Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a system telephone, such as a business telephone or a home telephone, which consists of a main device connected to a communication line, and a plurality of telephones controlled by data of the main device. To,
The present invention relates to an input device for inputting system data for providing required functions.

[Prior Art] In order to operate a system telephone in a manner that satisfies the user's wishes, it is necessary to input function setting data called a system button unique to the system telephone into the main device.

FIGS. 6(a) and 6(b) are diagrams for explaining the display status of the display device in the conventional system data input method. 611 is the item number to be set, 612 is data that has already been input, and 621 is newly input data.The input method will be explained below.

Conventional system data input methods involve using a telephone with a specific extension number connected to the main phone or main device, or a data input device with a dedicated interface for a specific model. Since input is performed using dial keys, etc. based on a display consisting of alphanumeric characters, it is necessary to manually check the meaning of the numerical value, input procedure, and operation method each time, which increases the risk of input errors and greatly reduces operability. It was inferior. Furthermore, current input devices have only interfaces for each target model, so one device cannot be used for different models with different interfaces. That is, for example, in the case of model A, the item 1-01 is the setting of clock data, and in the case of model B, it is the setting of the type of communication line.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional system data input method, the display is made up of alphanumeric characters unrelated to the function name to be set, so there is a risk of incorrect input. there were.

Furthermore, since each input device has only an interface dedicated to each target model, there is a problem that one input device cannot be used for models with different interfaces.

This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to reduce erroneous input by displaying system data in Chinese characters.

[Means for Solving the Problems 1] A system data input device according to the present invention is equipped with a kanji character memory and has an existing interface connection section, in order to solve the display situation of the display device in the conventional system data input method. It is equipped with.

[Function 1] This invention has a function of displaying Japanese input guidance in kanji, kana, numbers, symbols, and alphabets by being equipped with a kanji character memory, and the operation keys on the device can be operated according to the display. System data can be entered accurately and error-free without the need for a manual.Also, by having two types of interfaces: a home bus interface for home telephones and an R3-232C interface for business phones. It can be used with many devices, and system data can be entered in a short time and without errors, regardless of the device's function.

In addition, if you install a program to receive data from a computer and store it in the storage medium (SR'AM) in this device, you can develop a program on your computer to control the device to which you want to input system data. , R3-232
The internal storage medium (SRA) of this device is stored using the C interface.
Since the program M) can be rewritten, it can also be used with new equipment.
