Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a dialing device used in a device that performs communication using a line, such as a facsimile device.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

Conventionally, this type of dialing device has one that has a manual dialing function that converts the telephone number data obtained from the dial keypad into a selection signal and sends it to the line, and one that has a manual dialing function that converts the telephone number data obtained from the dial keypad into a selection signal and sends it to the line. Some devices have a speed dial function that converts telephone number data previously registered in a memory into a read selection signal and sends it to a line by operating a specific switch (speed dial switch).

However, this speed dialing function in conventional dialing devices does not allow pre-registered telephone number data of the destination station, but if the destination station has the same area code as the own area code, the local number data However, if they were different, it was necessary to include area code data and local number data. That is, only the local number is required for destination stations with the same area code, and the area code is required in addition to the local number for destination stations with different area codes. Therefore, for each closed number area where a dialing device is installed, area code data in the telephone number data of the destination station to be registered may or may not be necessary, so registering this telephone number data is troublesome. , registration errors also occurred.

In addition, when applying a dialing device that stores the same telephone number data to multiple facsimile devices, such as in a facsimile communication system, the telephone number data that should be registered differs depending on the installation area of each facsimile device. The memory in which phone number data was registered could not be used.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a dialing device that allows easy registration of telephone number data and also allows use of a memory in which common telephone number data is registered. purpose.

[Summary of the invention]

Therefore, the present invention stores the telephone number data of a plurality of destination stations in which identification data is interposed between the area code data and the local number data in a first memory, and stores the area code data of the own station in a second memory. The area code data stored in the second memory is compared with the area code data of the telephone number data stored in the first memory that is identified by the identification data, and based on the comparison result, the desired area code data is stored. The above objective is achieved by extracting phone number data of .

[Embodiments of the invention]

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention applied to a facsimile machine, in which 1 is an operation panel, 2 is a dial keypad, K1 to K4 are speed dial switches, and L1 to L4 are speed dials. These are light emitting diodes (LEDs) corresponding to the switches K1 to K4. Further, in the same figure, numeral 3 is a register that temporarily stores data sent from the dial keypad 2, and 4 is a register that sends switch data of the operated speed dial switches K1 to K4, as well as a register for each of the operated speed dial switches K1 to K4.
5 is a switch drive circuit that lights up the LEDs L1 to L4 corresponding to K4; 5 is an address generation circuit that sends out an address signal specifying a predetermined area of the memory 6 based on the switch data from the switch drive circuit 4; 8 is a switch; 9 is a switch drive circuit; A selection signal sending circuit for sending a selection signal to the line; 10 is a control circuit;

Note that the memory 6 stores telephone number data of a specific destination station that has been set and registered in advance, and this telephone number data is a combination of area code data A and local number data B as shown in FIG. This is data in a form in which identification data M is interposed between them. The memory 7 also stores the area code data of the local station.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained while explaining the operation of the control circuit 10.

First, consider manual dial operation. First, when the operator lifts up the handset and takes it off-hook, off-hook data is input from the handset switch 8 to the control circuit 10, and the control circuit 10 becomes operational. Next, when the dial keypad 2 is operated, the telephone number data of the destination station is stored in the register 3. The control circuit 10 is
This stored telephone number data is transferred to the read selection signal sending circuit 9. Selection signal sending circuit 9
sends a predetermined selection signal to the line based on this telephone number data, and the manual dialing operation is completed.

Second, consider speed dial operations. First, when off-hook data is input from the hook switch 8 to the control circuit 10 in the same manner as when operating the manual dial, the control circuit 10 becomes operational.
Here, for example, the operator may turn on the speed dial switch K.
Suppose you press 1. Then, the switch data of the speed dial switch K1 is sent from the switch drive circuit 4 to the address generation circuit 5, and the detection data indicating that the speed dial switches K1 to K4 have been operated is sent from the switch drive circuit 4 to the control circuit 10. sent to. Also, at this time, the switch drive circuit 4 lights up the LED L1 corresponding to the speed dial switch K1. Address generation circuit 5
sends out an address signal to the memory 6 based on the input switch data. Assuming that the memory 6 stores predetermined telephone number data at a predetermined address as described above and shown in FIG. 2, in this case, an address signal designating address 10 is sent out. The control circuit 10 detects that a speed dial operation has been performed by inputting the detection data from the switch drive circuit 4, and inputs the telephone number data "03*" stored at the designated address (address 10) in the memory 6. 9991111". Then, the area code data of the own station stored in the memory 7 is read out, and this area code data is compared with the area code data A in the telephone number data read out from the memory 6. Detection of area code data A is performed based on determination of identification data M. Here, assuming that the dial device according to this embodiment is installed within the 23 wards of Tokyo, the area code data "03" is stored in the memory 7. Therefore, the above comparison result is a match, and the control circuit 10 reads out the identification data M "*".
Only the subsequent local number data B "9991111" is transferred to the selection signal sending circuit 9. Selection signal sending circuit 9
sends a predetermined selection signal to the line based on this data, and the speed dial operation is completed.

By the way, for example, when the speed dial switch K2 is operated, the control circuit 10 reads the telephone number data "06*3337777" stored at address 20 in the memory 6.
Read out. Then, the area code data are compared as described above. However, in this case, since the area code data is different, the control circuit 10 transfers the data “063337777” read out from the memory 6 from the telephone number data excluding the identification data M to the selection signal sending circuit 9. The selection signal sending circuit 9 sends out a selection signal based on this data, thus completing the speed dialing operation.

Incidentally, the area code data of the own station or the telephone number data of the destination station may be stored based on the operation of the switch 8 and the dial keypad 2, or may be written in advance using a ROM writer or the like. Further, in this embodiment, the speed dialing operation is performed using the separately provided speed dial switches K1 to K4, but the speed dialing operation may also be performed using the dial keypad 2.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, there is no need to judge whether or not to register an area code, making it easier to register telephone number data of a destination station and reducing erroneous registration. Furthermore, if the present invention is applied to a system such as a facsimile communication system in which telephone number data of a common destination station is registered in each dialing device, a memory in which common telephone number data is registered is used. This also makes registration settings easier and more convenient.
