Abstract

PURPOSE:To minimize interrupt during talking as required by setting a call from a 3rd terminal into a call waiting state when the number of calls from the 3rd terminal to a 1st terminal reaches or exceeds a prescribed value while the 1st terminal is busy with a 2nd terminal. CONSTITUTION:A storage means 4 is provided, which stores the number of calls from a 3rd terminal 2k reaching a 1st terminal 2i which is busy with a 2nd terminal 2j and when the number calls stored in the storage means 4 reaches or exceeds a prescribed value, a call from the 3rd terminal 2k is set to the call waiting state. Thus, since a busy tone is listened to by a caller extension till number of calls to a called extension during talking reaches a prescribed value, the caller extension aborts a call depending on the importance and urgency of a call or repeats calling the called extension and it is highly possible to limit the interruption to the called extension during talking only to an important call.

(Example) Conventional technology Conventionally, some automatic exchange machines have been equipped with call waiting and waiting functions. The call waiting function is used when a first terminal (called extension) is currently talking with a second terminal.
When the third terminal (calling extension) receives a call, the called extension hears the call waiting tone.
Notifies you of an incoming call from the calling extension, while letting the calling extension hear the ring tone, and then, if it detects an operation such as hooking on the called extension, puts the second terminal currently in communication with the called extension on hold. This service allows a call to be made between the called extension and the calling extension.

(c) Problems to be Solved by the Invention The conventional call waiting method described above allows incoming calls to be interrupted unconditionally regardless of the importance or urgency of the incoming call. Therefore, the called extension is frequently interrupted. In this case, there was a problem that the operator of the called extension had to perform more operations, and the second terminal was often put on hold due to the call waiting process, making it difficult for the other party (the operator of the second terminal) to perform the call. There is a problem with causing discomfort.

(E) Effect According to the present invention, the calling extension hears a busy tone until the number of calls received at the called extension during a call reaches a predetermined value. , Depending on the urgency, the user may choose to abandon the call or continue calling the same called extension again. Therefore, there is a high possibility that interruptions to the called extension line during a call will be limited to important matters.

Later, inside again! When the extension number of the extension telephone 21 is dialed from the telephone 2k, the control device 3 checks the stored contents of the extension telephone 21 in the incoming call information storage area. The control device 3 stores the contents stored in the incoming call information storage area and the calling extension 2.
If they match, the extension telephone 2k plays a ring tone, the extension telephone 21 hears an interrupt tone, and the call is placed in an interrupt state. Waiting) (status!!3).

Further, when the extension number of extension telephone 21 is dialed from extension telephone 2 (not shown) in state 2, control device 3 checks the stored contents of extension telephone 21 in the incoming call information storage area. The control device 3 stores an extension telephone 21 in the incoming call information storage area.
! If not stored, a busy tone is heard on the extension telephone 2N. At this time, since the extension telephone 2k is already stored in the position corresponding to the extension telephone 21 in the incoming call information storage area, the extension telephone 2R. In addition, in the above embodiment, the incoming call information storage area for each called extension is erased after a predetermined time by using a timer provided for each called extension. The incoming call information storage area may be deleted after a predetermined period of time by using a timer provided for each calling extension, or at the time when the call with the first terminal ends or when there is an incoming call after the end of the call. You can also delete one. Thereby, information on a plurality of extensions can be stored in the incoming call information storage area. For example, in the embodiment described in FIGS. 1 to 3, the extension telephone 2k and the extension telephone 2! You can memorize not only extension K but also extension! It is also possible to set a call waiting state when the second call arrives.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, a call from a calling extension is call-waiting based on whether or not the call is stored in the incoming call information storage area, that is, whether it is the second incoming call from the same calling extension. However, it may be determined whether or not to set call waiting based on whether or not the call is received for the third time or more. In this case, how to use the incoming call information storage area may be determined as appropriate. For example, the number of incoming calls may be stored in relation to the calling extension, or if the incoming call information storage area is configured to store multiple extensions as described above, the calling extensions may be stored sequentially and the number of calls may be stored in association with the calling extension. One possibility is to count the

(G) Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above explanation, the calling extension may abandon the call or cancel the call depending on the importance and urgency of the matter.
To choose whether to ring the same extension again,
Interruptions to an extension telephone during a call are limited to important matters, and interruptions during a call are kept to a necessary minimum. Therefore,
This has the effect of reducing the number of operations required on the called extension and reducing the discomfort felt by the other party on hold.
