Abstract

A telephone system comprising a plurality of telephone terminals, a switching device connected to the telephone terminals via a communication network, and a server device connected to the communication network, wherein the switching device comprises a transfer section for transferring a call to a telephone terminal in which a transfer function is set therein to a telephone terminal at a transfer destination, and the server device comprises a monitor section for monitoring a log-in/log-out state of a user for each of the plurality of telephone terminals and a releasing section for releasing the setting of the transfer function on the basis of the result of the monitoring when an operation to the telephone terminal with the transfer function set therein by a log-in user satisfies a defined condition.

Claims

1. A telephone system comprising a plurality of telephone terminals, a switching device connected to the telephone terminals via a communication network, and a server device connected to the communication network, wherein the switching device comprises:

a transfer section for transferring a call to a telephone terminal in which a transfer function is set therein to a telephone terminal at a transfer destination, and the server device comprises;

a monitor section for monitoring a log-in/log-out state of a user for each of the plurality of telephone terminals; and

a releasing section for releasing the setting of the transfer function on the basis of the result of the monitoring when an operation to the telephone terminal with the transfer function set therein by a log-in user satisfies a defined condition.

2. The telephone system according to claim 1, wherein the releasing section releases the setting of the transfer function when the log-in user logs on to a different telephone terminal from the telephone terminal at the transfer destination.

3. The telephone system according to claim 1, wherein the releasing section releases the setting of the transfer function when the log-in user logs off from the telephone terminal at the transfer destination.

4. The telephone system according to claim 1, wherein the releasing section releases the setting of the transfer function when a defined period has elapsed after termination of the telephone at the transfer destination.

5. The telephone system according to claim 1, wherein the communication network is a precinct network formed in a precinct.

6. The telephone system according to claim 1, wherein the communication network is a wide area network including a general purpose network.

7. The telephone system according to claim 1, wherein the communication network is an IP network.

8. A telephone system comprising a plurality of telephone terminals and a switching device connected to the telephone terminals via a communication network, wherein the switching device comprises:

a transfer section for transferring a call to a telephone terminal with a transfer function set therein to a telephone terminal at a transfer destination;

a monitor section for monitoring a log-in/log-out state of a user for each of the plurality of telephone terminals; and

a releasing section for releasing the setting of the transfer function on the basis of the result of the monitoring when an operation to the telephone terminal with the transfer function set therein by a log-in user satisfies a defined condition.

9. The telephone system according to claim 8, wherein the releasing section releases the setting of the transfer function when the log-in user logs on to a different telephone terminal from the telephone terminal at the transfer destination.

10. The telephone system according to claim 8, wherein the releasing section releases the setting of the transfer function when the log-in user logs off from the telephone terminal at the transfer destination.

11. The telephone system according to claim 8, wherein the releasing section releases the setting of the transfer function when a defined period has elapsed after termination of the telephone at the transfer destination.

12. The telephone system according to claim 8, wherein the communication network is a precinct network formed in a precinct.

13. The telephone system according to claim 8, wherein the communication network is a wide area network including a general purpose network.

14. The telephone system according to claim 8, wherein the communication network is an IP network.
