Abstract

The present invention is a multiple telephone used in an office or a store in a Calling Line Identification Presentation (CLIP) that supports information of a calling party to a machine (hereinafter, referred to as a communication device) that sends and receives information using an electronic medium. The present invention relates to a method for easily checking a caller's information by creating and storing a regular pattern using a special symbol ('*', '#') used in a communication device.

In general, the caller ID (CLIP) informs the calling party in advance so that it is easy to know when and who called. However, as more and more places use more than one phone number, the user of the communication device has Often, only the main phone is stored and the rest of the other phone numbers are not saved well.

In the above case, when a call is made to a phone number other than the main phone number, only the phone number is displayed and the name is not displayed on the called party's communication device, so it is difficult to know the detailed information of the calling party. There is an inconvenience to be stored.

The present invention to solve the above problems is to provide a method that can easily store and check a number of phone numbers by using special symbols ('*', '#') used in the communication device.

The present invention provides a plurality of telephone numbers used in an office or a store in a Calling Line Identification Presentation (CLIP) that supports caller's information to a machine that transmits and receives information using an electronic medium (hereinafter referred to as a communication device). By using a special symbol ('*', '#') used in the communication device to create a regular pattern and to store the information of the sender can be easily checked.

As telephones are popularized, the use of telephones in various environments increases the stress from prank calls, pornography calls, etc., and as a way to solve these problems, a call out number display (CLIP) service is being implemented.

Just a few days ago, few users subscribed to the CLIP service, but now more than 90% of mobile phone users use the CLIP service and even the home phone's CLIP service. Is supported.

The Caller ID (CLIP) service provides information to identify the calling party. It indicates who called when and when the call was made. If the calling party number is not stored in the receiving communication device, only the calling party's phone number is displayed. The name is not displayed.

In general, a user of a communication device stores a name together with a phone number to distinguish whether it is a home phone, an office phone, or a mobile phone.

However, as more and more users use more than one phone number these days, only the main phone number is stored, not the rest of the phone numbers. In this case, the phone number is called at another place (office or store). When only the phone number is displayed and the name is not displayed, it is difficult to know who's phone number in detail.

To solve this problem, you have to enter all existing telephone numbers in one place (office or store).

However, it is not a problem to enter all the telephone numbers in one office with a small number of telephone numbers, but the problem is different when there are several offices in a company and when they are divided by department.

In other words, in order to grasp the specific information of the calling party, only the waste of time for storing all the phone numbers existing in each office and each department and waste of storage space of the communication device are brought.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention uses a special symbol ('*', '#') of a communication device to store a plurality of telephone numbers used in the same place without using all the continuous telephone numbers. If you use non-consecutive pseudo-numbers, save them by using the storage method in the case of using a mixture of the two, and then recognize as if all phone numbers are stored when searching for the calling number in the communication device. This is to make it easy to check the information of the calling party.

A detailed description for implementing the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention uses a special symbol ('*', '#') of a communication device that supports Calling Line Identification Presentation (CLIP) without storing all the multiple phone numbers used in the same place and continuously. If you use a phone number, if you use a non-consecutive similar number, use the storage method of using the two in combination to save, then actually retrieve all the phone numbers when searching for the calling number in the communication device Recognizing that the stored information is easy to check the information of the calling party can be largely divided into three descriptions (phonebook search method and call directory search for the calling party information display and call by hotkey).

A. Phone number storage method

1. Phone number saving method Ⅰ: In case of consecutive phone numbers, use the special symbol '*' to display the number, but enter '*' at the end of the first phone number and enter the last value of the last consecutive phone number. The way.

Referring to FIG. 1A, the last number '0' of the first telephone number of "0539414900 * 5" is recognized as the starting value of a consecutive telephone number, while the unit of the starting value (quantity of day, ten, hundred, thousand, etc.) is special. The symbol '*' is set in units of the following values.

Next, the special symbol '*' is displayed and the last number '5' of the last consecutive telephone number is the last value of the consecutive telephone number, while the last unit is not limited.

In addition, the symbol '~', which indicates the range to be used in general, is changed to '*' for convenient input to the communication device. The value entered after the special symbol '*' is higher than the value before the special symbol '*'. Should be large

2. Phone number storage method Ⅱ: In case of non-consecutive similar number, it is indicated by using special symbol '#'. Enter the number used repeatedly before the first special symbol '#' and after the second special symbol '#'. The first and second special symbols '#' indicate a place to be replaced, and after the third special symbol '#', a new telephone number is substituted.

Referring to FIG. 1B, the first and second special symbols '#' of "0539 # 41 # 4900 # 55 # 66" indicate a place to be replaced, and '4900' indicates the remaining phone number, but there is no remaining phone number. If it does not enter anything.

In addition, '# 55' is a substitution value '55' is inputted after the special symbol '#' is displayed. If a substitution value is further present, it is input as '# 66'.

In the case of "0539 # 41 # 4900 # 55 # 66", "0539414900", "0539554900", and "0539664900" are replaced with '#' before and after the position to be replaced to limit the value of the necessary part and change the remaining phone number. Is inputted as is, and the value of the restricted portion can be continuously added using '#' again.

In general, when a continuous telephone number is not allocated due to the circumstances of a telephone company or a line is reserved, and a non-consecutive similar telephone number is allocated, multiple storage numbers can be easily entered by applying the above storage method.

3. Phone number storage method Ⅲ: Mixed storage method of the phone number storage method Ⅰ and Ⅱ mixed or duplicated special symbols '*' and '#', but '*' for consecutive phone numbers, discontinuous Enter multiple phone numbers using '#' for similar variations.

Referring to FIG. 1C, the first and second special symbols '#' of "053941 # 4900 ## 5100 * 5" indicate a place to be replaced, and the '# 5100' indicates a substitution after the special symbol '#'. '* 5' means the last value of consecutive phone number after the special symbol '*'.

The above is the case of using the number "0539414900" and "0539415100 ~ 5", and when using the same method as above in case of using the consecutive telephone number as well as the continuous telephone number in one place (office or store) Multiple phone numbers can be easily entered and stored in the communication device.

B. Phonebook search process for displaying calling party information

The current Calling Line Identification Presentation (CLIP) service searches the phone book stored in the communication device with the phone number of the other party and, if there is the same phone number, displays the stored name and phone number on the screen. In this case, only the phone number is printed.

Therefore, if the phone book is searched by the existing method, the phone numbers stored by the method of the present invention cannot be searched due to the addition of the special symbols '*' and '#'.

In order to retrieve a stored phone number in the manner of the present invention, the phone number format represented by one display number must be solved by several.

In other words, as shown by unpacking the compressed file, the format represented by one display number must be divided into several phone numbers and searched.

2, the difference between the stored telephone number retrieval process and the existing telephone number retrieval process according to the present invention can be largely divided into three features.

First, a step 202 of determining whether the present invention is applied to a phone number and a step of comparing and analyzing a plurality of phone numbers represented by one display number with a phone number of the other party (203), namely, what type of storage method is used? Whether it is determined in step 203, and finally, in step 204, whether it matches the other party's telephone number.

Fig. 2 adds a stored telephone number retrieval process to the existing telephone number retrieval process.

The existing telephone number search process (201, 205 to 208) for calling service identification (CLIP) service compares the stored telephone books one by one sequentially from the beginning and checks whether there is a corresponding telephone number and displays the name and telephone number. If not, only the phone number is displayed.

In the present invention, when distinguishing the display number containing the special symbols ('*', '#'), a new search process (202, 203, 204) is added in the above search process (201, 205 to 208) to search for a phone number. It is possible to support the call number display (CLIP) service by searching the phone number expressed as one display number.

Looking specifically at the search process of Figure 2 retrieves a phone number from the phone book is stored for sequential search and stored in a temporary buffer (201).

In addition, it is determined whether the called phone number is a phone number to which the present invention is applied (202). If the phone number is not applied to the present invention, the calling number is displayed by comparing with the existing phone number (205 to 208). Service), and if it is an applied phone number, it is analyzed (203) which type of storage method is used.

Analyzing the type of the storage method (203) is to analyze which special symbol is used in the stored phone number. When only the special symbol '*' is used, the telephone number storage method I and the special symbol ' If only # 'is used, telephone number storage method Ⅱ is classified. If special symbols' *' and '#' are used, telephone number storage method III is classified.

In the case of the phone number storage method Ⅰ, the algorithm of FIG. 3 is applied and the phone number up to the special symbol '*' is compared with the other party's phone number as shown in FIG. 3 (301). Ends the search and informs you about the phone number found (303), if different, if the consecutive phone numbers fall within the range (302), that is, the start value before the special symbol '*' and the end after '*' You need to know if the number is between values.

In addition, since the number is found between the start value and the last value, the phone number is found (303), and if it is not the number between the other number because the number was not found (304).

In the case of the telephone number storage method II, the algorithm is applied to the algorithm shown in FIG. 4, but the telephone number up to the first special symbol '#' is checked to match the telephone number of the other party (401).

If the phone number of the other party matches, it is checked whether the phone number between the first '#' and the second '#' matches the other party's phone number (402).

If it matches, it checks if the remaining numbers match (406), and if it does not match, compares the replacement value after the third '#' symbol (404).

In addition, if the substitution value does not match, check whether there is a next '#' sign (405) and compare it with the substitution value after the special symbol '#'. .

In the case of the telephone number storage method III, a combination of the telephone number storage methods I and II is applied to both the algorithms of the telephone number storage methods I and II.

Then, if it checks whether the phone number matches the other party's phone number storage method, a search result is displayed and the phone number and name are output or only the phone number is output on the screen according to the search result.

C. Outgoing by Shortcuts

If you make a call using the hot key among the functions of the communication device, call the number stored in the phone book corresponding to the hot key.

When the present invention is applied, since a special symbol ('*', '#') is not properly transmitted by the conventional method, the phone number to which the special symbol ('*', '#') is applied is converted into an existing phone number. There must be a part to change.

Figure 5 shows the process of changing the phone number in order to make a call, when you press a hotkey to bring up the phone number corresponding to the hotkey and not directly to the phone number, rather than a special symbol ('*' in the phone number , '#') Are checked (502,508).

If a special symbol ('*', '#') is not included, the telephone number is stored in a temporary variable (510) and sent to the telephone number stored in the temporary variable (510), and a special symbol ('*', '# ') Is included, it is necessary to know what the storage method is (502,508).

If the corresponding phone number has the special symbol '#' (502), the phone number up to the first '#' symbol is stored in a temporary variable (503), and then the special symbol '*' until the second '#' symbol. Check if there is '504'.

If there is a special symbol '*', the number between the first '#' and '*' symbols is stored in a temporary variable (506). If not, the number between the first '#' symbol and the second '#' symbol is stored in a temporary variable. 505).

Then, the number up to the third '#' symbol before the substitution is stored in the temporary variable (507) and then sent to the number stored in the temporary variable.

If there is no special symbol '#' in the corresponding phone number and only the special symbol '*' is stored, only the previous phone number is stored in a temporary variable (509) and the phone number stored in the temporary variable is transmitted (511).

As described above, the present invention stores a telephone number used in an office or a store having a plurality of telephone numbers, and makes a regular pattern by using a special symbol ('*', '#') used in a communication device. Express the number of phone numbers into one display number, save the phone number made of one display number, extract the necessary phone number by retrieving a regular pattern when searching, and then call the number of the conventional communication device until the call is made by the hot key. The effect of improving the function of the display (CLIP) service can be obtained.

Claims (1)

By using special symbols ('*', '#') of communication devices that support Calling Line Identification Presentation (CLIP), one display number is not stored without storing all the phone numbers used in the same place. In storage as; In the case of consecutive phone numbers, the special symbol '*' is used to indicate the phone number storage method Ⅰ and '*' at the end of the first phone number and the last value of the consecutive phone number. In case of non-sequential pseudo-numbers, the special symbol '#' is used to indicate it, but before the first special symbol '#' and the second special symbol '#', the number is used repeatedly and the first and second special symbols are used. '#' Indicates the place to be replaced, and after the third special symbol '#', the phone number storage method Ⅱ and the new phone number's substitution value are entered. In the mixed storage method of the telephone number storage method I and II, special symbols '*' and '#' are mixed or duplicated, but '*' is used for consecutive telephone numbers and '#' is used for non-consecutive similar numbers. Telephone number storage method of a communication device supporting the caller ID display, characterized in that it comprises a telephone number storage method III for inputting a plurality of telephone numbers.
