Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the operability by providing input keys of alphanumeric and special symbol and a memory function to eliminate the need for a collation table, thereby having only to input an abbreviation of a destination for the dialing of a telephone number. CONSTITUTION:In the registration mode, a key * of a key section 2 is depressed and the abbreviation of a destination is inputted in an alphanumeric letter from a key section 3. A key = is inputted succeedingly and a telephone number is inputted by a numeral. After an input data is set in an input key control section 5, the abbreviation and the telephone number are stored in a prescribed area of a memory section 7 by a control section 6. When *s are inputted succeedingly, the registration is finished. In the dial mode, a key * of the key section 2 is inputted and after the abbreviation is inputted from the key section 3, a key - of the key section 2 is inputted. Thus, the control section 6 references a data set by the control section 5, the key judges the oscillation mode and the telephone number corresponding to the data inputted between the keys * and - is searched out from the memory section 7 and the result is set to a dial section 8, which sends the set telephone number.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to telephones, and more particularly to memory capacity for calling telephone numbers.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional telephones with a memory function, a telephone number for outgoing calls is registered in the telephone, and when calling the other party, the telephone number is called by pressing the corresponding number.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

With conventional memory-equipped telephones, dialing a registered telephone number was possible by pressing the corresponding number each time. For this reason, it was necessary to create a correspondence table between telephone numbers and numbers, or to have the caller completely memorize the correspondence between telephone numbers and numbers. If there are many registrations,
It took time and effort to find the number that corresponded to the name of the other party in the correspondence table, which was inconvenient in use. In addition, since it only corresponds to numbers, there is a lack of intimacy, and even if the caller memorizes the corresponding numbers, there is a high risk of memorizing them incorrectly.

An object of the present invention is to provide a telephone that solves the above-mentioned problems.

[Means for solving problems]

The telephone set of the present invention includes an input keying section having input keys for alphanumeric characters and special characters, an input keying control section for setting data input from the input keying section, and an input keying control section that sets data input from the input keying section. a memory control section that refers to the input data and determines whether the current input is a normal call mode, a telephone number registration mode, or a registered number call mode; The present invention includes a memory section that stores the set telephone number and the corresponding alphabetical abbreviation, and a transmitting section that transmits the telephone number set from the input keystroke control section or the memory section via the memory control section.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is an external view of a telephone according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the telephone body 1 includes numbers and special symbols '°*'',
This is an example in which a keypad 2 that can input ".V" and a keypad 3 that can input alphabetic characters and the special symbol "=" are integrated.

FIG. 2 shows a block diagram showing the functions of this telephone. This telephone includes an input keystroke section 4 corresponding to the keystroke sections 2 and 3 in FIG. The memory controller 6 refers to the data and determines whether the current input is a normal call mode, a telephone number registration mode, or a registered number call mode. It has a transmitting section 8 that transmits the set telephone number to the line.

The operation of this embodiment will be explained below.

When registering a calling number, the operator presses the key "*" on the keypad 2, and then inputs the abbreviation of the other party using alphanumeric characters. For example, in the case of NEC Fuchu Plant, the keys 3 are "N", "E", and "C".

Just enter “F”. Next, press the key “-” on the keypad section.
, and then input the corresponding telephone number from the keypad 2. For example, "0", "4".

“2”, “3”, “6”, “4”, l”, “1”, “1”
"2" Enter "1". If you want to continue to register another phone number, enter the key "*" on keypad 2 and repeat the same operation. To finish registering the phone number, press the After entering the number, enter "*" on the keypad 2 twice.

In this case, the data input from the input keystroke units 2 and 3 are set in the input keystroke control unit 5. The memory control unit 6 refers to the data set in the input keystroke control unit 5, and since “*” is entered first, it determines that the data following “*” is the abbreviation of the destination, and sequentially stores the data in the memory unit 7. Store it. If "=" is input, it is determined that it is the registration mode, and the next input data is regarded as the telephone number of the other party, and is sequentially stored in the memory section 7. Next, when "*" is input, it is determined that the registration of the next telephone number has started, and the abbreviation and telephone number of the other party previously stored in the memory section 7 are stored in a separate area of the memory section 7. , it will be in a registration waiting state. If "*" is input twice in succession, the memory control unit 6 determines that the registration is complete.

When the operator makes a call based on the registration number, he inputs "*" on the keypad 2, and then inputs the abbreviation of the other party using the keypad 3. For example, "N", "P", "C" from the keystroke section 3.
, enter “F”. Thereafter, when "A." is input on the keypad 2, the corresponding telephone number will be called.

In this case, the data input from the input keystroke units 2 and 3 are set in the input keystroke control unit 5. The memory control unit 6 refers to the data set in the input keystroke control unit 5 and
” is input, it is determined that it is the transmission mode, and “*” and “7V
The telephone number corresponding to the data input during " is searched from the memory section 7 and set in the transmitting section 8. The transmitting section 8 transmits the set telephone number.

When the operator makes a normal call, when the operator inputs the telephone number of the other party using the keypad 2, the input telephone number is used to make a call.

In this case, the data input from the input keystroke section 2 is set in the input keystroke control section 5. The memory control unit 6 refers to the data set in the input keystroke control unit 5, determines that the mode is normal call mode, and sends the telephone number set in the input keystroke control unit 5 via the memory control unit 6. Set it in the transmitter 8 and send it.

In the embodiments described above, the keypad 3 capable of inputting alphabetic characters and special symbols is integrated into the telephone main body l, but the keypad 3 can also be provided externally.

FIG. 3 shows the appearance of a telephone in which input of alphabetic characters is performed using the keypad 9. In this example, the special symbol "P" is provided on the keypad 10 of the telephone body.

The functional block diagram of this embodiment is the same as that shown in FIG. 2, and its operation is also the same as that of the embodiment described above.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention has input keys for alphanumeric characters and special symbols and a memory function, so that dialing a telephone number can be made by simply inputting the abbreviation of the other party's name. This improves operability. Furthermore, since the operator can call the other party's telephone number using the abbreviation normally used, there is no need to create a correspondence table between the name of the other party and the numbers used to call the registered telephone number.
