Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a communication terminal device capable of performing a transmission operation with a one-touch key in which a telephone number is registered in advance, and particularly to registration and deletion of a one-touch key.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional facsimile apparatus with one-touch keys, registration of a new telephone number to a one-touch key is performed for an unregistered empty key or for a registered key that is no longer used. Overwrite. on the other hand,
When deleting a registration, the key is returned to an unregistered empty key after deletion, so that another telephone number can be newly registered.

As described above, the conventional facsimile machine is
The operation of registering or deleting a one-touch key does not fluctuate the key number by moving up or down, thereby preventing inconvenience in subsequent operations.

[0004]

However, in the one-touch key of the type in which a plurality of overlapping panels are turned and operated, the operation panel 8 is narrow as shown in FIG. And the like must be held by hand (FIG. 2B), so that the second and subsequent sheets are more difficult to operate than the first sheet.

In such an apparatus, if registration and deletion operations are repeatedly performed, the number of unused destinations and unused keys becomes one.
There are two destinations that are left on the sheet or frequently used
The operability is further deteriorated because the state may be registered after the first sheet.

In recent years, there are many facsimile machines that can be operated with a touch panel such as a liquid crystal display. However, the name of the destination or the abbreviation is displayed on the one-touch key display on the touch panel. The disadvantage that the operation becomes difficult is reduced.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a communication terminal device which can use one-touch keys efficiently and has excellent operability.

[0008]

According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a communication terminal device, comprising: a memory for registering a destination telephone number in correspondence with a plurality of one-touch keys;
When registering a new phone number to one of the already registered one-touch keys, the phone number registered in the one-touch key to be registered and the subsequent one-touch keys are changed from a smaller number key to a larger number key. Registration means for sequentially deferring and re-registering.

[0009] Thus, the telephone number of the most important destination or the frequently used destination can be assigned to the small number one-touch key which is easy to operate.

In the communication terminal device according to the present invention, when a destination telephone number is registered in correspondence with a plurality of one-touch keys and a telephone number of an already registered one-touch key is to be deleted, the deletion is attempted. There is provided registration means for sequentially re-registering the telephone numbers registered in the one-touch keys after the one-touch key by sequentially increasing the key numbers.

When the registration is deleted, the keys following the deleted key are moved forward, so that the one-touch keys with small numbers that are easy to operate are not left unoccupied, and the one-touch keys can be used efficiently. Can be.

According to a third aspect, when the telephone number registered in the one-touch key is reserved for use, registration or deletion of the first or second aspect is prohibited.

[0013] Thereby, rewriting of the one-touch memory caused by deferring or raising can be prohibited, and troubles such as erroneous transmission during use reservation can be prevented.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a communication terminal device according to the present invention. Here, the configuration of the facsimile apparatus F is shown as a communication terminal apparatus, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a facsimile apparatus having an e-mail function and a copy function may be used.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a CPU and the like.
The control unit 2 includes a registration unit that controls the following units and registers and deletes one-touch keys. The control unit 2 sends a dial signal to the telephone line L and performs connection control for the telephone line L.
CU, 3 is a modem for modulating and demodulating signals for performing facsimile communication, 4 is an image memory for temporarily storing image data, 5 is a RAM constituting a storage unit for storing various data, and 6 is a control program. R stored in advance
OM, 7 is a display unit composed of a liquid crystal display or LED, 8 is an operation unit having various operation keys, 9 is a reading unit for reading an image from an original, 10 is a facsimile received and stored in the image memory 4 This is a recording unit that prints out images and the like on predetermined recording paper.

The operation unit 8 is provided with a plurality of one-touch keys 8a capable of one-touch transmission to a destination telephone number.
(Described later in FIG. 2), a registration key 8b for registering the one-touch key 8a, a deletion key 8c for deleting, and a replacement key 8d for performing registration replacement of two registered one-touch keys. The RAM 5 is provided with a one-touch memory 5a corresponding to the one-touch key 8a.

The registration key 8b and the deletion key 8c are
The operation can be switched between an insertion mode in which the operation is deferred and advanced and re-registered, and a non-insertion mode in which the operation is not deferred and advanced and re-registered.

The facsimile apparatus F encodes the image of the original read by the reading section 9 and then temporarily stores the image in the image memory 4.
While transmitting the image data to the other party's facsimile machine or the like via the modem 3 and the NCU 2, when the image data is received, the received image data is temporarily stored in the image memory 4, sequentially read and decoded, and Performs the basic operation of printing.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the one-touch key 8a. The one-touch key 8a shown here is one in which a plurality of one-touch panels including a plurality of one-touch keys are stacked and installed on the operation unit 8, and a user turns a panel one by one to perform a target key operation (FIG. 2 (a),
(B)). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2B, the user must operate the second and subsequent sheets, for example, while holding the dotted line portion with his hand. Operation is difficult compared.

In the present invention, registration of the one-touch key 8a,
When deleting, the keys after the key to be registered and deleted can be shifted and re-registered. As a result, the frequent transmission destination is not often displayed on the first panel with good operability. A destination that is not transmitted can be easily registered and changed in the second and subsequent panels.

For example, in the case of the one-touch key 8a shown in FIG. 2, when the telephone number is registered in the abbreviated numbers "00" to "19", the destination telephone number frequently transmitted is set to "0".
7 ”, the registered“ 07 ”~
"19" is deferred to "08" to "20" and re-registered,
To delete the registered “09”, delete the registered “1”.
"0" to "19" are moved up to "09" to "18". When “08” and “18” are exchanged, “0”
Only the replacement of "08" and "18" is performed while the registration of "9" to "17" is left as it is.

As described above, a destination to be frequently transmitted can be registered in the first panel while repeating registration, deletion, and replacement operations.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing changes in the one-touch memory 5a at the time of registration, deletion, and replacement. FIG.
(B) shows deletion and (c) shows replacement.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of a basic operation when a new telephone number is registered in one of the one-touch keys 8a.

When one of the one-touch keys 8a is selected and the registration key 8b is operated (101), the insertion mode is selected (102), and the keys following the selected number are not reserved for communication. In the case (105), insertion registration as shown in FIG. 3A is executed as long as an empty key exists (107 to 112).

In the case of the non-insertion mode, if already registered, overwriting is registered, and if not registered, new registration is executed (102 to 104, 112).

If a communication reservation is being made, an insertion impossible message is output (105, 106) so that the registered contents of the reserved key are not changed by re-registration.

By this registration operation, it is not necessary to search for a vacant key to perform registration, and the convenience is improved.
Frequently used destinations can be preferentially registered to smaller numbers, and one-touch keys can be used efficiently.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of a basic operation when deleting a telephone number registered in the one-touch key 8a.

When the number of the already registered one-touch key 8a is selected and the delete key 8c is operated, (20
1) The mode for packing numbers is selected (20)
2) If the key after the selection number is not reserved for communication (204), the corresponding key registration is deleted and re-registered (206 to 209).

If the mode for reducing the number is not selected, the corresponding key registration is only deleted and no re-registration is performed (202, 203). If a communication reservation is being made, a deletion impossible message is output (204, 20).
5) The registered contents of the reserved key are not changed by re-registration.

By this deleting operation, the one-touch key of a small number which is easy to operate does not have to be left in an empty state, so that the one-touch key can be used efficiently.

As described above, by repeating the one-touch key deceleration and deceleration operations by the registration and deletion operations, frequently used destinations can be assigned to keys with a small number (for example,
The registration can be concentrated on “00” to “19” in FIG.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the basic operation when the two registered keys of the one-touch key 8a are exchange-registered.

In this case, the registration of the two designated keys is only exchanged, and the carry-down and carry-up operations are not executed (301 to 305).

[0037]

As can be understood from the above description, the communication terminal device according to the first aspect of the present invention allows a new destination telephone number to be inserted into a registered one-touch key for registration. It is not necessary to search for and register, and the convenience is improved. Frequently used destinations can be preferentially registered to a small number so that one-touch keys can be used efficiently.

According to the second aspect, when the registration of the one-touch key is deleted, the registration is advanced and re-registered. Therefore, it is not necessary to leave the one-touch key of a small number that is easy to operate in an empty state. Can be used efficiently.

According to the third aspect, when any of the already registered one-touch keys is operated for registration and deletion during communication reservation, the registration and deletion are not executed. It is possible to prohibit rewriting of the one-touch memory caused by decrement or decrement, thereby preventing trouble such as erroneous transmission.
