personal control device 105 records the received calling ID and called ID in pairs in a memory,
To call the wireless terminal 111 corresponding to the destination ID. On the other hand, the personal control device 105, via the common channel signal network,
The guidance indicating "calling" is sent to the originating exchange 101. In response to this, the calling terminal 100 goes on-hook and waits.

At this time, the paging radio station 106 adds a calling ID (0422-59-9999) together with a signal specifying the radio terminal 111 (such as a signal radio number corresponding to 03-509-1234) and calls. In the called wireless terminal 111, the calling ID included in the received incoming signal is
A response signal is returned to the nearest wireless base station 110 based on (0422-59-9999). The wireless base station 110 transfers the destination ID signal (0422-59-9999) to the LS switch 112, and based on this, the switch 112
Is reversely connected to the exchange 101 via the relay exchange 114.

Prior to this, the LS exchange 101 sets the ID (0422-59-999) based on the incoming charging instruction from the personal control device 105.
For 9), it is prepared to control the receiving side billing (billing to 0422-59-9999) if there is an incoming call within a certain time from the ID (03-509-1234) . In the LS exchange 101 receiving the incoming call through the reverse connection, the specified ID (0422-59-9
999), the incoming call is from the specified ID (03-509-1234), so incoming call charging control (such as controlling not to return a response signal that triggers start of charging to the calling LS exchange 112 in this case)
I do.

If an incoming call due to this reverse connection is made within the specified time, an unillustrated timer for counting the designated time is stopped, and the incoming call thereafter becomes normal calling party billing. If there is no incoming call due to a response from the specified terminal within the specified time, the timer times out and stops. In this case as well, the subsequent incoming calls will be the usual calling side billing.

In the above description, an example is shown in which the calling ID sent from the calling side is added to the calling signal from the paging radio station. The number may be determined and transmitted. However, in that case, it is necessary to make correspondence between the logical number and the actual calling ID in the network. For example, all the responses from the wireless terminal can be connected to the control device, and the control device can be connected back to the first calling side.

Further, it is conceivable to add an exchange number at the time of a paging call and to designate an exchange through which the wireless terminal is to be connected when a reverse connection is made. This method can also be used to distribute traffic.

Further, in the above description, the case where the calling-side fixed terminal is held on-hook after dialing has been described. However, a method of performing communication while waiting for a response from the wireless terminal in the off-hook state may be considered. In the case of the off-hook method, it is necessary to hold the "call" at the destination exchange or the control device. Therefore, it is necessary to include the number of the exchange holding the "call" in the call signal to the radio line. Then, a mechanism for connecting the response from the wireless side to the hold exchange based on this number is required. Also, it is necessary to assign a logical number to the “call” and identify it.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, when a call is received at a wireless terminal with a personal number, the call is received with a caller ID added,
After the location of the wireless terminal is specified, the response is made to reverse connection based on this calling ID, and the billing at this time is controlled so as to be billed to the calling party first. In addition, personal number communication can be performed using a general telephone number in the same manner as a normal telephone, and there is an effect that user convenience is improved.
