DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage capacity control method for a voice storage device for controlling the allocation of a storage memory for holding a message addressed to each user in a voice storage device connected to a PBX and a key telephone device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The allocation of storage memories for holding messages addressed to each user in a voice storage device is limited to a certain number because the storage memories are limited.

FIG. 2 illustrates a storage capacity control method of a conventional voice storage device. In the figure, 4a
Is a storage memory, which holds a message addressed to user # 1. In the example, 100 messages from message # 1 to message # 100 can be held in the storage memory 4a holding the message addressed to the user # 1. Similarly, 4b is a storage memory, which can hold up to 100 messages addressed to user # 2. All 100 storage memories 4a are used, and only one storage memory 4b is used. In order to correct these unreasonable situations, it is necessary to investigate the usage status of each user and change the storage memory assigned to each user based on the result of the investigation.

[0004]

However, in the storage capacity control method of the conventional voice storage device, even if the usage status of the storage memory assigned to each user is checked, only the usage status at the time of the check is found. However, there is a problem that it is not possible to grasp the total number of usages that change every moment.

The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and measures the use state of the storage memory allocated to each user for a certain period (for example, one week), and adjusts the use state according to the actual use state. It is another object of the present invention to provide a storage capacity control method of a voice storage device to which a storage memory of each user is newly allocated.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a storage capacity control method for a voice storage device according to the present invention is described in US Pat.
In the storage capacity control method of the voice storage device for controlling the allocation of the storage memory holding the message addressed to each user in the voice storage device connected to the BX and the key telephone device, in the storage memory of each user within a certain period, The maximum value of the number of retained messages is stored in the maximum value storage area, and the allocated number of storage memories of each user is compared with the maximum value, and a new allocated number is set from the allocated number and the maximum value. The feature is that the storage memory is effectively allocated to each user without hindering the use of the storage memory by each user.

[0007]

The present invention investigates the actual usage status of the allocated number of storage memories holding messages addressed to each user in the voice storage device. In the investigation, the maximum value of the storage memory holding the message addressed to each user within a certain period is stored in the maximum value storage area. The maximum value of the message addressed to each user stored in the maximum value storage area is compared with the assigned number. A new assigned number is set based on the maximum value and the assigned number. In this way, by using the maximum value in the usage status within a certain period, it is possible to grasp the usage status according to the actual situation, so the new allocation number is set so that this maximum value and the allocation number are kept optimal can do. Therefore, the storage memory can be effectively allocated to each user without hindering use, so that a message cannot be transmitted to a frequently used user, and a large amount of storage memory is allocated to a less frequently used user. I will not put it.

[0008]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of a storage capacity control method of an audio storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3A is a diagram illustrating the maximum value of the number of messages held for each user within a certain fixed period. In the figure, reference numeral 1a denotes a storage memory, which can hold up to 100 messages addressed to user # 1. Reference numeral 2a denotes a maximum value storage area for storing the maximum value of the number of messages held in the storage memory 1a holding the messages addressed to the user # 1. 1b is a storage memory, which can hold up to 100 messages addressed to user # 2. Reference numeral 2a denotes a maximum value storage area for storing the maximum value of the number of messages held in the storage memory 1b.

The numerical value of the maximum value storage area 2a is 100, which indicates that there is a time when all 100 allocated numbers of the storage memory 1a have been used, and it is possible that a new message could not be held. Is big. On the contrary,
The numerical value of the maximum value storage area 2b is 1, which indicates that only one memory is used for 100 allocated memory 1b.

FIG. 2B is a diagram for explaining a storage memory newly allocated based on the maximum value of the number of messages addressed to each user. In the example, the storage memory 3a is 30% more than the storage memory 1a, and the storage memory 3b
Is 30% less than the storage memory 1b. As described above, since the number of storage memories of each user is corrected based on the maximum number of storage memories of each user during a certain period, the use allocation according to the actual situation can be rationally and easily performed.

[0011]

As described above, in the storage capacity control method of the voice storage device according to the present invention, the maximum value of the number of messages held in the storage memory of each user within a certain period is stored in the maximum value storage area. And comparing the allocated number of storage memories of each user with the maximum value, setting a new allocated number from the allocated number and the maximum value, and hindering the use of the storage memory of each user. And the storage memory is effectively allocated to each user, so that the usage status can be reasonably and easily grasped according to the actual situation.
There is an effect that the storage memory can be used effectively by preventing a message addressed to a frequently used user from becoming untransmittable and reducing the assignment to a less frequently used user.
