Title: Handling calls according to call priority and called party schedules
Inventor: AWAMOTO YASUHIKO
IPC: H04M3/436
Filed: 2006-12-21
Abstract: A connection-request receiving block 1d extracts a transmission-source telephone number 4a and a transmission-destination telephone number 4b and identifies the called party from the transmission-destination telephone number. A call-importance-level determination block 1e then determines the importance level of the incoming call. A schedule determination block 1f determines whether the current time falls in a response-rejection time zone of the called party. A connection determination block 1g determines according to the response-rejection time zone and the call importance level whether the call should be put through. If yes, a telephone calling block 1h directs the call to a terminal 3 corresponding to the transmission-destination telephone number. A priority value may be associated with each time zone entry in the schedule such that incoming calls are only transferred to the call party if they have a priority level at or above the level associated with time zone in which the call is received.
