Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a nuisance call prevention system, and more particularly to a nuisance call prevention system capable of dealing with nuisance calls such as harassment calls and sales calls without picking up the handset. Things.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are many undesired unwanted telephone calls, such as voiced or silent harassment calls and persistent sales calls. When a call arrives, the recipient cannot know if it is a nuisance call or a useful call until he picks up and listens to the caller.

[0003] In recent years, a service has been provided to enable the receiver to recognize the sender by digitally displaying the telephone number of the sender at the time of calling. However, a phone number that has many opportunities to contact, such as a family relationship, may be able to recognize it immediately, but other phone numbers may not be able to recognize some people immediately. Often. Especially when the ringing tone continues to be heard (in a kind of emergency situation, it is difficult to make a calm decision), it is difficult to recognize a 10-digit number immediately and recognize it. It is terrible to force the elderly and young people to do that. Even if the call is from a relative, it is not recognized as a relative if the call is made from a public telephone or the like.

[0004] Furthermore, even if it turns out that the call is a harassing telephone, the line cannot be cut off unless the receiver is lifted up and then put down, and the ringing tone continues to be sounded unless such a call is made.

[0005]

Since the conventional countermeasures against nuisance calls are as described above, it cannot be said that the objective has been sufficiently achieved. Therefore, the present invention makes it possible to judge whether or not the telephone needs to be picked up by the receiver at the time of calling the telephone without picking up the handset. It is an object of the present invention to provide a nuisance call prevention system in which the effect of the above is lost.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, there is provided a message transmitting means for transmitting a predetermined message to a caller in response to a call, and a receiver for receiving a response to the message from the caller. A nuisance call prevention system characterized by comprising a speaker that emits a sound in a state where the receiver does not exist and a line disconnecting unit that disconnects the line after a predetermined time elapses unless the receiver picks up the receiver. Settled. Preferably,
Record the response from the caller and repeat the contents from the speaker.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The nuisance call system according to the present invention comprises:
Message transmitting means 1 for transmitting a predetermined message to a caller in response to a call, speaker 2 for emitting a response of the caller with the receiver kept on, and predetermined message after calling Line disconnecting means 3 for disconnecting the line if the receiver does not pick up the telephone within the time, or if there is no response from the caller within a predetermined time after the message is transmitted from the message transmitting means 1
Consisting of The message transmitting means 1 can be configured according to the configuration of a general answering machine, and can be added to an existing answering machine.

The message sending means 1 receives the call signal and automatically sends a message such as "This phone is an S phone. Please give your name and message." I do. A response to the message, for example, "Oh, please." Is sent from the speaker 2 of the telephone while leaving the receiver unattended. By listening to the voice, it is easy for the recipient to determine whether or not it is a nuisance call, in other words, whether or not the call should be answered.

[0009] If the recipient determines that it is a nuisance call,
If the receiver is left without picking up the receiver, the line disconnecting means 3 operates to forcibly disconnect the line after a lapse of a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds after calling). In this way, the recipient can be notified of a nuisance call without picking up the receiver, so that the recipient is free from discomfort and fear of talking with the other party who does not want to talk become.

[0010] Incidentally, a situation may occur in which the receiver cannot hear the caller's response because he is away from the telephone. In order to cope with such a case, a recording / reproducing means 4 for recording the contents of the caller's response and for repetitively transmitting the recorded contents from the speaker 2 until the line disconnecting means 3 operates is provided. Good.

[0011]

The present invention is as described above. According to the system according to the present invention, the receiver can judge whether or not the call is a nuisance call without talking to the other party.
There is an effect of being free from discomfort, fear, and the like caused by responding to the nuisance call. In addition, from the side of the nuisance caller, calling a telephone equipped with this system will not have the desired effect even if the call is made. It is expected that nuisance calls will be reduced.
