Description

[Detailed description of the invention] A. Industrial application field The present invention relates to a telephone call method using a private branch exchange.

B0 Summary of the Invention The present invention provides a communication method in which a call is established between a sender and a receiver via the respective terminals by connecting a sending terminal and a receiving terminal using a private branch exchange. By connecting the sending terminal and receiving terminal when the recipient designation code to be entered matches the personal identification code entered by the receiver into the receiving terminal after receiving the broadcast according to the above input. , which allows the sender to directly call the intended recipient over a wide range of locations.

C1 Prior Art Generally, in companies where a large number of telephones are installed, private branch exchanges are used to connect outside lines and extension lines. These telephones used as sending and receiving terminals are each given a different extension number, and in order for the sender to talk to the intended recipient, the sender must call the extension number where the recipient is thought to be. They would then make a call, confirm that the person receiving the call was the intended recipient, or ask the intended recipient to intercede for them, before making the call.

The problem that the D0 invention aims to solve However, in general companies, it is not uncommon for - employees to hold multiple jobs concurrently, and meetings are held frequently, so it is common for employees to hold multiple jobs, and meetings are held frequently. In many cases, the intended recipient is absent, and their whereabouts remain unknown. Furthermore, there are many cases where one telephone must be used by multiple people.

For this reason, with the above-mentioned calling method, not only is there a lot of waste in searching for the intended recipient and asking the person receiving the call to act as an intermediary or leave a message, but also the urgent matters cannot be conveyed. There was also a risk that the smooth progress of business operations was being hindered.

In addition, devices such as so-called pagers that call the intended recipient by radio have been put into practical use, but even though the recipient needs to call again, the sender is unknown to the recipient, making it very difficult to call. It was inconvenient.

Wireless telephones such as so-called mobile telephones and cordless telephones are also known, but they are not practical for use within companies because they are not portable, expensive, and difficult to accommodate multiple channels. .

The present invention has been proposed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a telephone call method using a private branch exchange in which a sender can directly call the intended recipient over a wide range. The goal is to provide the following.

81 Means for Solving the Problems In the telephone communication method of the present invention, in order to achieve the above-mentioned objects,
The sender inputs the recipient designation code into the transmitting terminal, and in response to this input, the broadcasting facility broadcasts to call the recipient specified by the recipient designation code, and upon receiving the broadcast, the recipient is on the receiving terminal. The person identification code is input, and if the recipient designation code and the person identification code match, the sending terminal and the receiving terminal are connected via a private branch exchange, and the sending terminal and the above person are connected through each terminal. Establish a call with the recipient.

F0 Effect In the telephone call method of the present invention, when the sender inputs the receiver designation code into the transmitting terminal, a broadcast is made from the broadcasting facility to call the receiver designated by the receiver designation code. It is possible to specify a target recipient and make a call over a wide range, and the recipient can also know about the call even if he or she is moving within the range where the recipient can receive the broadcast.

Then, when the receiver receives the broadcast and inputs his/her personal identification code into the receiving terminal, if the recipient designation code and the personal identification code match, the transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal are connected via a private branch exchange. Since the connection is made, the recipient can use a nearby receiving terminal, and the sender can directly talk to the intended recipient.
