Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent duplicate storage of a telephone number even when a phone call comes from a same party for many number of times in the automatic answering telephone state and to store how many times the opposite party makes a call by revising an incoming call arrival number while incrementing the number by one when the telephone number sent from the opposite party is already stored in a memory in the automatic answering telephone state. CONSTITUTION:When an incoming call reaches, the arrival time is stored and a voice synthesizer 11h is started to guide of a DTMF function to a caller. When an end code is received, the call termination processing is implemented and whether or not a fetched telephone number is already stored in a 2nd memory is checked and when the telephone number is not stored, the arrival call number is set to 1 and it is stored in the 2nd memory 11a-3 together with the telephone number and the arrival time. When the telephone number is stored, the arrival call number is incremented by 1 and the incremented arrival call number is stored in the 2nd memory 11a-3 together with the telephone number and the arrival time or the like.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a method for storing the telephone number of a called party during an answering machine state, and particularly for storing the telephone number of a called party in an answering machine state when the owner is not present. The present invention relates to a method of storing a destination telephone number when a car telephone device is in an answering machine state.

〈Juto Technology〉 Automobile phone equipment is an expansion of Motor Renewal.

The demands from businesses, security departments, etc. are increasing,
1) A function to memorize the call number and name of a large number of callers and display them as needed.C2) A memory storage area for storing telephone numbers and names is used as an abbreviated number.

It is equipped with various functions related to ease of use, including an abbreviated call function for calling using the abbreviated number and (3) an answering machine function. That is, the telephone number and the name of the other party are registered in advance in storage areas 00 to 99 of the first memory (telephone number storage unit), and these can be displayed as appropriate, or the two-digit storage area can be used to correspond to an abbreviated number. When an abbreviated number (storage area) is input, the telephone number corresponding to the abbreviated number is read out from the first memory and made a call, and the telephone number of the other party who receives a call when the owner is not present is stored in the second memory (answering machine). (recipient's telephone number storage unit) and display it as necessary.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> By the way, the second memory that stores the telephone number of the called party when the owner is not present can store the name of the called party, the time of the call, etc. in addition to the telephone number. It's becoming roe. Therefore, a capacity of 11 is required for each L telephone number, and due to cost considerations, the second memory 22 can only store about 20 X telephone numbers at most.

For this reason, if there are more than 20 phone calls while the phone is on answering machine, the old phone number is thrown away and the latest 20 phone numbers are memorized. While I was there, I received a lot of phone calls. When you return to your car, you will call the number of people you called while you were away to erase their memories, but you may have to leave your car again before you can call them all. do. In such a case, the cumulative number of incoming calls exceeds the storage capacity, and old ones are deleted from the memory. In particular, as people in need of an emergency call us over and over again, they are memorized over and over again, and the same phone number is stored in multiple storage areas, increasing the number of phone numbers that can be stored in the memory. There was a problem with decreasing.

In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a telephone number that does not need to be memorized even if the same party calls many times during an answering machine state, and can also remember how many times the same party has called. @Xi To provide a number storage method.

Means for Solving the Problems> The above problem can be solved by using a memory (memory) that stores the latest telephone number among the telephone numbers sent from the other party when a call is received in the answering machine state along with the number of received calls. answering machine phone number storage).

This is achieved by a means for checking whether the telephone number sent from the other party during an answering machine state is already stored in the memory, and a means for updating the number of incoming calls by +1 if it is stored.

<Function> The car filling device is equipped with a memory capable of storing a plurality of the latest telephone numbers among the telephone numbers sent from the other party along with the number of incoming calls during the answering machine state.

It is checked whether the telephone number sent from the other party during the answering machine state is already stored in the memory, and if it is stored, the number of incoming calls is increased by 1 and updated.

As a result, even if the same person calls you even once while you are on answering machine, there is no need to double call, and you can also remember how many times you have called.

If there is a call, the time of incoming call is memorized and the voice synthesizer 11h informs the caller of the DTMF function.
(step 102), and starts counting the time elapsed since the message was sent (step 1o3).

Then, it is monitored whether a DTMF tone (DTMF-Tone) is received (step 104). Furthermore, the opponent is DTM.
If you enter the phone number using the keys according to the guidance message of the F function, a DTMF tone will be sent.5 If you do not receive a DTMF tone, check if one minute has passed (Step 105), if not, DTMF
Wait for a tone to be received, and if one minute passes without receiving a DT~IF tone, store the destination phone number in the second memory 1.
The call is automatically terminated without being stored in la-3 (step 106), and the process ends.

On the other hand, if a DTMF tone is received in step 104, the DTMF tone/code converter 111 converts the received DTMF tone into a code (telephone number, etc.) and takes in the code (step [07).

Next, it is checked whether an end code indicating the end of the call has been received from the other party (step 108); if not, the process from step 105 onward is performed.

However, once the end code is received, the call ends and
Check whether the retrieved telephone number is already stored in the second memory (Step 109); if not, set the number of incoming calls to 1 and store it in the second memory 11a-3 together with the time of incoming call to telephone number 1 ( Step 110). The storage method is as follows: i-th storage area (
i=1.2. The contents of `` ''.) are shifted to the (i+1)th storage area, and the telephone number, etc. are written to the first storage area.

As a result, the latest 20 phone numbers are stored in the second memory 1.
It will be stored in la-3.

On the other hand, if the telephone number sent from the other party is stored in the second memory, the number of incoming calls is increased by +1 (step 111), and the number of incoming calls is f! Episode 1 number.

It is stored in the second memo 'J l 11-:1 together with the time of call arrival, etc. (step 112).

Thereafter, the above process is repeated every time a call is received while the caller is in the answering machine state.

<Effects of the Invention> According to the present invention, a car phone device is provided with a memory capable of storing a plurality of the latest telephone numbers among the telephone numbers sent from the called party during the answering machine state, together with the number of incoming calls. The system is configured to check whether the phone number sent by the other party is already stored in the memory while in answering machine mode, and if it is, the number of incoming calls is updated by +1. Even if the same person calls you many times, there is no need to remember them twice, and you can also remember how many times they have called.
