JPS62242453A - Ringing tone control system - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To remove peripheral trouble due to the continuous ringing of a ringing tone by setting up the number of sending times of a ringing tone of a telephone set arranged on a position where the frequency of absence of persons is high to a small value. CONSTITUTION:If a subscriber B calls a subscriber A when the subscriber A sets up the number of sending times of a ringing tone, the ringing tone is continuously sent from a ringing tone sending device 110 until the number of sending times of the ringing tone counted by a ringing tone control device 120 reaches the number of sending times of the ringing tone stored in a ringing tone sending frequency storing device 130. When the number of sending times reaches the value stored in the device 130, the device 120 indicates the stop of the sending of the ringing tone to the device 110. Consequently, peripheral trouble due to the continuous ringing can be removed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a ring tone control system, and particularly to a ring tone control system in an automatic exchange.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in the ring tone control system of this type of automatic exchange, the number of times the ring tone is transmitted is often fixed, and even if it is variable, the number of times the ring tone is transmitted can only be changed for each automatic exchange.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In automatic exchanges with the conventional ring tone control method described above, the number of times the ring tone is sent is fixed, or
Even if it was variable, the number of rings that could be sent could only be changed for each automatic switchboard, so if the called party's telephone was not available, the ringing tone would continue to be sent out indefinitely, causing a nuisance to those around them. Ta.

[Means for solving problems]

The ring tone control method of the present invention includes means for a subscriber circuit of an automatic exchange to send a ring tone to a telephone terminal, means for accumulating the number of rings not instructed by a central control device of the automatic exchange, and the accumulating means. and means for controlling the sending of the ring tone by referring to the ring tone.

〔Example〕

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a subscriber circuit showing an embodiment of the ring tone control system of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an automatic switching system showing an example of application of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, a ring tone control device 120 in a subscriber circuit 100 includes a ring tone sending device 11 that sends out a ring tone.
0, and controls a ring tone transmission count storage device 130 that stores a ring tone transmission circuit.

Next, in FIG. 2, subscriber 200 is connected to subscriber circuit 220.
and subscriber 210 is connected to subscriber circuit 230 . The subscriber circuit 220.230 is connected via the main switch 240 to the dial counting device 250.260. The central controller 270 controls this main switch 240
and dial counting device 250, 260 and subscriber circuit 220
．． 230 (shown in FIG. 1)
is controlled.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

In FIG. 2, when the subscriber 200 sends out the "number of times the special dialer ring tone is sent", the vacant dial counting device 25O is sent to the central controller 270 via the subscriber circuit 220.
locates and instructs the main switch 240 to connect the subscriber circuit 220.
and the dial counting device 250, and then the dial counting device 250 receives the "number of times the special dialer ring tone is sent."

The central control device 270 analyzes the special number received by the dial counting device 250, and the ring tone control device 1 shown in FIG.
20 to write the number of ring tones,
The number of times the ring tone has been sent out is stored in the number of times the ring tone has been sent out storage device 130 .

Next, when the subscriber 200 sets the number of ring tones as described above, for example, the subscriber 210
When a call is made to , the ring tone sending device 11O sends out a ring tone until the number of ring tone transmissions counted by the ring tone control device 120 reaches the number of ring tone transmissions stored in the ring tone sending number storage device 130. However, when the number of ring tones stored in the ring tone transmission count storage device 130 is reached, the ring tone control device 120 instructs the ring tone sending device 110 to stop transmitting the ring tone, so that the ring tone stops.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the ring tone control method of the present invention reduces the number of times the ring tone is transmitted from a telephone set in a place where people are often away from their seats. This has the effect of eliminating the need to make a phone call, and also eliminating the need for the ringtone to ring forever when no one is around, such as at night.
