Then a message registration memory 300 of a storage device 120N corresponding to a multi-function telephone set 100N1. Registered time is registered to a clock section (k) and a caller extension number is registered to an extension section (l) in the next block i+1 shown in a message registration pointer 302 of the memory 300 and the pointer 302 is incremented by 1.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a message registration system for a multifunction telephone suitable for an automatic private branch exchange.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional electronic private branch exchanges, the message registration method for multi-function telephones is such that when the calling party is calling the called party and the called party does not answer, the calling party presses the message registration button to register the message. It was common practice to turn on the lamp attached to the message registration button on the called side, and record the calling party number information, registration time, etc. on the recorder 4a device compatible with the called side's telephone.

At this time, in devices having a voice call function, a method has been developed in which a call is made by voice using a speaker on the called side.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, when the called party does not answer, the voice calling function is used to call the called party using the speaker, and if the called party still does not respond, it is impossible to register a message afterwards, making it impossible to provide flexible services. There was a drawback that it could not be done.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned shortcomings by registering a message even after the calling party makes a voice call if the calling party does not respond while the calling party is calling the called party. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a message registration method for a multi-function telephone that allows for flexible support of services.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention includes a plurality of multifunction telephones, one or more control devices each accommodating the plurality of multifunction telephones, and a central processing unit to which the control devices are connected, and the multifunction telephone has the following features: It includes a voice call button, a voice call device, a message registration button, a message registration display, and a display device that displays caller number information, and each of the plurality of control devices has a message registration time and a message registration time. A storage device for storing number information of the calling party is connected to the central processing unit, and the central processing unit detects that the voice call button is pressed via the calling party's control device, and means for connecting a voice calling device communication path between the calling party and the called party via the control device of the calling party and the control device of the called party; A first means for detecting this via the control device on the calling side, and an output control signal of the first means causes the multifunction telephone in the calling example to be detected via the control device on the calling side. a third means for operating a message registration indicator of the called party via the called party's control device; A fourth function is to store the message registration time and the calling party's number information in the called party's storage device, and to notify that the called party's message registration button has been pressed via the called party's control device. and means for detecting and displaying the calling party's number information from the called party's storage device on the called party's display device via the control device. The central processing unit detects, via the calling side control device, that the calling side message registration button is pressed after the calling party executes the calling and voice calling, and a fifth means for outputting a control signal to the third means and the fourth means; and a communication path of the voice calling device between the calling side and the called side by means of the output control signal of the fifth means. and means for cutting.

[For production]

In the present invention, when the called party does not respond while the calling party is calling the called party, the calling party can press the message registration button even after making a voice call, thereby controlling the central processing unit. Messages can be registered via the control device, allowing for flexible service support.

After the next block i+1 indicated by the message registration pointer 302 is registered in the message registration memory 300, the registration time is registered in the time field k, and the calling party's extension number is registered in the extension field l, the message registration pointer 302 is set to "+1". ” will be updated. In addition,
When block i is block n, message registration is not possible, and central processing unit 130 sends a warning sound to multifunction telephone 100z, but uses numeric digit display device 202 to display that registration is not possible.

When the called party returns from going out, etc., the called party confirms that the lamp corresponding to the message button 205 is lit, and the called party knows that a call has been received while the party was away. The called party uses a multifunction telephone 100.
When the message registration processing 1 205 is pressed from the empty state of , the central processing unit 130 detects this and displays the contents of the next block j+l indicated by the message display pointer 301 on the number digit display device 202,
The contents of the message display pointer 301 are updated by "10I". That is, each time the message registration button 205 is pressed, registered message contents are displayed one after another. The message display is cleared by the timer and the contents of the message display pointer 301 are also cleared. A message can be deleted from the message registration memory 30 by pressing the * or # button of the number digit 206 while the message is being displayed.
0, the block j indicated by the message display pointer 301 is deleted, and the contents of the message display pointer 301 and message registration pointer 302 are also changed to "-1".
” will be updated. When the contents of the message registration pointer 302 reach block O, the message registration memory 300
Since there are no more messages registered in , the lamp attached to the message registration button 205 is turned off.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention has an excellent effect of enabling a message registration service from a voice call state of a multi-function telephone. Therefore, even when the other party is absent during a voice call, message registration is performed to notify the called party that an incoming call was received while the other party was away, and this information can be confirmed, thereby providing more dynamic services for multi-function telephones. It has the advantage of contributing to
