Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the dialing by providing separately a registration keyboard having all Kana (Japanese syllabary) letter keys and numeric keys and a dialing keyboard having series keys corresponding to series of all Kana letters and a dial key respectively. CONSTITUTION:A resistration keyboard is provided with Kana letter keys 2a of 'A'-'N', numeric keys 2b of '0'-'9' and other special keys 2c such as 'registration'. Then in the case of registration, the registration exclusive use keyboard 2 is used, in which the kana letter keys 2a of 'A'-'N' and numeric keys 2b of '0'-'9' are provided. Moreover, in the case of dialing, the name is retrieved by using a dialing keyboard 3 with a few key numbers such as series keys 3a. Thus, the registration exclusive use keyboard 2 and the retrieval keyboard 3 are provided separately and keys suitable for the keyboards 2, 3 are arranged to improve the operability.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an automatic calling device for a telephone that calls a pre-registered scarce telephone number and makes a self-help call.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, by operating a keyboard with kana character keys and number keys, the name of the destination and its telephone number are memorized, and when making a call, enter the name and call the number.
E: There are devices that read a phone number and automatically make a call.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the above-mentioned conventional device, the keyboard is used both for registering and searching names and telephone numbers, and there is a disadvantage in that it is easy for the user to operate e-A1 when making a call.

This invention was made to solve these problems, and improves operability by providing separate registration keyboards and search keyboards and arranging keys suitable for each keyboard. An automatic telephone dialing device? The purpose is to obtain.

[Means to solve the problem]

The automatic dialing device for a telephone according to the present invention includes a telephone, a registration keyboard with kana character keys and numeric keys corresponding to all kana characters, and a first line corresponding to each first letter of all kana characters. The letter keys and the call key that makes all the fingers on the phone above? a dialing keyboard having a dial; a registration means for storing an input name and its telephone number in a storage means in response to a key input from the registration keyboard; a search control means for searching the storage means and reading out a name and its telephone number; It is equipped with a call f (16 means) for making a call, and a display means for displaying the name and its telephone number registered by the above-mentioned registration means and the name searched by the above-mentioned search control means.

[Function] In this invention, after registering the name of the destination and its telephone number using the registration keyboard, a dialing keyboard separate from the registration keyboard is used to search for the name and make the call. .

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. An embodiment of this invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 6? 1 is a block diagram for explaining functions, and FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram showing the arrangement of the entire device. In the figure, fi+ is a telephone device, 2) is a keyboard for registration, and as shown in the detailed diagram in Figure 3, kana character keys (2a) of Kr ``a'' ~ ``N'', ``0

Further, a dot matrix type fluorescent display tube or the like is used as the display means (8).

Next, the operation will be explained along the flowchart 2 of FIG. This flowchart is
This shows the flow of operation. First, the user attempts to execute the registration process.

While the force processing is executed, its name is displayed in step (S3), for example, as in the display means (8) of FIG. 9. Next, when the user inputs a telephone number using the numeric keys (2b), the process is carried out in step (84), and the number is displayed on the display means (8;) in step (S5). Next, when the user operates the special key (8C) "Register", it is determined in step (S6),
In step (87), RAM (1) is used as storage means 6).

Returning to Sxo), the primary name is read from RAM (17b) and displayed in step (Szx).

Unless the user inputs the call key (8b), the operations of steps (SLO) to (SX2) are repeated, and for example, the name on the display means (8) is updated every second, and the "A" in progress is updated. The names are read one after another in the order of ``O'' to ``O'', and the user presses the call key (8) when the desired name is displayed.
By inputting b), you can make a call to the desired destination. Note that the same operation as described above is performed for input using the other bullet key (8a).

As mentioned above, at the time of registration, all kana characters from "A" to "N" [corresponding kana character key (2a) and - (8b
) is used, so the registration process can be done quickly. In addition, the registration keyboard (2
Once 1 is registered, it is normally used less often than the keyboard 31 for dialing, so it can be stored in the glove box, or it can be stored in the α barrel of the transmitting device itself. It can also be done. When making a call, the name can be searched using a dialing keyboard (31) with a small number of keys (31), which has the advantage of being easy to operate for users who have to concentrate on driving. Furthermore, since the single-call keyboard 13) has a small number of keys, it can be made compact in size, and also has the advantage that it does not take up much space when attached to the dash board.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, there is provided a registration keyboard having kana character keys and numeric keys respectively corresponding to all kana characters, and bullet keys and number keys respectively corresponding to each bullet among all kana characters. Since the dialing keyboards each having a key are provided separately, the dialing operation can be made very easily.
