Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, in one embodiment of the present invention, a multi-function telephone 101 with a display device includes a display device 1
02, a special code input button 103 that means waiting for one-digit dialing of the function buttons, and a one-touch dial button 104 are provided.

The multifunction telephone 101 has an interface 1
05 via the main switch 106 and the central control unit 1
It is connected to 07. A memory 108 is connected to the central controller 107, and the memory 108 includes a dial information storage memory 109 that stores dial information corresponding to one-touch dial buttons.

FIG. 2 shows a storage form of the dial information in the memory 109, and FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing a processing flow of this embodiment. Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

First, when registering the dial information corresponding to the one-touch dial button 104 from the multi-function telephone 101 by a known means, "0" to "9""*""#"
In addition to the conventional number information such as, for example, the function button 10 of the multi-function telephone 101 is preliminarily provided in a portion to be dialed by manual input on the way.
Register the dial information using the special code input button, which is assigned to 1 to 3 and means waiting for one-digit dialing.

The central control unit 107 is a multifunctional telephone 10.
One-touch dial button 104 from the multi-function telephone 101 is detected after detecting the calling of No. 1 and performing calling processing such as register connection and dial tone connection by a known means.
When it is detected that the button has been pressed (step S1), the dial information corresponding to the one-touch dial button 104 is read out from the memory 109 for each digit and the content is identified (step S2). As a result of identification, "0" to "9""*""#"
