Abstract

PURPOSE:To get the detailed statement of use during an arbitrary period at any time without contracting to transmit the detailed statement of telephone use with a communication company by storing the phone numbers of call originating destinations and speaking time in the telephone set of a user. CONSTITUTION:When the phone number of a called party is inputted from an information input part 1 and connected with the called party, a timer part 2 starts counting the speaking time. When the connection with the called party is finished, the timer part 2 stops counting the speaking time and calculating the speaking time. Then, the phone number of the called party and the speaking time are stored and accumulated in an information storage part 3. Further, when a command to output speaking records is issued from the information input part 1, the phone numbers of the called parties and the speaking time stored in the information storage part 3 are printed out from a printer part 4 onto a printing form. Then, information such as the phone number of the called party and the speaking time stored in the information storage part 3 is successively deleted according to a command from an information input part 1.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to means for obtaining usage details of a telephone.

0002

[Background Art] With conventional button telephones, if a user needs a record of outgoing calls, the method is to contract with a telecommunications carrier such as NTT and mail a telephone bill usage statement equivalent to the usage statement of telephone usage charges. is taken. In a facsimile, the facsimile itself has means for storing reception records and transmission records.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] With such conventional button telephones, when a user needs to record outgoing calls, it is necessary to
It was necessary to sign a contract with a telecommunications company such as TT and have a telephone bill usage statement, which corresponds to a telephone bill statement, sent to you by mail. Since the telephone bill usage details are sent for a certain period of time set by telecommunications carriers such as NTT for the purpose of collecting charges, the user has the disadvantage that they cannot view the usage details at any time.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to eliminate such drawbacks, and aims to provide a button telephone that allows the user to easily retrieve usage details at any time by storing outgoing call information in the user's telephone. .

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a button telephone equipped with an information input section for inputting the telephone number of the other party by pressing a button, which connects to the other party in response to input from the information input section. a timer unit that measures the call time from when the connection is completed until the connection is terminated; an information storage unit that stores the telephone number of the other party and the call time measured by the timer unit as a set; The present invention is characterized by comprising a printer section that outputs the accumulated contents on printer paper.

[0006]

[Operation] The call time is measured every time a call is made, and the called telephone number and the measured time are stored as call information in a storage means provided in the telephone, and are outputted on printer paper as needed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of this embodiment. This embodiment includes a button-type information input section 1 for inputting the telephone number of the other party, a timer section 2 for measuring the duration of the call from the time of connection to the other party until the connection is terminated, and It is comprised of an information storage section 3 that stores the telephone number of the other party and the duration of the call, and a printer section 4 that outputs the contents stored in the information storage section 3 onto printer paper.

That is, as shown in FIG. 1, this embodiment includes an information input section 1 for inputting the telephone number of the other party by pressing a button. A timer unit 2 measures the call time from when the connection is made to the other party until the connection is terminated according to the input at the terminal, and the telephone number of the other party is paired with the call time measured by the timer unit 2. an information storage unit 3 for storing information,
The apparatus includes a printer section 4 that outputs the contents stored in the information storage section 3 onto printer paper.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. When the telephone number of the other party is inputted from the information input section 1 and a connection is established with the other party, the timer section 2 is activated and measures the duration of the call. When the connection with the other party ends, the timer unit 2 finishes measuring the call time and calculates the call time. The telephone number of the other party and the duration of the call are stored and accumulated in the information storage section 3. When a command to output a call record is issued from the information input section 1, the printer section 4 prints the telephone number and call time of the other party stored in the information storage section 3 on print paper in the order of registration. The information about the telephone number of the other party and the duration of the call stored in the information storage section 3 can be deleted at any time by a command from the information input section 1. In this way, the user can retrieve call records from the telephone at any time.

0010

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention enables a user to enter into a contract with a telecommunications carrier such as NTT to send telephone usage details by storing the telephone number and call time of the destination in the user's telephone. This has the effect that usage details for any period can be obtained at any time without having to do so.
