In Figure 1, 1 is the input section, and in the case of registration, 1 for the name and telephone number of the called party, and the alphanumeric keys for inputting the registered name of the called party and the registration. This is a selection key for selecting whether to make a call or make a call. 2 is a display section that displays the registered name and telephone number. 3 is a writing circuit for writing the name and telephone number of the called party into the registration data table memory. Reference numeral 4 denotes a registration data table memory for storing the name and telephone number of the called party. Reference numeral 6 denotes an input unit 1, and when a call is selected, a search circuit searches for the input name of the called party from the registered name in the registered data table memo'4KI> and obtains the corresponding telephone number. 6
is a calling unit that makes a call to the destinations corresponding to the telephone numbers obtained by the search circuit 5.

Flowcharts shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 regarding the telephone set as described above that specifies the destination name. I will explain while referring to it.

First, in step 1, enter key 1 whether to register or send.
yoυselect. In case of registration, proceed to step 2; in case of transmission, proceed to step 6.

The case of registration will be explained first. In step 2, the name and telephone number of the person to be called are input using the alphanumeric keys. The contents of the input data are displayed on the display unit 2 in step 3. In step 4, the telephone number is written in the registration data table memory 4 in the order of all the characters of the input data, and the registration operation is completed.

Next, the case of transmission will be explained. In step 6, use the alphanumeric keys to input the name of the person you are calling. This operation is similar to dialing on a conventional telephone, but the feature is that characters are entered instead of numbers. After the input, the contents are displayed on the display unit 2 for confirmation in step 6. In step 7, an operation is performed to search the registered data table memory 4 for the input name. In the search, the first character of the input name is compared from the registered data arranged in alphabetical order, and when a match is found, the second character is compared, and this operation is repeated until the last character. After the input name is searched, in step 8, the registered data table memory 4 is searched for the telephone number corresponding to the input name.

In step 9, a dial signal is sent out in the same way as a conventional telephone.

As described above, according to the telephone of the present invention, the corresponding telephone number is manually searched for by keying the name of the person to be called, and the call is made as a dial signal, so it is possible to communicate even if the telephone number is not known. .

In addition, Figure 4 is book 51! FIG. 2 is an external view of a telephone according to an example. 41 is a receiver, 42 is a display section, 43 is a part of an input key, 4
