Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for recognizing non-respondents by individual conferences from an arbitrary terminal by generating non-respondent lists by the individual conferences in an exchange, and informing non-respondent extension numbers by the individual conferences by LCD display or talkie in accordance with a request from the arbitrary terminal. SOLUTION: When the terminal 2-1 of the extension number 5100 dials a conference special number 4000, the exchange 1 gives incoming calls to the extension numbers 5000-5003 of conference members to whom the incoming calls are to simultaneously be given by a conference number corresponding member extension number information table in a storage device 9 and connects the terminals making a response to the conference. The non-respondent list corresponding to conference number is generated and stored in the storage device 9. When the non-respondent list for the conference of the conference special number 4000, which the terminal with the extension number 5100 being a sponsor holds at present is requested, the non-respondent list is transmitted to a person who requests. When the list is received, the exchange acknowledges the non-respondent list and judges whether LCD exists in the terminal of the extension number 5100. When it exists, the extension number 5100 is stored in a non-respondent list transmission destination column, and the non-respondent list is displayed in LCD of the terminal 5100.

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional exchange, a conference call service is one of the services. This is to associate multiple terminals as members of a conference call with a dial of a specific special number or extension number, and dial this special number or extension number to call the registered terminals all at once,
The conference call can be made by the response of the terminal.

By the way, when performing this service, it is not possible to know who and who of the individual members of the member are responding and who and who are not responding in order to make a simultaneous call, and make an oral inquiry. There was a need. In order to solve this problem, a phone with an LED is set as a monitor, the LED that this monitor has is assigned to each member, and each member participates in the LED display state.
A service with a function to monitor the status of non-participation has been realized.

However, when a terminal not set as a monitor or a terminal not equipped with an LED does not know the response status of the conference members, when a conference call is used to notify all the members of the contact information, who will be notified? I had to verbally ask if I responded. Further, even when a conference is held at a terminal for which a monitor is set, it is necessary to monitor the LED indicating the state of the responder during the conference to distinguish the member who has not responded from the member who disconnected after the response.

[0005]

As described above, in the conventional switching device, the response status of the conference members from the terminal not set as the monitor or the terminal not equipped with the LED when the paging service is performed. However, when notifying all the members of the matter by using the conference call, there is a problem that it is necessary to verbally inquire who responded, and when the conference is held on the terminal set as the monitor. Even during the meeting,
There is a problem that it is necessary to monitor the LED indicating the state of the responder to distinguish between the member who has not responded and the member who has disconnected after responding.

In view of this point, the present invention allows an unresponsive person in a conference to be recognized from an arbitrary terminal, and immediately recognizes a member who has not been able to convey a contact item or the like without constant monitoring during the conference. , It is an object of the present invention to realize a switching device capable of individually calling unanswered terminals after the end of a conference.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a plurality of terminals, and an exchange for accommodating the terminals, station lines and leased lines for circuit switching. In the exchange device, a conference call member storage means for storing a specific plurality of terminals among the plurality of terminals as a conference call member in association with a specific special number or a specific extension number, and for the specific special number or a specific extension number. A conference connection means for making a conference connection to terminals having a response by making a simultaneous call to a plurality of specific terminals of the conference call member by calling, and storing a terminal which is the conference call member but does not respond to the simultaneous call, Conference non-participant list creating means for creating and storing a conference non-participant list, and list sending for sending the conference non-participant list in response to a request from the terminal It characterized by having a stage.

Here, the terminal is either an extension terminal connected to the exchange or a portable terminal that wirelessly communicates with a base station connected to the exchange.

The list sending means provides a screen display on the terminal having the display means and a talkie display for the terminal not having the display means, so that the conference non-participant list is displayed. Is to be sent.

Further, when there is a response from a terminal that has not previously responded during the conference connection, the conference non-participant list creating means deletes it from the conference non-participant list.

As a result, the conference non-participant list is automatically created and sent in response to a request from the terminal, so it is easy to check and notify the members who could not convey the contact information. become.
