JPS6196856A - Talking voice storage system using ic card - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To transfer a talking voice stored when an identification number of an IC card loaded to an IC card reader/writer is coincident with the designated identification number into the IC card and reproduce the voice from a handset by storing the opposite talking voice and the identification number of the IC card designated by the opposite party to a telephone set. CONSTITUTION:When a handset is not hooked off within a prescribed time, the line is connected automatically, the identification number of the IC card of an object person is received from a telephone set of sender, stored in an area M1a of a memory 14, the voice input from a caller is compressed and digitized and stored in area M1c in the memory. When an incoming confirming button 2c is depressed, the identification number of the IC card stored in the memory and the reception time of the telephone call are displayed and when the voice information designating the identification number of the own IC card exists, the own IC card is loaded to an IC card reader/writer 4. Whether or not the number is coincident with the identification number displayed on the display is discriminated and whether it is reproduced in voice or it is transferred to the RAM6c of the loaded IC card is selected.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Technical Field The present invention relates to telephones, and more particularly to telephones that store telephone calls when the intended recipient is absent.

(b1 Background of the invention When making a telephone call, it is not possible to confirm whether or not the intended recipient is present until the line is connected, but if the intended recipient is not present, the message must be sent to another person.) If there is no one who can operate the telephone, if the telephone is equipped with a so-called answering machine, a message will be input into the device and the fact that the call was made or the message will be conveyed to the other party. In either case, the contents of the message are not kept confidential from others, and requesting a message takes time for the other person, and the message is played back on the answering machine to confirm whether there is a call to the person. This was not desirable because it took a long time.

(C) Purpose of the Invention In view of the above-mentioned current situation, this invention is an IC that stores the contents of the message in the memory of the telephone even when the intended recipient of the telephone call is absent, and promptly reproduces the stored contents only to the intended recipient. The purpose of this invention is to provide a call voice storage system using a card.

(d) Structure and Effects of the Invention This invention provides a storage means for storing, in the telephone, the voice of the other party and the identification number of the IC card specified by the user;
IC card reader/writer and this IC card reader/
output means for transmitting the call voice stored in the storage means to the IC card or reproducing it to the receiver when the identification number of the IC card inserted into the writer matches the designated identification number; Features.

With the above configuration, even when the intended recipient of a call made to the telephone packing machine is absent, the caller specifies the identification number of the IC card owned by the intended recipient, and then When you speak the message you wish to contact through the telephone, the telephone stores the identification number and the voice of the call in its memory. The audio of the call is compressed, digitized, and stored using the IC card's identification number as a password. Therefore, only when the intended recipient inserts his/her own IC card into the IC card reader/writer, the information can be reproduced or transferred to the IC card. This allows for reliable and prompt telephone contact. On the other hand, other people cannot easily know the contents, and the confidentiality of the contents of the communication can be maintained.

(e) Embodiment FIG. 2 is an external view of a telephone used in a call voice storage system using an IC card, which is an embodiment of the present invention. A receiver l is hung on a telephone hook (not shown). The front panel of the phone has a keyboard 2. A display 3 is installed, and an IC card insertion slot for an IC card reader/writer 4 is open on the side. The keyboard 2 includes a memory button 2a, an end button 2b, and an incoming call confirmation button 2C.

A display 33 is used to compress and digitize the call voice via the 8-G bus, and a voice information compression device 9 is used to decipher the IC card identification number sent from the destination of the call.
1. Memory 14 for storing audio information, etc. A speech synthesis unit 12 that synthesizes compressed and digitized speech information into audible speech.・The above keyboard 2. An IC card reader/writer 42 is connected to a clock 15 for measuring call times and the like. An amplifier 13 is connected to the speech synthesis unit 12, a speech information compression device 9, a number decoding device 11. Amplifying device 13 is connected to telephone main body 10 .

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the main part of the memory 14. As shown in FIG.

This memory has n audio information storage areas (area M1
~Mn) are set. Area Mla in area MI has a designated identification number, area Mlb has a reception time,
Area Mlc stores audio information obtained by compressing and digitizing audio from the other end of the telephone call using an audio information compression device 9, and stores an end signal at the end of the audio information.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the telephone. If there is a call from another phone, step nl (
Hereinafter, step ni will be simply referred to as ni. ), it is determined whether the handset is manually picked up and the hook is turned on within a certain period of time. If the handset is picked up, a normal call is being made, so the connection of the line to the handset is maintained until the memory button 2a is pressed at n2 or the handset is hung on the hook and turned off at n3. If the handset is hung on the hook and turned off, it is assumed that the normal call has ended and the line is disconnected and stopped.

On the other hand, if the handset is not picked up within a certain period of time in nl, it is determined that the person operating the telephone is absent, and the line is automatically connected (n4). If the memory button 2a is pressed after the operation at n4 or at n2, it is assumed that the intended recipient of this call is absent, and the process proceeds to n5. At step n5, the identification number of the target person's IC card is received from the destination telephone and stored in area M 1 a of the memory 14 . At n6, the voice input from the destination is compressed and digitized by the voice information compression device 9 and stored in the memory area Mlc. If the end signal is received at n7, it will stop.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the procedure for making a call to the telephone set. Dial (or key in) the phone number like a normal phone with nil. Next n12~n
In operation 14, it is determined whether or not there is an intended recipient at the destination of the call. If there is no one operating the telephone at the destination, the line is automatically connected, so it is determined that the intended recipient is absent (n12) and the process proceeds to n15. Further, even if the handset is manually picked up, if the intended recipient is not present (n13, n14), the process proceeds to n15.

At n15, after dialing (keying in) the identification number of the target person's IC card, talk about the details of the contact n16

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of calling up voice information when it is stored in the telephone.

When the incoming call confirmation button 2C is pressed, the IC card identification number stored in the memory at n20 and the time the call was received are displayed. This display is displayed in order from the most recent one by pressing the confirmation button. If there is no voice information specifying the identification number of your own IC card, press the end button at n21 to end the process. If there is voice information specifying the identification number of your IC card, the IC card reader/writer 4
Insert your own IC card into (n22). At n23, it is determined whether the identification number of the inserted IC card matches the identification number displayed on the display at that time, and if they match, n24. The process waits until it is selected at n25 whether to reproduce the audio using the telephone receiver or to transfer the data to the RAM 6c of the inserted IC card. This selection is [*
] to select playback, and press # to select transfer. If playback is selected, the process proceeds to n26 based on the judgment at n24, and the audio information stored in the memory 14 is transferred to the audio synthesis unit 12. After reproducing the audio information using the amplifier 13 and outputting it from the receiver 1 (n26), the area where the audio information was stored is cleared and the audio information is stopped. I at n2゛5
If it is determined that transfer to a C card has been selected, the IC
The audio information is transferred to the RAM 6c of the card, the area in the memory 14 where the audio information was stored is cleared, and the process is stopped.

If the identification number of the IC card inserted in n23 does not match the displayed identification number, a message will be displayed indicating that this IC card cannot read voice information, and the IC card will be ejected. n28 )Stop.

If you use the call voice storage system using an IC card configured as described above, even when the person you are calling is not present, you can speak the message you want to contact through the transmitter and store it in the memory of the other party's phone. Therefore, contact using the telephone can be carried out quickly and reliably. In addition, the audio content of the contact is compressed, digitized, and stored in memory, and the password is the identification number of the IC card owned by the person who is the purpose of the contact, so it is not easy for others to know the content. This is not possible, and the confidentiality of communications is maintained.
