By recognizing 7), it is possible to talk only with a desired party (the interest holder 206 registered in the subscriber data). In this case, a normal busy tone is sent to the unregistered caller (user 207). Not limited to this embodiment, the exchange may be replaced with a digital exchange. Further, the terminal used by the user may be not only an ordinary telephone (ISDN non-standard terminal) but also a digital telephone having an ISDN function. Furthermore, not only the hooking operation of the terminal, but also a method of converting the other party by using a signal that can be identified by the exchange through the function button of the terminal may be adopted. Further, in the present embodiment, the interrupt call connection method when the user 204 calls the user 205 has been shown, but conversely, the user 205 calls the user 204 and the user 206 makes a call during the call. Needless to say, even when the user 204 makes a call to the user 204, the interruption call connection is performed by the exchange as in the present embodiment. Also,
In this embodiment, the telephone number of the other party is set as the incoming call display in the subscriber data, but it may be registered in a database independent of the subscriber data. Further, in the present embodiment, if the telephone number of the third party is not registered in the telephone number of the other party who displays the incoming call, a busy tone is sent to the third party, and the contractor of the interrupt call connection service is contracted. In the above, the method of not displaying the incoming call is shown, but for the caller set in the subscriber data, one incoming call display sound selected from multiple types of special incoming call display sounds prepared in the call waiting circuit is displayed. However, the caller identification, which is the gist of the present invention, can be performed by displaying an incoming call display sound (for example, a normal incoming call sound) other than the plurality of types to other callers. Furthermore, priority may be set for a plurality of types of incoming call display sounds.
