Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent wasteful massage by registering message delete designation time altogether at the massage registration. CONSTITUTION:A message is registered by a button operation from a telephone set 1 and a time to delete the message is entered by dialing or pushbutton of the telephone set 1 altogether. Then a control section 6 checks the content of a storage section 7 periodically and when any message with a designated time coincident with the time at that point of time exists, the telephone set 5 gives a command to stop the display of presence of the message to a subscriber circuit 4 to delete the designation time information of the message from the storage section 7. Thus, wasteful message is prevented.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a message function of an automatic switchboard, and more particularly to a message deletion method.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this function has been available until once the caller registers a message for the called extension that does not respond to calls due to absence or other reasons, the registrant must delete the message again, or the registered user must delete the message. The message was not deleted unless the user performed an operation to accept the message.

[M problems that the invention attempts to solve]

With the conventional message function described above, it is not possible to specify the expiration time of a registered message, so if the message registrant leaves the message without deleting it or leaves the phone, the registered person will not be able to receive the message. If the registrant is not present when the registrant is called, or if the message is received a long time after the message was registered, the registrant may already have a message by the time the registrant calls the registrant. The disadvantage is that the registered message may be wasted once it is completed.

An object of the present invention is to provide a registered message automatic deletion method that solves the above problems.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, in the registered message automatic deletion method of the present invention, the message 9. Automatic switching equipment that has recording and display functions has a means for storing the designated deletion time of registered messages, and deletes the message at the same time when the caller registers the message for the called extension that has not answered. The message is registered in the previous name storage means by specifying a time, and the control device of the exchange automatically deletes the message at the specified time.

〔Example〕

Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. The present invention comprises a telephone set 1 and a telephone set 5 for registering and receiving messages, a subscriber circuit 2 and a subscriber circuit 4 for connecting each telephone set 1 and 5 to an exchange, and a telephone line for performing an exchange function. It is composed of a road switch 3, a control section 6 for controlling the entire system, and a storage section 7 for storing message deletion times.

Next, the operation will be explained. First, let us consider a case where a caller makes a call from telephone 1 and calls telephone 5, but there is no response. The caller becomes a registrant who registers messages from telephone 1 to telephone 5.゛Register a message by operating buttons on the telephone 1, and at the same time input the time at which you want the message to be deleted using the dial or button on the telephone. The control unit 6 receives the information input via the subscriber circuit 2 and sends an indication to the subscriber circuit 4 to which the message is registered that there is a message on the telephone 5.
Sends out instructions to do so. At the same time, the control section 6 stores the time at which the message is to be deleted in the storage section 7.

The message registration process is now complete, and the telephone 5 uses a lamp or the like to display the presence of a message.

The control unit 6 periodically checks the contents of the storage unit 7, and if there is a message with a specified time that matches the current time,
The telephone 5 instructs the subscriber circuit 4 to stop displaying the presence of a message, and also erases the specified time information of the message from the storage section 7.

When a person to whom a message is registered performs an operation to receive a message from the telephone 5, or when a registrant performs an operation to delete a message from the telephone 1, the message presence display on the telephone 5 is similarly stopped and the storage unit 7 is activated.

Delete the designated time information.

Furthermore, instead of inputting the time at which you want the message to be deleted when registering the message, by specifying and inputting the valid time after the message is registered, the control unit 6
It is also possible to convert the data to the time at which it is deleted and then store it in the storage unit 7.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention has the effect of preventing messages from being wasted by registering the message deletion designated time at the time of message registration.゛

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. An automatic exchange that has a message registration and display function on the telephone set has means for storing the designated deletion time of registered messages, and when a caller registers a message for a called extension that has not answered. A registered message automatic deletion method characterized in that the message is registered in the storage means by specifying the deletion time of the message, and a control device of the exchange automatically deletes the message at the specified time.
