KR100339526B1 - Automatic dialing method in atm communication instrument - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: An automatic dialing method in an ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) communication instrument is provided so that a user easily selects a corresponding address and performs an automatic dialing by displaying an address list according to usage frequency when the user requests the address list for the automatic dialing. CONSTITUTION: A CPU judges whether a list-up key is inputted by a user. If the list-up key is inputted, the CPU reads an address list and displays the read address list. The CPU judges whether the user selects an address from the displayed address list. The CPU stores the address selected by the user in a called party number of a setup message and transmits the setup message. The CPU increases the use number of the corresponding address stored in the called party number, sorts the address list, and stores the sorted address list. If the list-up key is not inputted or the user does not selects the address from the displayed address list, the CPU judges whether the dial input of the user exists. If the dial input of the user exists, the CPU stores a dial number inputted by the user in the called party number of the setup message and transmits the setup message. The CPU judges whether the dial number corresponds to an address included in the address list. If the dial number corresponds to the address included in the address list, the CPU increases a use frequency number of the corresponding address, sorts the address list, and stores the address list. If the dial number does not correspond to the address included in the address list, the CPU confirms whether the corresponding dial number is stored, and stores the dial number in the address list.

Description

Automatic dialing method in ATM communication device

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) communication device. In particular, when setting up a call, an address list is provided to a user in order of frequently used addresses according to a weight according to the frequency of use of the user. The present invention relates to an automatic dialing method in an ATM communication device that enables automatic dialing.

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a general ATM communication terminal device.

First, a schematic configuration will be described with reference to the following.

A central processing unit (CPU) 1 for controlling each part of the system, a keyboard 2 for inputting an address and data for ATM communication under the control of the CPU 1, and the keyboard ( A display unit 3 for displaying data of ATM communication inputted by 2), an address for call setup and information on an address (e.g., a name of a receiver) and respective counter values under the control of the CPU 1; And an ADB (Address Database) 4 for storing a database, and a physical layer and ATM cell header for connection with a physical medium under the control of the CPU 1. and a PAA unit 5 including an ATM layer for controlling the ATM connection and an AAA layer for a service interface between a user and an ATM layer.

A general ATM communication terminal device having such a configuration displays an address stored for automatic dialing when a call is set up, and thus allows a user to select and set up a call.

In the conventional automatic dialing method, the address list is displayed in the order of the addresses or in the order set by the user.

Thus, the user is inconvenient to search each address in order to find a desired dialing number.

In view of the above, in the present invention, when setting up a call, information about the frequency of an address to be used is included in each stored address, and when the user requests an address list for automatic dialing, the frequency is stored as a registration information. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an automatic dialing method in an ATM communication device in which an automatic dialing is possible by a user easily selecting a corresponding address by displaying an address list.

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a general ATM communication device apparatus.

Figure 2a, Figure 2b is a flow chart showing the execution process of the automatic dialing method in the ATM communication device of the present invention.

Determining whether a user inputs an address list request key;

When the address list request key is input, reading the address list to display the address list;

Determining whether there is a user's selection from the displayed address list, and storing an address selected by the user in a called party number of a set-up message to transmit a setup message;

Increasing the frequency of use of the corresponding address stored in the called party number, and sorting and storing the address list;

Determining whether there is a dial input by the user when the request key of the list is not input or when there is no user selection in the displayed address list;

Transmitting a setup message by storing the dial number entered by the user in the called party number of the setup message for call setup when the user has a dial input;

Determining whether a number is stored in an address list according to transmission of a setup message;

If the address is included in the address list, the frequency of use of the address is increased, and the address list is sorted and stored;

In the case of an address not included in the address list, the procedure for performing a process of confirming to the user whether or not the corresponding dial number stored by the user is stored in the address list is performed.

With reference to the embodiment of the present invention shown in Figure 2 the automatic dialing method in the present invention ATM communication device having such a feature will be described as follows.

With the ATM scan terminal switched to key scan mode to accept an external signal to perform an off-hook for communication, the user enters an address list to establish a call. You can use the stored number or dial the number you want,

The CPU 1 determines whether the user has selected a list-up key for calling the address list.

When the list up key of the key board 2 is input, the ADB unit 4 reads and displays the address list under the control of the CPU 1.

At this time, the stored address list is stored according to the order of addresses frequently used by the user, and the displayed address list is also displayed according to the order frequently used by the user. The storing process of the address list will be described as follows.

Then, when the user places a cursor on the desired address in the address list thus displayed and presses the enter key to select it, the user selects the called party number in the setup message for the call setup of the ATM communication. The address will be saved.

After that, the setup message is transmitted to set up the call. Accordingly, the CPU 1 increments (+1) a counter indicating the number of times of use of the called party number, that is, the address selected for the call setup.

The address list is then compared with other addresses in the address list, and the address list is sorted and stored.

That is, the address list is stored in the order of the addresses with the high frequency of use. Therefore, when the user selects the list up key as described above, the address list can be displayed from the address with the high frequency of use.

On the other hand, if the user does not select the list-up key or if the corresponding address is not selected, the user directly enters the dial number.

The CPU 1 temporarily stores the user's input dial to recognize the user. If the user inputs an end key indicating completion of the dial number, the CPU 1 recognizes that the user input of the dial number is completed and temporarily stores the dial number. Is stored in the called party number in the setup message for the call setup of ATM communication as above.

Here, when a key other than the dial key (eg, an incorrect input such as # or *) is input before the AND key is input, the transmission mode is completed after clearing the temporarily stored dial number.

Thereafter, as described above, the setup message is transmitted, thereby searching whether the dial number input by the user is stored in the address list.

At this time, when stored in the address list, the counter value, which is information indicating the frequency of use, is increased as described above.

However, if it is not stored in the address list, the user is asked whether to save it and the number of times of use is set (set to 1).

When the user selects save, it confirms whether or not to include the character information in the address information. When the user inputs the key for the character information through the keyboard 2, the user temporarily saves and completes the character information. When an AND key is inputted, it is recognized and written at the bottom of the address list along with the number of times of use.

In this case, when the input of the character information is not selected or when the AND key is not input during the character input, only the use frequency information is stored and stored at the bottom of the address list.

As described above, by storing the addresses frequently used by the users in order, the user frequently displays a list frequently used when the user requests an address list for call setup. Dialing can be performed.
