It is an invention.

[0005]

Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. Reference numeral 1 denotes a wireless or wired communication line such as a dedicated line, a public line, a digital line, a satellite line, or the like. The communication line 1 is connected to one or a plurality of switching units 2 of the same type or a plurality of types. The communication line 1 has an O signal indicating that the communication is from a caller's telephone number, company name, personal name or an unspecified caller outside the service area, and a private line not displaying the caller number. A P signal indicating a signal,
Information for specifying the transmitting side such as a C signal indicating that the communication is performed by an unspecified caller from a public telephone or transmitting side information such as a message is transmitted via an exchange or the like. The switcher 2 has a detection unit 4, an operation unit 5, a switching operation unit 6, a control unit 7, and a notification unit 8, and three connection terminals that can be connected to a communication terminal 3 such as a telephone, a facsimile, and a personal computer. Things. The detection unit 4 of the switching unit 2 detects a transmission side information signal transmitted from the communication line 1.

The operation unit 5 of the switching unit 2 is composed of a keyboard, a control pad, etc., for setting and inputting one or a plurality of specific communication terminals on the calling side, and selectively connecting or selecting the communication terminals. Setting of the communication terminal 3 on the receiving side that selectively rejects connection, and communication terminal 3 on the receiving side that selectively connects or selectively rejects communication from a public telephone or an unspecified caller from outside the service area. When making a setting input or rejecting a connection, make settings so that a message such as a call back is sent by voice or text as calling party information.This setting input is made with calling party information sent through the communication line. Corresponding communication terminal 3 on the receiving side
Input of receiver information such as the telephone number, company name, or personal name of the user or acquaintance of the user who uses, and input of settings such as connection or connection rejection based on the agreement between the receiver information and the sender information. The setting and input data are registered in a storage unit such as a memory of the control unit 7 described later. The switching operation unit 6 of the switching unit 2 selectively connects or selectively rejects one or a plurality of communication terminals on the transmitting side and the communication terminal 3 on the receiving side.

The control unit 7 of the switching unit 2 selectively selects a transmission side information signal detected by the detection unit 4 and data input from the operation unit 5 and registered in a storage unit such as a memory of the control unit 7. The communication terminal 3 to be connected or the communication terminal 3 to selectively reject connection is determined, and the switching operation of the switching operation unit 6 is controlled based on the determination. The notification unit 8 of the switching unit 2, which includes a CRT, an LCD, a speaker, or the like, notifies the transmission side information detected by the detection unit 4, the setting input data, the message, and the like by the operation unit 5 as voice or text. .

[0008] Such a configuration is a dedicated line,
A communication line 1 for transmitting a transmission side information signal for specifying a transmission side such as a public line, a digital line, a satellite line or the like is connected to the switching unit 2 and, at the same time, the transmission side is specified via the operation unit 5 of the switching unit 2. A telephone number, a personal name, a company name, and the like as receiving side information corresponding to the calling side information are input. Further, when the detecting unit 4 detects the sending side information that matches the receiving side information, the communication terminal 3 on the receiving side to be connected or rejected is set. If there is a call from the transmitting side, the transmitting side information signal is transmitted through the exchange.
Is detected and input to the control unit 7, and the notification unit 8 notifies the calling side information by voice or text. The caller information that specifies the caller input to the controller 7 is compared with the receiver information such as the telephone number, company name, and personal name of the customer or acquaintance registered in the storage unit of the controller 7, and The communication terminal 3 to be connected is determined.

Then, the control section 7 controls the switching operation of the switching operation section 6 based on the determination. When a predetermined receiving side and a transmitting side are switched and connected by the switching operation unit 6, the communication terminal 3 on the receiving side is called. Also, at this time, if the receiving side information and the calling side information deny the connection, the switching unit 6 transmits the call back message to the calling side notifying unit 8 by voice or text, and then the switching operation unit 6 And the switching operation unit 6 disconnects the line without any message. Therefore, the user can cancel an unnecessary call or know the caller side before the call, so that the paperwork can be quickly performed.
In the case of an O signal when the calling party is out of the service area, a P signal for which display of calling party information is rejected, or a C signal indicating that the call is from a public telephone, the setting registered in the storage means of the control unit 7 Is connected to a predetermined communication terminal 3 according to
By disconnecting the line after transmitting various corresponding messages via the exchange, damages caused by incorrect or mischievous calls can be eliminated. In the preferred embodiment, telephone communication is performed, but data communication or facsimile communication may be performed. In addition,
In the preferred embodiment, the operation unit 5 and the notification unit 8 are provided in the switching unit 2. However, the operation unit 5 uses the dial operation buttons of the communication terminal 3, or the notification unit 8 is connected to the LCD of the communication terminal 3. If a display system or an audio system such as the above is used, it is not necessary to separately provide the operation unit 5 and the notification unit 8 in the switching unit 2 and the detection unit 4, the control unit 7, and the switching operation unit 6 are provided. It is only necessary to connect the communication terminal 3 such as a commercially available telephone or facsimile to the switching device 2, and the device can be made extremely inexpensive.

[0010]

According to the present invention, as apparent from the above description,
The detection unit of the switching unit that connects multiple communication terminals detects the transmission side information of the communication line, and the control unit controls the switching operation unit based on the transmission side information, and selectively connects to the reception side communication terminal. One or more communication terminals on the calling side are set, so it is possible to determine which of the communication terminals on the receiving side to connect to according to the caller, and to prevent damage from wrong or mischievous calls. In addition to receiving no facsimile, misuse faxes and mischievous faxes do not wastefully consume fax paper. Therefore, the present invention greatly contributes to the development of the industry as a communication terminal switching device that solves the conventional problems.
