In the method of Publication No. 90893, settings are made by operating the keyboard of the button telephone.This method has the advantage of not requiring any special switches or devices; There is a tendency for the methods used to be used to win prizes.

Furthermore, when setting operational data, a method of using an outside line button to specify the corresponding outside line is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 1983-106985. It is indicated by a light.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, if the middle dial button on the keyboard of a button telephone is used to set data and the data is set with one touch, if the number of outside lines or the number of lines that the button telephone can accommodate is 11 or more, It is impossible to set the data corresponding to the line, and even if you use an outside line indicator,
A problem arises in that it is impossible to display the data setting status of numbers 11 and onwards together with the data setting status of numbers 1 to 10.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention is constructed by the following means.

That is, in the above-mentioned button telephone device, the button telephone is equipped with a multi-digit digital display,
The digit positions of the digital display and the numbers to be displayed are assigned in correspondence with the data to be set, and the numbers of the dial button are assigned in correspondence with these digit positions and numbers. The number display according to the corresponding digit position is reversely changed into a display state and a non-display state, and a number indicating the number of the outside line button is assigned to correspond to the digit position of the digital display exceeding the number of the dial button, and this In response to the operation of the outside line button, the display of numbers at the corresponding digit positions on the digital display is reversely changed between a display state and a non-display state.

[Effect]

Therefore, each data corresponds to the digit position on the digital display, and also corresponds to the numbers on the dial button and the number on the outside line button. The display of the number by the corresponding digit position is reversed as shown and hidden, thereby confirming which of the two choices the data indicated by the digit position is set to. I can do it.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be explained with reference to figures showing examples.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the entire configuration. The main unit (hereinafter referred to as KSU) 1 has external lines 2 ₁ to 1, such as a central office line from a central office or a telephone line from a private branch exchange.
2n is accommodated, and a button telephone (hereinafter referred to as ST) 4 ₁ -4m is accommodated through connectors CN ₁ -CNm according to the accommodation position, and lines ₃₁ - 3m each consisting of a pair of communication lines and signal lines. The outside lines 2 ₁ to 2n are each connected to the communication path switch (hereinafter referred to as TSW) 12 via outside line interfaces (hereinafter referred to as LIF) 11 ₁ to 11n, while the STW 12 and each ST 4 ₁ Track 3 from ~4m ₁

TIF) 13 ₁ ~ 13m connected via SWT1
Exchange connections are made using cross points such as analog switches or relay contacts in 2.

Note that the LIFs 11 ₁ to 11n have functions such as incoming call detection, DC loop closure for outside lines, hold, and dialing using pulse signals or composite voice frequency (hereinafter referred to as MF) signals, and the TSW 12 has functions such as incoming call detection, DC loop closure for outside lines, and dialing using pulse signals or composite voice frequency ( _hereinafter referred to as MF) signals. 2n and ST4 ₁ to 4m, and ST
4. While having a mutual exchange connection function between ₁ and 4 meters,
The TIFs 13 ₁ to 13m supply the STs _{4 1} to 4m with power for communication via communication lines, transmit and receive data signals via signal lines, and supply power for control, etc.

Further, the KSU 1 is provided with a control unit including a processor (hereinafter referred to as CPU) 14 such as a microprocessor, a fixed memory (hereinafter referred to as ROM) 15, and a variable memory (hereinafter referred to as RAM) 16.
The CPU 14 executes the program in the ROM 15,
Control is performed while accessing predetermined data to RAM 16, and LIF 11 ₁ to 11
Control decisions are made according to the incoming call detection power from n, operation data from ST4 ₁ to 4m via TIF13 ₁ to 13m, and LIF11 ₁ to 11n, TSW1

By transmitting control data via 13 ₁ to 13 m,
It is designed to control ST4 ₁ to 4m.

In contrast to the above, in ST4 ₁ to 4m, a communication circuit (hereinafter referred to as TKC) 31 is connected to a communication line 32, and a transmission circuit (hereinafter referred to as TKC) is connected to the signal line 33.
SRC) 34, CPU 14 and ROM 15,
Although it is similar to the RAM 16, a smaller control unit (hereinafter referred to as CNT) 35 is connected, and a digital display (hereinafter referred to as DP) in a display circuit (hereinafter referred to as DP) 36 is connected.
DGP) and tone generator, amplifier,
In accordance with the control data via the SRC 34, the display by the DGP and the emitting of the incoming ring tone by the speaker are performed, and also in accordance with the control data,
In addition to controlling the lighting, turning off, and blinking of each indicator light in the keyboard (hereinafter referred to as KB) 37,
In response to the operation of each button in the KB 37 and the operation of the switch HS, operation data indicating these conditions is transmitted via the SRC 34.

Note that the SRC 34 has a power separation function, extracts the power supplied from the KSU 1 side via the signal line 33, stabilizes it, and supplies it as a local power V to each part that requires it.

Therefore, when off-hook is performed in any ST4, the operation data of this is transferred to the CPU 14.
The button operations in KB37 are also the same, and the CPU 14
controls the TSW12 and performs exchange connections,
If it is an external call, the dial call is made under the control of the selected LIF11, and if it is an internal call,
The DP 36 controls the ST4 on the other party's side to emit an extension ringing tone, and the call state is established in response to a response from the other party.

Also, incoming calls from outside lines 2 ₁ to 2n are sent to LIF 11 ₁
~11n and accordingly CPU1
4 controls the DP36 of each ST4 ₁ to 4m and emits an incoming call tone, so if any ST4 responds by off-hook, the
The CPU 14 controls the TSW 12 and completes the communication path.

Note that, at the same time as these controls, the indicator lights in the KB 37 are also controlled, and the corresponding lights are turned on.

Figure 3 is a flowchart of function setting control including system data settings, and
Among the programs stored in the ROM 15 in the KSU 1, those to be valid are specified, and predetermined data are stored in the RAM 16, and each control is executed according to the valid programs and set data. become what is done.

In other words, among ST4 ₁ to 4m, for example, ST4 ₁ is defined as a specific ST, and the "Function setting button operation?" 101 included in KB37 of this and hidden buttons that are sunk from the panel surface is Y ( YES)
If so, the CPU 14 judges this according to the data received via the TIF 13 ₁ , and if the dial button in the KB 37 is operated as a specific number, it performs "system data setting" 102 according to this,
For example, whether there are domestic or international shipments, whether there is a hold alert,
None, pulse speed of pulse dial signal, sending time of MF dial signal, presence of tenant service,
You can also set whether incoming calls at night will be displayed to all ST4 ₁ to 4 meters, or concentrated to be displayed only to a specific ST. (hereinafter referred to as TEL), perform "TEL operation mode setting" 103 to determine the TEL operation mode, and then check "Tenant present?" 111 to determine whether this was set in step 102. Check the
If this is Y, perform the "external line group setting" 112 which is not used for tenant service, check whether this was set in step 102 by "overseas?" 113, and if this is Y, do the same. "Regulation dial digit number setting is performed, but depending on N (NO) in step 113, "Band area number setting" 115 is similarly performed to set a toll number that can be called.

Next, similarly perform "ST setting for operation during power outage" 121, specify the ST that can be used even in the event of a power outage of the commercial power supply used as the main power source of KSU1, and select "Incoming calls at night = concentration?" After checking whether this is set or not, if it is Y, "Night call reception ST setting" 123 is similarly performed.

Next, in response to the same specific number dialing operation,
Perform “accommodating external line type setting” 131, and set external line 2 ₁ to 2.
Set which of n to use a pulse signal or MF signal as a dial signal,
Perform "PBX Connection External Line Settings" 132 in the same way, set which of the external lines ₂₁ to 2n will be connected to the private branch exchange, and then select "Do you have a central office line for each PBX?" 133
If is Y, “PBX access code setting” 134
In the same way, set the number such as "0" or "9" used when making a call to the outside via the private branch exchange, and the pause time that follows, and then similarly set "ST compatible information setting" 135. Perform ST4 ₁ ~
4m extension numbers, grouping, service classes such as "Special A" which allows all calls including long-distance calls, or "Semi-A" which allows only extension calls, restrictions on incoming and outgoing calls, etc. are set.

After making each setting as described above, press N of "*Button operation?" 141 in the dial button again.
Same as step 101, “function setting button operation?”
If step 142 becomes Y, the function setting is completed, but while step 142 is N, "ignore input" 143 is performed.

In addition, if Y is selected in step 141, step 102 is executed.
Repeat the steps below to be able to reset the settings.

However, step 142 may be inserted anywhere between steps 102 to 135, and the setting can be arbitrarily terminated by "function setting button operation."

In addition, these setting statuses are the same as the DGP in DP36.
The information is displayed as letters and numbers, making it easy for operators to check.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a lower routine of step 121 in FIG. 3, and it is thereby set which one of STs _{4 1} to 4m is to be used as an ST that operates even in the event of a power outage.

That is, by "ST individual data read" 201 from the ROM 15, data indicating whether or not the ST is for power outage is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 16.
ST? ``202 is checked, and if it is Y, ``Display the number of the accommodation position number as a predetermined digit position by DGP'' 211 is performed. Bar display" 212 is performed instead of numerical display, and this is "All ST completed? ``While 213 is N, iterate sequentially for each ST4 ₁ to 4m, and if step 213 is Y,
The system remains on standby until the dial button or outside line button in KB37 is operated.

Therefore, as shown in Figure 1A, the
From the 16th digit to the 2nd digit,
After the “job” is displayed for, for example, 1 second,
As shown in Figure B, in this example, there are 16 ST4 ₁ to 4m units, so the numbers of the accommodation position number are assigned from the left side to the 16th digit to the 1st digit assigned corresponding to the individual data of ST4 ₁ to 4m. Each digit is displayed, and in this case, ST4 ₁ to 4 ₆ and 4 ₁₁ are STs for power outages, so the numbers "1" to "6" and the digit below 11 are displayed.
The number "1" indicating the digit is displayed by the 16th to 11th digits and the 6th digit, while the other digits are displayed as bars and are hidden from the numeric display.

Next, when "Dial button operation?" 221 becomes Y, if this is "1," - "9", "0",
The judgment of “Number corresponding to the digit position of the numeric display?” 222 is Y, and “Display the corresponding number as a bar” 223 is performed, and “Logic value inversion of the corresponding data in RAM” 224 is performed. For example, , if you operate the dial button "6", the 11th
The digit “6” is reversed from a numeric display to a bar display, and the data in RAM 16 is a logical value “1”.
When set as ST for power outage, it is reversed to “0” and ST for power outage is set.
It becomes a state where ST is not indicated.

In addition, in response to N in step 222, it is determined whether ``a number corresponds to the digit position of the bar display?'' 231, and if this is Y, ``set the corresponding bar display to the corresponding numeric display'' 232 is performed. To proceed to step 224, for example, if you operate the dial button "7", the bar display of the 10th digit will be reversed and the number "7" will be displayed, as shown in FIG.
The data in 16 is inverted from "0" to "1", indicating the ST for power outage.

On the other hand, when step 231 is N, it is determined that the operated dial button is "* button?" 241,
If this is N, the operation is invalidated by "ignoring input" 242, and steps 221 and subsequent steps are repeated, but if Y in step 241, the setting is completed,
Return to the main routine via “EXIT”.

Therefore, the 16th to 7th digits of DGP41 are ST
4 Assigned corresponding to ₁ to 4 ₁₀ , and assigned numbers "1" to "9" on the dial button corresponding to each digit position,
If "0" is assigned, the numbers indicating each number of ST4 ₁ to 4 ₁₀ match the numbers on the dial button, making it easy to set individual data to selectively select ST for power outage or ST for non-power outage. This will also allow you to reliably determine the setting status.

However, for ST4 ₁ to 4 ₁₆ , the outside line buttons corresponding to outside lines 2 ₁ to 2 ₆ in KB37 are used, and outside line buttons #1 to #6 are used for ST.
4 ₁₁ to ST4 ₁₆ .

That is, check "External line button operation?" 251 via N in step 221, and if this is Y, check "Does the external line number + 10 of the external line button correspond to the digit position of the numeric display?" 252, and check this. Depending on Y,
After performing step 253 to “display the corresponding number as a bar”, move to step 224, for example, by operating the outside line button #1, the number 6 will be displayed as shown in Fig. 1E.
The digit is inverted from a numeric display of "1" to a bar display, and the data in the RAM 16 is inverted from "1" to "0".

In addition, when step 252 is N, the digit position corresponding to "external line number + 10" on the external line button is displayed as a bar, and "the corresponding bar display is the corresponding numeric display" 261
In order to proceed to step 224 after performing this, for example, when the outside line button #2 is operated, the 5th digit is reversed from the bar display and becomes a number "2" as shown in FIG. The data of is inverted from “0” to “1”.

In addition, in response to N in step 251, "Other button operations?" 271 is checked, and if this is Y, "ignore input" 272 is performed as in step 242, and steps 221 and subsequent steps are repeated.

Therefore, beyond the number on the dial button
By assigning numbers indicating the numbers of outside line buttons #1 to #6 in correspondence with the 6th to 1st digits of DGP41, each individual data of _ST411 to _ST416 can be transmitted with one touch in the same way as dial button operation. It can be set selectively and can be displayed in the same way.

As described above, by one-touch operation of the dial button and outside line button, individual data for each line can be selectively set, and the status of each line can be set individually.
The numbers on the dial button and the number on the outside line button match the displayed digit position and line order, making setting operations and confirmation of the setting status easy and reliable. .

However, the data to be set is ST for power outage.
More than 11 items, including not only the specification data of , but also the type of dial signal to be used for outside lines 2 ₁ to 2n, the specification of the central office line via a private branch exchange, the specification of night intensive call reception for ST4 ₁ to 4m, the specification of stopping the ringtone, etc. It is possible to use various types of data in which each of the two is selected based on an alternative.

In addition, the above operations can be performed not only in ST4 ₁ but also in ST4 _2.
~4m, or the order of accommodation of ST4 that can be operated can be changed.The function setting button may be provided on the KSU1 side, and instead of this, simultaneous operation of multiple specific buttons may be possible. Alternatively, simultaneous operation and operation of a specific code number using a dial button can also be used.

In addition, in Fig. 1, the specific state is displayed as a bar, but it may also be displayed as a clear state or with characters, symbols, etc. other than numbers, and the same effect can be achieved even if the digit position of the display is reversed left and right. If there is insufficient information, various modifications can be made, such as dividing the display items and displaying them alternately.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, various data setting operations can be easily performed with a single touch of a dial button and an outside line button, and it is also easy to check the setting status, and each data setting can be performed freely. This can be done based on the ranking, and a remarkable effect can be obtained in various key telephone devices that require alternative data setting of 11 or more items.
