A message memory 19 consisting of a number and a file number indicating a data file of the button telephone number stored in the personal computer, and a data group of the button telephone number of the notification destination in the file corresponding to the aforementioned file number are temporarily stored. It includes a memory section 21 including a work memory 20 that is used at times, and a main control section 22 for controlling these sections. The main device 13 also accommodates a data conversion device 14 . The data conversion device 14 is a device that converts data transmission and reception between the main device 13 and the personal computer 15, and is controlled by the data input/output control section 23 within the main device 13. The data input/output control section 23 is controlled by the main control section 22, and sends data to the personal computer 15 via the data conversion device 14, and receives data from the personal computer 15.

The button telephone A accesses a file stored in the personal computer 15 (see FIG. 7) and presses the dial button to input the special number for notifying the message, the pattern number for the message to be notified, and the notification time. The main control unit 22 retrieves the notification destination button telephone number data group from the personal computer 15 via the telephone interface 16, receives the message pattern number and notification time data, and stores each in the message memory 19 (see FIG. 4). Set data. However, when setting
Referring to the notification time data section in the message memory 19,
Arrange and set the clocks in ascending order of time.

(See Figure 6).

The main control unit 22 periodically controls the first
The main control section 22 refers to the time of the data, and when it becomes equal to the clock data in the main device, the main control section 22 controls the data input/output control section 23.
The file number data of the first data in the message memory 19 is transmitted to the personal computer 15. At the same time, a command is sent from the personal computer side to the data input/output control unit side (main control unit side) to transmit the button telephone number data group of the file corresponding to the file number stored in the personal computer 15 as a file.

Personal computer 15, which has received the command to transmit button telephone number data, transmits a group of button telephone number data corresponding to the file number (see FIG. 7) to data input/output control section 23.

The data input/output control unit 23, which has received the button telephone number data group, temporarily stores the button telephone number data group in the work memory unit 20 (see FIG. 5).
