Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
215 words
A call forwarding control system for use in a communication system which includes at least two terminals connected to a first network and at least two terminals connected to a second network which is coupled to the first network, said second network being an integrated services digital network and said first network being a public switched telephone network, said call forwarding control system being in said second network, and comprising: a call forwarding accept means accepting a call forwarding request from a terminal of the second network upon that terminal receiving a call from a terminal of the first network; judging means, coupled to said call forwarding accept means for judging whether the call forwarding request accepted by said call forwarding accept means is a call forwarding request to a terminal of the first or second network; call forwarding execution means coupled to said judging means for executing a call forwarding to a terminal in the second network when said judging means determines that the forwarding request is to a terminal of the second network; and a call forwarding request means coupled to said call forwarding accept means for requesting the first network to execute the call forwarding when the judging means determines that the forwarding request is to a terminal of the first network.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
215 words
A call forwarding control system for use in a communication system which includes at least two terminals connected to a first network and at least two terminals connected to a second network which is coupled to the first network, said second network being an integrated services digital network and said first network being a public switched telephone network, said call forwarding control system being in said second network, and comprising: a call forwarding accept means accepting a call forwarding request from a terminal of the second network upon that terminal receiving a call from a terminal of the first network; judging means, coupled to said call forwarding accept means for judging whether the call forwarding request accepted by said call forwarding accept means is a call forwarding request to a terminal of the first or second network; call forwarding execution means coupled to said judging means for executing a call forwarding to a terminal in the second network when said judging means determines that the forwarding request is to a terminal of the second network; and a call forwarding request means coupled to said call forwarding accept means for requesting the first network to execute the call forwarding when the judging means determines that the forwarding request is to a terminal of the first network.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The call forwarding control system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second network includes a private branch exchange.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
The call forwarding control system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said call forwarding accept means, said judging means, said call forwarding request means and said call forwarding execution means are implemented through a feature key management protocol and a keypad protocol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
The call forwarding control system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said call forwarding accept means, said judging means, said call forwarding request means and said call forwarding execution means are implemented by a functional protocol.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
72 words
The call forwarding control system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said call forwarding request means includes means for forwarding a call addressed to a called terminal of the second network and originating from a terminal of the first network, the call being forwarded to another terminal of the first network, by using a channel between the two terminals of the first network via the first network and excluding the second network.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
71 words
The call forwarding control system as claimed in claim 1, which further comprises storage means for storing a forwarding destination of the first network in response to a maintenance operational command originating in the second network, and said call forwarding request means requests the call forwarding to the forwarding destination which is read out from said storage means in response to an activate instruction from a terminal of the second network.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
83 words
The call forwarding control system as claimed in claim 1 which further comprises storage means for storing a forwarding destination of the first network in response to a maintenance operational command originating within the second network, and said call forwarding request means, requests the call forwarding to the forwarding destination which is read out from said storage means in response to one of a maintenance operational command from said second network and an activate instruction from an external key in said second network.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
33 words
The call forwarding control system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the channel between the two terminals of the first network excludes an information channel on a T-point side of the second network.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
36 words
The call forwarding control system as claimed in claim 5, wherein said call forwarding request means further includes notifying means for notifying the called terminal of the second network of a completion of the call forwarding.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
52 words
The call forwarding control system as claimed in claim 9, wherein said notifying means notifies the called terminal of the second network of the completion of the call forwarding by a message which is received from the first network and sent as it is to the called terminal of the second network.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
21 words
The call forwarding control system as claimed in claim 10, wherein the first network originally includes the capability of forwarding messages.
