Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] To automatically make a call from a memorized telephone number. This invention relates to an automatic dialing device with a charge meter that displays one charge per call.

There is an automatic dialing device that automatically converts a pre-memorized telephone number into a dialing signal and sends it to a telephone line through a simple operation. In that kind of equipment. By using microcomputers to memorize telephone numbers, create dialing signals, etc. It is small, lightweight, and inexpensive. Also, what is the call charge display device? This device is attached to individual telephones and automatically displays call charges each time the telephone is used.

For each area code to which a telephone belongs, we have charge data according to the destination station. In addition, special charges apply only to areas adjacent to the area code of the originating station, so we have separate rate data corresponding to the area code of the area of the adjacent station. In other words, to find the call charge. An input device for entering the area code of the person you are dialing. It was necessary to have built-in charge data depending on the location where the call charge display device was installed. Therefore, that kind of conventional equipment (
b) If you move to a location with a different area code, you will need to re-enter the charge data according to the area code you wish to use in the new location. Occasionally,
1. Transmit signals on the telephone line via human-powered equipment. If this is done manually, there is a risk that the destination telephone number may be read incorrectly due to noise mixed in the telephone line, and in that case, the display of the charge for one call will be incorrect.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is designed to memorize the phone number of the person you often talk to in advance, and automatically convert it into a dial signal with a simple operation. The device converts the phone number and sends it to the telephone line, and displays on the display the phone number that could not be sent and the call charge that is accumulated according to the elapse of the call time, including the area code of the adjacent area, Exchange! ＋, without modifying the equipment.

In particular, for out-of-area calls, all groups are divided according to the distance of the call, and are based on the distance-based billing system of the public sector.

The 17-digit phone number memory allows you to store several frequently called destination phone numbers. Reference numeral 18 is a memory for calculating call charges fff, which stores the integrated value of call charges in □.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining the present invention in detail. Initially, the time is displayed during normal times, and if you lift the handset of the telephone and operate the operating section 2 to automatically dial a pre-memorized destination telephone number, the 19th step The 2o step is executed by skipping the judgment routine of whether or not the operating section 2 has human power. In step 20, the destination telephone number is selected from the telephone number memory 17, and the central processing unit 7 takes it out via the data bus 10, and sends it to the dial signal converter 4 in order so that it becomes a specified dial signal.
Output one step to Next, execute 21 steps.

In step 21, the telephone number of the destination to be called is displayed on the display section 1 while being shifted in sequence. Execute the next 22 steps. Step 22: When the input signal from the TH signal detection unit 5 is checked and the handset is put down in the middle of dialing, step 23 is executed. Step 26 performs processing to stop outputting the dial signal, sets 1 to display the time on display section 1, and then returns to the initial state in step 19.

If the transmitter/receiver 2g is not placed, the first 24 steps are executed. In step 24, timer processing for outputting a specified signal to the dial signal exchange section 4 is performed. 25
In step 1, determine whether all destination phone numbers have been output. So, if it is not output, 20, 2+, 22
．． 24. Repeat each step of 25. When all destination phone numbers are output, 26 steps are executed. 26
In the step, a response signal from the destination is monitored via the signal detection section 5, and if a signal is detected, 27 steps are executed. 27
The display lamp 3 is turned on to indicate that a call is in progress, and in the first 28 steps, the area code of the calling telephone set in the setting section 8 is read, and in the first 29 steps, the coordinate table 14 is read. Corresponds to the calling area code read in 28 steps 1. At the same time, the corresponding adjacent station number is read from the adjacent station number table 150. Execute the next VC50 step. 60
In step 20, it is checked whether the first digit of the destination telephone number called is 0 or not, and if it is not O, it is determined that the call is within the area. If it is 0, read it in step 29 and see if it matches the adjacent station number. If they match, it is determined that the call is in an adjacent area.

If they do not match, coordinate data corresponding to the destination area code is read from the coordinate table 14. 31 steps, 32 steps for calls within the ward based on the results determined in 30 steps
The steps are branched such that 33 steps are executed for a call in an adjacent area, and 64 steps are executed for a call outside one area. 32 steps support calls within the area 1. single f1
The call time per γ charge is read from the charge table 16. In step 63, the call time corresponding to the unit charge corresponding to the adjacent area call is read from the charge table 16. The 64 steps calculate the distance between two points from the coordinate data of the source and destination stations, and the unit corresponding to the distance value found in the first 65 steps is calculated as the call time equivalent to 1 gold charge table 1.
Read from 6. In step 36, the call time is counted, and in step 37, the call charge is calculated by multiplying the call time and the call time per unit charge by the unit f↓money, and the call charge per unit *4 money is displayed on the display section 1. In step 38, it is detected via the signal detection section 5 whether the call has ended or not, and if the call has not ended, steps 56, 37, and 38 are executed again. When the call ends, the next 59 steps are executed. 6
In step 9, the display lamp 3 is turned off. Next, in step 40, a timer is started to display the calculation result of the call charge for a certain period of time so that the user can check it after the call ends, and after the time is up, the timer returns to the time display. Returns to the state of waiting for operation input.

Note that if the area code of the adjacent area corresponding to the central station to which this device is installed can be set in the setting section 8, the adjacent area code table is not particularly necessary, and the area code of the adjacent area corresponding to the central station to which this device is installed can be set. By checking whether the area code of the called telephone number matches the area code of the adjacent area set in the setting section 8, it can be determined whether the call is in an adjacent area. By doing so, the user will have to look up and input the area code corresponding to the adjacent area, but the memory capacity of the storage device 11 can be significantly reduced.

There is an advantage in reducing costs A: by doing so.

As described above, according to the present invention, the area code of the place where the telephone set the automatic dialing device with money imprinting is located,
If you set the corresponding area code of the adjacent area, the call time per medium charge that varies depending on the destination will be automatically calculated.1
By being able to know call charges, unnecessary long calls can be reduced, and no matter where in the country an automatic dialing device with 9 toll rates is installed, it is possible to set the area code and neighboring area code. Since it can be used easily, there is no need to replace or adjust a single part. Therefore, no extra burden is placed on the user. In addition, since the telephone number of the called party is automatically converted into a dial signal and the original data is used to calculate the charge, it is completely unaffected by noise on the telephone line, making it extremely reliable. We can provide an automatic dialing device with a high price meter.
