Description

[0001]
[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a telephone directory data transfer method, a communication system, and a communication apparatus.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Some communication devices such as mobile phone devices and cordless phone devices in recent years have a telephone directory function.
[0003]
The telephone directory function is a function that can store a destination telephone number and name (kanji data or “kana” data) in a storage device in pairs based on a user input operation.
[0004]
When making a call to the other party using a communication device having such a telephone directory function, the user displays the name of the other party stored in the storage device on the display unit and displays it on the display unit. By selecting a desired name from the names that are displayed, it is possible to easily make a call without performing a dial operation.
[0005]
In addition, when registering the same telephone number in a plurality of communication devices, it is necessary to perform a telephone number registration operation (dial input) on each device. In order to eliminate such annoyance, a technique has been proposed in which the telephone number of the other party stored in the storage device of the parent device is transmitted wirelessly between communication devices (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 10-101). 173756).
[0006]
Furthermore, a cordless telephone device that can transmit the data of the name of the other party (kanji and reading) stored in the storage device between the parent device and the child device is also commercialized.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In a normal cordless telephone device, it is possible to add a cordless telephone if it is a handset of the same manufacturer. However, since the extension slave unit is an old model, it is possible to display “Kana” data on the display unit of the extension slave unit but not to display Kanji data. When the master unit transmits Kanji data to the extension slave unit having a display unit that cannot display Kanji in this way, a transmission error occurs when data is transmitted / received between the master unit and the slave unit, and the slave unit cannot receive the phone book data.
[0008]
In such a case, the user has to perform an operation for inputting telephone directory data to the slave unit.
[0009]
If kanji data cannot be displayed on the display unit of the master unit and kanji data can be displayed on the display unit of the slave unit, “kana” is required from the master unit side to the slave unit side. Only data is transmitted, but if both Kanji data and “Kana” data are not transmitted, the slave unit does not receive the data, so a transmission error occurs between the master unit and the slave unit.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention is for solving such problems, and transmits phone book data corresponding to the display function of the slave unit from the master unit to a slave unit having a display unit that cannot display kanji data. Provided is a communication device capable of processing.

The transmitted signal (NO.2 ACK) is transmitted to base unit 100.
[0071]
In steps S6 to S7, the flag data (E) transmitted from the slave unit 500 is stored in the storage unit 120 of the master unit 100.
[0072]
Thereafter, in step S8, control unit 250 of base unit 100 determines whether or not display unit 580 of handset 500 can display kanji data based on the flag data stored in storage unit 120. Kanji data or “Kana” data is transmitted to the slave unit 500.
[0073]
In this embodiment, since the flag data stored in the storage unit 120 is off, the control unit 250 controls the transmission / reception unit 130 to include “kana” data in the phone book data (D) area. And a data signal (kana) with flag data (E) turned on is transmitted to the slave unit 500 (step S8).
[0074]
On the other hand, when the control unit 590 detects a signal indicating that the data signal (kana) has been received from the transmission / reception unit 510, the slave unit 500 side controls the transmission / reception unit 510 to flag data (E) of the received signal. Is transmitted to the parent device 100 (step S8).
[0075]
In this way, one phone book data is transmitted from the parent device 100 to the child device 500.
[0076]
When a plurality of phone book data are stored in the storage unit 120, the operations in steps S6 to S8 are repeated for the number of cases.
[0077]
Thereafter, in step S <b> 9, control unit 250 of base unit 100 controls slave unit 130 to transmit a signal indicating that transmission of the phone book data has ended to handset 500.
[0078]
As described above, when transmitting phone book data from parent device 100 to child device 500, information indicating whether or not it is possible to receive kanji data is transmitted from child device 500 to parent device 100. Further, base unit 100 can control whether or not to transmit kanji data to handset 500 based on the received information.
[0079]
For this reason, if the receiving device cannot display Kanji but can display “Kana”, the transmitting device transmits only “Kana” data together with the telephone number data in accordance with the function of the receiving device.
[0080]
As a result, it is possible to avoid the problem that the telephone book data cannot be received because the receiving side apparatus cannot display the kanji data.
[0081]
Note that even if the sender of the phone book data cannot display kanji and can display “kana”, and the receiver can display both “kana” and kanji, the sender can send phone number data and “kana” data. Needless to say, the receiving side apparatus may not only display the received “kana” data in the live data display area c of the display unit but also the kanji data display area d. May be.
[0082]
In the present embodiment, the flag data (E) is provided in the telephone directory data. However, other transmission / reception such as data transmitted / received on the control channel is transmitted as information indicating whether or not kanji data is transmitted. A configuration may be provided for data.
[0083]
Furthermore, in this embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which a plurality of phone book data are transmitted and transferred. However, only one phone book data may be transferred, and in this embodiment, phone book data can be transferred from the parent device 100 to the child device 500. However, the phone book data may be transferred from the child device 500 to the parent device 100.
