Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow a few operation keys to select lots of destination numbers and to attain dialing with the selected numbers by adopting a constitution that stored dial numbers are selected sequentially by a selection means. CONSTITUTION:When a selection key 11 on a console panel 6 is depressed, an opposite telephone number and a name in an information area 20 instructed by an index pointer in a storage means 4 are called and displayed on a display device 10. Whether or not the displayed number is the opposite party is discriminated and when not, the pointer 21 is revised, the opposite telephone numbers stored in the information area 20 are selected and displayed sequentially. When the telephone number displayed on the display device 10 is the opposite telephone number on the other hand, a dialing key 12 is depressed. In this case, a control means 2 uses a telephone number displayed on the display device 10 via a dialing means 3 to access an exchange thereby enabling the communication with the opposite number via a telephone line.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a dialing device, and particularly to a dialing device that connects a line to a destination so that it can communicate with the destination by dialing means for calling the destination.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, such a dialing device is provided with a plurality of operation keys, and by operating the operation keys, the corresponding destination number stored in the memory device is retrieved, and this number is then stored. There are known dialing devices that can communicate with other parties.

In this case, the selected destination number is configured to be displayed on a display unit or the like.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In such conventional devices, there is a limit to the number of destination numbers that can be stored in order to avoid increasing the proportion of operation keys on the operation panel. There is a problem in that if a large number of destination numbers are ignored and the number is selected by, for example, a one-touch key button, the operation panel becomes larger and the cost increases. Further, in a dialing device equipped with a display, the line is dialed as soon as the display is displayed, so that even if, for example, an incorrect number is dialed, it cannot be confirmed until after the dialing has been completed. Furthermore, if a plurality of destination numbers are to be displayed, a large display section is required, resulting in an expensive device.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a dialing device that can select many destination numbers with a small number of operation keys and dial the selected number. .

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve these problems, the present invention provides a storage means for storing and memorizing dial numbers, and a storage means for selecting a predetermined number from the stored dial numbers. A configuration is adopted in which the dial number stored in the dial number can be sequentially called and selected by the selection means.

[Function] With this configuration, for example, by operating the operation means realized by the operation keys, stored dial numbers can be sequentially called up and a predetermined dial number can be selected, and the selected dial number can be used to, for example, dial a dial. By pressing the ring button, it becomes possible to easily select the dial number of the other party using a small number of operation keys.

[Example] The present invention will be described in detail below according to embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of a dialing device according to the present invention as a block diagram, and in the same figure, what is indicated by reference numeral 1 is a selection means, and this selection means 1 is a CP
It is connected to a control means 2 composed of a U and the like. A storage means 4 is further connected to the control means 2, in which a plurality of dial numbers of the other party are stored in a predetermined order. The control means 2 sequentially reads out the destination numbers stored in the storage means according to the selection means 1 and displays them on the display means 5.
When a desired dial number is selected and displayed, the telephone number is accessed to the exchange via the dialing means 3 connected to the control means 2, and communication with the other party is enabled.

FIG. 2 shows a more detailed configuration of FIG. 1, and in the same figure, the same parts as in FIG. 1 are given the same reference numerals and their explanations will be omitted.

In FIG. 2, the reference numeral 6 is an operation panel.
A display 10 corresponding to the display means 5 is arranged on this operation panel, and the selected dial number is displayed here with a name attached thereto. Further, a selection button 11 is arranged adjacent to the display 10, and by operating the selection button 11, telephone numbers stored in the storage means 4 can be sequentially selected and displayed on the display 10. Also, a dialing button 12 is arranged at the lower part of the operation panel.
When this is operated, the display 1 is displayed via the dialing means 3.
You can access the exchange using the telephone number displayed at 0 and communicate with the other party corresponding to that number.

Further, the storage means 4 is provided with a destination information area 20 storing a telephone number and a corresponding name at a predetermined address, and an indicator (pointer) 21 for indicating display contents.
is provided.

Next, the operation of the dialing device having such a configuration will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, when you press the selection button 11 on the operation panel 6, (
step SL), calling the telephone number, name, etc. of the other party in the information area 20 indicated by the index pointer 21 in the storage means 4 and displaying them on the display 10 (step S2);
Next, in step S3, it is determined whether the displayed number is the other party's number, and if not, the process proceeds to step S4.
The pointer 21 is updated to sequentially select and display the destination telephone numbers stored in the information area 20. - If it is confirmed that the telephone number displayed on the power display 10 is the other party's number, the dialing button 12 is pressed in step S5. The telephone number displayed on the screen allows you to access the exchange and communicate with the other party's number via the telephone line.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, it is possible to obtain the same effect by using a microphone and a speaker by changing the operation buttons and display to a voice recognition unit, and it is also possible to obtain the same effect by using a microphone and a speaker. It is also possible to use a handset without providing a selection button or the like.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, the stored dial numbers can be sequentially called up and selected by one selection means, so that a large number of destination dial numbers can be stored. With the selection means having a simple configuration, it is possible to sequentially select the destination dial numbers, and a dialing device configured with a small number of operation keys can be obtained.
