2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional camp-on device, a caller who encounters a busy state of a called telephone stores special information on the called telephone and the calling telephone to store the information of the called telephone. When the end of the call is detected, the called telephone and the calling telephone can be called based on the stored information (for example, JP-A-63-76557 and JP-A-63-3551). See the bulletin).

Further, there is a camp-on device in which a caller who encounters an unanswered call while calling a telephone of a called party sets a specific operation and a calling time to automatically call both at a specified time. (See, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-1138).

Further, the caller who encounters a non-response of the called party telephone performs a specific operation so that the storage section of the exchange stores the information relating to the call, and when the information is viewed from the called party telephone, There is a camp-on device that calls the calling party by performing a specific operation.

Further, the caller who encounters the non-answer of the called telephone is judged to be seated by detecting the off-hook operation following the off-hook operation of the called telephone by performing a specific operation, and is automatically detected. There is an unresponsive camp-on device that calls both parties (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-277840,
(See Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2166872).

Further, when the called portable terminal is not called out of the communication range, the calling party performs a specific operation, so that when the called portable terminal returns to the communication range, both parties are automatically operated. There is a camp-on device that can call and call (for example, see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-337951).

[0007]

The above-mentioned conventional camp-on device can be serviced when the called telephone is busy, and when the called party does not answer the call, a redial is made. It had to be done and was inefficient.

Further, in the case of automatically calling at a designated time, there is no means for confirming the presence or absence of both at that time, and if it is absent, the call cannot be made again, which is inefficient.

In addition, when making a call by looking at the camp-on registration status of the own telephone terminal from the called telephone, it is necessary to check the registration status by picking up the telephone terminal every time, for example, when the user is absent. , It was very troublesome to check when the mobile terminal was put in a bag or the like.

Further, in the case of making a call by an on-hook operation following an off-hook operation of the called telephone, the call is made from the time the called party is present until the telephone is operated, even though the call is possible. The efficiency was poor.

Further, when the called portable terminal returns from the outside of the communication area to the communication area, the camp-on device that calls is capable of providing service when the called portable terminal is out of the communication area and is also in the communication area. However, there was a problem that the service could not be provided if the called party was absent.

According to the present invention, by utilizing the personality and mobility of the portable terminal, the caller requests the camp-on registration service even when the called party is absent and does not respond. It is intended to provide a camp-on device for automatically connecting calls and contacts between both parties quickly and efficiently.

[0013]

According to the present invention, a vibration detecting circuit for detecting vibration is provided in a mobile terminal, and a caller requests a service even when no answer is given due to the absence of the called party. Thus, the called party mobile terminal is set to the vibration detection and monitoring state, and by detecting the vibration, it is determined that the called party is near the own mobile terminal, and the call of both parties is automatically connected.

According to the present invention, a detecting means for detecting vibration is provided on a portable terminal owned by the called party who has been camp-on registered by the calling party, and the called terminal carries the portable terminal. Is given, the vibration is detected by the detection means, it is considered that the called party is near the personal digital assistant, and the two are automatically connected based on the information registered in the camp-on. .

[0015]

In the present invention, the caller who encounters a non-response of the called party's mobile terminal due to the absence of the called party performs a specific operation to perform camp-on registration, and the called party carries the mobile terminal. When the person is walking, or when the vehicle is moving, such as when moving a car or train, it is determined that the called party is near the mobile terminal due to vibration of the mobile terminal, and both parties are called. Connect automatically. This will provide a quick and efficient camp-on service.
