Method for routing telephone calls and/or addressed data files which are transmitted via local or global networks

摘要

The invention relates to a method for routing telephone calls and/or addressed data files which are electronically transmitted via local or global networks. According to the invention the call numbers of several receiving terminals are memorized under a single identification number and incoming telephone calls and data files whose address contains said identification number as destination number are routed to at least one receiving terminal whose call number is memorized under said identification number. According to the invention each memory location for a call number is permanently assigned to a key of the keyboard of a telephone equipped for digital data transmission or dual-tone multi-frequency dialing. The sequence in which the keys are actuated after activation by means of an input code defines a call routing sequence for access to the memory locations. The input of the call routing sequence is memorized and terminated by pressing a telephone key which triggers a limiting signal. If a telephone call or data file is received under the identification number the memory locations are interrogated in accordance with the defined call routing sequence and said telephone call or data file is routed to the call number memorized in the corresponding memory location.
