The present invention relates to a call pick-up system and method for a
switching device that makes selective call pick-up possible by using
caller information. In particular, by including a caller information
analysis block in a subscriber call process block of a switching device,
when multiple subscribers belonging to a same call pick-up group receive
calls at the same time, the present invention makes it possible to search
for the ringed subscribers, receive caller information from the relevant
subscribers, and provide the caller information to call pick-up
subscribers. In this manner, selective call pick-up is enabled. This is
appropriate for offices having multiple telephones. Further, according to
the present invention, it is possible to choose to give up the call
pick-up.
