[Embodiment 1]
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

(Phone 1)
The configuration of the telephone 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the telephone 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the telephone 1 includes an operation unit 10, a line connection unit 20, a communication unit 30 (information acquisition unit), a control unit 40, an output unit 50, and a storage unit 60. Further, the telephone 1 further includes a child device that is separate from the main body (parent device) of the telephone 1. The number of slave units of the telephone 1 may be one or more. When there are a plurality of cordless handsets of the telephone 1, each cordless handset is given a different peculiar number, and the peculiar number of the cordless handset is displayed on the standby screen of each cordless handset. For example, “child device n” may be displayed on the standby screen of the nth child device.

  The operation unit 10 is a device that receives a user operation. The operation unit 10 may be, for example, a physical operation key (for example; a number button, a cross key, a call button, a call end button, a hold button, a transfer button) provided on the surface of the telephone 1.

  The line connection unit 20 connects the telephone line of the telephone 1 and another telephone line via a PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) (public switched telephone network). When the telephone 1 receives an incoming call, the line connection unit 20 receives information (CID) indicating the telephone number of the call originator from the PSTN.

  The communication unit 30 communicates with the server 100 that manages a database of nuisance phone numbers (that is, a phone number that is likely to be the originator of the nuisance call) and refers to the nuisance call information registered in the server 100. .. The nuisance call information is information about nuisance calls and includes a block list DB. The block list DB is composed of a list of unwanted telephone numbers. The communication unit 30 specifically communicates with the server 100 (see FIG. 5) on a LAN (Local Area Network). Note that the communication unit 30 may access the server 100 and refer to the block list DB each time an incoming call is received. Since the communication speed using the LAN is relatively high, the telephone 1 does not need to download the block list DB in advance before receiving an incoming call. Although not shown, the server 100 may be connected to a plurality of telephones 1 via a LAN.

  The control unit 40 integrally controls each unit of the telephone 1. When the telephone 1 receives an incoming call, the control unit 40 rejects a response to an incoming call from a nuisance telephone number registered in the server by the nuisance call filter service, and also rejects a call from a rejection telephone number registered in advance by the user. It also refuses to answer incoming calls. In addition, the control unit 40 executes a service effect presentation process (described later) for presenting the effect of the unwanted telephone number providing service. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the control unit 40 includes an event detection unit 41 (specific event detection unit), a DB search unit 42, a notification unit 43 (effect information presentation unit), a registration unit 44, and a call rejection operation execution unit 45. Contains. The processing executed by each unit of the control unit 40 will be described in the description of the service effect presentation processing described later.

  The output unit 50 is a device for notifying the user. The output unit 50 includes a display 51, a speaker 52, and an LED 53. The display 51 displays service effect information (“effect information” of the present invention; described later). The speaker 52 notifies the service effect information by voice. The LED 53 presents service effect information by color or blinking pattern.

  Various data are stored in the storage unit 60. The storage unit 60 includes a block list storage unit 61 and a history information storage unit 62. The block list storage unit 61 stores a local block list. The local block list includes the called party number (rejected telephone number) of the telephone that the user refuses to answer. The history information storage unit 62 stores history information. The incoming call history information includes information on the incoming call number and information on whether or not the user refuses to answer the incoming call. Note that the storage unit 60 may also store the nuisance phone number downloaded in advance from the server 100. In the configuration in which the unwanted telephone number is stored in the storage unit 60, the control unit 40 cannot refer to the unwanted telephone number registered in the server 100 (for example, the communication unit 30 and the server 100). Even in the case where communication is not possible), the response to the nuisance call can be rejected by referring to the nuisance phone number stored in the storage unit 60.

(Example of service effect information)
2 shows examples of the service effect information displayed on the display 51 of the telephone 1, respectively. It should be noted that the display 51 may be provided not only on the main unit (main body) of the telephone 1 but also on a child unit separate from the main unit. Further, in the configuration in which the display unit 51 is also provided in the slave unit, the service effect information may be displayed on one of the display units 51 of the master unit and the slave unit.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the service effect information includes (1) information on the total number of incoming calls blocked (rejected) by telephones nationwide during a predetermined period (for example, during the previous month), and (2) telephone 1 by a predetermined period ( For example, information about the total number of blocked calls during the previous month may be included. Further, the service effect information includes (3) information on the number of times telephones nationwide block calls from a specific called number, and (4) telephone 1 blocks calls from a specific called number. Information on the number of times may be included. The service effect information may be any information as long as it is information indicating the effect of the nuisance call filter service. Of the service effect information of (1) to (4), the above (1) and (3) are provided from the server 100 to the telephone 1. Further, the above (2) and (4) are stored in the storage unit 60 of the telephone 1 (or are generated by the telephone 1 based on the data stored in the telephone 1).

(Service effect presentation processing)
The service effect presentation process A executed by the control unit 40 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of the service effect presentation process A. The service effect presentation process A is executed when the telephone 1 receives an incoming call.

  As shown in FIG. 3, first, the line connection unit 20 receives, from the PSTN, information (CID) indicating the telephone number (that is, the called number) of the originator of the call (S1).

  The event detection unit 41 detects that the telephone 1 is receiving an incoming call as a specific event that is a trigger for starting the service effect presentation process A (S2, specific event detection step). Further, the event detection unit 41 acquires the information of the called number from the line connection unit 20. The event detection unit 41 outputs the information of the acquired called number to the DB search unit 42. Here, the specific event includes that the telephone 1 receives an incoming call and that the operation of the telephone 1 related to the incoming call is performed. The operation of the telephone 1 related to the incoming call as the specific event includes, for example, displaying the incoming call history and playing the answering machine. In addition, for specific events, answering machine list display, call recording playback, call recording list display, phonebook display, phonebook edit, local blocklist display, local blocklist edit, permission number list ( It also includes displaying a list of telephone numbers that the user has determined to be safe, and editing the list of authorized numbers.

  The DB search unit 42 receives the called number information from the event detection unit 41. Further, the DB search unit 42 refers to the block list DB managed by the server 100 via the communication unit 30 and also refers to the local block list stored in the block list storage unit 61 of the telephone 1. Then, the DB search unit 42 searches the referred block list DB and the local block list for a nuisance telephone number that matches the called number (S3).

  When the DB search unit 42 finds the nuisance phone number that matches the called number in the block list DB, the call rejection operation execution unit 45 causes the DB search unit 42 to find the nuisance phone number that matches the called number in the block list DB. If found (Yes in S4), the incoming call refusal operation execution unit 45 instructs the line connection unit 20 to execute the incoming call refusal operation and close the telephone line of the telephone 1 (S5).

  In S5, the notification unit 43 displays the service effect information (see FIG. 2) indicating the number of blocks of incoming calls on the display 51 of the output unit 50 while the incoming call rejection operation execution unit 45 is executing the incoming call rejection operation. (S6, effect information presentation step). Here, when the telephone 1 receives an incoming call, the communication unit 30 may connect to the server 100 and refer to the latest block list DB. Alternatively, the communication unit 30 may download the block list DB from the server 100 in advance (for example, while the telephone 1 is in the standby state) and store the block list DB in the storage unit 60. The block list DB downloaded and stored in the storage unit 60 may be referred to when the communication unit 30 and the server 100 cannot communicate with each other when the telephone 1 receives an incoming call.

  After the incoming call rejection operation execution unit 45 executes the incoming call rejection operation in S5, the line connection unit 20 closes the telephone line of the telephone 1 (S7). After the line connection unit 20 closes the telephone line of the telephone 1, the notification unit 43 may output the service effect information from the output unit 50 (S8, effect information presentation step). Here, the notification unit 43 may display the service effect information on the display 51, or may output the service effect information from the speaker 52. Alternatively, the notification unit 43 may notify the service effect information using both the display 51 and the speaker 52. In addition, the notification unit 43 may alert the user by presenting the service effect information and blinking the LED 53. The incoming call rejection operation executing unit 45 records, in the incoming call history information storage unit 62, as the incoming call rejection history information, the date and time when the telephone 1 received the nuisance call together with the called number of the telephone that rejected the response.

  Then, the telephone 1 shifts to the standby state, and the standby screen is displayed on the display 51 (S9). While the telephone 1 is in the standby state, the notification unit 43 may display the service effect information on the display 51 alternately with the standby screen or together with the standby screen (S10, effect information presenting step). Further, the notification unit 43 may display the service effect information on the display 51 and blink the LED 53 in a predetermined color (for example, red). After that, when the user performs some key operation, the display 51 may change to a state where only the standby screen is displayed.

  The notification unit 43 may notify the information on the date and time when the telephone 1 received the nuisance call as one of the service effect information. Further, when the notification unit 43 can obtain the information of the telephone number of the telephone that has received the nuisance call from the server 100, the notification unit 43 identifies the area where the nuisance call is common based on the telephone number, and calls the nuisance call Information of a region with a large number of calls (that is, a region with a large number of telephones 1 receiving a nuisance call) may be notified as one of the service effect information.

  In addition, the notification unit 43 registers information on the number of users nationwide who have deleted the called number of the telephone that the telephone 1 refused to answer from the local block list, and the called number in the telephone directory (a list of safe telephone numbers). Information about the number of users nationwide (that is, certified as a safe telephone number) may be notified. In addition, when the telephone 1 receives an incoming call from an unknown telephone number, the notification unit 43 may notify the information on the number of times that the response from the telephone number to the telephone is rejected by users nationwide. The information on the number of persons and the information on the number of times described above are provided from the server 100 to the telephone 1.

  On the other hand, in S4, when the DB search unit 42 does not find the nuisance phone number that matches the called number in the block list DB (No in S4), the DB search unit 42 searches the nuisance phone number that matches the called number. If it is found from the local block list (Yes in S11), the incoming call rejection operation execution unit 45 instructs the line connection unit 20 to execute the incoming call rejection operation and close the telephone line of the telephone set 1 ( S12).

  In S12, the notification unit 43 may notify the service effect information from the display 51 and the speaker 52 of the output unit 50 while the call rejection operation execution unit 45 is executing the call rejection operation (S13, presentation of effect information). Step).

  After the incoming call rejection operation execution unit 45 executes the incoming call rejection operation in S12, the line connection unit 20 closes the telephone line of the telephone 1 (S14). After the line connection unit 20 closes the telephone line of the telephone 1, the notification unit 43 may notify the service effect information from the output unit 50 (S15, effect information presentation step). In S13, when the user answers a call from an unknown (or not registered in the phonebook) called number, the notification unit 43 alerts the user to pay attention to a dangerous call. May be.

  Then, the telephone 1 shifts to the standby state, and the standby screen is displayed on the display 51 (S16). While the telephone 1 is in the standby state, the notification unit 43 may display the service effect information on the display 51 alternately with the standby screen (S17, effect information presenting step).

  On the other hand, in S4, when the DB search unit 42 does not find the nuisance phone number that matches the called number from the local block list (No in S11), the ring tone sounding unit (not shown) of the control unit 40 outputs The incoming ring is made to ring using the speaker 52 of the unit 50 (S18).

  In S18, the notification unit 43 may display the service effect information on the display 51 alternately with the screen displayed at the time of the incoming call while the ringing tone ringing unit is ringing the ringing ring (S19, effect information presentation). Step).

  The user who listens to the incoming call ring responds to the incoming call (for example, goes off hook of the handset of the telephone 1) to make a call (S20). While the user is talking on the telephone, the notification unit 43 may display the service effect information on the display 51 alternately with the screen displayed during the call (S21, effect information presenting step).

  After S20, the user performs an operation for ending the call (S14). The processing flow S15 to S17 after S14 is as described above.

  As described above, according to the service effect presentation process A, the effect of the nuisance call filter service can be visually or audibly notified without any special operation by the user. Further, since the DB search unit 42 searches for the called number from both the block list DB managed by the server 100 and the local block list of the telephone 1, as compared with a configuration in which the called number is searched from only one of them. , The accuracy of determining unwanted calls is improved. The step of presenting the service effect information is performed by each branch of the service effect presentation processing A (first branch: S4 to S10, second branch: S11 to S17, third branch: S18 to S20 and S13 to S17. ), at least one is included. For example, in each branch including S4 to S10, the notification unit 43 displays the number of blocks (S6) only while the incoming call rejection operation execution unit 45 is executing the incoming call rejection operation (S6), and at the end of the call ( The number of blocks may not be displayed during S7) and during the display of the standby screen (S9). On the other hand, in the branch including S18 to S21, the notification unit 43 displays the number of blocks (S21) only while the user is talking (S20), and does not display the number of blocks in steps other than S21. Good.

  In addition, in one modification, in S6 and S13 of the service effect presentation process A, the notification unit 43 alternately switches between the “screen showing that the incoming call rejection operation is being performed” and the “screen showing the number of blocks”. It may be displayed. Here, if the user performs an end call operation while the notification unit 43 is displaying the "screen indicating that the incoming call rejection operation is being performed", the service effect presentation process A proceeds to S7 and S14. Become. Therefore, it is preferable that the notification unit 43 first displays the “screen for displaying the number of blocks”. Thus, the notification unit 43 can reliably display the number of blocks in S6 and S13, regardless of the timing of the call termination operation performed by the user during the incoming call rejection operation. Alternatively, in this modification, the notification unit 43 may display the number of blocks at least at the time of ending the call. With this configuration, the notification unit 43 can reliably display the number of blocks in S8 and S15 even if the number of blocks cannot be displayed in S6 and S13.

  The notification unit 43 presents the service effect information to the service not only when the telephone 1 subscribes to the nuisance call filter service but also when the telephone 1 does not subscribe to the nuisance call filter service. May be recommended to join.

  Further, when the DB search unit 42 finds a nuisance phone number matching the called number in the block list DB (Yes in S4), or the DB search unit 42 finds a nuisance phone number matching the called number in the local block list. In this case (Yes in S11), the notification unit 43 may present, as one of the service effect information, information indicating whether the called number is included in the block list DB or the local block list.

At this time, the event detection unit 41 detects the key operation as a specific event for starting the service effect presentation process B (S202, specific event detection step). The event detection unit 41 notifies the DB search unit 42 that a specific event has been detected.

  Next, the DB search unit 42 refers to the history information storage unit 62 of the storage unit 60, and refers to the incoming call rejection history, that is, (1) the nuisance telephone number registered in the block list DB of the server 100 (first Whether or not there is a history of incoming calls from the nuisance telephone number) and (2) a history of incoming calls from the rejected telephone number (second nuisance telephone number) registered in the local block list of the block list storage unit 61. Is determined (S203).

  When the incoming call rejection history exists (Yes in S203), the wearing/listening presentation unit (not shown) of the control unit 40 displays a list of the incoming call history on the display 51 (S204). While the dressing presentation unit is displaying the list of incoming call history, the notification unit 43 alternately displays the service effect information indicating the number of blocks of incoming calls on the display 51 with the screen displaying the list of incoming call history. (S205, effect information presentation step).

  On the other hand, if the DB search unit 42 determines in S203 that the incoming call history does not include the incoming call rejection history (No in S203), the notification unit 43 displays a list of the incoming call history on the display 51 (S206). However, in the case of No in S203, the notification unit 43 may or may not display the service effect information on the display 51.

  According to the service effect presentation process B of this embodiment, the service effect information can be presented while the user is checking the incoming call history. Further, when the incoming call history includes the incoming call rejection history, the service effect information is presented, so that the user can be made to understand the effectiveness of the nuisance call filter service well.

  It should be noted that the effect information presenting step does not necessarily have to be executed while the dressing presenting section is displaying the list of incoming call history. That is, in one modification, the effect information presenting step may be executed in accordance with at least one of S201, S202, and S204. According to the configuration of this modification, a nuisance call can be alerted.

[Summary]
A telephone set (1) according to aspect 1 of the present invention is a telephone set that rejects a response to a nuisance call based on a first nuisance call number provided by a server, and is an incoming call or a call related to the incoming call. A specific event detection unit (event detection unit 41) that detects the operation of the telephone as a specific event, and when the specific event detection unit detects the specific event, based on the first nuisance telephone number at a predetermined timing. And an effect information presenting unit (notifying unit 43) that presents effect information indicating the effect of rejecting a response to a nuisance call.

  According to the above configuration, when the occurrence of the specific event is detected, the effect information indicating the effect of rejecting the response to the nuisance call based on the first nuisance call number is presented. Therefore, unlike the related art, it is possible to notify the user of the effect obtained by the telephone receiving the provision of the first nuisance telephone number from the server, without the need to undergo a special operation for presenting the effect information. .. The specific event may be, for example, that the telephone receives an incoming call, or that an operation for browsing the incoming call history of the telephone is received. Further, the predetermined timing may be, for example, while the ring tone is ringing, while the telephone is performing the response refusal operation, or after the end of the call.

  A telephone according to aspect 2 of the present invention is the same as aspect 1 above, further including an information acquisition unit that acquires nuisance call information that is information about nuisance calls from the server, and the information acquisition unit uses the nuisance as the effect information. The nuisance call information associated with the telephone number of the originator of the call may be acquired.

  According to the above configuration, the nuisance call information associated with the phone number of the originator of the nuisance call (for example, how many users (including users of other phones) refused to answer the call from the originator) Information indicating whether or not) can be presented to the user of the telephone. Therefore, the user can know that the telephone can effectively reject the nuisance call by receiving the provision of the first nuisance call number from the server.

  A telephone according to aspect 3 of the present invention is the telephone according to aspect 1 or 2, wherein the nuisance call rejected by the telephone is (i) an incoming call from the first nuisance telephone number, and (ii) the telephone by the user. And the incoming call from the second nuisance phone number registered in the above. The effect information is that the telephone number of the originator of the nuisance call is the first nuisance telephone number and the second nuisance telephone number. It may include information indicating to which of the two cases it applies.

  With the above configuration, it is possible to notify the user of the telephone of the information that serves as the basis for determining that the telephone received by the telephone is an unwanted call.
