Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit a subscriber on an incoming side to hear a message recorded on the side of a telephone exchange by speedily calling a pager even if a subscriber on a transmission side does not know the pager call number of the subscriber on the incoming side. CONSTITUTION:When the subscriber A to whom general telephone service and paging service are given becomes absent, absence information on the subscriber A and the pager call number are registered in the storage device 14 of the telephone exchange 10. When a central control unit 15 detects an incoming call from the subscriber B to the subscriber A, it starts a voice mail device 12 and records the message from the subscriber B to the subscriber A. Then, the central control unit 15 starts the storage device 14, extracts the call number for calling the pager, which corresponds to the subscriber A, and transmits it to a radio call exchange 20.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a system to which the embodiment of the present invention is applied. In FIG. 2, a telephone exchange 10 that accommodates subscriber A on the receiving side and subscriber B on the calling side and provides general telephone service is connected to a wireless paging exchange 20 that receives a calling number and performs a paging service that calls a pager. , a case is shown in which a pager 40 is called via a transmitting base station 30. telephone exchange 10
is a communication path switch 1 accommodating subscriber A and subscriber B.

It includes a storage device 14 for storing information and pager calling numbers, and a central control device 15 for controlling them. The radio paging exchange 20 includes an incoming trunk 21 connected to the outgoing trunk 11, a receiving circuit 22 that receives transmitted information from the telephone exchange 10,
A base station control device 23 that controls the transmitting base station 30, a communication path switch 24 that accommodates these, and a central control device 25.
Equipped with.

The processing flow of the present invention will be explained below with reference to FIG. First, when subscriber A becomes absent, a predetermined special number and pager call number from subscriber A are received and registered in the storage device as subscriber A's absence information.
