Telephone repertory dialer

An automatic telephone dialing apparatus for use with a dial telephone system comprising

• means for storing information concerning a plurality of telephone numbers, each number being represented by a plurality of numeral digits in pre-assigned digit positions, said storing means including
• a storage medium;
• and
• means for storing numeral identification signals representing the numeral digits of said plurality of telephone numbers at a plurality of separate regions of said medium, the storage thereof being arranged so that the signals representing the numeral digits of said telephone numbers which are in corresponding digit positions thereof form a plurality of separate groups, each group being stored at a different one of said regions;
• means for retrieving the signals representing successive numeral digits of a selected one of said telephone numbers from said storage medium;
• and
• means responsive to said retrieved signals for producing dialing signals for said telephone system.

An automatic telephone dialing apparatus for use with a dial telephone system comprising

• means for storing information concerning two groups of telephone numbers designated as the odd group telephone numbers and the even group telephone numbers, respectively, each number being represented by a plurality of numeral digits in pre-assigned digit positions, said storing means including
• a storage medium;
• and
• means for storing numeral identification signals representing the numeral digits of said plurality of telephone numbers at two separate regions of said medium, the storage thereof being arranged so that the signals representing the numeral digits of said odd group telephone numbers which are in corresponding digit positions thereof form a first plurality of separate sub-groups and the signals representing the numeral digits of said even group telephone numbers which are in corresponding digit positions thereof form a second plurality of separate sub-groups, each sub-group of said first and said second plurality of separate sub-groups being stored at a different one of said regions;
• means for retrieving the signals representing successive numeral digits of a selected one of said telephone numbers from said storage medium;
• and
• means responsive to said retrieved signals for producing dialing signals for said telephone system.

An automatic telephone dialing apparatus for use with a dial telephone system comprising

• means for storing information concerning a plurality of groups of telephone numbers, each group comprising a pair of sub-groups designated as first odd sub-group telephone numbers and first even sub-group telephone numbers and each number being represented by a plurality of numeral digits in pre-assigned digit positions, said storing means including
• a storage medium;
• and
• means for storing numeral identification signals representing the numeral digits of the plurality of telephone numbers of each said group at a plurality of separate regions of said medium, the storage thereof being arranged so that the signals representing the numeral digits of the first odd sub-group telephone numbers in each said group which are in corresponding digit positions thereof form a first plurality of separate second odd sub-groups within each said first odd sub-group and the signals representing the numeral digits of the first even sub-group telephone numbers in each said group which are in corresponding digit positions thereof form a second plurality of separate second even sub-groups within each said first even sub-group, each second odd sub-group and second even sub-group being stored at a different sub-region of said separate regions;
• means for retrieving the signals representing successive numeral digits of a selected one of said telephone numbers from said storage medium;
• and
• means responsive to said retrieved signals for producing dialing signals for said telephone system.
