Abstract

L'invention porte sur une technique de téléphonie permettant d'insérer naturellement un son de reproduction de données audio d'échantillonnage numérique ou plusieurs sons de reproduction de données MIDI au début d'une communication. Dans un téléphone conventionnel, un son de reproduction de données sonores devant être inséré dans la communication est uniquement choisi en fonction de la condition de l'appel, la personne appelée ne pouvant pas rapidement choisir et reproduire lui-même/elle-même les données sonores à reproduire en fonction de la condition à un moment précis. Afin de résoudre ce problème, l'invention concerne une pluralité de blocs en fonctionnement décrochage et des données sonores portent sur ces blocs en fonctionnement décrochage lorsqu'elles sont stockées dans le moyen de stockage. Lorsqu'un des blocs en fonctionnement décrochage fonctionne et qu'un trajet de communication est connecté, le moyen de reproduction de données sonores lit et reproduit les données sonores correspondant au fonctionnement du bloc en fonctionnement décrochage et le son de reproduction de données sonores est transmis à la personne qui appelle. Par conséquent, il est possible d'ajouter à espace fermé de communication vocale une nouvelle valeur telle qu'une représentation riche d'une image d'entreprise pleine d'activités, la production de l'originalité d'une personne appelée, la production d'espace, et autre similaire.
