BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a service function setting method for a telephone exchange system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the service function setting method of this type of telephone exchange system, a user reads a portable storage device such as a magnetic card (a device in which the ID code of the user is stored in advance) from a telephone. The control unit in the telephone identifies the ID card by inserting it into the device, and the personal information corresponding to the ID card stored in the internal memory of the exchange is stored in advance, and the function of the telephone and the liquid crystal display are presented to the user. There is known a service function setting method of changing to a corresponding one (hereinafter, this service function setting method is referred to as a first conventional technique).

In addition to the above-mentioned first conventional technique, a user inserts a portable storage device such as a magnetic card (a device in which the ID code of the user is stored in advance) into a reading device of a telephone. By doing so, the control unit in the telephone identifies the ID card, and by reading the personal information corresponding to the ID card stored in the telephone internal memory in advance,
A service function setting method is known in which the functions of the telephone and the liquid crystal display are changed according to the user (hereinafter, this service function setting method is referred to as a second conventional technique).

[0004]

However, the first and second prior arts described above have the following problems because they are premised on the use of a portable storage device such as a magnetic card.

First, since an external portable storage device is used, the cost is high considering that a read / write device is required. Secondly, when a reading device such as a magnetic card is used frequently, there is a problem in durability. Thirdly, in the case of this device, this function cannot be executed basically without a magnetic card. Therefore, if the card is lost or destroyed accidentally, the stored contents will be lost, which is inconvenient. .

Further, in the above-mentioned second conventional technique, since personal information is stored in the memory inside the telephone, the mounting space is limited when the amount of information increases, which is disadvantageous in terms of memory expandability.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to provide a service function setting system for a telephone exchange system which is low in cost, has good durability and is excellent in memory expandability.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a telephone according to an embodiment of the present invention, where 1 is a receiver and 2
Is a numeric keypad, 3 is a user identification key, 4 is a variable function key,
5 is a liquid crystal display unit.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a telephone and an exchange in one embodiment of the present invention. The telephone 10
Handset 1, numeric keypad 2, user identification key 3, variable function keys (hereinafter referred to as one-touch dial keys) 4,
An input interface 6, a control program ROM 7 in which various control programs are stored, a control unit 8 that controls communication, and a line interface 9 are configured. Here, the one-touch dial key 4 refers to an operation key that can be directly selected by the transmission destination stored in association with the key by operating the key. The exchange 20 includes a line interface circuit 11, a time-division switch 12 having a plurality of channels, and a personal information storage unit 13 including a personal information storage memory 14 and a battery backup 15.

When the control unit 8 receives information from the numeric keypad 2, the user identification key 3, and the plurality of one-touch dial keys 4 via the input interface 6, the control unit 8 has a line interface 9, a line interface circuit 11, and a time division switch. Information for each individual stored in the personal information storage unit 13 is read out via 12, and the information is transferred to the liquid crystal display unit (liquid crystal display) 5 and displayed as characters.
Note that these controls are performed by a program stored in the control program ROM 7.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of this embodiment. The operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The user of the telephone 10 / exchange 20 determines whether to use the service function of the present invention (step S10).
1). Next, when the telephone 10 uses the service function of the present invention for the first time, it is necessary to first perform initial setting (steps S102 and S103). That is,
In the initial setting, when using the functions provided in the telephone, such as the auto dial function, your ID
An identification number (hereinafter referred to as an ID identification code), a necessary person's name, a telephone number, etc. are registered in the personal information storage memory 14 on the exchange side. After completing the initial setting, as a method of using this function, the user first presses the user identification key 3 (step S104). Subsequently, the user's own ID identification code is entered with the ten keys 2 (step S105), and after the entry is completed, the user identification key 3 is pressed again (step S106). The control unit 8 collates the input ID identification code with the already registered ID identification code, and if they match, I
A personal information table corresponding to the D identification code, for example, functional information of using the auto-dial function and personal information such as a personal name and a telephone number necessary for use are read from the personal information storage memory 14 in the exchange 20 (step S107). The control unit 8 has a personal information storage memory 14
The function to be set is changed based on the individual information read from the personal computer, the corresponding function is changed, the person's name, the telephone number, etc. are changed and displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 5 (step S10).
8). The user uses the function newly set by the one-touch dial key 4 (step S109). When this function is not used, a telephone call is made normally using the numeric keypad 2.

As the recording method of the personal information storage memory 14 in this embodiment, a magnetic recording method, an optical recording method, a method using an IC, or the like is used. In this embodiment, an IC memory is used as the personal information storage memory 14, and a battery backup is provided to prevent the information in the IC memory from being lost at the time of power failure.

Further, in FIG. 1, two liquid crystal display portions 5 are provided, but in this case, one liquid crystal display portion 5 (the display portion in the middle portion on the right side of the drawing) has a plurality of variable function keys 4 adjacent to each other.
The personalized information corresponding to is displayed on the other liquid crystal display unit 5
Other service function information is displayed on the (upper display portion in the figure). Of course, both information may be displayed on one liquid crystal display unit.

[0017]

According to the present invention, the portable storage device, that is, the reading / writing device, which has been required in the past, is not required, and the durability and cost can be improved.

Further, since this function can be used only by inputting the ID identification code stored by the user without using the magnetic card, there is no fear of damage or theft of the magnetic card.

Further, since the storage device is provided on the exchange side, the memory can be easily expanded.
