The present invention is characterized in that it comprises a telephone number reading means for reading out the telephone number, and an automatic dialing means for dialing the telephone number read by the telephone number reading means.

<Embodiment> FIG. 2 shows a schematic structure of a business card used in the automatic dialing system of this embodiment. Business card card a is
A magnetic film (hereinafter referred to as "Magcoat") with business card information (name, address, and phone number) magnetically recorded on the bottom of the printed company name (1 name, address, and phone number) on the surface.
FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the automatic dialing system of this embodiment.

The CPUI is connected to various interfaces and memories described below, and controls the entire system. The main memory 2 stores a control program executed by the CPUI. The floppy disk 3 stores the control program and a plurality of registered business card information. This business card information consists of nine company names, addresses, and telephone numbers.

Loading the program on the floppy disk 3 into the main memory 2, reading out and registering business card information, etc. are performed via the Fronby disk interface 4. The kanji ROM 5 stores kanji information necessary when creating business card information to be recorded on the business card a. The document memory 6 stores the business card information read from the business card card a or the business card card a.
Temporarily stores business card information to be recorded in the . This document memory 6 includes a CRT display buffer. The image scanner 7 reads various documents and converts them into digital signals. The image memory 8 receives and stores information read by the image scanner 7 via the image scanner interface 9. The printer 10 inputs information stored in various memories via a printer interface 12 based on signals from a printer character generator 11 and prints it on paper. The CRT 13 displays various information input via the CRT interface 15 based on signals from the CRT character generator 14.

The card league recorder 16 reads business card information from the mug coat b of the aforementioned business card card a, and records the business card information on the mug coat b. card league recorder 16
Input/output of information read from the business card a and information recorded on the business card a is performed via the card reader/recorder interface 17. keyboard 1
8, information to be recorded on the business card a, various commands, etc. are entered manually by an operator's operation. keyboard 18
The information Wx from is inputted via the keyboard interface 19.

The auto dialer 20 dials a telephone number selected by the operator from among the telephone numbers of the business card information read from the business card a or the floppy disk 3 and displayed on the CRT 13, and sends a single dial signal to the telephone 21.
from there via the NCU 25 and telephone line 23. The transmission control circuit 22 controls the exchange of various information via the telephone line 23. The modem 24 is connected to the telephone line 2
Information is sent and received via 3. An NCU (network control unit) 25 is a circuit that interfaces between the telephone line 23 and this system, and switches the connection of the telephone 21 and modem 24 to the telephone line 23.

FIG. 3 shows the processing procedure of this automatic dialing system.

First, the operator selects whether to read the telephone number from the business card a or from the floppy disk 3 (step #1), and if it is the business card a, the business card a is set in the card recorder 16 (
Step #2), the card league recorder 16 reads business card information (Step #3). When the floppy disk 3 is selected, business card information is read from the floppy disk 3 according to the operator's keystrokes (step #4).

When the business card information is read out, it is determined whether or not there is a telephone number in this business card information (step #5). If there is no telephone number, the process returns to step #1, and if there is a telephone number, this information is stored in the document memory 6. Write your phone number (step #
6) and display this phone number on the CRT 13 (
Step #7).

Then, the desired telephone number is selected by the operator (
Step #8).

Once a telephone number is selected, the operator further determines whether to register the telephone number (step #9).
), when registering, register to floppy disk 3 (
Step #10). Next, the operator determines whether to dial the phone number (step #1).
1) If not dialing, return to step #1; if dialing, read the telephone number from document memory 6 (step #12). Then, the autodialer 20 automatically dials this phone number (step #13)
.

<Effects of the Invention> As explained above, in the present invention, the telephone number of the business card information is read from the business card or the information storage means,
Since this telephone number is automatically dialed, dialing operations can be simplified and errors can be reduced.
