From this location information, it can be determined that the user has not moved, so no recall call is made. Check the response 24 (connection completion response) from the home exchange 7.

FIG. 4 shows a processing flow (No. 2) when the receiving terminal is moving. The originating exchange 9 makes an inquiry 31 to the position information management means 1 about the position information of the receiving terminal.・ At the same time, a call 32 is made to the home exchange 7. Check the connection failure response 33 from the home exchange 7. -The response 34 (position information of the receiving terminal) from the position information management means 1 is notified. -Call 35 to the destination exchange 8 based on the position information of the called terminal. Check the response 36 (connection completion response) from the destination exchange 8.

FIG. 5 shows a processing flow (part 2) when the receiving terminal is not moving. The originating exchange 9 makes an inquiry 41 to the location information managing means 1 about the location information of the receiving terminal.・ At the same time, the call 42 to the home exchange 7 is made. Check the response 43 (connection completion response) from the home exchange 7. -The response 44 (position information of the receiving terminal) from the position information management means 1 is notified. At this time, since the call has already been established, the response 44 from the position information managing means 1 is ignored.

As described above, by making a call at the same time as the inquiry about the position information, the home exchange 7 can connect to the called terminal which has not moved without the time required for the position inquiry. Can be shortened.

In the above embodiment, the position information management means 1 responds to the position inquiry of the position inquiry means 3 even when the mobile terminal has not moved from the home exchange 7, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, for example, the position information managing means 1 is provided with a judging means for judging that the mobile terminal has not moved, and when the mobile terminal has not moved from the home exchange 7, a response of the position information of the receiving terminal to the originating exchange 9 is sent. The configuration may be such that transmission is not possible. As a result, unnecessary information can be prevented from being transmitted / received, and the communication cost can be reduced.

In the above embodiment, the location information of the exchange to which the mobile terminal belongs is obtained from the location information management means 1 provided on the originating exchange 9 side, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the location information management means may be the home exchange 7.
