Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the communication service, by integrating an individual number used for telephone service and a telephone number used for radio service, releasing the registration of a telephone terminal at a called party and calling an incoming call until the next registration by means of radio. CONSTITUTION:When a calling subscriber A, for example, dials the individual number of a called subscriber C by a telephone set 20, an information line is set between the telephone set and a PID file 60 via a telephone network 10. When a new telephone set of the subscriber C is registered on the file 60, new telephone set information of the subscriber C is read out from a memory in the file 60 and the telephone set 20 and the new telephone set of the subscriber C are connected with the telephone network 10. When the new telephone set of the subscriber C is not registered in the file 60, whether or not the radio calling with the talkie announcement is done is inquired to the subscriber A, and when the subscriber A is desired, a radio wave is radiated from a radio calling service radio base station 50 to a radio calling receiver 51 of the subscriber C, and the calling signal is transmitted.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field of the Invention The present invention provides a method for calling a called party when a telephone service such as a landline telephone, a mobile telephone such as a two-car train, a ship, an aircraft, etc. coexists with a wireless paging service. This invention relates to an integrated telephone number communication system that makes it possible to take advantage of the characteristics of each communication service and organically link them by sharing a common telephone number and determining the calling order for each communication service.

Conventional technology and problems Existing telephone services such as fixed telephones and mobile telephones for automobiles, ships, 2 trains, etc., are provided for each terminal (if multiple terminals are connected to one subscriber line, that subscriber line). When a caller wants to talk to a specific called party, the caller dials the phone number of a terminal where the called party is expected to be nearby. It became.

Therefore, if the intended called party is not near the terminal, the call is effectively invalidated.

Therefore, in addition to the terminal number mentioned above, a personal number is determined for each called party, written on a magnetic card, etc., and carried by each called person (2). Register your presence near the terminal using a magnetic card, etc.
A communication method has been proposed in which the person who dials the personal number is connected to the registered terminal (see Japanese Patent Application No. 57-47583 ``Virtual Terminal Communication Method''). number for connecting between terminals (
It has been proposed to integrate services using a common personal number for each communication method (terminal number).

By the way, during the above proposal, if a call is received to the called party while the called party is leaving a certain location and cancels the previous registration and then registers in another location, A method of connecting to a designated home or office phone was proposed.

However, when the called party moves, he or she does not necessarily move to a predetermined location, so (3) such a method has the drawback of increasing the number of calls that become essentially invalid. That is, in the communication system proposed above, there is a so-called blank period of communication service during the period from cancellation of registration to re-registration.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to improve these drawbacks, and its purpose is to make it possible to offer prompt communication services even during the period from the cancellation of registration to re-registration.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention integrates a personal number used for telephone services such as fixed telephones and car telephones with a telephone number used for a wireless paging service, and allows the called party to register from a telephone terminal. In the following, an embodiment will be described in detail, in which incoming calls that occur between the time of cancellation of the registration and the next registration can be called by wireless calling.

Embodiment of the Invention Fig. 1 is a block diagram of main parts showing an example of a communication system implementing the method of the present invention, and 1o is used to control the registration and cancellation of personal number (4) when making and receiving calls. A telephone network consisting of exchanges and transmission lines having the function of transmitting such information and connection control functions, 20 is a phone such as a telephone that can send information using 27 lines after setting the telephone line, 30 is a telephone with a personal number written on it. 40 is a mobile phone base station such as a car phone;
1 is the mobile station radio; 46 is a mobile station telephone that, together with the mobile station radio 41, realizes the same functions as the new telephone 30; 50;
51 is a radio paging receiver that also has the same functions as the PID card 31; 60 is a personal number (terminal number registered by the subscriber in pairs, cancellation status, and subscription); A subscriber file (hereinafter referred to as a PID file) that stores information on whether a person is a subscriber of a wireless paging service and other subscriber billing information, etc. A is a calling subscriber and E and C are called subscribers. be.

For example, if called subscriber B is a holder of a PID card but is not a subscriber to a wireless paging service, and called subscriber C is also a subscriber to a wireless paging service, the PID file 60 In this case, information indicating that the called subscriber C who has the radio paging receiver 51 is a radio calling subscriber is stored corresponding to the number of the called subscriber C who has the radio paging receiver 51, and such information is stored in the personal number of the called subscriber B. is not remembered. Here, the calling number assigned to the radio paging receiver 51 is determined based on the same number system as the personal number written in the PID card 61 so that each subscriber can be uniquely identified.

In FIG. 1, called subscriber B uses a new telephone 30 as PID.
If it is registered in the file 60, when the calling subscriber A dials the personal number of the called subscriber B on the telephone 20,
As seen in the proposed technology mentioned above, the telephone 20 and the PID
An information line is set up with the file 60 via the telephone network 10, and the registration for the new telephone 60 written in the memory corresponding to the personal number of the called subscriber B in the PID file 60 is read out. Based on this, the telephone network 10 sets up an information line between the telephone 20 on the calling side and the registered new telephone 60 on the called party, and connects the calling subscriber A and the called subscriber B. Further, if called subscriber B deregisters the new telephone 30 in the PID file 60 and registers the mobile station telephone 43 in its place (second, in the above example) The telephone 20 and the mobile station telephone 43 will be connected. However, the called subscriber B has registered the new telephone 20.
Alternatively, if the registration is canceled in order to leave the mobile station telephone 46 and the registration has not yet been completed elsewhere, the PID file 60 does not store the terminal to be called at all. If a call arrives during that time, the call will be lost. In the previous proposal, in order to prevent this call loss, the above-mentioned incoming call (2) could be connected to a predetermined telephone number for called subscriber B, for example, an office telephone. In this case, direct communication to called party B is not immediately possible.

On the other hand, the radio paging receiver 51 of the called subscriber C has a PI
Similar to the D card 31 (2), it has the function of registering to a new telephone 60 or mobile station telephone 46 and canceling the same (7), and it also has the function of registering to the new telephone 60 or mobile station telephone 46 and canceling the registration. It also has the function of operating as a radio paging receiver.Therefore, when the called subscriber C inserts the PID card equivalent part of the radio paging receiver 51 into the corresponding telephone, the new telephone 30 is sent to the PID file 6o. Or, when the mobile station telephone 43 is registered and the calling subscriber A dials the personal number of the called subscriber C, the procedure is the same as when the call is received to the called subscriber B. A connection is established between the telephone 20 and the new telephone 30 or the mobile station telephone 43. Also, the called subscriber C uses the radio paging receiver 5.
When the calling subscriber A dials the personal number of the called subscriber C on the telephone 20 while the registration is being canceled by removing the corresponding part of the PID card 1 from the telephone. In this case, the calling subscriber A is asked whether or not to make a wireless call using a talkie announcement or the like, and if the calling subscriber wishes to do so, he/she dials the terminal number of the telephone 2o that he or she is using. By waiting for the reception tone and performing operations such as placing the hook, the radio call held by the called subscriber C (8) is transmitted to the radio base station 5 for radio paging service to the originating receiver 51
Radio waves are emitted from 0, and a calling signal is sent out. That is,
PID file 60. When the telephone network 10 receives a call to the called subscriber C, if the called subscriber C is currently registered with the new telephone 60 or the mobile station telephone 43, the telephone network 10 performs a connection operation to the new telephone 60 or the mobile station telephone 43. , if the registration is being canceled, implementation of the wireless paging service is started.

Possible subsequent procedures and actions that can be taken by the called subscriber C who received the call are as follows. That is, the called subscriber C uses the PID card equivalent part of the radio paging receiver 51 if the nearest telephone is the new telephone 30 or the mobile station telephone 43, or uses the PID card equivalent part of the radio paging receiver 51 if the nearest telephone is the new telephone 30 or the mobile station telephone 43. When you send out your personal number using a smartphone dial or the like and also send out a signal indicating that you received a wireless call, the PID file 60 is
The terminal number of the telephone set 2o used by the calling subscriber A who called the subscriber is read from the memory corresponding to the personal number of the called subscriber, and a line is established between them (9).

Note that if the telephone used by calling subscriber A is, for example, the new telephone 30 or the mobile station telephone 43, these devices have a function to automatically send the terminal number to the PID file, so that calling subscriber A You don't have to dial it yourself.

Detailed Description of the Invention As described in detail, the present invention provides a personal telephone number commonly used for various telephone services such as fixed telephones and automobile telephones, in addition to telephone numbers corresponding to terminals (subscriber lines) such as fixed telephones and automobile telephones. A number is assigned to a subscriber, and a PID file is created that stores information on which terminal the subscriber is registered with and whether he/she is a wireless paging service subscriber corresponding to this personal number, and the called party When a call is received, if the called party is registered with one of the telephone terminals, a telephone line is established between the calling and receiving terminals based on this information, and if the called party is not registered, a wireless paging service is started. From the perspective of the called subscriber, it will be possible to know with certainty whether or not there are calls to the subscriber during the period from cancellation of registration to re-registration, and for the calling subscriber, it will reduce unnecessary calls. There are advantages to being able to do so. Additionally, information such as whether the person is a subscriber to a wireless paging service is stored in correspondence with a unique personal number, so from the perspective of the calling subscriber, it is clear that the other party is a subscriber to the wireless paging service. You can contact someone by simply dialing their personal number without knowing whether or not they are a person. In other words, in the invention proposed earlier, if the desired party is not available at the office where the call is received, if the person knows that the person is a subscriber to the radio paging service, the person can apply for the radio paging service (17). Contact is possible, but in this case it is necessary to know that the other party is a subscriber to a radio paging service and to know the calling number. According to the present invention C2, there is no such need. In this way, a telephone service that can immediately receive calls even in Himi will be realized.
