Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily, speedily, and accurately perform the registration, transmission (dialing) and ID registration of telephone numbers. CONSTITUTION:When a bar code reading section 18 of a slave unit reads the bar-coded telephone number, a confirmation sound generating section 26 generates a confirming sound sounding 'pi'. The telephone number is stored in a memory 20 and a display section 21 displays it on a display. A retrieval control section 22 retrieves the desired telephone number on the display, and a specification control section 23 transmits the specified telephone number through a radio transmission section 13 to the telephone set radio-connected from an antenna 24. A call is originated from the telephone set by the automatic dialing.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention reads and stores information such as a telephone number and an ID number written in a bar code format, and automatically dials or identifies a handset.
D) A cordless telephone device for registration.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional cordless telephone device, when making a call to a destination, the telephone number, the telephone number notebook, the electronic notebook, etc., in which the telephone number of the destination is entered, is dialed or registered in advance. The entered speed dial number is entered and dialed.

Further, the input of ID registration at the time of adding a slave unit is performed by pressing a plurality of types of buttons on the main body.

[0004]

As described above, in the cordless telephone device of the conventional example, since a telephone call is made while looking at the telephone directory, erroneous dialing is likely to occur due to an incorrect telephone number or the like. Further, when the speed dial is used, there is a drawback that the operator may register an erroneous telephone number at the time of speed registration.

In addition, when registering an ID, a complicated input operation of pressing a plurality of types of buttons on the telephone body is required, and if the registration is incorrect or the registration method is forgotten, it is necessary to review the instruction manual. However, there is a drawback that inputting ID registration is troublesome.

More recently, one master unit has five slave units,
The number is increased to 6 and ID registration becomes more difficult.

The present invention solves such a problem, and provides an excellent cordless telephone device capable of easily, quickly, and reliably registering a telephone number, transmitting (dialing) a telephone number, and registering an ID. The purpose is to provide.
