Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain a calling in response to a communication network automatically at a prescribed time by using different calling operations automatically by an automatic dialing means in response to a communication network when a preset time comes. CONSTITUTION:When the one-touch dial key of an operation section 2 is depressed, a main control section 1 discriminates whether the flag of a memory 8 is 0 or 1, and when a '0' dial flag 8a is 1, '0' is sent to a line 6 via a communication control section 4 and after 0 pause, the telephone number registered in a telephone number registration memory 3 and corresponding to depressed keys of the operation section 2 is sent as a selection signal. When the flag is 0, the sending of '0' and 0 pause are not conducted but the telephone number is sent. A '0' dial transition time TINT (8b) and a '0' dial end time TEXT (8c) are stored in a timer control memory 8, flags 1, 0 are set respectively through the operation section 2 and '0' dial (extension) and non '0' dial (external direct line) are controlled automatically through the operation display section 2.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a communication device, and more particularly to a communication device connectable to a plurality of communication networks.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in this type of device, for example, a facsimile machine, a plurality of telephone numbers are registered in advance in a memory, and the registered telephone number is called by key operation and a selection signal is automatically sent. 0 where the calling device is known
Normally, telephone numbers may or may not be prefixed with an O number to distinguish between those within 4 and those outside 4, and for extensions, a 0 pause is added at the beginning to indicate an O call. ,
Also, the same phone number is selected without adding a 0 number for an outside line. Therefore, for example, in order to make an O call for an extension, a 0 pause is added to the beginning and registered in the memory.

With such conventional devices, the numbers or codes corresponding to the telephone number registered in the memory are read out and sent as a selection signal, so the telephone does not connect directly to outside lines at night.
If you are connected to an extension line during the day, for example, a number registered with O Bose prefixed to make an O call cannot be used at night when it is a direct line to an outside line; There is a problem in that a phone with only the destination phone number registered cannot be used during the day when the phone number is an extension. For this reason, for the destinations to which you want to make day and night calls, you will have to register two types of destinations: one with O-Bose added and one without O-Bose, which causes the problem that the registration memory cannot be used effectively. there were.

[Objective] An object of the present invention is to provide a communication device that eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional example mentioned above and that automatically performs a calling operation according to the communication network at a predetermined time.

[Example] An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of a facsimile machine according to an embodiment of the present invention as a block diagram. In the figure, the reference numeral 1 indicates a main control section composed of a CPU, etc. l has an operation display section 2. Telephone number registration memory 39 Communication control unit 4. A timer 7 and a timer control memory 8 are connected. The operation display unit 2 is composed of a keyboard, a display, etc., and allows various inputs to be made by operating keys arranged on the keyboard, for example. In addition, a plurality of telephone numbers are registered in the telephone number registration memory 3, and a predetermined telephone number can be called up by the operation display section 2 via the main control section l, and a selection signal can be automatically sent using that number. It is something. The communication control section 4 controls the capture of selected signals and lines, and performs facsimile communication. Reference numeral 5 indicates a telephone set, 6 indicates a line, and a timer 7 connected to the main control section 1 is a clock controlled according to information stored in a timer control memory.

The timer control memory 8, as shown in FIG.
It is composed of an O transmission flag 8a, a memory section 8b that stores the 0 transmission time (TINT), and a memory section 8c that stores the 0 transmission end time (Tεxt). These times T
rNTITEXT can be set in advance via the operation unit 2, respectively.

Next, the operation of the device configured in this way is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
This will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in the figure.

First, when the one-touch dial key on the operation section 2 is pressed, the main control section 1 detects this and sends out a selection signal according to the procedure shown in FIG. That is, 0 transmission flag 8 in memory 8
It is determined whether the flag F set in a is 0 or 1 (step 531). If the 0 transmission flag F is 1, rQJ is sent onto the line 6 via the communication control unit 4. Step 532
), and after taking the O pose in step S32', in step S33, the telephone number registered in the telephone number registration memory 3 and corresponding to the pressed key of the operating section 2 is sent out as a selection signal. On the other hand, if the flag F is 0 in step S31, the process moves to step 533 without sending out "0" or performing O-bose.

FIG. 4 is a control flowchart for turning on and off the 0 transmission flag F for operating the timer 7, and this routine is an interrupt routine that is activated once every unit time (for example, 1 minute) of TIN, TExT. be. In step 341, the current time T is set, and then in step S42, it is determined whether the current time has reached the O transmission transition time Tl~T stored in the memory 8b, and if so, in step S43 Outgoing flag F
is set to 1, and time T is set to 1 in step S44.
If the O transmission end time TEXT stored in C is reached, the flag Ft-O is set in step 345.

In this way, it becomes possible to control O transmission or non-0 transmission based on the information of the 0 transmission flag F.

In the embodiment described above, 0 Bose is placed after 0 transmission, but instead, the selection signal shown in step S33 may be sent after confirming the transmission tone.

Further, in addition to one-touch dialing and abbreviated dialing, when directly dialing using the ten keys on the operation display section 2, it is also possible to distinguish between 0 calls and non-O calls by distinguishing between internal and external lines.

Alternatively, a three-way switch may be provided to select three modes: timer enabled, always 0 transmission, and always non-0 transmission.

Further, the present embodiment is not limited to facsimile machines, and can of course be applied to any communication device that can be connected to a plurality of communication networks.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, when a preset time comes, the calling operation by the automatic calling means is automatically changed depending on the communication network, so that the operator's operations are simplified. It is simple and the storage memory for storing the communication destination identification code for automatic calling can be used effectively.
