In FIG. 1, reference numerals 1 and 2 denote extension telephones, 3
Is an exchange or a main unit, and has a central control unit 4 and a memory 5. FIG. 2 is a memory structure diagram showing individual information of the extension telephone 1 and the extension telephone 2 of the memory 5. In the figure, reference numeral 6 denotes individual information data of the extension telephone 1 and reference numeral 7 denotes individual information data of the extension telephone 2. As shown in the figure, the extension number 1 is originally assigned to the extension telephone 1 and the extension number 1 is assigned to the extension telephone 2.
2 is assigned.

FIG. 3 is an external view of the extension telephone 1 and the extension telephone 2, wherein 10 is a handset, 11 is a display, 12 is an outside line button, 13 is a setting button, 14 is a shortening button, and 15 is a shortening button.
Is a redial button, 16 is a dial button, and 17 is a one-touch dial button.

In FIG. 1, it is assumed that a person who has been using the extension telephone 2 (hereinafter referred to as a user) has moved to a location where the extension telephone 1 is located. At this time, the user presses the setting button 1 on the extension telephone 1.
When the user depresses the button 4 and further inputs the extension number 12 with the dial button 15, the central control unit 4 displays the individual information data of the extension telephones 1 and 2 of the individual information 6 and 7 in FIG. Replace it. As a result,
If "12" is dialed from another extension telephone, the call is received at the extension telephone 1 where the user is located. In addition, the user
The same one-touch dial and abbreviated dial as the extension phone 1 used conventionally can be used.

[0009] The designation of ringing of an outside line is defined as outside lines 21 and 22.
When an incoming call arrives at 2, the extension telephone 1 or 2 is to be sounded. Before the replacement of the individual data, the extension telephone 1 does not ring when there is an incoming call to the outside line 21,
The extension telephone 2 was ringing. However, after the switching, when there is an incoming call to the outside line 21, the extension telephone 1 rings and the extension telephone 2 does not ring. Therefore, it is possible to smoothly respond to an incoming call to the outside line to the user.

[0010] Further, for example, if an incoming call is made to the extension telephone 2 by DIL (direct in line) to the outside line 23, an incoming call to the outside line 23 is received by the DIL to the extension telephone 1 after switching.

Further, when the user returns to the location of the extension telephone 2 and presses the setting button on the extension telephone 2 and inputs the dial number 12, the extension telephone 2 goes to the extension number 12 and the extension telephone 1 goes to the extension number 11.

The above flowchart is shown in FIG.

The central controller 4 initializes the individual information of the extension telephones 1 and 2 (steps S1 and S2). When detecting that the setting button 13 of the extension telephone 1 has been pressed (step S3), the central control unit 4 sets the extension telephone 1
Waits for the input of the extension number from (step S4). When the extension number 12 is input, the central control unit 4 determines whether or not the extension telephone 2 corresponding to the current extension number 12 is in use. If not in use, the central control unit 4
Replaces the individual information of the extension telephones 1 and 2 registered in the memory 5 (steps S7 and S8).

On the other hand, if the extension telephone 2 is in use in step S6, the individual information is not replaced. This is to prevent individual information such as redial data of the extension telephone 2 from being changed during use.

After step S8, the extension telephone 1 can make incoming / outgoing calls based on the individual information 9 in FIG.

That is, when an incoming call is received and when the extension telephone 1,
The central control unit 4 performs incoming / outgoing call control based on the individual information 8 and 9 at the time of calling from 2.

If the setting button 13 is depressed on the extension telephone 1, the extension number 11 is depressed, and if the extension telephone 2 is not in use, the individual information is returned to the initial value (steps S9 to S9).
S12, S1, S2).

Also, when the setting button 13 is depressed on the extension telephone 2, the extension number 12 is depressed, and the extension telephone 1 is not in use, the individual information is returned to the initial value (step S1).
3 to S16, S1, S2).

As described above, by performing a specific operation and the extension number of the extension telephone 2 on the extension telephone 1, the individual information of the extension telephone 2 becomes the individual information of the extension telephone 1, and the individual information of the extension telephone 1 is obtained. Is the individual information of the extension telephone 2.

After this operation, an incoming call to the extension telephone 2 is transferred to the extension telephone 1, and an incoming call to the extension telephone 1 is transferred to the extension telephone 2. Further, when making a call, the extension telephone 1 can be used to use the speed dial and one-touch dial used for the extension telephone 2. Furthermore, even if the user does not remember the telephone number transmitted by the extension telephone 2 earlier, the extension telephone 1
You can dial the previous phone number using the redial function.

FIG. 5 shows the management of operation data for each group.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a configuration in which telephones that are not included in the group are controlled based on any of the operation data of the group. 30 is an exchange, 31 is an exchange network, 32 is a control unit, 33 is a memory, 41 and 42 are extension telephones belonging to group A, 51 and 52 are extension telephones belonging to group B, and 61 and 62 are also for group A. Extension telephones that do not belong to Group B, and 70 to 72 are external lines.

When the control unit 32 detects via the switching network 31 that there is an incoming call from the outside lines 70 to 72, the control unit 32
And call any or all of the extension telephones. The memory 33 stores data for direct inline dial-in. And memory 33
Also stores the extension number.

When the extension telephone calls, the control unit 32 detects call information from the extension telephone via the exchange unit 31.
Then, the control unit 32 sends out a dial signal (DP or PB signal) with reference to the memory 33. The memory 33 stores one-touch dial data and speed dial data. The extension telephones 41 and 42 belonging to the group A have common one-touch dial data, etc.

For example, when an instruction to set the outgoing / incoming call individual data of the group B is issued by a key operation of the extension telephone 62, the outgoing individual data and the incoming call individual data of the group B registered in the control unit 33 are received. Are copied to the registration areas of the call-out individual data and the call-in individual data of the extension telephone 62 in the memory 33 (step S25).

On the other hand, if the control section 32 determines in step S22 that the individual data of another extension telephone is to be set, the control section 32 sets the individual data of the extension telephone designated by a key operation.
For example, individual data of the extension telephone 61 can be set from the extension telephone 41.

When the control unit 32 determines via the exchange network 31 that there is an incoming call from any of the external lines 70 to 72 (step S27), the incoming individual data (dial-in data, etc.) in the memory 33 is received. ), One of the extensions is ringed (step S28). The same applies to an incoming call from an extension.

If the settings are made as described above in steps S24 and S25, the incoming call to group A is
1, 52 and 62 are sounded.

In the case of an outgoing call (step S29), if there is a one-touch dial or an abbreviated dial from the extension telephones 41, 42, 61 if the setting is made as described above, the control unit 32 stores the common table. Make a call using (Step S
30). Further, when there is a one-touch dial or abbreviated dial from the extension telephones 51, 52, 62, the control unit 32 makes a call using a table different from that for the extension telephones 41, 42.

First, the operator presses the registration button 15 of the extension telephone 2 (step S301), then inputs the current extension number 11 of the extension telephone 2 by using the dial button 16 (step S302). When the extension number 12 of the extension telephone 1 is input (step S303), if the extension telephone 1 is idle (step S304), the central control unit 4 stores the physical addresses of the extension telephones 1 and 2 and the area instruction information. The correspondence is returned to FIG. 8A (step S305). The display of FIG. 12D is displayed on the extension telephone 2 and the display of FIG. 12C is displayed on the extension telephone 1 (steps S307 and S308).

As described above, the extension telephone 1 can use the one-touch dial data, personal abbreviated dial data, etc. originally registered for itself, and the outside-line incoming call ringing designation and the service class are returned to the original. The same applies to the extension telephone 2. Although the call charge budget returns to the original state, the call charge total is added to the call charge used while the extension number was changed.

If the extension telephone 1 is not empty at step S304, the extension telephone 2 is connected to the extension telephone 2 in the same manner as described above.
As shown in 2 (e), "12 show", that is, the fact that the extension telephone 1 currently having the extension number 12 is in use is displayed for a certain period of time (steps S308 to S310).
The operation is invalidated and the display of the extension telephone 2 is returned to FIG. 12B (step S311).

Further, in step S303, extension number 1
Extension number other than 2, for example, extension number 1 of extension telephone 24

4), the contents of FIG. 12B, that is, "CHANGED11" is displayed on the extension telephone 24 (step S31).
5).

Therefore, the extension telephone 2 has the extension number 13
For example, the extension telephone 24 operates based on the data of the extension telephone 1, such as the extension number 11. At this time, the extension telephone 1 originally operates based on the data of the extension telephone 2 such as the extension number 12. Step S3
If the extension telephone 24 is not empty in step 12, the operation proceeds to step S316 and thereafter, as described above, and the operation is invalidated.

In step S303, when an extension number other than the extension number 12 is input, the extension number is invalidated to prevent confusion due to a double change.

The telephone exchange apparatus 3 of the present embodiment performs a specific operation on the extension telephone 1 when the extension telephone 24 is called from the extension telephone 1, during a telephone call or when there is no answer, for example, so that the extension telephone 3 It has a so-called message function for displaying as shown in FIG. This display may be performed when a specific operation is performed on the extension telephone 24 or may be performed when the operation is performed on the extension telephone 24.

When there is a message from the extension telephone 1 to the extension telephone 24 and the display of FIG. 18A is made on the extension telephone 24, the central control unit 4 proceeds to step S10 of FIG.
When performing the step 5, the extension telephone 1 or the extension telephone 2 searches the area of the memory 5 in FIG. If the message left by the extension telephone 1 indicates that the extension telephone 24 has the display of FIG. 18A, the central control unit 4 changes the display of the extension telephone 24 to the display of FIG. Telephone 2
If the call is transmitted from the terminal 4 to the extension 12, the other party who has left the message can be called. The same applies to the case where the extension telephone 2 requests a replacement.

That is, when the central control unit 4 changes the area designation information corresponding to a specific physical address, if it is set that the extension number corresponding to the area designation information to be changed is notified to another extension. The setting is changed so that the extension number corresponding to the changed area designation information is notified to other extensions.

On the other hand, there are various types of extension telephones such as a telephone with a display, a telephone for hands-free communication, and a telephone for incoming / outgoing calls during a power failure. These types are stored in the memory 5 when the extension telephone is connected together with the physical address.
For example, when the type of the extension telephone 2 is different from the type of the extension telephone 1 in S103 of FIG.
Alternatively, if the extension telephone 2 is a master telephone (telephone for setting system setting data) or the like, and there is a possibility that confusion will occur if the function is transferred to another extension telephone, the operation is invalidated and the effect is indicated to the extension telephone 1 May be displayed.

The data which may cause confusion when these settings are exchanged may not be changed, and other data may be exchanged.

As described above, even if there is a change of seats, the one-touch dial and personal abbreviated dial that have been used by the user can be used without moving the extension telephone, changing the wiring or resetting the data. It is possible to do.

Also, there is an effect that the same function can be used before and after the change of seats, such as designation of ringing outside line, service class, call charge information, function button assignment, and the like.

Also, if there is an extension telephone connected to the same telephone exchange as the extension telephone at the conference room in the conference room even during a short period of movement, for example, during a conference, etc., before moving to the conference room or at the conference After moving to the room, the extension telephone in the conference room can be used in the same way as the extension telephone in the user's seat, and the caller who made the call earlier can be redialed by redialing the extension telephone in the conference room. If a message function is provided to the extension telephone before moving, an incoming call comes to the extension telephone in the conference room at the destination.

Further, by operating the extension telephone in the conference room, or by returning to the user's seat and operating the extension telephone, the original state can be restored.
