Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain automatic talking by reading a recording card on which a destination telephone number and a name or a company name corresponding to the telephone number are stored and converting the designated name or the company name into the telephone number so as to eliminate the need for dialing the destination telephone number. CONSTITUTION:In the case of dialing, a read circuit 1 reads the storage content of a recording card and displays a name or a company name among the read contents by a display circuit 3. Plural names or company names are displayed by the display circuit 3 based on the displayed content, Then a recognition circuit 2 recognizes the telephone number corresponding to the name or company name based on the displayed content and sends the telephone number to a dialing circuit 6. The circuit 6 receiving the telephone number generates a dial signal and sends it to a telephone terminal 7. Thus, the destination telephone number is converted into a dial signal or a Touch-Tone signal without turning of dial or depression of a pushbutton and then the telephone number is dialed automatically.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a telephone, and more particularly to an automatic dialing system for a destination telephone number.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the case of transmitting a destination telephone number, this type of telephone transmits the destination telephone number by rotating a dial or sequentially pressing push buttons according to the telephone number. It was a method.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional telephone, when the destination telephone number is transmitted, the destination telephone number is transmitted by rotating the dial or by pushing the push button. There are drawbacks that the operation depends on the memory, or the operation is performed by looking at the recording sheet, which is apt to be erroneously operated and the operation is troublesome.

[0004]

According to the automatic dialing method of a telephone of the present invention, a recording card having a plurality of destination telephone numbers and means for storing names or names corresponding to the telephone numbers, and the recording card is read and recognized. Means, means for displaying the recognized name or name, means for arbitrarily selecting the displayed name or name, means for recognizing the destination telephone number based on the selected name or name, and the selection And a means for converting into a dial signal or a touch-tone signal according to the generated telephone number.

[0005]

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. When making a call, the reading circuit 1 reads the stored contents of the recording card (procedures 11 to 13), and the name or name of the read contents is displayed by the display circuit 3 (procedure 14). According to the displayed contents, one target partner is selected from a plurality of names or names and the display circuit 4 is instructed (steps 15 to 17). The instruction circuit 4 recognizes the name or the telephone number corresponding to the name by the recognition circuit 2 according to the instructed content, and transmits the telephone number to the dial transmission circuit 6 (step 18). The dial transmission circuit 6 generates a dial signal according to the received telephone number and transmits it to the telephone terminal 7 (steps 19 and 20). The control circuit 5 includes the reading circuit 1,
It is a circuit that controls the recognition circuit 2, the display circuit 3, and the instruction circuit 4.

[0006]

As described above, according to the present invention, a recording card storing a destination telephone number and a name or a name corresponding to the telephone number, and the storage card is read, and the telephone number is designated by the designated name or name. By converting, the telephone number of the other party can be converted into a dial signal or a touch-tone signal without rotating the dial or pressing the touch-tone, and the telephone number can be automatically transmitted.
