Abstract

The scanner (1) has an optical lens of glass or a transparent plastics and a diode matrix at the rear of the lens, for scanning telephone numbers in the form of a written or barcode text. The scanned numbers enter an incorporated number memory in digital form, allowing subsequent selection and visual display.

Description

The invention relates to a telephone handset (handset of a base unit, also cordless, or radio telephone) as well as a reader with integrated Scanners, with whose help the direct reading of telephone numbers is possible.

With the usual handsets, radiotelephones (cell phones) and cordless Phones will be entered either using the rotary selector on Base unit or by choice via pushbutton combination on the base unit or Handset carried out. These procedures are concentration-binding and often lead to incorrect connections.

The invention has for its object to a telephone handset create that allows, in addition to its usual functions Record phone numbers from written text or barcode and to be made available for selection.

To solve the problem, the invention provides that the hand apparatus scanner is capable of being written in or in Barcode form to capture existing phone number information and initiate the voting process at the push of a button. The correct registration of the Telephone number information is indicated by an acoustic positive signal in the Handset displayed, an error while reading the phone number is indicated by a audible negative signal made audible. This will make the wrong connection excluded when calling.

Furthermore, remote copiers (fax machines) with additional scanners be equipped, with the help of which it is also possible to find destination numbers in Feed fax machines in order to - like when dialing telephone numbers - Exclude incorrect connections and avoid concentration work.

In the following, with reference to the drawings, execution Examples of the invention explained in more detail:

Show it:

Claims (2)

1. Telephone handset as a readable telephone number recognition device, characterized in that there is an optical lens made of a transparent plastic or glass in the handset of the telephone, the radio telephone or the cordless telephone, behind which an optically active diode matrix is attached, with the help of which telephone numbers from written or barcode text are recorded and fed in digital form into a memory, the query of which in the digital system of the handset represents the respective telephone number in plain text and makes it available for selection. 2. Reader with integrated optical digital detection system after Claim i characterized in that by means of a remote copier Scanner system connected to the cable connection feeds the written text into the facsimile machine.
