JPS6320941A - Telephone set with automatic dial function - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a call to an opposite party from being forgotten and to ensure calling by eliminating the need for dialing by a caller itself in case of an outgoing call to the opposite party with time designation or the like to follow up a predetermined operation. CONSTITUTION:When a caller depresses a special key of a ten-key 6 to input data for setting mode, a processor 3 displays 'TIME' on a display section 1 at first and the call time inputted by the caller is stored in a memory 4. Then the processor 3 displays 'NUMBER on the display section to urge the caller to input a dial number, which is stored in the memory 4 and the display of 'SET OK' is executed. Then the processor 3 uses a program to be transited to the automatic call mode when the time by a timer 2 is coincident with a time stored in the memory 4. In the transition to the automatic call mode, 'CALL' is displayed on the display section 1 and the processor 3 rings a chime 5. When the caller hooks off a handset, the processor 3 enters the execution mode to instruct the dial number stored in the memory 4 to a dial pulse generating section to send it to an exchange 9. If no reply comes even with a prescribed number of times of chime, it is processed as 'absence of caller' and 'TIME OVER' is displayed.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to telephone terminals, and particularly to a calling method for telephones.

[Prior art] Some conventional telephones display a display or send out an alarm sound at a set time, but the subsequent dialing is the same as in a normal call, in which the caller dials the number of the other party himself. .

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The conventional telephone set described above does not have a special function of automatically dialing a designated party at a preset time, and the caller has to memorize it by some means. was there.

Another disadvantage is that if the caller forgets, he or she will not be able to make the call at the appointed time.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a telephone equipped with a function of calling the other party at a set time using an automatic dialing system.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a memory for storing arbitrarily set times and dial numbers, a timer for measuring the time, a chime for emitting a time alarm stored in the memory, and the memory. This is a telephone with an automatic dialing function, characterized in that a dial pulse generating section that emits a dial pulse based on a dial number stored in the telephone, and a processor that controls the operation of each section are attached to the main body of the telephone.

[Example] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, a display section 1 is installed on the front of a telephone main body 10, a processor 3 is provided inside the main body 10, and the display section 1. Timer 2, memory 4. Chime 5. A numeric keypad 6 and a dial pulse generator 7 are connected to each other, and the dial pulse generator 7 is connected to an exchange 9 via a telephone circuit network 8.

First, the case where the calling party sets the calling time and calling dial number will be described.

The caller presses a special key (problem) on the numeric keypad 6 to input data for the setting mode. Then, the processor 3 detects this by a scanning operation based on the program in the memory 4 and shifts to the setting mode.

First, the processor 3 causes the display unit 1 to display rTIHEJ in order to have the caller set the time. After this, the processor 3 waits for time input. However, if there is no input even after the time set in the program in advance, "
"timeout" and returns to normal operation.

Once the calling time is entered by the caller, the data is stored in the memory 4. Next, in order to prompt the caller to set a dial number, rNUHBERJ is displayed on the display unit 1, and the caller waits for input of the dial number. At this time, if there is no input within a certain period of time, a timeout occurs and normal operation is resumed.

Once the dial number is entered, the memory 4 stores it.

When the time setting and dial number setting are completed, "rsET OK" is displayed on the display unit 1 as a response to the caller.

Thereafter, the processor 3 compares the time set by the timer 2 and the time stored in the memory 4 according to the program, and if they match, the processor 3 shifts to the automatic call mode.

When the processor 3 shifts to the automatic call mode, the display unit 1
[CALLJ] will be displayed on the screen, and chime 5 will sound at the same time. When the caller hears the tone and goes off-hook from the handset, the processor 3 detects the off-hook of the handset;
In execution mode, the processor 3 reads the dial number stored in the memory 4, and instructs the dial pulse generator 7 to send dial pulses to the exchange la9.

In addition, if the automatic call mode is entered and there is no off-footer from the caller, it will be processed as waiting for a response from the caller and the chime 5 will sound 5 times at 2-minute intervals (the interval and number of times are variable depending on the program). If there is no detection, it is treated as "caller absent" and displayed on display unit 1)IE 0VE
Display RJ.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention eliminates the need for the caller to dial the number himself when a call is to be made to the other party, such as by specifying a time. On the other hand, it has the effect of preventing you from forgetting to press the button, and ensuring that you can call and talk to the other party.
