  However, even in the above technique, it is necessary to press the redial key once after performing an on-hook operation, and it is necessary to definitely press a specific key such as the transmission side redial key or the incoming side redial key, which may cause an erroneous operation. There was a drawback that there was.

  The present invention solves such a conventional problem, and if it is within a predetermined time after the end of the call, without making an on-hook operation, the call to the last caller (outgoing call) or the last call is received. The purpose is to automatically make a call (incoming call) to the other party by a predetermined key operation.

  The device according to the present invention is a telephone device having an auto-dial function, and includes a partner telephone number holding means for holding a partner telephone number during a call, a line disconnection detecting means for detecting a line disconnection, and a predetermined predetermined key. Key operation monitoring means for monitoring presence / absence of operation, and automatic dial means for automatically dialing the telephone number of the other party held in the other party telephone number holding means, wherein the line disconnection detecting means detects the line disconnection. When the predetermined key is operated within a predetermined time after the operation, the other party telephone number held in the other party telephone number holding means is automatically dialed.

  According to the present invention, when there is a forgetting immediately after disconnecting the line, it is possible to perform a predetermined key operation, for example, any one other than the hook button without being aware of whether the disconnected call is an outgoing call or an incoming call. By simply pressing the key, the other party can be called again and the call can be resumed. Therefore, it is possible to provide a telephone device that is easy to operate and is less likely to cause an erroneous operation even if it is operated in a hurry.

Further, it has a key operation monitoring unit 14-1 including a timer for determining the presence or absence of a predetermined key operation, and a partner phone number holding unit 14-2 for storing and holding the partner phone number.
The key input unit 15 passes input from the function buttons 3 and the dial buttons 2 to the terminal control unit 14.
The display processing unit 16 displays the display instruction content from the terminal control unit 14 on the display 4.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the telephone device shown in FIG.
In this flow, the telephone device starts from a standby state (S300), and the incoming call detection unit 11-1 monitors whether there is an incoming call (S301). If an incoming call is detected, an incoming call detection signal is sent to the terminal control unit 14. (S308). The terminal control unit 14 instructs the calling number acquisition unit 13 to extract the calling party number. The calling number acquisition unit 13 extracts the calling number of the other party from the incoming signal, and sends the extracted calling number to the terminal control unit 14 (S309). The terminal control unit 14 deletes the other party telephone number already held in the other party telephone number holding unit 14-2, and newly registers the sent calling number (S310).

  Next, the terminal control unit 14 sends an incoming call signal to the speaker 6 to sound a ringtone (S311). When the operator off-hooks the handset 5, the line control unit 11-4 detects the off-hook (S312) and connects to the telephone line. As a result, the operator can talk with the other party (S313).

In the incoming / outgoing monitoring (S301), if there is no incoming call, the line control unit 11-4 detects the presence / absence of an off-hook (S302), and connects to the telephone line if an off-hook is detected.
The line disconnection detection unit 11-3 detects a dial tone from the telephone line and sends a detection signal to the terminal control unit 14 (S303).
The terminal control unit 14 extracts the other party telephone number input from the key input unit 15 (S304), deletes the other party telephone number already held in the other party telephone number holding unit 14-2, and extracts the other party telephone number thus extracted. A new number is registered (S305).

Next, the terminal control unit 14 sends the extracted partner telephone number information to the dial transmission unit 11-2, and the dial transmission unit 11-2 converts the received information into a dial signal for transmission (S306).
If the other party answers (S307), the operator can talk with the other party (S313).

During a call with the other party (S313), the line disconnection detecting unit 11-3 monitors the line disconnection from the own terminal and the partner terminal and determines that the line is disconnected (S314, Yes), and notifies the terminal control unit 14 of the line disconnection. To do.
The terminal control unit 14 starts the timer of the key operation monitoring unit 14-1 after receiving the notification of the line disconnection (S315), and monitors the presence / absence of a predetermined key operation (S316).
As the predetermined key operation, for example, any key other than the hook operation may be pressed. Thereby, even if it hurries and operates, it is hard to become an erroneous operation.
If there is no predetermined key operation (S316, No), the line controller 11-4 monitors whether the handset 5 is on-hook (S317), and if there is an on-hook, disconnects the line (S319) and is in a standby state. Return to (S300).
If it is not on-hook (S317, No) and the timer of the key operation monitoring unit 14-1 times out (S318, Yes), the line is disconnected (S319) and the process returns to the standby state (S300).

  When the key operation monitoring unit 14-1 detects a predetermined predetermined key operation (S316, Yes), the line control unit 11-4 disconnects the line once (S320), and then connects the line again. Capture (S321). The line disconnection detection unit 11-3 detects a dial tone from the telephone line and sends a detection signal to the terminal control unit 14 (S322).

After receiving the dial tone detection signal, the terminal control unit 14 calls the partner telephone number held in the partner telephone number holding unit 14-2 (S323).
The terminal control unit 14 sends the called party telephone number information to the dial transmission unit 11-2, and the dial transmission unit 11-2 converts the received information into a dial signal and transmits the dialed signal (S324).

  As described above, the operator can hold the handset and do not hook it on, and the call partner can be called without being aware of whether the call that was being made is an outgoing call or an incoming call. It can be called easily. Moreover, even if the call is made immediately after the line is disconnected, it is difficult to cause an erroneous operation. Since this predetermined operation is effective only within a certain time (for example, about 10 seconds) after the line is disconnected, no erroneous transmission occurs during normal use.
