  In addition, when the pairing operation accepting unit 34 accepts a pairing release request operation from the user via the man-machine interface unit 31 (YES in S58), the pairing operation accepting unit 34 notifies the pairing request / release request transmitting unit 35 to that effect. In response to this, the pairing request / cancel request transmission unit 35 checks whether or not the pairing number is registered in the pairing number storage unit 36 (S59). If the pairing number is not registered (NO in S59), error processing such as displaying on the man-machine interface unit 31 that there is no extension telephone 2 that is the target of pairing cancellation is performed (S60).

  On the other hand, when the pairing number is registered (YES in S59), the pairing request / release request transmission unit 35 receives the pairing number (extension number) stored in the pairing number storage unit 36 and the own information terminal. 3 is generated, and the pairing cancellation request is transmitted to the main apparatus 1 via the LAN interface unit 30 (S61). Then, the pairing request / release request transmission unit 35 deletes the pairing number from the pairing number storage unit 36 (S62).

  Further, when receiving the incoming notification message from the main apparatus 1 via the LAN interface unit 30 (YES in S63), the incoming notification receiving unit 37 notifies the incoming call number and the user name included in the incoming notification message. It is passed to the display unit 38. In response to this, the incoming call notification display unit 38 informs that the telephone call addressed to the user name received from the incoming call notification receiving unit 37 is being received at the destination number received from the incoming call notification receiving unit 37. The notification is displayed on the man-machine interface unit 31 (S64).

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described above.

  In the present embodiment, the main device 1 stores address information of one or more information terminals 3 associated with the extension telephone 2 accommodated in the main device 1. Then, when the main device 1 receives any of the extension telephones 2 as a call destination and receives a connection request with designation of the other party, the main apparatus 1 sends the extension to each information terminal 3 associated with the extension telephone 2. An incoming call notification message including the extension number of the telephone 2 and the information of the other party is transmitted. As a result, a telephone call to the other party specified by the information included in the incoming notification message is received by these information terminals 3 at the extension telephone 2 specified by the extension number included in the incoming notification message. Let me know. Therefore, according to this embodiment, even when the user is away from the extension telephone 2, it is possible to confirm who the incoming call to the extension telephone 2 is.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the main device 1 associates the extension telephone 2 specified in this request with the requesting information terminal 3 in accordance with the pairing request and the pairing release request received from the information terminal 3. And release it. In this way, the extension terminal 2 and the information terminal 3 can be linked and released from the information terminal 3, so that, for example, each user gathered in the conference room has its own information terminal 3 only during the meeting. Can be linked to the extension telephone 2 in the conference room, and the information terminal 3 can confirm who the incoming call is to the extension telephone 2 in the conference room, thereby improving the usability of the extension telephone system.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the information terminal 3 acquires an extension number from the extension telephone 2 by short-range wireless communication, and transmits a pairing request with designation of the extension number to the main apparatus 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this. An extension number may be received from the user via the man-machine interface unit 31, and a pairing request accompanied with the designation of the extension number may be transmitted to the main apparatus 1.

  In the above embodiment, the information terminal 3 transmits a pairing request and a pairing cancellation request to the main apparatus 1, but the extension telephone 2 transmits a pairing request and a pairing cancellation request to the main apparatus 1. You may make it do. In this case, the extension telephone 2 acquires address information from the information terminal 3 by short-range wireless communication or the like, for example. Then, a pairing request and a pairing release request including designation of the extension number of the own extension telephone 2 and the address information of the information terminal 3 are transmitted.

  In the above-described embodiment, the extension telephone 2 that is the destination of the connection request is ringed. However, the extension telephone 2 that is the destination of the connection request may not be ringed according to user settings. For example, a user who has confirmed by the information terminal 3 that the incoming call is addressed to the user or a user who should act on behalf of the user responds to the extension telephone 2 without disturbing the progress of the conference or the like by the sound of the extension telephone 2 Can do.

  In the above embodiment, the connection request includes the destination number and the user information of the other party of the call. The connection request further includes the user information of the caller user and is displayed on the information terminal 3. You may make it include the user information of a transmission origin user in an incoming call notification message. In this case, if the information terminal 3 continues to display the incoming notification message until it receives an erasure instruction from the user, or keeps the incoming notification message as an incoming call history, the user designated as the other party is, for example, Even if the incoming call cannot be answered due to a presentation or the like, the caller user can be recognized.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the functional configurations of the main device 1, the extension telephone 2, and the information terminal 3 shown in FIGS. 4, 9, and 12 are respectively ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), FPGA ( It may be realized in hardware by an integrated logic IC such as Field Programmable Gate Array, or may be realized in software by a computer such as DSP (Digital Signal Processor).
