In other words, in the present embodiment, nothing happens even if the telephone number information displayed on the display unit in the Web browser is selected, or an HTML file for which processing other than the processing for making a call is performed. Then, it is a process performed by selecting execution of the telephone number information conversion process.

First, the system user reads (executes) the HTML to be converted into the Web browser, and then selects execution of conversion processing from the menu. By this selection, the telephone number information detection unit 3b performs a process of detecting, from the HTML file, information that is not compatible with the system and may be a telephone number. Then, the information having the possibility of the telephone number detected by this detection processing is analyzed by the detection information analysis unit 3c, and only the effective portion as the telephone number is extracted. Further, the telephone number information conversion unit 3d generates link information to the protocol information according to the telephone call middleware according to the external line number or the internal line number based on the analysis result,
It is reconstructed into an HTML file containing telephone number information corresponding to the system. By this conversion processing, the telephone number information displayed on the display unit has link information, and the above-mentioned telephone call processing and the like are performed by selecting the number. Here, in the conversion processing of the telephone number information, the system user can set the conditions at the time of conversion, and in the present embodiment, the conversion of the telephone number information is performed only when the HTML file includes specific title information. It is possible to set the processing. Not only this condition but also various conditions such as converting only the specified telephone number when converting the telephone number information or not can be set.

Further, the flow of the main processing in the conversion processing of the telephone number information in the first information terminal 2 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the main processing in the conversion processing of telephone number information. As shown in FIG. 3, first, the process proceeds to step S300, the file is read, and the process proceeds to step S302. Here, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the file is read by executing the file with the Web browser.
Therefore, the execution of the image file by the Web browser also reads the file.

In step S302, it is determined whether or not the conversion process has been selected for the read file. If it is determined that the conversion process has been selected (Yes), step S3 is performed.
If not (No), the process waits until it is selected. When the process proceeds to step S304, the telephone number information detection unit 3b performs a process of detecting the telephone number information that is not compatible with the system, and when the unsupported telephone number information is detected, the detection information analysis unit is performed. By 3c,
Analysis processing is performed and the process proceeds to step S306.

In step S306, it is determined whether or not the detection result (including the analysis result) is acquired. If it is determined that the detection result is acquired (Yes), the process proceeds to step S308, and if not (No), the acquisition is performed. Wait until you do. That is, the target H
If the system does not detect unsupported telephone number information from the TML file, that information is obtained as a detection result, and if the system does not support unsupported telephone number information, the analysis result is the detection result. To be acquired. When the process proceeds to step S308, the phone number information conversion unit 3d performs the conversion process of the phone number information based on the acquired analysis result, and then the process proceeds to step S310.

In step S310, it is determined whether or not the conversion process is completed. If it is determined that the conversion process is completed (Yes), the process proceeds to step S312, and if not (No), the process stands by until it is completed. Here, if the detection result in step S306 is a result in which unsupported telephone number information is not detected in the system, a message to that effect is displayed without performing the conversion process, and the process ends. When the process proceeds to step S312, the Web browser control unit 3a outputs the file after the conversion process (stores it in a storage unit (not shown) or causes the Web browser to execute it) and ends the process.

Further, based on FIG. 4, the telephone number information detecting section 3b in the telephone number information conversion processing of the first information terminal 3
The flow of the telephone number information detection processing and the detection information analysis processing of the detection information analysis unit 3c will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the telephone number information detecting process of the telephone number information detecting unit 3b and the analyzing process of the detected information analyzing unit 3c in the telephone number information converting process. As shown in FIG. 4, first, the process proceeds to step S400, the telephone number information detection unit 3b determines whether or not the created language of the read file is HTML, and if the file is created by HTML (Yes), The process proceeds to step S402, and if not (No), the process proceeds to step S418.

When step S402 is entered, the telephone number information detector 3b detects the title information included in the HTML file, and step S404 is entered. That is, the character information between <TITLE> and </ TITLE> is detected. When the process proceeds to step S404, the telephone number information detection unit 3b determines whether or not the detected title information includes the designated character information,
If it is determined that the designated character information is included (Yes), the process proceeds to step S406, and if not (No), the process proceeds to step S416. That is, in the present embodiment, the character information such as a specific word is designated in advance, and when the designated character information is not included in the title information of the HTML file, a process of ending the detection process is performed. It can be done. Here, as the character information to be designated, for example, "telephone", "contact", "support", etc. can be considered.

When the process proceeds to step S406, the telephone number information detecting unit 3b extracts from the HTML file the text that starts with the tag and ends with the number and is not subjected to the conversion processing of the telephone number information. Then, the process proceeds to step S408. In step S408, the telephone number information detection unit 3b determines whether unconverted text has been extracted, and if it has been determined that it has been extracted.
(Yes) outputs the result to the detection information analysis unit 3c and shifts to step S410, and if not (No) shifts to step S414.

When the process proceeds to step S410, the detection information analysis unit 3c uses the extracted text as valid information as a telephone number (for example, 0 to 9, *, #, etc.).
Is extracted and the process proceeds to step S412. Step S4
When shifting to 12, the detection information analysis unit 3c outputs the analysis result to the telephone number information conversion unit 3d and ends the process. On the other hand, in step S408, if the unconverted text is not detected and the process proceeds to step S414, the telephone number information detecting unit 3b outputs the result to the telephone number information converting unit 3.
Output to d and end the process.

Further, in step S404, the designated character information is not included in the title information, so that the title information is not included in step S404.
In the case of shifting to 416, the telephone number information detection unit 3b
The result is output to the telephone number information conversion unit 3d, and the process ends. In step S400, the read file creation language is not HTML but step S41.
When the process shifts to 8, the telephone number information detecting unit 3b outputs the result to the telephone number information converting unit 3d and ends the process.

Here, steps S400 to S4
The process of 18 is performed when the conversion process is set only when the designated information is included in the title information of the HTML file. Therefore, when this setting is not performed, steps S402 and S4
The processing of step S406 is performed next to step S400 without performing the processing of 04. Further, based on FIG. 5, the telephone number information conversion unit 3d in the first information terminal 3
The processing flow of is described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the processing of the telephone number information conversion unit 3d in the first information terminal 3.

Then, it is determined whether or not the detection result is acquired. If it is determined that the detection result is acquired (Yes), the process proceeds to step S502, and if not (No), the process waits until acquisition. If the process proceeds to step S502, it is determined based on the acquired detection result whether or not there is unconverted telephone number information in the detection result, and if it is determined (Yes), step S50 is performed.
If not (No), the process proceeds to step S510.

When the process proceeds to step S504, the link information to the protocol information according to the telephone call middleware is generated for the target telephone number information, and the step S504 is performed.
Move to 506. In step S506, it is determined whether or not there is any other unconverted telephone number information. If it is determined (Yes), the process proceeds to step S504 to perform link information generation processing, and if not (No). ) Is step S5
Move to 08.

When the process proceeds to step S508, the HTML file is reconstructed by the converted information and the conversion process is ended. Here, the reconstruction of the HTML file is
For example, it is done by reconstructing the tag part, normal text, and the created link in this order. On the other hand, step S50
There is no unconverted telephone number information in step 2, and step S5
When the process shifts to 10, nothing is done to the read HTML file and the conversion process is ended.

Further, referring to FIG. 6, a flow of processing in an example of telephone number transmission processing when the converted HTML file is executed will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of a telephone number calling process when the converted HTML file is executed. As shown in FIG. 6, first, in step S600, the HTM including the telephone number information having the link information is included.

The file is executed.
The information as shown in is displayed on the display unit.

When the process proceeds to step S602, the Web browser control section 3a determines whether or not the telephone number having the link information is selected, and if it is determined that the telephone number is selected.
(Yes) moves to step S604, otherwise (N
o) waits for selection. When the process proceeds to step S604, the Web browser control unit 3a acquires the link destination information and proceeds to step S606. here,
When the link information is obtained from a terminal that activates a web browser, or from a terminal connected thereto via a local network such as a LAN, the link information is transmitted via the internet via the internet as shown by the name of the web browser. There are various cases, such as when acquiring from a site.

When the process proceeds to step S606, the Web browser control section 3a determines whether or not the information of the link destination is the telephone call protocol information, and if it is the telephone call protocol information (Yes), the acquired protocol is acquired. The information is output to the telephone controller 3e and the process proceeds to step S608. If not (No), the process proceeds to step S614. When the process proceeds to step S608, the telephone control unit 3e
Control information is generated based on the acquired protocol information, this information is output to the telephone calling interface, and the process proceeds to step S610.

In step S610, the telephone calling interface 3i performs a process for making a call to the telephone number selected by the first telephone based on the acquired control information, and the process proceeds to step S612. Here, in the process of making a call, as described above, when the selected telephone number is an outside line number, a process of making a call to the other party of the telephone number using the public telephone line network 8 is performed. If the selected telephone number is an extension number, a process for making a call to the other party of the telephone number via the IP network 9 using VoIP is performed.
