[0027]
The processing of the above display method will be described with reference to FIGS. The setting process of the name display comparison data and the conversion / deletion selection data will be described with reference to FIG.
[0028]
First, the key telephone 3 is set to the data setting mode (step S1). Next, the command number of the comparison data is input (step S2). Thereafter, the item number of the comparison data area to be registered, for example, # 01, # 02 is input (step S3). Next, conversion / deletion selection data for selecting conversion or deletion is input (step S4). Thereafter, data to be compared, for example, a stock company, a limited company, etc., is input (step S5). Thereafter, the operator determines whether or not to use the data as conversion data (step S6). If the operator uses the conversion data (Yes), the operator inputs the conversion data, for example, (shares) (step 7). The registration operation is performed and the data is stored in the setting data storage area 151 (step S8). If it is not used as the conversion data in step S6 (No), the process proceeds to step S8 to execute a data registration operation.
[0029]
It is determined whether or not the registration of all the conversion / deletion data to be registered has been completed (step S9). If the conversion has been completed (Yes), a data setting mode end operation is performed (step S10), and the standby mode is set. Return. If it is determined in step S9 that there is data to be registered (No), it is determined whether the item number in the comparison data area is valid, that is, whether or not other data can be registered (step S9). S11) If it is valid (Yes), after inputting the next item number (step S12), the process returns to step S4 to register the next data.
[0030]
If the item number of the comparison data is not valid (No) in the determination of step S11, an error is displayed on the display unit 36 (step S13), and when the operator performs an error display canceling operation (step S14), Returning to S2, a registration operation is performed.
[0031]
In this way, the conversion / deletion data can be registered in the setting data storage area 151 of the key telephone main unit 1 in advance.
[0032]
Next, a processing method of performing the display method of the present invention using the conversion / deletion selection data set by the processing of FIG. 3 will be described. When there is an incoming call on the outside line and the name display data is received (step S21), the first name display comparison area of the received name display data is selected (step S22). The data in the name display comparison area is compared with the name display data stored in the setting data storage area 151 by the processing of FIG. 3 (step S23).
[0033]
It is determined whether or not the two do not match (step S24). If they match (No), the conversion / deletion selection data of the corresponding name display data is checked (step S25), and it is determined whether or not the conversion is performed. (Step S26). In the case of conversion (Yes), a corresponding conversion data area is selected (step S27), and the data in the name display conversion data is set in the display buffer provided in the work storage area 152 by the number of data (step S28). ). Next, name display data following the digit following the matched data is set in the display buffer (step S29). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S33 to determine whether or not the number of data digits in the display buffer is larger than the number of digits of the display unit 36.
[0034]
On the other hand, if the two do not match in step S24, the next name display comparison area is selected (step S30), and it is determined whether the selected comparison area is invalid, that is, whether the number of comparisons has been completed. (Step 31). If the area is not invalid, the process returns to step S23 to compare with the next data. If the number of comparisons is completed in step S31, the name display data is set in the display buffer (step S32), and it is determined whether or not the number of digits of the data in the display buffer is larger than the number of digits of the display unit 36. (Step S33). If it is determined in step S33 that the number of digits of the data in the display buffer is greater than the number of digits of the display unit 36, the display state is set to the second state, for example, the display state flag is set to 1 (step S34), and the display area is displayed. The data at the display buffer position corresponding to the position of the last digit is converted into black-and-white inverted data (step S35). Next, data for the number of digits in the display area is copied from the top of the display buffer to the display area (step S37). Thereafter, the data in the display area is transferred from the telephone transmission unit 12 to the key telephone 3 (step S38) and displayed on the display unit 36 of the key telephone 3 (step S39).
[0035]
If it is determined in step S33 that the number of digits of the data in the display buffer is within the number of digits of the display area, the display state is set to the first display (step S36), and the process proceeds to step S37 described above.
[0036]
If it is determined in step S26 that the conversion / deletion selection data is not conversion, that is, if the data is deletion (No), name display data of the next digit after the comparison match is set in the display buffer (step S40). Move to S33.
[0037]
In this way, when an outside line arrives, the name display data having more digits than the display unit 36 is displayed in a stepwise manner, a common part of the name display data is converted into a shortened form, and a part which can be deleted is deleted and displayed. It can be displayed in the unit 36.
[0038]
Next, a process when the number of digits of the data in the display buffer is larger than the number of digits of the display unit 36 (when the number of display digits overflows) will be described with reference to FIG. When the name display data of the key telephone 3 is displayed on the display unit 36 (step S51) and the line feed key is depressed (step S52) by the processing of step S39, the key telephone main unit 1 checks the current display state. (Step S53), referring to the display state flag, it is determined whether or not the display state is the second display state (ie, the overflow display state) set in Step S34 of FIG. 3 (Step S54).
[0039]
If the display state is the second display state representing the overflow display state in step S54, the display area is cleared (step S55), and data in the display buffer after the current display data digit number is set in the display area (step S54). S56). Next, the display state is set to the third display state which is the remaining data display state (step S57), and the data in the display area is transmitted from the telephone transmission unit 12 to the key telephone 3 (step S58). The key telephone 3 displays the remaining data sent from the display unit 36 (step S59).
[0040]
If it is not the second display state representing the overflow state (No), it is determined whether the state is the third state displaying the remaining data (step S60). When the display state is the third display state, the display data is set to the display area by the number of display area digits from the first data in the display buffer (step S61), and the display state is set to the second display state (step S62). The flow shifts to S58, where the data in the display area is transmitted from the telephone transmission unit 12 to the key telephone 3.
[0041]
If it is not the third display state in step S60, the process proceeds to step S59.
[0042]
Here, a method of using each area of the memory 15 in the key telephone apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG. In the working storage area 152, a name display data reception buffer for storing name display data received from the outside line 5 is formed. The setting data storage area 151 compares the name display data received from the outside line, and stores a conversion / deletion selection data of whether to convert or delete the data when they match with each other. A name display conversion data area for storing data is formed. The item number of the name display conversion data area is set corresponding to the item number of the name display comparison area. A display buffer and a display area are further formed in the work storage area 152. The display buffer is an area for storing display data for the key telephone, and is also an area for storing whether the first to m-th digits are displayed, or whether the m + 1-th and subsequent digits are displayed. The display area is an area for storing data to be transmitted to the key telephone.
