2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the strategicization of business activities of companies, the use of information communication in companies has been increasing, and information communication has become indispensable. In addition, the corporate environment is uncertain, and business sites, that is, offices, are required to have information communication that can timely follow business activities that can respond to various requests from customers. For example, the terminals and the like provided in the office are relocated due to frequent or urgent organizational changes within the company, and the “communication use conditions” such as telephone numbers are also updated. Alternatively, with the opening of a new office, prompt start of operation of a new information communication device may be required.

Under such an environment, information communication equipment is required to be a "quick and economical mechanism" in response to construction such as new installation and relocation of information communication equipment (hereinafter referred to as "line construction"). Is an important issue.

In a communication device, when a so-called “communication use condition” such as “calling number” of a personal computer or the like or “communication speed or line class (attribute)” is changed and connected to another line, It is necessary to update the information of “calling number” and “attribute” in the stored “line data” based on the contents of the change of the communication use condition described above.

[0005] For example, in the line construction in the PBX, it is necessary to update a plurality of setting information constituting "line data" through a console operation based on "communication use conditions" newly determined by a user in advance. is there.

Examples of "setting information" of PBX line data include extension number, terminal type, section-specific information, office line class, and general service class.

[0007] For this purpose, it is necessary to have the knowledge to select parameters for each setting information in the line data according to the new communication use conditions, and register these new "line data" from the console. Commands (instructions) must be mastered. In order to complete the line work promptly, the line worker needs to be familiar with these specialized knowledge and know-how.

Further, in the case of the conventional technique, there is a problem that unless the above-mentioned "communication use conditions" for each terminal are determined by the user, "line data" cannot be created and cannot be registered. . That is, the line construction is not completed.

Conventional "switches and digital multiplexers"
The "line accommodating position number" in a communication device such as that described above is the position information of the physical and electrical line terminals inside the communication device, such as a terminal, and corresponds to the position information of the entrance and exit terminals of a so-called "lattice switch". I do. The “line accommodating position number” of such a communication device is used for control to enable communication between “lines such as terminals” inside the communication device. number"
This information is used exclusively for internal control of the communication device, and the communication device does not have a "control structure" for transmitting the "line accommodation position number" to the outside via a line.

[0010] The communication device is a "calling number" of a terminal or the like.
In order to enable data communication with the other party,
It is well known that it has a "control structure" for transmitting and receiving to and from other communication devices and terminals via a line.

[0011]

As described above, in order to provide information communication corresponding to flexible business activities in a timely manner, the following problems have occurred.

[Problem 1] A large number of engineers with specialized knowledge capable of quickly and quickly processing the line construction of the current information communication equipment are required by companies or construction specialists of information communication systems. Need to be secured.

[0013] That is, in a multi-vendor environment, it is necessary to recruit highly skilled workers and train professionals who are familiar with information and communication equipment of each company. This is a factor that hinders efficient utilization of management resources. It is one.

[Problem 2] In the conventional line data registration method, unless a user of a terminal or the like determines a new “communication use condition” of the terminal or the like, a constructor cannot create “line data”. .

If the operation start time cannot be postponed,
If the determination of the communication use conditions is delayed, a trouble in the process occurs, in which the line construction period is reduced. What is said in question 1 is getting more serious.

[Problem 3] Accordingly, in order for the communication device to transmit (the information of) the “line accommodating position number” to the additional device via the line, the communication device and the additional device are as follows. The problem arises that extra control functions must be developed.

The "line accommodating position number" can be output to the outside via the line of the communication device. The communication device needs to newly develop a "control function" related to the control structure of the communication device.

Further, it is necessary to provide a "process" for carrying the "line accommodation position number" for the "signal transfer protocol (procedure)" in the line connecting the communication device and the additional device.

For example, an information area (information bit or the like) for carrying the information is selected from the protocol and defined. When a standard protocol is used for the "signal transfer protocol", problems such as selecting an information area so as not to overlap with the standard must be solved.

An object of the present invention is to automatically generate line data.

[0021]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the principle of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a communication device, 2 denotes a terminal, etc., 3 denotes an additional device, 20 denotes a line, 30 denotes a line, "20" denotes a line accommodation position number, and I20A denotes "initial calling number" and "initial attribute".
And

A terminal, a communication device, and an additional device have a connection configuration as shown in FIG. 1 so that “line data” can be edited and registered by cooperative processing between the additional device 3 and the communication device 1 via a line 30. I have to. A terminal or the like 2 is connected to the communication device 1 via a line 20, and the additional device 3 is connected to the communication device 1 via a line 30. In addition, a logical “channel (CH) for transmission / reception of control information” is provided “in the line 30” or “in an interface that enables cooperative control between the communication device 1 and the additional device 3”.

The editing / registration control of the "line data" can be realized by using the following information, and the "line accommodating position number" and the "initial calling number and initial attribute" in the communication device (1) are stored in the communication device (1). It is registered and stored in the communication device 1 as "initial line data" in one-to-one correspondence.

"20": The line accommodation position number of the communication device 1 to which the line 20 is connected, corresponding to the number of lines of the communication device. I20A: Information indicating "initial calling number, initial attribute", which is "I20: legend of initial calling number, A: legend of initial attribute".

The "initial calling number and initial attribute information (I20A)" associated with the line accommodating position number "20" of the communication apparatus 1 to which the line 20 is connected is assigned to the line accommodating position number "I20A". 20 "and" initial line data "are registered and accumulated in the communication device 1 from the console of the communication device 1.

The internal processing of the communication device 1 relating to the editing / registration control of "line data" is performed as follows. A)
When there is an outgoing request from the terminal 2 or the like in which the “initial line data” is registered, the communication device 1 enables communication between the line 20 and the line 30. B) The communication device 1 "Initial calling number I20" instead of "20"
C) The terminal or the like 2 transmits the “calling number (YY)” and the “attribute (ZZ)” to the additional device 3 based on the usage conditions of its own communication. D) The additional device 3 1 and the “calling number (YY)” and “attribute (ZZ)” transmitted from the terminal 2 etc.
After the attribute information is prepared, the data is edited into "pre-line data".

[0027]

When the communication device 1 receives a transmission request from the terminal 2 or the like via the line 20, the communication device 1 identifies the transmission as an initial transmission and enables data communication between the line 30 to which the additional device 3 is connected and the line 20. I do.

The communication device 1 includes a terminal or the like 2 that has requested transmission.
"Initial Calling Number (I20)" in "Initial Calling Number and Initial Attribute Information (I20A)" corresponding to the line accommodating position number "20" in place of the line accommodating position number "20" Is transmitted to the additional device 3 via the line 30.

In a state in which data communication between the terminal 2 or the like and the additional device 3 is possible, the terminal 2 transmits its own “calling number (YY)” and “attribute (ZZ)” to the additional device 3. The additional device 3 associates the “initial calling number (I20)” transmitted from the communication device 1 with the “calling number (YY)” and “attribute (ZZ)” transmitted from the terminal or the like 2 on a one-to-one basis.

Further, based on “rules and know-how of detailed attribute information necessary for communication” stored in advance in the additional device 3, the additional device 3 adds “detailed attribute” information to “attribute (ZZ)”. And add it to “Attribute (XX)”
Process.

The "initial calling number (I20)", "calling number (YY)", and "attribute (XX)" are "pre-line data". The additional device 3 is connected to the communication device 1 via a logical “control information transmission / reception channel (CH)”.
The "pre-line data" is transferred.

The communication device 1 associates the stored “initial line data” with the received “pre-line data” on a one-to-one basis, and edits and stores it as “line data”. The edited result is as follows.

"Initial line data" = "Line accommodation position number" 20 ":" Initial calling number (I20), initial attribute (A) "" Terminal transmission data "=" Initial calling number (I20) ":" Calling "Number (YY)""Attribute(ZZ)""Pre-linedata" = "Initial calling number (I20)": "Calling number (YY)""Attribute(XX)""Linedata" = "Line accommodation position number" 20 ":" Calling number (YY) "" Attribute (XX) "If the contents of the" initial line data management table (60) "are stored in advance in the additional device (3), the additional device (3 It is apparent in principle) that the above-mentioned "line data" can be created.

That is, the additional device (3) can directly edit the "pre-line data" into "line data" and send the data to the communication device (1).
