Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a communication terminal device such as a facsimile or a telephone which can be transmitted by a speed dial including a one-touch dial.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the spread of communication terminal devices such as facsimiles and telephones, simplification of operability has been demanded, and speed dials including one-touch dials have been widely used. However, when registering the line number or destination name of the partner station on such a speed dial, a special registration operation is required. However, the operator has to perform all input operations, which is burdensome and troublesome.

In order to eliminate such inconvenience, a dial number (line number) actually called is used and automatically registered, which is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-268.
It is shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 549. More specifically, in the order of calling, after transmission, if the dial number is not registered, it is automatically registered, and if the memory for registration is full, it is left to the operator's judgment to allow or deny registration or change registration. It's something I got to get. According to this, it is not necessary to input all the line numbers only for registration, and the registration operability is improved.

[0004]

According to the above-mentioned publication method, if there is an empty area in the registration memory, it will be registered without fail. However, in consideration of the actual usage pattern, the party who actually made the call does not always use the party thereafter, and there are cases where the party who has extremely rarely used the situation. Even in such a case, uniform registration tends to fill up the registration memory, and as a result, it is necessary to perform an operation to judge whether the operator is allowed to register or to change and register each time the transmission is completed. Becomes In the end, there will be less flexibility regarding the pros and cons of registration.

Further, considering facsimile communication and the like,
Generally, when a transmission is received from a partner, a reply transmission is often sent to the partner. At the time of such a reply, if the other party's line number is not registered, at least the line number must be entered to actually make a call, and the fact that the other party has received the transmission is effective. It cannot be used.

[0006]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided transmitting means for transmitting a line number to a line, and storage means for sequentially storing the line numbers transmitted by the transmitting means in the order of transmission. Selection and designation means for selecting and designating calling of a desired line number from the information stored in the storage means, registration means for registering the line number in combination with a corresponding registration key, and key inputting for the registration key When the operation designated by the registration key is performed during communication between the key input means and the partner station, the line number of the partner station is registered in the registration means and the operation designated by the registration key is waited for. When it is performed, it is constituted by registration control means for registering the line number selected and specified by the selection specifying means in the registration means.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the detecting means for detecting the station number information CSI transmitted from the partner station during the facsimile communication and the storing means for sequentially storing the station number information CSI detected by the detecting means in the order of detection. And selection designation means for selecting and designating a call of desired station number information CSI from the information stored in this storage means, and station number information C
Registration means for registering SI in combination with the corresponding registration key, key input means for key-inputting the registration key, and the other party when the operation determined by the registration key is performed during communication with the partner station. The station number information CSI of the station is registered as the line number in the registration means, and when the operation specified by the registration key is performed during standby, the station number information CSI selected and designated by the selection designation means is set as the line number. It is configured by a registration control unit that causes the registration unit to register.

According to the third aspect of the invention, the station number information CSI transmitted from the partner station during facsimile communication and the detecting means for detecting the partner station name information, and the station number information CSI detected by this detecting means are simultaneously provided. Storage means for sequentially storing the detected partner station name information in the order of detection, and desired station number information CS from the information stored in this storage means

When the operation is performed, it is constituted by the registration control means for causing the registration means to register the station number information CSI selected and designated by the selection designation means as the line number together with the corresponding partner station name information.

[0009]

According to the first aspect of the invention, the line number issued by the own station is focused on and sequentially stored, and the line number is registered during communication by distinguishing between communication with the partner station and standby. By operating the key, you can directly register the line number issued from your own station as an abbreviated number etc.If you operate the registration key during standby, only the designated line number selected by the selecting and specifying means will be speed dialed. Although it is possible to register as a etc., and basic prerequisite operation is required, there is no trouble of keying in the line number just for registration, and,
Only the items that are considered necessary from the beginning can be efficiently registered by reflecting the intention of the operator, and the registration operability is extremely good.

According to the second aspect of the invention, attention is paid to the station number information CSI of the partner station, which is obtained by protocol exchange in the facsimile communication, and this station number information CSI is detected even when the partner station side has facsimile communication. Since the line number can be known by doing so, if the registration key is operated during communication, the station number information CS
The line number can be registered from I as a speed dial or the like, and when the registration key is operated during standby, only the line number is selected as a speed dial or the like from the station number information CSI selected by the selecting and specifying means. It is possible to register, and it becomes extremely easy to register by effectively using communication from the other party, and it is possible to efficiently register only what seems necessary from the beginning reflecting the intention of the operator.
