CONSTITUTION:When a caller subscriber dials a specific code or a specific code plus a code relating to the specific code in the exchange system having a function storing a telephone number dialed by a called subscriber to a call control memory 11, the telephone number of the called subscriber stored in the call control memory 11 is read. Then the telephone number and the specific code or the specific code plus a code relating to the specific code are stored in a service registration memory 13 with cross reference to each other.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a method for registering a service by a subscriber in an exchange having a function that allows the subscriber to register a service, and in which a call can be made while the call is in progress or while the other party is temporarily on hold. The present invention relates to a service registration method by a telephone subscriber that allows the subscriber to register the telephone number of the other party.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art One of the services that a subscriber can register by dialing is a speed dial registration service.

[0003] This is the official telephone number, usually from "00" to
It is memorized as a two-digit code of "19", and when the subscriber makes a call using this speed dial, the subscriber must first enter "#".
Dial a special code such as , then dial the pre-registered two-digit abbreviated number. This allows the exchange to:
The official phone number corresponding to the dialed two-digit abbreviated number is read out and the line is connected.

[0004] Incidentally, such speed dial registration is generally performed by the subscriber using the following procedure. That is, first dial a special code such as "#" that indicates speed dial registration, then dial "00" to "
19", dial the predetermined two-digit code,
Next, registration is usually done by dialing the official phone number you want to register.

[0005] In order to realize such a registration function, an exchange conventionally has a call detection unit 1 that detects a subscriber's call, and a special code dialed by the subscriber, which receives and translates the special code dialed by the subscriber, as shown in FIG. A number receiving and number translation unit 2, a translation result recognition unit 3 that recognizes translation results, a shortened code/official code reception and code checking unit 4, a shortened code registration unit 5, a call control memory 6, and a service registration memory 7. have.

[0006] Now, when a subscriber wishes to register a shortened code, the registration is performed according to the following steps (1) to (10). That is, (1) First, when subscriber A makes a call, the call detection section 1 detects this, hunts the call control memory 6, and then passes the processing to the number reception and number translation section 2. Then, when subscriber A dials a special speed dial code, for example "#", for speed dial registration, the number reception and number translation section 2 receives the special code and stores it in the call control memory 6. , translate that special code. When the translation result recognition unit 3 recognizes that the result of this translation is “speed dial registration”,
The process is transferred to the abbreviated code/official telephone number receiving and code checking section 4.

[0007] When the abbreviated code/official telephone number receiving and code checking section 4 receives the two-digit abbreviated code from subscriber A and the official telephone number of the party to be registered, it stores these data in a call control memory. 6 and store it in
After checking whether the official telephone number to be registered is a number from which calls can be received, the process is transferred to the short code registration section 5.

[0008] The abbreviated code registration section 5 reads out the abbreviated code and official telephone number stored in the call control memory 6 and registers them in the service registration memory 7. Abbreviated dial registration is performed through the steps described above.

[0009]

However, in the conventional abbreviated dial registration function described above, it is necessary to dial a special code + abbreviated code + official telephone number. In addition to speed dial registration, when using other service registrations that require the other party's official phone number, be sure to use a special code + α + official phone number (here α
indicates some code related to special code)
need to be dialed.

[0010] As described above, since it is necessary to dial the official telephone number of the other party, if the telephone number is outside the area, the total number of digits becomes very long, and when dialing at the time of registration. The wrong phone number was often registered by mistake.

[0011] The present invention takes advantage of the fact that the telephone number of the other party during a call is guaranteed to be correct, and during the call,
By dialing only the special code or special code +α, the official phone number of the other party stored in the call control memory can be read out, and that phone number can be registered as a service registration, and the registration procedure for the subscriber is performed. The aim is to realize a service registration system for telephone subscribers that can simplify the process and improve convenience.

[Means for Solving the Problems] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the basic configuration for explaining the principle of the present invention, in which 11 is the official telephone number of the called subscriber B dialed by the calling subscriber A. 12 is a control unit (processing functions etc. will be described later); 13 is a call control memory in which subscriber A is stored as subscriber B;
When registering a telephone number for a service such as speed dial registration, the control unit 12 controls a special code for registering the service, or a special code + a code related to this special code (such as a shortened code). This is a service registration memory that stores the subscriber B's telephone number (stored in the call control memory 11) in correspondence with the subscriber B's telephone number.

The control unit 12 monitors the call status between subscriber A and subscriber B, and either keeps the call status or temporarily puts subscriber B on hold and receives a special code or special code+ from subscriber A. This is a code that means that subscriber A receives a code related to this special code, recognizes what registration the special code is for, and registers for the service using subscriber B's phone number. When this is recognized, the telephone number of subscriber B stored in the call control memory 11 is read out, and the special code or special code + code related to this special code and the telephone number of subscriber B are used for service registration. Control is performed such that each is stored in the memory 13 in a corresponding manner.

[0014]

[Operation] In such a configuration, when subscriber A dials the telephone number of subscriber B and the two parties enter a conversation state, the call control memory 11 stores the telephone number of subscriber B dialed by subscriber A. The number is stored.

[0015] During this call, subscriber A communicates with subscriber B.
When attempting to register, for example, a telephone number by speed dial, subscriber B is temporarily put on hold and first dials a special code (for example, "#") for speed reduction. When this special code is received by the control unit 12, the control unit 1
2 translates what kind of registration the special code is, and recognizes from the translation result that it is a speed dial registration.

Next, subscriber A selects a two-digit abbreviation code for subscriber B's telephone number from "00" to "19" and dials the abbreviation code. When the control unit 12 receives the short code, it reads out the telephone number of subscriber B stored in the call control memory 11, and
The phone number and the short code are stored in the service registration memory 13.
Each is stored in a corresponding manner at a predetermined address.

[0017] In this way, when subscriber A on the calling side registers a service using subscriber B's telephone number during a call with subscriber B on the called side, a special code or special code + special code related to It is only necessary to dial a code (such as an abbreviated code), and there is no need to dial the telephone number of subscriber B as in the past, making service registration extremely convenient.

[0018]

Embodiment Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. In this embodiment, processing operations will be described when subscriber A on the calling side is on a call with subscriber B on the called side, and the call is temporarily put on hold and the telephone number of subscriber B is registered by speed dial.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the state of a call between subscriber A and subscriber B. First, state S1 shows that subscriber A is talking with subscriber B, and state S2 shows that subscriber A is talking with subscriber B. This shows a state in which a call is temporarily put on hold in order to perform speed dial registration, and a special code for speed dial registration is dialed. In this state S2, subscriber B is on hold, and at this time, a dial tone is being transmitted to subscriber A and a hold tone is being transmitted to subscriber B.

[0020] In state S3, subscriber A is
'', a preselected two-digit abbreviation code is dialed, and at this time, subscriber B is on hold, and a hold tone is being transmitted to subscriber B.

[0021] When this abbreviated registration is completed, the original normal call state returns (state S4). Such registration processing during a call is controlled by the components shown in FIG.

In FIG. 3, numeral 21 is a first call control memory in which the telephone number of subscriber B on the called side is stored, and when subscriber A dials subscriber B, the call status (as shown in FIG. In state S1), the telephone number of subscriber B dialed by subscriber A (for example, "012-345-6789") is stored.

Reference numeral 22 denotes a call state management section, which monitors the state S1 in FIG. 23 is a special code from subscriber A (here, for example, "#" for short registration)
Then, the special code is sent to the second call control memory 24.
This is a call receiving and translating unit that stores the special code at a predetermined address and translates what the special code is registered for. 25 is a translation result recognition unit that recognizes the translation result.

Further, 26 is an abbreviated code receiving unit during a call, and upon receiving an abbreviated code (for example, a two-digit code such as "01") from a subscriber, the abbreviated code is sent to the second call control terminal. It is stored at a predetermined address in the memory 24.

27 receives the control signal from the abbreviated code receiving section 26 during a call, reads out the abbreviated code stored in the second call control memory 24, and reads out the abbreviated code stored in the first call control device 21. Read subscriber B's official phone number ("012-345-6789"),
These abbreviated codes and official telephone numbers are stored in the service registration memory 28. In this case, the short code and its official phone number are stored correspondingly.

Next, the processing operation of the abbreviated dial registration procedure in the above configuration will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. Assuming that subscriber A calls subscriber B and subscriber A and subscriber B are on the phone (state S1 in FIG. 2), in this state, the first call control memory 21 stores Person B's telephone number "012-345-6789" is stored. This state is monitored by the call state management unit 22, and when a hooking from subscriber A is received at this time, the call state management unit 22 hunts the second call control memory 24.

[0027] Here, subscriber A dials the special code "#" in order to register the telephone number of subscriber B by speed dialing (state S2). At this time, the call is on hold for subscriber B, and a hold tone is being sent to subscriber B and a dial tone is being sent to subscriber A.

Then, the special code dialed by subscriber A is input to the call digit reception and translation section 23, and is stored in a predetermined location of the second call control memory 24 by the call digit reception and translation section 23. At the same time, the special code is translated. When the translation result recognition unit 25 recognizes that this special code is a code for performing speed dial registration, the processing is transferred to the call speed reduction code reception unit 26.

[0029] Here, subscriber A uses the abbreviated code, that is, subscriber B's official phone number "012-345-6789."
Dial the abbreviated code (here "01") for (state S3 in FIG. 2).

[0030]Then, the call abbreviation code receiving section 26
receives the abbreviated code signal from subscriber A, stores the abbreviated code in a predetermined location in the second call control memory 24, and then transfers the processing to the abbreviated code registration section 27.

The short code registration unit 27 reads out the short code "01" from the second call control memory 24, and reads the telephone number of subscriber B "012-345-" from the first call control memory 21. 6789" and store these shortened codes and phone numbers in the service registration memory 28.
Store in. In this case, the short code “01” and “012-345-
6789" are stored in pairs at predetermined addresses.

[0032] Through the above processing operations, it is possible to register the telephone number of the other party (receiving party) during a call by speed dialing. Then, when the shortened registration process is completed, the hold state for subscriber B is released and the normal call state (state S4 in FIG. 2)
3, the process in FIG. 3 also returns to the call status management unit 22, and the call status is again monitored.

[0033] In the above embodiment, the processing operation when performing speed dial registration has been explained, but the present invention is applicable not only to speed dial registration but also to the telephone number dialed by the calling subscriber (the telephone number of the called subscriber). ), this invention can be applied to any service registration using.

[0034]

[Effects of the Invention] When a calling subscriber registers a service using the telephone number of a called subscriber during a call with a called subscriber, the receiving side By using the telephone number of the called subscriber dialed by the subscriber, at the time of registration, only the special code for registration or the special code + code related to this special code is required, and the input of the telephone number of the other party is unnecessary. Since this is not necessary, the registration procedure can be simplified, and since there is no need to dial a telephone number, there will be no possibility of an incorrect number being registered, making it extremely convenient for subscribers.
