Abstract

An automatic dialing system includes a telephone directory database configured to store first terminal information which includes a first telephone directory and first identification information and second terminal information which includes a second telephone directory and second identification information. An instruction receiving unit is configured to receive a dialing instruction. A telephone directory search unit is configured to search for a telephone directory. A mobile device connection unit is configured to connect the second mobile device corresponding to the automatic dialing system, when the found telephone directory corresponds with the second telephone directory. A dialing control unit is configured to dial a phone number corresponding to the received instruction through the second mobile device, when the found telephone directory corresponds with the second telephone directory.

Claims

1. An automatic dialing system connected to a first mobile device among a plurality of mobile devices, which include the first mobile device and a second mobile device, the automatic dialing system comprising:

a telephone directory database configured to store first terminal information which comprises a first telephone directory and first identification information corresponding to the first mobile device and second terminal information which comprises a second telephone directory and second identification information corresponding to the second mobile device; and

a processor including;

an instruction receiving unit configured to receive a voice dialing instruction;

a telephone directory search unit configured to search for a telephone directory based on the received voice dialing instruction;

a mobile device connection unit configured to connect the first mobile device to the automatic dialing system, and release connection between the first mobile device and the automatic dialing system and connect the second mobile device to the automatic dialing system when the found telephone directory does not correspond with the first telephone directory but corresponds with the second telephone directory; and

a dialing control unit configured to dial a phone number corresponding to the received voice dialing instruction through the first mobile device when the found telephone directory corresponds with the first telephone directory, and dial a phone number corresponding to the received voice dialing instruction through the second mobile device when the found telephone directory corresponds with the second telephone directory,

wherein the mobile device connection unit connects the second mobile device to the automatic dialing system through a communication network based on the second identification information, when the found telephone directory corresponds with the second telephone directory.

2. The automatic dialing system of claim 1, wherein the instruction receiving unit receives the voice dialing instruction as a driver'"'"'s voice instruction and performs voice recognition.

3. The automatic dialing system of claim 1, wherein the first identification information and the second identification information are media access control (MAC) addresses.

4. The automatic dialing system of claim 1, wherein the processor further comprises:

a dialing guide unit configured to output connection information of the second mobile device and dialing information as a reception result of the voice dialing instruction when the found telephone directory corresponds with the second telephone directory.

5. The automatic dialing system of claim 1, wherein the processor further comprises:

a dialing guide unit configured to output connection information of the first mobile device and dialing information as a reception result of the voice dialing instruction when the found telephone directory corresponds with the first telephone directory.

6. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium that stores a program having instructions that, when executed by a processor, performs an automatic dialing method using an automatic dialing system that is connected to a first mobile device of a plurality of mobile devices, which include the first mobile device and a second mobile device, by causing the processor to perform steps comprising:

storing first terminal information that includes a first telephone directory and first identification information which correspond to the first mobile device, and second terminal information that includes a second telephone directory and second identification information which correspond to the second mobile device;

receiving a voice dialing instruction;

searching for a telephone directory based on the received voice dialing instruction;

connecting the first mobile device to the automatic dialing system;

releasing connection between the first mobile device and the automatic dialing system and connecting the second mobile device to the automatic dialing system, when the found telephone directory does not correspond with the first telephone directory but corresponds with the second telephone directory;

dialing a phone number corresponding to the received voice instruction through the first mobile device, when the found telephone directory corresponds with the first telephone directory; and

dialing a phone number corresponding to the received voice dialing instruction through the second mobile device, when the found telephone directory corresponds with the second telephone directory,

wherein the step of connecting comprises connecting the second mobile device to the automatic dialing system based on second identification information, when the found telephone directory corresponds with the second telephone directory.

7. The computer readable recording medium of claim 6, wherein the step of receiving the voice dialing instruction comprises receiving and recognizing a driver'"'"'s voice instruction.

8. The computer readable recording medium of claim 6, wherein the first identification information and the second identification information include media access control (MAC) addresses.

9. The computer readable recording medium of claim 6, further comprising outputting connection information of the second mobile device and dialing information as a reception result of the voice dialing instruction, when the found telephone directory corresponds with the second telephone directory.
