Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the number of digits of dial by synthesizing a dial number based on the instructions of an outgoing dial, a dial number, and a continuous dial completion button. CONSTITUTION:Its own telephone number is registered on a telephone set 1 by the operation of a user, and it is registered on memory 9 by a storage means 7, and a means 5 which instructs dial working specification for dial abbreviation by the depressing operation of an outgoing button is operated, and the dial working specification can be recognized. Furthermore, a dial number is stored in the memory 9 by dialing an opposite number, and a dial completion button 2 which instructs dial synthesis based on its own telephone number is depressed. Therefore, the opposite number is generated by synthesizing its own telephone number with the dial number by a means 6 which synthesizes dial information based on a reception dial and the working specification in the telephone set 1. Outgoing is issued to an exchange by performing processing in the telephone set 1, and a synthesized dial number is sent out as the opposite number.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention aims to shorten the number of dialed digits without having to dial all digits of the dial number when transferring extensions using a PBX or when making consecutive calls to multiple parties in the same area. Regarding the abbreviated dialing method.

[0002] There is a method for shortening frequently used dial numbers to 2 or 3 digit dial numbers and registering them, and calling frequently used destinations using the registered speed dials. This method has already been applied to both telephones and PBX extension subscribers, but with the recent increase in the number of dialed digits of telephone numbers, there is a desire for a method that eliminates dialing operations for subscribers as much as possible.

[0003] Recently, when using a telephone within a business office, there are many cases in which a call addressed to another person is answered and transferred. For example, ■ When the phone is picked up instead of the one that is calling, ■ When the caller is transferred to another party because the other party is not present, ■ When the call is forwarded after answering with Direct In, ■ When the dialing by the group representative function and the receiving phone do not match, etc. This will become more pronounced as the density of telephones increases in the future (one per person). These transfer operations require (response) - transfer instruction (press transfer button or hooking + special number) - extension number. In addition, the following trends apply to office telephones.・
As business establishments grow larger, extension numbers become four or five digits.・The person you are transferring to is often close to your seat, and the extension number is often one or two digits different. In such cases, frequent transfer operations are cumbersome, and simplification is desired.

[0004] Next, when using a telephone under a general central office exchange, it is more convenient to have fewer digits to dial, but at present it is necessary to dial all the numbers of the other party. That is, if you are within the city, you need to dial "local code + other party's number", and if you are outside the city, you need to dial "0 + area code + local code + other party's number". For local dialing, "0 + area code"
It would be convenient if ``local area code'' could be omitted even in the case of the same local area code.

[0005] Also, when making consecutive calls to the same area outside the city, it is necessary to dial all digits from the same area code, but it would be convenient if the same number range as the previous call (dial) could be omitted. It is.

[0006]

[Prior Art] Current business private branch exchanges (PBXs) and central office exchanges only accept dials sent from telephone terminals as 1
Digits are received one by one, and the number of remaining digits is determined each time, and the number of digits to be received is determined based on the dialed content. Furthermore, the routing and destination are determined only based on the received dial information. Therefore, it is essential to dial all the digits of a predetermined number.

The current method for determining the number of received digits is shown in FIG. In the figure, (a) shows the case of a business private branch exchange (PBX), and (b) shows the case of a central office exchange. The figure shows a situation in which the number of remaining dialed digits is determined by the first dialed digit.

In the case of FIG. 6(a), when the first dialed number is 1, it is determined that it is a 3-digit special number such as (110, 109, 104), and the number confirmation is performed when the remaining 2 digits are dialed. Waiting until finished. Similarly, when the first dialed digits are 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, it is determined that it is a 4-digit extension number, and the number confirmation waits until the remaining 3 digits have been dialed. Similarly, when the number is 7, it is determined that it is a toll dial by an 8-digit dedicated line, and the number is confirmed while waiting for the remaining 7 digits to be dialed. Similarly, if it is 8, it is a 3-digit fixed abbreviated dial, if it is 9, it is a 1-digit number to connect to a local new business telephone company, and if it is 0, it is determined to be a 1-digit number to connect to an NTT office line.

In the case of FIG. 6(b), when the first dialed number is 1, it is determined that it is a 3-digit special number and the remaining 2 digits are 2, 3, and 4, and when it is 2, 3, or 4, it is Yokohama, Kawasaki city (4XX-XXXX). It is determined that the phone number is 7 digits (remaining 6 digits) with a 3 digit local code such as 5, 6, 7.
, 8, or 9, it is determined that the phone number is an 8-digit (remaining 7 digits) phone number with a 4-digit local area code such as Tokyo (5XXX-XXXX). If the first dialed number is 0, it is determined to be an area code, if the second dialed number is 1, it is determined to be Hokkaido, if it is 2, it is determined to be the Tohoku area, if it is 3, it is determined to be the Tokyo area, and if it is 03, it is determined to be the area code. If the third dialed number is 1, it is a Tokyo special number (031XX)
If the remaining 2 digits are 2, then it is the 3 digit area code of Tokyo (032XX
-XXXX), there are 6 digits remaining, and if it is 3, it is determined that there are 7 digits remaining, which is the 4-digit Tokyo station code (033XXXX-XXXX). 0
When it is 0, it is determined that the connection is to a new business telephone company or another network such as KDD.

0010

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As stated above, current PBXs and central office exchanges determine the number of remaining digits based on the first digit of the dial sent from the telephone terminal; The system waits for the end of the dialing process to confirm the number, and determines routing and the other party based only on the received dialing information. Therefore, it is necessary to dial all the digits of a predetermined number of digits.

[0011] The present invention adds a processing function to the telephone or exchange in addition to the conventional method of determining the number of digits and the method of routing/destination. To shorten the number of dialed digits without having to dial all the digits of a dialed number when making a phone call.

0012

[Means for Solving the Problems] A diagram of the principle configuration of the present invention is shown in FIG. In the figure, 1 is a telephone, 2 is a dial end button that instructs dial synthesis based on the own telephone number, 3 is a continuous dial end button that instructs dial synthesis based on the previous dial, and 4 is an instruction to finish dialing from the calling subscriber. 5 is a means for instructing a dial processing type for dialing omission from a calling subscriber; 6 is a means for synthesizing dial information based on the received dial and processing type; 7 is a means for storing the own telephone number; 8 is a means for storing the previous telephone number. Means for storing the number of the called party, 9 indicates a memory.

The above-mentioned telephone set 1 is configured to synthesize a dialed number based on a calling subscriber number, a dialed number, and an instruction from a dialing end button 2, and a dialed number is synthesized by a previous dialing number, a dialed number, and an instruction from a continuous dialing end button 3. Configure to synthesize.
