Abstract

PURPOSE:To register telephone directory data in an internal storage device as a data base and to eliminate the need for a storage medium and an external storage device by connecting an external input device to the telephone set and accessing the internal storage device directly through an external input device interface. CONSTITUTION:The external input device 6 is connected to the telephone set through the external input device interface 5. The external input device 6 accesses the internal storage device 4 directly through the external input device interface 5. Consequently, the telephone directory data is registered in the internal storage device 4 as the data base, the need for the storage medium such as an IC card and an external storage reader is eliminated, and the cost of the storage medium is curtailed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a telephone having an electronic telephone directory function.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventional telephones with an electronic telephone directory function are configured so that when registering telephone directory data in a database, a storage medium such as an IC card is used as the database, and data is input using an external input device such as an electronic notebook. It had been.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the conventional configuration described above, a storage medium and an external storage reading device are required when registering telephone directory data in a database.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a telephone having an electronic telephone directory function that does not require a storage medium or an external storage/reading device.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve this object, the telephone of the present invention is provided with an external input device interface that connects the telephone with an internal storage device and an external input device that exchanges data with the internal storage device. It is composed of

Operation This configuration allows an external input device to be connected to the telephone and allows the external input device to directly access the internal storage through the external input device interface. As a result, telephone directory data can be registered in an internal storage device that is a database, and a storage medium such as an IC card and an external storage reading device can be made unnecessary.

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a telephone according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a handset;
2 is a handset processing unit that performs basic telephone functions such as dialing; 3 is a line control unit for connecting to a public line; 4
is an internal storage device which is a telephone directory database; 5 is an external input device interface for connecting an external input device to the telephone; 6 is an external input device for inputting telephone directory data;
7 is a public line, and 8 is a display unit that displays telephone directory data stored in the internal storage device.

The operation of the telephone configured as described above will be explained below.

First, when storing telephone directory data in the internal storage device 4, which is a telephone directory database, the external input device 6 is connected to the telephone via the external input device interface 6. The external input device 6 reads and imports telephone directory data stored in the internal storage device 4 through the external input device interface 6. After inputting necessary information such as a name and telephone number, the external input device 6 stores the telephone directory data in the internal storage device 4 through the external input device interface 5, contrary to the previous case. Next, when dialing using the telephone directory function, the telephone directory function is selected using the telephone directory key in the node set 1, and the telephone directory data stored in the internal storage device 4 is displayed on the display section 8. . A person to whom a connection is desired is selected using the handset 1, and the selected number is subjected to processing such as dialing in the handset processing section 2, and is outputted from the line control section 3 to the public line 7.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides an M1 handset having an electronic telephone directory function, which includes an internal storage device for storing telephone directory data;
By providing an external input device interface that connects the internal storage device and an external input device that exchanges data, the external input device can be connected to the telephone and the internal storage device can be directly accessed from the external input device through the external input device interface. It is possible to register telephone directory data in the internal storage device, which is a database. As a result, a storage medium such as an IC card and an external storage/reading device can be made unnecessary, and the cost of the storage medium can be reduced.
