[Example] Hereinafter, an example according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 and 2 are key telephones, and 30 is a main controller. The button telephone and the main controller 30 are connected by a telephone line and a control line. Note that since the configurations of the connected telephones are the same, the following explanation will be given using telephone 1 as an example.

In the telephone 1, 11 is a control unit that controls the entire telephone according to the present embodiment according to a program stored in a built-in ROM 12, 12 is a ROM that stores various parameters in addition to the above-mentioned programs, and 15 is a keyboard 16.
The key human interface that controls the interface with
16 is a keyboard consisting of a telephone number key for inputting a telephone number, a one-touch dial key, function keys, etc.; 17;
18 is a handset, 19 is an extension interface that controls the line interface between the handset and the main controller 30, and 21 is a control unit 11. This is an internal bus that connects the main unit and other components.

On the other hand, 30 is a main control device that performs line connection control between a plurality of public lines (external telephone lines) and a large number of extension key telephones, and connection control between extension key telephones. a central control unit that controls the entire main control device 30 according to the program shown in FIG. 34 is an extension interface that controls the line interface with the key telephone, 35 is a switch circuit network that connects/switches between an external line (public line) and the button telephone connection line, and 36 is an interface with the external line. This is the trunk circuit. Further, 40 is a one-touch memory that stores processing to be executed in response to input of each one-touch dial key of the connected telephone.

FIG. 2 shows an external view of the function keys of the keyboard 16 and the display section 17 of the above-mentioned extension telephone.

In the figure, 51 is a telephone number key for inputting a telephone number, etc.;
52a is a group of function keys, and an absent key 52b for instructing absent transfer etc. is a setting key used when setting various data. Further, 55 is a one-touch dial key, and each key is provided with display sections 17a to 17c for displaying the execution/input valid state of each key.

Hereinafter, the control when registering a specific function to the one-touch dial key of this embodiment having the above configuration will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3 and the like.

The central control unit 31 of the main control device 30 monitors the reception of control data, etc. associated with keystrokes, etc. from the connected telephone via the extension interface 34. Here, the setting key 52b of the keyboard 16 of the telephone or the one-touch dial key 5
When a key human power signal such as No. 5 is received, the process moves to step 81 and subsequent steps shown in FIG.

First, in step S1, the process waits for the reception of input data that is subsequently sent. When the data is received, the process proceeds from step S1 to step S2, where the received data is checked, the handset 18 of the connected telephone is set off-hook, a DC loop is formed in the connected telephone line, and off-hook data is sent from the extension interface 19. If the telephone is off-hook, the process advances to step S3, and the off-hook flag of the telephone in memory 32 is turned ON (set). Then, the process returns to step S1 to prepare for reception of the next data.

On the other hand, if it is not off-hook, the process proceeds from step S2 to step S4, where it is checked whether the handset 18 is on-hook and on-hook data has been received. If the telephone is on-hook, the process advances to step S5, where the off-hook flag of the telephone in memory 32 is turned off (reset), and the process returns to step S1 to prepare for reception of the next data.

If it is not on-hook in step S4, step S
Proceeding to step 6, it is checked whether the input data is the setting key 52b. If the setting key 52b is not input, the process advances to step S7, and the input data is stored in the one-touch memory 40 at a position corresponding to the input telephone or at a position associated with the specified one-touch dial key 55 of the telephone. Then, the process returns to step S1.

If the setting key 52b has been pressed, the process advances to step S8, and the off-hook flag of the telephone is determined. If the off-hook flag is ON, proceed to step S7, and press the setting key 5.
The data of 2b itself is associated with the designated one-touch dial key 55 and stored in the one-touch memory 40 at a position corresponding to the one-touch dial key of the telephone, and the process returns to step S1.

If the off-hook flag is OFF, the one-touch dial registration operation has been completed, and the process advances to step S9, where the data input so far and stored in the memory is registered as regular input data, and the process ends.

The specific setting operation of the above process will be explained below.

The operation for registering a telephone number to a predetermined one-touch dial key will be explained with reference to FIG.

In this case, the on-hook/off-hook state of the handset 18 is not affected.

First, in step SIO, the setting key 52b is input to notify the main controller 30 that a setting (registration) operation will be performed. The central control device 31 of the main control device 30 detects that there will be a new function setting input due to the input of the setting key 52b, and reserves a memory area corresponding to the telephone in the one-touch memory 40. Then, the process moves to the process shown in FIG.

The operator of the telephone selects and inputs the one-touch dial key in which the telephone number is to be registered. The key input is recognized by the control unit 11 via the key input interface 15. The control unit 11 sends a key manual signal corresponding to the input key to a control signal line with the main controller 30 via the extension interface 19. The central control unit 31 receives this key human input signal and stores it in the memory area of the one-touch memory 40 secured earlier in the process of step S7 in FIG.

In this case, since the input is a one-touch key, the number of this one-touch key, etc. is stored. The telephone operator then inputs the telephone number to be registered using the telephone number key 51 in step S12. The central control unit control unit 31 receives this signal as described above and sequentially stores it in the secured memory area. When the input of the telephone number is completed, the setting key 52b is input in step S13. As a result, the process moves to step S9 in FIG. 3, where the input data is stored and registered in association with the designated one-touch dial key input.

Thereafter, when the designated one-touch dial key on the telephone is input, in the case of a call request to the connected telephone line network, a telephone number signal corresponding to the telephone number registered in advance on the connected vacant line is sent, and the call is made. Call processing can be performed simply by inputting one-touch dial keys.

Next, with reference to FIG. 5, a description will be given of control when inputting a call forwarding operation when performing a call forwarding when the called party is absent. In this case, transfer processing can be registered in response to input of the absent key.

First, in step S20, the setting key 52b is input to notify that the registration process will start, and in the subsequent step S21, the absence key 52a is input. This key manual information is stored in the allocated memory area, and then waits for the input of the forwarding destination telephone number to be input in step S22. and the forwarding phone number (e.g. the other extension number to be forwarded to)
is input, and finally, in step S23, the setting key 52b is input to register the forwarding destination telephone number in the memory area assigned to the absence key 52a of the telephone, and the process ends.

Through the above process, when the telephone receives a call, the current call is put on hold, the other telephone number registered in the absence key 52a in the previous process is read, and this telephone is called.

As described above, transfer processing in the absence can be performed by inputting the absence key 52b, but a plurality of key operations must be performed each time the absentee transfer is performed.

For this reason, the present invention is configured so that the same processing as when the function keys are manually operated can be registered in one-touch dial keys that are generally provided in telephones, without relying on inputs from these special function keys.

When registering a function key manual operation to such a one-touch dial key, in addition to the input from the keyboard 16, the operating state of the handset 18 is combined. This will be explained in detail below with reference to FIG.

First, in step S30, the setting key 52b is input to notify the start of the registration process, and in the subsequent step S31, the one-touch dial key to be registered is input. Here, since the input one-touch dial key is registered as a function, the handset 18 is taken off-hook in step S32.

As a result, the off-hook flag of the main controller 30 is set, and the following inputs to the setting key 52b in step S33, the absent key 52a in step S34, the forwarding destination telephone number in step S35, and the setting key 52b in step S36 are all input as data. It is stored in the one-touch memory 4o at a position corresponding to the one-touch dial key of the telephone.

As a result, the input of the forwarding destination phone number in the same way as when inputting the absent key 52a has been completed, so in step S37 the handset 18 is on-hook to reset the off-hook flag, and in step S38 the setting key 52b is input to continue the process. Proceeding to step S9, when the one-touch dial key is input, registration of transfer processing in the absence can be performed.

The registration of functions as described above is not limited to the transfer process in the absence of the user by inputting the absence key 52a, but can be registered for any arbitrary function.

As described above, according to this embodiment, various functions can be executed simply by inputting one-touch dial keys.

[Other Embodiments] In the above embodiment, only when the setting key 52b is pressed,
Although the state of the handset 18 is determined, any key sent from the connected telephone may be used, and the meaning of each key may be changed depending on the state of the handset 18.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, the meaning of the input key can be changed depending on the operating state of the handset of the telephone, and all function key operations when manually operated can be registered in the one-touch dial key. be able to. Therefore, there is no restriction when registering a series of operations on the one-touch dial, and there is an effect that operability is improved.
