Abstract

Telephone numbers and names are stored and retrieved for automatic redialling. This new software system with a GUI (graphic user interface) running on windows operating systems detects a substitutively next available receiving subscriber in turn within predefined time (stand-by time) and informs the caller of the fact with a message in voice or text. Subsequent actuation of that caller then results in automatic redialling of the telephone number associated with the subscriber. If the called (redialled) subscriber press a predefined button (for instance # or *), this new system completes a connection to the identified(called) destination (subscriber). This system saves office workers form cling to lots of phone calls.

Description

Auto Redialing & Call-Receivable Person Notifying Device

[Description] Technological Field

The contrivance- Auto Redialing & Call-Receivable

Person Notifying Device - is based on the network of telephone and computer by a special program which either runs on software or hardware. This work is closely related to the 'Switch Network' and the 'Packet Network' communication field.

Background Art

Up to now, when a recipient was not in a place, the caller had to leave a message in the 'voice p.o box' or call up later. The main functions of this invention- auto redialing and call-receivable person notifying- is to amend those inconveniences. They are based on the technology modifying phone functions with hardwares and softwares. The software program of the system is called 'DOURI', which is on the developmental stage.

In order to grasp the whole mechanism of this system, the knowledge of the signal controls of the phone and networking (Switch Network and Packet Network) is needed.

In the process, the signal controls are the key to the detection of the call-receivable person.

Disclosure of Invention^

To operate the functions, the program 'DOURI' which is being developed presently is used.

In former methods, due to the message system, no one could know whether the receiver had checked the message on the phone. To check up, the caller had to call up again. The purpose of this system is to overcome the limit of telephones which only can transmit messages.

In the system, the number of recipients is not a hardship. The system informs the caller who can receive a call at the moment. As a result, the caller can concentrate on other works instead of clinging to the phone and waste time.

In order to fulfill the task, the technological problem on detection and informing of the call-receivable person should be solved. The signals produced when the receiver presses a phone button is the main tool in the process. If any other signals are given, it is regarded as improper, and the system calls another person on the list. The informing of the receivable person can be practiced in two means. One is by a voice which the caller recorded before the call. The other is by the screen which shows names with an alarming sound.

Hereafter, the detection technology should advance in a way to apply voices. Brief Description of Drawings

Figure 1/2 presents the overall execution of the system. Figure 2/2 shows the algorithm of the system. Best Model for Carrying Out the Invention

The special program 'DOURI' is needed to operate the system. φ Set up the stand-by time for auto-redialing. - If not done, the initial value will be set. (D Input the telephone numbers of the receivers. (D Input the names of the receivers.

- If the name is called or showed, the caller could easily identify the receiver. - The caller can input the names in voice or in letters.

It's optional. ® Repeat the step ( >~(D for another number.

- Stand-by time is fixed in the process, so no alteration is needed. © Start the Auto-Redialing System. . References φ Stand-by time for redialing, telephone numbers, and names can be added, deleted, or modified at any stage. After the auto-redialing, the signal stops and the message is dispatched. The message is for the receiver to press an appointed button for connection.

(E) If the names are recorded in a voice, the caller will hear the recorded voice when connected with the receiver. If they are inserted in letters, the screen will show the names with an alarming sound.

® If the call is done, the number will be deleted from the list. Industrial Applicability-

The system would be of great use in companies such as financial firms where lots of calls are made. Individuals would also make good use of the system. The efficacy of the device can be categorized in three parts. First, the system can save time on calling. It dials for itself and connect the caller and the receiver.

Second, the caller can go on with other, works while the device is on calling. The caller needs not put aside works for calls.

Third, the users can easily access to the system because they are used to operating computers, especially in

'Graphic User Interface (GUI)' environment. Since the program 'DOURI' is run on the Windows, the users will be able to put the data in through the Windows.

Fourth, the system reduces the uneasiness of the callers. When they have a lot of calls to make and have much work to do at the same time, making calls could be a burden. So, if they use this system, they can maximize the efficiency of the work.

Claims

[Claims]

1. On the operation of the system utilizing software

'DOURI' based on 'Switch network' and 'Packet network',

The caller sets up the stand-by time with 'DOURI' in step 1 of figure 2, and puts in the telephone number in step 2 of figure 2.

In step 3 of figure 2, the caller inputs the name in voice or in letter.

For more numbers, the caller repeats step 2 and 3 of figure 2. Through the procedures given above, the system detects the call-receivable person and informs the caller.

2. In Claim 1, the detection and notifying of the call-receivable person are achieved right after the signals cease, A message is announced to the receiver and the receiver presses an appointed button in the next step,

Then, the system detects the signals from the phone button,

And when the signals are proved appropriate, the system informs the caller with a message in voice or letter.

In operating the system, the notifying function works through the first three input steps,

And the detecting system dials the next number on the list if the signals are not from the appointed button.
