Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a telephone set, and particularly to a car telephone set in which the area code 8 can be omitted when inputting the destination number when making a telephone call.

<Prior art> In a car telephone system, when a call is made from inside the car, a wireless G! It is connected to the telephone set of the other party via a base type telephone line and can make a telephone call to the other party. Naturally, it is also possible to call an automatic local telephone from an external telephone and make a call using the reverse route.

By the way, myself! There are two conventional methods for calling an external telephone number from the telephone set inside the 7J. One is to input the telephone number of the other party by operating the keys on the handset of the car phone, then confirm the telephone number on the display, and after confirming, press call 1- to place the call. The other method is to enter a phone number using speed dial and make a call in the same way.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, in the former method, in which the telephone number of the other party is entered manually by manipulating the key provided on the handset of the car phone, a feature of automatic telephone calls is that the other party's telephone number is If it has the same area code as the calling station, that is, even for local calls, the local identification number (O) Toll number TI (hereinafter referred to as local identification number) Since it is necessary to input the telephone number of the other party by adding a number (referred to as "number"), the amount of input number data for the other party's rT number increases, which is very troublesome.

Furthermore, considering that the environment in which the device is used is a small indoor room where many images are taken, inputting a large amount of data may cause input errors.

In addition, the latter method, in which a phone number is entered using speed dial and then a call is made, is very convenient because it reduces the complicated input work, but it does not memorize the phone number of the other party. If you forget the speed-dial number you have, you will not be able to make a call.Moreover, there is a limit to the number of speed-dials in terms of operability, and there is a problem in that you cannot remember too many phone numbers. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an on-call telephone device in which an area code number can be omitted when inputting a telephone number when making a call.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In the present invention, the above problem is solved by providing a telephone device having a key operation section for inputting a telephone number and a memory for storing the input telephone number with a toll code. This is achieved by including a control unit that reads and outputs a telephone number with an area code of 8 that corresponds to the telephone number from the memory when a telephone number without an area code is input from the key operation unit. be done.

A) Reference) is searched (step 201). Then, if the corresponding number data is registered in the telephone number memory 5 (step 202), the telephone number with the area code 9 corresponding to the number data? No. 1, 0246311000, is read out and displayed on the display 6 (step 203). The user has confirmed that it is not due to human error (step 204),
Press start key 1G on operation unit 1 (step 205)
. Then, the telephone number data 0246311000 is transmitted from the wireless transceiver 9 (step 206), and once the user is connected to the other party, they can enjoy a normal telephone conversation (step 207). Also, in step 202, υ1t
The E section 11 stores the manually entered number data in the telephone number memory 5.
If the telephone number inputted in the telephone number memory 5 is not registered, a message indicating that the search is not possible is displayed on the display 6 in step 208.
), at this time, if the user who has confirmed that the search is not possible inputs the destination's toll code, for example 0985, using the numeric keypad 1A (step 209), the control unit 11 inputs the toll code entered from the human output interface. Number data, 0985
The receiver takes the data, adds the 1R data of 311000, the area code entered manually in step 200, and enters 0985*.
Telephone l as the number data of 311000! Message memory for @ is registered (step 210). By performing the processing from Step 203 onward, the telephone number data of 0985311000 is transmitted from the wireless transceiver 9, and once connected to the other party, a normal telephone conversation can be enjoyed. In addition, with the car phone of the present invention, even if you enter a phone number with an area code added as usual, instead of just the local number as described above, you will still be able to make a call. is possible. At this time, the control unit 11 receives and receives number data from the input/output interface 10, and checks whether the number of received number data is greater than or equal to a predetermined number of data (for example, 9), or is less than a predetermined number of data. Determine if there is. In that case, if the number of data is less than the predetermined number, it is assumed that a national number has been input, and the control unit 11 proceeds to step 200.
The subsequent processing is performed, and if the number of data is equal to or greater than the predetermined number, the input data is transmitted as is via the wireless device 9.

When the communication is finished, the call can be ended by pressing the end key 1J of the operation section 1. Note that even if the handset telephone 4 is used after making a call using the operation unit 1, it is possible to have a normal conversation.
