TELEPHONE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND CELLULAR PHONE TERMINAL

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a call termination requesting person to contact a called partner even when the partner does not notice the call termination. SOLUTION: When a user γ of a terminal C performs a call termination request (origination) to a terminal A, at a point when a user α of the terminal A does not answer the call termination request for over predetermined time, the terminal A searches for terminals existing in its vicinity by short range radio communication. The terminal A obtains terminal identification information of a nearby terminal (terminal B here) and notifies the terminal A of the terminal identification information on condition that the terminal identification information is registered in the self-terminal. Thus, the user γ learns that a user β is near the user α and it becomes possible for the user γ to contact the user α via the user β. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
