With the development of information and telecommunications, mobile phones, pagers, personal mobile communications, outgoing mobile phones, international calls, long distance calls, local calls, etc. are becoming more diverse in the future. Many live in the age of floods of identification numbers. However, users must bear the complexity of use with the diversification of services. Introducing the identification numbers published so far [identification numbers currently used: 082, 001, 002, 011, 015, 017 | future identification numbers: 016, 018, 019, 008, 014xy, 013x → personal mobile communication ( PCS), international calls, wireless data communications, and outgoing call-only cell phones (CT-2)]. Here, the area code, emergency network, etc ... I live in a flood of identification numbers. Therefore, one-touch key buttons corresponding to each identification number are created in advance before being shipped from the factory for convenience of use and various services, and basic key buttons (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) , 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, *, #). In addition, by creating a user-defined button that can be assigned by the user directly by a simple operation, such as the area code frequently used by the user, and placed together with the one-touch key button. In addition, the identification number is directly attached to the one-touch key button and the user-defined button and placed at the same level as the basic button (see FIG. 1). This allows the user to make one key button without having to remember the corresponding key button. As the service can be easily used by pressing, it will be excellent as a telephone suitable for an era of information communication services such as modern times.

In accordance with the development of various information and communication, the present invention is increasingly complicated to use the phone according to the diversification of the telephone service, such as long-distance call, international call, mobile phone, outgoing mobile phone (CT-2), personal mobile communication (PCS) In the usage, in order to conveniently use the identification number assigned to each service by creating a key button for each identification number and installed in a proper arrangement with the basic key button, when the user uses the corresponding service key button for each identification number It relates to a telephone having a key button for each identification number, characterized in that for easy use by pressing once.

Due to the rapidly changing social structure and the development of various information and communication, intercity, international calls, mobile phones, pagers, and outgoing cell phones (CT-2), which are expected to change to two-way wireless communication in the second half of '98, '97 Various services such as personal mobile communication (PCS), which is scheduled to be serviced in the second half of the year, and new local call service to be implemented to separate operators in '98, are increasing. have. When using each service, the user must first remember the identification number of the service and dial the identification number before pressing the subscriber's telephone number. Therefore, it is very cumbersome in use because the number of times to press the key button and the identification number for each service must be remembered. In the case of international calls, long distance calls, and local calls, multiple operators are designated to strengthen their competitiveness. Therefore, each operator should use a memorized identification number rather than selecting a differentiated service such as a fare system.

The dial method using the current identification number is briefly described as follows.

◆ Long distance call function: area code + subscriber's phone number (using Korea Mobile Communications)

082 + area code + subscriber's phone number (using dacom)

◆ pager function: 012 + subscriber's telephone number

015 + subscriber number

◆ Mobile phone call function: 011 + subscriber's phone number

017 + subscriber number

◆ International call function: 001 + country code + area code + subscriber's phone number

002 + country code + area code + subscriber's phone number

In addition, identification numbers to be added in the future are as follows.

◆ New carrier identification number (see January 31, 1997 electronic newspaper)

-International call function by third party (Onse Telecom, scheduled to be implemented in September '97):

When calling: 008 + country code + area code + subscriber's phone number

Personal Mobile Communication (PCS):

Hantong Freetel: 016, Hansol PCS: 018 LG Telecom: 019

-Wireless data communication: 014xy series identification number will be assigned

Air Media: 01481, Hancom Telecom: 01482, Intec Telecom: 01483

-Wireless Call: Happy Telecom (015 + 7700 ~ 7799 + subscriber number)

-Call calls by 2nd business: To be given identification number this year

Call-only cell phone (CT-2): 013x series will be given when incoming call is developed

Frequency common communication (TRS): Identification number will be assigned when interworking with general telephone network

With the development of communication technology as described above, various communication services are developed and convenient to use, but the general user has to remember all the real numbers and the user has to press a separate identification number in addition to the subscriber's telephone number (more than 3 times). ) It is very complicated to use. As such, there are multiple numbers in one service call (e.g., 001, 002 for international calls, and 008, 005, 006 in the future). Free competition provides high quality services to consumers. To be internationally competitive. For example, in the case of long distance calls, users can use the 082 service to reduce the rate of up to 9% compared to the existing long distance calls, but they are reluctant to use them because of the trouble of using them. In addition, if a separate local telephone operator is selected or another service is implemented in the future, a separate identification number will also be assigned, and the user has to remember and press a phone number as many as the service type, so it is inconvenient for a more complicated call system. Will feel.

A phone that can alleviate this inconvenience is a phone with a memory function. However, the purpose of the phone is to make a phone number suitable for use as a shortcut by assigning a specific phone number to a memory key button independently. will be. It is possible to store and use the identification number in each memory key button as a phone capable of memory.However, the life of the backup battery for the memory may vary or be erased due to mishandling. Because it is configured separately, it is difficult to use in general, and since this key button is assigned a vague number such as M1, M2, M3 ...., it is possible for anyone other than the actual memory to be executed. Not knowing which number is assigned to, you can't use it smoothly, and even the person who runs out of memory forgets it over time, making it difficult to use properly.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems. The object of the present invention is to assign each identification number to one key button (hereinafter referred to as one-touch key button) by hardware rather than a memory method, so that the user arranges the phone with a basic key button. When using the identification number of the corresponding service is to provide a phone with a one-touch key button, characterized in that the simple use of the key button once.

Another object of the present invention by attaching the corresponding identification number to the one-touch key button, the phone having a one-touch key button characterized in that the user immediately finds and uses the corresponding service one-touch key button without the need to memorize each identification number In providing.

In order to achieve the above object, a feature of this product is a telephone for making an international call, a long distance call, a mobile phone, a personal pager, etc. using an identification number; When the user uses the service, the identification number is allocated to the one-touch key button by hardware rather than the memory method, and placed in the same way as the basic dial on the phone dial. This eliminates the inconvenience of dialing all of the identification numbers because the user can use the service by pressing a single key button. In addition, by attaching each identification number directly to the one-touch key button like a basic key button (eg 001, 002, 082, 015, etc.), the user can easily distinguish and use the phone. If all the identification numbers are assigned to the one-touch keybuttons, the number of one-touch keybuttons increases. Therefore, the telephone generally includes a user-defined button 20 that can be installed by default at the time of manufacturing only the one-touch key button commonly used, and assigns an identification number to one key button through a simple operation of the user. The user-defined button is designed to assign an identification number frequently used by the user and to use the same button as the one-touch key button described above.
