JPH0370344A - Automatic dialing system for digital multi-function telephone set - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To avoid a trouble for storage of name cards or addition or replacement of them by storing read information and generating a name card library when a bar code printed on a name card is read by a digital multi-function telephone set and a telephone number is dialed automatically. CONSTITUTION:Information such as a telephone number is printed as a bar code on a name card 1, a bar code reader 3 connecting to a digital multi- function telephone set 2 with a display is used to read the bar code and automatic dialing is given to an electronic exchange 8. After an ID card passes through an ID card reader 5, a registration button 4 of the bar code reader 3 is depressed to start a name card library registration control section 9 and a conversion output section 10 thereby registering telephone numbers onto a flexible disk 6 or a hard disk 7 as personal name card library while revising the registration number data at all times in the alphabetical order. Thus, only required information is indexed easily on a display device to attain automatic dialing.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an automatic dialing system for digital multi-function telephones, and in particular, it sequentially registers input information from barcodes and stores a personal business card library in the attached memory of the digital telephone. This paper relates to an automatic dialing method for a digital multi-function telephone.

[Conventional technology]

The conventional automatic dialing method of digital multi-function telephones only has the function of automatically placing a call by reading the barcode printed on a business card into the digital multi-function telephone, and storing the read information to create a business card library. There was no way to use it for automatic calls from the next time onwards.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional automatic dialing method described above requires inputting the barcode on the business card each time you make a call based on the business card, which is time-consuming and requires that you always have a large number of business cards on hand. When storing business cards in a general business card folder,
There is a problem in that the time and effort required to add and replace business cards cannot be ignored.

[Means to solve the problem]

The automatic dialing system of the digital multifunction telephone of the present invention uses a barcode reader connected to the digital multifunction telephone that reads the barcode containing the telephone number printed on the business card, and a caller who has his or her own dedicated memory area. an ID card reader that reads an ID card for use; a business card library registration control unit that is used to register a telephone number input by a caller using the business card in a business card library;
This configuration includes a conversion output unit that converts the registration number registered in the business card library in order to align the order of newly input names and telephone numbers, and a memory that stores information in the business card library.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

The present invention reads the barcode from a business card 1 on which information such as a name and telephone number is printed in a prescribed format using a barcode reader 3 connected to a digital multifunction telephone 2 with a display, and then reads the barcode from an electronic exchange. If you wish to automatically make a call to the ID card reader 5 and also register the information just read in the business card library on the flexible disk 6 or hard disk 7,
By swiping the D card and pressing the registration button 4 provided on the barcode reader 3, the business card library registration control unit 9 converts the registration number already registered according to the input of a new name and telephone number. Conversion output section 1
0 and register the telephone number in the flexible disk 6 or hard disk 7 as a personal business card library while always changing the data registration number in the order of the name. If you want to call up the created personal business card library again, swipe your ID card through the ID card reader 5 and execute the call command from the digital multifunction phone 2. A list of names and phone numbers will appear on the display in the order of name. By entering the registration number, the phone number corresponding to the registration number will be displayed on the conversion output section 1.
0, and the call is automatically sent to the electronic exchange 8.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention allows you to create a personal business card library in memory by registering when making a call to the other party using a business card with a barcode printed on it.
