[Function] According to the present invention, when a communication destination name and a communication destination identification code are associated in advance and registered in multiple locations, and a communication operation is performed with the communication destination, the communication destination name and communication destination identification code are registered in advance, and the communication destination identification code is not used. By inputting the name of , you can connect the line to the communication destination.

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a communication device of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a main CPU that controls the entire dial signal sending device, and is operated by software stored in a ROM 4.
, nonvolatile RAM 5, operation section 7, display section 8, communication section 9, and handset 6.

The dial sending unit 2 is connected to the telephone line 3, and can output numbers 0 to 9 in a push button method or a dial pulse method based on data from the main CP. Here, it is assumed that switching between both types can be performed by a selection signal from the main CP.The non-volatile RAM 5 stores data that should be saved even when the system power is cut off. In this embodiment, its main function is to store the name of the telephone destination and the corresponding telephone number.

Next, the handset 6 has the function of transmitting the voice from the telephone line 3 through the dial transmitter 2 by hooking up, and the function of transmitting the voice in the opposite direction.

The operation unit 7 includes, for example, a numeric keypad 1 as shown in FIG.
The main CPU 1 constantly monitors the status of the main CPU 1. 1B is an LED indicating the operating state of the registration key 14. The 0 display section 8 can be an LCD having display digits of 16 characters, and displays characters as necessary under the control of the main GPUI.

The communication unit 9 is for performing predetermined communication operations, such as image communication and data communication.

Next, various control procedures of the main CPUI in this embodiment will be explained. First of all, let's talk about the third part about data registration.
This will be explained with reference to the figures and FIG.

Register the phone name and the corresponding phone number 1 Table 1
．． \1+To1 PuI↓ Seven Gi 竺9M; Haha Y If you also press +A, it will become registration mode. At this time, in step St shown in FIG.
1B lights up to indicate that it is in registration mode.

Next, in step S2, it is determined whether or not the X key on the numeric keypad 11 has been pressed. Here, if the ward key is pressed, the process proceeds to step S3, where it is confirmed that two digit numbers from 01 to 50 have been pressed consecutively, and then the key o is pressed as shown in FIG. , group, tp is pressed, address 1000 becomes the first address of the name register and 1 is pressed, as shown in Figure 3.
Address 01O becomes the first address of the telephone number register.

Here, each register is, respectively! A 6-byte register is allocated, and 16 bytes are allocated as a storage area from the tudanguchi to Xl group, and in the next step S4, the pressed key human power
~The first address of the name register corresponding to the section group is set to address A, and the first address of the telephone number register is set to address B, and the next step S5 is 16 from addresses A and B.
, wait until the registration key 14 is pressed, and then press the registration key! If 4 is pressed, the next telephone light name registration will be performed.

Next, the process proceeds to step SB, where it is determined whether any key has been pressed. If a key has been pressed, the process proceeds to the next step S7. If the key is other than the registered key 14, the process proceeds to step S8, and from address A The code shown in FIG. 5 is sequentially stored and sequentially displayed.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S7 that the registration key 14 has been pressed, the process moves to step S10, where the telephone number registration mode is entered and "2" is set to the next digit position of the last part of the display up to that point. to be displayed.

Next, when it is determined in step Sll that any key has been pressed, it is determined in the next step S12 whether or not the pressed key is the registration key 14. Here, if the registration key is other than 14, proceed to the next step S.
15, the key force of the pressed keys is stored and displayed sequentially from address B in the code shown in FIG.

Next, the process advances to step S14, where the B address is incremented by one, and then the process returns to step Sll, where the next key power is determined again.

If the registration key 14 is pressed in step S12, the process moves to step S15, where: For example, the process proceeds to the next step S16, where the entire display is cleared and exits from the registration mode.

Next, the above-mentioned registration example is shown in FIG. 6. In this case, the user enters *oi-*s as in the example shown in FIG.

Up to 50 telephone names and corresponding telephone numbers can be registered.
This will be explained with reference to the figures. First, when the power is turned on, O is put in the address pointer n of the 1 call register in step S1H. Furthermore, the first address of the name register is set to address C, the first address of the telephone number register is set to address D, and OO is entered into 16 bytes from addresses C and D.

In the next step 9102, it is determined whether any key has been pressed and waits for a key press. If any key has been pressed, the process proceeds to step 5103, where:
It is determined whether the pressed key is the registration key 14 or not. If it is a registration key, the system enters the registration mode and proceeds to its subroutine, resulting in the flow shown in FIG. 4.

On the other hand, if it is not the registration key 14, the process moves to step 5104, and it is determined whether the pressed key is the call key 13 or not. Here, if the call key is 13, go to step 5108, and if the call key is not 13, step 51
Proceed to 05.

In step 9105, only if n-=o, is the numeric keypad 11 or the 50-tone key 12?
If the numeric keypad is 11, step 51
If the key is 50-tone key 12, the process advances to step 5106.

When n=o, the process always advances to step 810B.

In step 5106, the fifth key corresponding to the pressed key is
The JIS code shown in the figure is stored at address c+n, and the pointer n is incremented by one, and the process returns to step 5102 to wait for a key press again.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step 5104 that it is the calling key 13 and the process moves to step 8108, in this step 8108, the contents of 16 bytes from address C and x0
The contents of each name register 1 to x50 are compared.

Furthermore, in the next step 5IO11, it is determined whether there is a matching register. Here, if there is a matching register, the process advances to step 5110, where the registered telephone number paired with the matching name is displayed, and the dial sending section sends out a selection signal (dial signal). Return to step 5IOI.

On the other hand, if there is no matching register in step 5109, the process advances to step 5111, where "Gaitousuru Meisho Nashi" is displayed for 2 seconds, and step 5
Return to lot.

Furthermore, in step 5105, the JIS code corresponding to the pressed numeric keypad 11 is determined in step 5105. is stored at address D+n and displayed on the display section 8 such as an LCD with right alignment. Next, in step 5113, the address pointer n of the calling register is +1.
Then, the process proceeds to step 5114.

This step 5114 waits for any key to be pressed, and when any key is pressed, the first step 5 is executed.
At step 115, it is determined whether or not the pressed key is the call key 13. If it is the call key 13, step 51 is performed.
17, where the telephone number corresponding to the data stored at address D is dialed.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 5117 that the key is not the call key 13, the process proceeds to step St 1B, where it is determined whether the pressed key is the numeric keypad 11, and if it is not the numeric keypad 11, it is not accepted and the process proceeds to step 5114. return.

On the other hand, when the numeric keypad 11 is pressed, step 5
Proceed to 112 and select JI corresponding to the pressed numeric keypad 11.
The S code is stored at address D+n and displayed on the display section 8 with right alignment. Repeat these steps.

In return, the telephone number is registered until the call key 13 is pressed.

As explained above, in the present invention, by registering the name and telephone number of the telephone destination in advance, dialing can be performed by pressing the name of the telephone destination and then pressing the call key 13.

Note that in the above example, the name was registered using the Japanese syllabary key, but such registration is performed using the alphabetical key.

This can be done using various types of character keys such as Arabic character keys and Ongle character keys.In this case, the number of keys can be reduced, and it can also be used in other countries where various character types such as alphabet keys are used. can.

This embodiment can be effectively used in communication devices such as facsimile machines, telephones, and telex machines.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, when a communication destination name and a communication destination identification code are associated in advance and registered in multiple locations, and a communication operation is performed with the communication destination, the communication destination identification code is registered in multiple locations. Since the communication line can be connected to the communication destination by inputting the communication destination name instead of the identification code, various effects as listed below can be achieved.

(1) Even if you do not remember the communication destination identification code, you can communicate as long as you know the name of one communication destination.

(2) The communication destination identification code can be sent to the communication line using a name that is easier to remember than the communication destination identification code.

(3) If the name has fewer digits than the communication destination identification code, less input data is required.

(4) When inputting a name than when inputting a communication destination identification code, the line is less likely to be connected to another communication destination by mistake.
