DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a view showing the configuration of the operation panel of the telephone 100 using the telephone card 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the novel card insertion unit 50 and the key input unit 30 of the present invention. , 40). And the display part 20 and the receiver 10 are provided.

Referring to FIG. 2, the phone card 200 includes a first storage unit 210 and a novel second storage unit 220 according to the present invention using magnetic as in the embodiment shown in the drawing. .

The first storage unit 210 is necessary only when using a public telephone, and stores information (for example, a call charge) having the same function as that provided in the form of a magnetic bar on the back of an existing telephone card.

Therefore, when the novel telephone 100 of the present invention is used in a general home or office, the first storage unit 210 is not used.

In addition, the second storage unit 220 stores at least one or more communication connection numbers (for example, international and domestic telephone numbers, portable telephone numbers, or pager numbers) by using the telephone 200.

The phone card 200 is provided such that information stored in the first and second storage units 210 and 220 is not easily damaged, such as an existing phone card, credit card or IC card.

Referring back to FIG. 1, the card insertion unit 50 is a part for inserting / extracting the telephone card.

The key input units 30 and 40 are composed of a function key input unit 30 and a numeric key input unit 40, and the function key input unit 30 includes a plurality of keypads. In particular, a storage key for authorizing recording the input communication access number to the telephone card 200 according to the present invention, and a storage mode key for applying a storage mode for performing the storage.

And a selection key for selecting one of the stored communication access numbers, an automatic dialing key for automatically dialing the selected communication access number, and a deletion key for deleting the recorded communication access number.

Subsequently, the numeric key input unit 40 inputs the communication connection number.

In addition, the display unit 20 displays a menu or a message such that the user can easily operate the processes performed for the communication connection and the communication connection number storage of the phone 100. For example, information on the storing step, information for selecting a stored communication connection number, information input by the key input unit, etc. are displayed on the LCD.

3 shows a control procedure of the telephone 100 according to the present invention.

Referring to the drawing, when the telephone card 200 is inserted in step S300, it is determined in step S302 whether a communication connection number for which the user wishes to perform communication is stored in the card 200. This can be confirmed through the information displayed on the display unit 20.

If the number is stored as a result of the determination, the flow advances to step S322 to select a desired communication connection number. This is done by the input of a selection function key.

Subsequently, if the number is not stored, the flow advances to step S304 to determine whether a storage mode key for authorizing the communication connection number to be stored in the card is input.

If the storage mode key is not input in step S304, the controller recognizes that the communication mode is the general communication mode and proceeds to step S324 to input the communication connection number in the same manner as the general telephone.

When the storage mode key is input, it is determined whether there is a number to be deleted among the numbers stored in the card 200 in step S306. If there is a number to be deleted, the flow advances to step S308 to select the number to be deleted using the selection function key and then deletes the selected number with the deletion function key.

In addition, if there is no number to delete in the step (S306), in step S310 input the communication access number to be stored.

In step S312, it is determined whether a storage function key is input to store the input number. When the storage function key is input in step S312, the process proceeds to step S314 to record and store the input communication connection number in the second storage unit 220 of the card 200.

After the desired communication connection number is selected or the storage is completed, it is determined in step S316 whether the automatic dialing key is input, and if so, the flow advances to step S318 to perform a communication connection.

If the automatic dialing key is not input, the flow advances to step S318 to determine whether to store another communication connection number.

If another number is stored in the step S318, the process proceeds to the step S310 to repeat the storage steps S310 to S314.

The communication connection is performed by the communication access number input in the step S324.

In addition, although not shown in the drawing, when the telephone card is not inserted, the ordinary telephone except the public telephone operates in the normal mode performing the same function as the existing telephone.

Although the above description has described the present invention through the most practical and preferred embodiments, it should be noted that this is only to assist the overall understanding of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope or technical spirit of the present invention.

According to the present invention described above as described above by using a telephone card for storing or deleting at least one or more communication connection number by storing a variety of complicated communication connection number to perform more convenient communication.
