Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a telephone device having a subscriber number search / transmission function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional telephone device, a subscriber number is stored, the stored subscriber number is read out and displayed, a desired destination subscriber number is visually searched, and then a required operation is performed. In this way, it has been proposed to automatically make a call with the retrieved desired subscriber number.

[0003]

However, in the above-described conventional telephone device, the stored destination subscriber number must be read out one by one and visually searched, which makes the operation troublesome and time-consuming. And there is a problem that it takes labor. Such a problem is remarkable especially when the subscriber number of the other party is not remembered accurately.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and provides a telephone device with a subscriber number search / transmission function, which is appropriately configured so as to effectively reduce the labor and time in the transmission operation. The purpose is to do.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, storage means for storing a subscriber number,
Retrieval means for retrieving, from the subscriber number stored in this storage means, a subscriber number corresponding to the dial input up to that time for each dial, a display means for displaying the retrieved subscriber number, and displayed. A selecting unit for selecting a subscriber number is provided, and the subscriber number selected by the selecting unit is automatically transmitted.

[0006]

In this structure, when the user dials, the searching unit searches the subscriber numbers stored in the storage unit to find the subscriber number that matches the dial number input so far. Displayed in the means. That is, when the number at the beginning of the desired subscriber number is dialed, the subscriber number that matches the number at the beginning is searched and displayed, and when the next number is dialed, it matches the two sequential numbers that have been input. The subscriber number is retrieved and displayed. Therefore, if the desired subscriber number is already stored in the storage means, the desired subscriber number is displayed on the display means without dialing all the subscriber numbers. After that, when the desired subscriber number displayed on the display means is selected by the selection means, the selected subscriber number is automatically transmitted.

[0007]

1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. The communication network 1 is connected to the handset 3 via the communication path 2 and the communication path 2 is controlled by the central processing unit 4 so as to receive, respond and make a call. In addition, the central processing unit 4
A dial 5, a display unit 6 and a storage device 7 are connected to the device, and the dialed subscriber number is stored through the central processing unit 4 by operating the dial 5, and the stored dialed subscriber number is stored. Is searched by the central processing unit 4 for each dial input from the dial 5 and displayed on the display 6. Although not shown, the dial 5 is provided with a selection key for selecting the destination subscriber number displayed on the display 6 and automatically transmitting the number.

In this embodiment, every time a dialing of the destination subscriber number is made from the dial 5 in making a call, the subscriber number stored in the storage device 7 that matches the dial number input up to that point is stored in the central processing unit 4. Is displayed and displayed on the display unit 6. If there are a plurality of retrieved subscriber numbers and the subscriber numbers cannot be displayed at one time on the display unit 6, they are scrolled and displayed by operating an appropriate key on the dial 5. If the desired destination subscriber number is searched and displayed, and you want to make a call with the displayed destination subscriber number,
The predetermined selection key of the dial 5 is operated to select the desired destination subscriber number displayed in the search. After that, in the case of a single telephone, the handset 3 is raised to go off-hook, or the electronic key telephone device or In the case of a standard telephone such as PBX, an outside line is captured to automatically make a call.

In this way, by searching for and displaying the subscriber number that matches the dial input up to that point for each dial, the desired destination subscriber number can be displayed during dialing. , It is possible to effectively reduce the labor and time required for the calling operation. Further, even if the subscriber number of the other party is not remembered accurately, it is possible to search with the number that is remembered, so that it is possible to effectively prevent an erroneous call.

The subscriber's subscriber's number may be registered in the storage device 7 automatically every time a call is made without duplication of the subscriber's subscriber's number. It is also possible to select a mode and input the destination subscriber number from the dial 5 only in the registration mode for registration. Further, if there is a destination subscriber number already registered by a speed dial or the like, it may be used as registration data. Further, in addition to the destination subscriber number, the storage device 7 stores the number of calls made to the subscriber number, and at the time of retrieval, the subscriber numbers matching the dial input are displayed in the order of the number of calls made by the display 6 May be displayed on the screen. By doing so, it becomes possible to more effectively reduce the labor and time in the transmission operation.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, the stored subscriber number is searched and displayed for each subscriber number that matches the dial entered up to that time, and the retrieval is performed. Since it is possible to automatically make a call with the displayed subscriber number, it is possible to effectively reduce the labor and time required for a call operation.
