Cloudification by Simply 'Connecting' Your Current Phone Number: Foonz's Proprietary Technology Obtains Patent

Foonz Inc. (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Representative Director: Junichi Hoshino) has obtained a patent (Patent No. 7804302) for a new technology that allows for AI-powered automated responses and advanced phone handling on PCs, simply by "connecting" equipment, without changing the company or store's current phone number (such as 03 numbers).

This technology is a system that can "automatically read" necessary settings from existing main phone units and immediately connect them to the latest phone systems using AI and PCs. It realizes the "replacement of phone systems," which previously required specialized vendors or difficult IT knowledge, simply by inserting a cable into a small device, dramatically easing phone operations for all companies and stores.

【Patent Overview】

Invention Title: Program, Information Processing Device, Method, and System

Patent Number: Patent No. 7804302

Registration Date: January 14, 2026

Patent Holder: Foonz Inc.

Inventors: Junichi Hoshino, Hirokazu Mori

【Development Background】

Currently, demand is increasing for companies wanting their phones to be "automatically handled by AI" or "received on remote staff's PCs." However, migrating to the latest systems without changing long-used company phone numbers like "03" or "06" required extensive construction or complex settings. We believe that small and medium-sized businesses and stores should not have to give up on "phone automation and efficiency" due to cost or IT knowledge barriers. This patented technology is an invention to make that "first step" the easiest and cheapest.

【Traditional Challenges】

・Barrier of Specialized Knowledge (Difficulty of Setup)

Previously, introducing convenient internet-based phone systems required professional-level knowledge of PCs and networks. For general users and small shops, simply looking at the setup screen was overwhelming, posing a significant barrier to adoption.

・Introduction Barrier (Cost and Contract Complexity)

To use existing phone numbers like "03" with the latest systems, it was necessary to purchase expensive dedicated equipment costing hundreds of thousands of yen. Furthermore, it involved significant costs and effort, such as renegotiating special corporate contracts with telecommunications companies.

・Inconvenience of "Call Forwarding" Barrier

Simple call forwarding services had the drawback that the customer's number was not displayed on smartphone or PC screens, but rather "your company's number," making it impossible to distinguish who was calling. Also, the cost of call charges incurred with each transfer was a major bottleneck.

【Key Points of the Invention (Technical Overview)】

Previously, introducing the latest phone systems involved invisible "barriers" such as complex setup by specialized vendors or the need for expensive equipment. This patented technology completely removes these barriers by simply "connecting a small device with a cable."

・"Initial Setup" Fully Automated

Simply connecting the device with a cable automatically detects the existing main phone unit and reads necessary information like passwords for connection. Difficult setup tasks that humans previously did while referring to manuals are now entirely automated.

・New Concept: Recognized as a "New Phone" by the Main Unit

This device automatically communicates with the main phone unit as a "newly added phone (sub-phone)," smoothly integrating. Therefore, without troublesome contract changes with telecommunications companies or extensive construction, calls can be bridged to the latest systems and AI as they are.

・Collaboration that Delivers "Who is Calling" Information

It delivers calls to the new system while retaining the "caller information (customer's phone number)" which tended to be lost with traditional forwarding services. This enables immediate use of advanced features such as instantly confirming who is calling on a PC screen or having AI automatically handle initial responses.

【Value Provided to Customers (Benefits of Introduction)】

A. Latest System Completed by Simply "Plugging In" the Cable

No need for site surveys by specialized vendors, extensive wiring work, or difficult PC setup. Simply connect the small device you receive with an internet cable, and your current phone number will be reborn into the latest environment.

B. Current "03" etc. Phone Numbers Can Be Used As Is

There is no need to change trusted phone numbers (like 03 or 06) that have been used by your company or store for many years. With the number unchanged, you can enable advanced usage aligned with future work styles, such as automatic phone responses by AI or phone reception on remote staff's PCs.

C. No Expensive Equipment or Contract Changes, Just Low Cost

There is no need to purchase expensive dedicated equipment costing hundreds of thousands of yen or renegotiate high monthly option contracts with telecommunications companies. Therefore, it can be easily introduced even by small shops or small offices struggling with labor shortages and costs.

D. Can Answer Calls Even When Away from the Office, or Delegate to AI

Flexible responses that were impossible with traditional phone systems, such as "ringing the office phone and remote staff's PCs simultaneously" or "having AI automatically take messages when outside business hours or too busy to answer," can now be done very cheaply and easily.
