Abstract

PURPOSE:To carry out transmission to a specified subscriber at specified time without consciousness by recording predetermined items and requests for time specified transmission by a calling subscriber in a voice mail equipment. CONSTITUTION:Subscriber A, in order to make registration to time specified transmission service, records in a voice mail equipment 6 as request record means a specific number, desired talk time information, and called network subscriber information. Further, the voice mail equipment 6 records a party's name, and item name to be sent out for transmission after dialing. Furthermore, the content of time specification is stored in a time specified transmission memory of a storage device 8, and the central processing unit 7 refers to the present time that generates the standard time and set specified information at a constant time interval. When it becomes a specified time, a line circuit 2 sends calling sound to call out a subscriber. Moreover, the mail equipment 6 regenerates information recorded therein, and send it out to subscriber A, whereby a calling subscriber can carry out transmission to a specified subscriber at specified time without his consciousness and can also protect forgetting of talking.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a calling method for an automatic exchange, and more particularly to a calling method for specifying a time.

0002

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as this type of time-specified calling method, there is a time-specified call (wake-up call).
There was no calling method in which subscribers specified a time.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The above-mentioned conventional time-specified calling system is not a calling system in which the calling time is specified between subscribers. The disadvantage is that the caller has to be aware of the time when the call ends or when he/she is told what time he/she will return from going out.

[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a time-specified transmission system that allows the transmission time to be specified.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The time-specified call system of the present invention allows a calling subscriber to register for a time-specified call service at an automatic switchboard by using a special number, desired call time information, and called network subscriber information. a message recording means for recording the message such as the name of the calling party and the subject to be sent after dialing; and information on the recording location of the message as well as the calling subscriber information, the designated call time, and the called network subscriber information. and the standard time generation means, and when the standard time and the designated call time stored in the time designated transmission information storage means match, the time designated call information storage means stores the time designated call information storage means, and when the standard time and the designated call time stored in the time designated transmission information storage means match, the means for reproducing the business matter recorded in the business matter recording means and notifying the calling subscriber; and reading out the called network subscriber information from the time-specified transmission storage means by the calling subscriber's business confirmation operation; It has a communication path connecting means for connecting the called network subscriber and the calling subscriber.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is a flowchart showing the time-specific transmission operation, Figure 2
3 is a flowchart showing the time designated call setting operation, FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of a time designated call memory, and FIG. 4 is a relay system diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

[0007] First, the setting of time-specified call will be explained with reference to FIG. When subscriber A goes off-hook and dials a special number for setting a time-specific call (S1), the central control unit 7 recognizes that it is a special number for setting a time-specific call (S2), and connects the line circuit 2 and register/ It is connected to the sender 5 via the switch 3.

Subscriber A continues to dial the call time and called network subscriber number (S3). When the register/sender 5 receives the dialing information, the central controller 7 connects the voice mail device 6 to the line via the switch 3. Connect to circuit 2.

[0009] Subscriber A records the message on the voice mail device 6 according to the guidance of the voice mail device 6 (S4), and goes off-hook (S5). The contents of this time-designated call setting are stored in the time-designated call memory of the storage device 8, as shown in FIG. This completes the setting for timed calling.

Next, the time-designated transmission operation will be explained with reference to FIG. When the above-mentioned time specified transmission is set, the central control device 7 checks the current time of a timer (not shown) that oscillates the standard time and the set specified time information at regular intervals (S11). At the specified time (S12), a ring tone is sent from the line circuit 2 to call subscriber A (S13).
.

When subscriber A responds (S14), the central control device 7 connects the voice mail device 6 to the line circuit 2 via the switch 3, and at the same time connects the voice mail device 6 to the line circuit 2 through the switch 3, and also connects the area corresponding to subscriber A in the time designated transmission memory of the storage device 8. The voice mail recording location information is read out from the voice mail device 6 and sent to the voice mail device 6.

[0012] The voice mail device 6 plays back the recorded content recorded at the location corresponding to subscriber A and sends it to subscriber A (S15). Subscriber A confirms that the call is to the called network subscriber B (not shown) and the purpose of the call (for example, to Mr. K: time-specific call method), which was recorded when setting the time-specific call. Then, hooking is performed (S16).

When the central control unit 7 recognizes this hooking (S17), it captures the central office line trunk 4 and the register/sender 5, and connects the called network subscriber in the area corresponding to subscriber A in the time specified call memory in FIG. Information is read from the storage device 8 and sent to the register/sender 5.

When the register/sender 5 finishes transmitting the called network subscriber information to the office line via the office line trunk 4, the office line trunk 4 of the line circuit 2 is connected via the switch 3 (S18). When the called network subscriber B responds (S19), the call state is established (S20).

[0015]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention enables a calling subscriber to make a call by dialing a special number, a specified time, a called network number, and recording the message in a voice mail device. The calling subscriber can make a call to a specified subscriber at a specified time without being aware of the calling time, and
You can prevent forgetting to call.
