Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the telephone set convenient when dialing is desired to be implemented to plural destinations by providing a registration means registering a redial command for each destination dial and a means detecting an off-hook and releasing the registration of the redial command to the telephone set. CONSTITUTION:A dial pointer of a dial storage section of a memory 3 is initialized when dialing is implemented. Then whether or not registration for a re-transmission command is left is judged, and when left, whether or not the re-transmission command corresponding to a destination pointed out by the dial pointer is set is judged. When the re-transmission command is set, a dial number pointed out by the dial pointer is sent to a line 7 and a transmission dial is displayed on a display section 8. When off-hook of an opposite party is detected, handset talking is enabled and on-hook representing the end of the call is monitored. When the on-hook is detected, the re-transmission command is reset and the display section 8 is cleared. Then the dial pointer is updated and the processing for a succeeding destination is implemented.

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 an automatic dial function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an automatic dial function such as a one-touch dial or a speed dial has been provided, and a redial function has been provided. When a destination is dialed and busy is detected, the automatic dial is repeated at regular intervals. There is provided a telephone device configured to do so.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, since the dialing operation is repeated until a call can be made to only one destination, other destinations cannot be dialed during that time, and a plurality of parties cannot be called at a time. There is a problem that it is very inefficient for a user who performs a telephone operation of contacting with. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a telephone device which is convenient when it is desired to dial a plurality of parties by expanding the redial function.

[0004]

According to the present invention, in a telephone device having a function of storing dial numbers of a plurality of destinations and automatically dialing the destinations, a registration means for registering a retransmission instruction for each destination dial is provided. , A detection means for detecting the busy of the other party, a deregistration means for detecting the end of the call and canceling the registration of the retransmission instruction, and a busy or end of the other party,
And an automatic dialing unit for sequentially dialing the destination with the retransmission instruction.

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

In the telephone main body 1 in this embodiment, a control unit 2 for controlling the entire telephone, a memory 3 for storing a plurality of dials, a speech network 4 for connecting a communication path, a sound source 5 for a ring tone, A line interface 6 for detecting an incoming call from the line 7, turning on / off the DC circuit and sending a dial, a display unit 8 for displaying a dial, and a key input unit 9 having a dial key and various function keys.
A hook switch 10 for performing on-hook and off-hook, a handset 11 for making a call, and a speaker 12 for transmitting a ring tone and various tones from a line are provided.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the dial storage section of the memory 3.

In the figure, an area 3-1 is a dial section for storing dial numbers. Area 3-2 is a retransmission instruction unit for registering a retransmission instruction corresponding to each dial number. When the retransmission instruction is registered (set), it becomes "1", and when deleted (reset), it becomes "0". "become.

FIGS. 3 and 4 are flowcharts showing the operation of the control unit 2 in this embodiment. FIG. 3 shows the operation at the time of registering a retransmission instruction, and FIG. 4 shows the operation at the time of transmission. There is.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that dials for a plurality of destinations have already been recorded.

In FIG. 3, when the registration operation of the resend instruction is started, first, the dial pointer of the dial storage unit 3 is initialized (S301), and the dial indicated by the pointer is displayed on the display unit 8 (S302). Here, various key inputs from the key input unit 9 are monitored, and if the key is the end key (S30
3), the process ends.

If the key is the Next key (S30
4) The relevant destination is passed and the process proceeds to S309. Also,
If it is the registration key (S305), it is determined whether or not there is registration in the resending instruction unit 3-2 corresponding to the destination indicated by the dial pointer (S311), and only if there is no resending instruction unit 3-2.
2 is set, and the retransmission destination counter is incremented by 1 (S3
12).

If the delete key is entered (S30
6), the registration of the retransmission instruction unit 3-2 is determined (S30
7), the retransmission instruction unit 3-2 is reset and the retransmission destination counter is decremented by 1 only when it is present. Next, the dial pointer is updated to process the next destination (S309).
When the processing for all the destinations is completed (S310), the process returns to S301 so that the processing is performed from the first destination.

Next, referring to FIG. 4, the operation at the time of calling will be described.

First, when a call start operation is performed, the dial pointer in the dial storage section of the memory 3 is initialized (S401). Next, the value of the retransmission destination counter is determined to determine whether or not the registration of the retransmission instruction remains (S40
2) If not remaining, the process ends. If it remains, it is judged whether or not the retransmission instruction section 3-2 corresponding to the destination indicated by the dial pointer is set (S
403), if not set, the corresponding destination is passed and the process proceeds to S412.

If the resend instruction is set, the speaker 12 is connected to the line by controlling the speech network 4 in order to send the sound from the line to the speaker (S40).
4) Control the line interface 6 to turn on the DC circuit and set the dial number indicated by the dial pointer to the line 7
And the transmission dial is displayed on the display unit 8 (S405).

Next, off-hook is monitored due to the fact that the other party is busy or the other party has responded so that the handset 11 is lifted.

When a signal indicating the other party's busy is detected (S406), the speaker 12 is turned off by controlling the speech network 4 (S414), and the disconnection process (S).
Move to 411).

If an off-hook is detected (S40
7), the speaker 12 by controlling the speech network 4
Is turned off to enable handset communication (S40
8). In this state, it is determined that the call is in progress, and then the on-hook of the ending call is monitored.

When an on-hook is detected (S40
9) In order to stop the retransmission processing for the corresponding destination, the retransmission instruction unit 3-2 is reset and the retransmission destination counter is decremented by 1 (S410). Further, the line interface 6 is controlled to turn off the DC circuit to clear the display unit 8 (S
411).

Next, the dial pointer is updated (S4
12) Then, the process for the next destination is performed, and the process returns to S401 to repeat the process for all destinations.

In the above embodiment, the re-sending operation is stopped by performing the off-hook and the on-hook before detecting the other party's busy. Therefore, when the other party does not respond due to absence etc. or the resending instruction is registered, Even if you do not want to make a call, you can cancel the resend with a simple operation.

Further, in the above embodiment, since the resending instruction section set by the registration operation is directly reset when the call with the other party is finished, the outgoing call operation is valid only once, but at the outgoing call operation It is obvious that the once registered retransmission instruction can be used any number of times by copying the retransmission instruction section so that the transmission operation is performed.

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention,
A phone call that allows you to automatically dial another address while another address is busy so that multiple addresses can be dialed repeatedly until a call can be made. For the user who operates,
This has the effect of improving operability.
