A presence status display method for a button telephone device, comprising a main device that houses a console via an interface section and a control section that calls a button telephone corresponding to a button by pressing a button on the console, the main device comprising: The device has a presence status data storage unit that manages a plurality of presence statuses of each telephone holder, and the control unit recognizes the press of a presence status setting button of a button telephone, and controls the presence status setting button corresponding to the button telephone. , updates the presence state data in the presence state data storage unit according to the presence state corresponding to the pressed button, and controls the lighting of the presence state display lamp of this button telephone according to the updated presence state data. , the lighting of the lamp corresponding to this button telephone on each console is controlled in a plurality of blinking cycles and in a plurality of colors.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

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

The presence status display method of the button telephone device according to this embodiment is based on a main device 10, a plurality of button telephones 20, and a plurality of D
It is composed of an SS console 30.

Furthermore, the main device 10 includes a main control section 11 and a key telephone i.
A data section (RAM) 1 comprising an interface section 12, a DSS console interface section 13, a code section (ROM) 14, and a presence status data storage section 15A.
It consists of 5.

In the presence status display method of the key telephone device having such a configuration, each key telephone 20 is provided with a handset 21 and a dial button 22, as shown in FIG. Further, the button telephone 20 includes a plurality of presence state setting buttons 24A and a presence state display lamp 23.

As shown in FIG. 3, each DSS console 30 includes a DSS button 32 corresponding to each button telephone 20, and a DSS lamp 31.

Presence status data storage unit 1 provided in data unit 15
5A manages a plurality of presence states such as presence of the owner of each telephone 20, presence and busy, absence from office, and absence from office.

The main control unit 11 includes a button telephone interface unit 12
A key telephone 20 is housed through the DSS console interface section 13, and a DSS console 30 is housed through the DSS console interface section 13. In addition, the main control unit 11 receives the DS by pressing the DSS button 32 of the DSS console 30.
A call is made to the button telephone corresponding to the S button. Furthermore, the main control unit 11 recognizes the press of the presence status setting button 24 by the telephone holder, and sets the presence status data in the presence status data storage unit 15A corresponding to the holder of this telephone. Updates according to the presence status corresponding to the pressed button. Then, according to the content of this presence status data, the presence status display lamp 23 of this telephone is controlled to turn on, and each DSS
The lighting of the DSS lamp 31 corresponding to this telephone on the console 30 is controlled using a plurality of blinking cycles and a plurality of colors.

Next, the operation of the presence status display method of this button telephone device will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

The key telephone operator presses the presence status setting button 24 of the key telephone to perform a presence status setting operation (step St). Thereby, this button telephone outputs information related to the set presence state. This information is
The data is sent to the main controller 11 via the button telephone interface section 12 of the main device 10.

The main control unit 11 compares the sent information with the information in the presence state data storage unit 15A in the data unit 15 (step S2). Then, when there is a change in this presence state data (step S3), the main control section 11 performs control to update the data in the presence state data storage section 15A (step S4). Furthermore, the main control unit 11 performs a lighting control process for the presence status display lamp 23 of the button telephone according to the presence status data (step S5). Next, the main control unit 11 controls the DSS lamp 31 corresponding to the button telephone on each DSS console 30 according to this presence state data.
A lighting control process is performed (step S6). Through this lighting control process, a plurality of presence states are displayed, such as presence of the telephone holder, presence and busy (1) being busy in the office, 2 being away (away from the office), and 2 being away from the office (outside the office).

In this way, when the phone holder presses the presence status setting button, multiple settings such as presence, presence and busy, 1 away from work, 1 away from work, etc. corresponding to the pressed button can be set. Controls the lighting of the presence status display lamp that indicates the presence status. In addition, the DS that corresponds to the phone on the DSS console
By controlling the lighting of the S lamp using multiple flashing cycles and multiple colors, the phone holder can be used to indicate whether the phone holder is busy, present, away from the desk, or even if the phone holder is away from the desk, whether the phone holder is in the office or outside the office, etc. easily recognized by phone owners.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention controls the lighting of presence status display lamps indicating multiple presence statuses corresponding to the pressed buttons when a telephone holder presses a presence status setting button, and controls the lighting of the presence status display lamp on the console. By controlling the lighting of the lamp corresponding to the telephone in a plurality of blinking cycles and in a plurality of colors, there is an effect that the presence status of the telephone holder can be easily recognized by other telephone holders.
