Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve office work efficiency at a workshop etc., by receiving the transmission of a receiver identification signal allocated to a specific person in a telephone set on an opposite side, in addition to an ordinary call signal, at the telephone set on a reception side, and generating identifiable acoustic tone in stead of ordinary call tone by an acoustic tone generating device classified by every receiver. CONSTITUTION:Preliminarily, a receiver number, for example 1, 2, 3, ..., etc., is attached on each of plural receivers at every telephone set 3, and identifiable different acoustic tone generated by an acoustic tone generating device (d) classified by every receiver is allocated to each receiver. A transmitter, in case of desiring to call with an opposite having, for example, a number of '1', depresses an ordinary pressing button 4, and following that, depresses the pressing button of a receiver number '1'. A receiver identification signal receiver (c) receives the identification signal of '1', and thereby, the acoustic tone generating device (d) classified by every transmitter generates the acoustic tone corresponding to a receiver 1. Therefore, it is possible to recognize the call that it is placed on the receiver '1' out of the plural receivers, and the receiver '1' can respond without hesitating.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention is applicable to a single receiver installed for a plurality of recipients.
The present invention relates to a telephone system in which a different recipient is generated for each recipient selected by a caller in a telephone set.

[Conventional technology]

Although the quality and volume of the received sound of a telephone may vary slightly depending on the model or due to adjustment, for each telephone, the quality and volume of the received sound are always constant after adjustment.

As far as the inventor is aware, there is no conventional telephone system in which a single telephone set intended for a plurality of recipients generates a different reception tone for each recipient selected by the caller.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Whenever a telephone rings that is intended for multiple recipients, all recipients are simultaneously distracted by the call, wondering if it is for them.

As a result, office efficiency is hindered at work, and at home, there may be fights over who should pick up the phone first.

Moreover, even if it is a call from someone you do not want to accept or a salesman you do not want to welcome, or even if it is a duress call, you have to pick up the phone indiscriminately, and you may regret it after you pick up the phone.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the problems as described above, the present invention generates a different reception tone for each specific person among a plurality of recipients targeted by a telephone according to the intention of the caller. The purpose is to provide a telephone system that allows

More specifically, the present invention enables communication between telephones with an identification function that are equipped with a receiver identification signal generating device, a signal receiving device, and a recipient-specific sound generating device. In addition to the ringing signal, when a recipient identification signal assigned to a specific person among multiple recipients on the other party's phone is transmitted, the recipient's phone receives this and assigns an audio signal for each recipient. The present invention is characterized in that the generating device generates an identifiable sound assigned to the specified person instead of a normal ring tone.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(1) is a conventional outside line exchange, and a conventional telephone RI
(2) and a large number of identification function telephones (3) manufactured according to the present invention are connected. However, in the figure, two of each of the above-mentioned types of telephones (2) and (3) are shown.

The identification telephone (3) is provided with a digital numeric display window (5) for displaying the recipient, in addition to the conventional conventional call pushbutton (4).

The negative part of the calling pushbutton (4) also serves as a pushbutton for generating a recipient identification signal. This will be discussed in detail later.

The push button for generating the recipient identification signal is connected to the call push button (
4) may be provided separately.

Inside the @Seiki with identification function (3), the following devices are provided as main items.

Each of these devices themselves is self-evident to those skilled in the art in light of their functions, and can be configured in various ways, so specific illustrations and descriptions of their configurations will be omitted.

(a) Outside line automatic reception device Same as the conventional one.

(b) Receiver identification signal generation device As a push button for generating a receiver identification signal, when the required one of the call push buttons (4) or a dedicated push button for generating a receiver identification signal is pressed, the corresponding button is pressed. A device that generates and transmits a recipient identification signal.

(c) Recipient identification signal transmitting device A device that receives only the sent recipient identification signal.

(d) Receiver-specific sound generating device A device that generates different distinguishable sounds for each specific identification signal received by the receiver identification signal receiving device (c). This sound may be of different quality or volume, or may consist of different intermittent sounds.

(e) for a period of time before or immediately after the normal ringing when the telephone receives a signal from the storage device outside line;
A device that waits to see if a recipient identification signal is subsequently sent. In addition, if you press the required numeric push button for a normal call and then press the numeric push button for recipient identification, it will be memorized and after the line is connected to the other party. , a device that sends a recipient identification signal to the other party.

(f) If the switching device does not send a receiver identification signal, or if a certain period of time has passed after receiving a signal from an outside line, it is determined that the receiver identification signal has not been sent and the normal A device that has a habituating ring tone.

(g) Digital signal generator A device that displays the number on the number display window (5) of the telephone (3) of the own and the other party when a push button with the required number is pressed in order to send a recipient identification signal. .

These devices (a) to (g) are connected to a computer device (not shown) in association with each other, and are processed each time to perform the required functions described below.

Next, the effect will be explained.

It is assumed that a telephone call is made between the identification function telephones (3) and (3).

To each of the plurality of recipients for each telephone (3), in advance,
For example, add a recipient number such as 1.2.3...
In addition, distinguishable different sounds produced by the receiving-specific sound generator (d) are assigned to each receiver.

For example, when a receiver wants to talk to a party having the number "1", the receiver presses the normal calling pushbutton (4) and then immediately after the other party's receiver rings, Press the push button for recipient number "1".

Then, the identification signal "1" generated by the recipient identification signal generating device (b) reaches the telephone set of the other party (3) immediately after receiving it.

The recipient identification signal receiving device (c) receives the identification signal "1", and thereby the sound generating device (d) for each transmitter,
A sound corresponding to recipient "1" is generated.

Therefore, it is immediately clear that the call is to the receiver "1-" among the plurality of receivers, and the receiver "1" can respond without hesitation.

In addition, at this time, the number display window (5) of both type precision instruments (3) (3)
The number "1" is displayed. This is especially convenient for the sender, as he can confirm the recipient.

If the sender does not add a recipient identification signal,
The recipient's phone will ring normally.

When sending using a conventional telephone (2), the memory device (e) allows the recipient's identification telephone (3) to normally emits a ring tone.

The push button in the embodiment is an example of a calling operation body, and it goes without saying that the dial can be used instead of the scale.

Furthermore, since this telephone system is implemented only between parties who are familiar with the identification numbers in advance, the telephone with screening function (3) is used to distinguish between conventional telephones (2) and It is not pear-shaped with a recipient number.

Instead of the numeric display window (5) for confirming the recipient, it may be displayed using letters, symbols, lamps, or the like.
