Method and system for providing a service of destination transition in multiple circuit communication systems

The present invention relates to a call forwarding service system and method, and more particularly, one subscriber registers a plurality of line numbers used by a subscriber in a mobile communication system using multiple lines in a server, and a subscriber inputs a specific code. By setting the converged number to which the incoming call can be transferred to a plurality of lines, the incoming call can be safely transferred to the concentrated number even when there are incoming calls on multiple lines, thereby preventing a certain number of incoming call transfers from being discarded during the incoming call transfer process. The present invention relates to a call forwarding service system and method.

Initially, mobile communication services were limited to voice call services. However, there are various communication services currently provided due to the popularization of the Internet, the development of mobile technologies, and the provision of various additional services.

In addition, although a service called call forwarding existed in the past, the existing call forwarding service is only limited to a function of transferring a call to a number of a preset called terminal in a voice call.

On the other hand, a mobile terminal typically registers a location with a base station and performs call forwarding according to information set in a home location register (HLR). Call forwarding means that when a call is made to a user of a mobile terminal subscribed to a call forwarding service, the call is forwarded to another predetermined number. The call forwarding process is as follows.

When a subscriber registered with a mobile communication subscriber or a service of another network attempts to call a subscriber to which a call forwarding service is set, the MSC first checks whether information of the HLR is subscribed to the call forwarding service.

If the call forwarding service is not subscribed to, the location information is checked by checking the power on / off. If a call forwarding service is subscribed, when a call is received, the call forwarding number is read and provided to the mobile switching center (MSC). The MSC then receives a signal indicating whether or not to set the call forwarding mode of the call forwarding service and the call forwarding number and controls the user to dial the corresponding number to forward the call to another number.
