[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a method for changing the housing position of a terminal housed in a switchboard, and in particular, it automatically identifies the telephone number and subscriber information previously assigned to a connecting terminal connected to a housing terminal of a switchboard, and automatically changes the housing position of a terminal housed in a switchboard. Regarding the method of changing.

Companies and business establishments frequently move between floors or relocate due to personnel changes or organizational changes, whether regularly or irregularly. In many cases, it follows the movement of people.

In this case, by moving the terminal together with the individual and connecting it to the exchange connection terminal at the destination (depending on the terminal, power-on operation may also be required), the terminal will be automatically located at the exchange's accommodation location without changing the telephone number and subscriber information. It is desired to change only the

[Conventional technology]

In the past, when changing, adding, or removing a telephone number corresponding to the telephone terminal accommodation location of a private branch exchange, it was assumed that the telephone terminal itself would not be moved, but only the user would be moved. Control data such as the telephone number of the private branch exchange was directly changed from the relay console, dedicated telephone, etc. using commands, the relay console's specific keys, special numbers, etc.

In some cases, it was also necessary to reconfigure information stored in the internal memory of the terminal, such as one-touch dialing, on the terminal after the move.

An object of the present invention is to provide a system for changing the housing position of a terminal housed in an exchange, which can automatically identify a terminal connected to an exchange and change the housing position.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, the above maintenance is expensive and requires manual operation by a maintainer or someone similar.
Furthermore, there are problems such as not being able to change the phone number in synchronization with the movement.

In addition, telephone terminals in recent years have become multifunctional, and the function buttons are used uniquely for each terminal, such as selecting and assigning a speed dial destination or any service from a large number of services. In many cases, dial destinations are stored in memory, and terminals themselves are becoming privately owned, with labels attached to each function button. Therefore, it is desirable to move the telephone terminal together with the individual.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and can be used as an accommodation terminal by simply plugging it into a connecting terminal of an exchange. 10 is an exchange, 2
0. ~20. is a terminal. Terminal 20°~20. Each has a storage unit 21 that stores an identification code unique to the terminal, and a transmitter/receiver unit 22 that notifies the exchange IO of terminal information including the identification code in accordance with a request from the exchange 10.

The exchange 10 also has a rewritable database 11 that stores telephone numbers, terminal numbers, and subscriber information in association with identification codes, and a terminal 20 . ~20° is connection terminal 12
．． ~12. A test is performed to confirm whether or not the terminal is connected to the terminal, and when it is connected, the terminal is requested to notify the terminal information including the identification code, and when it is not connected, the information on the unconnected terminal number in the database 11 is sent. Terminal connection confirmation means 13 for displaying non-connected information, and database 1 for displaying terminal information when receiving terminal information.
It has a rewriting means 14 for rewriting the corresponding terminal number part of No. 1 into receiving terminal information.

[Effect]

Terminal 20. ~20. In order to achieve a mass production effect, it is possible to easily store the terminal activation identification code in the storage unit 21 even if the products have the same specifications. The terminal information including this identification code is stored in the database II in the exchange 10 corresponding to the terminal number, and is stored in the terminal connection confirmation means 13.
The information is updated or changed periodically or based on a test to confirm whether or not the terminal is connected to the terminal, which is performed when the terminal is connected.

Therefore, in the present invention, it is possible to automatically set in the database 11 which terminal among the terminals 121 to 12 is connected to a terminal having what kind of telephone number and subscriber information.

Although the data is preset as a standard value at the time of shipment, it can be changed using commands, etc. However, terminal number E
N is the identification code (I
D) is configured on the PBX.

On the other hand, 25 is a telephone terminal corresponding to the terminal 20, which has a built-in dial key (built-in switch) or a read-only terminal.
An open identification code (ID) assigned to the terminal at the time of shipment is stored in memory (ROM) or random access memory (RAM), and the PB
It also includes a transmitting/receiving section that notifies requests from the X main body 15. Furthermore, the telephone terminal 25 has normal telephone functions, button functions, and display functions.

When the telephone terminal 25 is plugged into the terminal of the PBX main body 15, it is supplied with power from the PBX main body 15, starts setup, and notifies the PBX main body 15 of its ID in response to a communication request from the main body exchange side. PBX body 15 is telephone terminal 2
Terminal number E in the database 16 of the ID received from 5
Change N to the setup detection terminal number ENi. This allows you to use the old phone number DN to create a new connection terminal number E.
You will be able to receive calls to N. Database (rDcLs
)16 is the reception ID, which includes the telephone number (DN) and terminal number (
EN), subscriber information (CLS) is indexed.

As a result, according to this embodiment, by simply plugging the terminal of the telephone terminal 25 into the connection terminal of the PBX main body 15, the data storage position (E
N) is automatically set, and the accommodation position can be automatically changed.

Next, specific operations when changing the housing positions of the two telephone terminals will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of the operation when changing the accommodation position of an embodiment of the present invention, in which (A) is before the change, (B) is when the terminal is removed, and (C) is the operation when the housing position is changed.
2 shows a configuration diagram after the change, and in each figure, the same components as those in FIG.

3 (A) to (C), the PBX body 15 contains data [In addition to the DCLS database 16, a terminal number EN is set corresponding to the DN, and the corresponding terminal is determined from the received number (received telephone number). A database 17 of data DNEN for directly changing the accommodation position EN of the terminal is provided, and is set by the ID notified from the terminal.

Before the change, as shown in FIG. 3(A), the terminal 18
．． (terminal number EN,) is connected to the telephone terminal, and
Terminal 18. Telephone terminal B is connected to (terminal number EN,), and telephone number DN of telephone terminal A is 111. The identification code ID is a, the phone number DN of phone terminal B is 222,
It is assumed that the identification code ID is b.

At this time, the part indexed by ID=a of the database 16 has DN=111. The information of EN=EN,, CLS=2 is stored, and the part indexed by rD=b has DN=
222. Information of EN=EN, CLS=3 is stored. On the other hand, the part indexed by D N = 111 of the database 17 stores the terminal number of EN, and the part indexed by D N = 222 stores the terminal number of ENh.

In this state, connect telephone terminals A and B to terminals 181 and 18, respectively.
! It is assumed that it has been pulled out and removed. Here, PBX
For example, the main body 15 periodically performs a connection confirmation test to determine whether or not the telephone terminal is connected by detecting whether there is a response from the telephone terminal via the connection terminals IL and 18*. , the removal of the above-mentioned telephone terminals A and B can be detected by this connection confirmation test.

When the PBX main body 15 detects the removal of the telephone terminals A and B, the PBX main body 15 updates the database 16 as shown in FIG. 3(B).
The terminal numbers EN of the parts indexed by ID=a and ID=b are respectively rewritten to "0", and the database 1
The values of the terminal numbers EN in the indexed portions of DN=111°222 of 7 are respectively rewritten (cleared) to “O”. As a result, calls made to telephone numbers "111" or "222" after execution of this rewriting process are treated as incorrect calls.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3(C), connect the telephone terminal to the connection terminal 18. , and telephone terminal B is connected to the connection terminal 18°. Here, the PBX main body 15 continues the above-mentioned connection confirmation test even after the terminal is removed. That is, as shown in the sequence diagram of FIG.
transmits a signal (TST) requesting a response from the telephone terminal in order for a connection confirmation test from all the connection terminals, and determines that no telephone terminal is connected to the connection terminal that does not receive a response. After that, if there is a response signal ACK from the connection terminal that was determined to be not connected to the telephone terminal, it is determined that the telephone terminal is connected (implemented), and based on this, the PBX
The main unit 15 sends terminal information (ID, etc.) to the telephone terminal.
Make a notification request (REQ).

In response to this notification request, the telephone terminal sequentially sends its own terminal information to the PBX body 5, as shown by INFO-INFl in FIG. After that, the PBX main unit 15 sends a connection terminal information reception completion response AC to the telephone terminal.
Send K.

According to the above sequence, as shown in FIG. 3(C), the connection terminal 18! is connected between the telephone terminal A and the PBX main body 15!
(EN = EN-), communication such as transfer of terminal information and completion of reception is performed, and thereby the database 16
The terminal number EN in the part where the ID is indexed by a is rewritten to EN, and the telephone number DN in the database 17 is
The terminal number EN of the part indexed with "111" is also EN,
can be rewritten as Similarly, upon reception of terminal information from telephone terminal B, PBX body 15 updates database 16.
Each predetermined portion of 17 is rewritten to a terminal number EN.

The above rewriting (accommodation position change) is for telephone terminal A.

This is automatically done by connecting terminal B to the accommodation terminals 18s and 18L, and subsequent calls to telephone number "111'" will be made to the same telephone terminal A as before the change.

A call received to the call number "222" is also called to telephone terminal B in the same manner.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments; for example, the connection confirmation test can be performed when a telephone terminal is connected to the connection terminal, and the communication path is not limited to a wired one, but can be wireless or optical. Of course, it is also possible to make the ID match the dial number, and other modifications of the terminal information and communication protocol can be considered.

〔Effect of the invention〕
