Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an automatic redial count display device for a telephone.

(Prior art) In a conventional telephone with an automatic redial function,
If the dialed party is busy or does not respond, a redial operation setting is automatically performed.

In this case, if the automatic redial operation is set, the line will be automatically closed after a certain period of time (for example, 2 minutes, etc.) and the dialed number will be retrieved from the memory circuit that stores the previously dialed number. If the called party is busy or does not respond, the line is released and the system enters a standby state for the next redial call. Repeat this action a specified number of times (for example, 10 times),
If the called party answers during that time, a communication path is established and the call is enabled.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the above-mentioned conventional telephones having an automatic redial function, it is difficult to know how many times the redial operation is performed because the called party is busy or does not answer when dialing. There is a problem in that the user cannot know the progress of the re-dial operation because there is no means to display it.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a display means for displaying the number of redial operations, thereby making it possible to grasp the number of redial operations, and to
To provide an automatic redial number display device for a telephone that is advantageous in terms of cost by using the conventional display means for displaying that automatic redialing is set as the displaying means.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, an automatic redial count display device for a telephone according to the present invention includes an operation setting means for setting an automatic redial operation, and an automatic redial setting. In a telephone having an automatic redial function, which is equipped with a display means for displaying that the other party is present, and a number setting means for setting the number of times automatic redialing is to be performed, the number of redials performed when the other party does not answer is measured. The present invention adopts a configuration comprising a number of times counting means for dialing, and a control means for controlling display of the number of re-dials counted by the number of times measuring means on the display means.

(Function) The number of redials made due to the other party not responding is measured by the number measuring means, and the measured number of redials is displayed as being set for the conventional automatic redialing. It is displayed by also serving as a display means. For example, the display means is always LE during automatic redialing.
If D etc. are to be lit, this LE
Control is performed to light D for the number of times of redialing.

(Example) Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of an automatic redial count display device for a telephone according to the present invention.

In the figure, a telephone circuit 2 is connected to a telephone line 1 that connects to the other party's terminal, and a handset 3 equipped with a transmitter and a handset is connected to the telephone circuit 2. There is. Also connected to the telephone line 1 is a dial sending circuit 4 for sending dialed numbers, and a tone detection circuit 5 for detecting tone signals.

On the other hand, the control circuit 6 that controls the entire device is composed of a dial transmission control section 61, a response detection section 62, a timer measurement section 63, and a display control section 64. The dial transmission control section 61 is led to the output of the key power section 7 for inputting dial numbers and setting automatic redialing, and the output of the dial transmission control section 61 is connected to the dial transmission circuit 4 and response detection. section 62 , timer measurement section 63 , and display control section 64 . Further, the output of the response detection section 62 from which the output of the tone detection circuit 5 is derived is guided to a timer measurement section 63 and a display control section 64, and the output of the timer measurement section 63 is sent to a dial transmission control section 61 and a display control section 64. The configuration is such that the display control section 64 leads to the display control section 64. In addition, a storage section (R
It is composed of AM and others. ) 8, the dial transmission control section 61, and the display control section 64 are each bidirectionally connected, and the output of the display control section 64 is connected to the anode of the LED 9 whose cathode is connected to ground. ing.

In the above configuration, the tone detection circuit 5 sets the number of times a call signal (tone signal) sent from an exchange (not shown) is detected at the time of re-dialing, and stops the dialing when the tone signal is detected the set number of times. It has a function of sending an instruction signal to the response detection section 62. The number of times the call signal has been detected may be set by key operations on the manual key section 7, or may be set by another key (not shown). The display control unit 64 also has a function of setting the number of times automatic redialing is to be performed, and a function of measuring the number of times redialing is performed when the other party does not respond. It becomes.

Next, the operation of the automatic re-dial count display device having the above configuration will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

The user inputs the telephone number (dial number) of the other party to call by operating the key input unit 7.

This dial number is input to the dial transmission control section 61 and is given to the dial transmission circuit 4 and the storage section 8 via the dial transmission control section 61. The dial sending circuit 4 sends a dial signal corresponding to the dialed number from the dial calling control section 61 to the telephone line 1 to call the other party. Furthermore, the storage unit 8 stores the derived dial number as a re-dial number. After this, if the other party's telephone is busy or unresponsive, the user must disconnect the telephone to open the line, and then operate the key power section 7 again to set automatic redial. (Step 511). This signal indicating automatic redialing from the key manual section 7 is given to the timer measurement section 63 and the display control section 64 via the dial transmission control section 61. The display control unit 64 confirms that automatic redialing is set based on the signal from the dialing control unit 61, and turns on the display.
Send a signal to light up the LED 9 (step 51)
2). The display control unit 64 also includes the dial transmission control unit 6
The number of re-dials is set based on the signal from 1 (step 513).

It is assumed that the number of times automatic redialing is performed is set to 10 times by the display control unit 64. Further, the timer measurement section 63 sets the time from the first dialing to the next re-dialing based on the signal from the dialing control section 61 (step 514). In this embodiment, this time is set to 2 minutes. After this, the system is in standby mode for redialing (automatic redialing mode).
becomes.

Then, the timer measurement unit 63 starts measuring the time set in step S14, and when the set time has elapsed (step 315), the number of calls (call time) is set (step 816).

The number of calls is set in the tone detection circuit 5, and is set to 10 times, for example. Also, step S14
When the set time elapses, the timer measurement section 6
3 sends an operation ON signal to the dial transmission control section 6I, and the dial transmission control section 61 reads out the re-dial number stored in the storage section 8 and sends it to the dial transmission circuit 4 based on this operation ON signal. The dial signal is sent from the dial sending circuit 4 to the telephone line 1 as a dial signal (step 517). Further, when the time set in step S14 has elapsed, the timer measurement unit 63 also sends an operation ON signal to the display control unit 64, and the display control unit 64
In response to this operation ON signal, sends a blinking signal to the LED 9, causing the LED 9 to blink (step 818).
. The blinking display at this time is controlled so that it blinks once, as shown in FIG. 3(a), since this is the first re-dial operation.

Thereafter, in response to the dial signal sent from the dial sending circuit 4, a ringing signal is sent from an exchange (not shown) to the other party's telephone, and the calling side receives a ringing tone (R-B-T).
) is sent. This ringing tone (R:B-T) is detected by the tone detection circuit 5 through the telephone line 1.

At this time, in step 51, the device first determines whether the other party is busy by detecting a busy tone.
9) If it is not busy, proceed to step S20,
The response detection unit 62 determines whether the handset of the other party's telephone is off-hook. Then, when the handset of the other party's telephone is off-hook, the display control unit 64 sends a display OFF signal to the LED 9,
The blinking display of the LED 9 is stopped (step 521), and the call state is entered (step 522). On the other hand, step S
In step S20, if the handset of the other party's telephone is not off-hook, the operation proceeds to step S23;
The tone detection circuit 5 detects whether the ringing signal has been sent out the set number of times (10 times in this embodiment) (step 523), and if it has been sent out the set number of times, the dialing is stopped. A signal instructing the timer measurement unit 63 and the display control unit 64 via the response detection unit 62
Send to.

The timer measurement section 63 sends this stop instruction signal to the Daicel call control section 61, and the dial call control section 61 stops the operation of the dial sending circuit 4 based on this stop instruction signal, and the telephone number f! Release 1.

The display control unit 64 subtracts 1 time from 10 times, which is the number of re-dials set in step S13, which is 9 times.
(step 525), and determines whether the newly set number of times has become 0 (step 526). If it has become 0, the predetermined number of times ( In other words, since the redialing operation has been performed up to 10 times, the automatic redialing mode is canceled and the operation is ended. At this time, the display control unit 64 sends a display OFF signal to the LED 9 in response to the stop instruction signal from the tone detection circuit 5, and stops the blinking display of the LED 9 (step 524). On the other hand, in the determination in step S26, if the newly set number of times is not 0, the operation proceeds to step S27. That is, the timer measurement unit 63 resets the timer in response to the stop instruction signal from the tone detection circuit 5, and restarts the set 2-minute measurement.

Thereafter, the operation returns to step S15 and waits for the second re-dial call. Also, if the other party's telephone is busy in step S19, step S19
The operation proceeds from step S24 to step S27, and then proceeds to step S315.
The phone returns to the screen and waits for the second re-dial.

In addition, after the timer measurement unit 63 completes the 2-minute measurement, the display control unit 64 displays a flashing display on the LED 9 when a second re-dial call is made (step 518).
As shown in FIG. 3, etc., since this is the second re-dial operation, control is performed so that the redial blinks twice in succession. In addition, when the third redial is made, control is performed so that the light blinks three times in a row, as shown in Figure 3 (C), and the 10th redial is activated. When a dial call is made, control is performed so that the light blinks 10 times in a row.

In other words, the automatic redial count display device of the present invention is configured so that the LED 9, which indicates that automatic redialing is set, is also used as a display means to display the number of redials.

(Effects of the Invention) The automatic redial count display device for a telephone according to the present invention uses a count measuring means to measure the number of redials made when the other party does not respond, and compares the measured number of redials with the conventional one. Since the display is configured to also serve as a display means to indicate that automatic redialing is set, the user can know the number of times the redialing operation has been performed, and the display also serves as a display means. Because of this, it has the advantage that it can be provided at a low cost.
