The private branch exchange 10 switches between an external line (external line) 30 and an internal line (extension line) 40 when connecting each telephone set 20 to a line. When dialing an outside line 30 from each telephone set 20, it is necessary to add “0” corresponding to predetermined information in the claims to the head of the other party's telephone number. When recognizing that “0” is added to the head, the telephone 20 that has made the dial call is connected to the outside line 30.
[0017]
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of the telephone 20. As shown in FIG. 1, the telephone 20 includes a source telephone number receiving unit 1, a modem unit 2, a control unit 3 corresponding to a number adding unit and an analyzing unit according to the claims, and a source telephone number storage unit. , A telephone directory memory 5 corresponding to a telephone directory storage unit, and a transmission unit 6.
[0018]
The source telephone number receiving unit 1 receives the source telephone number sent from the outside line 30. The modem 2 performs a modulation / demodulation process on the telephone number to be transmitted and received, and when receiving the source telephone number, converts the signal of the number into telephone number data that can be processed by the controller 3. When implementing the callback function, the control unit 3 temporarily stores the received caller telephone number in the receiver telephone number storage unit 4 and then stores the caller telephone number stored in the receiver telephone number storage unit 4. Or a telephone number registered in advance in the telephone directory memory 5 and set in the transmitting unit 6 via the modem 2.
[0019]
The received telephone number storage section 4 stores received telephone number data. A plurality of telephone numbers are registered in the telephone directory memory 5 in advance. The transmitting section 6 transmits the telephone number transmitted from the control section 3 and set to the private branch exchange 10. The private branch exchange 10 switches the line as described above, and sends out the telephone number sent from the transmission unit 6 to the line.
[0020]
Next, a dial transmission operation (a dial transmission method) of the telephone 20 having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a dial transmission processing procedure using the callback function.
