[0004]

The storage of telephone number data such as a telephone number for abbreviated dialing, a telephone number for one-touch dialing, and a telephone number for registering an electronic telephone directory in the memory of the telephone is limited to a limited number of operation buttons. Since the operation is performed by monitoring the operation and the display, the operation is troublesome, or the operation cannot be performed well by some people.

In addition, by making a call from an external terminal to a telephone, control data (command data) is used to remotely control an external device near the telephone using a dial pulse signal or a dial tone signal. Even when the data is stored in the memory of the telephone, the operation is troublesome or sometimes difficult for some people. In this case, there are also problems such as a small number of types of remote control and insufficient security.

In view of the above, the present invention makes it possible to easily and quickly save telephone number data such as a telephone number for abbreviated dialing, a telephone number for one-touch dialing, a telephone number for electronic telephone directory registration, and control data for controlling an external device. It is intended to propose a method of storing information data for a telephone which can be stored in a memory associated with the telephone at a time.

[0007]

According to the present invention, there is provided a method for storing information data in a telephone set according to the present invention, wherein modulated information data from an external terminal is supplied to demodulation means of the telephone set and demodulated, and the information data from the demodulation means is demodulated. This is stored in a storage means associated with the telephone.

According to the present invention, the modulated information data from the external terminal is supplied to the demodulation means of the telephone and demodulated, and the information data from the demodulation means is stored in the storage means associated with the telephone.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An apparatus to which a method for storing information data for a telephone according to the present invention will be described in detail. First, the apparatus of FIG. 1 will be described. First, the configuration of the telephone 3 will be described. A CPU (central processing unit) 5, a modem 4, a speaker (receiver) 6, a microphone (transmitter) 7, a memory 8, a display 9 such as a liquid crystal display device, and a keyboard 10
Are connected to each other. Memory 8 is ROM and RA
M, and the ROM 8 stores a program for a telephone function.

[0010] The modem 4 is connected to a public line (including a wired line or a wireless line) 2. The external terminal 1 is a public line 2
Any one of a telephone, a personal computer, and the like that can be connected to the telephone 3 through the Internet.

Reference numeral 11 denotes external devices, each of which is a magnetic tape,
Video recording / reproducing device, audio recording / reproducing device, electronic rice cooker, electronic bath kettle, air conditioner, etc.
Recording, timer recording, operation start, timer operation start, and the like are controlled by the CPU 5 of the telephone 3.

The keyboard 10 includes a numeric keypad, an * key, and
It has keys, abbreviated dial setting buttons and abbreviated dial buttons, one-touch dial setting buttons and one-touch dial buttons, electronic telephone directory registration buttons and electronic telephone directory dial buttons, external device control setting buttons, external device control buttons, and the like.
