Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically dial for telephone numbers not registered to a telephone set and enable unspecified users to utilize function of automatic dialing by giving telephone numbers registered beforehand to a telephone set as optical data and thereby making dialing possible. CONSTITUTION:When abbreviated number for telephone number registered beforehand in a dial number registering device 5 is inputted from a key inputting section 6, the telephone number is read out from a RAM 53, and converted to the optical data by a optical conversion outputting section 54, and the optical data are given to a optical conversion inputting section 13 of the telephone set 1. The optical conversion inputting section 13 converts the optical data to telephone number. The dial signal is sent out to a telephone circuit 9 through a CPU 14 and a circuit network switching device 15. In the case where telephone number registered beforehand to the telephone set 1 is to be changed or telephone number is to be registered to the telephone set 1 anew, required telephone number and command for change of number or new registration are given from the dial number registering device 5 to the telephone set 1 as light data.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Field of Industrial Application> The present invention relates to a telephone set having telephone number registration and automatic dialing functions.

<Prior Art> Currently, telephones are becoming more and more multi-functional, and telephones used at home or in the office are now equipped with a memory function and are also capable of auto-dialing.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> It goes without saying that conventional multi-functional telephones that can register telephone numbers cannot be used as public telephones used by an unspecified number of people.

Further, even people who do not use the telephone all the time and do not dial the registered telephone number cannot take advantage of its functions. Furthermore, with conventional phones that allow phone numbers to be registered, for example, if the phone number changes for a specific phone within a company, it is necessary to change the registered phone number for all other phones. The work involved was extremely complicated.

Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention provides an optical data input means for inputting a telephone number as optical data in a multi-functional telephone having telephone number registration and automatic dialing functions, and an optical data input means for inputting a telephone number as optical data. and dialing means for dialing the telephone number received.

<Embodiment> FIG. 2 shows the appearance of a multifunctional telephone according to this embodiment. The telephone 1 has a handset 2. Key to input phone number Human power section 3
It also has an optical input section 4. Dial number registration, device 5
has a size that can be freely carried, like a calculator, for example, and has a key input section 6 and a display section 7 on its surface, and a light output section 8 on its end surface. The optical output section 8 of this dial number registration device 5 is made to face the optical input section 4 of the telephone 1,
A telephone number registered in advance in the dial number registration device 5 can be given to the telephone set 1 as optical data.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of this multifunctional telephone. The telephone 1 includes a power supply section 11. RAM1 that stores registered phone numbers
2. Optical conversion input section 13. CPU14゜Line network switching device 1
5 and a communication circuit section 16. Line network switching device 15
is connected to the telephone line 9. Dial number registration device 5
is the display section 7. CPU 51, key human power department 6. Power supply section 52
．． It includes a RAM 53 for storing registered telephone numbers and an optical conversion output section 54. The telephone number registered in the RAM 53 is back-amplified by a power supply section 52 made of, for example, a battery.

The action will be explained below.

When making a call, first pick up the handset 2, then input the abbreviated number corresponding to the telephone number pre-registered in the dial number registration device 5 from the key input section 6, this telephone number is read out from the RAM 53, The optical conversion output section 54 converts it into optical data, and this optical data is given to the optical conversion input section 13 of the telephone 1. Optical conversion input section 13
converts this optical data into a telephone number. And C.P.
A dial signal is sent to telephone line 9 via U14 and line network switching device 15.

When registering a new telephone number in the telephone 1, change the telephone number previously registered in the telephone 1 using the dial number registration device 5. By giving a number change or new registration command to the telephone 1 as optical data, the changed telephone number or the newly registered telephone number is written into the RAM 12 in the telephone 1. In this case, no special key operations are required on the telephone 1.

<Effects of the Invention> As explained above, in the present invention, since a pre-registered telephone number can be given to the telephone as optical data for dialing, automatic dialing is possible even for telephone numbers not registered in the telephone. This makes it possible to utilize the auto dial function even for unspecified users. Further, by commonly providing a telephone number as optical data to a large number of telephones, it is possible to easily change the telephone number registered in advance in the telephone or register a new telephone number.
