Description

Automatic act ivation and deactivation method for additional telephone service}

The present invention relates to a method for automatically activating and deactivating a wired telephone supplementary service for detecting whether a communication terminal is attached or detached to a charger to drive a designated communication service such as a call forwarding service.

With the development of the information and telecommunications society, landline telephones have become the basic means of communication. Also, in recent years, the development and dissemination of communication terminals that can be carried by individuals has become more active, enabling communication including voice telephones regardless of place and time.

The active dissemination of such communication terminals will lead to a situation in which a user has several communication terminals in the future. In other words, the situation of having a mobile phone at home and at work and having a mobile phone at the same time has already become commonplace among the holders of communication terminals, and IMT-2000 and wireless PDA terminals will be popularized soon. .

Therefore, when a user has a wired telephone and a plurality of communication terminals, there is a need for a technology capable of connecting to a communication terminal that can be received when a communication request comes to a specific communication terminal. In particular, when a call comes to a landline telephone which is not provided with mobility, a technology for automatically switching to a communication terminal that can be received by the user is required first.

As a conventional technology supporting this requirement, network operators providing basic voice calls provide special additional services. Currently, an additional service supported by an exchange in a general telephone station is 'unconditional call forwarding service'. When you subscribe to this service, when you receive a call to your phone, you can transfer the call unconditionally to another communication terminal. PBXs offer a variety of services considering more cases. In other words, the call transfer service is a service that transfers a call to another phone only when the user's phone is busy, and the call is not answered when the user's phone is not answered for a certain time (15 seconds). 'Transfer Service', and 'Automatic Transfer Service', which transfers calls to other phones (up to town area only).

However, the problem with these telephone services currently offered to landline telephone users at exchanges (including private exchanges) is that users must enter a series of numbers to activate or deactivate the service on their landline telephones even after the user subscribes to a particular service. You have to act.

For example, if you subscribe to an "unconditional call forwarding service" that allows you to receive a call from a service subscriber on another phone, you must include a series of numbers consisting of the number specified on the phone you subscribed to and the phone number you want to receive. For example: *, 88, communication terminal number, *) must be entered to activate the service and transfer the call to the desired communication terminal. In addition, if you want to answer the call on the landline again, you must enter a series of numbers (eg #, 88, *) to deactivate the service so that you can receive the call from the landline phone that has been restored.

'*, 87, communication terminal number, *' must be entered to activate 'call transfer service during call' and '#, 87, *' must be entered for deactivation. '*, 84, communication terminal number, *' should be inputted to activate 'non-response call transfer service' and '#, 84, *' should be input for deactivation.

Therefore, if a user subscribes to an additional service but fails to use the desired service effectively and does not receive important calls or even unexpected business loss due to the constraint that the user must input manually by hand to activate or deactivate such service. Will occur frequently.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems of the prior art, when the user has a communication terminal when the telephone comes to the landline telephone subscribed to the additional service automatically connected to the corresponding communication terminal according to the situation of the user Or to release it.

Therefore, in the present invention, if the user only subscribes to the additional service, a separate additional action, that is, activation or deactivation of the service is not performed through manual input (regardless of whether the user uses a telephone or a specific button). The additional service is automatically activated and connected to the corresponding communication terminal by simply taking a seat with another communication terminal at the place where the user is located. On the contrary, when the wired telephone is installed, the method can be automatically deactivated.
