If the information of the pressed function button is a search for presence information based on the analysis result by the presence state registration means registered in the file and the presence status determination means, the presence status management file The presence information editing means for retrieving the presence information from the presence status management file so that the telephone can display the presence information and the result edited by the presence status editing means. It is characterized in that it is provided with an occupancy status output means for outputting to a telephone via the private telephone network.

A second solving means of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problem is that the seat status display device described in the above-mentioned first solving means is provided in a telephone exchange for managing the private telephone network. Is characterized by.

A third solution of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is information processing which constitutes a telephone exchange connected through a private telephone network with a telephone having a message display section and a plurality of function buttons as a terminal. In a method of displaying the presence status of the device, a step of capturing the presence information that captures the information of the pressed function button of the telephone, and the information captured by the presence information capturing step is the presence information registration or the presence information. In the presence status determination step for analyzing whether or not the search is performed, and for the registration of the presence information based on the analysis result of the presence status determination step, the presence information that is the analysis result of the presence status determination step is included. The information of the pressed function button is displayed in the seat status management file and the analysis result of the seat status determination step. In the case of the search, the presence information editing step of searching the presence information from the presence status management file and editing the presence information read from the presence status management file so that the telephone can display the presence information, A presence status output step of outputting the result edited by the presence status editing step to the telephone through the private telephone network.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the multi-function telephone 1 plays the role of a terminal that serves as an input device and a display device in a seated state. The presence status display device 2 connected to the multi-function telephone 1 via a private telephone circuit network includes a presence status acquisition means 3, a presence status determination means 4, a presence status management file 5, and a presence status. The registration unit 6, the presence status editing unit 7, and the presence status output unit 8 are included.

In such a configuration, when registering attendance information of an officer or the like, a registration button on the multi-function telephone 1 which is an input device (as shown in FIG. 2, attendance, conference, assembly, absence) , Or go out or select a book) is pressed down to activate the presence status capturing means 3 of the presence status display device 2 and read the information of the depressed registration button. The seated state acquisition unit 3 reads the pressed button information and notifies the seated state determination unit 4 of the read information. The presence status determination means 4 determines who the presence information is based on the extension number information uniquely set for each multi-function telephone 1, and how the presence status button information notified from the presence status acquisition means 3 Determine if you are in a seated state. Then, the seated state determination means 4 notifies the seated state registration means 6 of the determination result. The presence status registration means 6 registers information on the result of the presence status determination means 4 in the presence status management file 5.

[0009] Next, when searching for the presence of an officer, etc., a search button (mayor, assistant 1,
Depressing (assistant 2, assistant 3, income earner) activates the presence status capturing means 3 as in the above registration process, and the depressed button information is read.
Then, the seated state acquisition unit 3 notifies the seated state determination unit 4 of the pressed button information. The seated state determination means 4 determines who the seated information is desired from the notified button information and which information is displayed. Also,
The seated state determination means 4 activates the seated state editing means 7 when the search button is pressed down. The presence status editing means 7 determines that the presence status determining means 4 determines that
The presence status information corresponding to the pressed search button is read from the presence status management file 5, edited to data that can be displayed on the multi-function telephone 1, and the presence status output means 8 is activated. The presence status output means 8 sends the edited presence status data to the multi-function telephone 1 that has performed the search operation. Then, the multi-function telephone 1 displays the information sent from the seated state output means 8 on the display.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, by registering or retrieving the presence status from the nearest multifunction telephone 1, it becomes possible to immediately obtain the necessary presence status. Further, in the above example, the multifunction telephone 1 and the presence status management device are directly connected, but the telephone exchange function and the presence status management function are distributed, and the management function is implemented by a general-purpose computer connected to the telephone exchange. It goes without saying that you can manage. Further, although the presence information of the multi-function telephone 1 is registered or searched by a dedicated button, it may be registered by a code formed by a combination of ten keys.

[0011]
