  • Patent number: 11044362
    Abstract: Terminal information of a mobile terminal via the Internet is transmitted, and an outgoing reservation is made. Along with this, terminal information of a mobile terminal is transmitted from a telephone network to a telephone exchange apparatus of a company. The telephone exchange apparatus checks the terminal information of a call originator mobile terminal for which an outgoing call is reserved via the Internet against call originating terminal information arrived via the telephone network, and when the call originator terminal information arrived via the telephone network can be authenticated, the reserved call destination terminal is called with the company exchange apparatus as a call originator. When a user calls a customer from his/her mobile terminal phone, a telephone number of the personal mobile terminal is not displayed on a call destination terminal. Further, no troublesome operation for callback is required, and the communication cost charged to a company is reduced.

  • Patent number: 10165098
    Abstract: In a telephone switching apparatus equipped with an automatic call recording function, when recording of a call is started, a PB signal cannot be sent by operating a button any longer. Further, a user mistakenly assumes that there is a problem because the PB signal cannot be sent. Means capable of selecting, when recording means starts recording of a call, whether a PB signal is sent or not is provided, thus making it possible to send a PB signal.

  • Patent number: 10135998
    Abstract: A key telephone system includes a terminal and a primary device. The primary device transmits a command for transition into a power-saving state to the terminal, together with a power-saving duration time datum and/or a power-saving deactivating time datum, when the time reaches a power-saving state transition time. The terminal specifies the power-saving duration time and/or the power-saving deactivating time in the timekeeper means, and halts the communication means for communicating with the primary device at the time of receiving the command for transition into the power-saving state from the primary device, and activates the communication means being halted at a time when the timekeeper means has measured the lapse of the power-saving duration time and/or the power-saving deactivating time.

  • Patent number: 10092472
    Abstract: In nurse call systems where communication between a plurality of slave units and a plurality of extension terminals is possible, a nurse call controller serving the slave units and a private branch exchange serving the mobile terminals have been connected to each other through a nurse call adaptor; thus, there is a need for one such nurse call system that does not require a nurse call adaptor. Provided is an interface unit which is connected to a nurse call controller through a plurality of ISND basic interfaces, connected to a private branch exchange through an ISDN primary rate interface, and performs interface conversion therebetween.

  • Patent number: 9787833
    Abstract: In nurse call systems that enable communication from a plurality of cordless handsets with a plurality of extension terminals carried by nurses belonging to a group, a nurse call conversion unit is provided between a nurse call control device and a private branch exchange. A call signal for a group representative call in which only an identification number for a group is given is transmitted by the nurse call conversion unit from the nurse call control device to the private branch exchange. From this call signal, the private branch exchange generates a call signal for extension terminals belonging to a group and calls the extension terminals.

  • Publication number: 20140010229
    Abstract: Provided are a data communication system, a data communication terminal, a data communication method and a computer program for allowing activation of Web services without need of a plurality of telephone number contracts. In a data communication system where communications are performed between a first communication terminal and a second communication terminal via a network, the first communication terminal includes a control means for controlling the activation of a predetermined Web service on the basis of session information received from the second communication terminal. The session information, which is information using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), comprises a request destination, a header and a message body. The message body describes session-related information that uses Session Description Protocol (SDP).

  • Patent number: 8121724
    Abstract: In response to a transfer request, for which a loading time at a transfer source and a loading time at a transfer target are designated by a production controller, there is created a transfer scenario, which contains a basic transfer (From) from the transfer source to a buffer near the transfer target, for example, and a basic transfer (To) from the buffer to the transfer target. In order that the basic transfers (From, To) may be able to be executed, the buffer is reserved, and a transfer vehicle is allocated. The time period for the transfer vehicle to run to the transfer source or the buffer and the time period for the transfer vehicle to run from the transfer source or the buffer are estimated to assign a transfer command to the transfer vehicle. The possibility that the loading and the loading time may deviate from a designated period is evaluated. In case this possibility is high, a production controller is informed that a just-in-time transfer is difficult.

  • Patent number: 8019468
    Abstract: A transport scenario composed of a basic transport (From) from a transport starting point to, e.g., a buffer near the transport destination point and a basic transport (To) from the buffer to the transport destination point is created in response to a transport request of a production controller for transport whose loading times at the transport starting point and at the transport destination point are specified. The buffer is reserved so as to perform the basic transport (From) and the basic transport (To), transport vehicles are allocated, the travel time to the transport starting point or the buffer and the travel time from the transport starting point or the buffer are estimated, and transport instructions are given to the transport vehicles. The possibility that the loading times are out of the specified period is evaluated. If the possibility is larger, the impossibility of a just-in-time transport is notified to the production controller.
