Abstract

PURPOSE:To have originating to a designated called subscriber at a designated time point by registering the number of the called subscriber and an originating time point via a telephone when a calling subscriber wants to have originating again to the called subscriber. CONSTITUTION:A user of a telephone 14a calls a telephone 14n and knows that the telephone 14n is busy. Thus the user wants to call again the telephone 14n later. In such a case, the user pushes a call-back key of the telephone 14a and then a time designation key. Then an originating time point '1000' is supplied with depressing of numeric character keys. Thus an originating designation time table set under a state shown by a figure (a) before operation is changed to a state shown by a figure (b) when the originating designation time points 20 are rearranged in the order of earlier times. When the time elapses and coincidence is obtained between the head time point 20 of the time table and the present time point, the telephone 14a of a number '301' is called.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention provides a time-specified call method for an automatic switchboard, in which, in an automatic switchboard service, it is possible to specify a call time when a caller wants to make a call again to a party who has called twice. Regarding.

(Prior Art) In a conventional automatic switchboard, as a method for automatically dialing a telephone with a pre-registered called party number,
There are storage and retransmission methods and callback methods.

The storage and retransmission method stores only the pre-registered called party number, and one call is made when the user performs a retransmission operation.

The callback method registers the number of the called party if the called party is busy when making a call, and when the called party becomes tapped, the number set for callback is called. It notifies you that the called party who was previously registered is now free, detects that you picked up the receiver of the called telephone, and automatically calls the previously registered called party. .

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the case of the above-mentioned conventional method of automatically making a call to a telephone with a pre-registered called party number, the stored and retransmitted method retransmits the stored called party number. Since the user must perform the retransmission operation at the desired time, the user often forgets that the retransmission must be performed.

In addition, with the callback method, the call is activated by detecting when the called party to whom you want to resend is in a state of emergency, so the user who has set up the callback cannot predict at all when the call will be made. Not stick. Therefore, there is a drawback that once a callback is set, it cannot be removed.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate such drawbacks, so that if the user makes a call once and the called party does not answer, all he has to do is specify the time he wants to make the call again, and then the call will be made at that time. An object of the present invention is to provide a time-specified calling system for an automatic exchange that automatically calls the user when the call is made and the user simply answers the call.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the time-designated calling method of the automatic exchange of the present invention is such that the time 20 and the called party number 21 specified by the calling party by operating the telephone 14a are Operated telephone 14
A's accommodation location information 22t-Memorizing means 12, and means tl-N for calling a designated number 21 from the telephone 14a that detected and operated the designated time 20, and 1 caller made a call once. If you wish to make a call to the other party's called party again later, please enter the called party's number 21 and the time you wish to make the call 2.
0t - By operating and registering the telephone 14a, at the designated time 20, a ring tone is sent to the operated telephone 14a, and in response to the response of the called party, the designated called party The system will be used to make calls.

(Example) Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to Figure ii].

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG.
0, memory 12, and subscriber circuit 13a-1an% communication path control device 10. It has a central controller 11 that controls the Memo Q 12. The subscriber circuits 13a-1an are connected to the extension telephones 14a-1 through respective subscriber lines.
4n is connected.

FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) show an example of a designated call time table in the memory 12 of FIG. This table shows the designated launch time of 20. It consists of the called party number 21% of the person to be called and the reception position m information 22 of the telephone stand where the time call was registered.When the 1 time designated call registration is performed and the number of information rows increases in the table, the number of the designated call time 20 is Rearrangement is performed in order of earliest time.

An example of the operation of this embodiment will be described when a callback service is used to specify a called party number and time and to make a call registration.

For example, a user of telephone 14a calls telephone 14n, but telephone 14n is busy.

If the user wishes to make a call again later, the user presses the callback key on the telephone 14a, then presses the time designation key, and then inputs the desired time ``1000'' by pressing the numeric keys.

With these operations, if the designated departure time table before the operation is in the state shown in Figure 2 (a), the designated departure time 2
By rearranging the 0's in ascending order, the state is changed to the state shown in FIG. 2(b).

When time has passed and the current time matches the designated call time 20 at the head of the 1-call designated time table, the central controller 11
detects this match and selects the first designated call time "0940".
The telephone in the storage location "LENO" that was registered (1!
Telephone 14a)' with talk number 301! ! i-Call.

When the user hears the ringing tone and lifts the handset of the telephone 148, a call is made to the first number 401'' of the called party number 21 registered in the call designated time table, and a callback is established.

Regardless of whether the callback is established or not, the information string registered in the outgoing scheduled time table after the specified outgoing time is
removed from this table. Thereafter, the same process is repeated for the information string at the head of the table.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention provides that when a user operates a telephone and registers the time and called party number that he or she wishes to make a later call,
The exchange system sends a ring tone to the telephone that performed the operation at the specified time, and if there is a response, the call is made to the designated called party, so if the call needs to be made again, the call will not be made. This has the effect of making call registration extremely easy for users to use, as it prevents them from forgetting and also allows them to leave their seats during call registration until the specified call time. .

Claims (1)

[Claims] means for storing the time and called party number specified by the calling party by operating the telephone, and information on the accommodation location of the operated telephone;
and means for detecting the designated time and making a call to the called party of the designated number from the telephone that performed the operation, and the calling party wishes to make a call again at a later date to the called party to whom the caller once made the call. In this case, by operating the telephone to register the called party's number and the time at which the call is to be made, when the specified time arrives, a ring tone is sent to the telephone that performed the operation, and the called party receives the call. A time-designated calling system for an automatic exchange, characterized in that a call is made to the specified called party in response to a caller's response.
