Description

Special service setting indicators for telephones and telephones with built-in equipment

The present invention relates to a special service setting display device for a telephone. In more detail, the telephone company provides the subscribers with special services such as an incoming call transfer service, a designated time notification service, a missed notice service, a speed dial service, and a direct telephone service through the telephone exchange. The present invention relates to a setting display device capable of visually displaying the setting contents of this special service and a telephone with the setting display device.

As mentioned above, the national or private telephone office provides various special services to subscribers through the electronic exchange. For a clearer understanding, the functions of a special service provided by a telephone company are as follows.

1. Call forwarding service-The subscriber is not available or there is a state that can not answer the incoming call. At this time, the incoming call is a service that automatically switches to another phone number or a number such as beep that the person who is currently absent.

In the case of an incoming call transfer service provided by a telephone station, a setting method and a setting method performed by a user in a telephone are as follows.

Settings: * + 88 + Called Phone Number + *

Unset: # + 88 + *

When the setting and the setting are made in this way, the telephone exchange's electronic switchboard informs the user that the setting and the setting is completed by simple sound information (for example, simple music of about 2-3 seconds in length). After the setting is completed, the method of checking whether or not the setting is normally performed is performed by sound information coming out of the receiver.

Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the telephone set is set as a "set telephone", and when there is a call coming from the "set telephone" in another place, the telephone to be called is called "switched telephone". However, the method of confirming the telephone number of the switched telephone set in the set telephone is impossible to confirm other than the method of calling the set telephone with a third telephone and confirming that the switched telephone is received.

2. Designated time notification service-Ringing the alarm so as not to forget the appointment time or to do. When you receive a call when the bell rings, you will be guided. The setting and unsetting method is as follows.

Setting: * + 77 + Specified Time + *

Unset: # + 77 + *

On and off setting is confirmed by sound information. However, there is no way to check whether or not the setting is normally, and there is no way to check the setting time. Therefore, the user cannot wait until the setting time and confirm the setting time and setting by the ringtone.

3. Out of Office Information Service-When you can not answer the phone, such as after work or when you are out of the function that informs the person who called. The setting and unsetting method is as follows.

Settings: * + 66 + *

Unset: # + 66 + *

On and off setting is confirmed by sound information. When you pick up the phone, you usually hear melody. However, it is not clear what service this melody has set up. Therefore, check by dialing the set phone directly.

4. Speed Dial Service-This function is to dial a long number by reducing the number to 2 digits. The setting and unsetting method is as follows.

Settings: * + 99 + Speed Dial + Shortcut Phone Number + *

Off: # + 99 + Speed dial + *

On and off setting is confirmed by sound information. After setting, you can check the setting status and setting contents by dialing all the speed dial numbers.

5. Direct telephone service-When using as a regular customer or emergency, if you hold the handset for about 5 seconds, it automatically connects to the designated telephone number. The setting and unsetting method is as follows.

Setting: * + 77 + Specified Time + *

Unset: # + 77 + *

On and off setting is confirmed by sound information. Normally, call the set-up phone to check directly (when using as an emergency call, it can be mistaken for emergency).

In such a special service, the setting status can only be known through the sound information for a few seconds sent by the electronic exchange at the time when the setting (including setting cancellation) is made. In addition, the set-up telephone is normally used only for incoming call transfer and missed guidance. You can check the setting by handset. However, it is quite inconvenient to check whether the setting as well as the set contents (that is, the set telephone number) as described above, and it is wasteful because most of the telephone calls must be made directly to confirm the setting.

In addition, it is inconvenient to always check and release the setting contents due to the nature of modern people. For example, if you set up a call forwarding service when you go out and do not release the call forwarding after returning home, the call is dialed only to another place, that is, the transfer phone. An example like this is a common case that can be experienced in reality.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a conventional problem, and visually set the contents set by the general telephone regarding the special service provided by the local or private telephone station without taking action such as making a separate confirmation call. It is to provide a special service setting display device for a phone that can be conveniently checked at any time, and a phone with the setting display device.

As shown in FIG. 2, the setting display device 1 includes a DTMF receiver 10, a CPU 20, a nonvolatile memory device 30, a setting state display unit 50, a setting contents checking unit 70, and a first setting. The content display unit 80 and the second setting content display unit 40 are configured. The DTMF receiver 10 is directly connected to a telephone trunk line connecting the telephone A 2 and the electronic switch 4, and the type of keys input through the dial of the telephone A 2, that is, the numbers 0-9, *, # Is directly detected and sent to the CPU 20. The CPU 20 is connected to the DTMF receiver 10 to determine whether it is set or released, its setting, etc., from the output contents thereof, and is also connected to each of the above components to control them.

The memory device 30 connected to the CPU 20 functions to receive and store setting contents from the CPU 20, and to store EEPROM, FLASH memory, etc., which can store the contents even when the power supply is interrupted. Use to preserve the set data. On the contrary, even if the backup power is separately used while the memory device 30 is used as a RAM, the setting data can be preserved when the power supply is interrupted.

In addition, the setting status display unit 50 connected to the CPU 20 has a function of visually indicating what kind of special service is set based on data containing the type of special service sent by the CPU 20. In this case, it shows that the incoming call lamp 51, the designated time lamp 52, the missed guidance lamp 53, the short dial dial 54, the direct-dial phone lamp 55. However, it can be seen that various setting display functions can be added as needed. Each lamp indicating whether or not to be set uses any code (symbol) on the LED element or LCD, for example.

In addition, the setting content checking unit 70 connected to the CPU 20 includes a designated time confirmation switch 71, a speed dial confirmation switch 72, a speed dial setting number confirmation switch 73, and a direct telephone number confirmation switch 74. It also includes a number of additional confirmation switches if necessary.

In the first embodiment, a CPU 20 separate from the telephone is used. In addition, the DTMF receiver 10 receives the key input contents (dialing contents) of the telephone. However, in the second embodiment, the CPU 100 built in the telephone is used, and the DTMF receiver 10 of the first embodiment is used. The difference is that it is not necessary. Otherwise, the configuration of the first and second embodiments is the same.

FIG. 4 is an example of a circuit diagram showing the configuration of the first embodiment in more detail, and when applied to the second embodiment, a detailed circuit diagram can be easily inferred by those skilled in the art. It may be omitted. And it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes are possible.

Next, referring to FIGS. 5A to 5E, the operation of the setting display device according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described separately for each special service type.

(Call forwarding service)

First, it is checked through the DTMF receiver 10 and the CPU 20 whether or not it is hooked on (i.e., the receiver is in a state for transmission) (step S2). When the hook-on is confirmed in step S2, the DTMF receiver 10 first checks whether the first input key dialed in the telephone A2 is "*" or "#" (step S3), and the second setting contents. The input keys are sequentially displayed on the display unit 40 (repeats until the * key is input) (step S4). After confirming that the first three key input contents are " * 88 " (step S6), the CPU 20 judges the incoming call transfer service and determines that the second set contents display section 40 has a switched telephone, that is, telephone B ( The telephone number of 3) is displayed, and the incoming call lamp 51 of the setting state display unit 50 is turned on (step S18). Then, the setting contents of step S18 are stored in the nonvolatile memory element 30 (waiting for 3 seconds) (step S28). Subsequently, the setting contents are displayed in the first setting contents display unit 80 or the second setting contents display unit 40 according to their priority in steps S29 to S35. That is, the designated time confirmation switch 71 (step S29), the speed dial confirmation switch 72 (step S30), the speed dial setting number confirmation switch 73 (step S31), the direct telephone number confirmation switch 74 (step S32) If all of the incoming call lamps 51 of step S18 are maintained while all are not ON, the process proceeds to step S42 where the phone number of the switching telephone B3 is displayed on the second setting contents display section 40. The display operation of the setting contents is finished in the state.

Then, when the setting of the incoming call forwarding service is released, if the first 3rd dialing input key of the telephone A2 after hook-on is detected as "# 88" (step S11), the CPU 20 switches the incoming call. The incoming call lamp 51 is turned off in response to the setting of the service being canceled, and the switching telephone number of the second setting contents display section 40, that is, the telephone number of the telephone B3, is erased (step S23), and the setting of step S23 is cancelled. The contents are stored in the nonvolatile memory element 30 (step S28).

(Designated Time Notification Service)

First, the DTMF receiver 10 and the CPU 20 confirm whether or not the hook is on (step S2). When the hook-on is confirmed in step S2, the DTMF receiver 10 first checks whether the first input key dialed in the telephone A2 is "*" or "#" (step S3), and the second setting contents. The input keys are sequentially displayed on the display unit 40 (repeats until the * key is input) (step S4). After confirming that the first three key input contents are " * 77 " (step S7), the CPU 20 judges the designated time notification service and assigns the second set contents display section 40 according to the key input contents. The time is displayed (for example, "1320" is input to indicate 1:20 pm), and the designated time lamp 52 of the setting state display unit 50 is turned on (step S19). Then, the setting contents of step S19 are stored in the nonvolatile memory device 30 (3 second wait) (step S28). Thereafter, the setting contents are displayed in the first setting contents display section 40 or the second setting contents display section 40 in accordance with the priority in steps S29-S35. That is, all of the designated time confirmation switch 71 (step S29), the speed dial confirmation switch 72 (step S30), the speed dial setting number confirmation switch 73 (step S31), and the direct telephone confirmation switch (step S32) If the lighting state of the designated time lamp 52 of step S20 is maintained while not being ON, the process proceeds to step S43 and the display operation of the set contents is finished with the designated time displayed on the second setting contents display section 40. .

Further, even when the designated time is cleared in the second setting contents display section 40, the designated time is set via the second setting contents display section 40 at any time when the designated time confirming switch 71 is turned ON (step S29). It can confirm (step S36).

Then, when the setting of the designated time notification service is canceled, if the first 3rd dialing input key of the telephone A2 after hook-on is detected as "# 77" (step S12), the CPU 20 informs the designated time notification. The predetermined time lamp 52 is turned off in response to the setting of the service being canceled, and the designated time displayed on the second setting content display section 40 is erased (step S24), and the setting release content of step S24 is set to the nonvolatile memory device 30. (3 seconds wait) (step S28).

(Out of office guidance service)

First, the DTMF receiver 10 and the CPU 20 confirm whether or not the hook is on (step S2). When the hook-on is confirmed in step S2, the DTMF receiver 10 first checks whether the first input key dialed in the telephone A2 is "*" or "#" (step S3), and the second setting contents. The input keys are sequentially displayed on the display unit 40 (repeats until the * key is input) (step S4). After confirming that the first three key input contents are " * 66 " (step S8), the CPU 20 judges the absence guidance service and removes all contents displayed on the second setting contents display section 40 up to now. The missed guidance lamp 53 of the setting state display part 50 is turned on (step S20). Then, the setting contents of step S20 are stored in the nonvolatile memory element 30 (3 second wait) (step S28).

The flow then advances to step S44 to end the display operation of the setting contents.

Then, when canceling the setting of the absence guidance service, if it detects that the dialing input key of the first 3rd telephone A2 after hook-on is "# 66" (step S13), the CPU 20 of the absence guidance service The absence guidance lamp 53 is turned off (Step S25), and the setting release contents of Step S25 are stored in the nonvolatile memory device 30 (3 second wait) (Step S28).

(Speed Dial Service)

First, the DTMF receiver 10 and the CPU 20 confirm whether or not the hook is on (step S2). When the hook-on is confirmed in step S2, the DTMF receiver 10 first checks whether the first input key dialed in the telephone A2 is "*" or "#" (step S3), and the second setting contents. The input keys are sequentially displayed on the display unit 40 (repeats until the * key is input) (step S4). After confirming that the first three key input contents are " * 99 " (step S9), the CPU 20 judges that the speed dial service is to determine the fourth and fifth numbers of the key input sequence as the "shortcut number". Recognized and displayed on the first setting contents display section 80, a number from the sixth to last time of the key input sequence indicating the end key is displayed on the second setting contents display section 40, and the setting status display section 50 is displayed. The single axis dial 54 is turned on, and a flag corresponding to the short axis number is set (step S21). Then, the setting contents of the step S21 are stored in the nonvolatile memory element 30 (3 second wait) (step S28). Subsequently, the setting contents are displayed in the first setting contents display unit 80 or the second setting contents display unit 40 according to their priority in steps S29 to S35. That is, when the designated time confirmation switch 71 is turned OFF (step S29), and the speed dial confirmation switch 72 is turned ON (step S30), the first setting content display section 80 is sequentially made in accordance with the set order. ), The shortcut number is indicated by two digits, and the second setting contents display section 40 displays the telephone number corresponding to the currently displayed shortcut number (step S37). When the speed dial setting number confirmation switch 73 is turned ON (step S31), the number of speed dials set so far is displayed on the first setting content display section, and the second setting content display section 40 is cleared (step S40). )

Then, when setting the speed dial service off, if it detects that the dialing input key of the first 3rd telephone A2 after hook-on is "# 99" (step S14), the CPU 20 performs the speed dial service. It is determined that the setting is canceled, and the speed dial number and the corresponding telephone number corresponding to the fourth and fifth key inputs are deleted from the setting contents of the speed dial service, and the flag is released (reset) (step S26). Thereafter, the procedure proceeds to step S45 to check whether at least one flag is set. If none of the flags are set (i.e., if the set number of the speed dials is 0), the process proceeds to step S47 to turn off the speed dial 54 and turns off the flag. If any one is set (set), the flow advances to step S46 to maintain the lighting state of the single-axis dial 54. Thereafter, the setting release contents of steps S26, S46, and S47 are stored in the nonvolatile memory device 30 (step S28).

(Direct phone service)

First, the DTMF receiver 10 and the CPU 20 confirm whether or not the hook is on (step S2). When the hook-on is confirmed in step S2, the DTMF receiver 10 first checks whether the first input key dialed in the telephone A2 is "*" or "#" (step S3), and the second setting contents. The input keys are sequentially displayed on the display unit 40 (repeats until the * key is input) (step S4). After confirming that the first three key input contents are " * 33 " (step S10), the CPU 20 judges the direct dial telephone service to display the direct dial telephone number on the second setting contents display section 40, and sets it. The direct telephone lamp 55 of the status display part 50 is turned on (step S22). Then, the setting contents of the step S22 are stored in the nonvolatile memory device 30 (3 second wait) (step S28).

Subsequently, the setting contents are displayed in the first setting contents display unit 80 or the second setting contents display unit 40 according to their priority in steps S29 to S35. That is, the direct telephone confirmation switch when the designated time confirmation switch 71 (step S29), the speed dial confirmation switch 72 (step S30), and the speed dial setting number confirmation switch 73 (step S31) are not all ON. When 74 is turned ON (73) (step S32), the flow advances to step S41 to end the display operation of the setting contents with the direct telephone number displayed on the second setting contents display unit 40.

If the direct telephone service is canceled afterwards, if the first 3rd dialing input key of the telephone A2 after hook-on is detected as "# 33" (step S15), the CPU 20 determines that the direct telephone service is disabled. Judging by the setting release, the contents of the second setting display unit 40 and the direct telephone lamp 55 are turned off (step S27), and the setting release contents of step S27 are then stored in the nonvolatile memory device 30 (three seconds). (Step S28).

The operation of the second embodiment is different from that of the first embodiment except that the CPU 100 embedded in the telephone determines the type of special service directly through the key input signal of the dialing without passing through the DTMF receiver 10 of the first embodiment. Since the operation is substantially the same, description thereof is omitted.

Although the above embodiment describes the configuration according to the service code applicable to the special service of any one telephone station as an example, it is always changed and modified accordingly when the type of special service or the method of using the service coat are different. This is possible.

According to the configuration as described above, the present invention can not only set the special service in the phone but also check the setting and setting contents at any time after the setting, thereby eliminating various inconveniences caused by setting and releasing the special service.

As mentioned above, although preferred embodiment was described, this invention is not limited to this. In other words, the method of displaying the setting contents may be changed in various ways depending on the type of special service provided by all telephone stations including private and local. Therefore, the present invention has the gist that the service setting contents between the special service provider and the subscriber can be more conveniently visually confirmed at any time. That is, the present invention will be apparent that various changes and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the following claims and their technical spirit.
