BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention detects the calling party number based on the notification of the ISDN calling party number, records the calling party number, name and address at the time of answering machine, and gives priority to the calling party number. The present invention relates to an ISDN button telephone device that transmits a ringing tone during a call based on the above and automatically responds with a calling party number in descending order of priority.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in ISDN, when a call is received, the calling party number of the calling terminal is notified. The following processing is known in the answering machine which is connected to such an ISDN. (1) When an incoming call arrives at the answering machine, if the called party hangs up without recording a message, only the busy tone is recorded. (2) The ring tone is automatically lowered for the next incoming call after the call. (3) When a plurality of calls arrive at the same time during a call, the call that first arrives after the call is automatically answered. Further, there are the following proposals in relation to a key telephone device connected to this kind of ISDN. (4) There is a "telephone" disclosed in JP-A-2-56153, and in this proposal, ISDN calling party number notification information is recorded and displayed, and is also used for calling.
