Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain dialing without recognizing the location of a called party by a caller whichever optional terminal equipment a called party is in its talking available range by extracting a corresponding terminal number from ID call information and applying exchange connection to a terminal equipment corresponding to the terminal number and a terminal equipment generating the ID call information. CONSTITUTION:The user registers ID information to a terminal equipment 1-4 installed in an available range and informs itself to be resident in the available range of the terminal equipment 1-4 to an exchange network processing unit 10. A caller inputs an ID of a called party in terminal equipments 1-1-1-3 to give dialing to a called party. Then the exchange network processing unit 10 retrieves the ID delivered by a call among combinations of IDs and terminal numbers registered by users to obtain a terminal number corresponding to the ID. Thus, the arrival of the call is informed to the terminal equipment 1-4 installed within the available range by the called party.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention particularly relates to a switched network communication system that allows communication between arbitrary terminal devices in a communication system in which a plurality of terminal devices are connected.

[Conventional technology]

A unique terminal number is assigned to each terminal device connected to a switching network, such as FLT, facsimile, and communication terminals.

Conventionally, when communicating between arbitrary terminal devices, the calling party conducting the communication is aware of the terminal devices that are installed within the usable range of the called party receiving the communication. Exchange connections between arbitrary terminal devices were established by inputting the terminal numbers of the terminal devices.

Further, as related to this type of technology, for example, there is a technology described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-291239.

In a communication system where a public line network and a private line network are connected via a communication device, the address of the public network ( The data terminal device address) and the private network address (extension address) were associated and stored in the communication device.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the above conventional technology, if the calling party does not know the terminal number of the terminal device installed within the usable range of the called party, the calling party cannot make a call to the called party. could not. In addition, if the called party moves from the available range of any terminal device that he/she specified to another terminal device within the available range of any other user, the called party will not be able to accept calls made to him/her by other users. There was no way to receive it at the destination terminal device.

The purpose of the present invention is to make it possible for the caller to make a call without being aware of it, even if the called party is within the usable range of any terminal device, by making a call using a call that is unique to the user. be.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above purpose, in a switched network communication system in which multiple terminal devices are connected via a central switched network processing device and communication is performed between arbitrary terminal devices, ID information that identifies the user is input. means for generating ID management information by adding the terminal number of the terminal device from which the input is made to the input ID information; an input means for inputting more information about the communication destination; and an input means for inputting information from the communication destination; A terminal device having means for generating ID call information from information from the terminal device, means for storing the ID processing information generated by the terminal device, and a corresponding terminal number from the ID call information generated by the terminal device. and a switching network processing device having means for connecting the terminal device corresponding to the extracted terminal number and the terminal device that generated the ID call information.

Furthermore, this can be achieved by allowing each user to carry an ID information storage medium that stores ID information that specifies the user, and by providing a terminal device equipped with means for reading the ID information from the ID information storage medium.

[Effect]

The user uses a terminal device installed in advance within the usable range. Enter the ID information 'J-8' to inform the switching network processing device that you are within the usable range of the terminal device.

The calling party makes a call to the called party by inputting the called party's details on the terminal device.

In the switching network processing device, the ID registered in advance by the user
The ID transmitted by the call is searched from among the combinations of and terminal number, and the terminal number corresponding to the search is obtained.

As a result, even if the calling party does not know the terminal number of the terminal device within the available range of the called party, by inputting the calling party's details, the called party can be used by the switched network processing equipment. It recognizes terminal devices installed within range and notifies the terminal device of an incoming call.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail using the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of a switched network communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the concept of management information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the switched network communication system l1 has a central switched network processing device 10 and a plurality of terminal devices 1-1.1.
-2.1-3.1-4 are connected.

The terminal devices 1-1.1-2.1-3.1-4 are configured with a terminal processing device 2, an input device 7, and a reading device 8, and the terminal processing device 2 stores ID management information. Creation of ID calling information, transmission to switching network processing equipment 1-o, terminal number 4 added to the terminal equipment ffil-1.1-2.1-3.1-4, usage It has a memory 3 for storing an ID 5 input by a person, and further information 6 such as ID management information and ID call information generated from the terminal number and ID.

The input device 7 is used for input by the called party when the calling party makes a call to the called party.

Each user has an ID storage medium 9 in which the user's personal information is stored, and uses terminal devices 1-1.1-2.1-3.
The ID information is input by reading it with the reading device 8 in 1-4.

The switching network processing device 10, which is the center of the system, is composed of a switching network control device 11 and an ID storage device 14. In the switching network control device 11, terminal equipment i1-1.1-2.1-3.1-
ID storage device engineer 4 based on the ID call information sent from 4.

Updates, connections between arbitrary terminal devices, terminal devices 1. -Memory 1 for storing information 13 such as ID call information sent from 1.1-2.1-3.1-4
I have 2.

The ID storage device 14 stores the ID sent from the terminal device.
Management information etc. are stored.

Next, the ID stored in the storage device 14 as shown in FIG.
The concept of the management information table 15 will be explained with reference to FIG.

The ID management information table 15 has a table format in which the user's information corresponds to the terminal numbers of the terminal devices available to the user, and is formed from the ID management information sent from the five terminal devices. One twist can only be associated with one terminal number, but one terminal number can be associated with multiple twists. Now, with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 3, we will explain the user's terminal registration procedure and the series of steps from call origination to call reception.

Normally, the terminal device is in a state of waiting for input from the user (100). When registering a user terminal, the user uses a terminal device (here, terminal device 1-4 is used as an example) l-4 that is installed within the usable range, and sends a message to the reading device W8. The user sets the user's D storage medium 9 and reads the user's information. reading device 8
transmits the read ID to the terminal processing device W2 (101), and if it is from the reading device 8, it reads the terminal number 4 already stored in the memory 3 and the sent ID. Generate ID management information 6 (102). It is transmitted to the switching network processing device 1o (103). Switching network processing device 1o
Now, receive the sent ID management information 6 (104
), it is determined whether the ID management information is 6 (105). ID
If it is determined that the information is management information, the ID and terminal number are extracted from the ID management information (106). Using the extracted ID, the ID management information table 15 stored in the ID storage device 14 is searched (107). If there is the same ID, the corresponding terminal number is added to the received terminal number, and if there is no same ID, a new area is created in the ID management information table 15 and updated as new data (108
).

In the process from call origination to call reception, the caller inputs the called party ID while waiting for input from the user (100). The input ID is sent to the terminal processing device 2, and first, it is determined whether it is from a reading device (101). Since the input is not from the reading device, it is then determined whether the input is from the input device 7 (109). If it is determined that it is from the input device 7, ID call information is generated from the sent ID (110). It is transmitted to the switching network processing device 10 (1 1 1). The switching network processing device 10 receives the transmitted call information from the operator D (104). First, it is determined whether it is ID management information (105). If it is determined that it is not ID management information, then it is determined whether it is ID calling information (112)
. If it is determined to be ID calling information, the ID is determined from the ID calling information.
is extracted (l13). A search is performed in the ID management information table 15 stored in the ID storage device ↓4 (1
14). If there is a ID that is the same as the ID extracted from the ID call information, an incoming call is made to the terminal device with the corresponding terminal number (115). This establishes a connection between arbitrary terminal devices and enables communication.

If it is determined that the input from the user is not from the reading device 8 or the input device, and if it is determined that the input is not from the switching network control device 10, error processing is performed (1 1 6). .

The user information does not need to be a code specially provided for communication, as long as it can identify the user, such as the user's name.

According to this embodiment, the user can register which terminal device he or she is within the usable range as ID management information, and when making a call, the user can also The terminal device used by the called person can be specified, and it is only necessary to recognize the called person's name.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, when a user makes a call, the user can make the call to the called party without knowing which terminal the called party is using. can get.

In addition, when a user receives an incoming call, the user can register the terminal to be used with the switching network processing equipment in advance.
Receive a call from any party to you. This has the advantage that you can receive it from any device you use.
