Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an easily usable and economic telephone system by previously storing telephone directory data composed of telephone number identifying codes corresponding to item numbers, names, and data associated with the names and reading out telephone numbers corresponding to the item numbers and converting the telephone numbers into dial signals when the item numbers are inverted. CONSTITUTION:Input data are transmitted to a character data generating section 5 by means of a start address sent from a display controlling section 4 and the input data are converted into bit data of characters and displayed on a display 6. The data displayed on the display 6 are telephone directory data composed of item numbers, telephone numbers, names, and other associated data. When one item number is inputted from an input operating section 3, an automatic transmission controlling section 7 sends a speaker code for connecting a line to a dial code sending section 8 and, at the same time, extracts the character code of the telephone number corresponding to the inputted item number after discriminating the character code from the identification codes before and after the character code. The section 8 converts the character code into a dial code and sends the dial code to a communication network through an interface circuit 1.

In FIG. 1, a digital telephone device 10 of the present embodiment includes an interface circuit 1 connected to a communication network and controlling input/output of data to and from the communication network, a telephone call circuit 9 connected to the interface circuit 1, and a dial code sending unit. 8, an input operation section 3 composed of a dial button and a display movement button, a display 6 that displays alphanumeric information, a character data generation section 5 that generates character data to be displayed on the display 6, A character code storage section 2 in which character codes to be sent to the character data generation section 5 are stored, and a display control section that controls the storage of character codes in the character code storage section 2 and the display start position based on input from the input operation section 3. 4, and is composed of a section number, a telephone number, a telephone number identification code, a name, and other incidental data, is stored in the character code storage section 2, and the input operation section 3 inputs the section number. When input, the character code of the telephone number corresponding to the item number is converted into data for the dial code transmitting unit 8 using the telephone number identification code in the character code storage unit 2, a line connection signal is added, and the dial code is transmitted. 6. Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

The interface circuit 1 extracts the data portion of the signal transmitted from the communication network, and if this data is display data, stores the character code and other display data in the character code storage section 2. Or, by input data from the input operation section 3,
In some cases, the display control section 4 creates display data and stores it in the character code storage section 2. The character code stored in the character code storage section 2 is sent to the character data generation section 5 in response to a start address signal sent from the display control section 4, where it is converted into character bit data and displayed on the display 6. will be held.

In this display data, telephone directory data composed of entry numbers, telephone numbers, names, and other incidental data is displayed on the display 6. In this case, the telephone number shall have an identification code at the beginning and end. The automatic call control unit 7 searches the contents of the character code storage unit 2, and when it determines that this is telephone directory data, when the item number is input from the input operation unit 3, the automatic call control unit 7 disconnects the line. In addition to sending the speaker code for connection to the dial code sending unit 8, the character code of the telephone number corresponding to the input item number is extracted by determining it from the identification codes before and after it, and this is converted into a dial code.
