Abstract

In a telephone terminal requiring an outside-line special number, usability for the user to use transmission history is improved. A telephone terminal includes a transmission instruction reception unit that receives a transmission instruction in which a predetermined dial number is specified, a transmission unit that executes transmission processing based on the dial number specified, and a transmission number storage processing unit that stores a transmission number in a storage unit, wherein the transmission number storage processing unit stores, by removing a predetermined outside-line special number which is to be added or has been added to the dial number specified in the transmission instruction reception unit, the dial number as the transmission number.

Claims

1. A telephone terminal, characterized by comprising:

a transmission instruction reception unit that receives a transmission instruction in which a predetermined dial number is specified;

a transmission unit that executes transmission processing based on the specified dial number; and

a transmission number storage processing unit that stores a transmission number in a storage unit, wherein

the transmission number storage processing unit stores the dial number as the transmission number by removing a predetermined outside-line special number which is to be added or has been added to the dial number specified in the transmission instruction reception unit.

2. The telephone terminal in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the transmission number storage processing unit operates before the transmission unit executes the transmission processing and directly stores the dial number specified in the transmission instruction reception unit as the transmission number.

3. The telephone terminal in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the transmission number storage processing unit detects the outside-line special number already added to the dial number and deletes the outside-line special number to store the dial number as the transmission number.

4. The telephone terminal in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the transmission unit includes a function in which the transmission unit automatically adds the outside-line special number to the specified dial number and executes transmission processing based on the number to which the outside-line special number has been added.

5. The telephone terminal in accordance with claim 4, characterized by comprising a communication unit respectively connectible to an extension network enabling an extension call and to a cellular network, wherein

the transmission unit detects whether or not the transmission instruction is an outside-line transmission instruction via the extension network, and executes, if the transmission instruction is an outside-line transmission instruction via the extension network, transmission processing based on the number obtained by adding the outside-line special number to the specified dial number.

6. The telephone terminal in accordance with claim 5, characterized in that the transmission unit detects whether the transmission is outside-line transmission or extension transmission on the basis of the specified dial number, and executes, if the transmission is outside-line transmission via the extension network, the transmission processing based on the number obtained by adding the outside-line special number to the specified dial number.

7. A computer-readable medium storing a program which makes a telephone terminal implement:

a transmission instruction reception unit that receives a transmission instruction in which a predetermined dial number is specified;

a transmission unit that executes transmission processing based on the specified dial number; and

a transmission number storage processing unit that stores the dial number as the transmission number in a storage unit by removing a predetermined outside-line special number which is to be added or has been added to the dial number specified in the transmission instruction reception unit.

8. A transmission method performed by a telephone terminal, characterized by comprising the steps of:

receiving a transmission instruction in which a predetermined dial number is specified; and

executing transmission processing to record a transmission number before and after the transmission processing, wherein

the telephone terminal records, when recording the transmission number, the dial number by removing a predetermined outside-line special number which is to be added or has been added to a dial number of a transmission destination, as the transmission number.

9. The transmission method in accordance with claim 8, characterized in that the telephone terminal directly stores the specified dial number as the transmission number before the transmission processing.

10. The transmission method in accordance with claim 8, characterized in that the telephone terminal detects the outside-line special number already added to the specified dial number and deletes the outside-line special number to store the dial number as the transmission number.

11. The transmission method in accordance with claim 8, characterized in that the telephone terminal adds a predetermined outside-line special number to execute the transmission processing.

12. The transmission method in accordance with claim 11, characterized in that:

the telephone terminal is connectible to an extension network enabling an extension call and to a cellular network; and

the telephone terminal receives the transmission instruction, detects whether or not the transmission instruction is an outside-line transmission instruction via the extension network, and executes if the transmission instruction is an outside-line transmission instruction via the extension network, the transmission processing based on the number obtained by adding the outside-line special number to the specified dial number.

13. The transmission method in accordance with claim 12, characterized in that the telephone terminal detects whether the transmission is outside-line transmission or extension transmission on the basis of the specified dial number, and executes, if the transmission is outside-line transmission via the extension network, the transmission processing based on the number obtained by adding the outside-line special number to the specified dial number.
