The line construction database 13 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 2, for example, the telephone numbers of the first to third mobile phones 1 to 3 are recorded in the relay execution database 11 of the relay device 9 as telephone numbers for executing the relay, and the first to third mobile phones 1 are recorded. A case where a person who possesses any one of 3 to 3 makes a phone call will be described. First, a person who has one of the first to third mobile phones 1 to 3 inputs the telephone number of the fourth mobile phone 4 to any one of the first to third mobile phones 1 to 3. When an operation is performed so that any one of the first to third mobile phones 1 to 3 is transmitted, the telephone number of the fourth mobile phone 4 is transmitted, and the first to third mobile phones 1 to 3 that are callers are also transmitted. Call any one of the three phone numbers. When the fourth mobile phone 4 is connected to any one of the first to third mobile phones 1 to 3 that are the transmission sources through the first communication line 7, the fourth mobile phone 4 is connected to the first communication line 7. The caller telephone number of the first to third mobile phones 1 to 3 is transferred to the relay control unit 10 while maintaining the connection. Then, the relay control unit 10 searches whether or not the caller telephone number of the first to third mobile phones 1 to 3 is recorded in the relay execution database 11.

  In this case, since the telephone number of the sender of the first to third mobile phones 1 to 3 is recorded in the relay execution database 11, the relay control unit 10 performs a reply operation to the fourth mobile phone 4. Control to do. With this control, the fourth mobile phone 4 is the source of the first to third mobile phones 1 to 3 connected to the first communication line 7 so that the telephone number of the other party to communicate with is transmitted. Reply to When the person who possesses any one of the first to third mobile phones 1 to 3 that has received the reply transmits the telephone number of the sixth mobile phone 6 that is the other party to whom the call is to be made, The telephone number of the sixth mobile phone 6 is transmitted to the fourth mobile phone 4 via the first communication line 7. Then, when the telephone number of the sixth mobile phone 6 received by the fourth mobile phone 4 as the other party is transferred to the relay control unit 10, the relay control unit 10 controls the fifth mobile phone 5 to perform an outgoing operation. . By this control, the fifth mobile phone 5 transmits its own phone number and the phone number of the sixth mobile phone 6 which is the counterpart to the second communication line 14.

  Therefore, the telephone number of the caller of the first to third mobile phones 1 to 3 trying to make a call to the sixth mobile phone 6 is not transmitted to the sixth mobile phone 6, and the fifth mobile phone 5 is transmitted to the sixth mobile phone 6 as the caller's phone number, so that the caller's phone number is not notified to the other party, so that the security of the caller can be protected and relayed. Unauthorized use other than the telephone number recorded in the execution database 11 can be prevented.

The device 9 is connected to be communicable via the first communication line and the second communication line. As described above, when a signal indicating that the person holding the sixth mobile phone 6 has off-hooked the sixth mobile phone 6 is input from the second communication line 14 to the relay control unit 10 via the fifth mobile phone 5, the relay is performed. The control unit 10 records the relay history information from the first to third mobile phones 1 to 3 to the sixth mobile phone 6 in the relay history database 12. Thereafter, the call between any one of the first to third mobile phones 1 to 3 that is the call source and the sixth mobile phone 6 is terminated, and an on-hook signal from one of the mobile phones is input to the relay control unit 10. Then, the relay control unit 10 controls the fourth mobile phone 4 and the fifth mobile phone 5 to be on-hook. Thus, the call from any one of the first to third mobile phones 1 to 3 to the sixth mobile phone 6 is terminated.

If the telephone numbers of the first to third mobile phones 1 to 3 that are the transmission sources transferred from the fourth mobile phone 4 to the relay control unit 10 are not recorded in the relay execution database 11, the relay control is performed. The unit 10 controls the fourth mobile phone 4 to reply that it does nothing or cannot relay. When the relay control unit 10 does nothing, a ringing sound for notifying that one of the first to third mobile phones 1 to 3 as a call source is calling or a call for notifying that a call is in progress Sound is notified. That is, the telephone number of the telephone that uses the first communication line 7 other than the first to third mobile telephones 1 to 3 and whose telephone number is not recorded in the relay execution database 11 is transferred from the fourth mobile telephone 4 to the relay control unit 10. If it has been transferred, since the telephone number transferred to the relay control unit 10 is not recorded in the relay execution database 11, the relay control unit 10 replies that it cannot relay. When the reply is made, the first to third mobile phones whose source is voice indicating that they cannot be relayed to any one of the first to third mobile phones 1 to 3 that are the source Any of the first to third mobile phones 1 to 3 whose source is a character or symbol indicating that it is emitted from a speaker (not shown) provided in any one of 1 to 3 or cannot be relayed It is displayed on a non-illustrated display provided in one.

  Referring to FIG. 7, in the state where the history of ending the call from any one of the first to third mobile phones 1 to 3 of the first embodiment to the sixth mobile phone 6 exists in the relay history database 12, 6 Relay processing when a call is made from the mobile phone 6 to the first mobile phone 1 will be described. In step 201, the sixth mobile phone 6 transmits the telephone number of the fifth mobile phone 5, the fifth mobile phone 5 and the sixth mobile phone 6 are connected using the second communication line 14, and the fifth mobile phone 5 is connected. The telephone 5 transfers the telephone number of the sixth mobile phone 6 to the relay control unit 10 while maintaining the connection of the second communication line 14, and proceeds to Step 202.

  In step 202, it is determined whether or not the relay control unit 10 relays. That is, in step 202, the second transmission / reception control means 20 searches whether or not the telephone number of the sixth mobile phone 6 is recorded in the relay history database 12. If the telephone number of the sixth mobile phone 6 is not recorded in the relay history database 12 as a result of the search, step 202 is NO and the relay process is terminated. As a result of the search, if the telephone number of the sixth mobile phone 6 is recorded in the relay history database 12, step 202 becomes YES and the process proceeds to step 203.

  Specifically, when the telephone number “080877200001” of the sixth mobile phone 6 is recorded in the plurality of relay history databases 12 as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the second transmission / reception control means 20, for example, The most recent reception date / time is selected, and the telephone number in the sender column of the relay history database 12 in which the latest reception date / time is recorded is specified as the telephone number of the other party to be called. For example, from the relay history database 12 shown in FIG. 5, the telephone number “080877200001” of the sixth mobile phone 6 communicated with the first mobile phone 1 at the reception date “September 1, 2010, 11:40”. From the relay history database 12 shown in FIG. 6, the telephone number “080877200001” of the sixth mobile phone 6 communicated with the second mobile phone 2 at the reception date “September 1, 2010, 11:35”. I understand that. Therefore, the second transmission / reception control means 20 selects “11:40 on September 1, 2010” recorded in the relay history database 12 shown in FIG. 5 as the latest reception date and time, and receives the latest reception. The telephone number “09001234567” of the first mobile phone 1 in the sender column of the relay history database 12 shown in FIG. 5 in which the date and time is recorded is specified as the telephone number of the other party to which the second transmission / reception control means 20 is to make a call. Then, the second transmission / reception control means 20 transfers the telephone number of the other party to whom the specified call is to be made to the first transmission / reception control means 19, and the process proceeds to step 203.

  In step 203, the first transmission / reception control means 19 controls the fourth mobile phone 4 to make a call, and the fourth mobile phone 4 determines the telephone number of the first mobile phone 1 specified in step 202 above. The first mobile phone 1 and the fourth mobile phone 4 are connected via the first communication line 7 and the process proceeds to step 204.

  In step 204, when the first mobile phone 1 is off-hooked and the off-hook signal is input from the fourth mobile phone 4 to the relay control unit 10, the first transmission / reception control means 19 controls the fourth mobile phone 4, 4 Inquire about whether or not to connect by notifying the telephone number of the sixth mobile phone 6 recorded in the relay history database 12 as the telephone number that the mobile phone 4 has requested to connect from the second communication line 14 by voice or display. The data is transmitted to the first mobile phone 1, and the first mobile phone 1 instructs the first transmission / reception control means 19 to respond “connect”, “disconnect”, or “record”. For example, in the case of “connected”, the person holding the first mobile phone 1 presses the “#” button of the first mobile phone 1, and in the case of “disconnect”, the person holding the first mobile phone 1 The “*” button of one mobile phone 1 is pressed, and in the case of “recording”, the person holding the first mobile phone 1 presses the number “5” button of the first mobile phone 1 and proceeds to step 205.

  In step 205, it is determined whether or not the relay control unit 10 is connected. That is, in step 205, the instruction from the first mobile phone 1 is transferred from the fourth mobile phone 4 to the first transmission / reception control means 19. Then, the first transmission / reception control means 19 determines whether or not to connect according to an instruction from the first mobile phone 1. Here, when the instruction is “connection”, it is determined that the first transmission / reception control means 19 is connected, step 205 becomes YES, and the process proceeds to step 206. If the instruction is “disconnect” or “recording”, it is determined that the first transmission / reception control means 19 is not connected, step 205 is NO, and the process proceeds to step 209.

  In step 206, the first transmission / reception control means 19 transfers “connection”, which is the determination in step 205, to the second transmission / reception control means 20, and the first transmission / reception control means 19 and the second transmission / reception control means 20 are in the fourth mobile phone. The connection between the telephone 4 and the fifth mobile phone 5 is maintained, and the first mobile phone 1 and the sixth mobile phone 6 can talk over the relay device 9, the first communication line 7, and the second communication line 14. , Go to Step 207. In step 207, it is determined whether or not the relay control unit 10 is disconnected. That is, in step 207, the first transmission / reception control means 19 determines that no on-hook signal is input from the first mobile phone 1, and the second transmission / reception control means 20 does not receive an on-hook signal from the sixth mobile phone 6. If it is determined that the call can be made between the first mobile phone 1 and the sixth mobile phone 6, step 207 is NO and the process returns to step 206. Conversely, in step 207, the first transmission / reception control means 19 determines that an on-hook signal is input from the first mobile phone 1, or the second transmission / reception control means 20 determines that an on-hook signal is input from the sixth mobile phone 6. In this case, since the state where the first mobile phone 1 and the sixth mobile phone 6 can talk is completed, step 207 is YES and the process proceeds to step 208.

  On the other hand, in step 209, it is determined whether or not the relay control unit 10 disconnects. That is, the first transmission / reception control means 19 determines whether or not to disconnect according to the instruction from the first mobile phone 1 in step 204 transferred from the fourth mobile phone 4. Here, when the instruction is “disconnect”, it is determined that the first transmission / reception control means 19 disconnects, step 209 becomes YES, and the process proceeds to step 208. When the instruction is “recording”, it is determined in step 209 that the first transmission / reception control means 19 does not disconnect by the instruction from the first mobile phone 1 in step 204 transferred from the fourth mobile phone 4, Step 209 becomes NO and the process proceeds to Step 210. In step 210, the second transmission / reception control means 20 records the voice transmitted from the sixth mobile phone 6 in the nonvolatile memory and proceeds to step 208. In step 208, the first transmission / reception control means 19 transfers “disconnect”, which is the determination in step 209, or “disconnection”, which is the determination in step 209, to the second transmission / reception control means 20. The fourth mobile phone 4 is controlled to be on-hook, and the second transmission / reception control means 20 is controlled to hook the fifth mobile phone 5 on-hook. Thereby, the call between the first mobile phone 1 and the sixth mobile phone 6 is terminated.

  The line construction setting means 21 will be described with reference to FIG. The line construction setting means 21 determines which mobile phone in the first communication line group 8 the line is connected to when the first communication line group 8 is called from the sixth mobile telephone 6. Is constructed in advance in the relay device 9 by the operation of the person who performs the operation. For example, a person who constructs a line operates the operation unit 23 of the relay device 9 to perform “forwarding from the first mobile phone 1 to the second mobile phone 2 and the third mobile phone 3 in order”, By determining the order to be applied "designated order method" and "past from recent history" past order method by recording in the circuit construction database 13 stored in the rewritable part of the ROM 17 of the relay device 9 (see FIG. 2). It is constructed in advance, and is set in the line construction database 13 so that any one of the constructed forward feed method, designated order method, and past order method is executed.
