Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a communication device, in particular, a communication device that stores predetermined communication parameters used for communication in a memory in association with predetermined identification data, and responds by inputting the identification data. The present invention relates to a communication device that reads and uses predetermined communication parameters from memory.

[Prior Art] In the information society that has been rapidly progressing in recent years, facsimiles have become increasingly important in their ability to send information accurately, quickly, and easily.

Regarding the quick and easy access to information, the speed dial function is one of the most frequently used functions of facsimile machines.

With speed dialing on conventional facsimile machines, the destination number of the recipient is registered in advance in a string of several digits, and when the user actually wants to send a document, he or she simply presses that string of numbers. The document is automatically sent to the recipient without the need to enter a number. Many recent facsimile machines have appeared that allow users to register multiple speed dials according to their needs.

FIG. 20 shows a conventional example of a facsimile machine having a speed dial function. In Fig. 20, numeral 01 is the operation panel, numeral 02 is the display section (LCD), numeral 03 is the stop key, numeral 04 is the set key for confirming input data, numeral 05 is the numeric keypad for inputting dial data, and numeral 05 is the numeric keypad for inputting dial data. 06 and 07 are scroll keys for scrolling display data, 08 is a registration key, 09 is an operation panel control unit consisting of a microprocessor, memory, etc., and 010 is a known modem, NC
U, communication control unit consisting of code, decoding unit, etc., code 01
Reference numeral 1 denotes a memory management section configured using a microprocessor or the like, reference numeral 012 a memory consisting of a RAM, etc., and reference numerals 013 to 015 data lines.

When registering the destination number in the speed dial, the user presses the registration key 08 on the operation panel 01. Then, the operation panel control section 09 enters the speed dial registration mode, queries the memory management section 011, and displays the registration status of the first speed dial number on the display section 02 as shown in FIG.

If the destination number has already been registered for the input speed dial data, the user can press the scroll key 06.
Press 07 to browse the speed dial numbers in order (
(Fig. 21), or directly input the speed dial number to be referenced using the numeric keypad 05 to shift to the speed dial registration mode.

Once the destination number to be registered is decided, the user presses the numeric keypad 05.
Enter the destination number. When input is complete, press set key 0
4, the operation panel control section 09 instructs the memory management section 011 to register the input number, and the memory management section 011 registers it in the memory 012. This completes the registration of one speed dial, and the operation panel control section 09 changes the display to the next speed dial mode.

When actually transmitting a document using the speed dial registered in this way, the user inputs the speed dial using the numeric keypad 05. At this time, if the user wants to check what is registered in which speed dial number, by pressing the scroll key 06.07, the contents of the speed dials are displayed one after another on the display section 02.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the above conventional example, the speed dial enters the registration mode one by one starting from the first number string, so if the first number strings have already been registered, The scroll key must be pressed many times until an unregistered number sequence appears.

Furthermore, even when pressing a speed dial number directly, if the user does not know which numbers are unregistered, the user must continue pressing the number sequence until an unregistered key appears, which is very inconvenient. This is especially time consuming and troublesome when there are multiple speed dials.

As described above, in the conventional system, searching for an available speed dial number is complicated and takes a long time.

Moreover, although the correspondence between destination numbers and speed dial numbers has been illustrated here, it goes without saying that similar problems occur even when communication parameters other than destination numbers are associated with predetermined identification data.

The object of the present invention is to solve the above problems.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, predetermined communication parameters used for communication are stored in a memory in association with predetermined identification data, and input of the identification data is In a communication device that reads a corresponding predetermined communication parameter from a memory and uses it, the identification data that is not associated with the communication parameter among the identification data or the identification data that is already associated with the communication parameter is used according to a predetermined condition. We adopted a configuration that includes means for searching and means for displaying and outputting the searched communication parameters.

[Operation] According to the above configuration, unregistered or already registered identification data can be searched and displayed according to predetermined conditions.

[Example] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on the example shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a communication device according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an operation panel, which is composed of the following members.

First, reference numeral 2 is a display unit consisting of a known LCD panel, etc., 3 is a stop key, 4 is a start key, 5 is a set key, 6 and 7 are scroll keys, 8 is a skip key, and 9 is a The registration key, reference numeral 12, is a numeric keypad, and these are constructed in the same manner as in the conventional example described above.

Note that there are touch key panels (23 to 23 described later) on the display unit 2.
25) is provided. The touch key panel is constructed using a transparent coordinate input tablet using a transparent electrode method or an ultrasonic method. The touch key panel is used to input the abbreviation of the other station.

Further, in this embodiment, the following keys are provided in order to search for a vacant speed dial number when registering speed dial data.

First, reference numeral 10 is a frequency key for displaying the speed dial data in order of frequency of use, and reference numeral 11 is a region key for displaying the speed dial data by area where the partner station is located. Further, reference numeral 22 is a Japanese syllabary key for searching in dictionary order.

The control circuit is composed of the following members.

That is, reference numeral 13 is a communication control section, numeral 14 is a memory management section, numeral 15 is a memory consisting of a known RAM, and numeral 1 is a memory management section.
6 is an operation panel control unit, codes 17 to 21 are data lines,
These are constructed from the same circuit members as in the conventional example.

2 to 4 are flowcharts showing control procedures when registering speed dial data in the apparatus shown in FIG. 1. Second
The procedures shown in FIGS. 4 to 4 are executed by the operation panel control section 16. In each figure, flows with the same number are continuous at that position.

When using speed dialing, the user needs to register the destination number as a predetermined speed dial number in advance. This registration operation procedure is shown in FIG.

First, the user presses the registration key 9 on the operation panel 1.

The operation panel control unit 16 always detects key presses in step S1, and detects the registration key 9 in step S2.
When it is confirmed that the button has been pressed, the process moves to the registration mode from step S4 onwards. If step S2 is negative, step S
3. Perform other known processing.

In the registration mode, the memory management unit 14 is inquired about the registration status of the first speed dial number *000 in step S4. The memory management unit 14 refers to the memory 15 and reads *000.
Enter the destination number and abbreviation registered in the operation panel control section 1.
6, the operation panel control section 16 displays the information received in step S5 on the display section 2.

For example, if the speed dial registration status is as shown in FIG. 5, the display will be as shown in FIG. 6. Figure 5 is in table format, starting from the left: 3-digit speed dial number, destination number,
Indicates the abbreviation of the destination and the frequency of use of its speed dial number. The speed dial number, destination number, and destination abbreviation are registered in the memory 15, and information on frequency of use is also stored in the memory 15, but this information is stored in the memory management unit 14 for each communication in which the speed dial number is used. Updated by.

In this case, since *000 has already been registered, the speed dial number, destination number, and destination abbreviation are displayed on the display section 2 as shown in FIG.

Here, the user must register the other party to another speed dial number. However, since many speed dials have already been registered, it is necessary to search for unregistered speed dial numbers.

Therefore, the user first presses the skip key 8 on the operation panel 1. When the operation panel control section 16 confirms that the skip key 8 has been pressed, it requests the memory management section 14 to inquire about the next unregistered speed dial number using the speed dial number currently displayed on the display section 2 as a parameter. The key input at this time is detected in step S6, and step S7.5IO1
Which key was pressed is detected in S12 and S19. Skip key 8 is detected in step S7.

When depression of the skip key 8 is detected in step S7,
The memory management unit 14 inquires about the speed dials after the received parameter (*000 in this embodiment) in the memory 15 in step S8, and searches for the empty medical examination speed dial number.

Once searched, the dial number is passed to the operation panel control section 16, and even if all the speed dials have been registered, this fact is communicated to the operation panel control section 16. When the operation panel control unit 16 receives a vacant speed dial number (or information indicating that all the numbers have been registered), the operation panel control unit 16 displays the number on the display unit 2 in step S9. In Figure 5 *0
Since 03 is unregistered, a message indicating that this number is unregistered is displayed as shown in FIG. On the other hand, if all speed dial numbers are in use, a message to that effect is displayed as shown in FIG.

When an unregistered speed dial number is displayed as shown in FIG. 7, the user uses the numeric keypad 12 to input the destination number. The input on the numeric keypad 12 is performed in step S6.5IO1Sl.
It is processed in a loop of l.

At this time, when the numeric keypad 12 is pressed, the operation panel control unit 16 erases the display of "dial not registered" in step Sll, and displays the numeric keypad 12 to be inputted one after another as shown in FIG. 9. FIG. 12 shows the display state immediately after the telephone number "03-334-1715j" including the area code and area code is input.

After inputting the destination number, the user presses the set key 5. Pressing of the set key 5 is detected in step S12. After confirming that the set key 5 has been pressed, the operation panel control unit 16 temporarily stores the input number in the memory within the control unit and switches the display to the abbreviation registration mode as shown in FIG. 10 in step S13.

In the abbreviation registration mode, the abbreviation of the other party is registered using the touch key 23 (FIG. 10) and scroll key 6.7 on the LCD through a loop of steps S14 to S22.

The touch keys 23 are displayed on the display section 2, and corresponding characters are input by inputting to the transparent coordinate input tablet above the touch keys 23. Abbreviation input is performed in steps 514-517.

When the abbreviation input is completed, the user presses the set key 5. When the set key 5 is pressed, the pressing of the set key 5 is detected in step S18, and in step S20, the operation panel control unit 16 sends the input destination number and abbreviation as parameters together with the speed dial number to the memory management unit 14. Submit a request for registration. Note that during abbreviation registration, pressing of the stop key 3 is detected in step 323, and when the stop key 3 is pressed, the registration mode ends.

The memory management unit 14 registers the abbreviated number in the memory 15 as shown in FIG. Here, the telephone number of "Ms. XXXXXXXXX" is registered in the speed dial number *003.

Since this number has not yet been used here, the usage frequency is set to 0.

When the registration completion notification is input from the operation panel control unit 16 to the memory management unit 14, the memory management unit 14 passes the contents of the next speed dial number to the operation panel control unit 16 (in this embodiment, the contents of *004). .

The operation panel control section 16 displays the received contents on the display section 2 as in the case of FIG. This completes the registration of the two destinations.

If the user wishes to further register for speed dialing, the user presses the skip key 8 again. Then step 3 above
6 to S9 are performed, and the operation panel control unit 16 *
Using 004 as a parameter, the memory management unit 14 is requested to inquire about the next unregistered speed dial. The memory management unit 14 performs the search in the same way as the previous time, and finds the next unregistered number r*o11.
J is found. In this way, the user can register the destination number of the desired partner station in the available speed dial numbers one after another.

When the registration is completed, this key input is detected in step 519 where the stop key 3 is pressed, and the operation panel control unit 1
6 exits from the speed dial registration mode in step S24, and displays a standby state in step S25.

Next, the case of actually transmitting a document using the speed dial will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. According to the procedure shown in FIG. 3, the speed dial registration data can be searched and referenced according to the frequency of speed dial use or the region of the partner station.

For example, a user wants to send a manuscript to the head office of the user's company, but does not know what speed dial number is registered. Assuming that the head office is a party with whom documents are exchanged relatively frequently, the user may press the frequency key 10 on the operation panel 1 because the search may be performed based on the frequency of use of the speed dial.

A key press is detected in step S31 and step 532
．． 538, S43, and S50, it is determined whether the pressed key is pressed.

When the press of the frequency key 10 is detected in step 532,
In step 333, the operation panel control unit 16 requests the memory management unit 14 to search the registered contents of speed dial numbers in descending order of frequency of use.

As mentioned above, the frequency of use can be registered in the registration table of each speed dial in the memory 15. This is a counter for the number of times the speed dial is used, and is incremented by one when a communication is performed using the speed dial. The memory management unit 14 refers to that part of the registration table and temporarily sorts the work areas in the memory 15 in descending order of frequency of use. The speed dial numbers are then passed to the operation panel control section 16 in that order.

When the operation panel control unit 16 receives the numbers, it stores them in its internal memory and displays the first four parties on the display unit 2 in step S34 as shown in FIG.

In FIG. 12, reference numeral 24 is a touch key for instructing a call to the retrieved partner station number. touch key 2
Transmission using 4 will be described later.

Furthermore, if there are other parties other than the one being displayed, a "→" symbol is displayed at the lower right corner of the display section 2 so that the user knows that there is a continuation.

Since the (American) headquarters was not displayed on the first screen, the user presses the scroll key 6.7 on the operation panel 1. Then, the operation panel control section 16 displays the next four most frequently used destinations on the display section 2 as shown in FIG. This scrolling process is executed in steps 335 to S37. Further, when the depression of the stop key 3 is detected in step S40, the search by scrolling moves to steps S41 and S42, and a return to the standby state is performed.

1, the user can refer to the contents registered in the abbreviated number one after another in order of frequency of use. Further, when the user wants to exit from the frequency order reference mode, the user can return to the standby state by pressing the stop key 3.

Next, in the case of a person with whom you do not often exchange manuscripts, you cannot immediately find the desired registered data using the frequency search described above, so you can use a regional search.

Here, since the destination number XXXX shown in the lower part of FIG. 5 is used less frequently, this destination number will be explained as an example.

The user presses the region key 11 on the operation panel. When the operation panel control section 16 confirms that the region key 11 has been pressed in step S43, it switches to the region mode and displays the display section 2 as shown in FIG. 14. This mode is a mode in which the registered contents of speed dials are displayed by region. Before using this mode, it is necessary to register the regional number in advance, so we will first explain the registration of the regional number.

When the display unit 2 is switched to the regional mode as shown in FIG. 14, the user presses the registration key 9 on the operation panel 1. After confirming that the registration key 9 has been pressed, the operation panel control section 16 switches the display on the display section 2 as shown in FIG.

Here, the user uses the numeric keypad 12 to input, for example, a four-digit number to be registered as an area number. For example, when registering Nagoyafu as a region, it would be ro 52J. After completing the input using the numeric keypad 12, the user presses the set key 5.

Then, the operation panel control section 16 temporarily stores the input number sequence in the memory within the control section, and changes the display on the display section 2 as shown in FIG. 16.

Here, the user uses the touch key 23 to register the abbreviation of the number string that was previously input. After inputting the abbreviation, the user presses the set key 5. This abbreviation input is performed using the procedure described above.

When the operation panel control section 16 confirms that the set key 5 has been pressed, it passes the previously stored area number and the abbreviation just entered to the mail management section 14 and issues a registration request. The memory management unit 14 registers it in the memory 15 and returns the completion of registration to the operation panel control unit 16. When the operation panel control unit 16 receives the notification, it changes the display on the display unit 2 as shown in FIG.
Enter the next number registration mode.

This completes the registration of one area number, but if you wish to register more area numbers, you can register them one after another by repeating the above procedure.

When the registration is completed, the stop key 3 is pressed to exit the operation panel control section 16 from the area code registration mode. At this time, the display on the display section 2 is changed to a list of registered regions as shown in FIG.

This allows the user to confirm that the currently registered "Nagoya" is included. If the stop key 3 is pressed again, the system returns to the standby state.

Next, a method of referencing a speed dial number using this area code will be explained. As described above, when the region key 11 is pressed, the operation panel control section 16 enters the region mode, and the display on the display section 2 changes as shown in FIG. 17. The touch keys on the display unit 2 are registered touch keys 25, and the keys have abbreviations written on them so that the user can recognize them at a glance.

Here, the user does not know the speed dial number to which the number XXXX is registered, but he knows that it is in Osaka. Then, the user presses a key labeled "Osaka" on the touch keys 25 on the display section 2. When the touch key 25 is pressed, the operation panel control unit 1 is pressed in step S44.
6 stores the information (abbreviation) of the pressed key in the memory management unit 14.
give it to The memory management unit 14 refers to the memory 15 and checks the number string registered in "Osaka".

In this case, the number string registered in "Osaka" is "0".
6'', the memory management section 14 searches the abbreviated number registration table of FIG. 5 for destination numbers starting with "06" and passes them to the operation panel control section 16. Operation panel control section 1
After receiving the number, 6 receives the first number in step 545.
8 is displayed on the display section 2 as shown in FIG. Here, too, the touch key 25 is displayed at the beginning of each data.

Here, the displayed abbreviated number is the destination number or "06"
It begins with . In other words, by registering Osakafu's area code 06j as the abbreviation Osakaj, the user can press the OsakaJ key and dial the speed dial number that a destination in Osaka city has registered. Here, too, if there is a large amount of registered data, the user can refer to the next page using the scroll keys 6.7.

Next, a case where you do not know anything other than the name (abbreviation) of the other party will be explained, taking as an example a case where you want to send a manuscript to Sada XXXX. Sada XXXX is someone with whom I do not normally exchange documents, and is located in an area that is not registered in the area code (see Figure 3).

Then, the user presses the Japanese syllabary key 22 on the operation panel 1. This is to search and display the destinations registered in the speed dial in alphabetical order. 50 tone key 22
is detected in step S43. 50 tone key 22
When is pressed, the operation panel control unit 16 proceeds to step S3.
At step 9, the memory management unit 14 is requested to refer to the speed dial numbers in alphabetical order.

Thereby, the memory management section 14 sequentially refers to the destination abbreviations in the speed dial registration table in the memory 15, rearranges them in alphabetical order, and passes these numbers to the operation panel control section 16.

After receiving the numbers, the operation panel control section 16 displays the destination numbers on the display section 2 as shown in FIG. 19 in step S34. Furthermore, if there is another registration number, "→" is displayed at the lower right corner. The displayed destinations are arranged in alphabetical order based on the registered destination abbreviations. If the person you are looking for is not displayed, you can press the scroll keys 6 and 7 to change the screen one after another.

In the operation panel control section 16, when the scroll key 6.7 is pressed, the registration numbers are displayed one after another in alphabetical order. In this way, the user can refer to the destinations in alphabetical order of their abbreviations.

Note that the above search mode is interrupted by the detection of the stop key 3 in step S50, and a return to the standby state (steps S51 and 552) can be performed.

Finally, the transmission procedure actually using the speed dial number referred to in the above method will be explained using FIG.

Once the user has found the abbreviated number of the destination he/she is looking for, the user can also send the document by entering the 3-digit abbreviated number using the numeric keypad 12 on the operation panel 1, similar to the speed dialing of conventional facsimile machines. Here, document transmission using the touch keys 24 or 25 on the display section 2 will be explained.

For example, when transmitting a manuscript to the first American headquarters, when the abbreviated number of the American headquarters is searched for using the frequency key 10, the number is displayed on the display section 2 as shown in FIG. The display unit 2 displays an abbreviated number, a destination number, and an abbreviation, and the abbreviated number is a touch key.

This pressing of the touch key is detected in step S64. When the touch key 24 of the speed dial in which the number of the American head office is registered is pressed, the operation panel control section 16 requests the communication control section 13 to send the destination number of the touch key 24 as a parameter in step S65. In step S66, "Communicating" is displayed on the display unit 2. The communication control unit 13 performs step S67.
In this step, the parameters are sent to the other party.

When the transmission is completed, in step 568, the communication control section 13 requests the memory management section 14 to increment the frequency counter in the abbreviated number registration table shown in FIG. 5, using the destination number as a parameter. The memory management unit 14 refers to the abbreviated number registration table in the memory 15, increases the frequency counter of the American head office by one (21→22), and sends a message to that effect to the communication control unit 1.
Let 3 know.

When the communication control unit 13 receives the notification, it issues a communication end notification to the operation panel control unit 16, and the operation panel control unit 16 returns to the standby state in step S70.
1, the display on the display unit 2 is put into a standby state. with this,
Sending of the original is completed.

Note that steps S61 to S63 in FIG.
This process is performed when transmission is performed by manual input in step 2.

Here, the destination number is manually input using the numeric keypad 12 in step S61, and the number string input in step 562 is stored in a buffer inside the operation panel control section 16. In step S63, the numbers input on the display section 2 are displayed in sequence.

In manual mode, transmission is started by pressing the start key 4. When the press of the start key 4 is detected in step S72, the entered telephone number stored in the buffer inside the operation panel control unit 16 in Stella 7'373 is input to the communication control unit 13, and thereafter in steps 366 and onwards. Transmission is performed in the same manner as described above.

The above transmission process can also be stopped in response to the depression of the stop key 3 through steps S74 and S75.

According to the above embodiment, in the speed dial registration process, unregistered speed dial data can be sequentially searched, so the user does not have to manually search for vacant numbers, which is troublesome as in the past. Desired data can be sequentially registered in the searched vacant numbers, and operability during registration processing can be significantly simplified.

In addition, already registered data can be sorted and searched according to frequency of use, region where the partner station is located, or dictionary order of partner station abbreviations, making it easy to search for the desired partner station. Dial data can be searched.

Furthermore, when using registered data, please refer to Figure 12 and 1.
As shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 19, touch keys are displayed in each search display, so by pressing these keys, it is possible to easily make a call without having to perform the speed dial operation again.

As another embodiment of the present invention, it is also possible to search for services that are not registered in other services, such as timer broadcasting and group dialing. This is effective for checking when deleting items that are infrequently used. Of course, it is also possible to search for registered items.

Furthermore, it is also conceivable to search for vacant mailbox numbers.

In the above, a facsimile machine has been considered as the communication device, but it goes without saying that the same configuration can be implemented in other communication devices.

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above, according to the present invention, predetermined communication parameters used for communication are stored in a memory in association with predetermined identification data, and the corresponding predetermined communication parameters are stored in a memory in association with predetermined identification data. In a communication device that reads and uses communication parameters from a memory, means for searching for identification data that is not associated with a communication parameter or identification data that is already associated with a communication parameter among the identification data according to a predetermined condition; Since the configuration includes a means for displaying and outputting searched communication parameters, unregistered or already registered identification data can be searched and displayed under predetermined conditions, and identification data and communication parameters can be displayed. This has the excellent effect of significantly simplifying registration or processing using it.
