Patent number: 7266129Abstract: A communication line control system and a communication line control method have an architecture, in which if a plurality of calls that should be processed simultaneously occur in one communication terminal incorporating communication functions containing voice communications and data communications and accommodating a plurality of communication lines, a distributed control module utilizing the plurality of communication lines on this communication terminal processes only a specified call among the plurality of calls on the basis of condition data preset in a line control unit without being aware of the plurality of communication lines. With this architecture, it is feasible to enhance a general-purposed characteristic and a simplicity of creation of the software (distributed control module) for controlling the plurality of communication lines, reduce a load thereof and improve its usability.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2000Date of Patent: September 4, 2007Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Noriyuki Ohsawa, Isamu Kitagawa, Munetaka Sakata

Patent number: 6721417Abstract: A call center system is composed of stations connected with each other through a WAN, and each station has the function of executing the waiting control of an incoming call and the function of executing the distribution control of the incoming call. A call history information transmitting and receiving control unit attaches call history information for indicating the state of waiting control and the state of transfer of the incoming call, to the incoming call to be transferred to another station, and conversely receives call history information attached to the incoming call transferred from another station. A waiting control unit executes the waiting control and distribution control of the incoming call corresponding to the call history information based on the call history information received by the call history information transmitting and receiving control unit.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 1998Date of Patent: April 13, 2004Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Toshiyuki Saito, Koji Yamato, Isamu Kitagawa
