The operation of the multifunction telephone device configured as above will be described below.

First, the setting of the mode of the multi-function telephone device of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the mode setting of the multi-function telephone device according to the embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the main power source of the device is turned on, the control means 12 determines whether the device is in the dial mode for making a call or in the program mode for storing a telephone number and a personal identification number. . First, it is determined whether the dial mode is set (S1). If the dial mode is set, the flow chart shown in FIG. 4 is followed. If it is not the dial mode, it is determined whether it is the program mode (S2), and if it is the program mode, the flow chart shown in FIG. 3 is followed. If neither state is set, the operation of the program button 7 or hook switch 8 is awaited. Here, when the program button 7 is operated (S3), the control means 12 sets the program mode (S4), returns to S2, and follows the program mode flowchart shown in FIG. When the hook switch 8 is operated (S5), the control means 12 sets the dial mode (S6), returns to S1, and follows the flowchart of the dial mode shown in FIG.

Next, the control means 1 controls the telephone number and the personal identification number.
The program mode stored in 2 will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a program mode of the multi-function telephone device according to the embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the personal identification number is stored in the program mode, the control means 12 sets the personal identification number storage mode. If the individual designation button 11 is used, the procedure for storing the telephone number is as follows: dial button 5, individual designation button 11, station button 6,
When the individual designation button 11 is not used, the dial button 5 as a one-touch dial, the station button 6
In that order. The personal identification number is stored in the order of the individual designation button 11 and the dial button 5.

First, a procedure for storing a telephone number using the individual designation button 11 will be described. When the control means 12 sets the program mode by operating the program button 7, first, as shown in FIG. 3, it is determined whether or not the personal identification number storage mode is set (S7). At this time, the control means 12 has not set the personal identification number storage mode and proceeds to the storage side of the telephone number. First, a key is accepted (S8), and it is determined whether or not the key is operated (S8).
9). If there is no key operation, the process returns to S1 and waits for key operation. If there is a key operation, the control means 12 determines whether it is the individual designation button 11 (S10) or the station button 6 (S11), and if neither is the dial button 5.

In storing the telephone number using the individual designation button 11, first, the dial button 5 is operated to input the telephone number. When the control means 12 determines in S9 that the dial button 5 is the operated key, the control means 12 temporarily stores the input telephone number in the input data area of the storage means 10, and therefore the first address of the input data area is set. In order to indicate, the V pointer 10a is set to 1, the H pointer 10b is set to F, and the L pointer 10c is set to 0 (S1
2) Every time one key of the dial button 5 is operated, it is determined whether or not the operated key is at the 16th digit (S1).
3) If it is the 16th digit, the input is regarded as the last and the input of the telephone number by the dial button 5 is finished. If it is less than the 16th digit, the control means 12 temporarily stores it in the address of the input data area indicated by the pointer set in S12 (S14), and sets the L pointer 10c to indicate the address for storing the data of the next digit. Increment (S15) and repeat until all telephone numbers are registered or 16 digits are reached.

When the storage of the telephone number in the input data area is completed and then the individual designating button 11 is operated, first, the control means 12 sets the input individual designating button 11 to the program mode of the control means 12. After the setting, it is determined whether the key is operated first (S16). If the individual designation button 11 is the key operated first, the procedure for storing the personal identification number is followed, but here, the dial button 5 is used first.
Is input, the control means 12 sets only the V pointer 10a according to the type of the individual designation button 11 operated in S10 for storing the telephone number (S17). For example, if the individual designation button 11 operated in S10 is the M1 button or the M2 button, the control means 12 sets the V pointer 10a to 0, and if the M3 button or the M4 button, the V pointer 10a is set to 1.

When the station button 6 is operated after the control means 12 sets the V pointer 10a in S17 by operating the individual designation button 11, the control means 12 controls the H pointer 1 according to the type of the station button 6.
0b and L pointer 10c are set (S18).
For example, when the M2 button of the individual designation button 11 is operated in S10 and the N3 button of the station button 6 is operated in S11, the control means 12 has already set the V pointer 10a to 0 in S17, so the H pointer 10b is set. The C and L pointers 10c are set to 0. Here, S is set to the address indicated by the pointer in S18.
The telephone number temporarily stored in the input data area in 14 is moved digit by digit, and the L pointer 10c is incremented and stored for each digit (S19). When all the data have been transferred, the control means 12 releases the program mode (S20), and the storage of the telephone number using the individual designation button 11 is completed.

Next, in the case of storing the personal identification number, if the individual designating button 11 is operated as the first operated key after the control means 12 sets the program mode, the control means 12 will be operated. Sets the personal identification number storage mode (S21), and the operated individual designation button 11
According to the type, the pointer indicating the head address for storing the personal identification number is set (S22). For example, if the M2 button of the individual designation buttons 11 is operated,
The control means 12 sets the V pointer 10a to 0 and the H pointer 10
b is set to F and L pointer 10c is set to 3. When the pointer is set, the process returns to S1 to enter the personal identification number storage mode in S7. In the personal identification number storage mode, first, a key is accepted (S23), and it is determined whether or not the operated key is present (S24). If there is no operated key, the process returns to S1. If there is an operated key, the control means 12
Determines whether the key is a key of the numbers 0 to 9 of the dial button 5 (S25), and if it is a key other than the numbers 0 to 9, the program mode is canceled (S29). Return to S1. In the case of a key having a number from 0 to 9, the key is stored in the address indicated by the pointer in S22 (S26), and the control means 12 determines whether or not it is the third digit each time one digit is stored ( S27). If it is not the third digit, the L pointer 10c is incremented in order to store the secret code of the next digit (S28), and the process is repeated until all the secret codes are input or the input reaches the third digit. If it is the third digit, it means that the storage of the personal identification number is completed, so the control means 12
Cancels the program mode (S29) and finishes storing the personal identification number.

When the telephone number is stored, after the telephone number is input by the dial button 5, the individual designation button 1
When the station button 6 is operated without using 1, the address in the storage means 10 can be specified only by the station button 6, which is the same as the conventional example.

Finally, the dial mode for dialing to the telephone line 1 will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the dial mode of the multi-function telephone device according to the embodiment of the present invention.

In the dial mode, the call procedure using the individual designation button 11 is the individual designation button 11, the personal identification number (dial button 5), and the station button 6 in that order. In addition, in the call procedure using the individual designation button 11,
There is a personal identification number check mode for confirming whether the personal identification number to be input is the same as the personal identification number stored in the storage means 10.

As shown in FIG. 4, in the dial mode,
First, the key is accepted (S30), and the control means 12 determines whether or not the key is operated (S31). If there is no key operation, the process returns to S1 and waits for key operation. If the key is operated, the control means 12 determines whether or not the personal identification number check mode is performed in which the personal identification number for the individual designation button 11 is checked (S32). At this time, the control means 12 has not set the personal identification number check mode, and the control means 12 operates whether the operated key is the individual designation button 11 (S33) or the station button 6 (S34).
To determine.

In the dialing procedure using the individual designating button 11, first, the individual designating button 11 is operated, and the control means 12 determines whether or not the personal identification number of the individual designating button 11 is stored in the storage means 10 (S3).
5). If the secret code is not stored, the process returns to S1 and waits for the next key operation. If the personal identification number is stored, the control means 12 sets the personal identification number check mode (S3).
6) The pointer indicating the beginning of the address storing the personal identification number for the input individual designation button 11 is set (S37). For example, if the operated individual designation button 11 is the M3 button, the control means 12 sets the V pointer 10a to 0, the H pointer 10b to F, and the L pointer 10c.
Set to 6 Dial button 5 for entering the password in S30
Is operated, the personal identification number check mode is entered in S32. First, the control means 12 determines whether or not the personal identification number input by the dial button 5 and the personal identification number stored in the storage means 10 and indicated by the pointer in S37 are the same (S38). If they are different, the control means 12 sends a signal to that effect to the beep sound generation means 4, and the beep sound generation means 4 sounds an error sound (S39). If they match, the control means 12 determines whether or not it is the third digit (S40), and if it is not the third digit, the control means 12 sets the next digit. The L pointer 10c is incremented (S41), returned to S1, and repeated until the third digit is reached. If it is the third digit, the beep sound generation means 4 outputs a coincident sound (S42), and the control means 12 sets the V pointer 10a to indicate the address of the telephone number according to the type of the individual designation button 11 operated in S33. (S43) to cancel the security code check mode (S43)
44) and returns to S1 to wait for the operation of the station button 6. For example, if the individual designation button 11 operated in S33 is the M1 button or the M2 button, the control means 12 sets the V pointer 10a to 0, and if it is the M3 button or the M4 button, sets the V pointer 10a to 1.

When the station button 6 is operated after the personal identification number is checked, the control means 12
Individual designation button 1 operated in S33 and S34
The pointer indicating the head of the address specified by 1 and the station button 6 is set (S45). The control means 12 determines whether or not there is a telephone number at the address indicated by the pointer (S46), and if there is a telephone number, the control means 12 sends the data to the dial signal sending means 3 to the telephone line 1. After sending out (S47) and incrementing the L pointer 10c (S48), it returns to S46 and sends out the data of the next digit. When there is no more data at the address indicated by the pointer in S45, the control means 12
Determines in S46 that there is no data, determines whether all data transmission has been completed (S49). If not completed, returns to S1 to search for the next data, and if completed, sets dial mode. Cancel (S50).

When the dial button 5 is pressed after the control means 12 has set the dial mode, it is regarded that the telephone number is directly input by the dial button 5, and the input data is transmitted from the dial signal transmitting means 3 to the telephone line. 1 (S51), the end is determined in S49, and if not ended, the process returns to S1 to input the next data, and if ended, the dial mode is released in S50.

When the station button 6 is operated after the control means 12 sets the dial mode,
The control means 12 performs dial output from the address of the telephone number in the storage means 10 specified only by the station button 6, and becomes the same as the conventional example.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the address of the telephone number in the storage means 10 is specified only by operating the station button 6, and the storage means 1 is operated by combining the station button 6 and the individual designation button 11.
By specifying the address of the telephone number in 0, the number of the addresses of the telephone number stored in the storage unit 10 can be increased. For example, in the past, if there were nine one-touch dial keys, only nine addresses could be specified, but as in this embodiment, the station button 6
When the number is 5 and the individual designation button 11 is 4, 25 addresses can be designated.

Since the personal identification number for the individual designation button 11 is provided in the storage means 10, the same personal identification number stored in the storage means 10 must be input after operating the individual designation button 11 when dialing. If you don't dial, it will be highly confidential.
