Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the telephone number data registration of a destination station and to prevent erroneous registration, by comparing toll number data stored in two memories with each other, and extracting a desired telephone number data on the basis of the comparison result. CONSTITUTION:When an operator presses an abbreviated dialing switch K1, its switch data is sent out to an address generating circuit 5 and detection data on the operation of the switch K1 is sent out to a control circuit 10. The circuit 5 sends out an address signal to a memory 6 on the basis of the inputted switch data. The circuit 10 reads telephone number data stored in a specified address of the memory 6. Then, toll number data on the own station stored in a memory 7 is compared with the toll number data in telephone data read out of the memory 6. When the both coincide with each other, the circuit 10 transfers only the read exchange code data to a selection signal sending circuit 9. When they do not coincide, on the other hand, the circuit 10 sends the toll number data and the exchange code data to the circuit 9.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a dial device used in a device that performs communication using a line, such as a facsimile device.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

Conventionally, this type of dialing device has a manual dialing function that converts telephone number data obtained from a dial keypad into a selection signal and sends it to the line, and in addition to this manual function, it also has a separate dialing function, for example. Some devices have an abbreviated dialing function that converts the telephone No. 1v data previously registered in the memory into a reading selection signal and sends it to the line by operating a specific switch (abbreviated dialing switch).

However, this speed dialing function in conventional dialing devices uses the pre-registered telephone number data of the destination station when the area code of the destination station is the same as the area code of the own station. It was necessary to include only local number data, and in case of discrepancies, it was necessary to include area code data and local number data. That is, only the local number is required for destination stations with the same area code, and the area code is required in addition to the local number for destination stations with different area codes. Therefore, for each closed number area where a dialing device is installed, area code data in the telephone number data of the destination station to be registered may or may not be necessary, so registering this telephone number data is troublesome. There were also registration errors.

In addition, when applying a dialing device such as a facsimile communication system in which multiple facsimile devices store telephone number data in the same #, telephone number data that must be registered for each installation area of each facsimile device is required. Since the numbers are different, it was not possible to use a memory in which common telephone number data was registered.

[Purpose of the Invention The present invention has been made by paying attention to the above-mentioned circumstances, and provides a dialing system that allows easy registration of telephone number data and also allows use of a memory in which common telephone number data is registered. The purpose is to provide equipment.

[Summary of the invention]

Therefore, the present invention stores the telephone number data of a plurality of destination stations in which identification data is interposed between the area code data and the local number data in a first memory, and stores the area code data of the own station in a second memory. The area code data stored in the second memory is compared with the area code data of the first phone number data stored in the first memory identified by the identification data, and based on the comparison result. The above objective is achieved by extracting desired telephone number data based on the above information.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention commonly used in facsimile machines, in which 1 is an operation knob (flank section), 2 is a dial keypad, Kl~, 4 is a speed dial switch, L
1 to L4 are light emitting diodes (LEDs) corresponding to 1 to 4 for each speed dial switch, respectively. In addition, in the same 1, 3 is a register that temporarily stores the data sent from the dial keypad 2, and 4 is a register that sends switch data 1 to 4 to the operated abbreviated dial switch, and 1 each abbreviation that is operated. Dial switch K1~K4
5 is a switch drive circuit that flashes LEDs L1 to L4 corresponding to
6 is an address generation circuit that sends out a signal, 8 is a hook switch, 9 is a selection signal sending circuit that sends a selection signal to a line, 1
0 is a control circuit.

Note that the memory 6 stores telephone number data of special destination stations set and registered in advance, and this telephone number data is divided into area code data A and local number data B as shown in FIG. This data is in a form in which identification data M is interposed between them. The memory 7 also stores the area code data of the local station.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained while explaining the operation of the control circuit 10.

First, consider manual dial operation. first,
When the operator picks up the handset and goes off-hook, for example, off-hook data is input from the hook switch 8 to the control circuit 10, and the control circuit 10 becomes operational. Next, when the dial keypad 2 is operated, the telephone number data of the destination station is stored in the register 3. Control circuit 10
transfers the stored telephone number data to the read selection signal output path 9. The selection signal sending circuit 9 sends a predetermined selection signal to the line based on this telephone number data,
Manual dial operation ends.

Second, consider speed dial operations. First, when off-hook data is input from the hook switch 8 to the control circuit 10 in the same way as with manual dial operation, the control circuit 10 becomes operational. Here, for example, assume that the operator presses 1 on the speed dial switch. Then, switch data of 1 is sent to the speed dial switch from the switch drive circuit 4 to the address generation circuit 5, and detection data indicating that 4 is operated on the speed dial switch Kl~ is sent to the switch drive circuit 4. From the control circuit 10
will be sent to.

Also, at this time, the switch drive circuit 4 lights up LBDLl corresponding to 1 on the speed dial switch. Address generation circuit 5 sends out an address signal to memory 6 based on switch data input 1-. If this memory 6 stores predetermined telephone number data at a predetermined address as described above and as shown in FIG. be done. The control circuit 10 detects that a speed dial operation has been performed by inputting the detection data from the switch drive circuit 4 7, and inputs the telephone number data "03" stored at the designated address (address 10) in the memory 6. rice 9991111
Read J. Then, the area code data of the own station stored in the memory 7 is read out, and this area code data is compared with the area code data A in the telephone number data read out 7 from the memory 6. Detection of area code data is performed based on determination of identification data M. Here, assuming that the dial device according to this embodiment is installed within the 23 wards of Tokyo, the area code data "03" is stored in the memory 7. Therefore, the above comparison result I is a match, and the control circuit 1 old design is read and the local number data B [9991111 after the identification data M "US"
Only J is transferred to the selection signal sending circuit 9. The selection number 43 sending circuit 9 sends out a predetermined selection signal 1 to the line based on this data, and the abbreviated dialing operation is completed.

By the way, for example, when 2 is operated on the speed dial switch, the control circuit 10 reads out the telephone number data [06 to 3337777J] stored in the memory address 6020. Then, the area code data are compared as described above.

However, in this case, since the area code data is different, the telephone number data read from the control circuit 10f memory 6 excluding the identification data M [o633377
77J is transferred to route 9. The selection signal sending circuit 9 sends out a selection signal based on this data,
゛゛〔Speed dial operation ends.

Incidentally, the storage of the local station's snoring data or the destination station's telephone number data may be performed based on the operation of the hook switch 8 and the dial keypad 2, or may be stored in advance by the IL OM
You can also write in it using a writer, etc. Further, in this embodiment, it is provided separately.

Although 1 to 1 (4) are used on the speed dial switch to perform the speed dial operation, the dial key pad 2 may also be used.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, there is no need to judge whether or not to register an area code, making it easier to register the telephone number data of the destination station, and reducing erroneous registration. Furthermore, if the present invention is applied to a system such as a facsimile communication system in which telephone number data of a common destination station is registered in each dialing device, a memory in which common telephone number data is registered is used. (Registration settings also become easier and more convenient.)
