Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In order to implement the present invention, the communication terminal should be provided with a circuit as shown in FIG. 1, a microphone (MIC), a CPU (1), a memory (2), an LCD module (3), an A / D conversion circuit (4). ) And a voice recognition circuit (5). The A / D conversion circuit 4 converts the analog voice signal applied from the microphone MIC into a digital voice signal and outputs the digital voice signal to the voice recognition circuit 5 side, and the voice recognition circuit 5 The digital voice signal applied through the A / D conversion circuit 4 is recognized. The CPU 1 controls various operations for speed dialing, and the memory 2 stores voice information applied from the voice recognition circuit 5 and telephone number information applied via the CPU 1 from the keypad. The LCD module 3 displays information related to speed dialing under the control of the CPU 3.

The present invention stores only one main phone number or a plurality of sub phone numbers as necessary, by recognizing and storing the voice information for selecting the corresponding main phone number or sub phone number, the main phone number by voice Or to select and dial a sub phone number automatically in multiple steps.

When storing only the main phone number without a sub phone number for one party, the sub identification code (the sub phone number is stored as '11' because there is no sub phone number) and A / D converted voice information for selecting the main phone number (Corresponding to the name and name of the other party) and the phone number (up to 12 bytes) corresponding to the main phone number input by the keypad, so that the input voice is converted to A / D when the voice is input for dialing. When one voice information and stored voice information are compared, the phone number stored together is read out and dialed automatically.

In case of storing a plurality of sub phone numbers for one party, the sub identification code (the sub phone number is stored as '00'), and the A / D converted voice information for selecting the main phone number ( Name, name), the phone number corresponding to the main phone number entered by the keypad (up to 12 bytes), and A / D converted voice information (home, office, factory, mobile phone) for selecting the sub phone number. , PCS, etc.) and the phone number corresponding to the sub phone number input by the keypad, together with storing a plurality of sub phone numbers to be added, so that the input voice is stored when the voice is input for dialing. D The converted voice information and the stored voice information are compared, and if they are identical, the phone numbers stored together are read out and dialed automatically.

On the other hand, when storing the phone number entered through the keypad in the memory (2) by assigning and storing 4 bits to each number up to 12 bytes (ie, up to 24 numbers in each phone number) When the user inputs a voice through a microphone (MIC), the voice is digitally converted by the A / D conversion circuit 4.

An operation process of the present invention configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 2.

First, when a user inputs a main phone number through the keypad of the communication terminal and inputs the name of the other party (for example, Hong Gil-dong) corresponding to the main phone number (step ST1), the communication terminal Outputs the voice message 'Please enter your phone number' through the speaker and displays the text message corresponding to the voice message on the LCD.In this case, if the user wants to store only the main phone number without storing the sub phone number, (Step ST2) The communication terminal immediately stores the voice of the voice input 'Hong Gil Dong' and the corresponding phone number in the memory (step ST3), and if the user wants to enter the sub phone number (step ST2), the user stores the keypad. Press the button. Therefore, when the communication terminal outputs the voice message 'Save voice' through the speaker, it inputs the name 'Hong Gil Dong' through the microphone and presses the Save button on the keypad. To the storage device (step ST4). After that, when the communication terminal outputs the voice message 'Please press # after entering the sub phone number' through the speaker, the user inputs the desired sub phone number through the keypad and press the '#' button on the keypad. The telephone number is stored in the memory (step ST5). If the communication terminal outputs a voice message 'Please input voice' after storing the sub phone number, the user inputs a voice to select the corresponding sub phone number and presses the save button on the keypad to correspond to the sub phone number. The input voice is stored (step ST6). If there is a sub phone number to be stored again after step ST6 (step ST7), the operation from step ST5 to step ST6 is repeated to store another desired sub phone number and the voice of the corresponding sub phone number in the communication terminal as well. If there is no sub phone number to be stored again in step ST7, the user presses the save button on the keypad to finish storing the phone number.

As described above, after storing the main phone number and the sub phone number and the voice for selecting the corresponding main phone number and the sub phone number, the user off-hooks the communication terminal or turns on the speaker phone for the phone call. In this case, the communication terminal outputs a dial tone through the speaker (step ST8). At this time, if the user inputs a voice by saying 'Hong Gil Dong' to the transmitter of the communication terminal (step ST9), the communication terminal compares the voice data of the A / D conversion with the voice data stored in the memory and determines whether the voice is identical. (Step ST10). If the voice data input in step ST10 and the stored voice data match, the communication terminal checks whether or not the sub phone number is stored with respect to the correspondent "Hong Gil Dong" (step ST11). If stored, the subphone number is displayed on the LCD at the same time as the dial tone is output through the speaker as when off-hook or the speakerphone is turned on again (step ST12). At that time, if the user inputs a voice such as 'home', 'company', 'mobile phone' or 'PCS' into the talker of the communication terminal (step ST13) to select the sub phone number, It is judged whether or not the voice stored in the memory is matched (step ST14). If it is determined to match, the phone automatically dials the stored sub-phone number corresponding to the voice and checks whether the corresponding party is busy (step ST14). ST15). If the other party is busy, the communication terminal outputs the dial tone to the speaker again after a predetermined time elapses, and enables the other party to talk to the other party (step ST16). On the other hand, if the voice data called 'Hong Gil Dong' input from the stem ST10 does not match the stored voice data, the communication terminal sends an error message with an error tone to inform the user that there is an error in the voice input (step) ST17). If the sub phone number is not stored in step ST11, the communication terminal immediately dials the main phone number corresponding to the 'Hong Gil Dong' step (step ST18). In addition, when the voice for selecting the sub telephone number does not match the voice stored in the memory in step ST14, the communication terminal sends an error message with an error tone to inform the user that there is an error in the voice input. By zooming (step ST19), the user can input voice again to select and dial another sub telephone number.

That is, in the present invention, only one main phone number is stored for one party or a plurality of sub phone numbers are stored together as necessary, and voices are recognized and stored together with voice information for selecting the corresponding main phone number or sub phone number. Since the main phone number or the sub phone number is automatically selected and dialed by the multi-step, the plurality of phone numbers are individually set to speed dial the counterpart having a plurality of phone numbers as in the conventional communication terminal. In order to save and search separately, speed dialing or speed dialing, the user does not need to operate the buttons on the keypad to improve the convenience of using the communication terminal.

As described above, the present invention stores a plurality of telephone numbers for one counterpart associatively and speed dials by selecting a plurality of telephone numbers in multiple stages by voice input, so that speed dialing can be conveniently used. It will improve convenience.
