[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to an auto dial will be described.

As shown in FIG. 3, 1-6-1, the lamp part of the electric key lamp board B, 1-6 in FIG.
-6-2 is provided.

An ID code is stored in the magnetic card l-3,
When inserted into the magnetic card reader 1-4 in Figure 1 (No. 5-
1, 501), the content is read by the magnetic card reader 1-4 in FIG. Figure 5-1, 502).

The ffl key run boards B1-6 in Figure 3 are used for multiple purposes in soft electronic control, so when you want to use them as auto dials, use the electronic key lamp board A in Figure 1! ! ! ! Set one of them for auto-dial designation (hereinafter referred to as auto-dial button) and press it (Figure 5-1, 503), the control device! !
1-13 (Figure 2) is the input/output interface 1-11
It identifies this via the line interface 1-12, reads the ID code stored in the storage device 1l-14, and transfers it to the exchange via the line interface 1-12 along with the information that the auto dial button was pressed (No. 5-1). Figure 504), the central control unit in Figure 4! ! 8 receives this via the telephone interface 2 and the signal reception/distribution device 7, and then stores it in the storage device! t
Read out the auto-dial information of the corresponding code from the auto-dial table in 9 (Fig. 5-1, 505), and transfer this to the A filling machine via the route through which the ID code was received. (Fig. 5-1, 506), the control device fit-13 in Fig. 2 is the line interface 1-1.
When this is received from 2, the person's name code is sent to the character generator 1-
(Figure 5-1, 507)
, ft! Keyboard B character display device 1-6-1 (
The caller looks at the person's name displayed on board B (Figure 5-2, 508) and responds to the desired person. Press the telephone key 1-6-2 (Fig. 3) (Fig. 5-2, 509), control device i'1
When l-13 identifies the number of the pressed auto-dial call button, it stores the ID code already stored in storage device 1-13.
14 and transfer both to the exchange (Fig. 5-2, 510).

In FIG. 4, the central control device 8 calls the auto-dial table again from the storage device 9, identifies the called number corresponding to the ID code and telephone key number (see FIG. 5-2, 511), and obtains the called number. A connection is made between the called telephone and the calling telephone using the (FIG. 5-2, 512).

In this embodiment, the exchange has an auto-dial table and only the ta magnetic card ID code.
Even if a perforated card, which is difficult to rewrite, is used instead of a magnetic card, it is easy to change the auto-dial number, etc.
However, in the case of a public communication network that has a nationwide reach, it is necessary to read out the auto-dial table recorded in the switchboard of the station to which it belongs, so it is not possible to use a magnetic card. Auto dial table
It is more practical to write a pull.

That is, the magnetic card stores the correspondence between the auto-dial telephone key number and the other party's name and telephone number, and the communication terminal device reads this and displays the name on the display device corresponding to the telephone key number of the soft telephone key. , ffl[! By pressing , the corresponding phone number will be sent to the track. Since this method does not involve a communication network directly, it is versatile in that if a terminal device with this function is installed, an individual auto-dial service is possible.

If the magnetic card is to be used nationwide as a public communication network, all digits including the area code must be stored in the magnetic card, and the area code of the station to which it belongs must be stored in the communication terminal device. When the toll number read from the toll number matches the toll number of the own station stored in the communication terminal device, it is necessary to skip the toll number and send out the numbers after the local number as a dial signal.

In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3, there are 20 telephone keys for auto dialing, and up to 20 parties can be registered.
When you want to register 0 or more people, use one of the ff1l on the electric key lamp board A1-5 in Figure 1 to switch pages, and by pressing the corresponding electric key, you can switch to the next 20 names. If you do.

The number of parties that can be registered depends on the hardware of the communication terminal, and is limited only by the storage capacity of the magnetic card.
