2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a calling function by a simple operation such as a one-touch dial or a speed dial has been known in a communication device such as a telephone or a facsimile.
This function associates the telephone number of the other party with a predetermined key in advance and registers it in the memory, and by operating the corresponding key when making a call, the telephone number in the memory is read and the desired other party is called. It is to make a call. Such a function is widely used in communication devices because it saves the trouble of confirming the telephone number of the other party at the time of calling and prevents erroneous dialing. By the way, the keys for making the above-mentioned simple call are installed on the operation panel of the communication device together with other operation keys, so that there is a restriction from the viewpoint of installation space, and each simple operation key corresponds to Since a memory for storing the telephone number of the other party is required, there is a limitation in terms of memory capacity, and there is a limit to the number of other parties that can be registered by themselves.

Therefore, in order to effectively use a limited number of simple operation keys, for example, a communication device as described in JP-A-63-104555 has been conventionally proposed. In such a communication device, after the communication is completed, a check is made to prevent double registration, and a call is made to an unused one-touch dial key (hereinafter referred to as one-touch key) or a speed dial key (hereinafter referred to as a speed key). If the other party is registered and these simple operation keys (collectively referred to as one-touch keys and abbreviated keys below) are available, the called party is automatically registered in sequence, so you do not have to perform a separate registration operation. , It is possible to use the simple operation keys without making space.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned communication device, since the registration to the simple operation key is performed without considering the frequency of calling to the other party, it should be noted that the simple operation key happens to be empty. When a call is made to a partner who is not frequently called, the partner is registered, and from that point of view, it cannot be said that the limited resources are effectively utilized. Further, in the above communication device, since the other party once registered is not reviewed at all, unless the operator deletes the other party, the less frequently called party is left as registered in the simple operation key, which is valuable. The simple operation key will be occupied.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and while registering a destination with a high calling frequency in the simple operation key, a destination with a low calling frequency is stored in the simple operation key. It is an object of the present invention to provide a communication device that can be effectively used by erasing from the device and increasing the utilization rate of the limited simple operation key. It is another object of the present invention to provide a communication device that notifies an operator of a change or deletion of registered content and prevents the operator from calling an incorrect partner without knowing the correct registration status.

A calling frequency determination means, a destination registration means for registering the telephone number of the destination who has reached the registration condition in the memory, and whether or not the destination who has reached the registration condition is registered in the memory. Provided with the other party identification means for identifying, only when the other party who has reached the registration condition is not registered in the memory,
This is achieved by a communication device characterized by permitting registration by the partner registration means.

[0008] A further object of the present invention is to provide a communication device having a memory capable of registering a predetermined number of destination telephone numbers, reading the telephone numbers in accordance with a simple operation such as one-touch dialing or speed dialing, and calling the destination. In the above, in the frequency information holding means for holding the calling frequency information for each destination, after the communication is completed, it is determined whether the calling frequency to the destination reaches a predetermined registration condition based on the calling frequency information. A calling frequency determining means, a destination registering means for registering the telephone number of the destination who has reached the registration condition in the memory, and a calling destination for each destination registered in the memory based on the calling frequency information. Equipped with a judging means for judging whether or not the calling frequency has reached a predetermined erasing condition, the telephone number of the other party who has reached the registration condition is registered in the memory, while the other party who has reached the erasing condition is registered. Phone number The is achieved by a communication apparatus characterized by erasing from the memory.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a communication device which has a memory capable of registering a predetermined number of destination telephone numbers, reads out the telephone numbers according to a simple operation such as one-touch dialing or speed dialing, and makes a call to the destination. , Frequency information holding means for holding calling frequency information for each destination, and after communication is completed, based on the calling frequency information, it is determined whether or not the calling frequency for the destination has reached a predetermined registration condition.

It is a timing circuit that measures

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described. The present invention is applicable to both one-touch dials and speed dials, but in the following embodiments, the case where the present invention is applied to registration of one-touch dials will be described as an example.

Before starting the description of the operation, the management table in the present invention will be described first with reference to FIG. This management table is set in a predetermined area in the parameter memory 21. In the table, the registration status of one partner to one-touch dial, the number of calls to the partner, and the earliest call date and time. And are registered in association with each other. For convenience of explanation, the case where the number of transmission destinations is 3 is illustrated in the figure, but of course, the number is not limited to this.
It can be appropriately set if necessary.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3, but the steps in FIG. 3 are assumed to be executed by the system controller 19 unless otherwise specified. When the operator operates the operation display unit 12 to make a call from the network control unit 15 to a destination, the telephone number of the destination is temporarily stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 18, and thereafter, the facsimile device gives an instruction from the operator. The transmission operation is executed according to. When the transmission is normally completed, first, the destination telephone number stored in the RAM 18 is compared with the transmission destination column of the management table to determine whether or not the same telephone number already exists in the management table (step 301). . If the destination telephone number stored in the RAM 18 exists in the management table (step 301Y
ES), the calling number column of the corresponding transmission destination is incremented by 1 (step 302), and when the destination telephone number stored in the RAM 18 does not exist in the management table (step 301 NO), the destination in the RAM 18 The destination telephone number is transferred to the management table and stored in the transmission destination column (step 303), and the current date and time is stored in the earliest calling date and time column with reference to the clock circuit 23 (step 30).
4) The count of the number of outgoing calls is incremented by 1 (step 302).

Next, it is confirmed whether or not the calling frequency to the other party has reached a predetermined value (step 305). As a method of checking the calling frequency, in addition to the method of checking the calling frequency, per unit time. It is also possible to confirm by the number of calls.
In the former case, by referring to the number of times of calling in the calling number column, in the latter case, the elapsed time from the earliest calling is calculated based on the earliest calling date and time of the earliest calling date and time column and the current date and time by the clock circuit 23. It is calculated by dividing the number of times of calling by the calculated elapsed time (that is, the number of times of calling / (current date / time-date and time of earliest calling)). Alternatively, both may be mixed and checked by both the number of calls and the number of calls per unit time. Further, the predetermined value to be compared may be set by the manufacturer at the time of shipment in accordance with the method of confirming the calling frequency, or may be input by the operator from the operation display unit 12 and registered in the parameter memory 21 in advance. If the calling frequency does not reach the predetermined value (NO in step 305), it is determined that the calling frequency to the other party is low, and the later-described one-touch key registration operation or registered one-touch key rewriting operation is performed. This flow is ended without any.

On the other hand, if the calling frequency has reached the predetermined value (YES in step 305), then the management table is referred to and it is determined whether or not the other party is already registered in the one-touch key (step). 306). Here, to determine whether or not it has been registered, the one-touch number column of the management table is referred to, and if some number is registered like the destinations at both ends in FIG. 2, one-touch registration is completed. If the number is not registered like the other party, it can be determined that one-touch has not been registered. If such a determination is made and the destination is already registered in the one-touch key (YES in step 306), it indicates that the destination having a high calling frequency is already registered in the one-touch key. This flow ends without performing the one-touch key rewriting operation described later.

If the other party is not registered in the one-touch key (NO in step 306), the one-touch dial registration table set in the predetermined area of the parameter memory 21 is referred to, and the one-touch key is available. It is determined whether or not (step 307). If the one-touch key has a space (YES in step 307),
The destination telephone number registered in the transmission destination column of the management table is transferred to the parameter memory 21 and registered in the free space of the one-touch key (step 308), and the one-touch key registered in the one-touch number column of the management table. The number of is registered (step 309). By the above operation, the other party with a high call frequency is automatically registered in the one-touch key, and thereafter, the call using the one-touch key becomes possible.

Then, in order to notify the operator that the other party is newly registered in the one-touch key, the necessary information is converted into pattern information through the character generator 22, and the registration report is printed out from the plotter 11 (step). 310). This report includes at least the newly registered destination name, telephone number, registered one-touch key number, and a message that the one-touch key can be used from the next call to the destination. From this report, the operator recognizes that the other party is registered in the one-touch key and can use the one-touch key in the next call.

On the other hand, if the one-touch key has no vacancy (NO in step 307), the calling frequency of the registered one-touch key is confirmed by referring to the number of calls and the earliest calling date and time in the management table as in step 305. Step 31
1) The call frequency of each one-touch key is compared with the call frequency of the other party to determine whether or not there is a rewritable target (step 312). Here, if the calling frequency of the other party exceeds the calling frequency of the registered one-touch key, it is determined that the rewriting is possible, and in this case (step 312
YES), the telephone number of the destination registered in the transmission destination field of the management table is transferred to the parameter memory 21, and rewritten and registered in the area of the one-touch key that is the rewriting target (step 313), and the management table The number of the rewritten and registered one-touch key is registered in the one-touch number field (step 314). By the above operation,
Even if all the one-touch keys are registered and there is no space,
By the relative evaluation, it is possible to automatically rewrite and register the other party with a high calling frequency into the one-touch key.

Then, in order to notify the operator that the other party has been newly rewritten and registered with the one-touch key, necessary information is converted into pattern information through the character generator 22, and the rewriting report is printed out from the plotter 11 ( Step 315). In this report, at least the newly rewritten and registered destination name, telephone number, and registered one-touch key number,
It contains the name and phone number of the person whose registration was deleted, and a message that the one-touch key was rewritten.This report tells the operator to delete one person from the one-touch key and replace it with a new one. By recognizing that the destination has been registered, the one-touch key can be used without trouble in the next call.

Further, in step 312, if the calling frequency of the registered one-touch key exceeds the calling frequency of the other party, it is determined that there is no rewriting target (NO in step 312), and the other party is set as the one-touch key. In order to notify the operator that registration is not possible, the necessary information is converted into pattern information via the character generator 22,
An unregistered report is printed out from the plotter 11 (step 316). In this report, the name of the other party,
Although the telephone number and the other party have a calling frequency sufficient for one-touch key registration, the rewriting registration cannot be performed because the calling frequency to the other party registered with the one-touch key exceeds this. A message is included, and from this report, the operator recognizes that the other party could not be registered in the one-touch key.

As is clear from the above description, according to the present embodiment, the destination with a high calling frequency is automatically registered in the one-touch key, and the registration status such as new registration, rewriting registration, and unrewriting is not possible. Since the reports are output one after another, the operator can always grasp the registration status of the one-touch key accurately.

Next, the operation of the second embodiment will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG. 4. Each step in the figure is also executed by the system control unit 19 unless otherwise specified. In the figure, the operation from the start of the flow to step 407 is as shown in FIG.
The description is omitted here because it is similar to the above and overlaps.

In the figure, as in step 307 of FIG. 3, it is determined whether or not there is a free one-touch key by referring to the one-touch dial registration table set in a predetermined area of the parameter memory 21 (step 407). ),
If the one-touch key has a space (step 407)
If YES, the telephone number of the destination registered in the transmission destination field of the management table is transferred to the parameter memory 21 and registered in the empty area of the one-touch key (step 4).
08). Then, the number of the one-touch key registered in the one-touch number column of the management table is registered (step 4
09), the light emitting diode (hereinafter referred to as LED) provided near the newly registered one-touch key is blinked for a predetermined period (step 410). By the above operation, the other party with a high call frequency is automatically registered in the one-touch key, and thereafter, the call using the one-touch key becomes possible.

On the other hand, if the one-touch key has no free space (NO in step 407), the number of calls of the registered one-touch key is referred to by referring to the number of calls and the earliest call date and time in the management table as in step 311 of FIG. Is checked (step 411), and the call frequency of each one-touch key is compared with the call frequency of the other party to determine whether or not there is a rewritable target (step 412). Also in the present embodiment, it is determined that rewriting is possible when the calling frequency of the other party exceeds the calling frequency of the registered one-touch key, and in this case (YES in step 412), the transmission destination field of the management table is set. Parameter memory 2 for the registered telephone number of the destination
1, and the rewriting is registered in the area of the one-touch key which is the rewriting target (step 413). Further, the number of the one-touch key that has been rewritten and registered is registered in the one-touch number column of the management table (step 414), and the LED attached in the vicinity of the newly rewritten and registered one-touch key is blinked for a predetermined period (step 41).
5). If the call frequency of the registered one-touch key exceeds the call frequency of the other party in step 412, it is determined that there is no rewriting target (step 412).
NO), this flow ends. By the above operation, even if all the one-touch keys are already registered and there is no vacancy, it is possible to automatically rewrite and register the other party with a high calling frequency by the relative evaluation.

Next, on the display of the operation display unit 12, an inquiry about how to display the detailed contents is displayed (for example, "Regarding the one-touch key whose LED blinks, the registration status has changed. Please specify whether to display it or output a report. "
Such a message). When the operator specifies the display on the inquiry (step 41)
6, LCD), and FIG.
The same contents as the registration report or the rewriting report of (1) are displayed on the display (step 417), and when the report output is designated (step 416, report), the same contents as in the case of the display are displayed as a report from the plotter 11. Printed out (step 41)
8).

As is clear from the above description, according to the present embodiment, the destination with a high calling frequency is automatically registered in the one-touch key, and the registration status changes due to new registration or rewriting registration. Since the LED attached to the corresponding one-touch key is blinked for a predetermined period, the operator can be notified of the change in the registration status of the one-touch key, and the operator can always accurately grasp the registration status of the one-touch key. It is possible.

In the first and second embodiments described above,
Although erasing from the one-touch key is performed only when new rewriting registration is performed, in the present invention, it is possible to perform erasing of the other party with a low calling frequency in addition to rewriting registration. The operation in this case will be described with reference to FIG.
The system control unit 19 refers to the clock circuit 23 and periodically (for example, once a week, once a month) performs the operation shown in FIG.
First, similarly to step 311 of FIG. 3, the calling frequency of all one-touch keys in which the other party is registered is confirmed by referring to the number of times of calling and the earliest calling date and time in the management table (step 50).
1) Compared with a predetermined value, it is determined whether or not there is something that can be erased (step 502). The determination method used here is the method of confirming the number of outgoing calls per unit time described in step 305 of FIG. 3, and the predetermined value to be compared is set by the manufacturer at the time of shipment or by the operator. An operation input is made from the operation display unit 12 and the parameter memory 21
You can register at.

If the number of outgoing calls per unit time has not reached the predetermined value, it is determined that the corresponding one-touch key can be erased (step 502).
YES), delete the telephone number of the corresponding destination from the one-touch dial registration table in the parameter memory 21 (step 503), and change the one-touch number column of the management table for the corresponding destination to the one-touch unregistered state. (Step 504). By the above operation, the other party with a low calling frequency can be automatically deleted from the one-touch key.

Further, in order to notify the operator that a certain partner has been erased from the one-touch key, necessary information is converted into pattern information through the character generator 22 and an erase report is printed out from the plotter 11 (step 505). . This report includes at least the name, phone number, and number of the corresponding one-touch key deleted from the one-touch key, and a message that the corresponding destination has been deleted from the one-touch key. The operator can recognize that the other party has been erased from the one-touch key. If all call destinations registered in the one-touch key have a calling frequency equal to or higher than the predetermined value, it is determined that there is no erasable one-touch key (step 502 NO), and this flow ends.

As is clear from the above description, the one-touch dial or speed dial registration table set in the predetermined area of the parameter memory 21 is an example of the memory of the present invention, and similarly, the management table is An example of frequency information holding means is step 305 in FIG. 3 or a step corresponding to step 305 in FIG. 4 is an example of calling frequency determination means, step 308 or step 313 in FIG. 3, step 408 or step in FIG. Four
