Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a terminal adapter for ISDN, which is characterized by a method for processing a call.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, ISDN lines have been provided, so that not only analog devices but also digital terminal devices can be connected to the lines and used as in the past.

[0003]

In this conventional system,
If the connected device does not have a function to display the menu list of the called party and a function to output the information when selected, the calling device (phone number) must be manually input from the analog device. Therefore, there is a problem that the operation becomes complicated.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve such a problem, the present invention provides a digital device having a call destination selection function for selecting a call destination from a digital device, and an analog device.
Or, out of the call information from the digital device,
Mode to place a call with priority on call information, from analog device
A mode in which a call is made using only the
Any of the modes to make outgoing calls based only on outgoing call information from the device
Priority processing input means for selecting one of the modes, and priority processing
According to the mode set by the input means,
Or call originating from digital device based on call information.
Call judgment processing means .

[0005]

In order to make a call from a digital device, it is possible to directly make a call using the calling function of the device. In addition, since it has a calling selection function, a digital device can also make a call from the analog device side as before.

[0006]

1 and 2 are block diagrams of one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, a personal computer 6 which is a digital device has a database 10 from which necessary ones are selected. It has a calling function to make a call.

FIG. 1 shows a selection means for selecting a digital device or an analog device. A call information input interface mechanism 1 is supplied with call information from a digital device such as a personal computer 6, and an analog communication device interface mechanism 3 is provided. Call information from an analog telephone, a facsimile, or the like is supplied, and this device determines which call information to call according to a priority processing input mechanism 2
Set in advance with.

[0008] The setting is performed in such a manner that, out of the call information of the call information input interface mechanism 1 or the analog communication equipment interface mechanism 3, the preceding information is prioritized to make a call.
The mode and the second mode for calling based on only one of the call information from the call information input interface 1 or the analog communication device interface 3 can be selected.

When the first mode for calling according to the preceding information is selected, the call judging processing section 4 sends the call from the analog communication device interface mechanism 3 only when there is no call information from the call information input interface mechanism 1. A call is made based on the call information. If the call information from the call information input interface mechanism 1 has already been given, control is performed so that the call information from the analog communication device interface mechanism 3 is ignored.

When the second mode for making a call based on only one of the information is selected and the priority processing input mechanism 2 is set to make a call based on the call information from the call information input interface mechanism 1 In this case, the call information from the analog communication device interface mechanism 3 is ignored, and a call is made based on the information input by the call information input interface mechanism 1. Also, the priority processing input mechanism 2 is set so that a call is made based on the call information of the analog communication device interface mechanism 3.
Is set, the call determination processing unit 4 is configured to make a call based on the information of the analog communication device interface mechanism 3.
Is controlled, and the call information from the call information input interface mechanism 1 is ignored.

[0011] Finally, layer 1 including call information
Information is output to the ISDN net by the processing mechanism 5.

In FIG. 2, a personal computer 6
Has a call originating function of displaying a partner or business contents to be called based on a database, and allowing an operator to select desired contents from display contents from an input device such as a keyboard.
When a call is made from a digital device, the personal computer 6 selects a desired communication partner from among the communication partners displayed on a display unit (not shown).
And sends it to the calling information input interface mechanism 1 via the RS232C interface.

When the judgment processing section 4 is set to accept a call from a digital device, the call information is transmitted from the call information input interface 1, the call judgment processing section 4, and the layer 1 processing mechanism 5. Is sent to the ISDN net via the Internet, and a call is made. When the call is completed and the connection is made, a predetermined signal is returned to the personal computer 6, which is recognized by a modem or the like, and communication is started. When the communication ends, the personal computer 6 performs an end process according to a predetermined procedure.

On the other hand, when a call is made from an analog device, if the analog device is composed of an analog wireless telephone and a store telephone connected wirelessly to the analog wireless telephone, the child telephone 7
When a call request enters the analog wireless telephone 9 and a connection request is issued from the analog wireless telephone 9 to the analog communication device interface mechanism 3, the call control determining section 4 sets the priority processing input mechanism 2 set in advance. , And requests the layer 1 processing mechanism 5 for calling processing.

When the connection is completed, the layer 1 processing mechanism 5 notifies the analog wireless telephone 9 of the completion of the connection via the analog communication device interface mechanism 3. After the connection is completed, the analog wireless telephone 9 and the telephone handset 7
And voice information is sequentially transmitted to the ISDN net via the layer 1 processing unit 5.

Which call information is to be called based on the priority processing setting switch 8 is set in advance, and three modes can be set with this switch as described above.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, a digital device is provided with a calling function, and it is possible to select whether to call from a digital device or an analog device. Since there is no need to make a call from the digital device, the digital device can make a call without relying on analog devices, and since it has a selection function,
This has the effect that a call can be made from an analog device as before.
