CONSTITUTION:A control circuit 16 makes a call procedure with an exchange through an interface circuit 2 and the exchange sends a dial tone representing the possibility of dial input. The dial tone from the exchange is listened to by the operator through a receiver in a handset 5 via an interface circuit 2, a CODEC 3 and a talking circuit 4. The operator listens to the dial tone and depresses a dial switch 10. When the control circuit 16 detects the depression of the dial switch 10, a PB oscillator 7 is driven to send a key confirmation tone to the operator and a dial signal as a communication control signal is sent to the exchange through the interface circuit 2. The control circuit 16 controls a display device drive circuit 15 to display the number of depressed dial on a display device 14 at the same time.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention transmits a pre-registered telephone number etc. in a telephone. -) This is related to the IJ dial.

(Conventional technology) In recent years, new services using telephones, such as INS
The model system provides a voice storage device, a message delivery service, a message board service, and is also scheduled to provide a teleconferencing service that allows meetings with multiple people over the phone.

These services require a greater number of digits to be entered using dial buttons than in the case of conventional telephone connections only.

For example, in the above-mentioned INS model system, in the broadcast service where one message is delivered as a message to multiple parties, the number of digits on the dial is as shown in Figure 10. The telephone number of the destination is required, and in the case of 5 destinations, it is necessary to enter 60 or more digits. As the number of destinations increases, the number of digits to dial also increases. Similarly, teleconferencing services require inputting a large number of digits.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, when inputting a large number of digits as in the system with the above configuration, not only is it time-consuming to input, but there is also a high possibility that the user will press the wrong button in the middle.

(b) If there is space between the dials, there is a high possibility that the timer between the dial digits of the Sentaya switchboard will disconnect the dials.

In these cases, you will need to dial again.
troublesome. Furthermore, (1) Since the receiving device at the center or exchange side is also held on hold until all dials are received, the holding time becomes long and equipment usage efficiency deteriorates.

There was a drawback.

To alleviate these drawbacks, it is possible to use repertoire dialing or grisset dialing, which can send out pre-stored numbers as dials. However, with conventional Shiiriichi tri-dial and preset dialing, the number of dialed digits that can be stored is 10, or 16 when international dialing is taken into account, because the targets are phone numbers in - number locations.
There is an upper limit on the number of digits, and as shown above, it was not possible to register a large number of digits. Furthermore, even if a new tri-dial or preset dial with a large memory capacity is designed, a memory capacity corresponding to the number of digits is required. In the case of sending, a memory capacity of more than 100 digits is required for one redial.

Therefore, it is difficult to determine the maximum design value of the number of digits, considering new services that are expected to appear in the future, rather than being uneconomical in device design.

Furthermore, in the above-mentioned relay service, there are cases where it is desired to change the destination depending on the content of the message. For example, message A may be sent to a, b, c, d.

If you want to send a message to 5 people e and B to 4 people asf*gyh, you have to re-register a large number of dial numbers each time, which is cumbersome.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems.The invention includes a plurality of key means for specifying an address number for call redial, and a plurality of key means assigned to each of the key means. a memory, a registration key for registering a telephone number and a symbol in the memory, a signal sending circuit for transmitting a signal to an exchange, a registration key means for registering a telephone number and a symbol in the memory, and a registration key for registering a telephone number and a symbol in the memory; In a telephone with a repertoire re-dial function, which is comprised of a control circuit that extracts the contents of the memory and drives the signal sending circuit to send a signal to the exchange when In addition to , it is possible to store multiple address numbers for other repertoire dials.

(Function) In this way, the telephone number at the address number of another repertoire redial can be sent to the exchange as a dial signal in the area of one repertoire redial, so the number of input dials can be reduced and the operation can be simplified. Not only is it easier, there are fewer digits to enter in one repertoire redial, so there is less chance of making a mistake.

Therefore, the above-mentioned problem can be eliminated. (Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration when the present invention is implemented in a digital telephone.

Figure 2 shows the following: 3 is an example of an operation flow regarding a calling operation and a dial-re-dial registration operation of the control circuit 16.

(,) First, the normal calling operation will be explained.

An example of the operation flow of the control circuit 16 in this case is shown in part A of FIG. When the operator raises the handset 5, the hook switch 6 operates to close the subscriber line loop and the exchange operates to start supplying power. Upon this power supply, the station power supply circuit 18 starts its full operation and starts supplying power to each circuit within the digital telephone.

Thereafter, the control circuit 16 performs a calling procedure with the exchange through the interface circuit 2, and the exchange transmits a dial tone indicating that dial input is possible. The dial tone from the exchange is sent to interface circuit 2. The signal is passed through the codec 32 and the communication circuit 4 and is listened to by the operator using the receiver in the handset 5. The operator hears the dial tone and presses the dial switch 10. Control circuit 16
When detecting depression of the dial switch 10, it drives the PB oscillator 7 to send a key confirmation sound to the operator, and also sends a dial signal as a communication control signal to the exchange through the interface circuit 2.

At the same time, the control circuit 16 controls the display drive circuit 15 to display the number on the display 14 in response to the pressed dial. Thereafter, when the called party answers, a response signal is sent from the exchange and the conversation begins. After the call, when the operator goes on-hook, the control circuit 16 performs a disconnection procedure with the exchange, opens the subscriber line loop, and connects the display drive circuit 15.

The contents displayed on the display 14 are erased under control and the display shifts to an empty state.

(b) Next, a normal repertoire redial registration operation will be explained.

An example of the operation flow of the control circuit 16 in this case is shown in part B of FIG. When the telephone is empty, the operator presses the registration key 11.
When is pressed, the control circuit 16 enters the lever redial registration mode 9 and enters the address designation input waiting state. Here, when the operator presses, for example, the repertoire key 1121 to specify an address, the control circuit 16 displays the address number on the display 14.
will be displayed and you will be asked to enter your phone number. Furthermore, when the operator presses the dial switch 10 and inputs the telephone number,
Control circuit 16 displays the telephone number on display 14.

An example of the display at this time is shown in FIG. After inputting the telephone number, when the operator presses the registration key 11 again, the control circuit 16 registers the memory 1 corresponding to the repertoire key 1121.
131 and erases the display 14 to complete the registration operation.

(.) Next, the calling operation using the repertoire re-dial registered by the operation υ) will be explained.

An example of the operation flow of the control circuit 16 in this case is shown in part C of FIG. Similarly to (a), while the operator is off-hook and listening to the dial tone, the operator presses the repertoire key 112. Press . When the control circuit 16 detects that the key 1121 has been pressed, it retrieves the registered telephone number from the memory 113 corresponding to the key 1121 in the operation (b), and turns on the PB oscillator 7. It controls the telephone number to send out a PB tone corresponding to the retrieved telephone number as a confirmation tone, sends it to the exchange as a dial signal, and displays it on the display 14. After that, the other party answers and the call begins.

(d) Next, the operation of registering the address number of another repertoire redial in one repertoire redial according to the present invention will be explained.

Here, the operation of registering repertoire redial for the broadcast service shown in FIG. 10 will be explained as an example.

First, for the sake of explanation, as shown in Figure 4, the number of addresses in Renocuterie is set to 20, and six of these addresses (repertoire addresses 1 to 6) are assigned six telephone numbers according to the procedure described above. It is assumed that the center number and service identification number for the broadcast service are registered at one address (Renote 4+J address 10). These numerical values are set for convenience of explanation, and it is a matter of enthusiasm that they can be set arbitrarily.

From this state, for the three destinations with address numbers 1, 2, and 3,
A case will be described in which the present invention is implemented at address number 8 and a circulation service is provided.

An example of the operation flow of the control circuit 16 in this case is shown in the second diagram.

First, when the operator presses the registration key 11, the control circuit 16 enters the repertoire dial registration mode and waits for an address designation input by the operation (b). Here, the operator selects the memory 813 corresponding to the flat key 8128 by combining the numbers of the e-t+) keys 1, 2, and 3 as described above.
8.Press the repertoire key 8128. The control circuit 16 displays the address number on the display 14,
You will be asked to enter your phone number.

Here, the operator first presses the repertoire key 1121. When the control circuit 16 detects that the repertoire key 1121 has been pressed, it checks the contents of the memory 1131 and examines the number data therein. At this time, memory 1131
If there is an address number X of Renokutori in the data, the memo IJ X 13X corresponding to that address number
Investigate the contents of Furthermore, when this is repeated, make sure that the search for the address number does not result in repeated searches. This operation can be performed, for example, as shown in FIG.
#-)' Repertoire address 19 is at IJ address 18,
Lever) If repertoire address 18 is registered in IJ address 19, memory 181318 and memo! This is to prevent the control circuit 16 from operating abnormally if the search for J 1913,9 is carried out repeatedly. Due to this operation, the memory 113
After checking the contents of 112.1 and confirming that it is not an obvious result, the control circuit 16 displays the repertoire key 112.1 on the display 14. For example, r Rol J is displayed to confirm that the button has been pressed. An example of this display is shown in FIG.

Next, when the operator inputs "*" as a telephone number delimiter, the control circuit 16 displays this. Next, the operator selects the next partner's i<? -) When the IJ key 2122 is pressed, the control circuit 16 checks the contents of the memory 2132 in the same manner as described above, and displays l'-RO2J on the display 14.

Next, when the operator inputs "*" as a delimiter for telephone numbers, the control circuit 16 displays this. Next, the operator presses the reno key 3123 as the other party. Note the control circuit 1B as described above! 73133
Check the contents and display r RO3J on the display 14. Thereafter, when the operator inputs "≠" as the termination code, the control circuit 16 displays this on the display 14. An example of the display at this time is shown in FIG. After completing the heart redial registration as described above, when the operator presses the registration key 11, the control circuit 16 registers [RO1*RO2*RO3≠] shown above in the memory 8138, and ends the registration operation. . With the above operations, the number of the other party in the relay service can be registered at the remote address 8.

As a result, as a second or first tri-dial for requesting a broadcast service, if you combine address 10 of the repertoire address that you registered earlier and address 8 of the repertoire address that registered the recipients of the broadcast all at once, that is, If the repertoire dialing operation described in , (c) is pressed, the dial key 1012 or the button 8128 can be used to send a repertoire dial using the dialing procedure described later. Now, to further simplify the revertori transmission,
If you register address 10 and repertoire address 80 to another repertoire address, for example address 9, you will receive one i'? -) All signals can be sent by pressing the key again. In this case as well, if you press the registration key 11, then the repertoire key 9127, the repertoire key 10121 or the repertoire key 8128, and the registration key 11 in this order, the control circuit 16 will operate the memory 10I3 and the memory 8 as described above.
The contents of 128 are investigated, and after confirming that it does not become a nuisance, it is registered in the memory 9139. Memory 1 at this time
FIG. 8 shows the retracted state of lever redials 31 to 13n.

Through the above operations, the center number, service identification number, and three destinations of the circular can be registered at address 9 in the repertoire at once.

Note that in the above description, the control circuit 16 is connected to the memory 113.
1. As a result of investigating memory 2132 and memory 3133,
If there is something in there that would cause a false alarm, the operator is notified of the abnormality by not displaying a confirmation message when the repertoire key is pressed.

Furthermore, if the delivery light is different, delivery to any destination is possible by registering at another address in the same way as address 8.

(e) Next, the operation of making a call using the repertoire dial registered by the operation of (d) will be explained.

An example of the operation flow of the control circuit 16 in this case is shown in part E of FIG. Similarly to (,), when the operator is off-hook and listening to the dial tone, the operator's control key 9I2. Press . Control circuit Z 6 Hareno'-)
! J key 912. When it is detected that the key 912. is pressed, the key 912. Compatible with Surumemo I7913. The number registered in step (d) is extracted from the step (d). here,
The control circuit 16 checks the retrieved number and determines that the first number is "R".
, it detects that it is repertoire key information, checks the next two digits, and since it is "10", extracts the contents of 0131o, displays its contents r18214J on the display 14, and outputs the PB oscillator. 7 to send out the PB tone and also send it to the exchange as a dial signal. Furthermore, since the next three digits are rRO8J, memory 813
Take out Cheetara from 8, content power r RO1*RO2*
RO3 is detected. Therefore, the control circuit 16
Since the first three digits are V ROI J, data is further retrieved from the memory 113. The contents of the memory 1131 are r035091111J, and since "R" is not included, the PB oscillator 7 is controlled to send out the PB sound,
It is sent to the exchange as a dial signal, and the display 1
Display on 4. This operation completes the operation for the first three digits of memory 8138. Since the next data in the memory 8138 is "*", it controls the PB oscillator 7 to send out a PB tone, sends it to the exchange as a dial signal, and displays it on the display 14. Continue this action (r
RO2*RO3≠” operates in the same way, and the repertoire key 912. Terminates the outgoing call operation.

Through the above operations, the center number, service identification number, and three destination numbers are sent to the center, and the service provided by the voice storage device can be received.

In the above example, the repertoire redial fits within the 16-digit repertoire area, but if it does not fit within the 16-digit range, for example, even if the recipient of the call is 10th, the 9th
As shown in the figure, by combining them, it is possible to register in the same way without increasing the memory capacity.

In the present invention, an example in which the present invention is applied to a digital telephone has been shown as an embodiment, but it is a matter of enthusiasm that the present invention can be similarly implemented in an analog telephone.

(Effect of the invention) As explained in detail above, according to the present invention, one
4') Multiple address numbers for other repertoire redials can be registered in the redial area, and when selected when making a call, the telephone number at the corresponding address number can be sent to the exchange as a dial signal, so (a) Input The number of dials to be dialed is small, and the operation is simple. (For example, when sending to 5 destinations as a broadcast service as shown in Fig.
(a) Since there are fewer digits to enter in one repertoire redial, there is less chance of making a mistake.

(1) Since all dialing during outgoing calls is sent by the control circuit, even if there are many digits, the dialing is completed quickly, increasing the efficiency of switching equipment usage.

(1) Since the number of digits to be input is small, it is easy to change the transmitted light.

(E) Since there are fewer numbers or symbols displayed for input confirmation during registration, it is easier to see when displayed on a display than the conventional method of listing numbers.

(Power) Dial input can be done with the telephone empty rather than a dialing operation, so there is no need to be aware of the dial digit timer in the exchange, and furthermore, the possibility of erroneous input is reduced because it can be done slowly.

There is an effect.
