Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the stop of integration operation and data erasure due to mis-operation of an integration control key by using an integration control means to apply integration control in response to the operation content of an integration control key when the confirmation is applied while guidance information is displayed. CONSTITUTION:When the user operates an integration control key at the standby state of a control circuit 5, the control circuit 5 reads a guidance from a character code memory 10 and displays it on a display device 11. When the user operates a confirmation key within a prescribed time, the circuit 5 turns off the display of the guidance information of the display device 11, transfers the content of the integration memory 7 to erase the content of the memory 7. When the integration control key is operated by the user after erasure, the circuit 5 restarts the count of the talking time and the integration of the talking charge and the state is restored to the initial state.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field of the Invention) The present invention relates to an improvement in a communication device having the ability to screen and hold predetermined management data related to communication operations.

[Technical introduction of defense]

In recent years, many communication devices connected to telephone lines, such as telephones and facsimile machines, are equipped with various service functions such as speed dialing and redialing. Some devices have a function of accumulating communication management data such as 11K gold and outputting it when necessary or periodically.

By using a communication device equipped with this horizontal function, the user can arbitrarily output the above communication management data and immediately use the communication charges for January, for example, and can control communication management independently. It is very useful in carrying out.

[Problems with Seken technology]

However, in general, this type of conventional operation is equipped with a key for integration control in order to centralize the operation, and by simply operating this key, a predetermined (west stop control operation, e.g. ■ Stop of accumulation operation ■ 4) Transferring or erasing suppressed data from other memory l＼■f＾
The structure is such that the sieving operation can be restarted. In this case, (if you accidentally touch the counter key or operate the key mischievously, the integration control operation described in 4-4 will be performed and, for example, the accumulation control operation will be stopped. (This was undesirable because it was easy to cause problems such as blind people groping. Also, in order to make the device smaller, the number of keys was reduced, for example,
Attempts have been made to make it possible to perform all the first works of arithmetic 11il in the above 8 using the Zhou key, but in such cases, even if the key is not touched by mistake or the operation is not performed by mischief, the 11 Since all control operations are performed using the surrounding keys, there is a drawback that inexperienced users are likely to make erroneous operations.

[Purpose of the invention]

This defense is to ensure that if the reconnaissance system key is operated incorrectly, the immediate screen initial operation will not be performed (i), thereby reliably protecting the faulty operation and accumulated data, and thereby preventing the operation from occurring. 11 IQ with a reliable and reliable cost estimation system.
The purpose of this invention is to provide a communication device that can

[Outline of invention]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides Il! A guidance information display screen til1 means is provided for displaying guidance information indicating the control content instructed by the control key i. Guidance information is generated and displayed on the display, and when a confirmation operation is performed with this guidance information displayed, the totalization control means t generates a totalization subsection corresponding to the operation content of the product i restriction key. It's like 17 years old.

(Embodiment of the invention) The present invention will be explained below with reference to an embodiment.
1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a telephone as a communication device, and numeral 1 in the figure indicates a telephone circuit. This telephone circuit 1 is connected to a telephone line 4 via a hook switch 3.

Note that 2 is a handset, which includes a transmitter 2a and a receiver 2b.

By the way, this phone has 1. ) II 1211 circuit 5, and this control circuit 5 includes a timer 6 for measuring call time.
゜Accumulation sieve memory 7 for accumulating and storing call charges calculated based on the call time measurement results, data memory 8, and a numeric keypad and accumulation υ+111 used for dialing operations, etc.
A key power section 9 with keys etc. is connected to each, and a character code memory 10 and a display 11 are also connected. The character code memory 10 generates pre-stored predetermined guidance information in response to the operation of the stacking control key. The display 11 includes, for example, 73 liquid crystal displays, and displays the above-mentioned guidance information such as call time and call charges. Now, the above control circuit 5
For example, since the microcomputer is used as the main control unit, it is difficult to make calls such as making speed dial calls (◆) What are the following control functions?

, the control function is as shown in Figure 2.
They are a 4-karat gold h1 sieve means 51, an I control θ port means 52 for performing predetermined accumulation control according to the operation of the accumulation control key, and guidance display means 53. This guidance display control means 53 generates predetermined guidance information from the character code memory 10 when the loading control key is pressed (Y), and displays this guidance information on the display 11.

Next, the operation of the telephone example configured as described above will be explained according to the 1111311 f-order of the control circuit 5. Incidentally, FIGS. 3+i> and 4 are flowcharts showing the control procedure and control contents.

1. The control circuit 5 sometimes repeatedly monitors the operation of the f**till key and the start of a call in steps 3a and 3b, respectively, as shown in FIG. Te is on.

In this state, for example, when the user makes a call and starts a conversation, the control circuit 5 detects the start of the conversation in step 3b, moves to step 30, and proceeds to step 3C.
to drive Kuimaro and start the call time measurement operation,
In step 3d, the end of the call is monitored. When the user ends the call in this state, the control circuit 5 (and timer 6)
In step 3e, the timekeeping operation is stopped and the timekeeping result in A is introduced. In step 3e, the call charge is calculated based on the timekeeping result, that is, the call time. In step 3f, the initial call charge d-3 and The call times are temporarily stored in the data memory 8, and the call times and call charges are displayed on the display 1 in step 3q. After starting this display, the control circuit 5 monitors the time in step 3h, and after a certain period of time has elapsed, stops displaying the call time and call charge on the display 11 in step 31, and then in step 3j, the control circuit 5 monitors the time and stops displaying the call time and call charge on the display 11 in step 3j. The new call charge is added to the previous integrated data of call charges stored in , and the added integrated data is stored in the integration memory 7 in step 3, and then the initial state is returned.

Now, when the user operates the integration control key in the standby state, the control circuit 5 detects the key operation in step 3a, and thereafter shifts to f#ii control shown in FIG. 4. That is, the control circuit 5 first reads guidance information from the character code memory 10 in step 4a, and displays this guidance information on the display 11 in step 4b. For example, when the loading stop W gear is operated, guidance information such as "Do you want to clear?" is displayed on the display 11. In this state, the control circuit 5 performs step 4C.
At step 4d, the user checks the fI 11ff, and at the same time monitors the operation of the confirmation key (for example, the lock key) at step 4d.

In this state, if the user operates the confirmation key within a certain period of time (for example, 10 seconds), the III i11 circuit 5 at that point turns off the display of guidance information on the display 11 in step 4e, and then in step 4f. Accumulated memory 7
The contents of the integration memory 7 are erased in step 4Q without transferring the contents to the data memory 8. When the user operates the integration control key after this erasure, the control circuit 5
In step 41, the system returns to the mode in which the call time is counted and the call charge is accumulated, and then returns to the initial state. In this way, the accumulated data is erased (cleared).

In the above control, before erasing the integrated data, the data is transferred to the data memory 8 and held therein, but the data may not be transferred if unnecessary.

On the other hand, if the confirmation key is not operated within a certain period of time during the operation monitoring of the FKj key Σ key in steps 4c and 4d, the control circuit 5 determines that the previous operation of the integration control key was an erroneous operation. After making a judgment, the display of guidance information is turned off in step 4j, and then the initial state is returned to without performing the accumulation control.

As described above, in this embodiment, when the integration control key is operated, the W4 calculation ill! Guidance information was displayed on the display 11 prior to execution of IJ work, and when the @ confirmation key was operated in this state, 1f4 arithmetic control was performed. 1. If a control key is touched or if the key is tampered with, immediate integration control will be performed and the resulting data will no longer be erased, making it possible to reliably protect this data. can.

In addition, since operations can be performed simply by pressing a key, the operability can be maintained at a high level.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, if a single key is configured to control integration of multiple scales, preset guidance information may be selected for each type of scale depending on the key operation. It may also be displayed on the display. In this way, the user always performs key operations while visually checking the guidance information displayed on the display, thereby reducing erroneous operations and ensuring reliable operation at all times. Further, in the embodiment described above, the guidance information is displayed in characters, but marks or codes may also be displayed. Further, in the embodiment described above, the confirmation key is provided separately from the integration control key, but the integration control key may also be used.

Further, in the embodiment described above, a case has been described in which a telephone is used as the communication device d, but a facsimile device or other data terminal or the like may be used. In addition, the control procedure and content of the tolerance circuit, the configuration of the display, etc. can be modified in various ways without departing from the gist of the present invention.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As detailed above, according to the present defense, there is provided a guidance information display control means for displaying guidance information indicating the control content instructed by the integration control key, and by this means, when the integration control key is operated. Guidance information indicating the control content is generated and displayed on the display, and with this guidance information displayed, the
