By pressing the function key, the button telephone main device M is connected to the other party's telephone, and when the connection data is applied to the CPU 3 via the interface circuit 1, a communication path with the other party's telephone is formed, and the button telephone '1' is connected to the other party's telephone. The phone call becomes extremely effective.

In this way, even with conventional key telephone devices, normal calls are made using μf.
However, it was impossible for me to register a new telephone number, etc. to the electronic telephone directory that I had.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Therefore, although conventional key telephone devices have functions unique to key telephone devices such as normal calls, line hold, speed dialing, dial retransmission, etc., There is a drawback that you cannot register your name, phone number, etc. by yourself.
In order to register, a special input device was required.

In view of the above, the present invention does not require any special input device.
To provide a button telephone device which allows one to easily register a telephone number, etc. in an electronic telephone directory.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has achieved the above object by providing a registration key for causing the button telephone to perform an electronic telephone directory registration mode operation in a button telephone device having an electronic telephone directory function, and determining input characters. character judgment memory, and kana mode, English mode,
Alternatively, a character mode determination memory is provided to determine the input character mode such as numeric mode, the registration mode is set by inputting the registration key, the input character mode is selected by the function key originally included in the button telephone, and the dial key similarly provided. This is achieved by specifying the input character by the selection press and the number of presses, and making it possible to register a telephone number, etc. in an electronic telephone directory.

(Function) According to the present invention configured as described above, after the operation mode of the button telephone is shifted to the LF record mode using the registration key, the name or telephone number etc. can be entered using the dial key and the function key. It becomes possible to register information necessary for the electronic telephone directory in the electronic telephone directory by oneself without requiring any special equipment.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail by way of an example using the drawings.

When inputting each character mode above, press dial key 5.
This is a character judgment memory that judges the recorded characters by selecting and inputting them with g.

In the present invention configured as described above, when the registration key 8 is pressed, the CPU 3 detects it, and the character mode determination memory 9 selects keys that perform shortening, retransmission, hold, and other functions originally provided as the function keys 6. The function of the key is converted to enable input of kana characters, alphabetic characters, or numbers, and one-character registration meaning the end of registration of one character.

On the other hand, the dial key 5 is converted into a character selection key for specifying a character in each case of kana character, alphabetic character, or numeric mode input, and the dial number pressed by the dial key 5 and the number of times it is pressed are displayed. For example, when the kana character mode is selected by the reserved function key of the function key 6, by inputting the dial number "1" by the dial key 5, the character is determined by the character determination memory 10. " is selected, and one character is specified by the number of times the dial key 5 is pressed. For example, by pressing the dial key 5 from 1 to 5 times, "a" and "i" are respectively
, "tsu", "tech" and "o" are selected.
