BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to communication devices, and more particularly to a method for preventing erroneous transmission in devices having functions such as speed dialing and auto dialing.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a method for preventing erroneous transmission due to operator's misreading or inputting a dial number in a communication device equipped with an automatic call making/receiving function such as a teletex device or facsimile device is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-200058. and as described in JP-A No. 2-200059.

0003

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] In the above-mentioned prior art, no consideration is given to the points related to speed dialing and auto dialing, and when using speed dialing and auto dialing, if a wrong number is dialed, the user is not aware of the mistake. There have been problems such as multiple people repeatedly sending confidential documents to unreasonable recipients, or waking up recipients by calling the wrong number in the middle of the night, causing a great deal of trouble.

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to prevent erroneous transmission by checking the consistency of the dialed number when registering the dialed number for speed dialing or auto dialing, which can cause serious damage since it is repeatedly used if it is registered incorrectly. It's about doing.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention enables the dial number to be entered twice when registering a dial number for speed dialing or auto dialing, and the dial number entered the first time and the dial number entered the second time to be registered. When the numbers match, the system registers speed dials and auto dials for the first time. Therefore, the dial number of the speed dial or auto dial input for the first time is temporarily stored inside the device, and this dial number is compared with the dial number input for the second time. Prevention method.

[0006]

[Function] In the present invention, when registering a dial number for speed dialing or auto dialing, by repeating the dial number input twice, the communication device itself performs a double check, so that the operator misreads the dial number or makes an input error. This is a method that can minimize human errors caused by, etc.

06 is the WP control circuit 25 through the memory control unit 305.
The communication program memory 306 is configured to be accessible from both the communication CPU 301 and the communication program memory 306.
Both parties exchange control through the specified area of . Since the main body control section 25 and the communication control section 28 are operated by separate power supplies, both can execute their respective functions even if the other side is not powered on.

The FDDs 24 and 27 drive floppy disks, which are magnetic storage media, and record information from and read information from the floppy disks. Openings for FDDs 24 and 27 related to the temporary storage section are provided substantially at the front of the main body 20 and the communication device 26.

Note that one of the floppy disks housed in the FDD 24 stores a program for realizing the functions of a word processor, and the other stores a document created by the word processor. Also, F
A floppy disk housed in the DD 27 stores a program for controlling communication, and also temporarily records transmitted/received documents and communication results.

Next, the overall operation of the teletex device will be explained. That is, when the power 260 is turned on in the above configuration, the word processor
It starts operating as a word processor in accordance with the program that is stored on the floppy disk set in D24 and has the flow shown in FIG.

On the other hand, the communication device 26 also has an FDD 27.

See No. 2-188458.

Next, dial number registration for abbreviated dialing (hereinafter referred to as registered destination) in the transmission process will be explained with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.

[0024] CR for new registration or update of registered destination
Since a screen as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the T-monitor 23, dialing of the registered destination is performed according to the flow as shown in FIG. At the time of new registration or update, the dial information of the destination is entered from this screen using the keyboard 21. When the input is completed, a key input to that effect (hereinafter referred to as the execution key) is made from the keyboard 21. First, it is determined whether the input dial number is the second time, and if it is not the second time, it is stored in the communication program memory 306. will be temporarily memorized and prompt the operator to enter the dialed number again. The operator enters the destination dial information again on keyboard 2.
When you press the execution key after inputting from 1, it is first determined whether the dialed number entered is the second time, and if it is the second time, the first dialed number and the second dialed number are compared and they match. If so, floppy disk controller 307
It is registered in the registered destination area of the FDD 27 via the . If the verification results do not match, the registration will be prohibited and the operator will be asked whether or not to re-enter the number, and if it is re-entered, the previously entered dial number will be cleared and the number will be entered again from the first time. It turns out.

[0025]

[Effects of the Invention] The purpose of the present invention is that when registering a dial number for speed dialing or auto dialing, which can cause serious damage because it is repeatedly used if it is registered incorrectly, the dial number is input twice, and the dial number is input the first time. By comparing the entered dial number with the second input dial number, incorrect dialing can be eliminated and erroneous transmission can be prevented.
