Abstract

PURPOSE:To display a dial number frequently used in an initial part by updating the frequency of use of the dial number when the dial number registered in a memory is read out and rearranging the dial numbers registered in the memory in the order of the frequency of use. CONSTITUTION:A user registers the dial numbers on an opposite-side in the memory 7 in a desired order. When the user selects a read mode through the function key of an input part 2 and calls the dial number of an address (n) in the memory 7, the dial number (a) of the address (n) is read from the memory 7, the frequency of use beta of the address (n) is read from the memory 7, the frequency of use beta is increased by one, and a frequency of use beta1 of a preceding address n-1 is read from the memory 7. When the frequency of use beta of the address (n) is larger than the frequency of use beta1 of the preceding address n-1, the dial number (a) of the address (n) is registered in the address n-1 of the memory 7. Thus, the frequently used dial number is displayed in the initial- part.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dial number registration device used in telephones, key telephone devices, and the like.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, telephones, key telephone devices, and the like are equipped with a memory for registering the dialed number of the other party in advance, and have a function such as an electronic telephone directory that displays the dialed number registered in this memory.

Here, when registering the other party's dial number in the memory, it is necessary to register it sequentially from the first address in the memory, and therefore, the user can register multiple dial numbers by indirectly specifying the address in the memory in sequence. become.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-mentioned conventional telephones and key telephone devices, the dialed number is registered at the same address unless the user re-registers the dialed number, so the relationship between the address and the dialed number is not correct. There is a problem that dial numbers that are fixed and therefore frequently used are not necessarily displayed at the beginning of the memory, which is inconvenient.

In particular, when registering a large number of dial numbers, dial numbers that have been registered for a long time are usually numbers that are rarely used.
In order to improve usability, users must re-register dial numbers in order of frequency of use.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above conventional problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a dial number registration device that is easy to use.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a memory for storing dialed numbers and their frequency of use in correspondence,
Dial numbers are registered in each address area of this memory in the order they are entered, and when a dial number registered in this memory is read out, the frequency of use of that dial number is updated, and the dial number registered in memory is The numbers are rearranged in order of frequency of use and are registered in each address area of memory.

Effect of the Invention With the above-described configuration, the present invention can display frequently used dial numbers first, thereby realizing a dial number registration device that is easy to use.

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a telephone equipped with a dial number registration device according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the dial number registration device of FIG. 1 during registration, and FIG. FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the operation of the dial number registration device of FIG. 1 at the time of reading.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a line closing/originating means for closing or opening a line or sending a dial signal to the line; 2 is a line closing/originating means;
Input means 3 includes dial keys and various function keys for inputting dialed numbers and abbreviated numbers, and is a communication circuit for forming a communication path between a line, a speaker 4, and a microphone 5.

6 controls the entire phone, especially the controls in Figures 2 and 3.
A central processing unit (CPU) 7 that performs dial number registration control (dial number registration means 6a) and rearrangement control (dial number rearrangement means 6b) as shown in the figure stores dial numbers and their frequency of use. memory for, 8
is a display unit for displaying a dial number and an abbreviated number corresponding to the address of the memory 7 in which the dial number is registered.

First, the operation at the time of registration in the above embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

After the user selects the registration mode using the function keys of the human power section 2, in step 21, the user inputs the dial number α, and in the subsequent step 22, the reading frequency β of the dial number α is set to "0".

Next, in step 23, the last address n already registered in the memory 7 is read out, in step 24, address n is incremented by one, and in step 25
, register the dial number a and the read frequency β (=rOJ) in the area of the next address n+l of the memory 7,
In step 26, the abbreviated number and the like corresponding to address n+1 are displayed on the display section 8.

Therefore, the user can register the dial numbers of the other party in the memory 7 in a desired order.

Next, the read operation of the above embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3.

After the user selects the read mode via the function key of the input unit 2, in step 27, when the user calls up the dial number of address n in the memory 7, in the following step 28, the dial number a of the address n is retrieved from the memory 7. The dial number a is read out and displayed on the display section 8 in step 29 .

Next, in step 30, the usage frequency β of address n is read from the memory 7, in step 30, this usage frequency β is incremented by one, and in step 32, the usage frequency β1 of the previous address nl is read from the memory 7, In step 33, the frequency of use β and the frequency of use β1 are compared.

If the usage frequency β of address n is greater than the usage frequency βl of the previous address n-1, the process proceeds to step 34, where the dial number a of address n is registered in address n-1 of the memory 7, and in step 35, a new Address n-1 (
(abbreviated number, etc.) and the dial number α are displayed on the display unit 8.

Further, in step 36, the dial number α1 of the address n-1 is registered in the address n of the memory 7, and in step 37, the new address n (abbreviated number etc.) and the dial number α1 are displayed on the display section 8, and the dial number The rearrangement is completed (step 39).

On the other hand, if the usage frequency β of address n is not greater than the usage frequency β of the previous address n-1, the process branches to step 38, and the address n (abbreviated number) and dial number α are displayed on the display section 8. Finish the process.

The user can use the address and dial number displayed on the display section 8 to operate the number corresponding to the address and make a call.

Therefore, according to the above embodiment, when the user reads out the dial numbers when making a call, etc., the numbers are rearranged in the memory in the order of frequently used dial numbers, making it easy to use when making a call, etc. Even if a person forgets the abbreviated number or the like corresponding to an address, searching is easy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION As described in detail, the present invention includes a memory for storing dialed numbers and their frequency of use in correspondence with each other, and sequentially registers the dialed numbers in each address area of this memory in the order in which they are input. When a dial number registered and recorded in memory is read out, the frequency of use of that dial number is updated, the dial numbers registered in memory are rearranged in order of frequency of use, and the area of each address in memory is updated. Since the most frequently used dial numbers are displayed first, it is possible to realize a dial number registration device that is easy to use.
