Return to Figure 11 in sequence.

Furthermore, the control operation of the present invention will be explained by taking the case of a call memo as an example with reference to FIGS. 4 to 18.

(Re) First press the auxiliary key to enter high-function mode, then
When the handshade is ascended, the state changes from the empty state of α to the state of preparation for transmission of b, and the state is changed to the state where an output is generated from the key lamp unit 1-1 and is transmitted to the microprocessor 10 via the multipath interface 22. Therefore, the microprocessor 10 monitors and detects this and outputs the outgoing command.
This is sent from the code signal transmitting/receiving section 16 via the subscriber line termination section to the digital line switching module 2 shown in FIG. 1, and then transmitted to the stroke service module 3.

In response to this, the basic processing function control section 3-5 of the service processor SRR extracts the menu screen shown in FIG. 3 from the information response processing section 3-3 and sends it out. This menu screen is held in the image information reception buffer 18 in the image phone 1, and is stored in the access conflict prevention circuit 19.・Multi-path.

Interface 22. It is transmitted to the control unit 20 via the direct memory access control unit 21 and set to AM20-i, and thus this menu drawing is displayed on the EL display 1-2.

(2) -? : From now on, pick up the handset and touch the call memo section of FIG. 3 with handwritten notes 1-3. This touch signal is decoded by the human power section 14 for the coordinate position of the touch, and the decoded coordinate position is set in the data reception buffer 14, which is then sent to the microprocessor sensor 10G as a code signal. The information is sent to the service processor SPR via the transmitting/receiving unit 16.The service processor SPR recognizes that the selected item is a call memo based on this coordinate position, and this time the item that has already been input from the information storage processing unit 3-2 is sent to the service processor SPR. 51st ff
l(() is extracted. This pattern is set in the image information reception button 718 of the off-line diagram, and is displayed on the EL display 1-2 in the same manner as in the above case.

(3) In the state shown in Figure 5 (a), the number of the other party
For example, if you touch r1234J1234J, these coordinates are similarly decoded and sent to the service processor SPR. At this time, the process moves to the call shown in FIG. 9C. As a result, the service processor 5PRid destination phone number is l'-
1234J. As a result, this telephone number is sent to the digital circuit switching module 2, and the number sending state shown in FIG. 9d is established. The digital circuit switching module 2 calls the other party using this telephone number (calling in FIG. 9e).

When the other party responds, the call becomes possible (while 1st person F is talking).

(4) At this time, the service processor SP extracts the stored call memo shown in FIG. 5(c) from the information storage processing section 3-2 and displays it on the EL display 1-2 on the calling side. This call memo is displayed only on the calling party and not on the receiving party. In this way, you can talk to the other party using this call memo.

(5) In this case, if the telelight lamp portion of the command area is touched, the service processor SPR determines that the telelight lamp portion has been touched based on the coordinates tillR, and instructs the microprocessor 10 to turn on the telelight lamp. As a result, the microprocessor IO extracts the content displayed on the EL display l-2 from the R and AM 20-1, and direct memory access controller 21. Multipath interface 22. It passes through the access conflict prevention circuit 19, is held in the image information transmission buffer 17, and is then sent to the other party. This will then be displayed on the other party's display.

(6) Also, if you want to make corrections or add notes to the call memo, touch the erased part in the command area to erase/instruct the wrong part and it will be erased. Then, by touching the graphic part and writing it on the EL display 1-2, it is considered as a correction, and by simply writing the graphic part after touching it, additional writing can be made.

(7) After the call has been made in this way, when the handset is turned on-hook, the key lamp unit 1-1 will notify this, and the microprocessor 10 will detect this and send a completion report to the digital line switching module 2. 'fr:
via the service processor SPH (Fig. 9 y
Waiting for recovery response). The service processor SPR thereby recognizes the end of the call.

In addition, the digital @line conversion module 2 outputs a recovery response signal to the image phone 1 based on this completion report, and -
1: The disconnection status is also reported to the other party.

As a result, the other party goes on-hook and a recovery signal is sent back to the digital line switching module 2. In this way, the image phone l returns to its initial empty state.

〔Effect of the invention〕
