Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] The present invention relates to a registration display method, and an object of the present invention is to visually recognize the registered content of one-touch keys, and to provide a one-touch key for inputting registration data and a one-touch key attached to each one-touch key. A registration display method that displays a registered one-touch key by lighting the lamp, a multicolor lamp that is attached to each one-touch key and can display a multicolor display, and a specified display along with registered data. A registration section that registers color data corresponding to the one-touch key, and a color specification section that lights up the multicolor lamps belonging to the registered one-touch keys in a specified display color are provided, and each of the multicolor lamps belonging to the registered one-touch key is lit in a specified display color. and configure it to display registered one-touch keys.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a registration display method in a device for inputting data with one touch.

For example, many facsimile machines are configured so that a telephone number can be entered with one touch using an array of several dozen keys.

Furthermore, some facsimile machines that can send a specified part of a document by specifying the location of the transmission along with a telephone number can be entered with a single touch.

In this way, when data of different types are registered in correspondence with one-touch keys arranged in the order of key numbers, it is difficult to visually confirm the registered type because the data is not structurally classified.

This is the same even for the same registration type; for example, there are different transmission points for the same registration type, such as a full-page transmission/specific part transmission side, and even when registering a telephone number, there are individual/group divisions.

When registering different types of data like this, you can visually check the type or content using the one-touch key! If i1 recognition is easy, it will be convenient for operation, and it can be expected that input errors will be reduced and operational efficiency will be improved.

Therefore, there is a need for a registration display method that allows easy visual confirmation of registered contents.

[Conventional technology]

Figure 3 is a block diagram of a conventional facsimile machine.
This will be explained using an example of registering "transmission location".

FIG. 3 shows the input section of a facsimile machine, which is provided with a plurality of one-touch keys 1 and lamps 2 attached to each one-touch key 1, and lights up the lamp 2 belonging to the registered one-touch key 1 to register. It is configured to display the completed status.

Here, when registering a transmission location, the user presses the registration key 3 and uses the numeric keypad 4 to input transmission location data, such as whether to send all pages or position data in a document of a predetermined size.

The input transmission location data is registered in the registration table 12 by the registration section 11 using the key number displayed on the display section 5 at the time of registration as a key, and is notified to the lamp control section 6.

The on/off instruction section 9 in the lamp control section 6 searches the registration table 12 at the time of power-on and registration notification, and searches the back of a plurality of registers 8 provided corresponding to the lamp 2.
The register 8 corresponding to the registered key number is set to 1" (lighting data), the register 8 corresponding to the unregistered key number is reset to "0" (lighting off data), and the drive unit 7 turns on the corresponding lamp 2. Turn on/off.

As described above, the transmission location data is registered in correspondence with the one-touch key 1, and the attached lamp 2 lights up to indicate that the registration has been completed.

The registered transmission point data can be output as a registration list along with the key number from a recording unit (not shown),
When starting facsimile communication, the operator inputs the telephone number of the other party, and inputs the transmission location of the other party by pressing the one-touch key 1 while looking at this registration list.

When the one-touch key 1 is pressed, the main control unit 13 sequentially outputs the corresponding transmission point data from the registration table 12 using the key number as a key, and reads from the original and reads out the image data for one page stored in the buffer memory 14. , only the image data of the specified location is sent to the other party.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

One-touch keys are arranged in the order of key numbers, and the order of registration is arbitrary, so they are not classified based on registered content.

For this reason, there are problems in that it takes time to confirm the operation and input errors are likely to occur.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a registration display method that allows one-touch key registration contents to be easily distinguished.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the registration display method of the present invention is such that each one-touch key
a multicolor lamp 17 that is attached to and capable of displaying multiple colors; a registration unit 21 that registers specified display color data in correspondence with the one-touch key 1 along with registration data; and a multicolor lamp belonging to the registered one-touch key 1. 17 in a designated display color.

(Function) The registration unit 21 registers display color data along with registration data.

The color specifying section 20 searches the display color data registered at the time of power-on or registration, specifies the display color corresponding to the one-touch key 1, and lights up the multicolor lamp 17.

Since the registered contents are displayed in different colors as described above, it becomes easy to identify and classify the registered contents of the one-touch key 1.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the embodiment. In the figure, 17 is a multicolor display lamp provided for each one-touch key 1. For example, two-color light emitting diodes 17a and 17b, red and blue, are sealed in the same lamp to select the three colors red, purple, and blue. What can be displayed: 16 is a lamp control section, a color specification section 20, a register 19,
21 is a registration section which registers registration data and display color data in a registration table 22 using the key number of the one-touch key 1 as a key.

Here, the register 19 is provided corresponding to the multicolor display lamp 17, and is composed of two sets of registers 19a and 19b, each specifying a display color of red and blue, with a register side corresponding to the specified display color. is set to 1'' (in the case of purple, both are set).As a result, current flows through one or both of the light emitting diodes of the multicolor lamp 17 selected by the drive unit 18, and the light is turned on.

When registering or turning on the power, the color specifying unit 20 searches the registration table 22 in key number order, searches for the display color if it is registered/unregistered, or has been registered, and sets 21'' and 0 in the corresponding register 19, respectively. ”.

In the facsimile machine having the above configuration, the following registration and lighting control are performed.

(1) When registering, input the display color data along with the registration data using the numeric keys.
