JPS6342560A - Incoming refusal canceling system - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a nonresponse state for an incoming call from being continued more than needed, by receiving a bit of incoming refusal canceling time information, storing the bit of time information in a memory device, counting a current time, and canceling incoming refusal to a telephone set when coincidence between the bit of incoming refusal canceling time information, and a counted current time, can be obtained. CONSTITUTION:A central processing unit CPU4 writes an inputted canceling time in an incoming refusal control information memory area 6 in a memory device MEM5 corresponding to a subscriber 1. A memory area 7 corresponds to a subscriber 2. The central processing unit 4 scans an S bit representing an incoming refusal setting state in the memory device 5 corresponding to each subscriber in a constant cycle, and compares a bit of current time information from a time counting device TM3, with the bit of canceling time information read out from the memory device 5, when the S bit is set at '1' or, the incoming refusal is set. When the above values coincide, the central processing unit 4 performs the initialization of the memory area 6 as the canceling processing of the incoming refusal. In this way, it is possible to cancel automatically the incoming refusal requested by the subscriber 1 at a canceling time.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for canceling call rejection in an automatic telephone exchange.

[Prior Art J] Conventionally, when an automatic telephone exchange wants to reject an incoming call, by operating a specific phase of the telephone, incoming call rejection is set and all incoming calls to this telephone are rejected. In addition, by re-operating the above-mentioned specific phase, the incoming call rejection is canceled, allowing normal incoming calls. This allows you to reject incoming calls if necessary, such as during an important meeting.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) When rejecting incoming calls and canceling the rejection in this way, if the subscriber forgets to cancel the rejection, the incoming calls will continue to be rejected more than necessary. Even if your phone is ready to answer, you may be unable to make a call and miss an important call.

[Means for solving problems]

The incoming call rejection cancellation method of the present invention includes means for receiving an incoming call rejection request from a telephone housed in an automatic telephone exchange to this telephone and receiving incoming call rejection cancellation time information;
a storage means for storing the i-th call rejection release time information corresponding to the telephone; a counting means for counting the current time; and means for canceling the rejection of incoming calls to the telephone when the times match.

(Embodiment) Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.9 Referring to a diagram showing an embodiment of the incoming call rejection canceling method of the present invention, the subscriber accommodated in the call path switch 10 1 and 2 are multi-function telephones.When subscriber 1 requests call rejection, he presses the call rejection setting function key and inputs the cancellation time by keypad operation.For example, call rejection until 9:10 a.m. If you wish to do so, enter "'9#10#" by operating the keypad, and then press the function key for incoming call rejection setting again.If no cancellation time is entered, the incoming call rejection will be canceled at midnight. The central processing unit <CPtJ) 4 writes the input cancellation time into the incoming call rejection control information storage area 6 corresponding to subscriber 1 of the storage device (MEM> 5).The storage area 7 corresponds to subscriber 2. Storage areas 6 and 7 each contain an S bit 8 indicating the setting status of incoming call rejection and release time information 9.
I remember that. If the content of S bit 8 is 0°, it indicates that there is no incoming call rejection setting, and if it is "1', it indicates that incoming call rejection setting is present. Therefore, as mentioned above, subscriber 1
9: If you set call rejection up to 10, storage area 6
S bit 8 is 1, and release time information 9 is “AM
9210''.The central processing unit 4 periodically records S indicating the incoming call rejection setting status corresponding to each subscriber in the storage device 5.
If the bit is scanned and the S bit is “1”, that is, if incoming call rejection is set, the time counter (TM>3
The current time information from the storage device 5 is compared with the release time information read from the storage device 5. If these values match, the central processing unit 4 initializes the storage area 6 as a process for canceling the incoming call rejection. Thereby, the incoming call rejection requested by the subscriber 31 can be automatically canceled at the cancellation time.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, by requesting incoming call rejection from a telephone in an automatic telephone exchange and setting a release time, even if the user forgets that he or she has set incoming call rejection, Since incoming call rejection is automatically canceled, it is possible to prevent incoming calls from being unresponsive for longer than necessary.
