JPS62248351A - Exchange with voice mail function - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the reception of a message addressed to one's own from anywhere, by checking whether a number sent first from a caller is a password, or a voice mail number, and reproducing the message based on an ID number decided result. CONSTITUTION:An ID number decision circuit 5 decides whether the number sent first from a user coincides with data stored at a password storage part 3, and a voice mail number storage part 4. When a subscriber listens to the message sent to himself/herself, the subscriber dials his/her own subscriber telephone number, and after the connection of a line to a voice mail system, he/she dials his/her own password. The ID number decision circuit 5, when a sent dial number coincides with the data stored in the password storage part, switches a bus to a message reproduction circuit 8. The message reproduction circuit 8 reproduces the message stored in a message storage part 9, and sends it out to the subscriber.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a circuit for an exchange providing voice mail service.

(Prior Art) A voice mail service in a PBX is conventionally known as this type of service.

The voicemail service allows voicemail registration from a specified telephone and delivery of voicemail to other specified telephones, and the service is incidental to the specified telephone. , given to a particular subscriber.

Therefore, we do not provide a post office box service, which is the voice version of a voicemail service where a visitor or a person who has left the registered telephone location can send a voicemail to the desired party.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The above-mentioned conventional telephone set is a voice version in which a visitor or a registered person who leaves the telephone set's location sends a voicemail to the intended party. The disadvantage is that it cannot provide services for post office boxes.

The purpose of the present invention is to send an operating procedure message, check whether the number the caller sends first is a password or a voice mail number, and then play the message based on the number judgment result. An object of the present invention is to provide an exchange with a voice mail function that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and is configured to provide a post office box service.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A switching device with a voice mail function according to the present invention includes a voice mail number storage section, a message storage section, a message recording circuit, a message playback circuit, a password storage section, and a message sending circuit. , an ID number determination circuit, a changeover switch, and a line open monitoring circuit.

The voice mail number storage section stores a telephone number that a subscriber registers as a voice mail number.

It is for.

The message storage section is for storing messages in correspondence with voice mail numbers.

The message recording circuit is for recording a message into the message storage section.

The message reproducing circuit is for reproducing messages from the message storage section.

The password storage section is for registering and storing a password for identifying the subscriber when the subscriber retrieves a message from the message storage section.

The message sending circuit is for sending an operational message to a caller calling the voice mail number in order to post the voice mail in the message storage.

The ID number determination circuit is for identifying a password by an ID number when a voice mail subscriber retrieves his/her own voice mail message from the message storage section.

The changeover switch selects the ID based on the output of the ID number determination circuit.
This is to disconnect the message recording circuit and connect the message reproduction circuit to the ID number determination circuit to switch to the reproduction side only when the number is correct.

The line open monitoring circuit sends an operation stop signal to the message recording circuit and the message reproducing circuit to instruct them to stop their operations when it detects that the line has been opened.

(Example) Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of an exchange with a voice mail function according to the present invention. In Figure 1, 1
is a line open monitoring circuit, 2 is a message sending circuit, 3 is a password storage unit, 4 is a voice mail number storage unit, 5 is an I
D is a number determination circuit, 6 is a changeover switch, T is a message recording circuit, 8 is a message playback circuit, and 9 is a message storage section.

In FIG. 1, a line 101 is a line open monitoring circuit 1 for detecting whether or not the line 100 itself is in an open state.
It is connected to the. The message output path 2 is connected to the line open monitoring circuit 1 and the ID number determining circuit 5.

The ID number determination circuit 5 determines whether the number originally sent by the user matches the data stored in the password storage section 3 and the voice mail number storage section 4.

The changeover switch 6 connects the path of the line 101 to the message recording circuit 7X or the message reproduction circuit 8 in accordance with the output of the number determination circuit 5.

The message recording circuit 7 registers the received audio signal in the message storage section 9. The message reproducing circuit 8 is
The message stored in the message storage section 9 is reproduced and sent to the user. The line open monitoring circuit 1 is the line 10
1 is opened, the functions of both the message recording circuit T and the message reproducing circuit 8 are stopped.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG.

Subscribers who are registered with a voice mail system receive a telephone number and a password to identify themselves as the registered subscriber. When sending a voicemail to a voicemail subscriber, the caller dials the subscriber's telephone number.

The caller uses message sending circuit 2 of the voice mail system.
Dial the subscriber's phone number again according to the instructions sent to you. The ID number determination circuit 5 checks whether the received dial signal matches the data stored in the password storage section 3 or the voice mail number storage section 4. If the two do not match, the message transmission path 2 is activated to prompt retransmission of the number.

If it is determined that the voice mail is registered, the selector switch 6 is activated to connect the path to the message recording circuit 7, and the caller's voice is stored in the message storage section S. When the line open monitoring circuit 1 detects that the calling party has gone on-hook, it stops the message recording circuit T and stops all message registration operations.

Next, if the subscriber wants to listen to messages sent to him, he dials his subscriber telephone number and, once connected to the voicemail system, dials his password. The ID number determining circuit 5 switches the path to the message reproducing circuit 8 when the sent dial signal matches the data stored in the password storage section.

The message reproducing circuit 8 reproduces the message in the message storage section 9 and sends it to the subscriber.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention sends an operating procedure message, checks whether the number sent first by the caller is a password or a poismail number,
By reproducing the message based on the number determination result, the user can receive a message addressed to him from anywhere by simply dialing his subscriber number and password.

Another advantage is that the subscriber can receive such services without owning a telephone set or answering machine.
