Abstract

PURPOSE:To store a telephone number dialed precedingly into a redial memory as it is by storing a dial number and special information into a one-step dial memory provided on inhibit redialing. CONSTITUTION:When a control circuit 5 detects a one-touch dial signal, a 1st digit of the content of a relevant dial address of a one-touch memory 6 is read. When special information is detected, the control circuit 5 does not transfer dial information in a succeeding memory address 11 to a redial memory 7 but gives it sequentially to a dial transmission circuit 9. On the other hand, the dial transmission circuit 9 generates a dial signal corresponding to the information fed from the control circuit 5 and sends it to an exchange. When the special information is not detected, after the control circuit 5 transfers the dial information represented in a memory address 12 to the redial memory 7, the control circuit 5 gives the dial information of the memory address 12 to the dial transmission circuit 9 sequentially and sends the dial signal to an exchange.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a telephone connected to a private branch exchange, and particularly to a telephone equipped with an automatic dialing function.

[Conventional technology] Conventionally, in a telephone equipped with one-touch dialing and redialing functions, all dialed numbers are stored in the redialing memory. Numbers that are unnecessary to the user other than the destination phone number, such as service numbers, are also stored, and the redial function may not be able to be used effectively.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Development of telephones equipped with an automatic dialing function has become active in recent years, and telephones equipped with a one-touch dialing function or a repeat dialing function have appeared.

Here, the one-touch dialing function refers to a function that automatically sends a dialing signal when making a call to a specific subscriber by operating an operation button that corresponds to the telephone number of that subscriber.

The redial function is a function that stores the phone number of the person you dialed once and automatically dials that phone number when you press the operation button. The former function is useful when calling a subscriber who calls frequently, and the latter function is useful when the called party is busy and you want to try calling again.

Now, when using a telephone connected to a private branch exchange, in addition to dialing the other party's telephone number to make a call, you can also use the telephone number other than the other party's telephone number to receive services such as hold, proxy answering, transfer, etc., which are the service functions of the private branch exchange. There are cases where a service number is sent, but conventionally this has been done using the following method with a simple operation.

In other words, by using the one-touch dialing function to memorize the service number in advance and displaying the service function name of the private branch exchange on the button, the user does not have to worry about remembering the service number, and can easily press the corresponding button. The advantage is that you can receive the service just by pressing .

However, when a service number is sent using the one-touch dialing function, a problem arises in that the redialed content becomes as follows.

(1) If the service number is dialed during a call by the caller, the other party's phone number + service number will be entered.

(2) If you dial the service number after the call ends,
The previous caller's phone number disappears and the service number enters.

As mentioned above, you will not be able to use redial, or the service number will be rewritten to a service number that does not require redialing.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a telephone with an automatic dialing function that can effectively utilize the service function of a private branch exchange and the redial function of a telephone.

[Means for Solving the Problem] In order to achieve the above object, in a telephone that automatically stores a selection signal in a redial memory when a selection signal is sent, it is proposed to prohibit redialing in the one-touch dial memory. When making a call using the one-touch dial button, the area is identified, and whether or not redialing is prohibited is recognized. If redialing is prohibited, the selection signal corresponding to the one-touch dialing button is sent to the redialing area. It is configured to be written to memory.

[Function] Store the dial number and special information in advance in the one-touch dial memory where you want to prohibit redialing. As a result, when dialing with the one-touch dial button,
When special information in the one-touch dial memory is read, it is possible to just send a dialing signal to the exchange without writing it to the redial memory, so the phone number that has been dialed yrlj times can be stored as is in the redial memory. It is possible to memorize it.

[Example] An example of the present invention will be described in detail based on FIGS. 1, 2, and 3.

FIG. 1 shows a telephone with an automatic dialing function. In the figure, a hook switch 1 that operates when the handset (not shown) is lifted, a dial keypad 2 for inputting dial information, a redial button 3 for using a redial function, and corresponding buttons are shown. A redial memory 7 for storing phone numbers, a one-touch dial button 4 for using the one-touch dial function, a one-touch memory 6 for storing the corresponding phone number, and a phone number stored in the one-touch memory 6. A special information detection circuit 8 that detects whether special information is included in the
(not shown); and a control circuit 5 that controls a telephone with an automatic dialing function.
It is composed of.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing memory addresses 10 and 11 when special information is stored in the one-touch memory 6.
Further, FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a case where no special information is stored in the one-touch memory 6 and the memory address 12 of the re-dial memory.

Next, the explanation will be based on the operation. First, a case will be described in which a dial function using a dial key is used. When the caller who wants to make a call picks up the handset (not shown), the hook switch 1 is activated and the output is sent to the control circuit 5.
starts and ends the operation.

In this state, the caller operates the dial keypad 2 and inputs dial numbers in order. When the caller dials, dial information generated in sequence is supplied to the control circuit 5. The control circuit 5 sequentially writes the supplied dial information into the re-dial memory 7 and supplies it to the dial sending circuit 9, where it is sequentially converted into a corresponding dial signal and sent to an exchange (not shown). The contents of the re-dial memo 7 are written in the called person's telephone number r12345, etc., as shown in the memory address 12 of FIG.

Next, when the calling party completes the dialing operation, the exchange performs a connection operation based on the dial signal sent from the dial sending circuit 9. As a result, if the called party is busy or absent, the calling party hangs up the handset for a while, then picks up the handset again and tries to make a call. At this time, the caller does not operate the dial keypad 2, but instead presses the redial button 3 to generate a redial signal.

When the control circuit 5 detects this redial signal, it sequentially reads out the contents of the memory addresses 12 in FIG. A dial signal is generated and sent to the exchange.

Next, the case of using the one-touch dial function will be explained. A user of the telephone uses a dial keypad 2 to write in advance the telephone numbers of a plurality of other party subscribers into dial addresses in a one-touch memory 6. When a telephone user wants to dial a subscriber whose telephone number has been previously stored in this manner, he presses the one-touch dial button 4 to generate a one-touch dial signal. When the control circuit 5 detects this one-touch dial signal, it reads out the first digit of the contents of the corresponding dial address in the one-touch memory 6. Here, if a dial address containing the special information shown in Figure 2 is selected,
The special information (x) shown at the memory address 10 is read out and input to the special information detection circuit 8, and when the special information is detected, the control circuit 5 stores the dial information of the subsequent memory address 11 in the re-dial memory 7. are sequentially supplied to the dial sending circuit 9 without being transferred. On the other hand, the dial sending circuit 9 generates a dial signal corresponding to the information supplied from the control circuit 5 and sends it to the exchange.

Next, a case will be described in which a dial address that does not include special information is selected.

If the tire address shown in FIG. 3 that does not include special information is selected and the first content shown in the memory address 12 is read out and input to the special information detection circuit 8, no special information will be detected. As a result, the control circuit 5 transfers the dial information indicated at the memory address 12 to the re-dial memory 7, and then sequentially supplies the dial information at the memory address 12 to the dial sending circuit 9, and sends a dial signal to the exchange.

As described above, depending on whether special information is stored in the one-touch memory or not, it is possible to select whether or not to update the re-dial memory contents when dialing with the one-touch dial button. By applying this to the service number of the private branch exchange and storing the service number to be used together with special information in the one-touch memory, as long as you use the service of the private branch exchange using the one-touch dial button, the redial memory contents is used only for telephone numbers, so it has the effect of making it possible to effectively utilize the redial function.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, even when the service number of a private branch exchange is stored in the one-touch memory and used, the service number is not stored in the redial memory, so only the telephone number can be effectively used with the redial function. Available.
