  When an incoming call is received, the telephone terminal 50 follows, for example, a sound of a melody, vibration, blinking of an LED (Light Emitting Diode), LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), etc. The user is notified of the incoming call by display or the like.

  One or more access points 40 are provided in a predetermined area 14 such as a conference room, a concert hall, an office floor, etc., and are connected to the LAN 13. The access point 40 performs wireless communication with each telephone terminal 50 based on the wireless LAN standard, for example, and communicates with the call control device 20 and the incoming call notification method management device 30 via the LAN 13, for example, Ethernet (registered trademark). Wired communication is performed based on a communication standard such as

  The call control device 20 is connected to an external network 12 such as an IP (Internet Protocol) network and a LAN 13 and controls a plurality of telephone terminals 50 via the LAN 13. When the call control device 20 detects an incoming call to any of the telephone terminals 50, the call control device 20 notifies the incoming call notification method management device 30 of the incoming call together with the identification information of the destination telephone terminal 50, or Forward the incoming call.

  The incoming call notification method management device 30 manages the incoming call notification method of each telephone terminal 50. The incoming call notification method management device 30 notifies the incoming call based on the current location and the incoming call date and time of the destination telephone terminal 50 when the incoming call is transferred from the call control device 20 together with the identification information of the destination telephone terminal 50. The method is determined, and the determined incoming notification method is notified to the destination telephone terminal 50 together with the incoming call.

  The incoming call notification method management device 30 may notify the call control device 20 of the determined incoming call notification method, and the call control device 20 may notify the telephone terminal 50 of the incoming call notification method. In this case, the call control device 20 notifies the incoming call by inserting the incoming call notification method received from the incoming call notification method management device 30 into a command related to the incoming call notification and transmitting the command to the destination telephone terminal 50.

The telephone terminal 50 may have a function of transmitting / receiving data other than voice data.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of a detailed functional configuration of the incoming call notification method management apparatus 30. As shown in FIG. The incoming call notification method management device 30 includes a user setting notification method storage unit 31, an incoming call notification method storage unit 32, a location information storage unit 33, an incoming call notification method registration unit 34, a proxy response processing unit 35, an incoming call notification method extraction unit 36, and an incoming call notification method. An information transmission unit 37, a position information registration unit 38, and a wired communication unit 39 are provided.

  The wired communication unit 39 communicates with the call control device 20, the access point 40, and the like via the LAN 13 based on a communication standard such as Ethernet. The incoming call notification method registration unit 34, the proxy response processing unit 35, the incoming call notification method extraction unit 36, the incoming call information transmission unit 37, and the location information registration unit 38 transmit and receive communication data via the wired communication unit 39.

  In the user setting notification method storage unit 31, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, for each telephone terminal ID 310 for identifying each telephone terminal 50, a default incoming call notification method 311 set by the user of the corresponding telephone terminal 50 is stored. Stored. In the present embodiment, the incoming call notification method specifies, for example, the type and volume of the ringtone, the LCD display mode at the time of incoming call, the lighting color and flashing timing of the LED at the time of incoming call, the operation timing of the vibrator at the time of incoming call, etc. Information.

  When receiving the setting data indicating the incoming call notification method from the telephone terminal 50, the incoming call notification method registration unit 34 associates the setting data with the identification information of the telephone terminal 50 that has transmitted the setting data, and notifies the user setting. Register in the method storage unit 31.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4, in the position information storage unit 33, for each telephone terminal ID 330, an access point ID 331 that is identification information of the access point 40 to which the telephone terminal 50 corresponding to the telephone terminal ID 330 belongs is located. Stored as information. By referring to the location information storage unit 33, it can be seen that each telephone terminal 50 is located in the vicinity of the place where the access point 40 to which it belongs is installed.

  When the location information registration unit 38 receives the telephone terminal ID of the telephone terminal 50 from the access point 40 together with the start of attribution, the location information registration unit 38 uses the telephone terminal ID as the access point of the access point 40 that has transmitted the telephone terminal ID. The information is registered in the position information storage unit 33 in association with the ID. In addition, when the telephone terminal ID of the telephone terminal 50 is received together with the notification of belonging cancellation, the location information registration unit 38 stores the telephone terminal ID and the access point ID associated with the telephone terminal ID in the location information storage unit 33. Delete from.

  In the incoming notification method storage unit 32, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of incoming notification method management tables 320 are stored for each piece of location information 321 indicating a location. Each incoming call notification method management table 320 includes location information 321, access point ID 322 of the access point 40 installed at the location indicated by the location information 321, time zone information 323, and incoming call notification method 324 for each telephone terminal 50. Stored.

  In the present embodiment, the incoming call notification method 324 includes, for example, default and manner modes 1 to 3. The default indicates the incoming call notification method set in the user setting notification method storage unit 31 in the corresponding telephone terminal 50. The manner modes 1 to 3 are incoming notification methods as shown in FIG. 6, for example. Note that the incoming call notification method shown in FIG. 6 is merely an example, and the contents of the incoming call mode, the duration of the incoming call mode, the switching order of the incoming call mode, and the like are innumerable in addition to the method shown in FIG.

  In manner mode 1, the incoming call is notified by LCD for 10 seconds from the start of incoming call, the incoming call is notified by blinking LED for 10 seconds from the start of incoming call, and the vibration is vibrated for 10 seconds from 20 seconds after the incoming call starts. This is an incoming call notification method for notifying an incoming call and disconnecting the incoming call if it does not respond to the incoming call even after 30 seconds from the start of the incoming call. If the incoming call is not responded even after 30 seconds from the start of the incoming call, the call may be switched to a proxy response by voice message without being disconnected.

  In manner mode 2, the incoming call is not notified for 30 seconds from the start of the incoming call, the incoming call is notified by a low sound for 30 seconds after the incoming call starts, and for 10 seconds after the incoming call starts for 40 seconds. This is an incoming call notification method in which an incoming call is notified by a sound of medium volume, and if the incoming call is not responded even after 50 seconds from the start of the incoming call, the incoming call is disconnected. If the incoming call is not responded even after 50 seconds from the start of the incoming call, it may be switched to the proxy response without being disconnected.

  Here, in the case of an incoming call for which an urgent requirement is to be communicated, the call operation is usually continued for a relatively long time. Therefore, in manner mode 2, the telephone system 10 does not notify an incoming call for a predetermined period from the start of the incoming call, so that the telephone system 10 receives an incoming call that is likely to be an urgent request to continue calling for a predetermined period or longer. You can select and receive calls.

  In this case, since there is a high possibility that an incoming call that keeps calling for a predetermined period or more is an incoming call that wants to convey an urgent requirement, after a predetermined period of time elapses from the incoming call, for example, notification at a loud volume from the beginning, etc. You may make it notify an incoming call by the notification method with high capability.

  Manner mode 3 performs a proxy response by voice message without receiving a call, records the requirement if the caller intends to leave the requirement, and if there is a requirement recording, indicates that the requirement is recorded. This is an incoming call notification method for notifying the telephone terminal 50 and notifying that there is an incoming call (reception date / time, caller ID, etc.) if there is no required recording.

  When the incoming call notification method extraction unit 36 receives an incoming call from the call control device 20 to any one of the telephone terminals 50 together with the telephone terminal ID of the destination telephone terminal 50, the incoming call notification method extraction unit 36 is based on the telephone terminal ID of the destination telephone terminal 50. The location information storage unit 33 is referred to, and the access point ID of the access point 40 to which the destination telephone terminal 50 belongs is extracted. Then, the incoming call notification method extraction unit 36 refers to the incoming call notification method storage unit 32 based on the extracted access point ID, and specifies the incoming call notification method management table 320 including the extracted access point ID.

  Next, the incoming call notification method extraction unit 36 extracts an incoming call notification method to be applied to the destination telephone terminal 50 based on the telephone terminal ID of the destination telephone terminal 50 and the incoming call date and time. When the extracted incoming call notification method is a proxy response (for example, manner mode 3), the incoming call notification method extraction unit 36 instructs the proxy response processing unit 35 to perform a proxy response.

  On the other hand, when the extracted incoming call notification method is not a proxy response, the incoming call notification method extraction unit 36 sends the extracted incoming call notification method to the incoming call information transmission unit 37. The incoming call information transmitting unit 37 transmits the incoming call notification method received from the incoming call notification method extracting unit 36 to the destination telephone terminal 50 together with information indicating the incoming call.

  The incoming call notification method extraction unit 36 stores the current incoming call notification method of each telephone terminal 50, and the incoming call notification method has been changed with reference to the incoming call notification method storage unit 32 and the location information storage unit 33. In such a case, the telephone terminal 50 may be notified to that effect via the incoming call information transmission unit 37, and the telephone terminal 50 may notify the user of the notified incoming call notification method by display or sound.

  When instructed by the incoming call notification method extraction unit 36, the proxy response processing unit 35 performs a proxy response by notifying the sender of a preset voice message, and records the requirements if the caller desires. . Then, the proxy response processing unit 35 notifies the destination telephone terminal 50 that there is a requirement recording if there is a requirement recording, and if there is no requirement recording, the proxy response processing unit 35 notifies that there is an incoming call. Notify

  FIG. 7 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a detailed functional configuration of the access point 40. The access point 40 includes a wired communication unit 41, a wireless communication unit 42, and an attribution processing unit 43.
