Abstract

PURPOSE:To send messages by receiving information related to the transmission of transmission destination information or the like of voice data and storing this information in a storage means and transmitting voice data in the storage means to a prescribed destination based on stored information. CONSTITUTION:A transmitter calls a telephone, which is connected to the system of his own office, from an external telephone to transmit a signal indicating message registration. When a first signal is transmitted from the transmitter, the classification of the signal is discriminated, and a receiving part is switched by a reception automatic switching part 13. In case of a sound signal, it is converted to a digital signal and is stored in an external storage because it is a message. The transmission destination telephone number is stored as a number by correspondence to preliminarily determined numbers, and the transmission time is stored by similar procedures. Thereafter, the message is automatically transmitted at the appointed time.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a communication device for communicating voice data.

[Conventional example]

Conventionally, in an answering machine, a dial signal is sent from an external telephone via a line to put the telephone into a recording mode and a message is sent. However, such an answering machine has the drawback that the caller must make a predetermined dial each time at the handset of the telephone, which is extremely troublesome.

(Objective) An object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the above-mentioned conventional example and to provide a communication device that can transmit messages with simple operations.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of this embodiment, and the second
The figure is an external view of this embodiment.

In Figure 1, 1 is a public line, 2 is a telephone, 3 is a network control unit NCU, 4 is an A/D, D
/A converter, 5 is a CPU which is the central processing unit of the personal computer, 6 is the main memory of the parts pal computer for storing the control program and data of the CPU 5, 7 is an external storage device, 8 is a CRT, 9 is a keyboard , 10 is a system bus that connects each part of this system, 11 is an extension length unit, 12 is a personal computer main body, 13 is an automatic reception switching section, 14 is a dial pulse type receiving section, and 15 is an acoustic type receiving section. be. 3 to 5 are flowcharts showing the control operation of the CPLJ 5 in this embodiment. The operation of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to flowcharts from FIGS. 2 and 5.

First, the caller makes a call from an external phone to a phone connected to the system in his or her office.

In step S1 of the flowchart of FIG. 3, the NCU 3 of the block diagram of FIG. 1 switches the line so that the signal flows to the personal computer.

In step S2, a signal is waited for. Since this is different from a normal conversation, the caller sends a signal from an external phone indicating that the message is being registered. If the signal to be sent is a dial pulse, use "i" + 'o.

~°9° is assumed to be a numerical input, and the second digit represents 0 to 9. Commands or passwords shall be assigned a two-digit number that does not begin with 1°.

In the case of an acoustic type, the speaker is assumed to have a transmitter. For example, let's say that this transmitter can produce 10 types of sounds, and if signal 0 to signal 9 is signal 1 + signal O ~
Signal 9 is used as a number input, and the second signal is the number O or 6.
9. A combination of two signals starting with signal 1 shall be assigned to the command or password. When the first signal is sent from the speaker, the type of signal is determined, and the automatic reception switching section 13 shown in block diagram 3 of FIG. 1 switches the receiving section.

If the signal is a dial pulse type signal, the process advances to step D1 in the flowchart of FIG. 4, and if it is an acoustic type signal, the process advances to step T1 in the flowchart of FIG. Fourth
In step D1 of the flowchart shown in the figure, when a signal is received, it goes to step D2 and determines whether it is a predetermined number for registration. If it is different, the third
The line is disconnected at step 13 in the flowchart shown in FIG. If correct, proceed to step D3,
You will have to wait for human power at the traffic lights.

Here, it is determined whether it is an audio signal or not. If it is an audio signal, since it is a message, the process goes to step D4, where it is converted into digital data and stored in external storage.

If it is not a voice signal, it is determined in step D5 whether the number is the end of the message, and if not, the process waits for the next signal. Once completed, the next step is to enter the telephone number and wait for a dial pulse signal. When a signal comes in, it is determined whether the number is manually terminated or not, and if it is not a manually terminated number, it is stored as a destination phone number in correspondence with a predetermined number and waits for the next input. . When the input of the telephone number is completed in step D7, the next step is to input the transmission time, which is entered manually using the same procedure.

In step D12, there are three types of signals for ending transmission time input; one is to terminate by disconnecting the line, one is to send the same message to a different party, and one is to input another message. Finally, go to step λ1 in the flowchart of FIG. 3, disconnect the line, and then automatically make a call at the specified time.

On the other hand, when a signal is received at step T1 in the flowchart of FIG. 5, the process proceeds to step T2, where it is determined whether the signal is for predetermined registration. If it is different (
If it is not a signal for registration, the process goes to step 13 of the flowchart in FIG. 3, where the line is disconnected and the process ends. If it is correct, step T2 to step T
3 and had to wait for human power at the traffic lights. In step T3, it is determined whether it is an audio signal, and if it is an audio signal, it is a message, so the process goes to step T4, where it is converted into a digital signal.
If the signal is not a voice signal, it is determined in step T5 whether it is a message end signal or not, and if not, the process waits for the next human signal. Once finished, the next step is to enter your phone number and wait for an audio signal. When a signal comes in, it is determined whether it is an input end signal or not, and if it is not a manual input end signal, it is stored as a destination telephone number as a number in correspondence with a predetermined number, and the system waits for the next manual input. When the input of the telephone number is completed in step T7, the next step is to input the transmission time manually, and the same procedure is followed.

In step T12, there are three types of signals for manually ending the transmission time; one is to terminate by disconnecting the line, one is to send the same message to a different party, and one is to input another message. Finally, the process goes to step L1 in the flowchart of FIG. 3, the line is disconnected, and the call is made automatically at the specified time.

As described above, in this embodiment, the operator makes a telephone call to a personal computer that he or she owns, stores the message destination, message time, and message in the personal computer system, and sends a message from the personal computer system to the specified destination. Messages can be transmitted to any party using the same operation.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the transmission destination and transmission time can be set for each message, so it is possible to transmit the same message to multiple destinations and to transmit different messages to multiple destinations. I can do it.

In this embodiment, the personal computer expansion unit 1
1 is inserted and the voice messages are managed by the personal computer, so the functions of the personal computer can be improved and used effectively.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the one in which messages are managed by the personal computer of this embodiment described above, but may be a device exclusively for message transmission.

(Effects) As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to send messages in a simple manner.
