Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a dial signal sending system.

(Prior art) Generally, in order to connect to the other party from a telephone through a switchboard, after making one call, the telephone number is dialed by operating a rotary dial or push-button dial provided on the telephone. . The telephone sends Jin's telephone number to the exchange as a dial signal according to a prescribed signaling system. Also, even if you have a recent phone number stored in your phone,
Once a telephone number is memorized by operating a dial provided on the telephone, the desired telephone number is read out from the memory and sent as a dial signal.

Therefore, in order to make a phone call, the user must operate the dial using something he or she has already heard, the telephone directory, or a business card received from the other party.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, it is not uncommon for people to hand over their business cards to convey their phone number to the other party, and it is also not uncommon for people to make phone calls after seeing their business cards. In this case, dialing is done while looking at the written telephone number, which is inconvenient in that it is complicated and sometimes dials may be made by mistake.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned inconvenience, to use a magnetic card that can be used as a business card, on which a name etc. is written and a telephone number etc. magnetically stored, and to provide a telephone with a reading mechanism for this magnetic card. To provide a dialing signal sending system which can also send a dialing signal without having to perform a dialing operation for each digit of a telephone number.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention dials using a business card-type magnetic card on which at least a name is displayed and at least a telephone number is magnetically stored, and this magnetic card is created by the person whose name is displayed. It could be something you handed over to someone else, or something you wrote the other person's name on and magnetically recorded the other person's phone number.

The telephone has a reading mechanism for this magnetic card, a display that displays the telephone number etc. read by the reading mechanism, and a dial sending button that confirms the area code of the read nine telephone numbers and sends out the necessary dial signal. The system has a sending circuit, which allows the phone to read the other party's telephone number using a magnetic card, confirms it on the display, and then sends out a dial signal by operating a sending button. Note that the telephone may also be equipped with a conventional dialing mechanism.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 (- and Figure 1 tB) is an external view of an example of a magnetic card used in the present invention.
represents the back side. The front of this card has the name, affiliation, telephone number, etc. written on it, just like a normal business card. The back of the card has magnetic printing in a predetermined position, and a telephone number is memorized using a certain code, and the right half shows the area code, local code, and subscriber number from the right. On the left half, from the right, PBX numbers and extension numbers for direct telephone lines of the head office and branch offices are written.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an example of the configuration of a telephone used in the present invention. In addition to a handset 1 equivalent to a conventional telephone, a transmitting/receiving circuit 2 including a dialing circuit, a hook switch 3, and a pager 4, there is also an off-hook device. a card reading circuit 5 which receives an activation signal at the time; a switching circuit 6 provided between the transmitting/receiving circuit 2 and the hook switch 3; and a dialing signal sending circuit 7 which is switched by the switching circuit 6 and connected to the passage line. The display device 8 is configured to include a display device 8. The dial signal sending circuit 7 is also provided with a central office line button 71 and an extension button 72.

In the operation of sending out a dial signal in the circuit configuration described above, first, an activation signal is applied to the card reading circuit 5 from the activation switch 51 attached to the hook switch due to off-hook, and the reading circuit 5 becomes ready for reading. When the caller then inserts the magnetic card shown in FIG. 1 into the reading circuit 5, the reading circuit 5 reads the telephone numbers stored on the magnetic card in the order of the office line number and then the extension number if stored. This read telephone number is immediately sent to the dialing signal sending circuit 7.
and is sent to the display 8 and stored in the respective registers. The display 8 immediately displays the received telephone number in the K, prefix, and extension fields K, for example, "03-456-7891J and r12-345J."Then, the caller presses the prefix button 71 or extension button 72. is operated according to the relationship between the calling telephone and the called telephone.Therefore, the dialing signal sending circuit 7 gives a switching signal to the switching circuit 6 to connect the telephone line and store the data in the register according to the button operated. It sends out the telephone number of whether the current office line is an extension as a dial signal, and restores the switching circuit 6 after the sending is completed.The dial signal sending circuit 7 selects the telephone number of the telephone number stored in the magnetic card in advance. Delete the area code or PBX number set in the circuit and send it out.Also, if you insert the card twice, only the one inserted later will be stored in the register, and when you go on-hook, the contents of the register will disappear and the display will also disappear. be done.

FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram showing an example of the dial signal sending circuit 7 of FIG. A central office code register 4 and an extension number register 75 that respectively store the central office line number and extension number from , and an area code register 76 and a PBX number register high selector that respectively set the area code and PBX number when installing the telephone. Either the contents of the office line number register 74 input through the circuit 73 and the contents of the area code register 76 are compared and accumulated, or the contents of the extension number register 75 and the PB
It is comprised of a comparison circuit 78 that compares and stores the X number and number register high content, and a transmission circuit 79 that transmits a switching signal and a dial signal to the switching circuit 6 according to instructions from the comparison circuit 78.

In the above circuit configuration, the office line number and extension number read from the code reading circuit 5 are input to the office line number register 74 and the extension number register 75, for example, r03-456-
7891J and r12-345J are accumulated, and when the office line button 71 or the extension button 72 is pressed, the content of the area code register 76, for example "o3", and the content of the office line number register 74, r03- 456-7891J
is given to the comparator circuit 78 and r4ss-7891J is accumulated, but the PBX number number register high content, for example, "
15” and the contents of extension number register 75 r12-3454
is applied to the comparator circuit 78 and "r12-345" is accumulated. That is, the comparison circuit 78 compares only the area code or PBX number, and extracts and stores only the number to be sent out from among the telephone numbers received from the card reading circuit 5. The comparator circuit 78 that has completed the storage instructs the sending circuit to send out this content as a dial signal.

2 and 3 have been explained above with reference to a telephone set installed in a PBX, but in the case of a telephone set with only a central office line, the dial signal sending circuit 7 includes the extension button 72 and the extension number register 75. There is no need to open the PBX number register, and the dial signal may be sent immediately by providing the office line button 71. For extension lines, a circuit is provided that first stores the dial number of the central line in the comparison circuit 78 when the central line button is pressed.

, Eng. Ka. As explained above in detail, the present invention uses a magnetic card that is used as a business card or for dialing, so that it is possible to call the other party without dialing each digit, and there is a high possibility of erroneous operation. This has the effect of making it easier to dial. Furthermore, by having a special card magnetizer, you can create your own phone number book with other people's phone numbers, and you can easily handle number changes, which is advantageous with the barcode method or the Sanko method. There are also some difficult effects.
