Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow an exchange side to reject an incoming call without individual handling of incoming call reject by called terminal equipments by allowing a called subscriber to dial a specific number to a connected exchange to make a request of incoming call rejection when the subscriber receives a troublesome phone call or facsimile. CONSTITUTION:A caller 21 sends an incoming call number of a called party 35 to an exchange 26, which uses a control section 27 to discriminate the connection to an exchange 29 in which the called party 35 is accommodated based on the called number. The control section 27 gives an instruction of connection to the exchange 29 to the exchange 26 via a relay line 28 and sends the connection information such as the called number and a caller number or the like to the exchange 29. A control section 30 of the exchange 29 verifies the received connection information and selects and calls the called party 35 when no problem is in existence in the information. When the called party replies the call, a caller 21 and the called party 35 are connected. After the called party 35 makes a call to the caller 21, the called party interrupts the communication when the called party does not need further talking. The called party 35 makes a dialing of a special telephone number accommodated in the exchange 29 before a succeeding phone call comes to be connected to an incoming call reject device 32. The control section 30 manages the telephone number of the caller subscriber 21 before connection from the caller number of the caller 35 at a management section 31 as incoming call reject data.

1, the flow to the positions of the callee side telephone network 42 and the callee 43 is shown. When the caller X44 makes a call to the callee A48, the caller X44 first sends the callee number A to the telephone network (callee side) 41. The telephone network 41 determines the called number and transfers 46 the called number and caller information to the telephone network 42. The called party telephone network 42 verifies the management information of the called party A by the called party number and the calling party information, and if the connection is possible, the called party A is called.
Call 48. The called party A48 picks up the handset and enters the communication state 49. After the communication is completed, if the called party A determines that he / she does not want to communicate in the future, he dials a special number to call the telephone network 42 (50). Telephone network 42 has internal processing 5
Start 1. Specifically, the caller number of the caller A is used to search a communication journal or the like to search the telephone network 42 of the caller A.
The sender X44 is extracted from the communication record immediately before the access to the special number, and is added to the management information of the sender A. When the addition processing is completed, the communication with the sender A is ended. Next, when the caller X again makes a call to the callee A, the callee number A is sent to the telephone network 41 as described above. The telephone network 41 judges the incoming call number and transfers 54 the incoming call number and caller information to the telephone network 42. The called party telephone network 42 verifies the management information of the called party A based on the called party number and the calling party information and detects that the called party A cannot receive the call. The switching network 42 does not allow the callee A to receive the call, but reports that the caller A cannot be connected and terminates the communication. Note that, for a caller B56 who is not registered in the callee A's rejected caller list, the caller number sending 57, transfer 58, and callee A call 59 shown in the figure are performed, and the communication 60 can be performed normally.
