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

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. FIG.
The telephone device is mounted on a personal computer, and has an input device 11 such as a mouse, a data processing device 12 that operates under program control, and a storage device that stores information indicating whether or not to notify a telephone number. File 13
And a storage memory 14 for storing the telephone number of the other party,
And a modem device.

The data processing device 12 includes a telephone number notification selecting section 16, a telephone number input section 17, and a dial section 1.
Eight.

The telephone number notification selecting section 16 gives the operator an opportunity to select whether to notify the other party of the telephone number or not. At this time, on the display screen of the data processing device 12, based on the information stored in the storage file 13, the status of the previous call is displayed.

When the input device 11 inputs to the telephone number notification selecting unit 16 that the telephone number is not notified to the other party, the telephone number notification selecting unit 16
Numerical data indicating “1”, “8”, and “4” is stored in the storage file 13. Also, when an input to notify the other party of his / her telephone number is made from the input device 11,
The telephone number notification selection unit 16 deletes the numerical data indicating “1”, “8”, and “4” from the storage file 13. When there is no input from the operator to the telephone number notification selection unit 16, the storage file 13 continues to hold information based on the previous selection.

The telephone number input section 17 requests the operator to input the telephone number of the other party. And a telephone number input unit 1
When the telephone number is input from the input device 11, the telephone number 7 stores the input telephone number of the destination in the storage memory 14.

When a dial instruction is input from the input device 11, the dial unit 18 refers to the storage file 13. If the storage file 13 has numerical data, the dial unit 18 dials the numerical data, and then dials the telephone number stored in the storage memory 14. The dial unit 18 stores the storage file 1
If there is no numerical data in 3, only the telephone number stored in the storage memory 14 is dialed.

The modem device 15 converts the number from the dial section into a voice signal and sends it to a telephone line.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

When an attempt is made to make a call using the telephone device of FIG. 1, a setting button, a dial button, and a number button (numeric buttons and symbol buttons) are displayed on the display screen of the data processing device 12, as shown in FIG. Is displayed. When the input device 11 is a mouse, the icon on the display screen is moved by moving the mouse itself, and pressing the operation button thereof means that the button on the display screen is pressed. When the input device 11 is a touch panel or the like,
The above button is displayed there, and you can handle it as if you were directly operating it. Hereinafter, description will be given according to the flowchart of FIG.

First, in step S31, the operator determines whether or not to select whether or not to make a number notification. On the display screen, as shown at the bottom of FIG. 2, a display indicating whether or not to notify the other party of the telephone number is made,
The user decides to execute the selection by looking at this display. Here, the previous setting is indicated by ◎.

Next, in step S32, the operator selects whether or not to make a number notification. This is performed by operating the input device 11 and pressing a setting button. By this operation, the state changes from the previous setting state to another setting state. That is, if the previous setting was to notify the other party of the telephone number, the telephone number was set to not be notified, and if the previous setting was not to notify the other party of the telephone number, the telephone number was notified. Set to be. In response to the change in the setting, the data number notification selection unit 16 determines in step S3
In 3 or S34, the storage content of the storage file 13 is changed.

Next, in step S35, the operator presses a number button and inputs a telephone number of the other party. The telephone number input unit 17 stores the input telephone number in the storage memory 14.

Next, when the dial button is pressed, the dial section 18 refers to the stored contents of the storage file 13 in step S36. If there is numerical data in the storage file 13, the dial unit 18 dials the numerical data stored in the storage file 13 in step S37. Then, the dial unit 18 dials the number stored in the storage memory 14 in step S38.

As described above, in the present embodiment, once the setting for notifying the telephone number is made, the telephone number is not changed until the setting for notifying the telephone number is made. It is not necessary to perform an operation of inputting "1", "8", and "4" in the operation.

[0024]

According to the present invention, once the telephone number is set not to be notified to the other party, the telephone number is not notified to the other party in a normal dialing procedure thereafter. It is not necessary to press "1", "8", and "4", and the operation is simplified.
