Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a method for rewriting the memory contents of a telephone having a built-in memory storing abbreviated telephone numbers and the like.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, the contents of a built-in memory of a telephone used by a user, such as speed dialing, have been rewritten using the dialing function of the telephone. In addition, in a car phone, the memory (usually ROM) used as an interface between the phone and the telephone network, such as phone numbers, can be changed by replacing the ROM, using a ROM writer, or even using the dialing function of the phone. Rewriting is in progress.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) Therefore, in the former method, all rewriting is performed manually, and therefore, there is a drawback that the more the stored contents increase, the more time it takes to rewrite.

Furthermore, when using a ROM writer to replace the ROM in a car phone, it is necessary to remove the cover of the phone and take out the ROM attached to the board, which requires the use of a specialist.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and to provide a memory rewriting method that allows the contents of a built-in memory of a telephone to be rewritten with a simple operation.

(Means for Solving the Problems) To achieve the above object, a telephone according to the present invention has a built-in,
The memory rewriting method is to connect a personal computer, host I/computer, or 1 Kuwa Sakutaku to an external memory, and write the shortened phone number in a file or entered by key, the other party's phone number and name, etc. that correspond to this shortened phone number. The user information is transferred to the external memory, and the user information stored in the external memory is transferred to the phone's built-in memory to rewrite the contents of the phone's built-in memory.

In addition, the contents of the built-in memory of the first telephone, which stores user information such as an abbreviated telephone number, the other party's telephone number corresponding to this abbreviated telephone number, and the name of the other party, are transferred to an external memory, and the contents stored in the external memory are used. The contents of the phone's built-in memory are copied by transferring the personal information to the built-in memory of the second phone, or it is transferred and saved in a file connected to a personal computer.

According to such a configuration, the memory contents can be rewritten in a very short time and with a simple operation.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings and the like.
