Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a holding party of a talking to revise a kind of a holding tone in response to a talking opposite party. CONSTITUTION:When a talking opposite party identification data (d) is delivered from a CPU 7 to a TB3 while a TA2 and a TB3 are in talking via a SW1, the TB3 stores the data into a M31. When a holding tone type data (s) is inputted externally to the TB3, a SEL 32 selects one kind of a holding tone (e.g. a holding tone c) based on the talking opposite party identification data (d) and the holding tone type data (s) and sends the selected tone to the CPU 7. The CPU 7 controls the SW1 by the method well-known to connect the TA2 and an HC6 and the holding tone (c) from the HC6 is sent to the TA2.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a holding tone transmission system when a call in progress is put on hold in a storage program controlled switching system.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of exchange, when a call in progress is put on hold, the hold tone sent to the party on hold is fixed to a single type by the exchange.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the above-mentioned conventional hold tone transmission system, a single type of hold tone was sent from the exchange, so it was not possible to change the hold tone depending on the other party or the content of the call. There are drawbacks.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] The on-hold tone sending system of the present invention provides for a terminal housed in a storage program-controlled exchange having a call holding function and a holding tone source that generates a plurality of different types of on-hold tone. a storage means for storing identification data of a terminal to be called which is inputted from said exchange; and one holding tone from said holding sound source for each combination of identification data of said terminal to be called and holding tone type data inputted from the outside; and a selection means for selecting, and the exchange is characterized in that it transmits the selected holding tone to the terminal of the other party.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a storage program controlled switching system showing an embodiment of the hold tone sending system of the present invention.

The exchange of this embodiment is a switch (hereinafter referred to as SW).
terminals (hereinafter referred to as TA, TB) 2 and 3 accommodated in the terminal 1, and a holding sound source (hereinafter referred to as HA, HB, HC) 4, which transmits multiple types of held music with different frequencies or intermittent intervals, respectively;
5 and 6, and a central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as CPU) 7 that controls the sequence control of the exchange. The terminal (for example, TB3) selects one of HA4, HB5, and HC6 from the memory (hereinafter referred to as M) 31 that stores caller identification data, the hold tone type data input from the outside, and the caller identification data from M31. selector (hereafter SE
L) Consists of 32.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

[0008] When TA2 and TB3 are talking through SW1, when the communication partner identification data d is transmitted from CPU 7 to TB3, TB3 stores this in M31. Next, when the hold music type data s is input to TB3 from the outside, S
EL32 includes call party identification data d and hold tone type data s.
Select one type of hold tone (for example, hold tone c) from and press C.
Tell PU7. CPU7 controls SW1 using a generally known method to connect TA2 and HC6, and
Hold tone c from 6 is sent to TA2.

[0009]

Effects of the Invention As explained above, the present invention selects one of a plurality of holding tones based on the identification data of the terminal on the other end of the call transmitted from the exchange and the type data of the on hold tone inputted from the terminal. Therefore, the type of hold tone for a call can be changed depending on the person on the other end of the call.

Claims (1)

[Claims] Claim 1: A terminal housed in a storage program-controlled exchange equipped with a hold tone source that generates a plurality of hold tones of different types and having a call hold function receives identification data of a terminal to be called that is input from the exchange. and a selection means for selecting one hold tone from the hold sound sources for each combination of the identification data of the calling party terminal and the hold tone type data inputted from the outside, and the switching equipment A holding tone sending method characterized in that the held tone is sent to the terminal of the other party.
