2. Description of the Related Art Generally, when a dial call is made by an ISDN telephone, a dial number of a destination associated with a dial input operation of a user is collectively set in a called number information element in a call setup message on a control channel. Later, a process of transmitting the call setup message to the ISDN line exchange at a time is required.

In dialing, it is assumed that the user performs a dialing operation slowly, and every time a digit of a dial number is input, an input delay of about several seconds is required until the next digit is input. The time is set, and the input delay time prevents the call setup message from being erroneously transmitted to the line before the input of all digits of the dial number is completed.

For this reason, in the conventional ISDN telephone, even if the user finishes inputting all the digits of the dialed number, the call setting message is not sent to the line until the above-mentioned grace period elapses, and Depending on the situation, you may feel annoyed by the waiting time during this time.

In order to avoid the above-mentioned waiting time for dialing, some conventional ISDN telephones have a start button for immediate dialing before the input delay time has elapsed. This forces the user to perform an additional operation other than the dial input operation, that is, an operation of pressing the start button, which also causes a decrease in the operability of the ISDN telephone.

[0006] In particular, when considering the type of use of this type of start button, all the operations related to dial transmission are completed when all the digits of the dial number have been input to ordinary users. It is recognized that the line connection has not yet been established despite the completion of the dial input operation, unless the immediate start of dialing from the beginning is required It is usually done when the user notices.

In order to deal with the problems described above,
Among recent ISDN telephones, for example, Patent No. 27
As in the invention disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 91614, by predicting the number of digits at the end of dialing (the total number of digits of a dial number) in the process of dialing operation, the number of dialing digits involved in the dialing operation can be reduced. Some callers immediately transmit a call setting message when the number of dialed digits is reached, and eliminate the pressing operation of the start button.

More specifically, the disclosed invention measures the interdigit non-input time (the time from the input of one digit of a dial number to the input of the next digit) during the dial input operation, and Calculate the appropriate interdigit non-input time by performing a fuzzy operation using the actual measurement value and the number of dialed digits as membership functions, and then calculate the appropriate interdigit noninput time without performing the dial input operation. When the time has elapsed, a required dial call is made.

[0009]

By the way, in the disclosed invention described above, dialing is immediately performed when an appropriate interdigit non-input time elapses. Even if it is desired to input the sub-address continuously after inputting the dial number, there is almost no input grace time for that, and the sub-address cannot be actually input.

Therefore, the method of transmitting a dial number by pressing the start button should not be excluded. Rather, the start button and its peripheral functions are improved so that when the dial input operation is completed, We think that a method to make the user aware of this should be introduced.

In the disclosed invention described above, when calculating an appropriate interdigit non-input time for recognizing the number of digits at the end of dialing, the actually measured value of the interdigit non-input time and the number of dial input digits are used as membership functions. A special method is used, such as performing a fuzzy operation.

Here, the main objects to be solved by the present invention are as follows.

That is, a first object of the present invention is to provide a dial ending digit capable of inputting a sub-address with a margin while optimizing the dial number transmission timing by predictively and automatically recognizing the dial ending digit number. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for automatically recognizing a number and a recording medium on which a program for automatically recognizing the number of digits at the end of a dial is recorded.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for automatically recognizing the number of digits at the end of a dial capable of visually displaying the completion of a dial input operation, and a recording of a program for automatically recognizing the number of digits at the end of a dial. It does not provide media.

A plurality of dial input buttons 11 for receiving a dial input operation from a user; a start button 12 for a manual start operation; a light emitting display unit 13 including LEDs (light emitting diodes); a reset button 14; Buttons 15 (volume “high” and “low”), a plurality of function buttons 16, a plurality of button function display tables 17, and a screen display 18 are provided. Of the components provided on these panels, those directly involved in the implementation of the present invention are mainly the dial input button 11 and the start button 1.
2 and a light emitting display unit 13.

The other components are the same in structure and function as those provided in a normal ISDN telephone, and therefore the description is omitted. In the case of an intelligent terminal, a general-purpose terminal, or a computer terminal, the dial input button 11 is a keyboard, the button function display unit 17 and the screen display unit 18 are also used for a computer-mounted screen, and the function buttons 16 are eliminated. Alternatively, a click input by moving a cursor may be performed using a mouse or the like.

Of the above components, the dial control unit 1 performs overall control related to dial information generation, and the dial input unit 2 (including the dial input button 11)
The dial input operation from the user of the ISDN telephone β is accepted.

Under the control of the dial control unit 1, the recognition dial buffer 3 converts the number values up to the first few digits of the dial number input from the dial input unit 2 for automatic recognition of the number of digits at the end of dialing. accumulate.

The number table storage section 4 is referred to by the dial control section 1 and is used for automatic recognition of the number of digits at the end of dialing as shown in FIG. 3 (a diagram showing the contents of the number table storage section 4 shown in FIG. 1). A record comprising a recognition dial number to be provided, an automatic recognition enable / disable flag indicating whether or not automatic recognition of the number of digits at the end of dialing for the recognition dial number is possible, and fields relating to the number of digits expected to be dialed for the recognition dial number. Is stored. In addition,
The plurality of records stored in the number table storage unit 4 can be set for maintenance.

More specifically, regarding the number table storage unit 4, the field of the dial number for recognition in a plurality of records includes the area code ("0460", "0 ***") of the general telephone line and the ISDN line. Local area code ("2 *
* ~ 9 ** "), the mobile phone and PHS calling station number (" 0
10 "), domestic telephone company's calling number (not shown), international telephone company's calling number (" 001 "), 100's calling number (" 1 ** "), and various special services provided by core telephone companies Number ("184", "0120",
(“*” Means an arbitrary number).

In the field of the automatic recognition enable / disable flag, “○” indicating that the dial end digit number can be automatically recognized and “X” indicating that the automatic recognition cannot be performed are stored. That is, in the case of a normal dial number for recognition, the number of digits at the end of dialing can be automatically recognized in accordance with the type, so "O" is set, and the dial number for recognition is the calling station number of an international telephone company (for example, "001"). In the case of ")", the number of digits of the telephone number of the destination differs depending on the country, and the number of digits at the end of dialing cannot be automatically recognized.

Further, in the field of the number of digits at the end of dialing, "3" or "1" specified from the dial number for recognition is used.
The number of digits at the end of dialing such as "0" is stored. However, if the recognition dial number is "184", "-1"
In the case of “2 ** to 9 **”, “(self phone number digits−
(The number of digits of the local area code) ”is stored (details will be described later).

On the other hand, the transmission timer value storage unit 5 is referred to by the dial control unit 1, and as shown in FIG. 4 (a diagram showing the contents of the transmission timer value storage unit 5 shown in FIG. 1), the number table storage unit The dial buffer for recognition includes two types of transmission timer values for setting a waiting time until dialing according to the value of the automatic recognition enable / disable flag stored in No. 4 and a number value up to the first few digits of the dialed number. Before and after being stored in the storage unit 3, two types of input timer values for setting a grace time for inputting the dial number in the dial input unit 2 are stored. The transmission timer value storage 5
The two types of transmission timer values and the two types of input timer values stored in are settable for maintenance.

That is, regarding the two types of transmission timer values,
The first outgoing timer to be applied when "number of dialed digits automatically recognized" and "after the number of dialed digits" in the state of "number table collation match", that is, when the number of dialed digits can be automatically recognized. In the case of "2 seconds", "Timer after end digits", and "Number table collation match", "No dial end digits automatically recognized", that is, the dial end digits cannot be automatically recognized. The second to apply in case
"Automatic non-recognition timer" of "4 seconds" as the transmission timer value.

Note that the value of the timer after the end digit number is
Even if the sub-address for N is continuously input through the dial input unit 2, the value is a necessary and sufficient value ("2 seconds") so that dial transmission is not automatically performed during each non-digit input time. The value of the no-stop timer is a necessary and sufficient value ("4 seconds") so that even if each digit of the dial number is continuously input through the dial input unit 2, the dialing is not automatically performed during the non-input time between digits. ").

As for the two types of input timer values,
In the case of "number table collation mismatch", that is, "20 seconds" as a first input timer value to be applied before the number values up to the first few digits of the dial number are stored in the dial buffer 3 for recognition. In the case of "matching mismatch timer" and "number table matching match" in the case of "the number of digits to be dialed is automatically recognized" and "less than the number of digits to dial", that is, the number value is stored in the dial buffer 3 for recognition. The second input timer value to be applied after the accumulation is “10 seconds” and “timer less than end digit number”.

The timer 6 is controlled by the dial control unit 1 to select one of a timer after the end digit stored in the transmission timer value storage unit 5, a timer without automatic recognition, a collation mismatch timer, and a timer with less than the end digit. One is set, and the corresponding call waiting time or input delay time is counted.

On the other hand, the own telephone number storage 7 stores the ISDN
All the digits of the own telephone number assigned to the telephone β are stored, and the own area code storage unit 8 stores the own area code assigned to the area where the ISDN telephone β is installed. The own telephone number and the own area code stored in the own telephone number storage unit 7 and the own area code storage unit 8 can be changed in maintenance.

The download unit 9 changes the contents of the number table storage unit 4, the own telephone number storage unit 7, the own area code storage unit 8, and the transmission timer value storage unit 5 described above. Then, under the control of the dial control unit 1, the relevant data relating to the setting change is downloaded from a remote maintenance management center (not shown) connected through an ISDN line (not shown). The download unit 9 can download required download data in response to both a user operation or a regular incoming call from the maintenance management center.

Further, the number change table storage 10 stores
As shown in FIG. 5 (a diagram showing the contents of the number change table storage unit 10 shown in FIG. 1), a recognition dial number used for automatic recognition of the number of dial end digits, and a dial end digit corresponding to the recognition dial number An automatic recognition flag indicating whether the number can be automatically recognized, the expected number of digits at the end of the dial for the recognition dial number, and the date and time of the setting change (“1999.1.1.20:00”, “1999.1”). .
1.00 ”) can be stored in a plurality of records (each of which will be described later).

Then, under the control of the dial control unit 1, the light emitting display unit 13 transitions to a state in which a manual start operation of dial transmission by the start button 12 is possible until the standby time counted by the timer 6 elapses. Visually indicate what you have done.

Here, the control function of the dial control unit 1 for each component described above will be described as follows.

First, the dial control unit 1 stores in the number table storage unit 4 a recognition dial number that matches the first several digits of the dial number stored in the recognition dial buffer 3. If there is a record that includes an auto-recognition enable / disable flag in the record, the value of the automatic recognition enable / disable flag indicates that the number of digits at the end of dialing is automatically recognizable (“可能”). ), The timer value (“2 seconds”) after the end digit stored in the transmission timer value storage unit 5 is set in the timer 6, and the timer value after the end digit counted by the timer 6 Until the first call waiting time corresponding to
The light emitting display unit 13 is driven.

At this time, the dial control unit 1 drives the light emission display unit 13 to blink, and when a manual start operation (press operation) of dial transmission is performed on the start button 12, the light emission during the blink is performed. The driving of the display unit 13 is stopped, or the driving of the light emitting display unit 13 is stopped when the first transmission waiting time elapses without the manual start operation of the dial transmission being performed. Dial transmission is automatically performed at the same time as the transmission standby time of 1 elapses.

Secondly, if the subaddress for ISDN is continuously input through the dial input unit 2 (dial input button 11) after the dial number is completely input, the dial control unit 1 sets the above-described first call waiting time. The timer value ("2 seconds") is set again in the timer 6 after the end digit number for obtaining the sub-address based on the user's recognition, and then the end digit set in the timer 6 again. When the manual start operation is performed before the first transmission standby time corresponding to the value of the timer has elapsed, the dial transmission is forcibly performed, or after the end digit number set in the timer 6 again. When the first transmission waiting time corresponding to the value of the timer elapses, the dial transmission is automatically performed.

Thirdly, the dial control unit 1 sets the number values up to the first few digits of the dial number input from the dial input unit 2 as a number for outgoing dial non-notification included in various special service numbers ( If it is recognized by referring to the contents of the recognition dial buffer 3, the outgoing dial non-notification number stored in the recognition dial buffer 3 is temporarily deleted, and The number values up to the first few digits of the dial number input from the dial input unit 2 following the dial non-notification number are again stored in the recognition dial buffer 3, and are stored in the recognition dial buffer 3 again. The plurality of records stored in the number table storage unit 4 are referred to using the stored number values.

Fourth, the dial control unit 1 confirms that the number values up to the first few digits of the dial number input from the dial input unit 2 are the local office numbers of a general telephone line and an ISDN line. When the recognition is performed by referring to the contents of the recognition dial buffer 3, the number of digits of the own telephone number stored in the own telephone number storage unit 7 is used to determine the number of the own area code stored in the own area code storage unit 8. The number of digits after subtracting the number of digits is recognized as the number of digits to end dialing.

Fifthly, the dial control unit 1 stores in the number table storage unit 4 a recognition dial number that matches the first several digits of the dial number stored in the recognition dial buffer 3. If the record exists,
Refer to the value of the auto-recognition enable / disable flag in the record, and if the value of the auto-recognition enable / disable flag is a value ("x") indicating that the number of digits at the end of dialing cannot be automatically recognized, the transmission timer value The value of the timer without automatic recognition (“4 seconds”) stored in the storage unit 5 is set in the timer 6, and the second transmission standby time corresponding to the value of the timer without automatic recognition counted in the timer 6 elapses. If the digits following the first few digits of the dial number are successively input through the dial input unit 2 before the call, the value of the timer without automatic recognition for obtaining the second call waiting time (“4 seconds”) ) Is set again in the timer 6, and after the last digit of the dial number based on the user's recognition is input, the second outgoing call waiting time corresponding to the value of the timer without automatic recognition reset in the timer 6 elapses. Before you manually When the start operation is performed, the dial transmission is forcibly performed, or when the second transmission standby time corresponding to the value of the automatic recognitionless timer set in the timer 6 has elapsed, the dial transmission is performed. Automatically.

Sixth, when the dial control unit 1 recognizes that the first digit of the dial number has been input from the dial input unit 2 by referring to the contents of the recognition dial buffer 3, the dialing timer value storage unit The timer 6 sets the value of the collation mismatch timer (“20 seconds”) stored in the timer 5 until the first input grace time corresponding to the value of the collation mismatch timer counted by the timer 6 elapses. , The number values up to the first few digits of the dial number from the dial input unit 2 are allowed to be input.

Seventh, the dial control unit 1 refers to the contents of the recognition dial buffer 3 and recognizes that the digits following the first several digits of the dial number have been input from the dial input unit 2. When the transmission timer value is stored,
The timer value (“10 seconds”) stored in the timer 6 is set in the timer 6, and before the second input grace time corresponding to the timer with the number of digits less than the end digit counted by the timer 6 elapses, When the digits following the first few digits of the dial number are successively input through the dial input unit 2, the value (“10 seconds”) of the timer less than the end digit number for obtaining the second input delay time is set. The timer 6 is set again, and the updating process of the timer 6 is repeatedly executed until the dial number reaches the dial end digit number.

Eighth, when the download data is downloaded by the download unit 9 together with the date and time of the setting change, the dial control unit 1 temporarily stores the downloaded data in the number change table storage unit 10 and stores the downloaded data in the number change table. The execution date and time indicated by the download data once stored in the storage unit 10 ("1999.1.1.2:0
0 ”,“ 1999.1.1.00 ”, etc.), the contents of the number table storage unit 4 are updated based on the download data.

Thus, the required dial end digit number automatic recognizing device α and the ISDN telephone β incorporating the same are constructed.

(Example of Method) Next, an example of a method applied to the automatic dial end digit number recognition apparatus α (and the ISDN telephone β) according to the apparatus configured as described above will be described.

<Outline> As is clear from the above description of the apparatus example, the processing performed by the dial control unit 1 is divided into “processing other than during a call” and “processing for each call”. The details of each process will be described below after an overview of each of these processes.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the procedure of the processing performed in the example of the method of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, in this example of the method, “processing other than during a call” and “processing for each call” are performed.

Of these, in processing other than during a call,
When the own telephone number and the own area code are changed (for example, when relocating), the contents of the own telephone number storage unit 7 and the own area code storage unit 8 are reset by the user of the ISDN telephone β, or Download from the maintenance management center.

On the other hand, when download data for changing the contents of the number change table storage section 10 is downloaded from the maintenance management center, the number change table storage section 1 is changed in accordance with the contents of the download data.
0 is rewritten, and the field of “execution date and time” in the number change table storage unit 10 is periodically checked. Update the contents of

On the other hand, in the process for each call, ISD
Each time a digit of the dial number is inputted from the user of the N telephone β, the number table storage section 4 is referred to (look-up table logic) to operate the dial end digit number automatic recognition function. Thus, the transmission timer value and the input timer value according to the processing status are selected, and the necessary dial transmission control is performed.

[Process for Each Call] Next, the “process for each call” outlined above will be described (for convenience, “the process other than for a call” will be described later).

In the process for each call, there are a state of "no press dial", a state of "number table collation mismatch", and a state of "collation table match". Hereinafter, the processing in each of these states will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the processing in a state where there is no press dial.

As shown in the figure, in the state where there is no press-down dial (ST-A), when a user of the ISDN telephone β inputs a dial number through the dial input unit 2 (ST1), dial control is performed. The unit 1 stores the input number value in the dial buffer 3a for transmission (ST2) and also stores the number value in the dial buffer 3 for recognition (ST3). Then, the dial control unit 1 performs the dial input operation by the user when selecting and obtaining the number values up to the first few digits of the dial number to be input thereafter, after the first digit of the dial number is input. The value of the collation mismatch timer (“20 seconds”) for obtaining the first input grace time is set in the timer 6 (T) so that the first input grace time is set before the preset first input grace time elapses. (ST4), and makes the process transit to the state of number table collation mismatch (ST-B).

On the other hand, there is no press dial (ST-
In the state A), if no dial input is made by the user of the ISDN telephone β, and if the timer T has elapsed without any operation by the user (ST5), the dial control unit 1 connects to the line. A BT (Busy Tone) is transmitted (ST6), and the line is disconnected to make it "empty" (S6).
T7). Here, the initial setting value of the timer T that starts when a receiver (not shown) goes off-hook is, for example, “20”.
Seconds ".

Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the processing in the state where the number table collation does not match.

As shown in the figure, in the state of the number table collation mismatch (ST-B), when the user of the ISDN telephone β receives a further input of the dial number through the dial input unit 2 (ST11). The dial control unit 1 additionally stores the input number value in the outgoing dial buffer 3a (ST12), and additionally stores the number value in the recognition dial buffer 3 (ST13). Then, the dial control unit 1 compares the current contents of the recognition dial buffer 3 with the fields of the recognition dial numbers in a plurality of records stored in the number table storage unit 4 (collating in order from the top). Then, it is determined whether or not the state is "number table collation match" (ST14).

Here, as a result of the above determination, when the state is not "number table collation match"(ST14;
N), the dial control unit 1 performs the above ST11 to ST13
Is executed again (ST14; Y), and the field of the number of digits at the end of the dial corresponding to the recognized dial number in the number table storage unit 4 is obtained. To determine whether the value is “minus” (ST15).

The reason why the number of digits at the end of the dial is minus (“−1”) is that the dial number for recognition is “18”.
In this case (ST15; Y), the dial control unit 1 temporarily cancels the outgoing dial number non-notification number, and subsequently inputs the dial number. In order to selectively obtain the number values up to the first few digits again, the recognition dial buffer 3 is cleared (ST16), and the process is shifted to the state of no pressing dial (ST-A).

On the other hand, the number of digits at the end of dialing is not negative, but is "10", "9", or "-(no setting)".
In the case of (ST15; N), the dial control unit 1 shifts the processing to the state of number table collation matching (ST-C).

In the above processing, since the collation mismatch timer of “20 seconds” is set in the timer T, it is not enough to select and acquire the first few digits of the required dial number within that time. It can be done with.
During the time, the user presses the start button 12
Is pressed by mistake (ST17) or the timer T
Has elapsed (ST18), the dial control unit 1
Causes the process to transition to the outgoing (ST-D) state.

Next, FIG. 9 is a flow chart for explaining the processing in the state where the number table matches.

As shown in the figure, in the state of the number table collation matching (ST-C), after the number value of the first few digits of the dial number is selectively obtained from the user of the ISDN telephone β. If the dial number is entered (S
T21), the dial control unit 1 additionally accumulates the inputted number value in the outgoing dial buffer 3a (S21).
T22). At this time, since the selection and acquisition of the number value of the first few digits of the dial number has already been completed, it is not necessary to accumulate the number value inputted this time in the recognition dial buffer 3 (the same applies hereinafter). ).

Next, the dial controller 1 determines whether or not to perform automatic recognition by referring to the field of the automatic recognition enable / disable flag corresponding to the previously recognized recognition dial number (ST23). If the value is “○” and it is determined that automatic recognition is to be performed (ST23; Y),
By referring to the contents of the outgoing dial buffer 3a, it is determined whether or not the number of digits to be dialed by the user's dial input operation has reached the number of digits to end dialing specified in the number table storage unit 4 (ST24). ).

Here, as a result of the above determination, if the number of digits at the end of dialing has not been reached (ST24; N), the dial control unit 1 determines that the number values up to the first few digits of the dialed number have not been reached. In order to allow the user to perform a dial input operation after the selection and acquisition is performed for each digit following the first few digits of the dial number before the preset second input grace time has elapsed, The value of the timer (“10 seconds”) less than the end digit number for obtaining the second input delay time is set in the timer 6 (T) (ST25).
The processing of 21 to ST24 is repeatedly executed.

As a result of repeatedly executing the above processing, when the number of dialed digits reaches the number of dial end digits (ST24; Y), the dial control unit 1 notifies the user that the dial input operation has been completed. The light emitting display unit 13 is caused to blink (ST26).

The dial control unit 1 sets the first transmission standby time in order to set the input reception time of the ISDN sub-address and the associated flashing light emission time for visual display on the light emission display unit 13. The timer value ("2 seconds") after the end digit number to obtain is set in the timer 6 (T) (ST27), and immediately after that, the user deliberately presses the start button 12 (ST28), or When the timer T has elapsed (ST29), the dial control unit 1 shifts the processing to the state of transmission (ST-D).

Here, if the sub-address for ISDN is continuously input in the state after the completion of the above-mentioned dial number input, the dial control unit 1 executes the following process in ST21 every time each digit of the address is input. In the process of ST27, the timer T is reset to the initial value, and when the last digit of the subaddress based on the recognition of the user is finally input, the forcible transmission by pressing the start button 12 in the process of ST28 or the process of ST29 The transmission of the required sub-address is performed after the automatic transmission by the elapse of the timer T ("2 seconds") in the processing.

In the process of ST24, when it is determined that the number of digits entered in the dial has reached the number of digits at the end of the dialing, the previously recognized identification dial number is changed to "local" in a general telephone line or ISDN line. If the telephone number is "area code", the dial control unit 1 refers to the own telephone number storage unit 7 and the own area code storage unit 8 to determine the own area code from the number of digits of the own telephone number stored therein. An operation for subtracting the number of digits of the station number is performed, and the calculated value is recognized as the number of digits at the end of dialing.

After the processing of ST21 to ST25, if the user presses the start button 12 by mistake in the processing of ST28 or the timer T has elapsed in the processing of ST29, the number table collation mismatch ( Similarly to the state of ST-B), the dial control unit 1 shifts the processing to the state of transmission (ST-D).

On the other hand, as a result of determining whether or not to perform automatic recognition in the process of ST23, if the value of the automatic recognition enable / disable flag corresponding to the dial number for recognition is "x" and it is determined that automatic recognition is not to be performed, (ST23; N), the dial control unit 1 performs the dial input operation by the user after the number values up to the first several digits of the dial number are selected and obtained, following the first several digits of the dial number. For each digit, the value of the timer without automatic recognition (“4 seconds”) for obtaining the second call waiting time is set to perform before the preset second call waiting time elapses. Timer 6
(T) (ST30).
To ST23 are repeatedly executed.

Here, the reason why the automatic recognition enable / disable flag becomes minus “x” is that the recognition dial number is, for example, “00”.
In this case, the dial control unit 1 resets the timer T to the initial value in the process of ST30 every time each digit of the dial number is input in the process of ST21. Finally, when the last digit of the dial number of the international call based on the recognition of the user is input, the start button 1 in the process of ST28 is input.
A required international telephone dial number is transmitted through a forced transmission by pressing 2 or an automatic transmission by the elapse of the timer T ("4 seconds") in the process of ST29.

Thus, all the processes for each call are completed.

[Processing Other Than Talk] Next, "processing other than talking" will be described.

In the processing other than during the call, data used for discriminating the number values up to the first several digits of the dial number (stored in the number table storage unit 4), and the own telephone number (stored in the own telephone number storage unit 7) ), Own area code (stored in own area code storage unit 8), first and second transmission waiting time (stored in transmission timer value storage unit 5), and first and second input delay time (same as above) Change the settings in (1) when maintenance is required.

That is, the contents of the own telephone number storage unit 7 and the own area code storage unit 8 of the ISDN telephone β are different depending on the area where the telephone is installed.
When the location (area) of the N telephone β is changed due to a move of the user, the contents of the own telephone number storage unit 7 and the own area code storage unit 8 need to be rewritten. In addition, it is necessary to add a new area code to the number table storage unit 4 or change the condition of the number of digits to be transmitted by changing the installation location or expanding the telephone network. For this reason, the present invention is provided with a function capable of arbitrarily setting and changing the contents of each of the storage units described above.

Here, the setting change regarding the contents of the own telephone number storage section 7 and the own area code storage section 8 is performed by the ISDN.
It is possible for the telephone β to be performed by the user himself or by a maintenance person at the maintenance management center by remote control through a line, but the latter does not impose an operational burden on the user. So desirable.

On the other hand, since the data volume of the number table storage unit 4 is enormous, it is impossible to allow the user of the ISDN telephone β to change the setting of the contents. The contents of the unit 4 are common to all ISDN telephones β to which the present invention is applied. For this reason, when the setting of the contents of the number table storage section 4 is changed, the maintenance management center creates necessary download data in advance and sends it to the ISDN telephone β.
It is better to download in cooperation with the download unit 9 of the above.

However, every time the setting of the contents of the number table storage unit 4 needs to be changed, all the ISDN telephones β
Downloading the required data is extremely inefficient because it requires a lot of time and telephone bills. Therefore, the method of the present invention proposes a method of maintaining the number table storage unit 4 using the separately provided number change table storage unit 10.

As a downloading method, a method in which a user consciously operates the ISDN telephone β to download required data, and a method in which the maintenance management center downloads all the ISDN telephones β to which the present invention is applied from the maintenance management center. On the other hand, there is a method of automatically downloading required data, but the latter is more preferable in consideration of user's convenience.

Next, the number change table storage unit 10 in which required download data has already been written,
A method for updating the contents of the number table storage unit 4 will be described.

As described above, the number change table storage unit 10 indicates a recognition dial number for automatic recognition of the number of digits at the end of dialing, and indicates whether or not automatic recognition of the number of digits at the end of dialing for this recognition dial number is possible. The field includes an auto-recognition enable / disable flag, the number of digits expected to be dialed for the recognition dial number, and fields relating to the date and time of the setting change. That is, the configuration is the same as that of the number table storage unit 4 except for the field relating to the execution date and time. Therefore, in some cases, necessary download data is stored in the number table storage unit 4 at the time of access from the maintenance management center. It is also possible to write directly (however, it is necessary to write immediately before the date and time when the setting change is performed).

In the above state, the dial control section 1 of the automatic dial end digit number recognizing device α periodically refers to (monitors and monitors) the execution date and time field in the number change table storage section 10 except during a call. At the time when the implementation date and time arrives, it is searched whether or not the same dialing number for recognition stored correspondingly exists in the corresponding field of the number table storage unit 4.
