Abstract

PURPOSE:To find out early a mis-entry of an abbreviation key and to recognize clearly a dial digit for being dialed by displaying all digit number at dialing of an abbreviation key and displaying the digit with blinking during dialing. CONSTITUTION:When an abbreviation number is dialed, a dial data corresponding to the depressed dial key is fed from a dial sending section 11, a CPU 15 accesses a RAM 12, a synthesized dial data is fed from the CPU 15 to a liquid crystal display section driver 13 and all digits of the dial number are displayed simultaneously on the liquid crystal display section. Thus, mis-dialing of the abbreviation number is found out early. Similarly, each digit or dialing is blinked and the dial digit being dialed is recognized clearly.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a telephone equipped with two functions: a microcomputer-controlled display function and a speed dial function.

(Prior Art) Fig. 2 shows the speed dial contents of a conventional telephone and the display contents of the display device. Fig. 2 (a) shows the speed dial contents, and Fig. 2 (b) shows the liquid crystal display. Shows the device display.

As shown in Figure 2, when the speed dial 000 is pressed, the transmission dial will shift in order on the display section of the liquid crystal display (LCD) etc. in synchronization with the timing at which the stored numbers are transmitted. It was displayed one after another. There were also telephones that displayed all digits on the dial at - degrees.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the above-mentioned conventional telephone equipped with speed dial and display functions, the dial is displayed on the display in accordance with the timing of dial transmission, so it is difficult for the caller to
Since the registered abbreviated dial number was not changed until all digits had been dialed, it was not possible to discover if the abbreviated key was pressed incorrectly, resulting in a call being made to the wrong person. In addition, in the case where the dial is displayed every time, there is a problem in that it is not possible to know which digit is currently being dialed or how many digits remain to be dialed. In particular, when the line used is a dial pulse type, it is difficult to predict the time until dialing is completed.

The present invention solves these conventional problems,
When operating the speed dial, all digits registered in the speed dial will be displayed.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a telephone that can visually display the dial digits that are being sent.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a memory section (RAM) for storing speed dials in a telephone, and a liquid crystal display device (RAM) for storing speed dials in a telephone.
an LCD driver that drives the LCD (hereinafter referred to as LCD);
A microcomputer is provided to control these, and when a shortcut key is pressed, the microcomputer accesses the speed dial memory (RAM), synthesizes the obtained data, writes it to the memory in the LCD driver, and - simultaneously. displayed on the LCD. Also, in order to make the digit that is currently being dialed appear to be blinking, space data is sent to the corresponding digit.

(Function) Therefore, according to the present invention, when the shortcut key is pressed,
All digits of the abbreviation registration corresponding to the pressed abbreviation key can be written into the memory of the LCD driver and displayed on the LCD all at once. Further, since the space is controlled to be sent to the LCD driver at an interval such that the currently sent digit blinks in synchronization with the dial sending timing, the sending dial digit can be made to blink.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 denotes a dial sending unit that sends dial data to the microcomputer, and 12 denotes a storage unit (RAM) that stores abbreviated key data.

13 is an LCD driver that controls the LCD; 14 is a dial sending relay; and 15 is a microcomputer (CPU) that performs various controls.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. When a speed dial is sent, dial data corresponding to the pressed speed dial is input from the dial sending unit 11 to the CPU 15, and the CPU 15 accesses the storage unit 12 and synthesizes the stored dial data into the storage unit 12. . The synthesized data is read out by the CPU 5 and written into the memory of the LCD driver 13 (not shown).
, on the LCD (not shown).
15 controls.

Further, when the CPU 15 reads the combined data from the storage unit 12, the CPU 15 controls the dial sending relay 14 to operate in accordance with the dial data in order from the first digit, and in synchronization with this, the CPU 15 controls the dial sending relay 14 to operate in accordance with the dial data. Data sent to the LCD driver 13 is controlled so that the LCD corresponding to the dial digit blinks.

In this way, according to the above embodiment, when the abbreviation key is pressed, all the dialed digits are displayed on the LCD simultaneously, and the dialed digit number that is being sent can be made to blink.

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the above embodiments, the present invention, in a telephone equipped with a shortcut key and a display function, when the shortcut key is pressed, dials sent to the display section under the control of the CPU are displayed all at once. This makes it possible to detect errors in pressing the speed key at an early stage and reduce the number of errors.Also, by flashing the digit number that is being dialed, it is possible to clearly see which digit is currently being dialed. It has the effect of being able to.
