Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the highly efficient application of a common electronic telephone directory of a telephone exchange system for each telephone set by registering automatically a fact that the calling operations are carried out with use of the telephone directory for each multi-functional telephone set containing a display device. CONSTITUTION:When a user carries out a calling operation with use of a multi- functional telephone set 6 containing a display device and a common electronic telephone directory of a telephone exchange system, a CPU 2 of a private branch switchboard 1 recognizes the calling operation of the user and reads the telephone No. information on the corresponding called party out of an electronic telephone directory storage area 4. Then the CPU 2 writes an abbreviated dial and its No. in a function setting storage area 5. Thus a fact that a calling operation is carried out with use of the common electronic telephone directory of the system is automatically registered for each set 6. Then a personal electronic telephone directory that can be individually applied by each user is automatically produced.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a telephone exchange system comprising a plurality of display-equipped multifunction telephones and an electronic exchange to which these telephones are connected.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Traditionally, telephone switching systems of this type have provided a speed dial service3, and multi-function telephones capable of displaying characters have a so-called system that can display the name of the other party for each speed dial. Provides electronic telephone directory service. There are two types of electronic telephone directory services: one for individuals, which requires registration for each telephone, and the other for electronic telephone directories, which are common to all systems.

In addition, multi-function phones that can display text,
Since the function name can be displayed in correspondence with the conventional function button, a large number of functions can be registered and used using the screen function keys by switching the screen.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the conventional telephone switching system has the following problems.

(1) Although each person actually uses only a small number of speed dials in the electronic telephone directory common to the system, it is possible to actually search for the speed dial you want to make a call from among them. That takes time and effort.

(2) The number of electronic telephone directories available to each individual is small. Also, it takes time to register the name of the other party.

(3) The usage rate of screen function keys that can be registered for each individual is low, and storage area is wasted.

The present invention is intended to solve such conventional problems, and aims to provide an excellent telephone exchange system that can efficiently utilize a common electronic telephone directory for each telephone.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is provided with means for automatically registering outgoing calls for each display-equipped multifunction telephone using an electronic telephone directory.

According to the present invention, with the above configuration, when a user makes a call using the electronic phonebook common to the system, the call is registered by the automatic registration means for each display-equipped multifunction phone, so that the electronic phone number for each individual is registered. A book will be created automatically.

The embodiment diagram shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a private branch exchange, 2 is a central processing unit, 3 is a memory, 4 is an electronic telephone directory storage area common to the system in the memory 3, and 5 is a function setting for each multifunction telephone with display in the memory 3. 6 is a multi-function telephone with a display, 7 is a display screen capable of displaying characters, 8 is a function use button, and 9 is a screen switching button.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. In the embodiment described above, when a user makes a call using a multifunction telephone with a display device 6 using an electronic telephone directory common to the system, the central processing unit 2 of the private branch exchange 1 recognizes this and makes a call to the corresponding destination. The telephone number information is read from the electronic telephone directory storage area 4, and the type of function and data, in this case speed dial and speed dial number, are written into the function setting storage area 5. As a result, the speed dial information of the other party is automatically registered in the function setting storage area 5, and the user presses the screen switching button 9 on the display multifunction telephone 6 to display the function setting screen on the display screen 7. When displayed, the name corresponding to the speed dial number in the electronic telephone directory common to the system will be displayed. After confirming this display, by pressing the send button of the function use buttons 8, the user can make a call to the desired party.

For example, if the number of data that can be registered in the function setting storage area 5 is 10, the method of automatic registration in the function setting storage area S is such that the user uses the multifunction telephone with display 6 to register an electronic phonebook common to the system. Automatic registration when making a call using the service is written in the first area. Then, during the next automatic registration, the data in the first area is transferred to the second area and then written in the first area. In this way, the first to tenth areas are filled with data. Furthermore, when performing automatic registration, 1
The data in the 0th area is deleted, the data in the 1st to 9th areas are transferred to the 2nd to 10th areas, and new registered data is written in the 1st area. Further, when performing automatic registration, if the same data as the data to be registered exists among the 10 registered data, the registration will not be performed.

In this way, in the embodiment, when a call is made using the system-common electronic phonebook, the speed dial information is read out from the electronic phonebook storage area 4 and automatically registered in the function setting storage area 5, so that each user It is possible to automatically create an electronic telephone directory for users.

Note that the function setting memory IJA 5 may be provided in the memory 3 of the private branch exchange 1 as an area exclusively for automatic registration, or
The information may be written in the personal electronic telephone directory storage memory itself in the private branch exchange 1 or in each display-equipped multifunction telephone 6. In this case, the "one function type" stored in the function setting storage area 5 becomes unnecessary.

Further, as for the storage method, the display order may be changed depending on the frequency of use, or storage in an area, preservation of data, deletion from the area, etc. may be determined depending on the frequency of use.

In the above embodiments, the present invention was illustrated as a combination of a private branch exchange 1 and a multifunction telephone with a display 6, but it is not applicable to a combination of a main device and a multifunction button telephone with a display, such as a button telephone device. Good too.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above-mentioned embodiments, the present invention automatically registers outgoing calls for each multifunction telephone with a display device using an electronic telephone directory common to the system. It is possible to automatically create a personal electronic telephone directory that can be used for each user, reducing the trouble of registering speed dials and destination names for each user, and making it possible to register for each individual, which has not been used much in the past. This has the advantage that screen function keys can be used effectively.
