According to the present invention, when a telephone number is input, the comparison unit compares this telephone number with the number registered in the erroneous call prevention target number table.

When the comparison unit determines that the telephone number matches the number registered in the number table to prevent erroneous calls, the alarm means is activated, so that the operator can prevent erroneous calls due to erroneous dialing. You will know that you have dialed the target phone number and can stop the call.

(Example) The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of the main parts of a facsimile machine or a telephone to which the present invention is applied. In the figure, 1 is a key input section, and 2 is a display section, which are arranged on the panel of a facsimile machine or telephone. The keypad unit 1 includes a numeric keypad for inputting telephone numbers, one-touch and shortcut keys, function keys for inputting various functions, and the like.

3 is a system control unit, which controls the operation of the entire apparatus. 4 is a memory in which programs and data necessary for system control, full-digit telephone numbers corresponding to the one-touch and shortcut keys, etc. are stored, and is used as a work area, and in the case of a facsimile machine, image data is stored. Department. Reference numeral 5 denotes a line control unit, which performs calling operations and the like.

Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the functional block diagram of FIG.

11 is a number input key for inputting a telephone number, one-touch or abbreviated number; 112 is a telephone number memory for temporarily storing the telephone number input from the number input key 11, or a telephone number corresponding to a one-touch or abbreviated number; Department. 13 is a line control unit that calls the telephone number; 14 is a telephone number to be prevented from making an erroneous call; for example, rl 10J, rl
19J etc. are registered in the number table, 15 is the comparison section,
1B is an alarm means, 17 is a stop key, and 18 is a line disconnection means.

The alarm means 16 may be any alarm means such as sound or light, and the line disconnection means 18 corresponds to a hook switch in the case of a telephone, a reset button, etc. in the case of a facsimile machine.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

First, the telephone number of the communication partner is input from the number entry key 11 using the numeric keypad, one-touch or abbreviated keys. This telephone number is temporarily stored in the telephone number storage section 12. When a telephone number is input using one-touch or abbreviation keys, it is converted into a full-digit telephone number using a number table (not shown) and then temporarily stored in the telephone number storage section 12.

Further, the telephone number is sent to the line control section 13, a call is made, and the call is sent out to the line.

In the line control section 13, when the call is completed, the comparison section 1
5 is activated. The comparison unit 15 determines whether the number stored in the telephone number storage unit 12 and the number registered in the table 14 to prevent erroneous calls match or not, and if they match, activates the alarm unit 16.

As a result, if the number to be prevented from making an erroneous call is dialed due to an erroneous dial, the alarm means 16 will be activated. Therefore, the operator can immediately know that he or she has made an incorrect dial.

Therefore, if the line is disconnected by the line disconnection means 18, the communication will be stopped before the communication partner is called, and the situation can be resolved. Note that in order to stop the operation of the alarm means 16, the stop key 17 may be pressed.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

This embodiment is for automatic calling, and the same or equivalent parts as in FIG. 1 are given the same reference numerals.

In the figure, 21 is a start key, 22 is a continuation key, 23 is an automatic calling unit, and 24 is a timer. The automatic calling section 23 is included in the line control section 5.

Now, when the telephone number of the communication partner is input from the number key 11, as in the first embodiment, this telephone number is temporarily stored in the telephone number storage section 12.

When the start key 21 is pressed, the comparison unit 15 is activated and determines whether or not the number stored in the telephone number storage unit 12 matches the number registered in the table 14 to prevent erroneous calls. do. If they match, the alarm means 16 is activated. Further, at this time, the activation signal is not sent to the automatic calling unit 23, and the automatic calling unit 23 is not activated.

On the other hand, when the start key is pressed, if the comparing section 15 determines that there is a mismatch, the automatic calling section 23 is activated upon receiving the mismatch signal. The automatic calling section 23 receives telephone number data from the telephone number storage section 12 and makes a call. As a result,
The dial signal is sent out onto the line.

When the alarm means 16 is activated and the stop key 17 is pressed, the alarm means 16 is stopped.

Also, if the operator is not near the device, such as at night,
In response to the coincidence signal output from the comparator 15, the timer 2
4 starts, and outputs a stop signal to the alarm means 16 after a predetermined time. Therefore, the alarm will stop after a predetermined period of time.

When communicating with the number targeted for prevention of erroneous calls, the continuation key 22 is pressed. Then, alarm means 1
6 is stopped, and the automatic calling section 23 is activated. As a result, the calling operation continues, and communication can also be made to the number targeted for prevention of erroneous calling.

In addition, in case of redialing (re-calling), it is sufficient to call the automatic calling section 23 again using a timer (not shown), and it can be carried out in the same manner as in the conventional device.

As described above, according to this embodiment, even in the case of automatic calling, if a number such as rl 10J or rl 19J is dialed by mistake, it is possible to stop calling.

In FIG. 2, the comparison unit 15 is activated by the start key 21, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the comparator 15 may be kept in operation all the time and output a match or mismatch signal when a number is input from the number type key 11. When a matching signal is output, the alarm means 16 is activated, so that it is known that a wrong dial has been made before the automatic calling section 23 is activated by the start key 21, and this can be dealt with.

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, rl 10J, rl
If a number such as -19J is dialed incorrectly, a warning is given by the alarm means, so there is no risk of being scolded by the authorities for calling these numbers by mistake.
