Description

  The present invention relates to a communication system, an information relay device used therefor, an information providing device, and a program, and more particularly to a communication method that supports telephone call processing via a telephone transfer device.

  FIG. 15 shows an example of a conventional system for performing telephone call processing via a telephone transfer device. Referring to the figure, the conventional system includes a telephone transfer device 800, a plurality of telephone terminals 200, and a telephone network 60 that connects the telephone transfer device 800 and the telephone terminals 200. The telephone transfer device 800 is a device connected to the telephone network, and has a function of transferring a telephone call based on a predetermined procedure when a telephone call is received from the telephone terminal 200.

The telephone call processing via the telephone transfer device 800 in the conventional system will be described. First, a user of a certain telephone terminal 200 designates the telephone number of the telephone transfer device 800 to the telephone terminal 200 and makes a call to the telephone transfer device 800. Next , when the telephone transfer device 800 responds to the incoming call from this one telephone terminal 200, it plays a voice guidance requesting the designation of the transfer destination telephone number and waits for the input of the transfer destination telephone number from this telephone terminal. . The user of this one telephone terminal 200 operates this telephone terminal and inputs information on the transfer destination telephone number. As an input method in this case, for example, there is a method of inputting a transfer destination telephone number with a numeric keypad.

  Then, the telephone transfer device 800 transfers the telephone to the transfer destination telephone number designated from this one telephone terminal 200. Here, transfer refers to establishing a telephone connection between the calling telephone terminal 200 and the telephone terminal 200 corresponding to the transfer destination telephone number, and responding to the transfer destination telephone number from the calling telephone terminal 200. The state is equivalent to that when a call is made to the telephone terminal 200.

  Through the above series of processing, the user can make a call to any telephone terminal via the telephone transfer device 800. For example, the service provider assigns a telephone number for incoming call charge to the telephone transfer device 800 using the system structure, and provides the telephone transfer device 800 to provide a service that can make a call to an arbitrary number with incoming charge. It is possible to provide.

In addition, there exists a technique of patent documents 1-3 about telephone transfer.

  However, in the above processing, the user designates two telephone numbers, that is, the telephone number of the telephone transfer device 400 and the telephone number of the target telephone terminal in order to make a call to the target telephone terminal. There is a need. For this reason, there is a disadvantage that the processing for specifying a telephone number becomes more complicated than when a call is made directly to a target telephone terminal.

  According to the present invention, there is an effect that a user can easily execute a telephone call process via a telephone transfer device.

  Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. The system according to the present embodiment includes an information relay apparatus 100, a plurality of telephone terminals 200, an information acquisition apparatus 210, a telephone transfer apparatus 300, an information providing apparatus 400, an information acquisition apparatus 210, and an information relay apparatus 100. The network 50 is connected, and the telephone network 60 is connected to the telephone terminal 200 and the telephone transfer device 300. An example of the network 50 is the Internet.

  It is assumed that the user of the information acquisition device 210 also has the telephone terminal 200. The information acquisition device 210 has a function of acquiring information from the information providing device 400 via the network 50. The information providing apparatus 400 has a function of transmitting information to the information acquisition apparatus 210 via the information relay apparatus 100 and the network 50. The telephone terminal 200 has a function of performing telephone communication with other telephone terminals 200 and the telephone transfer device 300 via the telephone network 60. The telephone transfer device 300 has a function of transferring a call received from the telephone terminal 200 to another telephone terminal 200.

  The information relay apparatus 100 relays information provided from the information providing apparatus 400 to the information acquisition apparatus 210, and also updates the transfer settings of the telephone transfer apparatus 300 by converting the content of the relayed information as necessary. And have. It is assumed that the telephone transfer device 300 has information regarding the execution method of the telephone transfer process inside. FIG. 2 shows an example of this information.

  In the example of FIG. 2, the correspondence between the telephone number of the telephone terminal 200 that made the call to the telephone transfer device 300 and the telephone number of the telephone terminal 200 that is the transfer destination of the telephone is managed. ing. For example, the line “09011112222: 0355556666” indicates that when the telephone transfer device 300 receives a call from the telephone terminal 200 having the telephone number “09011112222”, the call is transferred to the telephone number “0355556666”. It means "do".

  The telephone transfer device 300 executes a telephone transfer process based on this information when a call is received. When the telephone transfer device 300 cannot determine the telephone transfer destination based on the internal information, the telephone transfer apparatus 300 requests the telephone terminal 200 of the caller to input the telephone transfer destination. The transfer destination of the telephone may be determined based on the designation of the telephone number from the telephone terminal 200. In addition, the telephone transfer device 300 has an interface for setting / changing information related to the execution method of the telephone transfer process from the outside.

  The transfer setting unit 120 of the information relay apparatus 100 is connected to the telephone transfer apparatus 300 via the above interface. In FIG. 1, the transfer setting unit 120 and the telephone transfer device 300 are directly connected, but both may be connected via the network 50.

  The information relay apparatus 100 relays information transmitted from the information providing apparatus 400 to the information acquisition apparatus 210, and also converts information and a telephone transfer setting change instruction as necessary. Based on an instruction from the unit 110, a transfer setting unit 120 that updates the transfer setting of the telephone transfer device 300 and a memory unit 130 for storing information are included.

  The memory unit 130 stores information regarding the correspondence between the identifier of the information acquisition device 210 and the telephone number associated with the information acquisition device. Here, the telephone number associated with the information acquisition apparatus 210 indicates, for example, the telephone number of the telephone terminal 200 possessed by the user of the information acquisition apparatus 210. The memory unit 130 also stores information on the telephone number of the telephone transfer device 300.

  Next, the operation of this system will be described in detail. In this system, the user can acquire a telephone number via the information acquisition apparatus 210 and can easily call the telephone number from the telephone terminal 200 via the telephone transfer apparatus 300. This process includes a request for telephone number information from the information acquisition apparatus to the information relay apparatus (process 1), transmission of telephone number information from the information relay apparatus to the information acquisition apparatus (process 2), and the telephone terminal via the telephone transfer apparatus. It consists of three processes of outgoing call (process 3). Hereinafter, it demonstrates in order.

Process 1 (request for telephone number information from the information acquisition device to the information relay device):
First, the user of the information acquisition apparatus 210 makes an information request to the information acquisition apparatus 210 by specifying information for identifying the information relay apparatus 100 and information for identifying a request target on the network 50. Note that information for identifying the information relay apparatus 100 may be set in the information acquisition apparatus 210 in advance without being specified by the user.

  The information for identifying the request target includes information for designating which telephone number information is to be acquired from which information providing apparatus 400. The information acquisition device 210 transmits an information request including the identification information of the request target and the identification information of the information acquisition device 210 to the specified information relay device 100 via the network 50.

Process 2 (transmission of telephone number information from the information relay apparatus to the information acquisition apparatus):
The processing of the information relay apparatus 100 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the information relay apparatus 100 receives a telephone number information request from the information acquisition apparatus 210 (step S11). Next, the information conversion unit 110 of the information relay apparatus 100 acquires telephone number information (hereinafter, transfer destination telephone number) from the information providing apparatus 400 based on the request target identification information included in the request (step S12). ).

  Next, the information conversion unit 110 uses the information stored in the memory unit 130 to obtain telephone number information (hereinafter referred to as a caller telephone number) associated with the identification information of the information acquisition device 210 included in the request. get. Then, the transfer setting unit 120 sets the caller telephone number and the transfer destination telephone number as the caller and transfer destination pair for the telephone transfer device 300 as shown in FIG. Step S13). Finally, the information conversion unit 110 transmits the telephone number of the telephone transfer device 300 to the information acquisition device 210 as a response to the request from the information acquisition device 210 (step S14).

Process 3 (call from telephone terminal via telephone transfer device):
The user of the information acquisition device 210 uses the telephone terminal 200 to specify the telephone number received from the information relay device 100 and make a call. Since this telephone number is the telephone number of the telephone transfer device 300, the telephone transfer device 300 receives the call. When the telephone transfer apparatus 300 receives a telephone call, it determines a transfer destination with reference to internal transfer setting information.

  In step S13, since the telephone called from the telephone number of the telephone terminal 200 is set to be transferred to the transfer destination telephone number as shown in FIG. 2, the transfer destination is the transfer destination telephone number. . Therefore, the telephone transfer device 300 transfers the telephone to this transfer destination telephone number.

  Through the above processing, the user can make a telephone call via the telephone transfer device 300 to the telephone number obtained from the information acquisition device. In the above, since the transfer setting of the telephone transfer apparatus 300 is performed by the information relay apparatus 100 before the information acquisition apparatus obtains the telephone number information, the user designates the number of the telephone transfer apparatus 300 and makes a call. Just do it. Compared to the necessity of designating two telephone numbers in the past, it is only necessary to designate one telephone number, so that the processing of the user is simplified.

  By using the above-described processing mechanism of the present system, for example, it is possible to realize a mechanism for easily calling a telephone number searched by a telephone directory search server by incoming call charge. In this example, the information providing apparatus 400 has a function of a telephone directory search server that provides telephone number information in response to a request, and the telephone transfer apparatus 300 is assigned a telephone number for incoming call charges. A user requests and acquires telephone number information from the information providing apparatus 400 via the information relay apparatus 100 by the information acquisition apparatus 210.

  In this case, the information relay apparatus 100 transmits the telephone number of the telephone transfer apparatus 300 to the user information acquisition apparatus 210 after the telephone transfer apparatus 300 is set to transfer the search result to the telephone number. Therefore, the user can make a call to the telephone terminal 200 corresponding to the search result via the telephone transfer device 300 only by calling the telephone number indicated as the search result.

  In the case of the conventional system, after the user obtains the search result, the user needs to call the telephone transfer device 300 and then specify the telephone number of the search result. Yes.

  Next, another process in this system will be described in detail. This process consists of a telephone number information transmission request from the information providing apparatus to the information relay apparatus (process 1), a telephone number information transmission from the information relay apparatus to the information acquisition apparatus (process 2), and a telephone transfer apparatus from the telephone terminal. The call is made up of 3 processes (call 3). Hereinafter, it demonstrates in order.

Process 1 (request for transmission of telephone number information from the information providing apparatus to the information relay apparatus):
First, the information providing apparatus 400 specifies the identification information of the information acquisition apparatus 210 and requests the information relay apparatus 100 to transmit telephone number information. The information for identifying the information acquisition device includes an identifier assigned to the device, an e-mail address, etc., but any information may be used as long as the information relay device 100 can identify the information acquisition device 210. .

Process 2 (transmission of telephone number information from the information relay apparatus to the information acquisition apparatus):
The processing of the information relay apparatus 100 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the information relay apparatus 100 receives a request for transmission of telephone number information from the information providing apparatus 400 (step S21). Next, using the information stored in the memory unit 130, the information conversion unit 110 of the information relay device 100 uses the telephone number information (hereinafter referred to as a destination telephone) associated with the identification information of the information acquisition device 210 included in the request. Number).

  In addition, telephone number information (hereinafter referred to as a forwarding destination telephone number) included in the request is extracted. Then, the transfer setting unit 120 sets the set of the transmission destination telephone number and the transfer destination telephone number as the combination of the caller and the transfer destination as shown in FIG. S22). Finally, the information conversion unit 110 transmits the telephone number of the telephone transfer device 300 to the information acquisition device 210 designated by the information providing device 400 (step S23).

Process 3 (call from telephone terminal via telephone transfer device):
The user of the information acquisition device 210 uses the telephone terminal 200 to specify the telephone number received from the information relay device 100 and make a call. Since this telephone number is the telephone number of the telephone transfer device 300, the telephone transfer device 300 receives the call. When the telephone transfer device 300 receives a call, it determines the transfer destination with reference to the internal transfer setting information shown in FIG. In step S22, since the call from the telephone number of the user's telephone terminal 200 is set to be transferred to the transfer destination telephone number, the telephone transfer device 300 transfers the call to the transfer destination telephone number. .

  Through the above processing, the user can make a telephone call via the telephone transfer apparatus 300 to the telephone number transmitted by the information providing apparatus. In the above, since the transfer setting of the telephone transfer device 300 is performed before the information relay device 100 transmits the telephone number information, the user only specifies the number of the telephone transfer device 300 and makes a call. It's okay. Conventionally, the user's processing is simplified because it is only necessary to specify one telephone number as compared with the case where the user has to specify two telephone numbers.

  By using the above-described processing mechanism, for example, it is possible to realize a mechanism for easily making a call to the telephone number information received by mail with an incoming call charge. In this example, the information providing apparatus 400 has a mail server function, and the telephone forwarding apparatus 300 is assigned a telephone number for incoming call charges. The user receives a telephone number information mail from the information providing apparatus 400 via the information relay apparatus 100 by the information acquisition apparatus 210.

  In this case, the information relay apparatus 100 transmits the telephone number of the telephone transfer apparatus 300 to the user information acquisition apparatus 210 after setting the transfer to the telephone number in the mail to the telephone transfer apparatus 300. Therefore, the user can make a call to the telephone terminal 200 corresponding to the telephone number in the mail via the telephone transfer device 300 only by making a call to the received telephone number. In the case of the conventional system, since the user needs to call the telephone transfer device 300 after receiving the mail and then specify the telephone number in the mail, the processing of the user is simplified. Yes.

  In the above, two processing methods have been described. In any case, the calling process via the telephone transfer device 300 by the user of the telephone terminal 200 is simplified. In the above, the information providing apparatus 400 and the information relay apparatus 100 are separate apparatuses. However, even if the function of the information relay apparatus 100 and the function of the information provision apparatus 400 exist in the same apparatus. Good. In the above description, the information relay device 100 and the telephone transfer device 300 are separate devices, but the function of the information relay device 100 and the function of the telephone transfer device 300 may exist in the same device. Good. In the above description, the information acquisition device 210 and the telephone terminal 200 are separate devices, but the functions of both may exist in the same terminal.

  In the above, the information relay device 100 has information about the correspondence between the identification information of the information acquisition device and the telephone number, and the identification information of the information acquisition device designated by the information acquisition device 210 or the information providing device 400 To get the corresponding phone number from. However, instead of using the information about the correspondence relationship, instead of using the identification information of the information acquisition device, a direct telephone number may be specified and processing may be performed using the telephone number information.

  In the above processing, the information relayed by the information relay apparatus 100 is telephone number information. However, the information relay apparatus 100 may have a function of relaying arbitrary information without being limited to the telephone number information. In this case, the information conversion unit 110 has a function of identifying a telephone number based on a certain rule from information transmitted and received. When the telephone number information is not included in the transmitted / received information, the information conversion unit 110 relays the information as it is without performing any processing. When the telephone number information is included in the information to be transmitted / received, the information conversion unit 110 executes the telephone transfer setting process in steps S13 and S22 described above using the telephone number information as the transfer destination telephone number, The telephone number information is replaced with the telephone number of the telephone transfer device 300 and transmitted to the information acquisition device 210.

  With the above processing, when the information acquisition device 210 receives information including telephone number information, the user can easily call the telephone number via the telephone transfer device 300. The type of information may be any type of information such as e-mail or Web content. Examples of information rewritten by this conversion are shown in FIGS.

  FIG. 5 shows information before conversion, and FIG. 6 shows information after conversion. In this example, the information conversion unit 110 identifies the part described as “03-5555-6666” in FIG. 5 as a telephone number and replaces it with “0120111111” which is the number of the telephone transfer device 300. Yes. The information conversion unit 110 may use any method as long as it is based on a certain rule as a method for identifying telephone number information from information.

  If the information to be transmitted / received includes a plurality of pieces of telephone number information, the telephone number information to be replaced is selected based on a certain rule. For example, when the information is Web content, a numerical string written in a call destination designation item of a link corresponding to a telephone call may be identified and replaced as a telephone number. In the above example, there is only one telephone transfer device 300 and only one telephone number. However, there are a plurality of telephone transfer devices 300, or the telephone transfer device 300 has a plurality of telephone numbers. The transfer setting unit 120 may use a plurality of telephone numbers.

  An example of transfer information managed by the telephone transfer apparatus 300 having a plurality of telephone numbers is shown in FIG. In this case, in step S13 or step S22, the transfer setting unit 120 selects one of a plurality of telephone numbers of the telephone transfer device 300 based on a certain rule, and for the number, Set the forwarding phone number. As an example of a certain rule, there is a method of ordering a plurality of numbers and repeatedly selecting in that order.
