DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a telephone device having a data communication function for performing data communication with a center device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional telephone device of this type has an auto-login function for automatically performing a connection procedure with a center device before starting communication with the center device. This connection procedure automatically sends an ID, a password, and the like to the center device. When a predetermined keyword is received from the center device, data corresponding to the keyword, that is, data such as the password registered in advance is transmitted. The data is transmitted to the center device. The telephone device is provided with a display, and the screen on the display can be switched and displayed in units of one screen. Data indicating the next screen is transmitted from the center device during connection with the center device. Automatically switch to the next display screen when it arrives and display it (automatic switching mode)
Or to switch and display manually (manual switching mode)
Can also be set respectively. Note that such screen data coming from the center device is automatically stored and stored in the memory.

[0003]

However, if the next screen data is received from the center device during auto login,
When the manual switching mode is set, it is necessary to manually switch to the next display screen, and there is a problem that the operation is troublesome. In addition, although the screen data coming from the center device during the automatic login has the same contents, it is stored every time the screen data arrives, so that there is a problem that the memory capacity increases.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve such a problem, the present invention provides a determination means for determining whether or not a connection procedure is being performed by an auto-login function, and a determination that the connection procedure is being performed by the determination means. Control means for controlling the display means for switching and displaying the display on a screen basis and automatically switching and displaying the screens sequentially. When it is determined that the connection procedure is being performed by the determination means,
And control means for disabling an automatic screen saving function for automatically saving received data from the center device to a memory.

[0005]

During the auto-login, the display on the display is automatically and sequentially switched for each screen. Also, during the auto-login, the received data is not stored in the memory.

[0006]

Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of a telephone device with a data communication function according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a CPU for controlling the entire apparatus, 2 is a ROM for storing programs, 3 is a DRAM, 4 is an SRAM for storing various data, 5 is a clock section, and 6 is a memory card I / O.
An F unit 7 is a memory card including a ROM 7a, a RAM 7b, and a battery 7c for holding data stored in the RAM 7b, and 8 is a printer I / F unit. Reference numeral 9 denotes a display unit composed of an LCD control unit 9a (display means) and an LCD unit 9b, 10 denotes a key unit, 11 denotes a communication unit, and 12 denotes a communication unit which includes a modem (not shown) and performs data communication. . E is the SRAM4
A battery that holds data stored in a speaker, SP is a speaker,
HS is a handset, L is a telephone line, and SW is a switch for switching the telephone line L to one of the communication unit 11 and the communication unit 12.

When the telephone apparatus performs data communication with the center apparatus, it goes off-hook and then operates the key unit 10 to make a dial call to call the center apparatus via the telephone line L, and when the center apparatus answers. The switch SW is switched to the communication unit 12 side, and a predetermined connection procedure is automatically performed with the center device by the auto-login function. After the connection procedure is completed, a transition to normal data communication is made.

FIG. 3A is a diagram showing a display example of the registration status of each item of auto login in which a predetermined connection procedure is automatically performed prior to communication with the center device. In the setting items of such an auto login, there is no data to be transmitted at the time of data transmission to the center device, and a setting of a waiting time when data is transmitted after a predetermined time [of FIG. 3 (a)], there are eight items for each center device, and for each item, data received from the center device and transmission data corresponding thereto are set. When data from the center device is received at the time of connection with the center device, the connection procedure is automatically performed by returning the corresponding transmission data to the center device. Then, during the auto-login, as shown in FIG. 3B, a connection procedure status with the center device, that is, a communication-in-progress screen showing data exchange with the center device is displayed on the LCD unit 9b.
"Auto-login is in progress" is always displayed at the bottom of the LCD unit 9b. The above-mentioned communication screen displayed on the LCD unit 9b is displayed by the LCD control unit 9a.
When the screen data of the next page is received from the center device, for example, the CPU 1
It controls the CD unit 9a to automatically switch to the screen display of the next page. In addition, during the automatic login, the above-mentioned communication screen may not be displayed on the LCD unit 9b.

Next, FIG. 2 is a flow chart of the CPU 1 in the telephone device showing a detailed connection operation with the center device. That is, a dial call is made to the center device (step 100). When connection with the center device is confirmed in step 101 and display data from the center device is received, in step 102, it is determined whether or not the auto login function is set. In this case, if the auto-login function is set, "auto-login" is displayed on the LCD unit 9b. When there is no data to be transmitted to the center device and the waiting time is being set ( “Y” in step 104)
Is a judgment of time-up of the waiting time (step 105)
If you have n’t set a wait time,
Proceeds to step 106, where "received data = setting data"
, That is, whether or not transmission data corresponding to the reception data from the center device is set.

If such transmission data is set, the "transmission data present?" In step 107 is also "Y". In this case, a CR (carriage return) code is transmitted to the center device together with the corresponding transmission data. (Step 108), and the process proceeds to Step 110. When the set waiting time has elapsed and the time-up at step 105 is determined to be “Y”, it is determined at step 107 that “transmission data exists?”, And if there is no data to be transmitted to the center device, Transmit only CR code (Step 1)
09). Here, if the received data from the center device is the data of the second screen, the determination of “went to the next page” in step 110 is “Y”, and in this case, the screen is automatically switched to the display screen of the next page (step Along with 111), it is determined in step 112 that "there is next received data?"
Then, the same processing as described above is performed, and if there is no received data, the display of the automatic login is deleted (step 113), and the processing shifts to the normal communication.

Also, when data arrives from the center device, the auto-login function is not set at that time, and
If the received data is, for example, the data of the second screen, the determination in step 120 is “Y”. In this case, if the screen switching is the automatic mode, the screen on the LCD unit 9b is automatically switched to the next screen (step 122), and if the screen switching is the manual mode, the display indicating that the next screen is present is displayed on the LCD unit 9b. 9b
Perform the above, and shift to normal communication. In the case of the manual mode, the screen is manually switched to the next screen.

If the data from the center device is not the screen data of the next page ("N" in step 120)
In the case of (1), it is determined in step 124 whether or not the received data is automatically saved. If the automatic saving mode is set, the received data is saved in the SRAM 4. As described above, since the screen of the LCD unit 9b is automatically switched according to the data received from the center device during the automatic login, the operation is simplified, and the fact that the automatic login is being performed is always displayed. The operation unnecessary period can be notified to the user. Also, since the received data is not automatically saved, the memory (SRAM4) capacity can be saved.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, when it is determined that the connection procedure based on the auto-login function is being performed, the display of the display is automatically switched sequentially in units of screens. There is an effect that the operation becomes unnecessary and the operation is simplified. In addition, since the received data is not stored in the memory during the automatic login, an increase in the memory capacity can be suppressed.
