  • Publication number: 20110305238
    Abstract: A communication apparatus is provided for relaying an IP telephony service provided by a PBX server to extension telephones. The communication apparatus includes: a memory unit which stores a user-ID/Subscriber definition table in which a user-ID preassigned to each of the extension telephones is associated with a user password and a subscriber number of the PBX server which is available by the user-ID; and a portal controller which has a Web server function for providing the PCs with a portal service, and processes portal data from the PCs and the PBX server. The portal controller determines, in accordance with a user-ID and a user password which are entered from the PC, a subscriber number to be used by the user-ID, records an access state to the portal service into a portal service access table, and associates the extension telephone that corresponds to the user-ID with the portal service.

  • Publication number: 20040042594
    Abstract: When a telephone unit in the present invention receives a caller data at incoming call, it provides a new history data or updates a existing history data for storage in memory unit; depending on situation whether or not there exists a history data containing caller's telephone number and incoming date and time indicated in the caller data. It has a caller data voice transmittance processor which transmits via voice processor the stored history data to outside, in response to a reproduction command. Under the above-described configuration, the telephone unit can transmit the caller-related information to the user away from home; either for the entire information, for the latest information alone, or for the whole information received from a certain specific caller, upon optional demand of the user.

  • Patent number: 6631190
    Abstract: A telephone system capable of judging kinds of various signals (line input signals) obtained through a line is disclosed, that enables reduction of the number of parts, detection with high accuracy, reduction of a mounting area, and reduction in costs. The telephone system includes an A/D converter for making A/D conversion of the line input signal such as a CPC signal, a bell signal, and a usage state signal indicating a telephone line usage state to output a digital line input signal, and a frequency analyzing unit for making frequency analysis of the digital signal converted by the A/D converter, and the central processing unit judges the kind of the line input signal based on a result of the frequency analyzing unit.

  • Publication number: 20010003538
    Abstract: A Caller ID service handling apparatus capable of upgrading and coping flexibly with change of service contents and addition of service. This apparatus has a program memory region in its memory so as to be flexibly applied to the service contents. The communication format of the exchange equipment and this apparatus is determined. The exchange equipment transmits a program corresponding to change or addition of service contents. This apparatus downloads necessary data. Thus, without requiring exclusive apparatuses individually, in spite of service contents differing corresponding to change in Caller ID service content, addition of new Caller ID service, or difference in service contents among telephone companies (carriers), it presents an apparatus capable of upgrading.

  • Patent number: 5442685
    Abstract: An automatic telephone answering apparatus sends an out-going message recorded in a memory through a telephone line and records in-coming messages in another in-coming message memory. In addition, the apparatus records a conversation between an operator and a partner. The apparatus includes a line status detector that detects the status of the telephone line and a controller that is responsive to the line status detector for effecting a predetermined preparation operation. The apparatus further includes a control mechanism for detecting an area of the in-coming message memory where in-coming messages are stored and detecting an empty area of the in-coming message memory. The controller effects the preparation operation by causing the control mechanism to detect the empty area.
