Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a button telephone device that displays one piece of information constituting a plurality of screens when on-hook.

2. Description of the Related Art A button telephone device equipped with a display panel capable of displaying multiple lines of data usually displays a specific screen, such as a menu screen, when on-hook, and when a desired information screen is desired to be displayed. It is configured to be selected from a menu screen.

According to such a device, necessary information can be selected from a menu, and operational errors can be prevented.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, when on-hook, a specific screen, such as the menu screen, is always displayed as the default;
Even for those who are accustomed to the operation, it is inconvenient that menu selection operations are required each time, which is troublesome.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a button telephone device that can display specific information when on-hook without requiring menu selection operations. Our goal is to provide the following.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve such problems, the present invention provides data storage means for storing a plurality of pieces of information as files, and a menu selection for selecting and specifying information in the storage means for each file. means, initial screen designation data storage means for storing data designating one of the files, and control means for outputting file information to the display means based on the initial screen designation data storage means when on-hook. Ta.

Function: The screen to be displayed can be determined based on the data stored in the on-hook screen memory, eliminating the need for menu selection operations.

Embodiments The present invention will now be described in detail based on illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of a button telephone to which the present invention is applied, and reference numeral 1o in the figure indicates a telephone main body 11.
a display device 12 such as a liquid crystal display panel capable of displaying multiple lines of information with an information processing section integrated into the;
It is equipped with a keyboard section 13 for inputting and selecting information, and includes data input keys 14, a menu key 15 for specifying the display of a menu screen, and screen scroll keys 16, 17.
, and a selection key 18 for specifying information to be displayed based on the menu screen. In addition, the number 19 in the figure
2 indicates a dial key for inputting a telephone number, and 20 indicates a handset.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an apparatus showing an embodiment of the present invention, and reference numeral 1 in the figure is a microcomputer consisting of a CPU 2, RAM 3, and ROM 4. In addition to controlling access to the data storage circuit 5 in response to key human power of the information processing unit 10, the initial screen designation data storage circuit 6, which will be described later,
is programmed to select the display screen based on the data. As shown in Fig. 3, this data storage circuit 5 stores information such as the menu selection screen, the function button screen (g), the telephone number book screen (c), etc. in files. There is.

Reference numeral 6 denotes the above-mentioned initial screen designation data storage circuit, which is configured to store data that designates one piece of data in the data storage circuit 5, such as a file name.

In this embodiment, a specific screen, for example, a function explanation screen, is displayed when on-hook. At this stage, if you want to display the telephone number book screen (see Figure 3), for example, if you press the menu button 15, the microcomputer 1 reads the file for the menu selection screen (see Figure 3) from the data storage circuit 5. , this is displayed on the display 12. In this state, the selection button 18 is used to select the telephone number book screen. The microcomputer 1 reads the telephone number book screen file from the data storage circuit 5 and causes the display 12 to display the telephone number index. This makes it possible to search for the other party's phone number.

On the other hand, some users may want to display a specific screen, such as the phone directory screen, when on-hook, without going through the two-step operations such as selecting the menu and selecting the phone number as described above. There is.

In such a case, press the selection key 1 while the menu screen is displayed.
8 to specify "Initial screen settings".

When the electronic telephone number book is then selected, the microcomputer 1 stores the file name, etc. of the data storage circuit 5 containing the telephone number book in the initial screen designation data storage circuit 6.

In this state, when the on-hook state is established, the microcomputer 1 accesses the initial screen specification data storage circuit 6 in response to a signal from the on-hook detection circuit 22, and displays the data specified by the file name stored here. is read out from the data storage circuit 5.

As a result, the microcomputer 1 displays the telephone number book screen on the display 12 without waiting for a special key operation.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention includes a data storage means for storing a plurality of pieces of information as files, a menu selection means for selecting and specifying information in the storage means for each file, and a data storage means for storing a plurality of pieces of information as files, a menu selection means for selecting and specifying information in the storage means for each file, and a data storage means for storing a plurality of pieces of information as files. Since it is equipped with an initial screen specification data storage means for storing data specifying the initial screen specification data storage means and a control means for outputting file information to the display means based on the initial screen specification data storage means at the time of on-hook, it is possible to display the screen required by the user. By simply storing data specifying the information, the information required by the user can be displayed when the user is on-hook without going through menu selection operations, thereby improving usability.
