Abstract: An ISDN switching apparatus for performing an ISDN local connection includes a digital switch, a first terminal and a second terminal connected by a juncture external to the digital switch. A network control device performs interface control for the public network. The network control device is located between the digital switch and the public network. A terminal device controls a fixed terminal device such as an ISDN terminal. A first connection device performs a connection control of the digital switch for the terminal control device.

Abstract: A telephone call initiating system according to the invention is provided in order to make it possible to control telephone call initiation from an extremely small mobile communication terminal. This is accomplished with a key input section, a speech recognition section, a data base and display section, and a data base input control section for forming a record. The record consists of telephone number data from the key input section and data including family and given names from the speech recognition section. The record is stored into the data base. A search parameter accepting section searches the data base for the record according to data including the family and given names, and stores the retrieved record into a work area. A scroll control section scrolls, in predetermined units, the retrieved record and displays the data on the display section.
