2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a telephone with a speed dial function, a desired telephone number is registered in correspondence with a speed dial number, and after the registration, a speed dial operation (including a one-touch key operation) is performed. For example, there is known an apparatus in which a telephone number corresponding to an abbreviated dial number is read out from a storage means and dial-transmitted, thereby enabling dialing of a telephone number having a long number of digits with a small dial operation. As the storage means, a semiconductor memory or the like is used, but a memory with a relatively small memory capacity is used for cost reduction, so that the number of abbreviated dial registrations and the number of digits of one telephone number are limited. . Further, when dialing a long number exceeding the number of digits that can be registered in the storage means, the telephone number corresponding to each speed dial number can be continuously transmitted by dialing a plurality of speed dial numbers in succession. Telephones having functions have also been proposed.

[0003]

However, according to the above-mentioned conventional telephone with abbreviated dial function, when dialing a long number exceeding the number of digits which can be registered as one abbreviated dial in the storage means, the abbreviated dial is required. The dial function cannot be used. Also, even for a telephone having a function of continuously dialing a plurality of speed dial numbers, since dialing of a plurality of speed dial numbers must be performed, dialing is troublesome,
There is a problem in that the dial transmission cannot be performed unless the abbreviated numbers of the telephone numbers to be successively dialed are memorized.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, and can be registered in a storage means by a single speed dial operation while using an inexpensive storage means having a relatively small memory capacity. It is an object of the present invention to provide a telephone with a speed dial function capable of dialing a telephone number having a long number of digits exceeding the number of digits.

[0005]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a telephone with a speed dial function for recording an arbitrary telephone number corresponding to each of a plurality of speed dial numbers. Speed dial registering means for registering the telephone number registered in the storage means, and dialing means for reading out the telephone number registered in the storage means corresponding to the dialing operation by dialing the speed dialing number and dialing out the dialed number. A telephone, wherein the speed dial registering means, if one telephone number to be registered as a speed dial number is larger than the number of digits of a telephone number that can be registered corresponding to one speed dial number in the storage means, It has a function to divide a telephone number into a plurality of speed dial numbers and register them. When one phone number is registered in a plurality by means is for sequentially reads dial sending them.

[0006] In the above configuration, one of the storage means is used.
If a telephone number having a number of digits larger than the number of telephone numbers that can be registered corresponding to one speed dial number is divided into a plurality of numbers and registered by the abbreviated dial registration means, they are sequentially read and dialed out. Therefore, even if the number of digits of the telephone number that can be stored in the storage means is small, it is possible to call and dial out a telephone number with more digits than the number by a single speed dialing operation. Accordingly, it is possible to dial out a telephone number having a long number of digits as described above while using an inexpensive storage means having a relatively small memory capacity.

In order to achieve the above object, a telephone with a speed dial function according to the invention described in claim 2 is provided.
Wherein the speed dial registration means corresponds to an arbitrary speed dial number and has a predetermined identification code and a number assigned as a desired speed dial number different from the speed dial number. Has a function of registering a plurality of sets, or one set thereof, and a telephone number in the storage means, and the dial sending means reads out the storage means, and if the content is an identification code, abbreviates the following number to a speed dial. The telephone number is recognized as a number, the telephone number registered in the storage means corresponding to the speed dial number is read, and the telephone number is dialed out.

In the above configuration, a predetermined identification code registered in the storage means corresponding to the speed dial number and a desired speed dial number different from the speed dial number are assigned by a single speed dial operation. Since a plurality of sets of a telephone number and a set of telephone numbers and a telephone number are read out and a telephone number corresponding to the telephone number and the identification number are sent out by dial, an operation equivalent to that of the telephone with the speed dial function described in claim 1 is achieved. can get.

A method of registering a speed dial number by the telephone 1 with a speed dial function will be described with reference to FIGS. In the telephone 1 with the speed dial function, one telephone number to be registered as a speed dial number is stored in the RAM 7.
If the number of digits of the telephone number that can be registered corresponding to one speed dial number in the data table 7b of
PU2 divides the telephone number to be registered into a plurality of abbreviated dialing numbers and performs registration processing. If one telephone number is divided and registered in the data table 7b of the RAM 7, it is sequentially read out and dialed out. Is what you do. 2 (a) and 2 (b) are diagrams showing an operation procedure at the time of registering a speed dial number, and FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a data table of the RAM 7. For example, when a telephone number “0061” is set and registered in the speed dial number “01”, the registration key 5b is pressed to enter the speed dial number registration mode as shown in FIG. After the setting, the "0" 1 of the speed key 5c and the dial key 5a is pressed, and then the telephone number "0" is pressed by the dial key 5a.
'0''6''1' and the registration key 5b are sequentially input.
By this operation, the telephone number “0061” is set to the speed dial number “01”, and the data table 7 in the RAM 7 is set.
'0061' is registered as dial data at the position of the speed dial number '01' of b. It is assumed that dial data can be registered in this data table, for example, up to 12 digits.

[0011] When registering a plurality of sets of desired numbers assigned as abbreviated dial numbers different from the abbreviated dial number corresponding to an arbitrary abbreviated dial number, for example, abbreviated dial "06" is used. When setting and registering the numbers assigned as the speed dial numbers of '01' and '04' in FIG.
As shown in (b), after the registration key 5b is depressed to set the speed dial number registration mode, the speed key 5c and the dial key 5a, "0", 6 are depressed. Next, with the dial key 5a, for example,
"S" is input, and subsequently "0" 1 which is a speed dial number is input by the dial key 5a. Thereafter, similarly, "S" 0 "is set by the dial key 5a.
'4' and the registration key 5b are sequentially input. By this operation, as shown in FIG. 3, as the dial data corresponding to the speed dial number '06', the speed dial number '01' is obtained.
And '04' are set, and a code 'S' for identifying a speed dial number or a telephone number is set before each number, and is registered in the data table 7b of the RAM 7.

In addition to the case where a plurality of sets of speed dial numbers are registered in correspondence with the speed dial numbers in the data table 7b of the RAM 7 as described above, as shown in the speed dial number '07' in FIG. In addition, it is also possible to register a combination of a desired speed dial number and a telephone number. The operation at the time of the registration is performed in the same manner as described above.
After pressing b to set the speed dial number registration mode, pressing the speed key 5c, inputting an arbitrary speed dial number with the dial key 5a, inputting "S" with the dial key 5a, The desired speed dial number and the desired telephone number. Note that an example is shown in which normal telephone numbers are registered as they are for the speed dial numbers '03' and '04' in FIG.

Next, dial transmission when a speed dial number is dialed will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a procedure for performing dial transmission by abbreviated dial number, FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a flow of dial transmission processing by abbreviated dial number operation, and FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, after pressing the shortcut key 5c, "0" 6 of the dial key 5a is pressed. With this operation, dial transmission processing by abbreviated dial number operation is started.

In this process, first, dial data "S01S04" corresponding to the speed dial number "06" is entered.
Is read from the data table (S1) and written into the transmission memory 7a (S2). Next, the transmission memory 7
The first digit of the dial data written in a is read (S3), and it is determined whether or not this is an 'S' code (S4). If the code is 'S' (Y in S4
ES), the number following the 'S' code is recognized as a speed dial number (hereinafter referred to as a speed code), which is read (S8), and the dial data corresponding to the speed code is stored in the RAM 7 Table 7b
(S9), and overwrites the dial data in the transmission memory 7a where the 'S' code and the abbreviated code are stored (S10). In this example, since the dial data includes two 'S' codes, the above process is repeated twice. Thereafter, the dial data is read one digit at a time from the sending memory 7a in which the dial data is written, and dialing is performed (NO in S3, S4, S5). After dialing, the transmission memory 7a is shifted (S6), and it is checked whether dialing is completed (S7). If not, the process returns to S3. The same processing is performed until dialing of all subsequent dial data is completed. As a result of performing the above series of processing, a telephone number having more digits (12 digits) than the number of digits that can be stored in the data table 7b of the RAM 7 by a single speed dial number input operation is obtained. As shown in FIG. 6, '0061441728336
The 784 '16-digit telephone number will be dialed out.

As described above, according to the telephone 1 with the abbreviated dialing function of the present embodiment, if the dial data includes the 'S' code at the time of reading the transmission memory 7a, the subsequent data is recognized as the abbreviated code. The dial data corresponding to the abbreviated code is stored in the data table 7 of the RAM 7.
b and replaces them with the 'S' code and the abbreviated code, so that a telephone number having more digits than the number of telephone numbers that can be stored in the data table 7b can be called and dialed out by a single speed dial number input operation. it can.

The present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, in the description of the dial transmission processing at the time of operating the speed dial number,
Although the example in which the transmission memory 7a is used has been described, the dial data read from the data table 7b may be sequentially dial-transmitted at that time. In the above description, 'S' is used as the identification code, but a code for abbreviated dial or the like may be used. Further, a part of the speed dial number may be used as a function of dial transmission by one-touch key operation. Further, if there is a margin in the number of digits that can be stored in the data table 7b and the transmission memory 7a, a code number for executing some function may be stored in addition to the telephone number.
