Abstract

PURPOSE:To confirm whether a party subscriber is present or absence through simple subscriber's operation without waiting for the answer of the party subscriber telephone set, by reading a memory means for the confirmation. CONSTITUTION:Once an extension subscriber 1A when leaving the seats dials a predetermined absence registration number, the dial signal is received by an originating register 4 and a central controller 7 writes absence registration information on the registered subscriber 1A in a storage device 8. When another extension subscriber 1N confirms whether said extension subscriber 1A is present or absent, the extension subscriber 1N dials the confirmation special number of the subscriber 1N and the telephone number of the party subscriber 1A. Consequently, the originating register 4 receives the dial signals and sents them to the central controller 7 through a channel controller 6. The central controller 7 reads the absence information on the subscriber 1A out of the storage device 8 and sends out a talkie tone from talkie devices 5A and 5B to the subscriber 1N through a line circuit 2N.

However, this method requires the other party or his/her surroundings to be burdened with the effort of responding to the above-mentioned arrangement, so it would be extremely useful if the other party's presence or absence could be confirmed without requiring a response from the other party. It's convenient.

しオフフックすると。When an extension subscriber issues registration information regarding his/her presence/absence status, there are two cases: a first case in which the subscriber dials a predetermined registration special number t, and a second case in which the subscriber operates a registration button attached to the telephone. In the first case, the registered subscriber IA goes off-hook when leaving his/her seat.

A is connected to the transmission register 4 via the line circuit 2A and path 2, and hears the transmission tone. Next, when the registered subscriber IA dials the special number t for registering an absent seat, the call register 4 receives the dial signal. On the other hand, the communication path control device 6 scans the calling register and the line circuit to obtain the dial signal of the sending register 4 and the accommodation position information on the communication path switch 3 of the two line circuits. The central controller 7 determines from these signals and information that it is the absent seat registration information of the registered subscriber IA.
The absent seat registration information is identified and written in the address corresponding to the registered subscriber IA in the storage interposer 8. The registered subscriber IA dials the special number for registering absent seats and then goes on-hook. However, in this case, registered subscribers have to dial the special number every time they leave their seats, which is a hassle.
The second case is achieved with a simple operation.

後の動作は上記第１の場合のものと同様である。In the second case, when the registered subscriber IA presses the absent seat registration button r after onohook, the device 6 on the 1st call path side scans the plurality of line circuits 2A to 2N2 and registers the absent seats of the two line circuits. information? It is detected and transmitted to the central control clamping device 7. The subsequent operations are similar to those in the first case.

It will be carried out accordingly. In other words, the presence registration information issued by the registered subscriber IAK by dialing a special number for presence registration or pressing the presence registration button (re-operating the absentee registration button)
(Absent seat registration cancellation information) r Similarly identified or detected, the central control 11 Minato station 7 rewrites the registration information of the address corresponding to the registered subscriber IA in the storage facility 8 (change from absent seat to present registration)? conduct.

御挟置７に伝えるので。Next, the confirmation special number predetermined by the confirmation subscriber IN, followed by the telephone number of the other party subscriber (registered subscriber) IA? When dialing, the calling register 4 receives the dialing signal and sends this? This is communicated to the central control device 7 through the communication path suppression device 6.

That is, the call is not a general incoming call to the other party. In response to this, the central control unit 7 continues to input the registration information of the address corresponding to the other party's IA in the storage device 8.

The central control device instructs the 11 channel control 11 device 6 to set the path ■ or ■. According to the instruction, the communication path control device 6 causes the talkie device 5A or 5B to send a talkie to the confirmation 13 user IN via the path (1) or (2) and the work line circuit 2Nk, respectively, so that the confirmation The subscriber IN can confirm the presence/absence of the other subscriber IA.

。This example does not limit the invention. That is,
It is assumed that two talkie devices are provided, but they are merged, and the paths in the communication path switch to the talkie devices are also merged to create a present/absent talkie? Even if there is a way to switch and transmit within the talkie device, is there a special trunk instead of the talkie device? The system may also be designed to send out a special sound to identify those who are present or absent. Furthermore, in this implementation sequence, there are multiple extensions jJI for one person, so in the case of a private telephone exchange? I showed it.
