A method of requesting subscriber privileges in a commonly controlled home telephone system.

The invention relates to a method for requesting subscriber privileges in a jointly controlled in-house telephone system with a speech coupling network and with the exchange of switching data, addresses and control commands transferred for the connection set-up over the speech coupling network between parts arranged for different tasks. control devices and changeable data memories, with the information exchange enabling line bundles for information transfer, with working and program memories and with state memories for recording the switching measures possible in each connection state, so that different forwarding operations can be carried out with an appropriate marking .

A jointly controlled home telephone system to which the method according to the invention relates is already known from German "Auslegeschrift" 26.47.404.

Furthermore, it has already been proposed to provide connection state memories, from which certain commands for function sections in the program memory are derived in accordance with the current connection state.

20 Furthermore, it has already been proposed to introduce certain subscriber services in connection with a dialing process.

The object of the invention is to enable a subscriber service, which consists in that, in a jointly controlled home telephone system, a specific power can be selected in rapid succession from any subscriber station by persons authorized for this purpose, for any number of subscriber stations of the system. are wondered.

This is achieved in that a memory line 30 is permanently added to each subscriber station in a particular memory block in the changeable data memory and that a specific memory location is added to each authorization type in the same place in each of these memory lines, so that a column for a specific authorization arises, whereby furthermore a specific column for a specific authority type can be addressed on the basis of a special connection state registered in the state memory with a first selected characteristic of the memory block and with a subsequent second characteristic, and wherein the next choice of arbitrary many subscriber numbers by dial tone 800 4 1 12 2 or busy tone the presence or absence of the relevant authorization for the subscriber station corresponding to the selected subscriber number is indicated.

This gives the advantage that, for example, the maintenance and test staff or liaison staff can easily request a specific type of authorization for the individual subscriber stations of the home telephone system from any subscriber station in quick succession.

The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing.

The drawing shows a memory block SB of data memory, a common controller ZST and a state memory ZSP. The memory locations in the memory block SB are arranged in lines Z1 to Zx added to a subscriber station and columns Spl to Spy added each time to an authorization type.

Details of a jointly controlled home telephone system underlying the method according to the invention can be derived from German "Auslegeschrift" 26.47.404. In such a home telephone system, it is particularly advantageous for existing telephonist stations for the liaison staff and generally for maintenance staff to determine or investigate to which subscriber stations a specific power is assigned in a simple and time-consuming manner. For this, it is necessary that the authorization data of the individual subscriber stations in their assignment to their addresses be recorded in a fixed predetermined area of a data memory, ie in a memory block provided for this purpose. This memory block is usually advantageous in principle and should also be able to be addressed and queried continuously during normal connection establishment by the common controller.

In an advantageous manner for the method according to the invention a memory location line is each time added to a subscriber station in this memory block. For example, the line Z1 in the drawing except the address of the station contains all the powers of the subscriber station Tnl. As authorizations are indicated in the relevant drawing i HA “half net authorization, A net authorization, FA = interlocal authorization, K conference authorization, U = call diversion, AUF = switch-on authorization. The individual authorizations are thereby added to the memory locations in a memory line such that the resulting columns Spl through Spy of the memory block SB are each time 800 4 1 12 3 added to a specific authority.

If the maintenance personnel now wants to test, for example, whether the subscriber stations Tnl, Tn3 and Tnx have a network authorization, a predefined prefix 5 can be selected for this from any subscriber station. This code initiates the working process "authorization test" and gives a suitable status characteristic in a state memory for the connection process. This state characteristic, after scanning by the common controller ZST, "upshifts or establishes the memory block SB", which is communicated to the testing subscriber by an at-10 without a tone or simply by the dial tone. Now, the testing subscriber dials a second code that corresponds to the authorization type to be tested, after which the testing subscriber can successively dial the subscriber numbers of the subscriber stations Tnl, Tn3 and Tnx Each time at the end of a subscriber number, he is given a dialing sign if the network accession is present and for a missing network authorization During this period of time, the state memory "SB seized for network authorization testing" is entered in the state memory ZSP, which requests the common controller upon entry of each new subscriber number For querying another authorization type - for example, the conference request. plight - should only be an an dialing code corresponding to this authorization. In principle it is assumed that these key figures are only known for a limited circle of persons.

From the foregoing it can be seen that, using the method according to the invention, it is possible in a simple manner to query the powers of individual subscriber stations in quick succession and without additional means in a jointly controlled home telephone system from any subscriber station by dialing the dialing code.

Method for requesting subscriber privileges in a jointly controlled in-house telephone system with a speech path coupling network and with the exchange of switching technical data, addresses and control commands transmitted for the connection construction via the speech path coupling network between sub-controllers arranged for different tasks and changeable data memories, with the information exchange enabling line bundles for information transfer, with working and program memories and with state memories 10 for registering the switching measures possible in each connection state, whereby different connection processes can be carried out with a suitable marking, characterized in that in a particular memory block (SB) a fixed memory line (Z1 to Zx) is added to each subscriber station (Tnl to Tnx) in the changeable data memory and this is assigned to each authorization in the same place in each memory line (Zl to Zx). A specific memory location has been added so that a column (Spl to Spy) for a specific authorization is created, wherein, furthermore, on the basis of a connection state registered in the state memory (ZSP) with a first selected characteristic, the memory block (SB) and with a subsequent second attribute, a specific column (Spl to Spy) can be addressed for a specific authorization type (HA, A, FA, K, U, AUF) and where the number of subscriber numbers is subsequently selected by dialing tone or busy tone the presence or absence of the relevant authorization for the subscriber station (Tnl to Tnx) corresponding to the selected subscriber number is indicated. 800 4112
