Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a priority communication system and a priority communication method, and more particularly to a priority communication system and a priority communication method in which priority is set for each call.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Performing packet priority processing in packet switching is effective in terms of QoS. Packet priority processing is performed depending on the terminal. For this reason, a terminal having a high priority may not be related to a priority of a user who uses the terminal, and the priority of a user having a high priority is sacrificed. Essentially, the priority should depend on the user using the terminal.
[0003]
There is a need to reliably avoid improper use of a terminal with high priority and to ensure the priority of a user with high priority.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide a priority communication system and a priority communication method that can reliably prevent inappropriate use of a terminal with high priority and reliably guarantee the priority of a user with high priority. There is.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Means for solving the problem is expressed as follows. Technical matters appearing in the expression are appended with numbers, symbols, etc. in parentheses. The numbers, symbols, and the like are technical matters constituting at least one embodiment or a plurality of embodiments of the present invention, or a plurality of embodiments, in particular, the embodiments or examples. This corresponds to the reference numbers, reference symbols, etc. attached to the technical matters expressed in the drawings corresponding to. Such reference numbers and reference symbols clarify the correspondence and bridging between the technical matters described in the claims and the technical matters of the embodiments or examples. Such correspondence or bridging does not mean that the technical matters described in the claims are interpreted as being limited to the technical matters of the embodiments or examples.
[0006]
The priority communication system according to the present invention establishes a communication connection between two users (6, 7) based on the priority corresponding to the voice of the calling user (6) out of the two users (6, 7) talking. Do. The communication connection based on the user-dependent priority enables the user (6) to use an arbitrary terminal and effectively avoids the other person's activation and improper use.
[0007]
For such a communication connection, the exchange (1) that performs the communication connection and the user (6) corresponding to the voice packet by connecting to the exchange (1) and receiving the voice packet from the exchange (1) are identified. And a database (5) for defining the priority corresponding to the user (6). Since the voice recognition device (4) and the database (5) are jointly used by all the subscribers, and the exchange (1) is notified of the priority from the database (5), the voice recognition function and the priority regulation database are connected to the terminal. It is not necessary to have each, and the priority service can be improved. It is reasonable to keep the priority constant until the communication between the two users is completed, and there is no need for the exchange side operation regarding voice identification and priority during a call. It is important that the priority is defined in relation to the called terminal of the two users (6, 7).
[0008]
The priority communication method according to the present invention defines the priority corresponding to the voice of the calling user among the two users who are talking, and establishes a communication connection between the two users (6, 7) based on the priority. Consists of doing.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Corresponding to the figure, in the embodiment of the priority communication system according to the present invention, a packet switch is provided together with a plurality of terminals. As shown in FIG. 1, the packet switch 1 is connected to a plurality of voice communication terminals 3A to 3F through a network 2 such as a LAN. The voice communication terminals 3A to 3F are connected to each other via the packet switch 1 and the network 2. The packet switch 1 is connected to the voice recognition device 4 and the database 5. The voice communication terminals 3 </ b> A to 3 </ b> F can perform voice packet communication via the network 2.
[0010]
The voice recognition device 4 can analyze a voice packet received from the network 2 via the packet switch 1, specify a user who is the main voice, and can transmit the analysis result to the packet switch 1. The database 5 can determine the priority for each user, and can exchange data with the packet switch 1 regarding the priority. The packet switch 1 prioritizes voice packets based on priority information received from the database 5.
[0011]
FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the priority communication method according to the present invention. A voice packet is transmitted from the voice communication terminal 3A to the packet switch 1 in order for a user 6 to talk to another user 7 using the voice communication terminal 3A and the voice communication terminal 3D (step S1). The packet switch 1 that has received the voice packet makes a user identification request 8 to the voice recognition device 4.
[0012]
The voice recognition device 4 analyzes the voice packet, specifies the user 6 unique to the voice packet, and notifies the packet switch 1 of the user identification result 9 (step S2). The packet switch 1 that has received the user identification result 9 executes a user priority inquiry 11 for the priority of the user 6 in the database 5. The database 5 includes a user-priority correspondence table 12 shown in FIG. The user-priority correspondence table 12 is defined in relation to the caller terminal of the two users with respect to the priority.
[0013]
The database 5 obtains the priority of the user 6 based on the user-priority correspondence table 12, and notifies the packet switch 1 of the user priority 13 (step S3). The packet switch 1 notified of the user priority 13 transfers the voice packet received from the voice communication terminal 3A to the voice communication terminal 3D based on the user priority 13 (step S4). The packet switch 1 exchanges the packet communication with the priority of the user priority 13 until the voice packet communication between the voice communication terminal 3A and the voice communication terminal 3D is completed.
[0014]
Regardless of whether the priority is set high, the calling user who needs high priority can connect to the other party with high priority using any terminal.
[0015]
【The invention's effect】
Since the priority communication system and the priority communication method according to the present invention perform the priority processing depending on the user without depending on the terminal, the user can surely guarantee the priority without depending on the terminal. Inappropriate use of the terminal by others can be reliably avoided.
