Abstract

PURPOSE:To preserve messages as a file without restrictions on the number of messages by connecting a key telephone to a personal computer provided with a filing device where plural data can be preserved. CONSTITUTION:After a key telephone set 11 calls a key telephone set 1n, a special number for preservation of a message and the message number are inputted from the key telephone set 11. When receiving the signal of this special number and the message number through a telephone set interface 16, a main control part 19 controls a message transmission control part 20 to read out a message pattern corresponding to the message number from message patterns preliminarily stored in a message memory 18 and sends transmission data to the message transmission control part 20. The control part 20 sends these transmission data to a data converter 15. The converter 14 transform these received transmission data to data, which can be received by a personal computer PC 15, to send these data to the PC 15. The PC 15 edits these received data into messages for classifications of key telephone sets which receive messages, and they are filed in the filing device.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a button telephone device having a function of displaying data on a display section on the button telephone.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, two types of button telephone devices have been equipped with a storage section in the main device that can record a limited number of messages from the button telephones in the same button telephone device. .

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional key telephone device described above, the number of messages that can be recorded for one key telephone device is determined in the storage section in the main device, so it is not possible to accept more messages than the predetermined number. There is a drawback that there is no

[Means to solve the problem]

The button telephone device of the present invention includes a telephone interface that accommodates a plurality of button telephones each having a display, and a message storage section that stores a plurality of messages from the plurality of button telephones and a predetermined message pattern. In a button telephone device comprising a main device having
data converting means connected to a personal computer having a file device capable of storing a plurality of data and converting an input message into data that can be stored in the file device through processing by the personal computer; and message sending control means for controlling the message to be sent to the data converting means in accordance with a preset signal input from the data converting means.

〔Example〕

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a top view of a button telephone in this embodiment, and FIG. 3 is an example of a message pattern for message numbers in a message memory in this embodiment. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of sending data, and FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a message file.

In FIG. 1, the present embodiment includes a main device 13 accommodating button telephones 11 to 1° equipped with a display, a file device,
The main device 13 includes button telephones 1□ to 11. a telephone interface 16 that interfaces to the button telephone 1. ~1ゎCall path switch 1 that forms a mutual communication path
7, a message memory 18 that stores messages from the key telephones 11 to 1fi and predetermined message patterns, and a message sending control that sends the messages to the data conversion device 14 in order to store the messages in the file device of the PCl 5. section 20 and main device 13
The main control section 19 controls the entire system.

In FIG. 2, button telephones 1 to 17 in this embodiment are shown.
A typical button telephone 1 includes a handset 1o, a display 11 for displaying a message, and a dial button 12 for inputting a signal for sending a message.

Next, regarding the message storage operation of this embodiment, Fig. 1~
This will be explained using FIG.

For example, after the button telephone 11 calls the button telephone 1fl, the special number and message number for leaving a message are input from the dial button 12 of the button telephone 11. When the main control section 19 receives the special number signal and message number for leaving the message via the telephone interface 16, it controls the message transmission control section 20 to store the message from the message memory 18 in advance as shown in FIG. The message pattern corresponding to the message number is read out from the message patterns in the list, and the message sending data is sent in the order of the button telephone number that receives the message, the message pattern, the message sending time, and the button telephone number that sent the message as shown in FIG. Control unit 20
Send to. The message sending control unit 20 sends these sending data to the data conversion device 14. The data conversion device 14 converts the received sending data into data that can be received by the PCl5, and sends the converted data to the PCl5.

The PCI 5 edits the received data into a message for the button telephone that receives the message, as shown in FIG. 5, and files it in the file device (hereinafter, this file will be referred to as a message file).

Every time the PCl5 receives the transmission data shown in FIG.
The message file shown in FIG. 5 is updated.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention includes a telephone interface that accommodates a plurality of button telephones each having a display, and a message storage section that stores a plurality of messages from the plurality of button telephones and a predetermined message pattern. In a button telephone device including a main device,
data converting means connected to a personal computer having a file device capable of storing a plurality of data and converting an input message into data that can be stored in the file device through processing by the personal computer; and a message sending control means for controlling the sending of the message to the data converting means according to a preset signal input of the key telephone device. An advantage is that an unlimited number of files can be saved as files in a personal computer connected via a data conversion device.
