In addition, if the data of the corresponding ARS number is erased from the display data of the display memory 30, and the dialing function for the predetermined ARS number is set by the function setting unit 54, The ARS number code is applied to the dialing processing unit 44 to enable dialing, and the ARS service voice processed by the call signal processing unit 46 can be output through the voice switching unit 48. And controls so as to.

Next, the operation of the present invention made as described above will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3.

First, when a television broadcast signal of a predetermined channel is tuned through the tuner 4 in step 60 and amplified by an intermediate frequency by the image IF unit 6, it is detected by the image detector 8 and the image amplifier 10. The video signal amplified by the video signal is reproduced through the CRT 16 through the video signal processing by the video signal processing unit 12 and the amplifying operation of the video output unit 14, and the audio signal is the voice detector 34 The audio signal is output through the speaker 52 through the power amplification of the voice output unit 50 through the voice signal processing operation of the voice signal processing unit 38 through the detection operation of the voice amplifier and the signal amplification unit 36.

At this time, the data slicer 22 extracts the transmission data superimposed on the vertical retrace period by the composite synchronization signal separated by the synchronization separating unit 18, and the data decoder 24 programs the extracted transmission data. Decoding process based on the control program data of the memory 26 to extract a plurality of ARS number codes assigned to a plurality of ARS service companies to store in the memory 56, and through the font data of the font memory 28 The display data for displaying the plurality of ARS number codes is generated and stored in the display memory 30.

On the other hand, when the ARS mode key 54A of the function setting unit 54 is operated in step 61 and the ARS service mode is set, the controller 58 controls the data decoder 24 to control the ARS from the display memory 30. The display data for displaying the number is displayed on the screen by the display signal processing of the display signal processing unit 32 (see FIG. 2A), and a predetermined ARS number among the plurality of ARS numbers assigned to the plurality of ARS service companies displayed on the screen. When the erasing key 54C of the function setting unit 54 is keyed to erase the key, the corresponding ARS number code is deleted from the plurality of ARS number codes stored in the memory 56. The data of the corresponding ARS number is deleted from the display data of 30).

Subsequently, the process proceeds to step 62 where the control unit 58 determines that the dialing key 54D of the function setting unit 54 is selected from among the plurality of ARS numbers displayed on the CRT 16 screen as shown in FIG. 2A. A predetermined number is designated to determine whether or not a key is operated.

As a result of the determination in step 62, if it is determined that the dialing key 54D of the function setting unit 54 is not being operated, the control proceeds to step 63 to release the ARS service mode and select through the tuner 4. The television broadcast signal of the predetermined channel is reproduced normally.

However, if it is determined in step 62 that the dialing key 54D of the function setting unit 54 is performing a key operation for dialing a predetermined ARS number, then control proceeds to step 64, and the hook switch 42 Hooking off, reads the corresponding ARS number code from the memory 56 and outputs it to the dialing processor 44 so that dialing is performed.

In that state, the process proceeds to step 65 where the control unit 58 determines whether or not a call is received with the desired ARS service company through the telephone lines L1 and L2.

As a result of the determination in step 65, if it is determined that a call is not received with the desired ARS service company, the control proceeds to step 66, in which the dialing key 54D of the function setting unit 54 releases the dialing operation. It is determined whether the key is operated again.

As a result of the determination in step 66, if it is determined that the dialing key 54D of the function setting unit 54 is not being key operated again, the process proceeds to step 64, but the dialing key 54D is being key operated. If it is determined, the process proceeds directly to step 69.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 65 that the incoming call with the desired ARS service company is made through the telephone lines L1 and L2, then control proceeds to step 67 where the ARS is processed by voice processing of the call signal processing unit 46. The service voice is amplified by the voice output unit 50 through the voice switch unit 48 so that the voice is output through the speaker 52.

At this time, when the 10-key 54E of the function setting unit 54 is keyed to input the ARS service code, the control unit 58 dials the ARS service code according to the key operation result. Enter in to enable the ARS service to proceed.

In that state, the process proceeds to step 68, and the controller 58 determines whether the ARS mode key 54 of the function setting unit 54 is keyed again to release the ARS service mode.

If it is determined in step 68 that the ARS mode key 54A of the function setting unit 54 is being keyed again, control proceeds to step 69 where the hook switch 42 is hooked on and the call is connected. In addition, the voice switch unit 48 is switched to control the voice signal from the voice signal processor 38 so that the voice signal from the voice signal processor 38 can be normally output through the speaker 52.

According to the present invention made as described above, the ARS number assigned to a plurality of ARS service companies is extracted through transmission data received from a television broadcast signal on a television, and an incoming call is made through the extracted ARS number to make an ARS service voice. As the voice output is enabled through its own speaker, the ARS service can be easily provided through the television without using a separate phone from the television.
