- the non-real-time call transmission unit 101 performs a transmission-side process for realizing a non-real-time call defined by the present invention.
- a non-real-time call is defined as “a call request that is continued without being obstructed in a state in which the receiving-side user can grasp at least whether or not the calling-side user can make a call” from the viewpoint of the user.
- “call request” refers to the intention of a call, and refers to a concept corresponding to a signal such as “call” or “call request (or call request)” in a general communication system.
- the non-real-time call can be said to be a call request that is continuously performed while the calling-side user intends to call, and is a call request that does not involve a forced call.
- the forced call is a call that interrupts the work of the called party.
- a communication request without a compulsory call can be said to be a predetermined communication request that it is not necessary to respond immediately upon an incoming call.
- NRC call non-real-time call call
- NRC communication non-real-time call communication
- the call request may be continued by actually extending the link while the calling side user intends to call. Also, even if the link is not actually continued, for example, while the calling user intends to make a call, the link is continued in a pseudo manner, and a signal indicating that the call request is valid is periodically sent. It is also possible to continue the call request. Note that when a call request is continued with a pseudo link, what is expressed as “response” from the viewpoint of the user operation may be internally “transmission (return transmission)”.
- the non-real-time call transmission unit 101 transmits a non-real-time call start signal to the receiving communication device 100B in response to a user operation. Further, during a non-real-time call, a non-real-time call state notification signal is transmitted at a predetermined timing (for example, periodically and when the state changes).
- the non-real-time call start signal is a signal that is first transmitted from the calling-side communication device to the called-side communication device in order to establish a non-real-time call call, and is a signal that conveys the intention of the non-real-time call call.
- the non-real-time call start signal contains the basic information included in the general call request, such as the signal type and destination information of the called party, as well as the subject name and outline of the call, and the expiration date set manually. Etc. may be included. In this way, by notifying the call requirements in advance, it is possible to eliminate the psychological burden of the receiving user that would occur for an unknown call, and the priority of the response by the receiving user to this request. And the importance can be measured.
- the non-real-time call state notification signal is a signal that is continuously sent from the originating communication device to the terminating communication device after the non-real-time call start signal, and is based on at least a non-real-time call as the state of the originating user. This signal indicates that the intention of the call is continuing.
- the non-real-time call state notification signal is a signal notifying that the non-real-time call is ongoing in the originating communication device by the transmission.
- the non-real-time call state notification signal may include presence information on the calling side in addition to basic information. Also, depending on the situation of the receiving communication device, it may not recognize that a non-real-time call has arrived. May be included.
- the presence information is information indicating the state of the device or the user of the device (here, the calling user), and in the present invention, is information indicating a state related to whether or not a call is possible. It is assumed that what kind of information is indicated by what value as presence information is defined in advance.
- the non-real-time call transmission unit 101 may transmit a non-real-time call cancellation signal when the user performs an operation to cancel the non-real-time call.
- the non-real-time call cancel signal is a signal that informs that a previously transmitted non-real-time call is cancelled.
- non-real-time call identification information information that can be distinguished from other non-real-time call signals (hereinafter, referred to as non-real-time call identification information) is added to a signal transmitted and received for one non-real-time call.
- the method for generating non-real-time call identification information is not particularly limited.
- the non-real-time call transmission unit 101 and the non-real-time call reception unit 102 cancel the non-real-time call transmission and reception when the expiration date comes. What is necessary is just to process.
- the non-real-time call transmission unit 101 responds to a user operation, and a non-real-time call invalidation signal for informing that the non-real-time call is invalidated (temporarily withdrawn), or a non-real-time call informing that the invalidation is to be canceled.
- a process of transmitting a call invalidation release signal or the like may be performed.
- the non-real time call can be invalidated / validated by sending it as presence information to the non real time call state notification signal.
- the non-real-time call receiving unit 102 performs processing at the time of incoming and during incoming (in this example, the non-real-time call is continued or waiting for a response) among the incoming-side processing for realizing the non-real-time call. Specifically, a process of accepting a call by a non-real-time call, continuously maintaining a state related to whether or not the calling user can communicate while the non-real-time call is continued, and displaying it to the user as necessary. Do.
- the non-real-time call receiving unit 102 receives a non-real-time call start signal from the calling-side communication device 100A
- the non-real-time call receiving unit 102 accepts the non-real-time call without compulsory calling.
- the non-real-time call displays to the user that the non-real-time call has been received via the GUI, and shifts to a receiving state.
- the non-real-time call response unit 103 is also notified that an incoming call has been received.
- the non-real time call information is displayed as necessary. The incoming call is displayed using a method that does not cause the user to interrupt the current operation.
- the non-real-time call information during an incoming call can be checked only when the user (the called party) needs it.
- the minimum display means that the display is not performed beyond the range defined by the user setting.
- the range determined by the user setting includes display timing, display content, and display method.
- the non-real-time call status notification indicates that the incoming non-real-time call is a non-real-time call that is unlikely to be able to make a call due to the absence of the caller or is in such a state. It is desirable to use an expression that allows the called party to determine this in the information display of the incoming non-real-time call. For example, information indicating the state of the caller, such as absence, may be added, displayed by changing the decorative expression such as color and shape, or displayed in another list. May be. These can also be used in combination.
- the non-real-time call receiving unit 102 When the non-real-time call receiving unit 102 accepts the non-real-time call, it is desirable to notify the user that the non-real-time call has been received.
- This incoming call notification is not forcibly called during a period in which the incoming call is valid unlike a conventional telephone bell, and does not hinder the work of the incoming caller as in the case of a notification operation when an incoming mail is received.
- Examples of the notification method include sound, light such as LED, balloon display on GUI, toaster display, modeless dialog, and the like.
- the receiving communication device is a communication device that does not have a GUI
- the user may be notified by reading out the content displayed on the GUI by voice.
- dedicated content to be read may be prepared.
- the user is not notified of the incoming call by reading aloud, for example, by turning on or blinking an LED. This shall be notified by a method that does not interfere with the operation. Depending on the setting, such a notification method may be always used. It is also possible to omit notification when an incoming call is received. For example, information on a non-real-time call that is currently received may be read out only when there is a confirmation operation from the user. In this call where real time is not so important, such a notification method works well.
- the non-real-time call receiving unit 102 receives the non-real-time call status notification signal when the non-real-time call state notification signal is not received from the calling-side communication device at regular intervals, such as when the operation of the calling-side communication terminal ends. You may perform the process which cancels alcohol.
- the non-real-time call state notification signal may not be a method that is spontaneously performed by the originating communication device.
- the non-real-time call receiving unit 102 may make an inquiry to the calling-side communication device at regular intervals, and the non-real-time call transmitting unit 101 may transmit a non-real-time call state notification signal as a response.
- the non-real-time call status inquiry signal is not received at regular intervals while the non-real-time call is being continued in the calling side communication device, the non-real-time call starts assuming that the receiving-side notification device has ended. The signal may be transmitted again.
- the non-real-time call receiving unit 102 may return (transmit) a non-real-time start acceptance signal as a signal for notifying that the non-real-time call start signal has been accepted.
- the non-real-time call response unit 103 performs processing at the time of response among the incoming-side processing for realizing the non-real-time call. For example, when a response operation performed by the user selecting one from the list of incoming non-real-time calls is accepted, the telephone communication unit 104 is instructed to make a return call to the calling communication device 100A. Thus, a call is established between the telephone communication unit 104 of the originating communication device and the telephone communication unit 104 of the receiving communication device.
- the non-real-time call response unit 103 may notify the non-real-time call receiving unit 102 that a response has been made. Upon receiving the notification, the non-real-time call receiving unit 102 may delete the information of the real-time call from the incoming call list or display a response completion.
- the non-real-time call response signal is transmitted to the non-real-time call origination communication device informing that the called-side user has responded to the non-real-time call request, and the call-side communication device 100A that has received the non-real-time call response signal. It is also possible to start a telephone call by controlling outgoing calls from the non-real-time call transmission unit 101. At that time, the calling communication device 100A may confirm whether or not the user (here, the caller) may actually start a call.
- the response operation may be executed by pressing a button on the GUI, selecting a command menu, pressing a hardware key, or the like.
- the telephone communication unit 104 establishes a voice call between the calling communication device and the receiving communication device in accordance with an instruction from the non-real time call transmission unit 101 or the non-real time call response unit 103.
- the non-real-time call transmission unit 101 and the telephone communication unit 104 execute communication with, for example, a processor unit that operates in accordance with a program such as a CPU provided in the transmission-side communication device 100A and other communication devices. This is realized by a communication unit.
- the non-real-time call receiving unit 102, the non-real-time call responding unit 103, and the telephone communication unit 104 communicate with, for example, a processor unit that operates according to a program such as a CPU provided in the calling-side communication device 100A and other communication devices. This is realized by the communication unit to be executed.
