Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an automatic dialing device. In this type of device, telephone numbers corresponding to a large number of subscribers are stored in advance in a storage means. It is constructed so that a telephone number can be sent to a central office line by operating a push button (key).

However, if a telephone number is sent by operating a single key, there is a problem that the device may be activated if something is placed on the device or if the key is touched unconsciously.

Therefore, it has become conceivable to control the acquisition of the central office line and the transmission of the telephone number using separate key operations. .

On the other hand, if the number of stored phone numbers corresponding to a subscriber increases, it will be t! Since the number of key number designation keys increases and the device becomes large in size, the number designation keys and shift key (one half of the maximum number of strokes) are generally configured together.

For example, if there are 60 telephone number subscribers, 30 number designation keys are provided, and 30 subscribers can be accessed by operating only the number designation keys, and the remaining 30 subscribers can be accessed by operating the number designation key and shift key. Usually, the configuration is such that each is selected according to the following. In such a device, if a subscriber number is selected only by the number designation key, the above-mentioned disadvantages occur when transmitting a telephone number. Therefore, it is conceivable to use separate key operations to control central office line acquisition and telephone number transmission as described above, but in this case, the shift key and number specification key are operated to select the first subscriber. Sending a telephone number requires key operations a total of three times, which poses a problem in that the ease of operation as an auto-dial device is impaired.

Next, it will be further explained with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 is the J-lower 9 diagram of the conventional i-to-dial device.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a station w, a terminal, 2 a station line acquisition circuit, and 3 a telephone number sending means, for example, an MF signal generation circuit.

Reference numeral 4 represents a memory as a storage means for storing a large number of telephone numbers; 5 represents a number designation key for reading out the telephone numbers stored in the memory 4; for example, as described above, 1/2 of the number of stored subscriber numbers; ￥ll! There is a 6 is a foot key for accessing the storage location of memory 4, 7
The central office line acquisition key 28 is a controller, for example, a microprocessor, and is configured to perform the operations described later in response to signal input from the serial number designation key 5, etc. It should be noted that the telephone number sending means 3 is not limited to the case of using MF doubling, but the same applies even when using a pulse signal.

Next, the operation will be explained.

When attempting to automatically dial a telephone number stored in advance in the memory 4, the central office line capture key 7 is first operated. As a result, the control circuit 8 controls the station line acquisition circuit 2 to acquire the station line. Next, operate t:me number designation key 5 to designate the phone number stored in memory 4.
．． /2, so when the telephone number corresponds to another 1/2, the shift key 6 is operated, and then the number designation key 5 is operated. As a result, the control circuit 8
reads out a predetermined telephone number stored in the memory 4, and transmits the number information to a telephone number sending means, for example, M
The F4M number is given to the F4M number generation circuit 3, which converts it into a dialed number (g) and sends it out to the central office line.As explained above, if it is necessary to operate the shift key 6 to read the telephone number, The key operation is required three times, which impairs the simplicity of operation of the A-to-dial device and the A-C operation.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an auto-dial device according to the present invention, and the same parts as in FIG. 1 are given the same layers to avoid duplication of explanation. Reference numerals 6a and 6b indicate station line capture keys; no matter which waste capture key is operated, the control circuit 8' controls the station line capture circuit 2 in the same way as in FIG. 1, and the station line is captured. : It is composed of -C. .

Also, one of the central line capture keys, for example, the waste cotton capture key 6a,
Since it is configured to also serve as a shift 1 key, its operation signal is input to the control circuit 8' as a shift signal.

7' is a memory 4 for displaying, for example, a light-emitting guide, etc.
The telephone number stored in the telephone number is displayed under the control of a control circuit 8'.

Note that the display driving method and the like are the same as those known in the art.

The number designation key 5 is used as the memory 4 in the same way as in the explanation of FIG.
1/2 of the number of telephone numbers stored in the memory 4 is provided, and each number designation key corresponds to two of the telephone numbers stored in the memory 4, and one of them can be designated to automatically dial. Which of the central line acquisition keys 6a and 6b or the operation V (this makes it very easy to select).

This will be explained in detail with reference to FIG.

A is the main body of the EID dial device, and parts not directly related to the present invention are omitted. As described above, each of the many number designation keys 5 corresponds to two subscriber telephone numbers, and the corresponding parties are written above and below each number designation key 5. The person with the phone number on the J: side is specified by entering the i=position in the memory. Enter the other party.

By shifting in this way, the operation of the central line acquisition keys 6a and 6b, which is performed prior to the operation of the designated key 5, is performed using the central line acquisition key G a (Jyufi) for the above-mentioned upper partner.
ill), and if the other party is on the lower side, press the station line acquisition key 6b (
(lower side), and then the corresponding number designation key 5. In order to make the correspondence between the station line acquisition keys 6a and 6b and the above-mentioned destinations written above and below the number designation key 5 more clearly, the open cotton acquisition keys 6a and 6b are colored differently. If the display is colored in accordance with this, the operation in item 1 will become even easier.

That is, in the present application, it is possible to operate the automatic terminal and operate the cotton opening capture key 6a (6b) and the number designation key 5, that is, to operate the key j chestnut only twice for any telephone number. Therefore, the above-mentioned conventional inconveniences can be overcome.

Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, a display 7' is provided to display the telephone number stored in the memory 4. For example, the telephone number of the other party corresponding to a predetermined number designation key 5 can be confirmed. There are often times when it is necessary to do so.

At this time, there is no need for automatic gearing, so there is no need to acquire station f4H.

Therefore, the station line acquisition keys 6a and 6b are also used as display instruction keys. In other words, the activation of automatic dialing is controlled by operating the cotton opening capture key 6n (6b) and the number designation key 5 in the order of C operation as described above, and when the operation is performed in the reverse order, the control circuit is F16s' controls displaying the telephone number selected by the number designation key 5 (J, -) on the display M71. At this time, the station line acquisition key 6a (6b) also serves as the display instruction key.
Configuring the control circuit for such an operation can be easily implemented by, for example, microprocessor programming technology.

As explained above, according to the present invention, a plurality of central line acquisition keys are provided, and at least one of the central line acquisition keys doubles as the shift key of the number designation key. Activating automatic dialing of a phone number is the same operation.
Moreover, since the key operation is performed twice, the conventional problems mentioned at the beginning can be solved.

In addition, in the embodiment, the case where the number designation key is set to 172, which is the number of 8 telephone numbers stored, was explained, but if the number is set to 1/3 and t
In the second case, the number of opening capture keys may be three thin membranes 7, and two of them may be configured to also serve as shift keys.
