2. Description of the Related Art Telephone numbers controlled by exchanges are
Generally, it is composed of only 10 digits. Therefore, the telephone number registered in the database of the exchange or the like is composed of only 10-digit numbers. By the way, since the delimiter position of the area code and the area code differs depending on the area, for example, even if a telephone number with only 10 digits is displayed on the screen used by the operator of the exchange, It is difficult to distinguish between the area code and the local area code. Therefore, when displaying a telephone number on the screen used by the operator of the exchange, a ten-digit telephone number is generally added with a hyphen "-" to indicate "area code-local code-contractor number". Is displayed. For example, it is "03-1234-5678". Based on the above, when displaying the telephone numbers registered in the database of exchanges etc. on the screens used by the operators of exchanges, etc., determine the position where the area code and the area code are separated. , It is necessary to display the phone number after inserting a hyphen at the determined position. In the past, for example, the position of the delimiter between the area code and the local code was determined using the code number table 60 shown in FIG. Specifically, first, the station number information table 60 is searched using the 6-digit number 61 obtained by removing the contractor number (lower 4 digits) from the 10-digit telephone number as a key. Next, the position of the break is determined by acquiring the area code 62 and the city code 63 detected by this search. Then, a hyphen is inserted at this delimiter position to display the telephone number on the screen of the terminal device.

[0003]

[2] Operation of Embodiment Next, in this embodiment, the operation of registering a telephone number in the subscriber data file 14 and the telephone number read from the subscriber data file 14 are edited. The operation at that time will be described. [2.1] Operation when registering telephone number As a case of registering a telephone number in the subscriber data file 14, for example, there is a case where a new telephone is installed and a contract for using the telephone line is made. In this case, it is necessary to register the subscriber data regarding the subscriber who has made the contract for use in the subscriber data file 14. And
As a method of registering the subscriber data in the subscriber data file 14, for example, a method of collectively registering a plurality of subscriber data by night batch or the like, or a method of registering the subscriber data from the operator terminal 20 or the like via a network There is a way to register individually. In this operation example, an example of a telephone number registration operation performed when individually registering subscriber data from the operator terminal 20 will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the addition unit 11 of the host terminal 10 is a predetermined integer which is a predetermined integer for the number immediately after the delimiter among the telephone numbers with the delimiter received from the operator terminal 20. n ″ (n is an integer of 10 or more) is added (step S1). To explain this concretely, for example, when the telephone number received from the operator terminal 20 is “03-1234-5678”, the adding unit 11 determines that the number “1” immediately after the hyphen that is the delimiter and A predetermined “10” is added to “5” (when n = 10).

From the decimal system shown in FIG.
This will be described in detail with reference to the diagram of conversion to the base (when n = 10). If a predetermined “10” is added to the number “1” immediately after the hyphen, 1 + 10 = 11 (decimal). Then, according to the conversion diagram shown in FIG. 5, this “11” becomes 11 = B (decimal system). Further, when a predetermined “10” is added to the number “5” immediately after the hyphen, it becomes 5 + 10 = 15 (decimal system). Then, according to the conversion diagram shown in FIG. 5, this “15” becomes 15 = F (decimal system). Therefore, the above telephone number is "03-B23".
It becomes 4-F678 ″.

Next, the symbol removing unit 12 of the host terminal 10
Removes the delimiter from the telephone number processed by the adder 11 (step S2). More specifically, for example, when the telephone number processed by the adding unit 11 is displayed as "03-B234-F678", the symbol removing unit 12 removes the hyphen that is the delimiter. . With this, the above telephone number is
It becomes "03B234F678". Next, the host terminal 1
The telephone number registration unit 13 of 0 registers the telephone number from which the delimiter is removed by the symbol removal unit 12 in the subscriber data file 14 (step S3).

[2.2] Operation when editing a telephone number When editing a telephone number, for example, subscriber data including the telephone number may be displayed on the display unit of the operator terminal 20. In this case, it is necessary to edit the telephone number, which is included in the subscriber data read from the subscriber data file 14 and does not have a delimiter, and then displays it on the display unit. In this operation example, an example of a telephone number editing operation performed when displaying subscriber data on the display unit of the operator terminal 20 will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the operator terminal 20 reads the subscriber data to be displayed from the subscriber data file 14 stored in the host terminal 10. Then, the telephone number reading unit 21 of the operator terminal 20 reads the telephone number to be edited from the subscriber data (step S11). Next, the detection unit 2 of the operator terminal 20
The number 2 detects a number larger than "9" among the numbers constituting the telephone number read by the telephone number reading unit 21 (step S12). More specifically, for example, when the telephone number read by the telephone number reading unit 21 is “03B234F678”, the detecting unit 22 selects “from among the numbers forming the telephone number”. "B" and "F", which are numbers greater than 9 ", are detected.

Next, the subtraction unit 23 of the operator terminal 20
Is a number detected by the detection unit 22 from “n” (n
Subtracts 10 or more) (step S13). Here, “n” is the same integer as “n” added by the addition unit 11 of the host terminal 10. More specifically, for example, when the detection unit 22 detects "B" and "F" from a certain telephone number "03B234F678", the subtraction unit 23 determines that "B" and "F" Subtract a predetermined “10” (n =
10). As a result, the above telephone number is "0
312345678 ".

Next, the symbol insertion section 2 of the operator terminal 20
4 inserts a delimiter at the position immediately before the number detected by the detection unit 22 (step S14). More specifically, for example, when the detecting unit 22 detects "B" and "F" from a certain telephone number "03B234F678", the symbol inserting unit 24
A hyphen, which is a delimiter, is inserted immediately before the "B" and "F". Here, the telephone number into which the symbol inserting unit 24 inserts the delimiter is already "0" by the subtracting unit 23.
Since it has been edited to "312345678", the telephone number after being edited by the symbol insertion unit 24 is "03-1.
234-5678 ″. Then, the telephone number in which the delimiter is inserted by the symbol insertion unit 24 is displayed on the display device (not shown) of the operator terminal 20.

[3] Effect of Embodiment As described above, when registering a telephone number with a delimiter in the subscriber data file 14, the adding unit 1
1 is edited so that the delimiter between the area code and the local code can be discriminated. Therefore, even when the telephone number read from the subscriber data file 14 without the delimiter is edited, the detecting unit 22 By this, it becomes possible to easily detect the position where the area code and the area code are separated.
This eliminates the need to refer to the station number information table for determining the station number, so that the processing efficiency of the editing process performed when displaying the telephone number can be improved. Further, since the exchange information system 1 does not need to have the station number information file, the control for referring to the station number information file and determining the position of the delimiter can be omitted, and a simpler control configuration can be realized. it can.
Further, since the telephone number without the delimiter can be registered in the subscriber data file 14, it is possible to effectively use the subscriber data file as compared with the case where the telephone number is registered without removing the delimiter.

[4] Modified Example of Embodiment [4.1] First Modified Example In the above-described embodiment, the addition unit 11 of the host terminal 10 has a number () immediately after the telephone number delimiter. Although n (n is an integer of 10 or more), which is a predetermined integer, is added to the number at the beginning of the local area code and the number at the beginning of the contractor number) You may add n, which is a predetermined integer, to the number at the immediately preceding position (the number at the end of the area code and the number at the end of the local area code). However, in this case, the symbol insertion unit 24 of the operator terminal 20
Needs to insert a delimiter at the position immediately after the number detected by the detection unit 22.

[4.2] Second Modification Also, in the above-described embodiment, the host terminal 10 is provided with the telephone number reading unit 21, the detecting unit 22, and the subtracting unit 23, and based on the request signal transmitted from the exchange. Then, the telephone number read by the telephone number reading unit 21 is converted into a telephone number having only 10-digit numbers by the detecting unit 22 and the subtracting unit 23, and the 10-digit telephone number is transmitted to the exchange. Good. Then, in the exchange, the exchange may be controlled based on the telephone number received from the host terminal 10. Further, in this case, the host terminal 10 may have the function of the exchange.

[4.3] Third Modification Also, in the above-described embodiment, the subscriber data file 14 is provided only in the host terminal 10, but it may be provided in the operator terminal 20. In this case, the telephone number updated in the host terminal 10 is
Subscriber data file 14 of operator terminal 20 by nightly batch, regular update, or any other suitable method.
Should be reflected in.

[4.4] Fourth Modification Also, in the above-described embodiment, the host terminal 10 and the operator terminal 20 perform the registration processing or the editing processing separately, but it is not always necessary to distinguish them. The registration process and the editing process may be performed in one terminal device having the functions of the host terminal 10 and the operator terminal 20.

[4.5] Fifth Modification In the above-described embodiment, the hyphen "-" is used as a delimiter, but the delimiter is not limited to this, and for example, "(", "). It may be a delimiter such as ".
