Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease the load of a central control unit by sharing a means to send display data to the display means of a multi-functional telephone set with a managing processor and a data sending means. CONSTITUTION:When a transmission is executed from an extension 4 of a guest room to a multi-functional telephone set 8, the central control unit 2 sends the telephone number of both parties to the managing processor 12. The managing processor 12 receives the guest room information such as a guest room number, a nationality and the data of arrival from an information processor 9 based on these data. The information is accumulated to the transfer data accumulating part of a data sending circuit 11. The data sending circuit 11 converts and sends the information to a suitable transfer form, and the guest room information is displayed through a time division switch 5 to the visual display part of the multi-function telephone set 8.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention 3. Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a control means for a multifunction telephone included in an automatic telephone exchange system. The invention is suitable for implementation in hotel telephones.

〔overview〕

The present invention, in a telephone exchange that accommodates a multi-function telephone equipped with a display means, reduces the load on the central control unit of the exchange by having a management processor and a data sending means share the means for sending display data to the display means. This is so that it can be reduced.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, the visual display of multifunction telephones has been directly controlled by the central controller of the automatic telephone exchange.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In conventional multi-function telephones, all display controls are directly controlled by the central control unit, so this is not a problem when only a small amount of information is displayed, but when a large amount of value-added information is displayed, this is not a problem. When providing sophisticated and high-quality services, the load on the central control unit becomes high, which has the disadvantage that other processing by the central control unit becomes slow or becomes impossible.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to eliminate these drawbacks and provides a switch for a multi-function telephone that can handle a large amount of display information without adversely affecting other processes of the telephone switch.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention is directed to an exchange for a multi-function telephone, which houses a telephone including a telephone (8) equipped with a display means, and is equipped with an information processing means (9) for storing data to be displayed on the display means in a call destination area. , a reading means for reading data corresponding to a call destination placed on the telephone equipped with the display means from the information processing means, and detecting termination of an exchange connection between the telephone equipped with the display means and the call destination. a management processor (12) including a detection means for detecting the data, a storage means for temporarily storing the data read by the reading means, and converting the stored data into data having a transmission speed suitable for the display means. The present invention is characterized by comprising a converting means and a data sending means (11) including a sending means for sending the output of the converting means to the display means in response to an exchange connection completion detection notification from the detecting means.

[For production]

The extension number of the multifunction telephone is sent to the management processor. The management processor transfers the display information from the information processing device to the storage means of the data sending means. When the exchange connection is completed, display information is sent from the data sending circuit to the display means in the set format at a transfer rate that matches the reception speed of the display means.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block configuration diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. A main storage device 1 shown in this figure, a central control device 2 that reads the stored contents of the main storage device 1 and performs predetermined sequence control, and a subscriber circuit 3 that accommodates an extension telephone 4.
The configuration including the time division switch 5 that connects the communication path devices and the communication path control device 6 that controls the communication path devices based on instructions from the central control device 2 is a general telephone exchange. The exchange function and operation are similar to the conventional device.

Next, the operation of the embodiment used in the hotel exchange system will be explained.

When a call is made from an extension telephone 4 in a guest room to a multifunction telephone 8 used for service or business purposes, the central control unit 2 performs normal call processing and also sends a message to the management processor 12 related to the multifunction telephone 8 regarding the caller. the extension number and the called party's feature phone number. When the management processor 12 receives these data, it receives the cabin number, name, nationality, arrival/departure date and time, VIP display, group name, presence or absence of a message from the information processing device 9 via the information processing device interface circuit 10, and the information processing device 9. Receives guest room information such as message contents. Subsequently, the management processor 12 stores the guest room information in the transfer data storage section of the data transmission circuit 11 to the multifunction telephone 8 without being aware of the data transfer method with the multifunction telephone 8, and starts data transmission. and complete the series of processing. On the other hand, when the data sending circuit 11 receives the data sending start, the data sending circuit 11 transfers the A-
Convert it with Dowaresic and convert it into a multi-function phone 8 (11
! time division switch 5 at a transfer rate that matches the reception rate of l.
Various guest room information is displayed on the visible display section of the multi-function telephone 8 via.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention minimizes the load on the central control unit and lightens the load on the management processor.
A large amount of value-added information is displayed on the visual display of the multi-function telephone via a time-sharing switch inside the exchange, allowing the multi-function telephone operator to easily access it without affecting other processing performed by the central control unit or management processor. has the effect of being able to quickly handle various value-added services.
