2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, ordinary storage program controlled exchanges have not been configured to notify the called party of the calling party's number when the called party answers.
tegrated Services Digit
al Network: comprehensive service digital network)
Only when a call was received through a private exchange, and the called party had a multifunction telephone equipped with a display or other means of display, the calling party number could be displayed.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As mentioned above, in conventional storage program-controlled exchanges, the calling party number is not notified for incoming calls. The disadvantage was that it was impossible to identify who the person was. Furthermore, even when ISDN is used, there is a drawback that it is inconvenient for visually impaired people because notifications are displayed.

[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a calling party ID notification system that can reliably notify the calling party's number to general called parties, including visually impaired called parties. be.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The calling party ID notification method of the present invention provides a voice notification device for notifying a called party of a voice message in a predetermined format including a calling party number in a storage program controlled exchange. is provided, and when the exchange processes an incoming call, identifies the calling party number, transmits the identified calling party number together with the called party's number to the voice notification device, and responds to the called party's response. At this time, the voice notification device outputs a signal for sending the voice message to the called party.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an exchange system for explaining one embodiment of the present invention. The switching system includes a communication path switch 1 that constitutes a communication path, a voice notification device 2 that is housed in the communication path switch 1 and notifies a called party of a voice message including a calling party number, and a memory that stores subscriber data. It includes a device 3 and a central control device 4 that controls these devices. The central control device 4 has a calling party number identification section 5 and a calling party number sending instruction section 6. In this example, subscriber 7 accommodated in channel switch 1 is assumed to be the calling party, and subscriber 8 is assumed to be the called party.

The operation will be explained below. First, subscriber 7
The telephone number of subscriber 8 dialed by A calling number is identified. Then, the calling party number identification unit 5 transmits the identified calling party number to the voice notification device 2 together with the number of the called party 8.

Before connecting the subscriber 8 to the subscriber 7, the central control device 4 instructs the calling party number sending instruction unit 6 to send a voice message to the called party. Sends an instruction signal. The voice notification device 2 receives this message, edits it into a voice message in a predetermined format, for example, ``Call number XX'', and sends it out via the communication path switch 1 when the called party 8 answers.

After sending this voice message, the central control device 4 disconnects the communication path between the subscriber 8 and the voice notification device 2, and
A call path switch 1 connects subscriber 8 and subscriber 7.
control.

[0011] In this embodiment, an example is shown in which the calling party is accommodated in the same switching system as the called party, but even if the calling party is accommodated in another station, the common line signaling system etc. By receiving the calling party number and identifying it with the calling party number identification section 5, the called party can be notified of the calling party number by a voice message in the same way as described above.

[0012]Also, in this embodiment, a case was shown in which calling party ID notification is executed without limiting the number of called parties, but it can be specified in advance in subscriber data that it is applied only to a specific called party. If registered, it is possible to configure the system to notify the calling party number only for incoming calls to this specific called party.

[0013]

As explained above, the present invention provides a storage program controlled exchange with a voice notification device for notifying a called party of a voice message including a calling party number, and when the exchange processes an incoming call, The system is configured to identify the calling party number, transmit the identified calling party number to the voice notification device, and, when the called party answers, instruct the voice notification device to send a voice message to the called party. Therefore, it is possible to reliably notify the calling party number to general called parties, including visually impaired called parties.
