Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the operation of a digital cordless telephone.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Most telephones in recent years have a function of registering a telephone number of a destination to be frequently called in a telephone directory or the like. By the way, for telephones under a private branch exchange (hereinafter referred to as PBX), there are two cases:
In order to distinguish a call from an outside line, a special number for outside line transmission (for example, “0”, which is hereinafter referred to as an outside line transmission number) is added to the head of the telephone number and dialed. There is a need.

If the line to be connected is fixed, such as a wired telephone, it is always necessary to add an outside line calling number when making a PBX outside line. Therefore, the outside line calling number is previously stored in a memory called a one-touch key or a telephone directory. The telephone number to which the number has been added may be registered. Table 1 categorizes and shows dialing contents by the destination of the wired telephone under the PBX.

[0004]

[Table 1]

[0005] On the other hand, a digital cordless telephone such as a PHS telephone can be used by being registered in a private base station and used in addition to public use. Here, when the private base station is connected to the PBX, the PHS telephone is connected to the PBX when the telephone operates in the private mode, while the PHS telephone is connected to the public base station when the telephone operates in the public mode. It depends on where you move. Therefore, in order to make an outgoing call while using the PHS telephone in the self-employed mode, it is necessary to add an outside line calling number (for example, “0”) at the beginning and dial. On the other hand, when the same PHS telephone is used in the public mode, it is not necessary to add an outside line calling number when dialing. Also, it is necessary to call an external telephone number to a party who can make a call using the PBX extension while using the PHS telephone in the private mode while using the same PHS telephone in the public mode. Table 2 shows, by classifying, the dialing contents of the PHS telephones that can communicate via the privately owned base station under the PBX.

[0006]

[Table 2]

Therefore, when registering a telephone directory in a conventional PHS telephone, it is necessary to register as shown in Table 3.

[0008]

[Table 3]

[0009] For example, when a call is made to one of the other party "Suzuki" outside the PBX from the PBX extension (self-employed mode), the registered name is "Suzuki 1" and the outside line number (subscriber telephone number) is entered. Add an outside line number "0" at the beginning and register it in the phone book. When making a call using an outside line (public mode), set the registered name to "Suzuki 2" and enter only the outside line number (subscriber phone number). You need to register in the phone book.
Similarly, when a call is made to one partner "Sato" in the PBX from the PBX extension (self-employed mode),
If the registered name is "Sato 1" and the telephone directory is registered with the PBX extension number, and if the call is to be made on an outside line (public mode), the registered name is "Sato 2" and only the outside line number (subscriber telephone number) Need to be registered in the phonebook. In dialing, it is necessary to confirm the current operation mode of the PHS telephone and select one of two registered names (that is, telephone numbers) according to this mode to dial.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION For a destination registered in a telephone directory, a caller always has a simple operation without being conscious of the operation mode of the telephone and unaware of the necessity of adding an outside line transmission number. It is an object of the present invention to provide a digital cordless telephone in which a call is made by an operation.

[0011]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention provides a function for setting the addition of an outside line transmission number. , It is possible to automatically add an outside line calling number. In addition, an outside line number and PB
It has a function of registering two numbers of X extension numbers in the telephone directory, and a function of automatically selecting an appropriate telephone number according to the operation mode of its own PHS telephone and dialing.

As described above, the user can make a dial call using the telephone directory with one registered name to the same destination without worrying about the operation mode of his / her PHS telephone, thereby preventing erroneous dialing. be able to.

(1) Phone Book Registration An operation method for registering a name and a corresponding phone number as a phone book will be described. Here, it is assumed that the first telephone number and the second telephone number can be registered for one name.

The transition to the telephone directory registration mode is performed by, for example, pressing the "phone directory" button 105 while holding down the "function" button 107 when waiting for an incoming call. Here, for example, a name can be entered and registered using kana and alphabets assigned to the dial buttons 103 in advance. After inputting the name, for example, by pressing a “function” button 107, a mode for inputting a telephone number can be entered.
Press and enter the dialed digits. Here, when registering two telephone numbers for one name, for example, an outside line number as the first number and a PBX extension number as the second number, the two numbers are separated by pressing the “/” button 104. The symbol "/" is inserted, and the second number, P
When registering only the BX extension number, a delimiter “/” may be input at the beginning of the extension number. When the input of the name and the telephone number is completed and the registration is completed, for example, the “function” button 107 is pressed, and the process returns to the incoming call waiting state.

FIG. 2 (1-a) shows a display example on the display 111. 201 is a pictogram indicating the electric field strength in the wireless connection, 202 is a pictogram that is lit when the phone is in the private mode, 203 is a pictogram that is lit when the phone is in the public mode, and 204 is the remaining battery power of the phone.

FIG. 2 (1-b) 208 shows that, for one name, an outside line number is used as a first number and P is used as a second number.
This shows a state in which the BX extension number is registered by separating it with “/”. In this figure, since the number of digits of the telephone number is larger than the number of display digits per one line of the display, the dial numbers exceeding the number of display digits are scrolled to the left.

Reference numeral 209 in FIG. 2 (1-c) shows a state in which an extension number is registered as a second number for one name. By entering "/" at the beginning, the telephone determines that this is a second number.

(2) External Line Transmission Number Setting The setting for adding an external line transmission number will be described.

At the time of waiting for an incoming call, a function setting mode is started by, for example, pressing a “function” button 107. Subsequently, for example, the “search” button 106 is pressed to select and display the outside line transmission number setting. Here, when setting the outside line transmission number, the outside line transmission number is input from the dial button 103 (for example, “0”). On the other hand, when the outside line transmission number is not set, the input number can be deleted by pressing the “cursor” button 108, for example. After the setting is completed, the function setting mode is ended by pressing the "function" button 107, and the state returns to the incoming call waiting state. FIG. 2 (2-a) 210 is a display when the outside line transmission number is set to “0”. Fig. 2 (2-b) 2

(3) Dialing by telephone directory A specific example of telephone directory registration and dialing in a PHS telephone registered in a private base station under PBX will be described with reference to Table 4.

[0023]

[Table 4]

Since "Suzuki" in Table 4 is a partner who owns only the outside number, the outside number "03" is used as the first number.
98765432 "is registered. When dialing "Suzuki", when the telephone is in the self-employed mode, an outside line number "0" is automatically added to the head of the outside line number. On the other hand, when the telephone is in the public mode, only this outside line number is dialed.

"Sato" in Table 4 has the same P
BX and therefore PBX extension, PBX
Because you can call me on either outside line,
The outside number “0312345678” as the first number,
The PBX extension number "9999" is registered as the second number. When the telephone is in the private mode, the second number is automatically selected and only the PBX extension "9999" is dialed. On the other hand, when the telephone is in the public mode, the first number is automatically selected and the external number "03" is selected.
No. 12345678 "is dialed.

An example of dialing operation using a telephone directory will be described below. It is assumed that the outside line transmission number is “0”.

When waiting for an incoming call, the "Phonebook" button 10
When 5 is depressed, the dialing mode based on the telephone directory is entered. Next, by inputting the initials of the name to be read using the dial button 103 and then pressing the “search” button 106, the search result is displayed on the display 111. Here, it is assumed that "Sato" (Table 4) has been searched.
Since "Sato"'s outside line number "0312345678" and PBX extension number "9999" are registered separated by "/", if the telephone is in the self-employed mode, P
The BX extension number and the outside line number are automatically selected and displayed when the telephone is in the public mode. FIG. 2 (3-a) is a display example of an outside line number in the public mode, and FIG. 2 (3-b) is a display example of a PBX extension number in the private mode. here,
In the case of the self-employed mode, when the “call” button 109 is pressed while the PBX extension number is displayed, the P
Dialing can be performed with the BX extension number. On the other hand, by pressing the "call" button 109 while the external line number is being selected and displayed in the public mode, dialing can be performed without adding an external line calling number.

(Control of Operation) Next, a control method for realizing the operation of the present embodiment will be described.

(1) Telephone directory registration The control unit 110 monitors the button pressed state. At this time, when the “function” button 107 and the “phonebook” button 105 are simultaneously pressed when waiting for an incoming call, the control unit 110 shifts the mode to the phonebook registration mode. Subsequently, an unregistered (newly registerable) registration number in the telephone directory memory is checked, the registration number is displayed on the display 111, and a name and telephone number input screen is displayed. Then dial button 1
If there is a press of 03, a kana or alphabet corresponding to the pressed state is displayed. Then "Function" button 10
When 7 is pressed, control unit 110 determines that the input of the name is completed, and determines that subsequent pressing of dial button 103 is the input of the first telephone number. When the “/” button 104 is pressed, the subsequent pressing of the dial button 103 is determined to be the input of the second telephone number. "Function" button 107
Pressing determines that the telephone directory entry is completed, and writes the entered name and telephone number in the area of the telephone directory memory 112 corresponding to the registration number. After the writing is completed, the state returns to the incoming call waiting state, and the state is displayed on the display 111.

(2) External Line Calling Number Setting If the “function” button 107 is pressed when waiting for an incoming call, the control section 110 displays on the display 111 that the mode has shifted to the function setting mode. Next, each time the “search” button 106 is pressed, the setting item names are sequentially displayed,
The existing setting content data is read from the function setting content memory 113 and displayed. Here, when the mode is shifted to the outside line transmission number setting mode, the existing outside line transmission number is displayed and the input of the outside line transmission number is awaited. Here, if a number is input from the dial button 103, it is determined that the number is a new number, and if the “cursor” button 108 is input, it is determined that the input number has been deleted. Subsequently, when the “function” button 107 is pressed, the control unit 110 recognizes the input content as the outside line transmission number setting value, stores it in the function setting content memory 113, and returns to the incoming call waiting state.

(3) Dial Call Using Phone Book A control example of the dial call operation using the phone book will be described below. Here, it is assumed that the outside line transmission number is set to “0”.

When the telephone is waiting for an incoming call, the "phone book"
When the button 105 is pressed, the control unit 110 displays on the display 111 that the transmission mode has been set to the telephone book. Here, there is an input of a kana character (the first letter of the name) using the dial button 103, and then a “search” button 10
6 is pressed, the control unit 110
And the corresponding name and telephone number are displayed on the display unit 111.

Here, the type of the telephone number registered in the telephone directory (the first number or the second number) and the operation mode of the telephone are determined, and the dialing method is controlled as shown in Table 4.
The following describes an example of dialing out to "Suzuki" and "Sato" in Table 4.

In the case of dialing "Suzuki",
The control unit 110 monitors whether the mode is the self-employment mode or the public mode. Next, when the “call” button 109 is pressed, the control unit 110 checks the setting state of the outside line calling number. When the outside line calling number is set in the self-employed mode, an outside line calling number is added to the head of the registered outside line number and dialing is performed. In the case of the public mode, dialing is performed only for the registered outside line number regardless of whether the outside line number is set.

In the case of dialing out to "Sato",
The control unit 110 monitors whether the mode is the self-employment mode or the public mode. In the case of the self-employed mode, the extension number is selected and displayed. In the case of the public mode, an external line number is selected and displayed. Next, when the "call" button 109 is pressed, in the self-employed mode, dialing of the extension number after "/" is performed regardless of the setting of the outside line calling number. In the case of the public mode, dialing of only the outside line number is performed regardless of the setting of the outside line number.

[0036]

As described above, the present invention has the following effects.

(1) Depending on the operation mode, addition / non-addition of an outside line transmission number is automatically performed. Furthermore, since it is possible to register the telephone number of the other party who has two telephone numbers for one name in the telephone directory, one's own PHS
For telephone A under the same PBX as the telephone,
BX extension number // PBX extension number of A can be registered in the telephone directory, and the number is automatically selected according to the operation mode at the time of calling. As a result, you are in self-employed mode,
No matter when you are in public mode,
Dialing can be performed using the telephone directory.
For example, in both cases of using the PBX extension in the private mode and going out to use the public mode,
Calls can be made with the same registered name. Therefore, it is possible to improve the inconvenience of registering the same partner with a different name for each operation mode and selecting a name for each operation mode and transmitting the call as in the related art.

(2) A PHS telephone which has conventionally been used in the public mode and has used dialing based on a telephone directory,
By newly registering with the privately owned base station under the PBX and setting the outside line calling number, it can be used without changing the registered contents of the telephone directory at all. That is, the same operation as the conventional telephone directory dialing in the public mode allows dialing from the private directory using the telephone directory.
