Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention temporarily stores telephone numbers, facsimile numbers, etc., or stores a plurality of numbers and destination names as one unit, and calls the destination. In particular, the present invention relates to a destination number storage device that allows arbitrary searching and dialing.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, the destination number used when making an inquiry, such as when arriving at a telephone office, is recorded on memo paper or the like with a writing instrument, and in order to make a call to the destination, it is necessary to use the memo paper. The method is to press the dial keys while looking at the screen (this is called the first method).

In addition, in order to preserve the destination numbers recorded in this way for a long time, a separate telephone number book is prepared, and the contents stored on the memo paper are transcribed into the telephone number book and saved. (This is called the second means).

In addition, when making a dial call or facsimile to a destination saved in this way, the destination name is searched out and dialed while visually checking the corresponding phone number. 3).

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the first means, it is necessary to always keep memo paper and writing utensils next to the telephone, etc., and the usable area of the desk where the telephone, etc. is placed is limited. It is narrowed down. Additionally, dialing while looking at a memo paper was likely to result in incorrect dialing in the case of a number with a large number of digits, such as a long-distance number 8.

In the second method, destination names are generally entered in the alphabetical order, and it is not always possible to fit a new name into the blank space in the alphabetical order. Indeed, there was a problem in that the writing order was disrupted, making it difficult to search.

In the third means, there is a problem that if the registration and storage order is out of order, it takes 1 m to search, and, as in the case of the first means, erroneous dialing is likely to occur.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and includes a part for temporarily storing the destination number and a dial key for the destination number in the part for storing the destination number. A means for inputting the destination number by using the dial and a display means for visually checking the destination number being entered is provided, and the destination number can be entered using the dial keys while checking on the display means during a call (during number matching). (Temporarily memorized) After the input is completed, the call is canceled, and the user then attempts to make a dial call with one key operation. Furthermore, if the temporarily stored destination number is to be stored for a long period of time, a destination name can be added to the destination number before registration. In other words, the destination name is entered by entering letters and symbols such as the 50 syllabary using the dial keys, and each character is given a corresponding code in the order of the 50 syllabary. The destination number is made up of a mode area indicating the operation mode of
5, judging from the arrangement of characters in the character area, by I control means.
The data is stored in the storage means in the order of zero syllables. In addition, when searching for this, the search means sequentially compares the size of the code number starting from the first letter of the destination name, the results are displayed on the display means, and dialing can be made with one subsequent key operation. It is intended to do so.

[Function] Temporarily enter destination number 71 using the dial key! This eliminates the need for writing, allows the destination number to be transmitted with a single key operation, and can be registered together with the destination name for long-term storage.

When searching for a registered address, the code number of the first character of the address is given the greatest weight, and if there is a code number that is the same as the code number of the first character entered for the search, the first character is The search control unit operates to compare the code numbers of the second character and, if there is no code number that is the same as the code number of the first character, to search for a code number with a larger code number.

Address the address by pressing the same key once or once using the dial keys of a telephone, etc. ! You can easily input and search by pressing the button twice. Therefore, even if a large address is stored, it can be retrieved within a short time.

The internal configuration of the storage unit 28 is shown in FIG. 2A and will be described. Second
Figure A (a) shows the position of storage line Y where information including the destination name and telephone number (hereinafter referred to as destination information) is stored, and the leftmost number is the address of storage line Y. (Position) Numbers O to n are shown.

FIG. 2A (b) shows the detailed contents of one memory row from O to n-2 of memory row Y, and the number at the right end is the address number of memory column X. to m are shown. Addresses a-1 from address O to address a-1 of memory string The first to mth areas are areas for storing telephone numbers (hereinafter referred to as numeric area).

FIG. 2A (C) shows the detailed contents of the n-th storage row #, where the number at the right end indicates the storage column X.

This nth is the content of the n-1th from O (Figure 2A (b)
) has different memory information. Memory column X
From the 0th to the m-3rd of the memory column, a code which is predetermined information is stored, and in the mlith memory row of the memory column If up to n-10 are stored, the number of memory rows is 9.) is stored. In the embodiment of the present invention, the registration starts from the n-2nd memory row Y and is sequentially n-3, n-4, and so on.
・・・・・・・・・2.It is configured to advance from 1st to 0th, and in the mth memory column X of FIG. 2A (C), the first memory row number SY (the youngest number, For example, Y=n-2
If Y=n-10 is stored, 5Y-n-
10> is stored. Therefore, whether or not there is a memory row remainder (margin) is determined by the ml-th content S in Figure 2A (C).
It is only necessary to know whether Y is O (the remainder in the above case is n-10 rows from Y=O to Y=n-11).

).

With this configuration, the same control method can be used even if the capacity ω of the storage section is different. However, Fig. 2A(a)
It is also possible to set the number n of 0 to 0, and the registration starts from the 1st, and when 5Y-n is reached, there are no remaining memory rows.

The m-2nd and m-1st in FIG. 2A (C) represent the total number of memory columns X in the memory row Y that are still blank spaces. The first address of the first memory row number SY, that is, the address 0 (X=O) of the memory column X, 5YH-3YL-3

H represents the upper digit (row) of the first memory line number, and SYL represents the lower digit, m-1 and m-2 in FIG. 2A(c), respectively.
SY l-1-S Y L is m of SY
This is because the number is multiplied by +1, so it becomes a large number and needs to be stored separately into high-order digits and low-order digits.

FIG. 2B shows a memory row Y that is exclusively managed by the memo control unit 19.
This shows the contents of -n-1. The structure and stored contents of FIG. 2B are similar to those shown in FIG. 2A (b), except that a fixed character string "-memo-" is written in the character area. Further, the registration control section 16 does not store destination information in this section, and the search control section 18 does not search this section.

FIG. 3A shows that the mode starting section 14 knows the state of the storage section 28 immediately before starting up the registration control section 16 and the search control section 18.
It is a functional mechanism diagram for explaining the operation of initializing to an appropriate state, and FIG. 3B is a flowchart showing the contents of the operation.

In FIG. 3A, 140 is a sign comparison control unit included in the mode starting unit 14 that performs control according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 3B, and 141 is a register (register contents is assumed to be A), 143 is a register for temporarily storing information read from the fixed data storage section 144 (the contents of the register is assumed to be B), 142 is a register 141 and register 14
A comparator 144 which compares A and B, which are the contents of 3, and outputs whether they are equal or not, stores predetermined fixed data, that is, the signs from C0 to Cl1-3 in FIG. 2(C). A fixed data storage section 68a is a part of the transmission path 68 shown in FIG. 144 transmission path, 6
Reference numeral 8b is a part of the transmission path 68 shown in FIG. It is a transmission channel for

FIG. 3B explains a recognition operation for checking the storage state of the storage unit 28 in an initial state where no destination information is registered in the storage unit 28.

First, initialize Y-n and X-0 to indicate the 0th position in FIG. 2 (C) (STEP 151.5 TE
P152). Here, the address of the storage unit 28 of the sign to be read is calculated according to the formula YH-YL-YX (m+1>+X, where YH is the upper address of the storage 12B,
YL indicates a lower address. For example, 2 in Figure 2-(C)
When reading the contents stored at an address, Y-n, X-

” (m-3) -cm-3 is taken into the register 143 (STEP 154>. Next, the comparator 142 compares the contents A of the register 141 and the contents B of the register 143.
TEPI 55), if the result is A-8, add 1 to x (STEP 56), and if X is less than m-3, repeat the comparison of the memory string indicated by X (STEP 157).
N). If X=m-2, all the signs match, so the storage unit 28 is in a normal storage state, and the first storage line number SY or 5YH-3YL is also correct information, and the signs are compared. The control unit 140 is SY
, 5YH-3YL are not changed (STEP 157Y).

At X which is X5m-3 (see Figure 2 (C)) Af

FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B are for explaining the details of the operation of the comparing section 20. The operation of the comparison section 20 is similar to the operation of the sign comparison control section 140 described above with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B. That is, in FIGS. 3A and 4A, the sign comparison control section 140 is connected to the comparison control section 200, the register 141 is connected to the register 201, the comparator 142 is connected to the comparator 202, the register 143 is connected to the register 203,
The fixed data storage section 144 is stored in the temporary storage section 34, and the transmission path 6
8a corresponds to the transmission path 68C, the transmission path 146 corresponds to the transmission path 64a, the transmission path 68b corresponds to the transmission path 68d, and the transmission path 148 corresponds to the transmission path 64b. Here, the transmission path 68G; 6
8d forms a part of the transmission path 68 in FIG. 1, and the transmission path 64a
, 64b form a part of the transmission path 64 in FIG. However, whereas in FIGS. 3A and 8, the target of comparison was the sign in initialization (FIG. 2 (C)), the comparison unit 20 compared =O to X
-a-1) is the subject of comparison.

The details of the operation of the comparator 20 when searching for a destination name will be explained with reference to FIG. 4B.

First, as Y-3Y and X-0 (STEP 221), the comparison starts with the leftmost characters in the character area. Here, the size of the characters is compared using the code values shown in FIG. 10B. Load the character area contents M(X, Y) of the storage section 28 into the register 201 (STEP 222>, and import the character area contents T(X) of the temporary storage section 34 into the register 203 (STEP
223). Next, the comparator 202 compares the contents A and B of the register 201 and the register 203 to find that A<B.
Obtain information on either A=8 or A>8 (STE
P224). If A<B, the comparison control unit 200 adds 1 to Y, and sets X to O (STEP 225).
Proceed to compare characters in the next memory line (STEP 216N)
> At this time, if Y-n is reached, all comparisons have been completed, so the comparison ends as EQ@EO-O (STE
P217). If A=B (STEP 224), Y
Add 1 to X without changing it (STEP 22)
7) The following memory strings are compared (STEP 228).
N), if X becomes X≧a (STEP 228Y
>, since the comparison of character areas is completed and all characters are equal, the comparison control unit 40 sets the information EQ indicating that there is an equal character area to 1 as the output result of the comparison unit 20 (STEP 229 ), are output together with the storage row address Y. On the other hand, if A>8 (STEP 224>), the character area of the temporary storage section 34 is located at an earlier (younger) address than the character area contents of the storage row address indicated by Y in the storage section 28. For example, in Figure 10B, the value of the letter I is smaller than the value of the letter 2, and it is located at a younger address.)
The comparison control unit 200 then stops the comparison operation, sets the above-mentioned EQ to O, and outputs 5TEP226> along with the storage row address Y. FIG. 5A shows the output circuit of the dial signal output when the execution key 109 (FIG. 7) is pressed after the search is completed, and FIG. 11 shows the dial key 11O (FIG. 5A) and the numeric code. It is a figure which shows the relationship between and a dial code. In FIG. 5A, the dial output section 30 receives a telephone number (number 1) from the search control section 18.
iIj,) between x=a+1 and X-m (2nd A
Figure (b)), while sequentially converting the numerical code shown in Figure 11 into a dial code, the light emitting diodes 4038 to 40
The optically coupled phototransistors 402a to 402CI are turned on or off via 3Q. Here, if the dial code in FIG. 11 is O, it is turned on, and if it is 1, it is turned off. Further, codes other than the numerical codes shown in FIG. 11 (for example, blanks) are ignored and not output.

On the other hand, a general telephone has a configuration as shown in Figure 5B, in which a ring tone is emitted when the hook switch is OFF, and a ring tone is emitted when the hook switch is OFF.
When you are in L, you can make phone calls and also make dial calls. Dial key 110 is R
It is connected to the dial transmission circuit 401 through signal lines from 1 to R4 and from C1 to C3. The dialing circuit 401 is often operated with power supplied from a telephone office (v in FIG. 5A). In this case, a separate power supply (FIG. 5a v
In order to transmit a dial signal from a circuit operating in b), coupling by an electric circuit causes problems such as dielectric strength. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, a photocoupler is used to transmit signals. However, if insulation is not required, the photocoupler may be replaced with a simple transistor. In addition, dialing must be possible even when power VB is not supplied to the destination number storage device, so as shown in Figure 5A, a dial key signal is directly sent in parallel with the output of the photocoupler for dialing. circuit 40
1, and the dial key 110 has a double contact so that it is not electrically connected to the key detection section 12. Further, a dial prohibition output unit 32 controls so that a dial signal is not output at the time of registration or search. As is clear from FIGS. 5A and 5B,
A destination number storage device according to the present invention includes a dialing number storage device as shown in FIG. 5B.
Since it replaces the key 110, it is easy to incorporate it into the telephone.

FIG. 5C shows a case where the destination number storage Vt device 45 according to the present invention is built into a telephone (not built-in, but an independent dialing device 46), and by switching the telephone line using switching contacts 47a and 47b, only dialing can be performed. Indicates that it can be used as a device.

FIG. 6 shows the display positional relationship of characters or numbers when the display selection section 36 switches the contents of the temporary storage section 34 and transmits them to the display section 38. The address structure of the temporary storage section 34 is exactly the same as shown in FIG. 2A (b). Note that although the display section in FIG. 6 has one row in the horizontal direction, it may be constructed of two or more rows.

FIG. 10A is a character table in which dial key input and a counter value Z for the number of presses of the same key, which will be described later, are used as factors. In addition to katakana characters, some symbols are also assigned for convenience when creating destination names.In particular, characters can be erased by pressing the dial key "*" once (Z-1). In the case of the Z-6, allocate seven blank characters, and in the case of the Z-6, assign alphabetic characters except when the dial key is "4", "8", or "*", so that even if the destination names are the same, they can be distinguished. This is useful, for example, when the same person has multiple telephone numbers.Character codes for katakana characters and some symbols are shown in Figure 10B, but Character codes for characters not shown in Figure 10B are given according to the 8-unit code table of JISC6220.If you decide to input characters by this method, the maximum value of 2 must be larger than 6. The fact that the number of character types can be increased without limit by
This will be clear from Figure A.

The main parts have been explained above with reference to the drawings, and the registration operation, memo operation, and search operation according to the present invention will be described in detail.

Once the registration key 107 (FIG. 7) of the key input unit 10 is pressed, the information is transmitted to the mode activation unit 14 via the key detection unit 12 in FIG. After performing a recognition operation to confirm the storage state, the registration control unit 16 is activated.

The registration control unit 16 first writes blanks (character code 20 (FIG. 10B)) into all addresses (from X-0 to X-m) in the temporary storage unit 34, and then fills in the mode area of the temporary storage unit 34. (Figure 6), insert the letter ° “T” four times (hereinafter,
This operation is called registration initial setting. ). Since the letter "T" is used only to identify the mode, other symbols or letters may be used.

The registration control unit 16 instructs the display selection unit 36 to initially display the character area, so the display 101 (FIG. 7) included in the display unit 38 displays T1 shown in FIG. 8A. Also, the registration control unit 16 sets x-0 (see FIG. 6) after the registration initialization is completed, so that the cursor is displayed at the leftmost position.

Here, the cursor is transmitted to the display unit 38 through the X transmission path 64 and is always displayed at the position designated by X.

Next, the registration control unit 16 selects the right shift key 103 (seventh
) is pressed, add 1 to X and left shift key 102 (
7) is pressed, subtract 1 from X. However, X
Once = 0, no further subtraction is performed. Also, X=m
Once this happens, no further additions are made (see Figure 6).

Further, when the dial key 110 is pressed, if it is the same key as the previously pressed key, the same key press count counter (not shown) included in the registration control unit 16 is displayed. Refer to the figure.Hereinafter, it will simply be referred to as Z.

) is increased by one. However, when it becomes Z-7, Z=1. Zarani Z is shift key 102 and 10
If 3 is pressed and X changes, or if a different type of dial key is pressed, it is set to Z-1. The character code is obtained by the registration control unit 16 passing the value of the dial key and the value of 7 to the character conversion unit 24, and the character conversion unit 24 converts the characters according to the character table shown in FIG. 10A into number 10B.
It is converted into the character code shown in the figure and returned to the registration control unit 16.

The registration control unit 16 stores the received character code in the temporary storage unit 3.
4, the character is updated every time the dial key 110 is pressed, unless the shift keys 102a and 103 are pressed and X changes, but when X changes, the character written immediately before is It will remain as is.

From T2 to 711 in FIG. 8A is a specific example of inputting "Ishikawa" (the left side shows the input key, and the right side shows the displayed state).

Next, the operation when inputting numbers (telephone numbers) will be explained. When the right shift key 103 is pressed multiple times to reach X-a, the registration control section 4 sets X to X-a +1 and instructs the display selection section 36 to change the display area to a numeric area. Changes in the display contents on the display 101 during this period are shown from T11 to T13 in FIG. 8A. Registration υ1111
When the left shift key 102 is pressed and the value changes from X-a+1 to Input is possible again. Next, the registration control unit 16
= a + 1, the input dial key 1.1
For 0, in order to convert it into the numeric code shown in FIG. 11, the dial key information is passed to the numeric conversion section 26 (FIG. 1), and the numeric conversion section 26 returns the corresponding numeric code to the registration control section 16. Save that numeric code to X in the temporary storage unit 34
Write in the position represented by , then press shift key 10
Increase X by 1 regardless of whether it is 2 or 103. Here, since there is a 1:1 correspondence between the numbers and the dial key 110, there is no need to hold X as in inputting in the character area. The situation during this time is shown from T14 to T16 in FIG. 8A. Note that if a number is entered by mistake, the cursor can be moved using the shift key 102 or 103 to correct the number at the position where the cursor is displayed. After inputting the destination information, press the execution key 09 (FIG. 7) to record the destination information in the storage section 28.

Output with. The registration control unit 16 passes the output to the organizing unit 23. If it is EQ-1, the organizing unit 23 makes the content M of the memory line indicated by Y equal to the content of the temporary memory unit 3 (X, Y) 4 (X), and then notifies the registration control unit 16 that the registration has been completed. Also, if EQ=O, the memory rows from SY to Y-1 shown in FIG. sy>1M 1M M(x mountain> (x, sy+1> M(X, V-2)-") Move the contents of the storage unit 28 as (x, y-1) (X changes from O to m) ), then move the content T(X) of the temporary storage unit 34 to M(x, y-1), M(.

From M y) (x,.-1) is left as before, then 1 is subtracted from the value of SY in Figure 2 (C) to create a new SY,
Subtract m+1 from 5YH-3YL and create a new 5YH-3YL
Then, the registration control unit 16 is notified that the registration is completed. The registration control unit 16 then returns the control right to the mode activation unit 14.

As described above, since the destination information is registered in alphabetical order (code order in FIG. 10B) for all character areas with the same mode area, searching becomes easy.

Although the above description has been made regarding the case where the destination name is expressed in katakana, it is also possible to display it in Roman letters by assigning English letters to each dial key instead of the one shown in FIG. 10A. In this case, the character code is JIS
If defined according to the C6220 8-unit code table,
The contents of the storage section 28 will be arranged in ABC order.

-X When the memo key 106 (FIG. 7) of the key input section 10 is pressed, the information is transmitted to the mode activation section 14 via the key detection section 12 in FIG. 54
is generated, and the memo control unit 19 is activated. Memo system tll

), when the left shift key 102 is pressed, the memo control section 19 instructs the display selection section 36 to display the character area with X set to X-0 (X<a).

When the dial key is pressed next, the registration control section 16
The memo control unit 19 performs an operation similar to that of . At this time, the display becomes, for example, as shown in FIG. 8 from M3 to M5.

When the execution key 109 is pressed after dial '#1 is input, the memorization section 19 sends the iJJ Oll so as to pass only the numeric area of the temporary storage section 34 to the dial output section 30.
do. Thereafter, as described above, the first
When the dial code shown in FIG. 1 is output and the dialing is completed, this is notified to the memo control section 19, so the memo control section displays a numeric area as shown in FIG. 88 M6.

Subsequently, the memo control section 19 selects the memory row Y-n- of the memory section 28.
1, copy the contents of the temporary storage section 34 completely, and return control authority to the mode starting section. Note that if the registration key 107 is pressed during the above operation, that is, before the execution key 109 is pressed,
When a signal 55 is issued, control of the LIJ is transferred from the memo control section 19 to the registration control section 16.

However, at this time, as a special process, the registration control section 16 enters a state in which it responds to character input control without initializing the contents of the temporary storage section 34 to blank. Therefore, the display becomes as shown in FIG. 88 M7.

The subsequent character input is the same as described in the registration operation in 1.

As a specific example of the search operation, it is assumed that the information has already been registered in the storage unit 28 as shown in FIG. 9A. The search operation will be explained below with reference to FIG. 9B.

When the search key 108 (FIG. 7) is pressed, the mode activation section 14 operates as described above and issues the search activation signal 50.

The content M<x, sy> of the storage line indicated by the search control SY is transferred from the storage section 28 to the temporary storage section 34, that is, T, so that the (X) display is as shown in 1 in FIG. 9B. At this time, the mode area is changed to "K" and the cursor is not displayed to distinguish it from the time of registration (Fig. 8).The destination information displayed immediately after pressing the search key 108 is SY as in this case. It may be other information other than the information of the indicated storage line.

Next, select one of the dial keys 110, for example “
When 2'' is pressed, the key information and 7
(Fig. 10A), and from the character conversion unit 24 the character “power” is passed.
The code is sent to the temporary storage section 34 at the x-0 position via the transmission path 64. X=1 to X=a-1
The characters up to this point will not be compared, so write a blank space. Therefore, the display 101 displays as 2 in FIG. 98.

Next, the search control unit 18 instructs the comparison unit 20 to perform a comparison. The comparison unit 20 compares the first storage row address SY (9th
In the case of diagram A, from SY-n-10> to the final memory row address Y-
The comparison is repeated up to n-2 until the contents of the character area and mode area match or become larger than those in the temporary storage section 34, and as a result, EQ and Y are output. 9th B
In the case of the specific example explained in the figure, “the force is °”
The value of the code shown in FIG. 10B is larger than the first character "i" of "Ishikawa". When compared with "I" in FIG. 9B, the first character is equal, so the second character is compared and
Since the second character of is a blank space, comparing this blank with the second character of ゛kaka', the code value of the second character of ``ka-riki'' is larger, so ° ``riki'' is ``riki-ka'' °, and the comparison unit 20 outputs EQ-0, Y-n-9.Next, the search control unit 18 transfers the contents of Y-n-9 to the temporary storage unit 34 and displays it. Since the area is designated as a character area, it is displayed on the display section 61 as shown in 3 in FIG. 9B.

Similarly, if you input the dial key "5", the first character "su" to be searched for will be displayed as shown in 4 in Figure 9B (
Figure 10A), followed by "name" (Y-n-3 in Figure 9A), which has a larger code value than "su" and is the content of the closest character area, as in 5 in Figure 9b. Is displayed.

When the up scroll key 104 is pressed, the search control unit 18 subtracts 1 from the value of Y at that time. For example, in the specific example, the value of Y at that time is Y-n-3, so the contents of the n-4th memory row are stored in the temporary storage section 34 as a new Y= (n-3)-1-n-4. Transcribe.

At that time, the display on the display 101 will be as shown in 6 of FIG. 9B. Similarly, when the up scroll key 104 is pressed again, the screen becomes as shown in 7 in FIG. 9B.

The range in which the value of Y can be increased or decreased by using the scroll key 104 or 105 is from Y-SY (in the case of FIG. 9A, SY-
n-10> to Y-n-2.

Here, a case in which only one key of the dial keys 110 is pressed multiple times will be described in detail. For example, pressing the dial key "2" will display the number 8 in FIG. 9B, as described above. Next, press the dial key “2” again.
” is pressed, Z in FIG. 10A becomes Z-2, so “K” is placed in X-O of the temporary storage unit 34 and comparison starts, but the character area starting with “K” Since it is not shown in Figure 9A, the character area starting with 7°', which has a larger code value than ゛kipa (Y=n-6>, is the output of the comparison unit 2o, and the 9th
It is displayed as 9 in Figure B. When the dial key "2" is pressed further, 7 in FIG. 10A becomes 3, "°'" is placed at X=O in the temporary storage section 34, and the comparison is started.

Since the character area starting with is already displayed, the display does not change as shown in 10 in FIG. 9B. When the dial key ``2'' is pressed, 7 in Figure 10A changes to 4.
is placed at X=0 in the temporary storage section 34, the comparison is started, and the destination information of Y=n-5 (FIG. 9A) is retrieved, and the result is displayed as 11 in FIG. 9B.

After searching for the desired destination name using the operation method described above,
When the execution key 109 is pressed, the search fee wJ section 18 controls to pass only the numeric area of the temporary storage section 34 to the dial output section 30. Thereafter, as described above, the dial code shown in FIG. 11 is output from the dial output section 30, and when the dialing is completed, the search control section 18 is notified of this, so the search control section 18 performs the dial code shown in FIG. 11 as shown in FIG. After displaying a numeric area so that the operator can confirm the number, control is returned to the mode starting section 14.

[Second Embodiment] The first embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but with reference to FIG. This will be explained with reference to FIG.

FIG. 12 shows only the portions of FIG. 1 that have been changed to realize the second embodiment.

However, the key input section 10, the display section 38, the display selection section 36,
The temporary storage section 34 is the same as that shown in FIG. Input key information transmitted from the key input section 10 through the transmission path 61 is sent to the transmitting section 81, the transmission line 82, and the receiving section 83.
The input key information is transmitted as input key information to the mode activation section 14 of the destination number storage device, etc. through the transmission means comprised of the following. Phone number after that! The operation of the No. 11 device is the same as that of the first embodiment. On the other hand, the contents written in the temporary storage section 34 are supplied to the transmission section 88 through the display selection section 36, and the value of X indicating the cursor position (character input position) is supplied to the transmission section 88 through the transmission path 64. 87, and is transmitted to the display section 38 through a transmission means constituted by the receiving section 86. 72a is a transmission path for transmitting character or numerical information, and 64c is a transmission path for transmitting the value of X.

Specifically, this second embodiment can be considered to be applied to a button telephone device, etc., but in a button telephone Vc@, the dial generation section is generally placed in the main device that performs the overall υ control. In many cases, the destination number storage device according to the present invention can also be placed in the main device. Further, in the button telephone device, press information on dial keys or control keys is transmitted from the terminal telephone to the main device via a transmission path, and display information is transmitted from the main device to the terminal telephone via the transmission path. Therefore, in order to realize the second embodiment according to the present invention, newly:
There is no need to cross the transmitting section, transmission path, and receiving section; the control key information required by the destination number storage device according to the present invention is added to the input key information, and the display information includes information specific to the button telephone device. In addition to the information, input information to the storage section described above may be additionally transmitted, and the information may be received through the mediation of a control section originally built into the key telephone device.

Further, when making a dial call, the dial call is made by passing a dial prohibition output and a dial code from the destination number storage device to a control section built in the key telephone device. In this case, the dial code does not have to be the dial code shown in FIG. 11, but may be in other information format, such as a decimal code.

[Effects of the Invention] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but by providing a control section that performs a memo operation in addition to the registration search operation, the following useful functions are produced. First, if you input the dial number in advance using a memo operation before making a call, you can check and correct the dial number while looking at the display screen. After setting the correct dial number, press the execution key 109 to ensure You can make dial calls. This function is a so-called preset dial function. Second, when making a call, especially when the destination number is being arranged at a telephone office,
Dial key 110 while talking by pressing key 106
By pressing , you can write down the destination number without using paper. After making a note, - cancel the carrier call and press the execution key 1.
If you press 09, you can immediately dial the destination. This function is called the memo/dial function. Thirdly, if you need to use Shun's 50 syllabary search for the destination number you memorized using memo operation, press the registration key 107 during memo operation to register the destination number, enter the destination name in the character area, and then execute. key 10
If you press 9, the information will be organized and registered in alphabetical order. Also, if you register without entering the destination name, the destination name will be registered as "-Memo-", so there is no need to save it for a long time, but if you do not input the destination name, you can save it for a long time. This is effective if you need to temporarily memo and save the destination number in case you need to use it for other requirements.

Fourthly, when the execution key 109 is pressed, the memo control unit 19 stores the temporary storage unit 34 after dialing is completed.
The contents of the message are stored in the memo area, so the most recently dialed destination number is always remembered.

On the other hand, in the memo operation, the contents of the memo area are transferred to the temporary storage section 34 at the beginning of the operation, so the most recently dialed destination number is entered in the numeric area.

Therefore, by pressing the memo key 106 and then pressing the execution key 109, the most recently dialed destination number will be dialed. This function is effective when you try to dial again after a while if the other party is busy or does not respond when you make the first dialing call.
