Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Objective of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention provides an electronic system that executes a designated time paging service using a destination number set by a multi-function telephone and a designated time of the destination. Regarding switching equipment.

(Prior Art) In recent years, international companies and hotels have been demanding the construction of switching systems that provide more convenient and advanced services.

A timed paging service is an example of such a service. The specified time calling service is a service in which a destination number and a specified time are input from a multifunction telephone, and a service is executed to call the destination at the input specified time.

However, when making an international call, setting up a designated time calling service requires consideration of the time difference between the caller and the destination, and since daylight saving time has been introduced in some regions, the time difference may vary depending on the region. Not only that, but also the month and day must be taken into account, making time setting very complicated. In particular, when making international calls to multiple regions at the same time, setting the time becomes extremely complicated.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As mentioned above, when setting up a designated time calling service, it is necessary to take into account the time difference between the caller and the destination.
This eliminates the disadvantage that time settings are extremely complicated, and allows you to easily set a designated time calling service without considering the time difference between the caller and destination, thereby improving the service. The purpose is to provide an electronic exchange that can

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The electronic exchange of the present invention is connected to a multi-function telephone, and uses the destination number and designated time of the destination set by the multi-function telephone to receive a call at a designated time. In a device that executes a calling service, a first storage means storing a time difference with respect to the destination number, reading the time difference from the first storage means according to the destination number set by the multifunction telephone;
Judgment means for judging the execution time to actually execute the designated time calling service to the destination number from this time difference and the destination designated time set by the multi-function telephone, and the execution time determined by this determination means and the above a second storage means for storing the destination number set by the multi-function telephone; and when the current time reaches the execution time stored in the second storage means, the second storage means The apparatus is provided with execution means for executing a specified time calling service for the multifunction telephone by calling the called party using the called party's number stored in the telephone.

(Function) The present invention is a system in which a multi-function telephone is connected and executes a designated time calling service using the destination number and designated time of the destination set by the multi-function telephone. storing the time difference in a first storage means;
The time difference is read from the first storage means based on the destination number set by the multi-function telephone, and based on this time difference and the specified time of the destination set by the multi-function telephone, the destination number is actually called at the specified time. The execution time for executing the service is determined, and the determined execution time and the destination number set by the multi-function telephone are stored in a second storage means, and the current time is stored in the second storage means. When the execution time stored in the second storage means is reached, the designated time calling service for the Saturn multifunction telephone is executed by calling the called party using the called party's number stored in the second storage means. It is.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an electronic switching system according to the present invention. That is, a private branch exchange 1, a multifunction telephone 5 as a multifunction telephone terminal connected to this private branch exchange 1 via a multifunction telephone circuit 4, . . ., a connection between the private branch exchange 1 and a central office line. data is sent and received between the trunk circuits 6, . . . , the multifunction telephone circuit 4, . . .
It is constituted by a central control unit 7 which transmits and receives control data and controls the exchange operation of the private branch exchange 1 and the specified time paging service specified by the multifunction telephone 5.

The multi-function telephone 5 is configured to instruct the designated time calling service and to set the designated time and telephone number of the destination as the local time at which the user wishes to make a call to the other party.

The memory 8 stores a time difference table that stores the time difference between the area where the private branch exchange 1 is installed and the area determined by the country code and destination code (area code) included in the telephone number. the extension number (caller data) of the multifunction telephone 5 as the caller receiving the specified time calling service, and the execution time of the specified time calling service (the information between the calling source and the called party). A memory area 8b is provided in which the time (time taking into account time differences) and the telephone number of the other party (received party data) are stored.

As shown in FIG. 2, the time difference table in the memory area 8a includes the country code, destination code (
For each area number), the time difference between the area where the private branch exchange 1 is installed and the other party's destination, the period of daylight saving time in the area of the other party, and the correction value for the time difference are stored.

For example, if the country code is "1" and the destination code is r714J, the time difference is r+17j and the summer time period is r4. lj〜r
lO, 28J, and a time difference correction value "-1" are stored.

Next, the operation in the above configuration will be explained. For example, now, by pressing a key (not shown) on the multi-function telephone 5, the specified time (local time at which you want to talk to the other party) and the telephone number of the other party for the specified time calling service is displayed. is input. Then, the designated time and telephone number of the destination for the service are supplied to the central control unit 7 via the multifunction telephone circuit 4. As a result, the central control unit 7 determines from the time difference table stored in the memory area 8a of the memory 8, based on the country code "1" and the destination number r71.4J in the destination telephone number.
Read the corresponding time difference r+17J. At this time, the central control device 7 compares the current month and day with the daylight saving time period stored in the time difference table, and in the case of the daylight saving time period, sets the time difference to "+16 J" using the correction value "-1".

Next, the central control device 7 calculates an execution time that takes into account the time difference read out from the destination designated time supplied from the multifunction telephone 5, and uses the calculated execution time and the designated time supplied from the multifunction telephone 5. The destination telephone number (receiver data) and the extension number (caller data) of the multifunction telephone 5 that outputs the above-mentioned service instruction are stored in the memory area 8C.

In such a state, if the execution time stored in the memory area 8b matches the current time from the clock 9, the central control device 7 determines whether the execution time stored in the memory area 8b corresponds to the execution time. The multifunction telephone 5 is linked by reading the extension number of the multifunction telephone 5 and dialing the extension number. When the off-hook response signal of the linked multifunction telephone 5 is supplied to the central control device 7, the central control device 7
reads out the telephone number of the other party stored in the memory area 8b. Next, the central control unit 7 uses the private branch exchange 1 and the trunk circuit 6 to make a call from the multifunction telephone 5 to a telephone (not shown) corresponding to the telephone number of the other party.

As mentioned above, when making an international call, it is possible to make an automatic call to the other party at a time convenient for the other party without considering the time difference with the other party, allowing for efficient international communication. It can be performed.

In the above embodiment, a case has been described in which the specified time calling service is executed when the execution time and the current time match, but the present invention is not limited to this. When set, calculates the time until the specified time call from the execution time and the current time,
By setting this time in a timer, the designated time paging service may be executed in response to the timeout of this timer.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily set a designated time paging service without considering the time difference between the caller and the destination, and to improve the service. We can provide exchange equipment.
