Abstract
A redialing method in a communication apparatus provides that the digits of a telephone number are consecutively input by a user, and the actual time intervals between the consecutive inputs are measured and stored in memory along with the digits of the telephone number. During redialing, the digits of the telephone number and the actual time intervals between the consecutive digits are read from memory, and the telephone number is dialed by inserting the previously measured actual time intervals between the respective digits of the telephone number. According to this method, the redialing operation can be effectively performed in various kinds of information service telephones or key phones, and cumbersome key manipulation can be eliminated.
Claims12
A redialing method in a communication apparatus wherein digits of a telephone number are sequentially input by a user and an actual time interval between input of each pair of consecutive digits is measured and stored in memory with said digits, said telephone number being redialed in response to input of a redial key by reading said digits and each said time interval from said memory, and dialing said digits with each said a time interval respectively inserted between each said actual pair of consecutive digits.
A redialing method in a communication apparatus, comprising the steps of:
- entering a telephone number by providing sequential user inputs of digits of said telephone number, measuring an actual time interval between input of each pair of consecutive digits, and storing said digits and each said actual time interval;
- and
- dialing, in response to input of a redial key, said digits of said telephone number with each said actual time interval respectively interposed between each said pair of consecutive digits.
A communication apparatus for performing a redial operation, comprising:
- first means for providing sequential user inputs of digits of a telephone number and
- second means for measuring an actual time interval between input of each pair of consecutive digits and storing said digits and each said actual time interval, said second means enabling performance of said redial operation in response to a redial input provided from said first means by dialing said digits of said telephone number with each said actual time interval respectively interposed between each said pair of consecutive digits.
A communication apparatus, comprising:
- first means for providing sequential user inputs of digits of a telephone number;
- and
- second means for operating an internal counter in response to input of a first digit from said first means, storing said first digit, stopping operation of said internal counter in response to input of a second digit from said first means, storing said second digit and a first actual time interval counted by said internal counter between the input of said first digit and the input of said second digit and restarting said internal counter, stopping operation of said internal counter in response to input of a third digit from said first means, storing said third digit and a second actual time interval counted by said internal counter between the input of said second digit and the input of said third digit and restarting said internal counter, stopping operation of said internal counter in response to input of a fourth digit from said first means, storing said fourth digit and a third actual time interval counted by said internal counter between the input of said third and the input of said fourth digit and restarting said internal counter, stopping operation of said internal counter in response to input of a fifth digit from said first means, storing said fifth digit and a fourth actual time interval counted by said internal counter between the input of said fourth digit and the input of said fifth digit and restarting said internal counter, stopping operation of said internal counter in response to input of a sixth digit from said first means, storing said sixth digit and a fifth actual time interval counted by said internal counter between the input of said fifth digit and the input of said sixth digit and restarting said internal counter, stopping operation of said internal counter in response to input of a seventh digit from said first means, storing said seventh digit and a sixth actual time interval counted by said internal counter between the input of said sixth digit and the input of said seventh digit and restarting said internal counter, stopping operation of said internal counter in response to input of a seventh digit from said first means, storing said seventh digit and a sixth actual time interval counted by said internal counter between the input of said sixth digit and the input of said seventh digit and restarting said internal counter, stopping operation of said internal counter in response to input of an eighth digit from said first means, storing said eighth digit and a seventh actual time interval counted by said internal counter between the input of said seventh digit and the input of said eighth digit and restarting said internal counter, stopping operation of said internal counter in response to input of a ninth digit from said first means, and storing said ninth digit and an eighth actual time interval counted by said internal counter between the input of said eighth digit and the input of said ninth digit.
