Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a telephone exchange with a designated time calling function which is mainly used as a wake-up call service in hotels and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, at a designated time, an extension telephone set with a designated time for ringing a wake-up call or the like sends a ringing signal for 30 seconds to generate a ringing tone from the telephone for 30 seconds. There is a telephone exchange equipped with a designated time calling function that sends a designated time tone, a message, etc. when the telephone set is off-hooked within that time.

[0003]

By the way, a person who receives a service of a wake-up call by the ringing tone of an extension telephone set with a designated call time (hereinafter referred to as a "callee") will be staying in another room immediately after the wake-up call. Sometimes you want to call someone (hereinafter called "callee").

In this case, in the conventional designated time calling function, when the extension telephone which has made a wake-up call is off-hooked, a confirmation alarm sound is sent, but the extension telephone and the called party's extension telephone are automatically connected. could not.

Therefore, when the called party wants to make a call to the called party without forgetting to call the called party when the wake-up call is made, the calling message is requested to the hotel employee in advance and the hotel is called at the wake-up call at the designated time. The only option was to have the employee call the message to the called party.

Therefore, there is a problem that the hotel side needs to receive the call message and surely call the call message at the designated time, which imposes a burden on the hotel employee and increases the labor cost. It was Also, if there is a human error such as forgetting to make a call message from the person in charge to the called party, the called party will be annoyed and the credit of the hotel will be damaged. .

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and at the same time when a wake-up call is made at a designated time,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a telephone exchange in which the extension telephone of the connection source and the extension telephone of the connection destination are automatically connected so that the called party and the called party can talk directly after the wake-up call.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention connects a station line trunk interface means provided at an electrical connection point with a station line, a call line of a plurality of extension telephones, and a call path of the station line trunk interface means. Alternatively, a communication path means for opening, a data communication means for exchanging data with an extension telephone via a data communication line, a current time means for recognizing the present time by counting time, and a bell signal for connecting the extension telephone to the extension telephone. A bell signal generating means for transmitting via the telephone, an off-hook monitoring means for monitoring the off-hook of the extension telephone, a dial analyzing means for analyzing the dial from the extension telephone, a designated time storage means for storing a designated call time, and a connection Connection source extension storage means for storing the number of the original extension telephone,
When the dial analysis unit detects the call time designation data after detecting that the extension telephone is stored off-hook and the extension telephone storage unit that stores the number of the extension telephone of the connection destination, the designated time of the call time designation data is specified. The time storage means stores the number of the extension telephone of the connection destination in the connection destination extension storage means, and the number of the extension telephone of the connection source that is off-hook is stored in the connection source extension storage means. When the specified time of the specified time storage means coincides with the specified time of the specified time storage means, the connection source extension telephone stored in the connection source extension storage means is called, and when the connection source extension telephone is detected to be off-hook, the connection destination extension memory is stored. When the extension telephone of the connection source stored in the means is called and the extension telephone of the connection destination is off-hooked, the connection is established by the communication path means. It is made of a control means for connecting the call path with the extension telephone and the destination extension telephone.

[0009]

According to the present invention, at the same time as the wake-up call is made at the designated time, the extension telephone of the connection source and the extension telephone of the connection destination are automatically connected so that the called party and the called party can make a wake-up call immediately after the wake-up call. You can talk directly, so
On the hotel side, the work of receiving a call message and surely calling the call message at a designated time is unnecessary, which reduces the burden on hotel employees and reduces personnel costs. Further, human error such as forgetting to make a call message from the person in charge to the called party is eliminated, the called party is not inconvenienced, and the trust of the hotel is not damaged.
