Abstract

PURPOSE:To feed a telephone operator a telephone number and a function fed to a telephone set itself by using a detachable and portable storage medium stored with telephone number, classes, etc., and storing its contents in a storage device. CONSTITUTION:When a magnetic card 1 is inserted into an input device 2A, TEL1 becomes usable and the input device 2A reads the contents of the card 1. The storage device 4 is stored with the read information. The information stored in the device 4 is the telephone number corresponding to the equipment number of an interface 3A, class information, abbreviated dial number registered on the card 1, etc. The telephone operator after inseting the card 1 lifts the handset of the TEL1 to originate. Further, when the telephone number of the card 1 is received from another internal or external line, an exchange 5 reads the equipment number of the interface 3A corresponding to the telephone number and connects the incoming call to the interface 3A.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an electronically controlled private telephone and data exchange system.

In conventional telephone and data switching equipment, a fixed telephone number is assigned to each terminal that houses a telephone or data terminal, and the switching equipment makes a call by exchanging the terminal corresponding to the dialed telephone number. It was connected to the line. In addition, special functions such as abbreviated dialing and long-distance calling restrictions provided to individual telephones were assigned to corresponding terminals of the switching equipment in which the telephone was accommodated.

Therefore, there were the following drawbacks.

1) If the telephone operator's position was temporarily changed, it was necessary to set up special functions such as call forwarding.

2) If the phone operator's phone number changes semi-permanently due to a change of seat, etc., the system data maintenance person had to change it.

3) When a telephone operator temporarily went to another department and made a call, he could not receive services such as the abbreviated dialing function that he had registered on his own telephone.

4) When the filling machine operator receives functions such as paging, it is necessary to dial a verification number, etc. when responding.

The object of the present invention is to store a telephone operator's unique telephone number, abbreviated dial number, call restriction class, etc. in a removable and portable storage medium (e.g. magnetic card), and to carry this storage medium as necessary. , by attaching it to a telephone, etc., and having the exchange device read the information, this solves the above drawbacks and allows the telephone operator to use or enjoy services from any telephone or data terminal as if it were his or her own telephone or data terminal. We provide a private telephone and data exchange system that allows for

In order to achieve the above object, a local telephone using a removable storage medium according to the present invention and a data exchange method include a removable and portable storage medium storing data such as a unique telephone number, abbreviated dialing, and call restriction class. , a telephone or data terminal having an input device for reading the contents of the storage medium, a storage device for temporarily storing the storage information read by the input device, and using the data of this storage device,
When the storage medium is attached to the input device, the private branch exchange device connects the telephone or data terminal to the telephone or data terminal with the telephone number stored in the storage medium. It is configured to perform exchange control as a data terminal.

According to the above configuration, the object of the present invention can be completely achieved.

Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a private telephone and data exchange system according to the present invention. Magnetic card 1' as a removable and portable storage medium? I am using it.

Input devices 2A and 2B for reading information stored in the magnetic card 1 are connected to the telephones Tl3L1.2 housed in the private branch exchange device 5, respectively. Each telephone THLt,
2 and the private branch exchange device 5 are interfaces 3A, 3
B intervenes and b. The storage device 4 has an interface 3A.

Information read from the input devices 2A and 2B is temporarily stored via the input device #t.
5 performs the exchange operation. Reference numeral 7 indicates a sender that sends dial pulses to the outside, and a trunk that interfaces with a 6-digit outside line (office line).

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

The telephone set 2 is configured to become operational when the magnetic card 1 is inserted into the input devices 2A, 2B corresponding to the telephone set. When the magnetic card 1 is inserted into the two input devices, the telephone TBL1 becomes usable, and the two input devices read the contents from the magnetic card 1.

At the time of scanning, the storage device 4 stores the read information via the interface 3A. The information stored in the storage device ai4 includes telephone numbers corresponding to the device numbers of the three interface users, class information, abbreviated dial numbers registered on the magnetic cards, etc., and at this point, the exchange device 5 can use these information. state.

The telephone operator who has inserted the magnetic card can pick up the handset of the telephone and make a call using a known method. When the telephone number of the magnetic card 1 is received from another extension or outside line, the switching device 5 reads the equipment number of the interface 3A corresponding to this telephone number from the storage device 4, and connects the incoming call to the interface 3A.

When the operator of the telephone with the magnetic card inserted makes a call from the telephone meter and dials the pre-registered abbreviated dial number, the exchange device 5 identifies the abbreviated dial number,
The called party number corresponding to the abbreviated dial number is read from the storage device 4 and sent to the sender 7.

Along with this operation, switching device 5 connects interface 3A, trunk 6 and sender 7 by a known method, and sender 7 sends the called party number via trunk 6 to the outside line.

When the telephone operator finishes using the telephone and removes the magnetic card 1 from the input device 2, the storage device 4 knows that the magnetic card has been removed during the next scan, and corresponds to the device number of the 3 interface users. Erase the memory of doing so. This input device 2
The operation of the telephone TBL1 to which a person is connected is the same as that of the telephone installation 2, and when the telephone operator inserts the magnetic card 1 into the input device 2B, the same operation as described above occurs in the storage device 4.
The phone number, class, etc. of the magnetic card 1 are stored in the memory corresponding to the device number of the interface 3B of the magnetic card 14.

A data terminal also operates in the same manner as described above by directly replacing the telephone TFiL shown in FIG.

Next, a case will be described in which the exchange device 5 receives a telephone number registered on a magnetic card and makes a paging connection to a telephone operator. When the switching device 5 reads the equipment number corresponding to the above-mentioned telephone number from the storage device 4, when it learns that the telephone number is not stored, it connects the incoming call to the paging trunk 8 and prompts for paging. vinegar. The paged telephone operator inserts a magnetic card into the input device of the nearest telephone, and when the information is read into the storage device 4, the switching device 5 recognizes that the paged telephone operator's magnetic card has been inserted. Know and connect the incoming call to the nine interface corresponding to the phone number and complete the paging connection.

As explained in detail above, the present invention uses a removable, portable storage medium that stores phone numbers, classes, etc., and stores the contents in the storage device, thereby making it possible to use the phone number that was previously given to the phone itself. , functionality is provided to the telephone operator.
