US 5,805,684 A · Communication terminal device

Abstract

A communication terminal device, interconnecting with a network system like the ISDN system, is configured by a CPU and a memory which stores calling identification numbers and called identification numbers with respect to communication companions who are registered in advance. Herein, one calling identification number and at least one called identification number are registered with respect to each communication companion. At a communication-sending event, a user designates a desired communication companion so that its calling identification number is automatically read out from the memory; and consequently, the communication terminal device automatically calls up the desired communication companion through the network system. At a communication-receiving event, the communication terminal device is informed of a calling party number corresponding to a calling party who accesses thereto through the network system. Then, the communication terminal device searches a called identification number, which coincides with the calling party number, within the called identification numbers registered in the memory. Thus, the calling party is identified based on the called identification number searched, so that the communication terminal device automatically performs a specific communication control which is set for the calling party identified.

Dependent claims

A communication terminal device comprising:

storing means for storing one calling identification number and at least one called identification number with respect to each communication companion;
and
control means for, during a communication sending-event, reading out a calling identification number, corresponding to a desired communication companion, from the storing means to call up the desired communication companion, and during a communication-receiving event, the control means identifies a communication companion based on a calling party number, which is provided through a network, and a called identification number from the at least one called identification number stored in the storing means, so that the control means performs communication control in response to the called identification number for the identified communication companion.

A communication terminal device, which sends or receives communication with respect to a communication companion through an ISDN system, the communication terminal device comprising:

a memory for storing calling identification numbers and called identification numbers with respect to communication companions who are registered in advance, wherein the memory stores one calling identification number and at least one called identification number with respect to each communication companion;
communication sending means, which is made active when a user designates a desired communication companion, for automatically reading out a calling identification number, corresponding to the desired communication companion, to call up the desired communication companion;
and
communication receiving means, which is made active when a calling party calls up the communication terminal device, for searching a called identification number which coincides with a calling party number of the stored at least one called identification number and which is provided by the ISDN system in response to the calling party to identify the calling party within the communication companions who are registered in the memory;
and
communication control means, which is made active when the communication receiving means succeeds to identify the calling party, for performing a specific communication control which is set for the calling party corresponding to one of the communication companions registered in the memory.
