1. JP2007104000 - TELEPHONE ANSWERING SYSTEM AND ANSWERING SERVER THEREOF

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a client to dispense with the setting and canceling operation of an automatic answering mode for improving operability and reliability in the automatic answering mode, and to enable the client to recognize the presence or absence of a massage recorded reliably while the client leaves his or her seat.

SOLUTION: Pressure sensors 8l-8n are provided in seats 61-6n of the client, and the detection signal is transmitted to an answering server 2 from radio transmitters 9l-9n via a radio sensor network access point 7 for determining whether the client leaves/takes his or her seat. The automatic answering mode is set and canceled according to the determined result for indicating whether the client left/took his or her seat. When the message is recorded while the client leaves his or her seat, message-keeping information is transmitted to corresponding client terminals 4l-4n from the answering server 2, and is read for display after the client takes his or her seat.
