The present invention relates to a functional telephone device having automatic dialing functions such as speed dialing and speed dialing.

[Conventional technology]

Functional telephone devices such as button telephone devices or functional telephones, including button telephones, are equipped with a redial function for making outgoing calls using a redial key, and automatic dialing functions such as one-touch dialing and speed dialing. The redial function and automatic dial function have separate memories and are completely independent functions, and users have used manual dialing, redial, and automatic dialing depending on the frequency of calls to the destination.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in the case of redialing, a normal manual dialing operation is required before making a redial call, and since the previous data is cleared with the first dial after acquiring the line, the destination cannot be retained for a long time, and other dialing When I did this, the data disappeared and I was unable to use Redial with confidence.

On the other hand, in the case of automatic dialing, there are problems in that the registration operation is cumbersome and there is a risk of erroneous registration due to operational errors.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve these problems, the present invention provides a redial function that automatically stores a redial number in a redial memory based on a dialing operation and performs a redial call, and a redial function that automatically stores a redial number in a redial memory based on a dialing operation and automatically stores a redial number in an automatic dialing memory based on a registration operation. In a functional telephone device equipped with an automatic dialing function that stores a dial number and automatically dials an outgoing call, a detection means detects an area designation operation of the automatic dial memory following a specific operation, and an output of the detection means detects an area designation operation of the automatic dial memory. and control means for transferring the redial number stored in the automatic dialing memory to a designated area of the automatic dialing memory.

[Effect]

Therefore, in the present invention, the dial destination, which is always updated and stored when making a normal manual dial call, is transferred to and stored in the automatic dial memory by a user's specific operation, thereby making redial (re-call) safe. This allows users to easily register automatic dialing such as speed dialing and one-touch dialing as automatic dialing.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, in which the present invention is applied to a button telephone device. In FIG. 1, 1 is the main device of the button telephone device, and this main device 1 is connected to external lines 2□ to 2 such as central office lines from the central office or telephone lines from a private branch exchange via external line terminals L1 to Ln. In addition to the connectors cN1 to cNm and the lines 3 to 3m each consisting of one pair of communication lines and signal lines.
Key telephones (hereinafter referred to as handsets) 4+ to 4m are connected via the external line interfaces 111 to 11r, and the outside lines 2 and 2n are connected to the communication path switch 12 via the external line interfaces 111 to 11r, respectively. On the other hand, the communication path switch 12 and each child 4!
! 4] ~Line 3 from the conduit, ~3r! , are connected via telephone interfaces 131 to 13rrl, and exchange connections are made by cross points such as analog switches or relay contacts in the n1 communication path switch 12.

Note that the outside line interfaces 11, . The telephone interface 13□-1 has an exchange connection function between the 2n and the handset 4, ~ and between the handset 4, and each other.
3. TI supplies telephone power to handsets 4 and 4m via telephone lines.

It transmits and receives data signals via signal lines, supplies control power, and so on.

The main device 1 is also provided with a control unit including a processor 14 such as a microprocessor, a fixed memory (hereinafter referred to as ROM) 15, and a variable memory (hereinafter referred to as RAM) +6, and the processor 14 executes the program in the ROM1S. , control is performed while accessing predetermined data to the RAM 16, and the incoming call detection output from the outside line interfaces 11□ to 11n and the operation data from the handset 4 through the telephone interfaces 13□ to 13m. Accordingly, a control decision is made and the outside line interface 11, to 11n1 communication path switch 12. It controls the telephone interfaces 13, -13m, and also controls the slave unit 41-rice by transmitting control data via the telephone interfaces 131-13m.

In contrast, in the handset 4□~I, the communication circuit 31
is connected to the telephone line 32. Further, a control section 35 is connected to the signal line 33 via a transmission circuit 34, which is similar to the control section of the main unit R1, but consists of a smaller processor, ROM, and RAM. The digital display, 1-tone generator, and amplifier are controlled, and the display on the digital display and the emitting of an incoming ring tone through the speaker are performed in accordance with the control data via the transmission circuit 34, and the control data is also transmitted in the same manner. According to
Lighting and dimming of each indicator light in the keyboard 31.

In addition to controlling the blinking, it also sends out frame data indicating the status of n, etc. via the transmission circuit 34 in response to the operation of each gear in the keyboard 37 and the operation of the hook switch Is. .

The transmission circuit 34 has a TM and source separation function, extracts the power supplied from the main device 1 side via the signal line 33, stabilizes it, and locally supplies it to each necessary part. It is supplied as power supply V.

Therefore, when off-hook is performed on any n handset 4, this n operation data is received by the processor 14, and the key operations on the n1 keyboard 37 are also performed in the same way, such as the operation of the outside line key or the inner edge key and the dial key. According to the operation, the processor 14 controls the call path switch 12 to establish an exchange connection, and if it is an outside line call, a redial call is made under the control of the selected outside line interface 11, and if it is an extension call, The extension ringing tone is emitted under the control of the display circuit 36 for the handset 4 of the other party, and the call state is established by a response from the other party.

Further, incoming calls from the outside lines 2, ~2n are detected by the outside line interfaces 11, ~11n, and in response to this, the processor 14 controls the display circuit 36 of each handset 4□ ~
When any handset 4 responds to the off-footer in order to emit an outside line incoming ring tone, the processor 14 controls the call path switch 12 accordingly to complete the call path.

In addition, the RAMI 6 of the main device 1 is provided with a redial memory 17 and an automatic dial memory 18, as shown in FIG. A redial area is provided, and an automatic dial memory 18 is provided for each handset 4, to 4rr.
The common one-touch dial area and speed dial area for 1 are automatic dial areas 18 and 18.
A plurality of dial numbers are provided respectively as "n", and these "n" are used as one-touch (auto) dial memory and abbreviated dial memory.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the control situation by the processor 14 of the main device 1, in which the processor 14 of the main device 1 performs initial processing (step f(11)) and communicates with each slave device 4□ to 4m at regular intervals. Data transmission processing is performed between the two (step 102).

At this time, it is determined whether the data from the handset is an outside line acquisition or not (step 103), and if this is YES, after outside line acquisition is performed (step 104), other processing (
Step 102 and subsequent steps are repeated via step 105). Further, if step 103 is NO, it is determined that ``external line is being captured J106'', and if this is YF, s, it is determined that ``received data, dial pressed'' 108 is determined. As a result, if step 108 is YES, a dial call is made in response to the dial key operation from the handset (step 109), and the content of the dial is stored in the redial memory 17 of RAM1B (step 110). ). However, if step 106 is NO, “Other processing J”
107 to step 105 and step 102
Repeat the following.

On the other hand, if step 108 is NO, it is determined that "receive dial, redial call" 111, and this is YES.
If it is S, the contents of the redial memory 17 (redial number) are transferred to that R by the redial call operation from the handset.
The number is stored in the dial memory (not shown) in the AM1S (112), and a dial call is made based on the number (step 113). Moreover, if step 111 is No, "received data.

If the answer is YES, the content of the one-touch dial memory in the automatic dial memory 18 is stored in the dial memory by a one-touch dial origination operation by one-touch button operation from the handset ( Step 115), the contents of the dial memory are further stored in the redial memory (step 116), and a dial call is made based on the contents (step 11T). Furthermore, if step 114 is No, the received data and speed dial J118 are judged, and if this is YES, the speed dial memory in the automatic dial memory 18 is After storing the contents in the dial memory (step 119), a dial call is made via step 116 similar to the above (step 11γ).

On the other hand, if step 118 is NO, "received data, 51i1T key" 120 is determined based on the data from the handset, and if this value is πS, a dial set flag is set (step 121). Here, when a specific key is a set key, the S key is a combination of the set key and one-touch dial keys, the set key and speed dial, the enclosed key in the 19 dial key, and the two-digit key. Based on the operation of the corresponding numeric keys, the redial number stored in the redial memory 1γ is stored in the areas of each one-touch dial memory and speed dial memory that make up the automatic dial memory 18. It is intended to be transferred.

That is, if step 120 is No, "Received data, on-hook? J 122" and "External line on hold" 1
Assuming No. 23, "Dial set.

"Flag setting in progress" is judged as 124, and this is YES.
For example, "received data, one-touch dial" 125 is determined. Hello, if step 125 is YES,
After the redial number stored in the redial memory 1γ in the RAM 16 is transferred to and stored in the one-touch dial memory in the automatic dial memory 18 (step 126
), the dial set flag is reset (step 127). Moreover, when step 125 is No, [
Received data, speed dial" 128 is judged, and n is Y.
If the ES is activated, the redial number stored in the redial memory 17 is transferred to the speed dial memory in the automatic dial memory 18 and stored in the same manner as in step 126 (
Step 129), the dial set flag is reset (step 130). At this time, step 128
If it is No, it judges "received data, key press" 131, and if this is YES, it judges "other processing" 132.
In addition, the dial set flag is reset (step 133).

If step 122 is YES in response to this, the outside line is released (step 134), the dial set flag is reset (step 135), and the process moves on to other processing (step 105).

If step 123 is YES, the outside line is put on hold (step 136), the dial set flag is reset (step 137), and then step 135
Similarly, the process moves to other processing (step 105).

Furthermore, if step 124 is NO, after performing other processing (step 138), the process moves on to other processing (step 105), and steps after step +02 are repeated.

In this way, according to the present embodiment, after a normal dial call and before ending a call (opening an outside line), the RAM is
The redial number stored in the +6 redial memory 1γ is stored in the automatic dialing memory 18 such as one-touch dialing memory or speed dialing memory, so if you want to make a dialing call again, or if you call a person frequently, you can press a specific key. By registering the contents (dial destination) of the redial memory 1γ in the one-touch dial memory or abbreviated dial memory through an operation, re-dialing can be performed with confidence. In addition, when registering automatic dialing for one-touch dialing or speed dialing, if you only perform the registration operation as in the conventional case, you will not be able to tell if there is an incorrect registration until you make a call several times. Not only is this easy, but it is also possible to prevent erroneous transmissions due to erroneous operations.

In the above-mentioned embodiments, the present invention was rarely applied to a button telephone device, but it may be applied to a stand-alone telephone.

In addition to allowing transfer after dialing until the end of the call (external line release), transfer may be allowed until the outside line is captured for the next call or the subsequent @1 dial, and furthermore, for a certain period of time after the end of the call. You can even go so far as to.

Although the set key is still a specific key, a dedicated key is not required, other keys may be shared, and furthermore, it may be pressed twice. Further, the state of the redial memory after transfer may be such that the destination can be maintained in a clear state, and the shape of the redial memory can be freely modified.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, in a functional telephone device equipped with a redial function and an automatic dial function,
The automatic dial memory area designation operation is detected based on a specific operation, and the detected output is used to transfer the redial number stored in the redial memory to the designated area of the automatic dial memory. If you have trouble dialing again, or if you call someone frequently, you can safely dial again. It also makes it easier to register automatic dialing such as one-touch dialing or speed dialing, and prevents erroneous dialing due to erroneous operation. There are effects such as being able to do it.
