Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a multifunction telephone set to use the line of another extension number and to set a message waiting lamp to another multifunction telephone set of the extension number of a line used from a busy mode, by using an equipment which identifies the setting information on the message waiting lamp. CONSTITUTION:A multifunction telephone set A is set under a calling state with another multifunction telephone set C via a line 6 and a speech path switch 3. Under such conditions, a setting switch for message waiting lamp of the telephone set A is pressed and the setting information of the setting switch is identified by a central control unit 4. The control unit 4 obtains the storing position information on a multifunction telephone set B from a memory device 7 and sets a message waiting lamp to the telephone set B by means of a lamp setting means. In such case, the setting confirmation information is displayed for a fixed time on a display panel of the telephone set A together with a calling state continued as it is. While the information on the message waiting lamp is also displayed on the display panel of the telephone set B.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention 3. Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a message waiting lamp setting method for an automatic exchange.

[Prior Art 1] Conventionally, in this type of message waiting lamp setting method, it has been common for an extension to dial a special number for message waiting lamp setting service after making a call, and then dial the extension number to be set.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional message waiting lamp setting method described above, the extension line of the multifunction telephone that lights the message waiting lamp is used by another multifunction telephone, and message waiting is performed from a busy state. There is no means to set the lamp, and there is a drawback that it is necessary to restore the system once, make a call, and dial the special number and extension number.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a method for setting a message waiting lamp from a multifunction telephone that is currently talking on the extension number of another multifunction telephone to a multifunction telephone that has the extension number of that line. .

[Means for Solving the Problems] The message waiting lamp setting method of the present invention is an identification device for identifying message waiting lamp setting information in an electronic exchange housing a multi-function telephone equipped with a plurality of line processing devices and a line corresponding to the line used. and a storage device corresponding to an extension number, and means for setting a message waiting lamp on the multifunction telephone.

[Example] Next, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 and 2 are multi-line processing units, 3 is a call path switch, 4 is a central control unit, 5 is a line corresponding to the number of multifunction telephone A, and 6 is a line corresponding to the number of multifunction telephone 11B. be. 7 is a storage device corresponding to the line to be used, and 8 is a storage device corresponding to the extension number.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a multifunction telephone used in the present invention.

Each multifunction telephone includes a handset 9, a display panel 10,
A line switch 11 that corresponds to the extension number of the local multi-function telephone, and a line switch 12 that corresponds to the extension number of the local function telephone.
, line lamps 11a and 12a corresponding to these, and a message waiting lamp setting switch 13.

Assume that multi-function telephone A is currently in a three-way conversation with multi-function telephone (extension) C using line 6 via call path switch 3. At this time, the line lamp 12a corresponding to the line switch 12 of the multifunction telephone Fjg, A is lit to indicate that it is not in use, and the display panel 10 displays the extension number of the extension C that is in use. ing. The line lamp 11 corresponding to the line switch 11 is used for Hidenzumeki B.
a is lit.

At this time, the storage device 8 corresponding to the extension number of multi-function telephone A
The communication status is shown in the storage device 7 corresponding to the line.

When the setting switch 13 of the message waiting lamp on the multifunction telephone A is pressed down from this state, the setting information is identified by the central control unit (identification device) 4, and stored in the storage device 7 corresponding to the line. The information on the accommodation location of B is obtained, and the message waiting lamp is set on the multi-function telephone B using the message waiting lamp setting means.

At this time, setting confirmation information is displayed on the display panel 10 of the multi-function telephone A for a predetermined period of time, and the call continues. Also, information on message waiting lamps is displayed on the display panel 10 of the multi-function telephone BIB.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention provides a multi-function telephone equipped with a multi-line processing device, a storage device corresponding to the lines to be used, and a storage device corresponding to the extension number, and a storage device corresponding to the extension number to be used. By having a means for setting a message waiting lamp on a multifunction telephone with an extension number, the multifunction telephone can be used to switch from a busy state using a line of another extension number to a multifunction telephone with the extension number of the currently used line. This has the effect of setting a message waiting lamp.
