Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a telephone device having a telephone number storage means and an automatic dialing function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an automatic dialing function for writing a telephone number input by a numeric keypad in a storage means and transmitting this telephone number to a telephone line by a simple operation is called a so-called speed dial or automatic dial. As is well known. These telephone numbers correspond to one telephone number for one or two buttons, but there are some that store a plurality of telephone numbers in a series of storage means, especially in the United States, such as CALLERS. DIREC
It is used as a storage means called TORY. In this case, a necessary telephone number is searched from a series of plural telephone numbers, and it is automatically dialed. As a method for quickly searching for the necessary telephone number, a search by a keyword such as a name (for example, JP-A-64-8
9847) or search by grouping (for example,
JP-A-3-171857) has been proposed.

[0003]

However, in the above method, the telephone number required for automatic dialing is not always searched early. In particular, since the display unit of the telephone number is small and the number of digits of the telephone number is large in the handset of a mobile phone or a cordless telephone, it takes time and effort to retrieve the stored telephone number, which is troublesome. Therefore, a telephone device that displays telephone numbers in the order of the number of outgoing calls is considered to be highly likely to be sent to the other party who has made many outgoing calls in the past.
It was proposed as a publication. However, even in this case, it is not always easy to use because it is difficult to read other phone numbers even after accidentally calling many times, for example, when the message is divided into a plurality of times and transmitted to the other party.

[0004]

The present invention is a series of the telephone number storage means mentioned above, DIRECTORY is stored for the convenience of the telephone owner, and CALLERS is stored based on an incoming call from the other party. It was made paying attention to that.

According to the present invention, in the telephone device having the automatic dialing function described above, the telephone stored in the first storage means for sequentially storing the telephone number of the caller sent from the telephone line when receiving a call. A second memory for displaying a telephone number on a display device based on the order in which the telephone number is stored when reading the number, and storing a plurality of sets of the telephone number input by the ten-key pad and the number of transmissions corresponding to the telephone number. In reading the telephone number stored in the means, a control circuit for displaying the telephone number on the display based on the number of transmissions is provided.

The present invention also stores the telephone number of the caller sent from the telephone line upon receiving an incoming call, and also stores a plurality of sets of telephone numbers input by the ten keys and the number of outgoing calls corresponding to the telephone numbers. With storage means,
After the telephone number of the calling party is read out and displayed on the display unit, a control unit for displaying the telephone number on the display unit based on the number of outgoing calls stored in the storage unit is provided.

Further, in the present invention, the control circuit causes the display unit to display the telephone numbers in the designated priority order based on the size of the telephone number or the number of calls when reading the telephone number from the storage means. In reading the telephone number from the storage means after disconnecting the line, the telephone number is displayed on the display in accordance with the specified priority order, and more preferably, based on the input from the input means,
The telephone numbers read from the storage means are displayed in the order of the number of outgoing calls, or are displayed based on the telephone numbers, and the telephone numbers are read out from the storage means after dialing the telephone line based on the telephone number To return to the display.

[0008]

By reading and displaying the first and second storage means in the order of the incoming call and the number of outgoing calls, it is possible to quickly retrieve a number with a high outgoing probability based on the redialing of the call. Further, even if a series of storage means is provided, the incoming call number can be read first and then the telephone numbers in descending order of the number of outgoing calls can be read. In addition, it is rather complicated to determine the reading order of the telephone number each time, while priority is given to reading the number of outgoing calls and it is also possible to read the telephone numbers in order of size, so that temporary number searches can be performed. Not only can it be handled, but it does not impair the usability of everyday automatic dialing.

[0009]

The present invention utilizes the function of CALLERS or the function of DIRECTORY. CALLERS automatically stores the received caller's telephone number and automatically dials the stored telephone number. DIRECTORY stores the telephone number entered with the ten-key (12) and automatically dials the stored telephone number.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, which is suitable for a cordless telephone device.
