Description

Apparatus and method for providing multi user service using call ID box}

The present invention relates to a user service using a call ID box, and in particular, using a call ID box using a call ID box to make it suitable for use by multiple people with one phone number in a call reception mode. The present invention relates to a multi-user service providing apparatus and a method thereof.

In general, the Caller ID or Call ID is the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT) V.23 between the first and second rings or before the first ring when a call is received from outside. Alternatively, it refers to an identifier used to identify a caller's name, phone number, and time of call by interpreting data that satisfies the BELL202 standard.

1 is a block diagram of a user service providing apparatus using a conventional call ID box.

Here, reference numerals 11 and 12 are user terminals, 20 is a call ID box, and 30 is a network that is an exchange of telephone stations.

Thus, in the conventional telephone dialing scheme, meaningful information (Telephone Number) is transmitted when the call is transmitted from the service users to the call control protocol. Then, only the caller's phone number is displayed in the call ID box 20 on the receiving side. And when the receiving phone hooks off, the call is handled and the call is made.

As shown in FIG. 2, when a setup request is sent from the terminal 11 of the user 1 to the network 30 by a hook off, the setup response information of the setup 11 is transmitted from the network 30. Sending (ST11) ST12 to press the dial; When the user 11's terminal 11 presses a dial to send information INFO to the network 30, the network 30 processes it to send setup information to the user 12's terminal 12 and sends the setup information to the user's terminal 12. Sending the call processing information to the terminal 11 of step 1 (ST13 to ST15); Notifying the user 12's terminal 11 of the ringing signal to the user's terminal 11 as ringback tone (ST16); When the terminal 12 of the user 2 is hooked off, steps ST18 to ST20 may be performed by connecting to the terminal 11 of the user 1 through the network 30.

So, if the telephone user wants to talk to another telephone user, the phone is hooked off and then dials the receiver's telephone number. This information is then connected to the receiver's phone using call processing signaling services.

At this time, the receiving side displays the telephone number of the calling party through the call ID box 20.

And the receiver takes a call when the phone hooks off each other.

However, this conventional technology is designed to implement a call procedure (call processing) with only one phone number when the telephone user wants to talk with another telephone user. There was a problem to secure a telephone line by applying for a telephone number.

As such, in the related art, if you want to call your own phone, you have to apply for a separate phone number.

First, the present invention is intended to be used by several people with one phone number in a call reception mode using a call ID box.

Thus, the call ID box 20 is used as a SOHO router. The SOHO (small office / home office) router is used only for data communication, and according to the present invention, the call ID box 20 is also applied as a data passing and interface device.

In addition, the call processing mode supported by call control processing is used to input information of members using a single phone number, and after the call connects from the phone itself with the information of the input members, the caller Finds and connects to the intended recipients, allowing a single phone number to be used by multiple people as if they were used alone.

Accordingly, it is possible to create additional services at the call control block layer, protect personal privacy, and improve the efficiency of phone use.

Therefore, in order for the present invention to operate, a procedure for collecting a user number in the call control signaling unit 21 is additionally required.

The call control signaling unit 21 that receives the complete user number address (Address) that the caller wants to talk to handles the call connection between the caller and the receiver.

Since most of the information coming from the network 30 through the call ID box 20 is transmitted only complete number information, there is no problem when proceeding with call setup.

In the conventional telephone, as shown in Fig. 2, when a caller presses a telephone number that he or she wants to talk to, the call processing routine in the telephone is negotiated with the receiving telephone through the network 30, which is a telephone exchange. After the connection was made it was possible to talk to each other.

On the other hand, in the present invention, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, when a caller presses a telephone number that he / she wants to call after hooking off, the call processing related routine in the telephone is received through the network 30, which is the telephone of the telephone station. The connection is established through negotiation with the ID box 20.

Then, a message is sent to the calling party asking the user who wants to talk among the users registered in the call ID box 20.

When the response (RESPONSE) is sent from the caller side, the call ID box 20 establishes a connection between the caller and the receiver, thereby making a call.

As such, the present invention uses multiple callers with a single phone number in a call reception mode using a call ID box.

Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention may use various changes, modifications, and equivalents.
