JPH01253349A - Telephone set with automatic service releasing function - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the misrelease of set service by using a selection number comparing means which compares a selection number that is newly dialed by a selection number reading means with a selection number stored in a dial history memory means for detection of the coincidence or discordance between both selection numbers. CONSTITUTION:The selection numbers dialed by a dial means 1 are sequentially read by a selection number reading means 2 and stored successively in a dial history memory means 3. Thus the means 3 stores plural selection numbers. A selection number comparing means 4 compares said read selection number with a service setting number 5-1 (for transfer of absence, an automatic answering telephone, etc., to be set and released) registered previously in a specific service setting/releasing state control means 5 among those services including the transfer of absence, automatic answering telephone function, voice mail, etc., which are received form a switchboard storing a telephone set containing an automatic service releasing function. When coincidence is obtained between both numbers, a flag is set at the means 5 to shown that the relevant specific service is being offered.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a telephone set connected to an exchange that provides services such as call forwarding and setting/cancellation.

[Conventional technology]

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, there have been various services provided by exchanges such as PBXs, such as a transfer service in the event of an absence and an answering machine function. In order to cancel these services, the user would consciously send a signal from the telephone to cancel the service.

[Problems to be solved by the present invention]

In conventional systems, it was necessary to input a cancellation signal in order to cancel various services set on the exchange, so if you forgot to cancel, you would return to your seat and the answering machine function would become unnecessary, etc. Even if there is no point in continuing to set the service, there is a drawback that the set service will not be canceled forever.

[Means to solve the problem]

In the present invention, the setting status of services set for an exchange is managed by a telephone. By sequentially collecting the phone numbers of the people the user calls on a daily basis and comparing the collected phone numbers with the phone numbers of the people the user calls when the service is set up, the user's current location ( A device that determines whether the called party's telephone number matches one of the collected telephone numbers) or is absent (the called party's telephone number does not match any of the collected telephone numbers) and controls the cancellation of the service. It is composed of

In claim 1, the user's presence/absence is characterized for all the parties to which the user has previously spoken.In claim 2, the presence/absence of the user is characterized for only the parties to which the user is particularly likely to make a call, among the parties to which the user has spoken. We configured a device to determine absence.

[Effect]

Users can manage the usage status of the services provided by the exchange using the telephone connected to the exchange, and can communicate with the other party they talk to on a daily basis.
Since there is a function to determine the user and cancel the service based on a comparison of callers when setting the service, it is possible to prevent forgetting to cancel the service that has been set. In the second aspect of the invention, since the judgment is made by narrowing down the number of parties to whom daily calls are made, the possibility of malfunction can be reduced.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a first embodiment of the present invention.

1 is a dial means, 2 is a selection number reading means, 3 is a dial history storage means, 4 is a selection number comparison means, 5 is a specific service setting/cancellation status management means, 6 is a selection number sending means, and 7 is a service cancellation confirmation means. The service cancellation confirmation means 7 includes a display device 7-1 used to confirm service cancellation and a touch sensor 7-2 attached to the display device 7-1 to read touched coordinates. . 1OIj Business Note, Buddha τ°,] 1i1b.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the configuration side of the service status management table. 5-1 is a selection number for service setting, 5-2 is a selection number for service cancellation, and 5-3 is a flag for storing the service status (setting/cancellation).

To operate this, the selection number dialed from the dialing means 1 is sequentially read by the selection number reading means 2, and the read selection numbers are sequentially stored in the dial history storage means 3. A plurality of selection numbers are stored in . The read selection number is selected as the second service setting/cancellation status management means 5 for specific services among the services provided by the exchange in which the telephone with the service automatic cancellation function is housed, such as call forwarding, answering machine, voice mail, etc. As shown in the figure, the selection number comparison means 4 compares whether the service setting number 5-1 (for setting and canceling call forwarding, answering machine, etc.) is registered in advance, and if the two match. If it is determined that the specific service is being provided, a flag is set in the specific service setting/cancellation status management means 5 to indicate that the specific service is being provided. When a call is made from the dialing means 1 in this state, the selection number read by the selection number reading means 2 and the selection number stored in the dial history storage means 3 are compared by the selection number comparison means 4, If they match, it is assumed that the user of the telephone with the service automatic cancellation function has returned to his/her seat, and a list of currently set call forwarding and answering functions is displayed on the display device 7-1. When any service is selected from among the displayed services by inputting it through the touch sensor 7-2, a selection number for canceling the selected service is read from the specific service setting/cancellation status management means 5; The selected number sending means 6 sends out the readout number.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a second embodiment of the present invention.

8 is a history information editing means, and 9 is an editing storage means.

The other parts are the same as the reference numerals in FIG.

To operate this, dial history information consisting of selected numbers stored in the dial history storage means 3 is rearranged and edited by the history information editing means 8 in descending order of the number of calls made and the frequency of calls, and an edited list is created. It is stored in the storage means 9. When a call occurs when call forwarding or an answering machine function is set, the selected number dialed by the dialing means 1 and read by the selected number reading means 2 is compared with the selected number stored in the editing storage means 9. do.

〔Effect of the invention〕

A telephone with a service automatic cancellation function according to claim 1 is configured as described above, and has the above-mentioned function. Because it works, it is possible to determine the user of the phone based on the caller, and even when a service that requires cancellation is set, it checks the caller and checks the appropriateness of canceling the set service. This has the effect of preventing you from forgetting to cancel a service that you have set.

Since the telephone with a service automatic cancellation function according to claim 2 operates as described above, the editing storage means 9 includes the parties to which the user usually calls, and can be used by anyone, such as dialing 117, for example. Even in the case of claim 1, it is possible to accurately determine that the user has returned to his or her seat if the probability that the number to dial is included is small.
