BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a telephone with a speed dial list creation support tool which is capable of registering speed dials and has a display.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a general multi-function telephone, a registration key for starting or ending registration of a telephone number is provided in a key operation section, a display such as a liquid crystal display section is provided in the main body of the telephone, and the inside of the main body is provided. Has a memory for abbreviated dialing, and the abbreviated number can be registered by operating the registration key.

That is, after pressing the registration key to enter the speed dial registration mode, the speed dialing number is input, the telephone number to be registered with the speed dialing number is then input, and the registration key is pressed again. As a result, the telephone number corresponding to the shortened number is stored in the speed dial memory.

[0004]

By the way, it is general that the telephone number registered as a speed dial is the telephone number of the other party who frequently makes a call from the telephone. However, when registering the speed dial, the telephone number of the other party to which the call is frequently made is determined by the judgment of the person who registers, and the order of the number of times of the call is also determined by the person who registers. Therefore, the registered speed dials are not necessarily in the order of the most outgoing calls, and it is also unknown whether or not all the telephone numbers of the destinations with the most outgoing calls are registered as speed dials. There was a problem that the content and the actual usage did not always match.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to display a list of callers recorded in descending order of the degree of use on a display when registering a speed dial so that the actual degree of use can be increased. The purpose is to provide a telephone with a speed dial list creation support tool that enables registration of speed dials that match the above.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a telephone with a speed dial list creation support tool of the present invention counts the number of times a dial number is sent each time an arbitrary dial number is sent, While collecting the data corresponding to the dial number and the number of calls,
List creating means for creating a caller list by sorting the collected data in descending order of the number of calls, and displaying means for displaying the caller list created by the list creating means on the display in the speed dial registration mode. ,
A registration means for registering the speed dial according to the caller list displayed on the display is provided.

[0007]

With the list creating means, each time an arbitrary dial number is transmitted, the number of transmissions of the dial number is counted, and the data in which the dial number and the number of transmissions are associated is collected. Then, every time such data is collected, the number of times each data is transmitted is compared, and the collected data is rearranged in the order of the most number of transmissions to create a sender list. That is, the created caller list is always arranged in the order of the largest number of calls.

In this manner, when the speed dial registration mode is entered while the caller list is being modified in sequence,
The display means causes the display to display the caller list created by the list creating means.

Then, the user of the present telephone operates the registration means to register the speed dial numbers in descending order of the number of calls, while looking at the caller list displayed on the display. Here, as a method of registering the speed dial, the following two means are possible. One of them is
This is a method in which the user operates the dial keys to directly input the telephone number while looking at the displayed caller list. Another method is to provide a selection key in the registration means, and by pressing this selection key, the telephone number of the destination to be registered is selected from the caller list displayed on the display and registered. Is. According to this method, the mistake of registering the telephone number does not occur.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the electrical construction of a telephone with a speed dial list creation support tool of the present invention.

In the figure, a control unit 1 for controlling the operation of the entire apparatus is connected to the telephone line. The handset unit 5 and the CPU 2 are bidirectionally connected to the control unit 1, and the output of the key operation unit 6 is guided. The output of the control unit 1 is given to a display unit 7 including a liquid crystal display or the like.

The key operation unit 6 is a dial key, a registration key for starting or ending registration of a telephone number, a caller list key for displaying a caller list on the display, and a caller list displayed on the display. A selection key for selecting the telephone number of the caller is provided. Also,
The display unit 7 is capable of displaying a caller list and the like including the telephone number of the other party at the time of dialing, the number of calls, and the like.

A program memory 3 for storing an operation program and a main memory 4 for storing a sender list 9 which will be described later are bidirectionally connected to the CPU 2 which constitutes a main part of the list creating means. There is. CPU
2 indicates the number of times the telephone number is called, based on the telephone number data given from the control unit 1 and the contents of the caller list 9 read from the main memory 4 every time a call is made to an arbitrary telephone number. The data is collected by counting and correlating the telephone number with the number of times of transmission. Then, the sender list 9 read from the main memory 4 is added with the collected data, and the sender list 9 is rearranged in the descending order of the number of times of transmission, and the rearranged new sender list 9 is re-maintained. The memory 4 is controlled to be stored.

As shown in FIG. 2, the sender list 9 corresponds to an entry number 91, an area 92 for recording the telephone number of the other party, and an area 93 for recording the number of times the telephone number of the other party is transmitted. With the control of the CPU 2, the sender list is constructed in descending order of the number of outgoing calls.

Next, the operation of the telephone with the speed dial list creation support tool having the above configuration will be described.

First, the procedure for creating the sender list 9 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. However, it is assumed that the sender list 9 is in an initial state in which nothing is recorded.

In this initial state, when the user of the telephone picks up the handset unit 5 and operates the dial key of the key operation unit 6 to make a call, the telephone number of the called party (for example, 123 -4567) is sent from the control unit 1 to the CPU 2. Upon receiving the telephone number data from the control unit 1, the CPU 2 counts the number of times the telephone number is called. That is, the number of outgoing calls is counted by detecting off-hook, dialing of the other party's telephone number, and on-hook, and the data of the other party's telephone number and the number of outgoing calls of 1 are collected. After this, CP
U2 determines whether or not the called telephone number is already registered in the caller list 9 stored in the main memory 4 (step S1). In this case, since the sender list is in the initial state, the CPU 2 records the collected data in the area of entry number 1 of the sender list 9. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the entry number 1 includes the telephone number of the other party (123-456).
7) and the number of transmissions 1 are recorded (step S2).

Next, when the user makes a call operation to a different party's telephone number (for example, 234-5678), as shown in FIG. 4, by the processing of steps S1 and S2, as shown in FIG. In the area of entry number 2 of 9, the telephone number (234-5678) of the other party and the number of times of transmission 1 are recorded.

Each time there is a call to a new telephone number, the CP
In U2, the above steps S1 and S2 are repeated to sequentially create the sender list 9.

At this time, the user enters the entry number 2
When a call operation is made to the same phone number as the phone number (234-5678) recorded in (1), the CPU 2 receives the phone number data from the control unit 1 and counts the number of times 1 the phone number is called. After that, the CPU 2 determines whether the called telephone number is already registered in the caller list 9 stored in the main memory 4 (step S1). In this case, since the same telephone number is recorded in the entry number 2 of the sender list 9 as shown in FIG. 4, the CPU 2 sets the telephone number (234-5678) recorded in the entry number 2 to the CPU 2. The number of outgoing calls 2 is counted by adding 1 to the number of outgoing calls 1 (step S3).

After that, the CPU 2 compares the number of times the telephone number of the entry number 1 is recorded with the number of times of the telephone number of the entry number 2 that has been counted up this time. The rearrangement is performed so that it is at the top of the list 9. That is, in the sender list 9 after the rearrangement, as shown in FIG. 5, the data of the telephone number (234-5678) and the number of transmissions 2 are recorded in the entry number 1 and the telephone number (in the entry number 2 123-4567), and the data of the transmission number 1 is recorded (step S4).

The CPU 2 repeats the above steps S1 to S4 each time a new call is made, and creates and modifies the caller list 9 so that the phone numbers are arranged in descending order of the number of calls.

Next, the operation for registering the speed dial based on the caller list 9 thus created will be described.

First, the user presses the registration key of the key operation unit 6 to put the telephone in the speed dial registration mode, and then presses the caller list key, so that the telephone number recorded in the entry number 1 in the caller list is pressed. (In this case, 234
-5678) and the number of transmissions (twice) are displayed on the display unit 7. If the user presses the selection key at this point, the displayed telephone number is registered in the speed dial (eg, # 01). As a result, the speed dial registration can be directly performed from the sender list 9.

When the user again presses the caller list key, the display unit 7 displays the telephone number (123-4567 in this case) recorded in the entry number 2 and the number of calls (one time). Is displayed. When the user presses the selection key at this point, the displayed telephone number is registered in the speed dial (for example, # 02). By performing such an operation in sequence, the speed dials can be registered from the caller list 9 in the order of the number of outgoing calls, so that the speed dials can be registered according to the actual usage. Further, since the speed dial is directly registered from the sender list 9, the occurrence of registration error can be prevented.

Next, the processing for initializing the sender list 9 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In this case, first, the sender list key is pressed to display the contents of the entry number 1 of the sender list 9 on the display unit 7. Then, "0" is entered in the field of the telephone number of the other party of the displayed entry number 1 (step S11), and subsequently "0" is entered in the field of the number of outgoing calls (step S12). As a result, the content of entry number 1 is initialized. The initialization of the sender list 9 is completed by repeating such processing up to the lowest entry number (step S13).

In the present embodiment, the speed dial is registered directly from the sender list 9, but if it is desired to simplify the structure, the display unit 7 can be used.
The user may directly operate the dial keys to register the speed dial while looking at the caller list 9 displayed in FIG. Even in this case, since the speed dial can be registered while looking at the sender list 9, the speed dial can be registered in accordance with the actual usage.

[0030]

As described above, the telephone set with the speed dial list creation support tool of the present invention counts the number of times the dial number is called every time an arbitrary dial number is called, and associates the dial number with the number of calls. A list creating means for collecting the data and sorting the collected data in descending order of the number of transmissions to create a sender list,
In the speed dial registration mode, there is provided a display means for displaying the caller list created by the list creating means on the display, and a registration means for registering the speed dial according to the caller list displayed on the display. Therefore, since it is possible to register speed dials based on a list of callers arranged in descending order of the number of outgoing calls, it is possible to register speed dials easily and reliably according to the actual usage. Play.
