Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain automatic calling of an opposite subscriber by storing automatically an opposite subscriber telephone number when the opposite subscriber is called and bringing the mode into the automatic call command mode when no talking with the opposite party is attained by the call. CONSTITUTION:When the operator dials a dial means 1 for a desired opposite party, the dial signal is sent to an exchange 4 via a pulse signal generating means 2 and the dial number is stored in a memory means 6 via a counter means 3 and a signal exchange means 5. When the opposite party does not lift up a receiver in such a case, the operator operates an automatic dial command means 7 to bring an automatic dialing means 8 into the drive enable state and drives a timer means 9 to start time count. When a timer over detection means 10. detects that the time count reaches a prescribed time, the said automatic dial outgoing means 8 supplies automatic dialing again based on a dial number stored in the memory means 6.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention provides a method for determining the subscriber telephone number (dial number) of the dialed destination when the dial is initiated and the destination is called.
The present invention relates to a telephone with an automatic call/transmission function that automatically temporarily stores the number of calls and automatically dials a Japanese caller at predetermined time intervals thereafter when communication with the other party is not possible.

<Prior art> Previously proposed telephones with an automatic call/dispatch function can be automatically called by simply registering frequently used subscriber phone numbers and performing simple operations such as pressing the subscriber button or speed dialing. This makes it easy to use when it is necessary to make frequent calls to a specific party. .

However, even with such a telephone with an automatic call dispatch function, when you make a call to the other party (for example, the other party is busy on the phone) or the intended party is temporarily absent, , it was necessary to disconnect the service once and then operate the subscriber button or speed dial again later to call the other party.

In other words, if you make a call and the person on the other end is busy or absent, you will have to dial again. Occasionally, inconveniences occurred, such as forgetting to make phone calls, which disrupted business operations.

<Purpose of the Invention> The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and is intended to be used in situations where, when calling the other party, if the other party is on a call or the intended party is temporarily To provide a telephone set with an automatic calling function that automatically calls the subscriber of the other party when a predetermined period of time has elapsed when the subscriber is absent and wants to call the same subscriber again.

That is, a storage means for introducing and storing the dial number of the other party when a calling operation of the other party is performed;
It includes a timer means for counting a predetermined time, and by setting the mode to an automatic call instruction state when a call is made to the same destination again, the timer means is stored in the storage means every time a predetermined time elapses. This system automatically calls the subscriber based on the dialed number.

<Embodiment> FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the block configuration of a telephone set according to the present invention, in which a dialing means 1 for inputting the telephone number of a subscriber is connected to a counter means 3 and a line via a pulse generating means 2. It is connected to the exchange 4 via. This counter means 3 is also connected to signal modification means 5, which convert the signal of the counter means 3 into a digital signal. This signal conversion means 5 is connected to memory means 6.

An instructing means (A) 7 such as a switch for instructing the automatic dialing mode according to the present invention is connected to an automatic dialing means 8 and a timer means 9, and the timer means 9 is connected to the automatic dialing means 9 via the time-over detecting means 10. It is connected to the transmitting means 8.

Further, a dial tone detection means 11 is connected to the exchange 4,
This detection means 11 is connected to a display alarm means 12 and a restart terminal of the timer means 9.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the operation flow of the telephone according to the present invention, and the operation will be specifically explained below in conjunction with FIG. 1.

First, when the operator turns the dial means 1 to dial the desired destination, this dial signal is sent to the exchange 4 via the pulse signal generating means 2, and is also stored in the memory means 6 via the counter means 3 and the signal converting means 5. The dialed number will be stored. In this case, the memory means 6 may have a capacity to store only one destination dial number, or may have a capacity to store a plurality of destinations.

At this time, if the other party does not pick up the receiver, the operator operates the automatic dial instructing means 7 to enable the automatic dialing means 8 to be driven, and also drives the timer hand 89 to start time counting.

When the time-over detecting means 10 detects that the time count reaches a predetermined time, the automatic dialing means 8 automatically dials again based on the dial number stored in the memory means 6.

At this time, if the other party does not pick up the receiver, the automatic dialing circuit repeats the same operation as described above.

Further, the setting value of the time-over detection means 10 is arbitrarily set in advance, for example, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, etc.

On the other hand, if the dial tone stop detection means 11 detects that the dial tone has stopped, the display alarm means 12 notifies the operator that the other party has picked up the receiver. After confirming this state, the operator picks up the receiver and starts talking.

When the call is completed, the operator hangs up the receiver, turns off the line, operates the automatic dial instruction means 7, and clears the contents of the memory means 6.

Effects> As described above, in the telephone with the automatic calling function of the present invention, when a call operation is made to call the called party, the telephone number of the called party is automatically memorized, and the telephone number of the called party is automatically memorized. If you are unable to talk to the other party, you can set it to automatic call instruction mode, and after that, the system will automatically call the other party at predetermined intervals until the other party is connected, and when the other party is connected, this status will be notified to the outside world. Therefore, if there is no call to the other party during the first call operation, the call is automatically made after that, eliminating the need for a redial operation, which is convenient and has the advantage of eliminating the possibility of forgetting to make a call.
