Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a telephone, and more particularly to a telephone having a function of transferring a telephone number.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a telephone number used by an unspecified number of people, such as a cellular phone or a public telephone, transmits its own (our) telephone number to a called party (the other party), it is often asked by surrounding people. Sometimes you want to pass on a phone number while keeping it secret. Conventionally, as a telephone set that satisfies such demands, a transmitting unit that converts voice (sound wave) into an electric signal (voice signal) and a receiving unit that converts an input electric signal (voice signal) into voice (sound wave) are known. , A data section for recording audio,
There is a telephone which includes an output unit which outputs a voice recorded in a data unit when specified by an operator.

In this conventional telephone, during a telephone call with another telephone having the same configuration, the telephone number of the telephone is transmitted to the other party (the other party) according to the procedure described below. That is, our telephone number is recorded in advance in the data unit as voice, and if it becomes necessary to tell our telephone number secretly to the other party during a call, the output of the telephone number is output to the output unit. To be specified.

[0004] Then, the output unit outputs the voice related to the telephone number recorded in the data unit, that is, the telephone number of the user, to the transmitting unit. The transmitting unit converts the voice of the inputted telephone number into an electric signal and transfers the electric signal to the other side. As described above, conventionally, the voice is used to convey the telephone number to the other party.

[0005]

However, since the above-mentioned conventional telephone transmits the telephone number to the other party by voice, there is a problem that the other party misses the telephone number. There is also a problem that the transferred telephone number is asked to a third party.

As a telephone similar to this conventional telephone, when an incoming call arrives at a telephone transfer device in which a telephone number of a transfer destination is registered, the telephone number of the caller is stored in a memory, and after a call is temporarily disconnected, 2. Description of the Related Art There has been known a telephone which, when a call is transmitted from a telephone transfer device to a telephone having a registered transfer destination telephone number and responds, the telephone number of the caller stored in the memory is notified by voice ( JP-A-2-151158). However, this conventional telephone has the same problem as described above because the telephone number is transmitted by voice to the telephone of the registered transfer destination telephone number which is the other party.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above points,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a telephone capable of preventing a telephone number from being mistakenly heard and a telephone number from being leaked to a third party around the other party.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a transmitter for converting input voice into a voice signal which is an electric signal and outputting the voice signal to a line, and an input via the line. The receiving part that converts the voice signal into the voice, the dial part that outputs the dialable signal according to the telephone number to the line by the input of the telephone number, and the voice signal that can dial the arbitrary telephone number in advance. When the dialing signal is input from the other party, it is recorded in the recording unit by a specific operation. It is configured to have an output unit that selectively reads out a voice relating to an arbitrary telephone number and sends it to the line as a signal form that can be dialed through the transmitter.

Further, according to the present invention, when the specific operation is performed during a call with the other party, the output section is converted into voice and dialed for any telephone number recorded in the recording section. A telephone that records possible signals from the recording unit and sends them to the line via the transmitter unit, and if a specific operation is performed at the time of calling, converts them to voice and records them in the recording unit during the call before disconnecting. The dialable signal related to the number is read from the recording unit and transmitted to the line via the transmitter.

[0010]

According to the present invention, the recorded voice is selectively read out by a specific operation from the recording unit in which a dialable signal relating to an arbitrary telephone number such as own telephone number is converted into voice and recorded. Since the signal is transmitted to the line via the transmitter, it is possible to transfer an arbitrary telephone number such as the own telephone number to the telephone of the other party as a dialable signal. Further, since the dialable signal transferred from the other party during the call is recorded in the recording section, the telephone number of the telephone of the other party can be recorded in the recording section.

Further, according to the present invention, a dialable signal relating to a telephone number, which is converted into voice and recorded in the recording unit at the time of a call before disconnection at the time of calling, is read from the recording unit and sent to the line through the transmitting unit. By doing so, the line can be reconnected to the telephone of the other party before disconnection without operating the dial section.

[0012]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. Telephones 11 and 21 are telephones according to the present embodiment, one of which is a calling side and the other is a called side, which are used by operators 10 and 20, respectively. The telephones 11 and 21 are connected via the public line 30 during a call.

The telephones 11 and 21 have the same configuration, and the telephone 11 includes a transmitting unit 12, a receiving unit 13, a dial unit 14, a recording unit 15, and an output unit 16,
The telephone 21 also has a transmission section 22, a reception section 23, and a dial section 2
4, a recording unit 25 and an output unit 26.

The transmitting units 12 and 22 perform sound-to-electric conversion of the inputted sound (sound wave) to output a sound signal which is an electric signal. The receivers 13 and 23 generate sound (sound waves) by performing electro-acoustic conversion on the audio signal input via the public line 30. Dial parts 14 and 2
The telephone numbers 4 are input by the operators 10 and 20, respectively, and generate dialable tone signals corresponding to the input telephone numbers.

Each of the recording units 15 and 25 stores in advance a signal form of a tone signal which is a dialable signal of its own telephone number, and a signal obtained by further converting this into a voice is recorded. Sometimes the voice of the input tone signal is recorded. The output units 16 and 26 are provided in the recording unit 15 when the operators 10 and 20 specify them.
And the sound of the tone signal recorded in 25 is output to the transmitters 12 and 22.

Further, the public line (switch) 30 is a telephone 1
When a tone signal indicating a telephone number is input when the telephone 1 and the telephone 21 are not connected, the telephone 11 and the telephone 21 are connected.
When the telephone 11 and the telephone 22 are connected, the voice input from one is transmitted to the other.

Next, regarding the operation of the present system, the operator 10 makes a call to the telephone 21 with the telephone 11, transmits the telephone number of the telephone 11, once disconnects the telephone, and the operator 20 makes a call to the telephone 11 with the telephone 21. The case will be described as an example with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the operator 10 operates the dial unit 14 of the telephone 11 to designate a telephone number for inputting the telephone number of the telephone 21 (step 41). Then, the dial unit 14 generates a tone signal according to the input telephone number of the telephone 21 and sends it to the public line 30, so that the public line 30 connects the telephones 11 and 21 by a known method. Then, the call is made available (step 42).

Then, a telephone call is started between the telephones 11 and 21, and if it is necessary to transfer the telephone number of the telephone 11 to the telephone 21 during this telephone call, the operator 10 A telephone number transfer operation such as pressing a specific button of the telephone 11 is performed (step 43).
Then, the output unit 16 of the telephone 11 reads out the tone signal relating to the telephone number of the telephone 11 itself which is converted into voice and recorded in the recording unit 15 in advance, and inputs the tone signal to the transmitting unit 12, where the sound-electric conversion is performed. The telephone number is transmitted by converting it into a tone signal relating to the telephone number of the telephone 11 itself and transferring it to the public line 30 (step 4).
4).

The public line 30 causes the tone signal from the telephone 11, that is, the telephone number of the telephone 11 itself to be received by the receiving section 23 of the telephone 21 (step 45). As a result, the receiving section 23 converts the tone signal relating to the telephone number of the telephone 11 which has received the call into the voice and then inputs it into the recording section 25 for recording (step 46). Thereafter, when the call is terminated, the public line 30 disconnects the line between the telephone 11 and the telephone 21 in a known manner by a disconnection process by the operator 10 or 20 (step 47).

Thus, according to this embodiment, the telephone 1
The telephone 1 can be easily operated by the operator 10
Since the telephone number of 1 is transferred to the telephone 21 in the form of a tone signal instead of voice and automatically recorded, the telephone 21 can reliably record and hold the tone signal of the telephone number of the telephone 11 in the form of voice, and the telephone Even if a third party around 21 hears the tone signal as a voice, it cannot be identified as a telephone number, so that the leakage of the telephone number to a third party can be substantially prevented.

If the operator 20 makes a call to the telephone 11 with the telephone 21 after the line is disconnected after the above-mentioned telephone number transfer processing is performed, the operator 20 operates the telephone 21 instead of operating the dial section 24. A telephone number re-designation operation is performed by pressing a specific button (step 48). Then, the output unit 26 selectively reads out the tone signal related to the telephone number of the telephone set 11 recorded in the recording unit 25 in the form of voice, inputs the tone signal into the transmitting unit 22, and converts it into the tone signal. The call is sent to the public line 30 (step 49).

As a result, the public line 30 connects the line between the telephone 11 and the telephone 21 having the telephone number corresponding to the input tone signal, and puts the telephone into a communicable state (step 50). As described above, according to the present embodiment, even if the operator 20 of the telephone 21 does not know the telephone number of the telephone 11, the telephone number is recorded in the recording unit 25, so that the telephone connection with the telephone 11 can be reliably performed. You can connect.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the telephone numbers prerecorded in the recording units 15 and 25 are own telephone numbers, but instead of this,
Alternatively, the telephone number of the transfer destination which can be selected and read together with the own telephone number and other operators 1
Arbitrary telephone numbers 0 and 20 can be recorded.

[0025]

As described above, according to the present invention,
From a recording unit in which a dialable signal relating to an arbitrary telephone number is recorded in the form of voice in advance, the recorded voice is selectively read out by a specific operation and transmitted to the line via the transmitter. Since an arbitrary telephone number read from the recording unit is transferred in the signal form of a dialable signal, it is possible to transfer an arbitrary telephone number such as the telephone number of the own telephone to a surrounding third party in a secret state. , Even if the dialing signal received by the third party around the telephone of the other party is not recognized as the voice of the telephone number even if it is heard as voice, the leakage of the telephone number to the third party is also practical. It can be prevented.

Further, according to the present invention, the dialable signal transferred from the other party during the call is converted into voice and recorded in the recording section, thereby recording the telephone number of the other party's telephone. Since it can be recorded in the section, it is possible to prevent mistakes in listening to the telephone number, and it is possible to reliably record and retain the telephone number of the other party's telephone.
