Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] When label information consisting of alphanumeric characters is input, a processor extracts the corresponding numerical information from a memory that stores the numerical information. This invention relates to an automatic dialing system in which the label information is read out and used to create and send a dial signal requesting a certain specific telephone service corresponding to the label information.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of automatic dialing system, only numeric information could be stored in memory corresponding to label information, so a series of dials consisting of a service identification number, a service instruction code, a destination telephone number, etc. If you want to receive a predetermined service by sending a series of dial numbers by simply inputting the label information by registering (memorizing) a number in memory in correspondence with one label information, you can If you try to receive the same service by changing only the destination phone number among the dialed numbers, the entire dialed number consisting of the service identification number, service instruction code, destination phone number, etc. will be changed every time the destination phone number changes. It was necessary to prepare one piece of corresponding label information and register it in memory.

In other words, even if you only wanted to receive the same service with a different telephone number, you would have to re-register a long series of dialed numbers including the service identification number, service instruction code, etc. from the beginning. However, the procedure for doing so is cumbersome, and the conventional automatic dialing system has the disadvantage that it is not easy to use.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Therefore, it can be said that the problem to be solved by the present invention is to improve the above-mentioned inconvenience in the conventional automatic dialing system.

The present invention is characterized in that a dial signal representing the specific service request is edited and sent.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is an automatic dialing device;
2 is a keyboard, 3 is a processor, 4 is a display unit,
5 is a memory, 6 is a push button, 7 is a push button signal transmitter (hereinafter abbreviated as PB signal transmitter), 8
9 is a subscriber line, and 9 is a buffer memory.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the configuration of the memory 5 in FIG. 1. In the figure, N indicates a numerical display, and C indicates a comment display, respectively.

Referring to FIG. 2, the circuit operation of FIG. 1 will be explained using a credit service (a service in which call charges are charged to a designated telephone number) as an example. The dial number that needs to be sent when receiving credit service is the credit service identification number (e.g. “123”) + service instruction code (e.g.
“1” means a credit card call) + registered phone number (designation of phone number for billing, e.g. “0422594293”) + password (e.g. “1234”) +
This is the telephone number of the other party (for example, "0222594300").

In addition, as a premise that such a service is possible, a second
As shown in the figure, it is assumed that the number "0222594300" is registered in correspondence with the label "YAMAMOTO".

When attempting to receive credit services,
In order for the subscriber to register the required dial digits from the keyboard 2 of the automatic dialing device 1,
When the "PROGRAM" key (not shown) is pressed, the processor 3 detects this and displays "LABEL?" on the display section 4 (to prompt the subscriber to input a label name).

When the subscriber inputs the label name "CREDIT" from the keyboard 2, the processor 3 receives it and stores "CREDIT" in the memory 5.
Next, "NUMBER?" is displayed on the display section 4 to request input of dial numbers. After the subscriber enters the number "12310422594293", presses the comment key displayed as (COMMENT〓〓〓〓〓〓〓), then enters the comment information as "PASSWORD?" 〓〓〓〓〓〓
) and then input the comment information “AITESAKI?”, the processor 3 receives it, stores it in the memory 5 as “CREDIT” and stores it as “12310422594293”.
The numerical information ``PASSWORD?'' and the comment information ``AITESAKI?'' are stored as shown in FIG. 2, and the registration is completed.

When making a call using a credit card service, the service subscriber must press the keyboard 2 of the automatic dialing device 1 before dialing.
When the label information "CREDIT" is input, the processor 3 receives it and stores "CREDIT" in the buffer memory 9.

Next, the processor 3 accesses the memory 5, searches for “CREDIT”, reads the corresponding “12310422594293PASSWORD?AITESAKI?”, and sets “CREDIT” in the buffer memory 9 to “12310422594293PASSWORD?”. AITESAKI? ”
Replace with

Next, the processor 3 detects the comment "PASSWORD?" and displays "PASSWORD?" on the display section 4. When the service subscriber enters "1234" as the password, the processor 3 receives it. , replace "PASSWORD?" in the buffer memory 9 with "1234".
Processor 3 then comments “AITESAKI”
is detected and "AITESAKI?" is displayed on the display section, the service subscriber inputs "YAMAMOTO" as the destination telephone number using the label information. When the processor 3 receives it, it replaces "AITESAKI?" in the buffer memory 9 with "YAMAMOTO". Processor 3
then accesses memory 5 and
When "YAMAMOTO" is detected and the corresponding "0222594300" is read out, and "YAMAMOTO" in the buffer memory 9 is replaced with "0222594300", everything in the buffer memory 9 is converted to numerical information and becomes "1231042259429312340222594300".

Of course, the service subscriber may input the numerical information "0222594300" instead of the label information "YAMAMOTO".

Since the dial digits to be transmitted have been determined in the manner described above, the processor 3 displays "OK" on the display section 4, and the subscriber then
To further off-hook and send dialed digits, press the “DIAL” key on keyboard 2 (not shown).
Press. Processor 3 then detects this and
When “1231042259429312340222594300” is sent to the PB signal transmitter 7,
The PB signal transmitter 7 transmits the received numbers in the form of a PB signal (push button signal) via the subscriber line 8, whereby the subscriber is connected to the other party and a call can be started.

FIG. 3 shows the operational flow of the automatic dialing device described above. There is no need to explain Fig. 3 again.

In this example, the label name "CREDIT" is entered from the keyboard 2 after "LABEL?" is displayed in response to pressing the "PROGRAM" key, but if it can be distinguished from other label names, "C" may also be entered. , it goes without saying that a dedicated "CREDIT" key may be provided and pressed.

In addition, in the above embodiment, when inserting a comment, press the comment key displayed as (COMMENT〓〓〓〓〓〓〓), but if the input character is already registered, it will not be input. It is also possible to treat the characters as label information, or as comment information if they are not registered. An embodiment in that case will be described above.

Before attempting to receive credit services, the subscriber must press the keyboard 2 of the automatic dialing device 1.
To register the required dial digits,
When the "PROGRAM" key is pressed, the processor 3 detects this and displays "LABEL?" on the display section 4 (to prompt the subscriber to input a label name).

When the subscriber inputs the label name "CREDIT" from the keyboard 2, the processor 3 receives it and stores it in the memory 5 as shown in FIG.
"CREDIT" is stored and "NUMBER?" is displayed on the display section 4 to request input of dialed numbers. Subscriber “1231ID PASSWORD?
AITESAKI? ” (assuming that “0422594293” is registered in the memory 5 as shown in FIG. 4, corresponding to the label “ID”), the processor 3 receives it and stores it in the memory 5. As shown in Figure 4, “1234ID” corresponds to “CREDIT”.
PASSWORD? AITESAKI? ” is stored and registration is completed.

Therefore, when attempting to make a call using the credit service, enter "CREDIT" on the keyboard 2 of the automatic dialing device 1 before dialing, and the processor 3 receives it.
“CREDIT” is stored in the buffer memory 9. Processor 3 accesses memory 5 and
Search for “CREDIT” and the corresponding “1231ID”
PASSWORD? AITESAKI? ” and set “CREDIT” in the buffer memory 9 to “1231ID”.
PASSWORD? AITESAKI? ”.

Next, processor 3 detects "ID", accesses memory 5, reads "0422594293" corresponding to "ID", and replaces "ID" in buffer memory 9 with "0422594293". When the processor 3 detects “PASSWORD?” and accesses the memory, since “PASSWORD?” is not registered, it determines that it is comment information, and displays “PASSWORD?” on the display section 4, and the subscriber , "1234" is input as the password, and the processor 3 receives it and replaces "PASSWORD?" in the buffer memory with "1234".

Similarly, processor 3 asks “AITESAKI?”
is judged to be comment information, and displays “AITESAKI?” on the display unit 4. The subscriber inputs “0222594300” from the keyboard 2 as the other party's phone number.
Enter. When processor 3 receives it,
If “AITESAKI?” in buffer memory is replaced with “0222594300”, buffer memory 9
Everything inside is converted to numerical information and becomes "1231042259429312340222594300".

Thereafter, the dialed digits are transmitted in the same manner as in the previously described embodiment. Fifth
The figure shows the flow of the operation of the embodiment just described.

Note that when timing is required when sending the dial number, for example, if it is necessary to set the timing between "123" and "1042259429312340222594300", it is also possible to register the timing time. Also, instead of registering the timing time, make it possible to register "pause" (for example, "123 (pause〓〓〓〓))
1042259429312340222594300”)
When the subscriber gives an instruction to start dialing, it transmits "123", then pauses the transmission of dialed digits, and
When you issue the dial start instruction again,
It is also possible to send “1042259429312340222594300”.

In the example described above, a case has been described in which a PB signal is used as a dial signal, but if the telephone is a dial pulse telephone, a dial pulse signal may be used as a dial signal. Others are used as dial signals in modems, etc.
FSK or PSK modulated signals can also be used.

In addition, in the above explanation, as shown in Figure 1, PB
The above is a case in which the signal transmitter 7 and the subscriber line 8 are directly connected, but it is also possible to send the signals used in PB, signals, momde, etc. to the subscriber line 8 by acoustic coupling. . In this case, the output of the signal transmitter 7 is connected to a speaker, converted into sound, and inputted from the mouthpiece of the telephone 6.

Furthermore, if this device has only the PB signal sending function, the first connection from the dial pulse signal telephone, for example, in the above example, "123" is connected by the dial pulse of the telephone, and only the following numbers are sent from the device.
It is possible to use it as a PB signal.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to associate a combination of comment information and numeric information with one label information, so that the number that is fixed for each type of service is a numeric value that can be changed for each call. The number to be dialed can be registered for dialing by registering it as a comment, and there is an advantage that there is no need to remember the dialing number input procedure for each service. Particularly when the dial number has many digits, input guidance using comment information is very effective. Also, like credit card services, passwords and other numbers that you do not want others to know,
If numbers are entered for each call, there is an advantage that even if the automatic dialing device is lost, the password etc. will not be known to others.
