Description

  The present invention relates to a telephone device capable of concealing a telephone number.

  Due to the widespread use of mobile phones, telephone directory functions are often provided as standard. Generally, the name and phone number of the other party are registered in the phone book, and when making a call, the phone book is searched for and sent. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of protecting personal information, it is very inconvenient because the other party's information is leaked just by operating the mobile phone and opening the phone book. As a protection measure against personal information leakage, the conventional technology employs key lock of the mobile phone itself or lock by password control.

Patent Document 1 discloses a protection measure against personal information leakage. Patent Document 1 proposes a system that allows a name and a number to be displayed separately in the telephone directory, and requires a password to be displayed when displaying the number.

  However, in the above invention, it is the side that registers the telephone number that determines and executes whether or not to conceal the number. Even if the registered party asks to keep it confidential, it is left to the discretion of the registering party to decide whether it will be protected. An object of the present invention is to give the registered side the right to conceal the number.

  The telephone device with the telephone number concealed of the present invention has a telephone directory in the internal memory, and when a special command is transmitted simultaneously with the incoming signal or when a special command is transmitted during a call, A command is extracted, and the telephone number is stored in a secret telephone directory which is a kind of internal memory, and the stored telephone number is not displayed to the user.

  According to the present invention, the phone number stored in the secret phone book is different from the phone number stored in the normal phone book. For example, even if an unauthorized user refers to the phone book, the phone number is The telephone number cannot be known by not being displayed on the display unit. The same applies to situations where a telephone number is normally displayed, such as outgoing call history and incoming call history.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a telephone according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. A telephone 10, a transmission / reception unit 11, a control unit 12, a phone book 13, a secret phone book 14, a display unit 15, and an operation unit 16 are included.

  The telephone 10 is a telephone that is an object of the present invention, and includes a transmission / reception unit 11, a control unit 12, a phone book 13, a secret phone book 14, a display unit 15, and an operation unit 16. The transmission / reception unit 11 performs a call or the like with another telephone through a line (not shown), and takes charge of transmission / reception control at that time. Also, a special command to be described later is extracted.

  The control unit 12 is connected to the transmission / reception unit 11, the phone book 13, the secret phone book 14, the display unit 15, and the operation unit 16, and controls each of them. The telephone book 13 is one of internal memory areas (not shown) of the telephone, and stores telephone numbers and names registered by the user. The secret telephone directory 14 is one of internal memory areas (not shown), and stores secret telephone numbers, names and the like to be described later. The display unit 15 includes a display and displays various information. The operation unit 16 includes buttons and inputs a dial number and characters.

  Next, the operation will be described. FIG. 2 is an operation flowchart of the telephone when receiving an incoming call with a special command.

  When the telephone 10 receives an incoming call (S102), the transmission / reception unit 11 determines whether it has a special command (S103). Here, the special command is a specific number added after the telephone number.

  In this case, if the line is digital, a special command can be transmitted and received by adding a command after the telephone number, such as sub-address transmission or direct in dial (DID).

  When the line is an IP phone, special command transmission / reception can be operated by using tag information of a command such as SIP INVITE.

  When the special command is not attached (S103, NO), the telephone call is started as usual and terminated (S114, S115). If it has a special command (S103, YES), the telephone number that received the incoming call is temporarily stored in the secret telephone directory 14 (S104).

  In order to indicate to the user that the telephone number has been stored and that the incoming call has a special command, a message such as “Now the incoming call has a special command and is stored in the secret telephone directory” is displayed (S105). ). At the same time, a response message is transmitted to the other party (S106).

  Thereafter, the call is started as usual and the call is terminated (S107, S108). After the call is finished, a confirmation display is displayed on the display 15 such as “Do you want to store the current phone number in the secret phonebook?” (S109).

  Here, the user determines whether or not to store the number. If not stored (S110, NO), the number once stored in the secret telephone directory 14 is deleted, and the process ends (S113). In the case of storing, the user operates the operation unit 16 and inputs information generally stored in the telephone book function such as a name and a group number (S111). The telephone 10 associates the input name or the like with the telephone number, stores it in the secret telephone book 14 (S112), and ends.

FIG. 3 is an operation flowchart when a special command is received during a call. It is determined whether the telephone 10 has received an incoming call and started a call (S203). The transmission / reception unit 11 determines whether a special command is received during a call (S204).

  In this case, a special command can be transmitted by a method such as sending a PB signal during a call.

  If not received (S204, NO), the call is performed as usual, and the call is terminated (S214). If received, the telephone number is temporarily stored in the secret telephone directory 14 (S205). Thereafter, as in the case of receiving an incoming call with a special command, the telephone number is temporarily stored in the secret telephone book 14 (S205), displayed (S206), and a response message is transmitted (S207).

  If a telephone number is displayed on the display of the display unit 15 during a call, it is deleted (S208). Thereafter, the processing from registration confirmation (S210) onward (S210 to S213, S215) is the same as when an incoming call with a special command is received.

  As described above, the phone number stored in the secret phone book 14 is different from the phone number stored in the normal phone book 13, so that the user can use the phone book, the outgoing call history / incoming call history, etc. For example, the control unit 12 performs control so that the telephone number is not displayed on the display unit 15 even if the function of displaying the telephone number is used.

  Information such as telephone numbers and names stored in the normal telephone book 13 can be freely edited and deleted by the user, but information stored in the secret telephone book 14 is freely edited. It is controlled by the control unit 12 so that it cannot be performed. Since the telephone number stored in the secret telephone directory 14 is not displayed, the telephone number cannot be edited. However, other information such as the name is controlled by the control unit 12 so that the information can be edited and the number itself can be deleted.

FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of a telephone. FIG. 2 is an operation flowchart when an incoming call with a special command is received. FIG. 3 is an operation flowchart when a special command is received during a call.
