2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a conference is performed using a conference telephone function of a private branch exchange, a conference caller calls a conference participant one by one from an extension telephone at the time of starting the conference and connects to a conference trunk of the exchange. Let me.

In this method, when a conference is performed using the conference function telephone function, the conference caller calls each conference participant one by one at the time of starting the conference. There is an operational problem that it is not possible to dial the extension of the conference participant before the conference start time and register it, and since the conference caller calls each conference participant one by one, each conference participant must be called. There is a problem that it has to be multiplied and it takes time and effort.

Therefore, in the block diagram of the conventional example as shown in FIG. 6, extension telephones can be simultaneously called.

[0005] Reference numeral 101 denotes an extension telephone of a meeting convener.
2, 103, 104, and 105 are extension telephones of conference participants, 106, 107, 108, 109, and 110 are line circuits of extension telephones 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105, 111 is a main switch, and 12 is a conference trunk. 1
13 is a central control unit, and 114 is a recording circuit. The main switch 111 is connected to the line circuits 106, 107, 108, 10
Extension telephones 101, 102, 10 via 9, 110
3, 104, 105 and also a conference trunk 11
2 are exchanged under the control of the central control unit 113.

The conference trunk 112 includes extension telephones 101-101.
A plurality of 105s are connected by imposing a main switch 111 to realize a conference by intercommunication. The central control unit 113 controls and processes the main functions of the switching unit, and mainly the main switch 11.
1 to control the mutual exchange of the lines and devices accommodated in the main switch 111. The storage circuit 114 stores a conference start time and extension numbers of all conference participants registered in advance when a conference is performed using the conference telephone function.

[0007] With this configuration, the meeting convener can call the extension telephone 10.
After dialing the conference registration special number predetermined from 1,
Dial the conference start time at the time of the conference, dial the first code # as a separator from the extension number of the conference participant, and continuously dial the extension numbers of all conference participants with the second code * in between. , Finally sign # to identify end
And then dial (#) to complete the setting.

The central control unit 113 sends the conference start time and the extension numbers of all conference participants received from the conference caller's extension telephone 101 to the storage circuit 114 for storage. Next, the central control unit 113 operates the system clock and the storage circuit 11.
4 is always compared with the conference start time stored in the extension telephone 101, and when they match, the extension telephone 101 of the conference convener who is the setter.
Call. The meeting convener answers with the extension phone 101,
When a predetermined operation such as pressing a predetermined button is performed, the central controller 113 reads out the preset extension numbers of all conference participants from the storage circuit 114, and the extension telephone corresponding to the read extension number. 102 to 105 are simultaneously called.

[0009] Therefore, conferences whose start times are known in advance can be set collectively, and the operation of calling a conference participant by the conference caller after the conference start time can be saved. There is an improvement effect.

[0010]

However, making a conference telephone call in this manner, since the call is made to a fixed extension telephone, if the call is not answered, or if the call is answered, the responder will be in the conference. It was difficult to identify whether or not a participant was a participant, and it was necessary to confirm the participant separately, which was devoted to certainty.

FIG. 2 is an external view of a mobile station. The mobile station includes an antenna 51 for transmitting and receiving communication with a base station or another mobile station, and information related to the communication (for example, a telephone number, a reception number). Notification, remaining battery level, out of service area, etc.)
A display unit 52 that is a display such as an LCD that displays
An input unit 53 in which keys for inputting a telephone number, inputting other numeric information, and setting various modes are arranged, a start key 54 for starting a call by the operation, and an end key 55 for cutting off the call by the operation. And a microphone 57 for amplifying incoming voice and inputting voice to be generated with a speaker 56 to be generated.

Normally, when a call is made, a telephone number or the like is input to the input section 53 and then the call start key 54 is operated. There is a method of inputting such as. When the call is interrupted, the end key 55 may be operated after the end of the call.

On the other hand, when using this conference reservation system, after turning a specific telephone number set in the base station,
This is performed by the input of the input unit 53.

Next, the reservation of the conference reservation system will be described with reference to FIG. In this figure, a left arrow A indicates a flow of control / signal from the mobile station to the base station, and a right arrow B indicates a flow of control / signal from the base station to the mobile station.

First, a subscriber uses a mobile station, inputs a predetermined telephone number of the reservation registration service into the input section 53, and calls the reservation registration service from the base station (A1). At that time,
The base station recognizes the ID of the subscriber by inputting the ID of the subscriber through the input unit 53 or by recognizing the mobile station currently used and determining the ID of the subscriber. , And the subscriber ID is stored in the subscriber ID storage unit 9. Here, if the corresponding ID cannot be recognized, the fact is notified to the reserving person and the resetting is encouraged, so that the accuracy is further improved.

After the ID of the subscriber has been recognized and stored, the base station informs (guides) the subscriber of the start and end times of the conference or the conference time (B2). For example, a message such as "Please input a calling date and time" is read from the message storage unit 14 and a notification is issued. In addition, using the recognized ID, "○
○, please enter the date and time of the call ". The subscriber hears the notification and operates the keys of the input unit 53 to register the time (time) (A
2).

Since this key operation is performed based on the keypad facility standard, setting can be made from any terminal. The keypad facility means that by operating keys provided on the terminal, a predetermined code can be obtained for each key, and as a result, a standardized code is wirelessly communicated. And any terminal or base station created under that standard. PHS
Conforms to the keypad facility described in the next-generation cordless standard RCR STD-28.

With this key operation, for example, 1 pm on January 23
When inputting 1:30, "1", "*", "2", "
3 "," * "," 1 "," 3 "," * "," 3 ","
0 ”and“ # ”, that is,“ 1 * 23 * 13 * ”
30 # "is continuously input, thereby transmitting a code corresponding to the keypad facility to the base station,
The reservation time transmitted from the base station is retained, and the stored reservation time is reported to the subscriber for confirmation (B3). If the notification is different from what the subscriber wants, the user inputs "1 * 23 * 13 * 30 #" again as desired and correct, and resets it. On the other hand, if the desired settings have been made, if recognition is possible based on the notified information, "#" is input (A3). After the input, the base station stores the reserved time in the reserved time storage unit 7.

Next, registration of conference attendees is performed. The base station notifies (guides) the reservation person to input the ID of the person attending the conference (B4). For example, "I
Please input a D) "from the message storage unit 14 to notify the user. The reservation is heard by the reservation person, and the key of the input unit 53 is operated.
Is registered (A4).

By this key operation, for example, the ID is 12345
When calling the person of 98765, "1", "
2 "," 3 "," 4 "," 5 "," * "," 9 ","
Press "8", "7", "6", "5", "#", that is, perform key input consecutively as "12345 * 98765 #", so that a code conforming to the keypad facility can be input. ID transmitted to the base station and transmitted from the base station
Is stored in the call ID storage unit 9. Then, based on the stored ID, the department, name, and the like are searched from the personal information database 12, and the department, name, and the like obtained as a result are sequentially notified to the reservation person for confirmation (B5). If the notification is different from what the subscriber wants, reset is performed as described above. On the other hand, if the desired setting has been made, and if the information can be recognized from the notified information, "#" is input (A
5).

Next, a call message is registered. The base station informs (guides) the subscriber to input what to do with a message to those attending the conference (B6). For example, "Please select a message to attendees. 1: Meeting start time, please gather in the meeting room. 2: Meeting time, please gather.
3 :. . . And the like are read from the message storage unit 14 and a notification is issued. The subscriber hears the notification, and operates the key of the input section 53 to register the number of the corresponding message, and registers the notification message (A6).

Thereafter, the base station registers the message,
The line is cut off by the base station itself shutting down the communication or by the reservation person cutting off the communication, and the reservation operation is terminated (A
B0). With the above processing, the reservation of the conference ends.

Next, the call of the conference attendee registered as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in step 1, a clock unit 6 that measures the current time
Is compared with the reserved time stored in the reserved time storage section 7 by the comparing section 8, and when they match, a signal to that effect is sent to the central control section 5.

In step 2, the central control unit 5 having obtained the coincidence signal stores the ID stored in the reservation call ID storage unit 10.
It is determined whether or not exists. If the ID exists, the central control unit 5 extracts one reservation call ID in step 3 and determines in step 4 whether the ID is the ID stored in the location registration ID storage unit 11. Perform a search. If there is no call ID in the location registration ID, it is registered (stored) as an absence ID in the absence ID storage unit 12 in step 7, and the process returns to step 2.

On the other hand, if the central control unit 5 determines that the call ID is the location registration ID, then in step 5 the base station 20
From 0, the mobile station having the call ID (for example, 50a in FIG. 5) is called. In step 6, the central control unit 5 determines whether or not the called mobile station 50a has responded. If there is no response, in step 7, the absence ID is stored in the absence ID storage unit 12.
Perform D to register and return to step 2. On the other hand, if there is a response, the subscriber notifies the responder of the selected message stored in the message storage unit 14 or the message input by the subscriber from the mobile station from the mobile station 50a.
After the end of the notification, in step 9, the line is cut off. This shut-off method is usually automatically shut off from the central control unit 5, but there is no problem even if the responder shuts off.

As described above, the ID registered for calling is
The same processing is performed for all of them, and when all the processing is completed, the process proceeds to step 10, and the central control unit 5 calls the reserving person from the reserving person ID stored in the reserving person ID storage unit 9.
In step 11, it is determined whether or not there is a response from the reservation person by this call.
Then, the data held in the personal information data holding unit 13 is obtained from the absentee ID and notified to the reservation person.

After a lapse of the predetermined time, in step 13, the central control unit 5 refers to the absence ID storage unit 12, recalls only the mobile station of the absence ID, and urges the non-attendee of the conference to attend. To

Also, the mobile station 50b in FIG. 5 can be similarly notified if it is a conference attendee.

However, for a mobile station 50c that is out of the service area of the base station 200, such as the mobile station 50c,
Since the location is not registered in the location registration ID storage unit 11 of the base station 200, it is not possible to be notified, and the ID is registered in the absence ID storage unit 12. Thereafter, when the mobile station 50c enters the service area, where the location registration is performed, the mobile station 50c can be notified.

[0039]

According to the present invention, a conference attendee having a portable mobile station can be notified of the conference time and the like, and the conference can be communicated even if the conference attendant is out of the seat. In the past, it was not possible to know whether the attendees responded to the conference communication like a desk phone, and it was not possible to confirm whether the automatic communication of the conference was transmitted to the conference attendees. Because there is no worry, you can confirm that the contact was made by reply.

Further, according to the present invention, since the base station recognizes the conference attendee who could not contact the conference, the conference caller can be notified that the conference attendant is absent.
