PURPOSE:To improve a service function by storing plural numbers of opposite parties in one abbreviated number or one touch key and automatically dialling to a subsequent opposite party when a system is not connected to the originating opposite party of an abbreviated dial or one touch dial. CONSTITUTION:A connection propriety decision part 2 decides whether the system is connected to the opposite party or not after a dial signal is transmitted, and transmits the information to a control part 3. When the control part 3 receives information on connection denial from the connection propriety decision part 2, it control a storage part 4 by using a stored address, reads a one- touch key number corresponding to the address and reads the opposite party number corresponding to the subsequent address of the address of the same one touch key number and the address which is temporarily stored. The control part 3 which obtains the subsequent opposite party number controls a dial signal transmission part 5, transmits restoration information to a telephone exchange, transmits re-calling information and transmits the opposite party number to the telephone exchange as the dial signal.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to automatic dialing systems for telephones or telephone exchanges;
More specifically, the present invention relates to an automatic dialing system that allows a user to memorize a series of telephone numbers with a large number of digits in advance in a telephone or a telephone exchange, and then dial the telephone number of the other party with a simple operation.

(Prior art) In the conventional automatic dialing system, one destination telephone number is stored in one abbreviated number or one one-touch key.
．． The user was able to automatically dial only one destination with a single operation.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) In the conventional automatic dialing system, only one telephone number of the other party is stored in one abbreviated number or ID: one one-touch key. The destination is busy! connection was not made in the event of a failure, regulation, failure, etc. In such a case, it is necessary to dial another destination number related to the other party, but if the abbreviated number is registered, the same operation as the first operation must be performed.

If there are multiple destinations you are trying to connect to, and you only need to be able to connect to one of them, you will need to repeat the same automatic dialing operation in sequence if the other party's phone number or restrictions or malfunction occur. There was a drawback that it had to be done.

In addition, space constraints arise due to the miniaturization of telephones,
There are fewer places where touch keys can be installed, and the number of destinations that can be stored is also reduced, making it impossible to fully utilize the memory capacity of the storage unit.

Furthermore, in the representative number system, which is the conventional technology for telephone exchanges, the selection of telephone numbers in one box is semi-fixed depending on the greatest common denominator combination of the entire exchange or the convenience of the called party. Since each caller has
The drawback was that it was not possible to freely decide on a combination and receive similar services.

The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks.When there are a plurality of parties to which a call is made, even if the first party is not connected, it is possible to make a call again.

It allows you to automatically call the next destination without any additional operations, and makes full use of the storage capacity. It also provides service functions similar to the main number service, which is a common service of telephone exchanges. The purpose is to provide a step-by-step automatic dialing system that allows users to freely set groups.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the step automatic dialing method according to the present invention is a speed dialing method in which the operation of dialing a series of destination telephone numbers from a telephone is performed by dialing a number of several digits. 1) Automatic dialing methods for telephones or telephone exchanges, including the one-touch key method, which is performed by one operation of a key provided to correspond to the other party.
a storage unit that stores multiple destination phone numbers in one abbreviated number or one touch key; a dial signal sending unit that sends out a dial signal corresponding to the call number; and a connection that determines whether or not there is a connection with the other party. Accesses the storage section based on the shortened letter number or one-touch key inputted from the availability determination section and the key section, and selects the highest priority telephone number among the plurality of other party's telephone numbers stored corresponding to the shortened number or one-touch key. the dialing signal sending unit sends a corresponding dialing signal to the line, and when the connection determination unit sends out information regarding connection failure with the other party in response to the call, the storage unit is accessed again. The control means reads out the first priority telephone number and performs the same operation as that for the highest priority telephone number.

The above operation is repeated on the terminal 1 connected to the other party or on the user's end-of-call operation box.

(Example) The present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to one drawing.

This example describes only the parts directly related to the present invention. Key unit 1° that sends information on the number keys and various function keys operated by the user to the control unit 4; Dial signal sending unit 5 that sends dial signals to the switchboard; A connection possibility determination unit 2 that determines that connection has not been possible on the exchange side. A control section 3 is provided which has the functions of a storage section 4 and a control means for storing the destination number of the automatic dialing function.

According to the present invention, the operations performed by the user include an operation for storing the telephone number of the other party and an automatic dialing operation.

(Destination Number Memory Operation) (1) In order to memorize the destination number, the user performs key operations in a prescribed manner and dials the destination number corresponding to the one-touch key or abbreviated number.

(2) If a plurality of destination numbers are to be stored, after the operation in (1), a key operation is performed to identify the dialing of the destination number.

Continue to dial the next destination number. After that, repeat this operation as many times as you need to.

(3) If only one destination is required in the above file, or if all necessary destinations have been dialed in (2) above, an operation is performed to identify the end of the storage operation.

(4) Based on the operations (1) to (3) above, the control unit 3
Each operation is identified, and the storage unit 4 is accessed to store one or more destination numbers corresponding to the touch key number or @ line number with the contents as shown in FIG. 2, for example.

(Automatic dialing operation) fl) The user operates keys in a prescribed manner to perform automatic dialing using touch keys or abbreviated numbers.

(2) For example, when the telephone is in an empty state, one-touch key number 1 is pressed.

(3) The control unit 3 identifies that the operation is for automatic dialing and that it is one-touch key number 1, and controls the storage unit 4 to select one-touch key 1 from the memory with the contents shown in FIG.
The internal liquid address 0000 of the addresses 0000 to 0002 specified by the number is temporarily stored. and,
The corresponding destination number AAAA is read from the storage unit 4.

(4) Having obtained the destination number AAAA, the control section 3 controls the dial signal sending section 5'ft to send call information to a telephone exchange (not shown), and then sends the destination number AAAA as a dial signal to the telephone exchange.

(5) After transmitting the dial signal, the connection possibility determining unit 2 determines whether or not the destination is connected using one of the following methods or a combination thereof, and sends the information to the control unit 3.
