JPH0568098A - Subscriber data setting control system in voice mail service - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the need for installation of an RS232C interface installed over a long distance having been required for a conventional system when a voice mail equipment is provided to other station. CONSTITUTION:An exchange 6 accommodating a called party 1 reserving a voice mail service is provided with a called circuit 3 to receive a call from a voice mail device 5. After the end of processing of message registration, the voice mail device 5 references a cross reference table 8 to extract a telephone number of the called circuit 3 registered in advance, the information is sent to an exchange 7 and received by the called circuit 3 via a speech line 4b. Then the exchange 6 receives the telephone number of the called party 1 and an access code required for subscriber data setting processing received from the voice mail device 5 through the speech line 4b in terms of a DTMF signal.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a voice mail service of an exchange, and more particularly to a subscriber data setting control system in a voice mail service in which the exchange receives data necessary for controlling sending of a message confirmation tone.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In subscriber data setting in a conventional voice mail service, as shown in FIG. 2, a subscriber who owns a voice mail service after processing of either message registration or message deletion by a voice mail device 9 is completed. The switch 10 accommodating the subscriber to give the message confirmation sound to the terminal 1 receives the data necessary for controlling the transmission of the message confirmation sound from the voice mail device 9 using the RS232C interface 12.

[0003]

In this conventional subscriber data setting control system for a voice mail service, if the voice mail device is located at another station, the subscriber who owns the voice mail service is accommodated. In order to send and receive signals between the exchange and the voice mail device, a dedicated interface facility such as an RS232C interface for a long distance was required.

[0004]

A subscriber data setting control method in a voice mail service according to the present invention is a subscriber who holds a voice mail service after completing either message registration or message deletion in a voice mail device. In a subscriber data setting control method in a voice mail service, in which a switch accommodating this subscriber receives data necessary for controlling the sending of the message confirmation sound in order to give a message confirmation sound to a subscriber. A specific incoming circuit for receiving an incoming call from the device is provided, and the telephone number of the incoming circuit registered in advance is extracted from the comparison table provided in the voice mail device after the processing is completed, and the call line is connected to the incoming circuit. After the call is received via the access point, the exchange switches the access code required for the subscriber data setting process. Soil and telephone number of the subscriber DT
The configuration is such that an MF signal is received via the communication line.

[0005]

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining one embodiment of the present invention. The exchanges 6 and 7 are communication lines 4a and 4b.
, A voice mail device 5 is connected to the exchange 7, and an exchange 6 has an incoming circuit 3 for receiving an incoming call from the voice mail device 5 and a called party 1 having a voice mail service. A caller 2 who sends a call to the called party 1 is accommodated. The voice mail device 5 has a reference table 8 for extracting the telephone number of the incoming circuit 3 of the exchange 6 from the received subscriber number.

The operation will be described below. In FIG. 1, when there is an incoming call from a calling party 2 to a called party 1 who has a voice mail service, the call is transferred to a voice mail device 5. After the transfer, the voice mail device 5 automatically answers, and then the caller 2 leaves a message via the ordinary telephone line 4a.

Thereafter, the voice mail device 5 refers to the contrast table 8 and extracts the telephone number of the corresponding incoming circuit 3 registered in advance from the telephone number of the called party 1 and sends it to the exchange 7. , Another ordinary call line 4b is used to receive a call to the receiving circuit 3. Then, subsequently, the service access code for processing the subscriber data received from the voice mail device 5 and the telephone number of the called party 1 are transmitted by the DTMF signal from the exchanges 7 to 6 which are accommodated in the voice mail device 5. Sent to.

The exchange 6 identifies the called party 1 who has a voice mail service based on the information received by the call processing program, and then sets the subscriber data necessary for giving a message confirmation tone to the subscriber. To do. The exchange 6 calls the corresponding subscriber, in this case, the called party 1 according to the setting of the subscriber data, and sends out a message confirmation sound indicating that voice mail is left.

As described above, since it is possible to receive information by using a general telephone line and to access a subscriber having a voicemail service, RS232C which has been conventionally required.
No need to install an interface.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, an incoming circuit for receiving an incoming call from the voice mail device is provided in the exchange in which the subscriber having the voice mail service is accommodated, and the incoming call is received from the voice mail device. After the call is received to the circuit by using the communication line, the access code and the telephone number of the subscriber who owns the service are received by the DTMF signal through the communication line. In the case of a station, there is an effect that it is not necessary to install a hardware interface such as an RS232C interface for a long distance, which is conventionally required.
