Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a telephone.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in such a telephone, a storage means for storing a plurality of destination telephone numbers by a registration operation of an operating section and a destination telephone number stored in the storage means are displayed on a display means. Is set so that it is possible to easily make a call without having to dial the destination telephone number over all digits each time.

When making a call by selecting a plurality of destinations stored in the storage means, a speed dial operation memory switch or the like is operated to call the telephone number or the like of the destination and displayed on the display means. At the same time, the other party's telephone number is automatically sent.

[0004]

In the telephone configured as described above, the destination telephone number stored is designated by the speed dial operation or the operation of the memory switch each time the destination is called. If you want to make a continuous phone call by arbitrarily selecting a number of pre-stored destinations, such as a poll or monitor survey, you must repeat that operation or dial operation as many times as the target number. There was a problem of not becoming.

In addition, in the case of a telephone of such a speed dial operation and a push operation method such as a memory switch, the other party who has established a call and the other party who has not established a call are checked and the number of people is compared. Call management was very cumbersome.

In view of the above situation, it is an object of the present invention to provide a telephone which can be easily operated even when making a continuous call to a large number of destinations.

[0007]

In order to achieve the object of the present invention, a plurality of destination telephone numbers are stored in a storage means by a registration operation of an operating section, and the destination telephone numbers stored in the storage means. In the telephone set to display on the display means, a control means for automatically transmitting a plurality of destination telephone numbers specified from the destination telephone numbers stored in the storage means in random order. Is provided.

[0008]

In such a structure, it is possible to make a continuous call to a plurality of arbitrary destinations by performing a single specifying operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS (First Embodiment) Next, an embodiment of a telephone according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a telephone according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a control means (CPU), which inputs / outputs data to / from each part of the telephone such as a random access memory (hereinafter referred to as RAM) 2, a display means 3, an interface circuit 4, and an operating section 5. It is set to receive.

The RAM 2 is used as a storage means for storing a plurality of destination information including a telephone number, a name, etc., which is a destination by a predetermined registration operation, and the destination is selected from the plurality of destination information stored in the RAM 2. As a random access function for arbitrarily selecting, the control means 1 is set so that automatic transmission is performed sequentially in a random order.

The display means 3 includes an LCD driver 3a, which receives and outputs control signals from and to the control means 1, and an LC driver.
It has a D driver 3a and a dot matrix LCD 3b to and from which a control signal is input and output. Further, the display means 3 individually displays a plurality of destination information and the like stored in the RAM 2 and displays the time.

The interface circuit 4 is set so that an audio signal is output and input to and from the audio circuit to which the handset 6 is connected. Further, the interface circuit 4 is connected to the line 7 and is set so as to be able to talk with the other party.

The operation unit 5 includes a numeric keypad 9 in which alphabetic characters A to Z are assigned to dial switches 1 to 0, a switch 10 for converting alphabetical input of the numeric keypad 9 into katakana, and an alphabetical input of numeric keypad 9 in hiragana. # Switch 11 for converting to each mode, FCN switch 12 for switching each mode, END switch 13 for instructing the end of call and function setting, RCL switch 14 for redial (recall), control means 1
Various function switches such as a RADM switch 15 used as a switch for executing the random access function, an STO switch 16 for operating the stop function, and a CLR switch 17 for clearing the alphabet input when the alphabet input of the numeric keypad 9 is incorrect. have.

Next, the storage operation and random access function of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the storage operation of the telephone of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing the random access function of the telephone.

The storage operation will be described with reference to FIG. In step 21, the user presses the ten key 9 provided on the operation unit 5 to input the destination information such as the telephone number and name.
Then, if the storage operation of the destination information is continued as it is, the process is looped to step 21 to make the same input,
To end the storage operation, the END switch 13 of the operation unit 5 is input to shift to step 22. Also, EN
When the D switch 13 is operated to end the storage operation, the process proceeds to step 23 and the telephone is switched to the normal operation mode.

Next, the random access function will be described with reference to FIG. First, when the RADM switch 15 is pressed (step 31), the number of stored items stored in the RAM 2 is displayed on the display means 3 (step 32). When a predetermined number of persons to be searched out of the stored number is input by operating the ten-key 9 (step 33), the telephone number of the other party, which is automatically selected at random as the object of retrieval, is automatically transmitted and connected to the line 8 ( Step 34). At this time, the number of persons to be searched is the same as or smaller than the number of destinations (or the number of companies, etc.) stored in the RAM 2 by the above operation.

Further, it is judged whether or not the outgoing call in step 34 is connected to the other party (step 35). Here, when the other party is out of the office or not talking and the call is not connected, the called party is excluded from the search for a certain number of times or for a predetermined time (step 36), and the other party is dialed again. Loop to step 34 to originate. If the other party responds, a call is made (step 37).

When this call state is established, the other party's telephone number is deleted from the search target (step 38). Further, when the call ends, the number of people to be searched input in step 33 is compared with the number of calls (step 39). If the number of people to be searched is greater than the number of calls, step 3 is performed.
4, the operation from step 34 to step 38 is repeated, and when the number of people to be searched and the number of calls match, the random access function is ended.

As the random access function, it is assumed that, for example, information on the destinations of 100 persons is stored, and 70 persons to be searched are input in step 33. Then, the connection determination in step 35 is NO.
It is also possible to set to replace the information other than the remaining 30 persons in the destination information with the destination information that is not included in the search target number.

Further, when the call connection for the search target number of 70 people is completed, the operations from step 31 to step 33 are performed again, and the input number of the search target number in this step 33 is, for example, 40 people. Of the 40 persons to be searched, the remaining 30 persons are preferentially the number of persons to be searched. Moreover, this priority is set so that even if the number of input persons to be searched is 40, for example, 20 people, such as 40 people, the remaining 30 people are extracted from the remaining 30 people.

On the other hand, the number of persons to be searched can be set so that the number of persons corresponding to the input of the number of persons to be searched is extracted from the entire stored destination information every time the input is set.

Thus, according to the above embodiment, the RAD
The random access function of the control means 1 is activated by one-touch operation of the M switch 15, and a predetermined number of persons to be searched are collectively designated from a plurality of telephone numbers of the destinations stored in the RAM 2 in advance. Since the telephone numbers are automatically transmitted in sequence, a plurality of destinations can be contacted to make a call only by operating the RADM switch 15 individually and inputting the number of persons to be searched.

Further, the random access function of the control means 1 temporarily suspends the outgoing call and dials several other parties when the other party is out of the office or busy and the call is not established, or a predetermined number. Since the other party's telephone number is automatically transmitted again after a lapse of time, it is possible to prevent interruption of the dial transmission and efficiently perform continuous dial transmission to a plurality of destinations.

Moreover, since the control means 1 is designed to automatically delete the other party once the call is established from the objects of the random automatic selection and transmission, it is possible to prevent the other party from overlapping and to continuously dial the plurality of other parties. You can make outgoing calls efficiently.

Therefore, when making a call to a plurality of destinations, it is not necessary to specify the destination each time and dial the telephone number of each destination over all digits as in the conventional case. It is possible to efficiently call many unspecified parties such as monitor questionnaires.

(Second Embodiment) By the way, in the above embodiment, the RAM is used as the storage means 1, but the storage means is not limited to this, and an IC card may be used as the storage means. An operation example in this case will be described with reference to FIG.

That is, when the IC card is inserted into the card reader of the telephone (step 41), the number of stored items stored in the IC card is displayed on the display means 3 (step 4).
2). A predetermined number of persons to be searched out of the number of stored items are input by operating the ten keys 9 (step 43), and R
When the ADM switch 15 is operated (step 44), the destination telephone numbers selected as search targets are automatically transmitted in random order and connected to the line 8 (step 4).
5).

Next, it is determined whether or not the connection has been established with the other party (step 46). If the other party is not connected or busy and is not connected, the call is temporarily held as a non-search target for a certain number of times or for a predetermined time (step 47), and a step is made to dial the other party again. Loop to 45. When the other party responds and a call is made (step 48), the other party's telephone number is deleted from the search target (step 49).

Further, when the call ends, step 33
The number of people to be searched and the number of times of calls input in are compared with each other (step 50). If the number of people to be searched is greater than the number of times of calls, the process is looped to step 45, and the operations from step 45 to step 49 are repeated. The random access function is terminated when the number of people to be searched matches the number of calls.

Even in this case, the same effect as that of the above-described embodiment can be obtained, and by using the IC card, the destination information stored in the IC card can be, for example, gender, age, occupation. As individual cards classified by category, residence area, Japanese, foreigners, inside and outside the city,
It can be used as extremely useful information according to the contents of polls and monitor questionnaires.

As described above, according to the present invention, when the call is not established due to the absence of the other party or the busy state,
Since the outgoing call is temporarily suspended and the other party's telephone number is automatically sent again, it is possible to prevent interruption of the dial outgoing call and efficiently carry out continuous dial outgoing calls to a plurality of destinations.

Further, by automatically deleting the other party once the call has been established from the targets of the automatic call, it is possible to prevent the call to the other party from being duplicated and to make the continuous dialing to the plurality of the other parties more efficiently. Can be done.

Therefore, it is possible to efficiently make a call to an unspecified number of destinations such as a public opinion survey and a monitor questionnaire.

[0037]

As described above, in the telephone of the present invention, a plurality of destination telephone numbers collectively designated as selection targets among the destination information stored in advance in the storage means are sequentially automatically selected in a random order. Since the control means for dialing is provided, it is possible to make a continuous call to a plurality of arbitrary destinations by performing a single specifying operation.
