Abstract

PURPOSE:To rewrite storage contents of plural electronic telephone directories simultaneously automatically by supplying a signal to each electronic telephone directory via a private branch of exchange installation. CONSTITUTION:An electronic telephone directory storing telephone number information is provided in plural telephone sets a1-an of a private branch of exchange respectively, a signal to rewrite the storage content of each electronic telephone directory is sent from a sending terminal equipment 1 and the signal is fed to the electronic telephone directory via a private branch of exchange installation 2. That is, simultaneous call of the reception telephone sets a1-an is applied by using a control circuit from the sending terminal equipment 1 via the private branch of exchange installation 2 and the telephone number information of the storage section is sent simultaneously to the reception telephone sets a1-an simultaneously. The telephone number information from the sending terminal equipment 1 is converted into a digital data by a MODEM at the reception telephone sets a1-an and stored in the storage section. Thus, the storage contents of the plural electronic telephone directories are rewritten simultaneously automatically in this way, then the time required for the rewrite is considerably shortened and the man-hour is saved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for rewriting the stored contents of an electronic telephone directory.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, there are commercially available telephones that connect an electronic telephone directory to the telephone line of a telephone and automatically dial telephone numbers registered in the electronic telephone directory. When rewriting the stored contents of this type of electronic telephone directory, the stored contents are rewritten for each electronic telephone directory.

[Problem to be solved] For example, when a company uses the above-mentioned electronic phone book by attaching it to each phone, many of the phone numbers registered in each electronic phone book are common; If some of the telephone numbers stored in the telephone directory are changed, a similar process of rewriting the stored contents must be performed manually for each electronic telephone directory. This takes a lot of time and effort.

An object of the present invention is to enable the contents of a plurality of electronic telephone directories to be automatically rewritten all at once.

[Means for Solving the Problem] The present invention provides an electronic telephone directory for storing telephone number information in each of a plurality of horizontal telephones, and sends a signal from a transmitting terminal to rewrite the stored contents of each electronic telephone directory. sending out,
The above problem is solved by supplying this signal to each of the above electronic telephone directories via the horizontal switching equipment.

[Example] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In FIG. 1, a1 to an are receiving terminals, each consisting of an electronic telephone directory and a private telephone.

Reference numeral 1 designates a transmitting terminal device which sends a signal for rewriting telephone number information stored in the electronic telephone directory of the receiving terminal devices a1 to a, and 2 designates a private branch exchange facility with a simultaneous paging function.

FIG. 2 shows the specific configuration of the receiving terminals a1 to a. In the figure, 3 is a line control unit that controls connection switching of the telephone line, 4 is a dialer that sends out a telephone number, 5 is a modem that converts the signal from the line control unit 3 into digital data, and 6 is a telephone number. A storage section 7 that stores information is a control circuit that performs various controls such as writing and reading telephone number information to and from the storage section 6, and these constitute an electronic telephone directory 10. 11 is a private telephone.

Further, the transmitting terminal device 1 has a configuration in which a data sending time setting circuit (not shown) is added to the configuration of the above-described receiving terminal device.

Next, the simultaneous rewriting operation of the stored contents of the receiving terminals a1 to a will be explained along the flowchart of FIG. First, in the transmitting terminal 1, the telephone number information in the storage section 6 is rewritten using the keyboard 8, and then the data sending time is set in the data sending time setting circuit (step 1).
). It is desirable to set this time to a predetermined time in the middle of the night when the telephone is not in use.

At the set time, the transmitting terminal 1 sends the control circuit 9 to the control circuit 9.
Accordingly, the receiving terminals 5 a 1 to 5 a 1 through the private branch exchange equipment 2
A simultaneous call is made to the receiving terminals a1 to an, and the telephone number information in the storage section 6 is sent to the receiving terminals a1 to an at the same time (step 2).

Next, in the receiving terminals a1-an, the telephone number information from the transmitting terminal 1 is converted into digital data by the modem 5 and stored in the storage section 6 (step 2).

Through the above operations, the stored contents of the electronic telephone directory 10 of the receiving terminals a1 to an are automatically rewritten all at once.

[Effects] According to the present invention, the stored contents of a plurality of electronic telephone directories can be automatically rewritten all at once, so that the time required for the rewriting work is significantly shortened, and the labor is also reduced. Therefore, it is extremely effective, especially in offices with many private telephones.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claims] An electronic telephone directory for storing telephone number information is provided in each of a plurality of local telephones, a signal is sent from a transmitting terminal to rewrite the stored contents of each electronic telephone directory, and this signal is sent to the local telephone directory. A method for rewriting the stored contents of an electronic telephone directory, characterized in that the stored contents of each of the electronic telephone directories are rewritten all at once by supplying the same to each electronic telephone directory through an exchange facility.
