In the case of connection to a registered subscriber, the caller 2 depresses a character registration call button 21 to input character information of registration of a called party 3 from a dial key pad 24 and uses a character transmission button 23 to send the character information to a character recognition register 7. The central controller 9 receives it to reference registration information comprising the character information stored in a main storage device 8 and number information and converts the received character information into the number information. Then the called party 3 is selected to operate a channel switch 6 thereby connecting the caller 2 and the called party 3.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an abbreviated dial system used for connecting telephone subscribers to each other.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in the speed dialing system for telephone numbers, a caller sets a small number of number information corresponding to the telephone number of the subscriber he/she calls relatively frequently as a speed dial number, and then dials this number on the caller's telephone. or the storage device of the telephone switching system in which the caller's telephone is housed, and when the caller makes a call to the registered subscriber, the caller registers the above-mentioned registration information in advance. The calling party and the called party are connected by dialing the already established abbreviated number.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

An object of the present invention is to connect a calling party and a destination subscriber by dialing character information corresponding to the destination subscriber instead of the shortened number of the destination subscriber. The aim is to provide a speed dialing system that allows

[Means to solve the problem]

The speed dialing system of the present invention is provided with a storage means for storing subscriber number information of a called party and character information corresponding thereto in advance, and a receiving means for receiving the character information from a calling party, The character information received by the receiving means is configured to be converted into the subscriber number information by referring to the storage means.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram for explaining one embodiment of the present invention. The speed dialing method shown in FIG.
When connecting from C to a called party 4 accommodated in another station 11 via a communication line 10, and when connecting to a called party 5 accommodated in another private branch exchange 13 via a dedicated line 12.
It shows. In FIG. 1, a private branch exchange 1 has a communication path switch 6, a calling party 2 and a called party 3 which are not connected thereto, and which is also connected to the communication path switch 6 and transmits subscriber number information and alphabet character information. A receiving character recognition register 7, a main storage device 8 for storing subscriber number information and alphabet character information in correspondence, and a central control device 9.
It is composed of:

FIG. 2 is a view of the operation panel of the push-button telephone 20 used by the calling party 2 in FIG. In FIG. 2, the push-button telephone 20 has a character registration/call button 21 for inputting alphabet character information, a character release button 22 for canceling alphabet character information, and a character button 22 for canceling alphabet character information, and a character for making a call after inputting alphabet character information. A send button 23, a dial keypad 24 that displays alphabetic characters and numbers, and an L that displays alphabetical characters.
It includes a CD display section 25 and a handset 26.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, a case will be described in which the calling party 2 performs a pre-registration operation for connecting to the called party 3 by text dialing and an operation for connecting to a registered subscriber. In the case of a registration operation, the calling party 2 first picks up the handset 26, hears a tone from a tone generator (not shown) of the private branch exchange 1, and dials a special number for registering character information. This special number is received in a register (not shown) and transmitted to the central control bag M9. The central control device 9 identifies that this number information is a registration request for character dialing,
Selects the character recognition register 7 and sends a notification sound to the calling party 2 indicating that the character recognition register 7 is ready to receive registration information.The calling party 2 listens to this and registers the character. -Press the call button 21 to start character registration operation. First, select the called party 3 from the dial keypad 24.
Enter the phone number of 3 as number information, then enter the text information of the name of the called party 3 indicated in alphabetical letters, and finally enter the information indicating that all the predetermined information has been entered, e.g. , enter #.

To cancel registered information, press the character cancellation button 22 instead of the character registration/call button 21 described above, and perform the rest in the same manner as the registration operation.

The method for inputting character information is as follows: 0 For example, rN
To input ECJ, press the number "6" on the dial keypad 24 twice, "r N" will be displayed on the LCD display section 25, press the button to fix "N", and then press the number "6" on the dial keypad 24. Press the number "3" twice, "E" will be displayed, press X to fix "E", then press the number "2" on the dial keypad 24 three times, "C" will be displayed and press "Ko" Fix "C".

When the input of the above registration information is completed, the calling party 2 presses the character sending button 23, so that the registration information is sent as a digital signal, and the character recognition register 7 receives this. This registration information is then transmitted to the central control device 9, which stores it in the main memory bag 3!8 and displays on the LCD display section 25 that the registration has been completed.

The registration operation is now complete.

Next, in the case of a connection operation to a registered subscriber, calling party 2:
Similar to the registration operation described above, listen to the notification sound indicating that the character recognition register 7 is ready for reception, press the character registration/call button 21, and send the registered character information of the called party 3 from the dial keypad 24. Enter and press character send button 23
The character information is sent to the character recognition register 7. The central control device 9 receives this, refers to registration information consisting of character information and number information stored in the main storage device 8, and converts the received character information into number information. Then, the called party 3 is selected, the communication path switch 6 is operated, and the calling party 2 is selected.
and the called party 3 are connected.

In this embodiment, the calling party 2 registers in advance the character information of the called party 3 who is accommodated in the same private branch exchange 1, and then registers the text information of the called party 3 accommodated in the same private branch exchange 1, 1ffi9, but when connecting the calling party 2 with the called party 4 of another station and the called party 5 of another private branch exchange 13, the central control unit 9 also converts character information into numbers. After converting into information, the number can be connected by sending it to the other party's equipment from the number sending means.

If an alphabetic character that has not been registered in advance or incorrect spelling information is input, the central control unit 9 will detect it, and when the character sending button 23 is pressed, a message will be displayed on the LCD.
r indicating that the corresponding character is not registered on the display section 25
