この接続番号を送出することにより構成される。The public communication network selection method of the present invention provides a method for selecting a public communication network when making a call from a facsimile terminal housed in a private branch exchange that can be connected to a receiving terminal via at least one of a plurality of public communication networks with different call rate structures. In the selection method, a storage unit is provided that stores public communications network route information that corresponds to the selection route access number that results in the lowest call charge for each call time segment, and a predetermined special number is received after making a call. Then, the call time is calculated from the number of transmitted documents that are subsequently dialed, the selected route access number corresponding to the calculated call time is read from the public communication network route information, and the called party is subsequently dialed. It is constructed by determining a connection number from the telephone number and the read selected route access number, and transmitting this connection number from the central office trunk.

通常の接続動作を行なう。FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a program provided for the present invention among the exchange processing programs shown in FIG. Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, the operation when connecting the facsimile terminal 11 to the facsimile terminal 21 shown in FIG. 1 will be explained. First, the facsimile terminal 11 dials a predetermined special number, followed by the number of documents to be transmitted and the number of the called party. When the special number is dialed, the central processing unit 13 calculates the line usage time from the number of electronically transmitted documents that are subsequently received (
Step ■) Next, the selected route access number corresponding to this line usage time is read from the public communication network route information stored in the storage device 14 (Step ■). Next, the connection number to be sent from the curved trunk 15 is determined from the selected route/access number read and the received called party number (step ■).Next, the central office line trunk 15 is captured and obtained in step The connection number obtained is sent (step ①), and the normal connection operation is then performed.

を用いることにより選択方路アクセス番号が得られる。In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the public communication network with the cheapest call charge is determined only by the call time and is not affected by the call distance. However, if it changes depending on the call distance, the public communication network route shown in Fig. 2 may be used. Multiple sets of information are provided for each distance classification, and when making a call, the distance is first calculated from the called party's number, and in step (2) of the operation explanation above, the selected route access number is determined by using the public communication route information corresponding to this distance. can get.

ある。As explained above, according to the present invention, the facsimile sender does not need to select the cheapest access number to the public Sawatsin network every time he/she makes a call, and also has the effect of preventing human error. In addition, if the call time can be scheduled and determined for the other telephone, the same method can be used.If the selected route access number can be connected via multiple public communication networks, the caller needs to know each access number. There is also the effect that there is no such thing.
