Abstract

PURPOSE:To contrive to improve the operability by displaying a telephone number dialed in the past onto a telephone number display device in the order of larger dial number at every depression of a retrieval button and depressing a dial button to apply dial control to a telephone number displayed on the telephone number display device. CONSTITUTION:When a user of telephone set depresses a retrieval button 4 and a microprocessor 2 detects the retrieval number (button depression information), the microprocessor 2 displays the telephone number dialed most in the number of times of telephone numbers dialed precedingly on the telephone number display device 1 from a memory circuit 9. The user of a telephone set depresses again the retrieval button 4 if the number is not its object number, the microprocessor 2 displays the telephone number dialed the 2nd largest number of times among telephone numbers dialed in the past onto the telephone number display device 1 from the memory circuit 9. The telephone number displayed on the telephone number display device 1 is sent to a line 6 by depressing the dial button 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a multifunction telephone, and more particularly to a multifunction telephone capable of displaying a telephone number and making a call using that telephone number.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, multi-function telephones have been proposed in which a plurality of buttons are arranged on the telephone and these are configured as subscriber buttons, and one telephone number is stored for each of these subscriber buttons. ing. When the corresponding subscriber button is pressed, this telephone retrieves the pre-stored telephone number of the corresponding subscriber from the internal storage device, and automatically makes a call based on this telephone number. can. Therefore, the telephone operator simply has to press the subscriber button;
Operation can be simplified and speeded up.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the above-mentioned conventional multi-function telephone, it is necessary to provide a subscriber button for each subscriber, so as the number of subscriber telephone numbers to be stored in the telephone's storage device increases, this inevitably results in There was a problem in that the number of subscriber buttons increased and the operation surface of the telephone was filled with subscriber buttons. Furthermore, due to the increase in the number of power buttons, it becomes difficult for a telephone operator to find a corresponding subscriber button, resulting in a problem in that operability is reduced.

Especially in recent multi-function telephones, easy-to-operate and simple designs are preferred, and the above-mentioned problem becomes a fatal drawback of the telephone.

[Means for solving problems]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a telephone that has a simplified design and improved operability by preventing an increase in the number of subscriber buttons.

The multi-function telephone of the present invention includes a memory circuit that stores telephone numbers that have been called in the past and the number of calls made, a search button that sends out a search signal, and a call button that sends out a call signal.
At least a display for displaying a telephone number and a dialing circuit for transmitting a dialing selection signal are connected to a microprocessor, and the microprocessor is capable of transmitting a dialing circuit more frequently than the memory circuit when receiving a search signal caused by pressing down a search button. The telephone number is sequentially read out and displayed on the display, and when a call signal is received by pressing the call button, the dial call circuit is controlled to make a call based on the displayed phone number.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

The figure is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, dial button group 3. The search button 4 and the call button 5 are connected to the microprocessor 2, and each of these buttons sends a predetermined signal when pressed down.
These are read into the microprocessor 2 as button press information.

The microprocessor 2 also controls the telephone number display 1 to display at least a telephone number, and also controls the dialing circuit 7 to send a dial selection signal from the subscriber line end 6 to the telephone office. .

Further, a telephone communication circuit 8 including a handset is used to communicate with the other party through the dial circuit 7 and the subscriber line end 6.

Furthermore, the memory circuit 9 is controlled by the microprocessor 2 and records the telephone number and the number of times the telephone number has been dialed in the past.

In such a configuration, when the telephone user presses the search button 4 and the microprocessor 2 detects this search signal (button press information), the microprocessor 2 stores the number of telephone numbers dialed in the past from the memory circuit 9. The telephone number with the highest number among them is displayed on the telephone number display 1.

The telephone user checks the display 1 and presses the search button 4 again if the telephone number is not the target telephone number.

Then, the microprocessor 2 detects the search signal of the search button 4 again, and the microprocessor 2 detects the search signal of the search button 4 again.
A telephone number display device 1 displays the telephone number with the second highest number of dialed telephone numbers in the past.

Thereafter, while repeating the same operation, when the desired telephone number is displayed on the telephone number display 1, the telephone user presses the call button 5.

When the microprocessor 2 detects a call signal (button press information) caused by pressing the call button 5, the microprocessor 2 causes the dial call circuit 7 to send the phone number displayed on the phone number display 1 to the line end 6. control. As a result, a call is made to the telephone number displayed on the telephone number display 1.

Therefore, in the telephone of this embodiment, by pressing the search button 4 once or multiple times, it is possible to search for a desired telephone number, and it is also possible to automatically make a call to this telephone number. This reduces the number of operation buttons on the phone and simplifies the design.
Moreover, its operability can be improved.

Here, the search button can also be used in conjunction with other buttons. In addition, the phone number and name 9 will be displayed on the display.
The name etc. may also be displayed.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, each time the search button is pressed, the telephone numbers dialed in the past are displayed on the telephone number display in the order of the number of calls made, and when the call button is pressed, the telephone number is displayed. Since the telephone number displayed on the device is configured to control outgoing calls, reducing the number of buttons on the phone and simplifying the design will have the effect of improving operability.
