Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain dialing with no error by storing a telephone number in a card, only inserting the card to a telephone set to call repetitively an objective called party with the same priority from unlimited many cards. CONSTITUTION:The system consists of a card 40 storing a telephone number, a means 23 for storing the inputted telephone number in the card 40 and reading the stored telephone number in the card 40, a means 26 for storing the read telephone number and means 27, 28, 30, 31 for calling the party of the read telephone number repetitively. Thus, any number is dialed with the same priority from unlimited many cards without distinguishing the number to be stored and not to be stored as in a conventional telephone system, and the card storing the opposite telephone number is carried and immediate dialing is attained from any telephone set 20 without storing the telephone number or checking it on a telephone directory by only inserting the card 40.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a telephone with a telephone number storage function.

(Prior art) Conventionally, this type of telephone has been designed to store telephone numbers in software within the telephone, and dialing a one- or two-digit number (that is, up to 99) manually. However, the comparison between the destination and the memory number was performed by referring to a list on the front panel of the telephone.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The conventional telephone with a telephone number storage function described above stores the telephone number in software within the telephone, and has the following drawbacks.

(+) Since the number of operation keys for calling a desired number from outside is limited due to the structure, the number of phone numbers that can be stored is small.

(2) If the number of people to call is displayed on the front panel of the telephone, there is a limit to the number of people to call due to space limitations, so it is limited to only people to call very frequently.

(3) When making a call to many telephones whose telephone numbers cannot be stored in the telephone, look up the telephone number in the telephone directory each time, and use your finger to turn the dial or press a button to get the correct telephone number. need to be entered, which is time-consuming.

(Means for solving the problem) A means for storing a telephone number on the card or reading a telephone number stored on the card, a means for storing the read telephone number, and a means for storing the read telephone number. and means for repeatedly calling the other party.

Therefore, any telephone number can be accessed from an unlimited number of cards with the same priority, without distinguishing between memorized and non-remembered numbers as in traditional telephones.
By carrying around a card with the other party's phone number stored on it, you can dial immediately by inserting the card into any phone, without having to memorize the phone number or look it up in the phone book.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a telephone system with a telephone number storage function according to the present invention.

This embodiment uses a card 40 in which a telephone number is stored magnetically or the like, and when the card 40 is inserted in the direction of an arrow, the telephone number entered manually by a push button is stored in the card 40, or is already stored in the card 40. It consists of a telephone 20 that has the function of reading a stored telephone number and repeatedly calling the person at the other end of the telephone number.

FIG. 2 is an external view of the card 40.

The card 40 has a field for writing the recipient's name 41 and telephone number 42, a field for magnetically recording the telephone number 43, and an index 4 indicating the orientation when inserted into the telephone 20.
4 is provided. Further, the index 44 is a column in which characters are written in alphabetical order so that a desired card can be easily found from the cards that have been arranged and stored.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the main parts of telephone 20. As shown in FIG.

The telephone number recording/reading section 23 is operated by the drive circuit 25, records the telephone number input by the input key (push button) 21 on the card 40, or reads the telephone number stored on the card 40, and makes a telephone call. The number is stored in the number storage circuit 26. The phone number display 22 has an input key.
2] The telephone number input and the telephone number read from the card 40 are displayed. The calling circuit 28 reads out the telephone number stored in the telephone number storage circuit 26 and calls the other party.

The busy determination circuit 30 determines whether the other party is busy or not. If the other party is busy, the continuous calling circuit 31 activates the calling circuit 28 to repeatedly call the other party and displays the busy display port 29.
“Busy” is displayed on the screen. The continuous call selection circuit 27 is a circuit that selects a certain number of repeat calls, and when the card 40 is inserted, "repeat call" is automatically selected.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart explaining the operation of this embodiment.

First, the operator inserts the card 40 into the telephone 20 (step 1).Next, the operator selects the "telephone number recording" mode or the "call" mode using a switch (not shown) (step 2). In this case, the push button of the input key 21 is pressed and the number is recorded in the phone number recording circuit 26 (step 4).It is determined whether or not to call the other party (step 5), and if not, the card number is recorded. 40 from the telephone number recording/reading unit 23 (step I+). When calling in step 5 or step 2
When the "call" mode is selected, the calling circuit 28
reads the telephone number stored in the telephone number storage circuit 26 and calls the other party (step 6). Busy judgment circuit 30
It is determined whether the other party is on the phone or not (step 7).
If the other party is on the phone, the continuous calling circuit 31 activates the calling circuit 28 again to repeatedly call, and the busy display circuit 29 displays "Busy" (
Step 8). If the other party is not on the phone, the operator starts the call (step 9), ends the call (step IO)
), remove the card 40 from the phone 20 (step II
).

Note that a number of telephone numbers may be stored in one card, and the user may select a telephone number while looking at the screen of the telephone number display 22 provided on the front of the telephone after the card is inserted.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention records a telephone number on a card using a telephone, and by simply inserting this card into the telephone, the telephone reads the telephone number recorded on the card and repeatedly calls the desired party. It has the following effects.

(1) Any telephone number can be dialed without error with the same priority from an unlimited number of cards, without distinguishing between memorized numbers and non-memorized numbers as in conventional telephones.

(2) By carrying around a card with the other party's phone number stored on it, you can immediately dial by simply inserting the card into any phone, without having to memorize the phone number or look it up in the phone book.
