Abstract

Abstract A communication terminal equipment that permits two-way communications to be performed over a complex communications network having an integrated services digital network interconnected with existing multiple communication networks and that has a capability for calling again a receiver terminal of interest when a communication trouble has occurred. The repeated call management table selecting unit selects a repeated call management table that complies with a specific conditions of calling a receiver terminal of interest. If a communication trouble occurs during the calling operation to permit disconnect information to be sent back, the repeated call condition selecting units selects the appropriate condition for making a repeated call from the repeated call management table in response to the returned disconnect information. The selected condition for making a repeated call corresponds to the disconnect information positively, thereby enabling a repeated call to be made in a reliable manner.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 234 words
Communication terminal equipment which is connected to an ISDN (integrated services digital network) to perform two-way communications with terminal equipment on a complex communications network having an ISDN interconnected with existing communication networks, comprising: a calling means for calling a receiver terminal according to a call control procedure and under the condition of communications that comply with a specific calling condition; a call control procedure changing means for changing the call control procedure upon detecting a switch from one communications network to another to be handled; a disconnect information detecting means for detecting the disconnect information being sent back when a communication trouble has occurred; a repeated call management table storage means for registering a plurality of repeated call management tables each specifying the relationship between disconnect information and the condition of making a repeated call; a repeated call management table selecting means by which a repeated call management table that complies with said control procedure is selected from said repeated call management table storage means; a repeated calling condition selector means by which an appropriate condition for making the repeated call is selected from said selected repeated call management table on the basis of the returned disconnect information; and a repeated calling means for calling again the receiver terminal of interest by the call control procedure and under the condition of communications that comply with the selected condition for making the repeated call.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 234 words
Communication terminal equipment which is connected to an ISDN (integrated services digital network) to perform two-way communications with terminal equipment on a complex communications network having an ISDN interconnected with existing communication networks, comprising: a calling means for calling a receiver terminal according to a call control procedure and under the condition of communications that comply with a specific calling condition; a call control procedure changing means for changing the call control procedure upon detecting a switch from one communications network to another to be handled; a disconnect information detecting means for detecting the disconnect information being sent back when a communication trouble has occurred; a repeated call management table storage means for registering a plurality of repeated call management tables each specifying the relationship between disconnect information and the condition of making a repeated call; a repeated call management table selecting means by which a repeated call management table that complies with said control procedure is selected from said repeated call management table storage means; a repeated calling condition selector means by which an appropriate condition for making the repeated call is selected from said selected repeated call management table on the basis of the returned disconnect information; and a repeated calling means for calling again the receiver terminal of interest by the call control procedure and under the condition of communications that comply with the selected condition for making the repeated call.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 25 words
The communication terminal equipment according to claim 1 further comprising: means for modifying the contents of one or more of said repeated call management tables.
