Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a telephone device with a speed dial transmission function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various telephone devices with a speed dial calling function have been proposed. In this type of telephone device,
The destination subscriber number is stored in the storage device in association with the speed dial number, and by inputting a desired speed dial number, the corresponding destination subscriber number is read out and automatically transmitted.

On the other hand, in telephone communication, the subscriber number to be transmitted may differ depending on the time of day even for the same person, depending on the schedule of the other party, for example, night and day. In such a case, in the conventional telephone device with a speed dial transmission function, different subscriber numbers for the same party are assigned to different speed dial numbers and registered.

[0004]

However, if different subscriber numbers for different time zones for the same party are assigned and registered to different speed dial numbers as described above, the caller side is aware of the time. Since it is necessary to select a speed dial number in which a subscriber number corresponding to a time zone is registered to make a call, there is a problem that the operation is troublesome. In particular, if you make a call without noticing that the other party's subscriber number has changed over time, the other party may not respond, or even if you answer, you cannot contact the other party Since the speed dial number in which the person number is registered must be operated to make a call, there is a problem that the operation becomes more troublesome and troublesome.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to such a conventional problem, and the calling party does not need to be aware of the time and responds to the same party with the same speed dial number according to the time zone. It is an object of the present invention to provide a telephone device with an abbreviated dialing function, which has an excellent operability and is configured appropriately so that the subscriber number can be automatically transmitted.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, a plurality of different destination subscriber numbers for different time zones for the same party are associated with the same speed dial number. And a searching means for monitoring the current time and searching the speed dial number and the destination subscriber number corresponding to the current time from the storage means by operating the speed dial number. It is configured to automatically make a call with the subscriber number searched in.

[0007]

In this structure, when the caller operates a desired speed dial number, the searching means searches the corresponding subscriber number stored in the storage means according to the speed dial number and the current time. The retrieved subscriber number is automatically transmitted.

[0008]

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
Is connected to a dial 5 and a storage device 6, and an operation of the dial 5 causes the central processing unit 4 to store a destination subscriber number corresponding to a desired speed dial number. The desired destination subscriber number is searched by the central processing unit 4 by operating the corresponding speed dial number from the dial 5, and the call is automatically transmitted via the communication path 2.

In this embodiment, a plurality of different destination subscriber numbers for different time zones for the same party are stored in association with the same speed dial number. That is, as shown in the data format in the storage device 6 in FIG. 2, a plurality of recording areas 7 are provided corresponding to each speed dial number, and a transmission data designation area 8, a time zone recording area 9 and The other party subscriber number recording area 10 is provided to record time zone information in the time zone recording area 9 and the other party subscriber number corresponding to the time zone set in the other party subscriber number recording area 10. Further, the current time and time zone recording area 9 is periodically monitored by the central processing unit 4, and when the current time is in the set time zone of the time zone recording area 9, the corresponding transmission data designation area 8 is notified to that effect. The identification information such as a flag indicating is recorded.

Thus, by inputting the speed dial number from the dial 5, the destination subscriber number stored in the storage device 6 via the central processing unit 4 corresponds to the speed dial number and is transmitted. The destination subscriber number whose identification information corresponding to the current time is recorded in the data designation area 8 is searched, and this is automatically transmitted via the communication path 2.

In the above-described embodiment, a transmission data designation area 8 is provided in each recording area 7 of the storage device 6, and the identification information is recorded in this area 8 in correspondence with the current time, so that the speed dial number can be obtained. The destination subscriber number in the recording area 7 corresponding to the current time is searched from the corresponding recording area 7. However, without providing such a transmission data designation area 8, the input speed dial number is The information of all the corresponding recording areas may be read out to the central processing unit 4, and the central processing unit 4 may retrieve the other party's subscriber number in the time zone corresponding to the current time and automatically transmit the number. If you do not specify the time zone,
This can be easily handled by recording predetermined information such as blanks in the time zone recording area 9 of the recording area 7.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, even if the destination subscriber number changes depending on the time zone, the same speed dial number can be operated by operating the same speed dial number for the same party. Since it is possible to automatically make a call to a predetermined subscriber number corresponding to the current time,
The calling party can surely call the intended other party without being aware of any time, and the operability can be effectively improved.
