Abstract

PURPOSE:To sufficiently utilize a functional of a terminal equipment by displaying each function and an operation procedure of a multi-function telephone set with display function accommodated in an electronic exchange adopting a stored program system onto a display device with key depression only. CONSTITUTION:A central control unit 2 has a main storage device 3. The main storage device 3 stores functions of all keys of telephone sets A, B, C, D and their operation procedure into its memory area in advance. When the telephone set A is switched to the operation procedure display mode by a mode changeover mans provided to the telephone set A, the central control unit 2 recognizes it and sets the telephone set A into the operation procedure display mode. When a key of the telephone set A set to the operation procedure display mode is depressed, the central control unit 2 retrieves the function and operation procedure of the key inputted in advance in the memory area in the mains storage device 3 and displays the content onto the display device of the telephone set A.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a display control method for a multi-function telephone with a display function, and more particularly to a method for displaying operating procedures for individual functions of the telephone on a display. (Prior Art) Conventionally, in this type of multi-function telephone with a display function,
There is no method of explaining individual functions and their operating procedures by displaying them on the display of the phone, but rather they are written in the instruction manual of the multi-function phone, or are explained on some keys on the phone case. It was displayed directly nearby, and very simply using pictograms or symbols. (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Regarding the above-mentioned conventional multifunction telephone with display function,
Since explanations of individual functions and how to operate them were not shown on the display, inexperienced users had to search for the manual each time they operated the function, which took time to become proficient. As a result, there was a problem in that it was often impossible to fully utilize the various services and functions of exchanges and multifunctional telephones, even though they had a wide variety of functions. (Means for Solving the Problems) Therefore, the present invention provides, in an electronic exchange that employs a storage program system, functions of the multifunction telephone and its operation procedure for a multifunction telephone with a display function housed in the electronic exchange. The present invention provides a method for displaying operating procedure of a telephone, which has a mode for displaying on a display, a means for switching to the mode, and a main storage device in which individual functions and their operating procedures are stored in advance. (Example) Next, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a relay system diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. The switch network l is a multifunction telephone with a display function (A, B,
C, D) 4, and is switch-controlled by the central controller 2. The central control unit W2 has a main storage device 3. This main storage device 3 stores each telephone A, B,
The functions and operating procedures for all keys C and D are entered in advance in the memory area. Now, when telephone No. 8 is switched to the operation procedure display mode by the mode switching means provided in the telephone 11A, the central control unit 2 recognizes this and sets telephone A to the operation procedure display mode.
Next, when a key on telephone A set to the operation procedure display mode is pressed, the central control unit 2 searches for the function and operation procedure of that key that have been entered in advance in the memory area in the main storage device 3. , displays the contents on the display of telephone A. The same applies to other telephones B, C, and D. Further, when a call is made to telephone A that is set to the operating procedure display mode, the central control unit 2 cancels the operating procedure display mode setting of telephone A according to normal call processing, and
Make an incoming connection. Note that the means for switching to the actuation procedure display mode includes inputting a code number for mode switching from a numeric keypad, or means providing a mode switching key on the telephone and switching by pressing the key. (Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention displays the individual functions and operating procedures of a multi-function telephone with a display function housed in an electronic exchange that employs a storage program method on a display simply by pressing a key. This has the effect of making it easier to understand the operation of the terminal and allowing full use of the terminal's functions without error.
