Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain automatic transfer even if a station to be transferred is sequentially changed, by presetting plural stations to be transmitted in each time and transferring a call on the basis of the preset information. CONSTITUTION:When a call is outputted from a terminating telephone line 11, a termination detector 15 detects the call and informs it to a control part 14. The control part 14 sends the contents of a temporary memory 5 which can rewrite the stations to be transferred in accordance with time to a dial signal transmitter 17 and also sends a dial signal to an originating telephone circuit 12. On the other hand, a message is outputted from a temporary memory 7 and transmitted to the originating side through an alteration switch 16. Consequently, the station to be transferred or the like can be informed to the originator. After dialing, the alteration switch 16 starts switching under control of the control part 14 and the terminating telephone line 11 is connected with the originating telephone line 12, completing the transfer.

2.

First, the presetting of the transfer destination will be explained.

When the registration start button 1a of the operation button 1 is pressed, the registration procedure≠(is read out from the first memory 4 and displayed on the first display section 2.The operator presses the information input numeric keypad 3 according to the procedure.
, and enter the transfer start date and time, transfer end date and time, and transfer destination number manually. The human power information is displayed on the display section 2, the transfer start and end dates and times are stored in the first memo +141, and the transfer destination number is stored in the temporary memory 5. Check the accuracy of the input information on the display unit 2 and press the record button ylb-3.
When pressed, the contents of the temporary memory 5 are written to the second memory 6. Further, while the record button 1b is pressed, the recording function of the temporary+1-memory 7 is activated, and a message can be recorded from the microphone 8. Then, when the record button lb is released, the message recorded in the temporary memory 71 is transferred and recorded in the voice information memory 9. The above operation completes the presetting for one transfer destination, and then the second transfer destination is preset by the same operation. The third destination can be preset along with the date and time. The number of transfer destinations that can be registered is determined by the capacity of Memo I+ 4, 6, 9, etc. Note that the manual information can be corrected by pressing the delete button /IC, and by pressing the display button /1d, each recorded content can be displayed on the display unit 2 or monitored using the speaker 10.

Next, the transfer of one incoming call will be explained - First, the control unit 1
4 compares the current date and time output by the clock 13 with the transfer start and end dates and times recorded in the first memory 4, and if there is a corresponding one, transfers the corresponding transfer destination number from the second memory 6 to the temporary memory. i5<
. If there is an incoming call from the incoming telephone line 11 in this state, the incoming call detector 15 detects this and notifies the control unit 14. The control unit 14 sends the contents of the tenbola 11-memory 5 to the dial signal sender 17, the dial signal sender 17 sends out a dial signal, and the dial signal is sent through the outgoing telephone line 12 through the changeover switch 16. . Meanwhile, during this time, a message is sent from the tele/volatile memory 7 and sent to the sender via the changeover switch 16;!
-0 The sender can know the forwarding destination etc. from the message. And when the dial is finished,
Under the control of the control unit 14, the changeover switch 16 performs a switching operation to connect the first incoming telephone line 11 and the outgoing telephone line 12, thus completing the four transfer operations. The above-described operation is extremely convenient because an incoming call can be transferred to a specified destination during a specified time period. Note that in this embodiment, it is possible to record the message in the voice information memo IJ9, so it is possible to inform the caller of the forwarding destination etc. in advance to eliminate anxiety. It is not an essential requirement for the invention. Furthermore, one device can easily provide a transfer service by simply connecting the device to two telephone lines without requiring any changes to the existing telephone network.

As described above, in one aspect of the present invention, a plurality of forwarding destinations are preset with time, and an incoming call is configured to be forwarded based on the preset information.
This has the effect of automatically forwarding calls even if the destination changes from time to time.Additionally, if the destination is notified via message, the caller can avoid unnecessary forwarding. It is also possible to stop outgoing calls.
