There is a record by the answering machine function and a record by the call record function. First, processing from the start of recording to the end of recording by the answering machine function will be described.

When a call signal from the ISDN line is input to the central processing unit 2 through the input / output processing unit 1, the central processing unit 2 starts taking in telephone number data input through the ISDN line. . The central processing unit 2 accesses the memory unit 4 after finishing taking the telephone number data into the central processing unit 2.

The memory unit 4 stores the telephone number data of the communication partner exchanged so far and the voice data input simultaneously with the telephone number data in the first mini disk recording / reproducing device 3.
00 and the identification data indicating the output to the second mini-disc recording / reproducing apparatus 400 are stored in association with each other so as to be easily searched. The central processing unit 2 reads out the telephone number data stored in the memory unit 4,
The data is compared with the telephone number data input through the input / output processing unit 1.

If the same telephone number data as the telephone number data output from the input / output processing unit 1 is not stored in the memory unit 4, the central processing unit 2 stores the first telephone number data stored in the memory unit 4 in advance. The recordable time data in the management data of the mini-disc mounted on the mini-disc recording / reproducing device 300 and the second mini-disc recording / reproducing device 400 is read.

The central processing unit 2 determines that the telephone number data and the audio data are to be output to the output destination where the mini disc having the longest available recording time is mounted. Then, the central processing unit 2 controls the memory unit 4 to store the telephone number data and the identification data of the output destination.

When the same telephone number data as the telephone number data output from the input / output processing unit 1 is stored in the memory unit 4, the central processing unit 2 stores the telephone number data in association with the coincident telephone number data. The identification data is read to determine the output destination, and it is determined that the telephone number data and the audio data are to be output to the output destination where the mini disc is mounted.

In the present embodiment, either the first mini-disc recording / reproducing device 300 or the second mini-disc recording / reproducing device 400 is selected as the output destination. The description will be made assuming that the playback device 300 is selected as the output destination. The present invention is not limited to two destinations, but can be practiced even when there are three or more destinations.

Subsequently, the central processing unit 2 counts the number of call signals from the other party input through the input processing unit 1, and when the number reaches a predetermined number, determines that the answering machine function is to be operated. .

The central processing unit 2 sends a reproduction start control signal for controlling reproduction of voice data explaining that the answering machine function is operating to a CPU unit (not shown) of the first mini disk recording / reproducing apparatus 300. Output.

The CPU unit (not shown) of the first mini-disc recording / reproducing apparatus 300 causes the first mini-disc recording / reproducing apparatus 300 to start reproducing audio data for explaining that the answering machine function is operating from the mini-disc. Control the recording / playback unit that does not.

Voice data explaining that the answering machine function is operating is input from the first mini-disc recording / reproducing apparatus 300 to the central processing unit 2, and the central processing unit 2 directly inputs and outputs the input / output processing unit 1. Output to

When the reproduction of the audio data is completed, the CPU (not shown) of the first mini disc recording / reproducing apparatus 300 outputs a reproduction end signal indicating that the reproduction of the audio data has been completed to the central processing unit 2.

The central processing unit 2 outputs a recording start control signal to a CPU unit (not shown) of the first mini disc recording / reproducing apparatus 300 as an output destination, and also outputs an audio data input through the input / output processing unit 1. Start.

The recording start control signal output from the central processing unit 2 is input to a CPU unit (not shown) of the first mini disk recording / reproducing device 300, and is input to a CPU unit (not shown) of the one mini disk recording / reproducing device 300. The recording / reproducing unit (not shown) of the first mini-disc recording / reproducing apparatus 300 is controlled so as to start recording of audio data.

Simultaneously with the start of recording, the central processing unit 2 processes the audio data input through the input / output processing unit 1
The difference value between samples of audio data that are temporally adjacent to each other is taken, and it is detected whether or not the number of times that the difference value becomes 0 continues over a predetermined number of times. Such a process is performed to determine whether or not the call is a silent call.

When an on-hook signal is input from the other party, recording stop processing and silent telephone determination processing are performed. In order to perform the recording stop processing, the central processing unit 2 outputs a recording stop control signal to a CPU unit (not shown) of the first mini disc recording / reproducing device 300.

The CPU (not shown) of the first mini-disc recording / reproducing apparatus 300 controls the recording / reproducing section (not shown) of the first mini-disc recording / reproducing apparatus 300 to stop recording of input audio data.

Subsequently, in order to perform the silent telephone determination process, the central processing unit 2 determines that the number of times that the difference value between adjacent samples of the input voice data becomes 0 continues for a predetermined number of times or more. It is determined whether an on-hook signal for hanging up the telephone is detected. If the signal is applicable, it is determined that the voice data is obtained when a call is made but the call is ended silently.

The central processing unit 2 stores the track number data of the track of the voice data of the silent telephone in the memory unit 4 so that it can determine that the track is the voice data of the silent telephone. . The above is the processing from the start of recording to the end of recording by the answering machine function, which is performed when the number of call signals from the other party reaches a predetermined number.

Next, the processing from the start of recording to the end of recording by the call recording function will be described. When an off-hook signal from the telephone set 200 and a call signal from the ISDN line are input to the central processing unit 2 via the input / output processing unit 1, the central processing unit 2 starts taking in telephone number data.

At this time, when the off-hook signal is input from the telephone 200, the telephone number data of the call destination output from the telephone 200 is input, and when the call signal is input from the ISDN line, the telephone number data is input through the ISDN line. The central processing unit 2 takes in the telephone number data.

The central processing unit 2 accesses the memory unit 4 after completing the input of the telephone number data. The memory unit 4 stores the telephone number data of the call exchanged so far and the voice data input simultaneously with the telephone number data in the first mini-disc recording / reproducing device 300 or the second mini-disc recording / reproducing device 400. The identification data indicating the output destination and the identification data are stored in association with each other for easy retrieval. The central processing unit 2 reads out the telephone number data stored in the memory unit 4 and compares it with the telephone number data input through the input / output processing unit 1.

If the same telephone number data as the telephone number data input through the input / output processing unit 1 is not stored in the memory unit 4, the central processing unit 2 sets the first telephone number data stored in the memory unit 4 in advance. Mini disc recording / reproducing device 30
The recordable time data in the management data of the mini-disc 0 and the second mini-disc recording / reproducing device 400 is read out from the memory unit 4.

The central processing unit 2 decides to output the telephone number data and the voice data to the output destination where the mini-disc having the longest available recording time is mounted. Then, the central processing unit 2 controls the memory unit 4 to store the telephone number data and the identification data of the output destination.

When the same telephone number data as the telephone number data output from the input / output processing unit 1 is stored in the memory unit 4, the central processing unit 2 stores the telephone number data in association with the coincident telephone number data. The identification data is read out, and it is determined that the telephone number data and the voice data are output to the output destination to which the mini disc is mounted. Also in this case, description will be made on the assumption that the first mini-disc recording / reproducing apparatus 300 is selected.

Subsequently, the central processing unit 2 counts the number of call signals, and keeps the telephone 20 until the predetermined number is reached.
If 0 or an off-hook signal is output from the other party's telephone and the calling signal cannot be detected, it is determined to activate the call recording function.

The central processing unit 2 outputs a recording start control signal to a CPU (not shown) of the first mini disc recording / reproducing apparatus 300 selected as an output destination. Further, the central processing unit 2 starts outputting the audio data to the first mini disc recording / reproducing device 300 at the same time as the recording starts.

The recording start control signal output by the central processing unit 2 is input to a CPU unit (not shown) of the first mini disk recording / reproducing device 300, and the CPU unit (not shown) of the first mini disk recording / reproducing device 300 A recording / reproducing unit (not shown) is controlled so as to start recording of audio data to be recorded.

Simultaneously with the start of recording, the central processing unit 2 determines a difference value between samples of temporally adjacent audio data with respect to audio data input through the input / output processing unit 1 in order to determine whether or not the call is a silent call. To detect whether the number of times the difference value becomes 0 continues over a predetermined number of times.

When the on-hook signal of the other party and the on-hook signal from the telephone 200 are input to the central processing unit 2, the central processing unit 2 performs a recording stop process and a silent telephone determination process. In order to perform the recording stop processing, the central processing unit 2 includes the first mini disc recording / reproducing device 30
A recording stop control signal is output to a CPU unit 0 (not shown). The CPU unit (not shown) of the first mini disc recording / reproducing apparatus 300 controls the recording / reproducing unit (not shown) so as to stop recording the input audio data.

Subsequently, in order to perform the silent telephone determination process, the central processing unit 2 waits for the number of times that the difference value between adjacent samples of the input audio data becomes 0 to continue for a predetermined number of times or more. It is determined whether an on-hook signal for hanging up the telephone is detected. If the signal is applicable, it is determined that the voice data is obtained when the call was made but the call was terminated without saying anything.

The central processing unit 2 causes the memory unit 4 to store the track number data of the track of the voice data of the silent telephone so that it can determine that the track is the voice data of the silent telephone. . The above is the processing from the start of recording to the end of recording by the call recording function.

Next, a description will be given of management data creation processing that is performed in common after the recording by the answering machine function and the recording by the call recording function of the call record control device 100 of this embodiment. The central processing unit 2 outputs the first output destination from the memory unit 4.
The management data of the mini disc of the mini disc recording / reproducing apparatus 300 is read.

First, the central processing unit 2 reads out the track number data of the voice data of the silent phone stored in the memory unit 4 and determines whether the latest track voice data is the voice data of the silent phone. Judge about.

In the case where the voice data of the latest track is voice data of a silent phone, the management data for the voice data related to the voiceless phone is a track of voice data in the minimum recordable time unit or a track without voice data. create.

The reason for performing such a process is to discard the voice data relating to the silent call because it is unnecessary, and to store and save only the recording time data so that it can be determined that there is a silent call. Then, management data relating to the latest recording time data of the mini-disc and the telephone number data as the track name is created.

If the voice data of the latest track is voice data that is not a silent call, management data is created in which the voice data that is not a voice call is one track. Then, management data relating to the latest recording time data of the mini-disc and the telephone number data as the track name is created.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the telephone number data of the audio data of the latest track has already been registered in the memory unit 4. If the telephone number data is not already registered in the memory unit 4, the management data is recorded as it is on the mini disk.

The central processing unit 2 sends the management data to a CPU unit (not shown) of the first mini disc recording / reproducing apparatus 300 and a recording start control signal for controlling the recording / reproducing unit to record the management data on the mini disc. Is output to end the management data creation. The above is the management data when the telephone number data is not registered.

If the telephone number data has already been registered in the memory unit 4, the central processing unit 2 creates management data that makes it easy to search when reproducing audio data. There are two types of management data created by the central processing unit 2, and one of the management data is created. The first management data created by the central processing unit 2 will be described.

The central processing unit 2 has the telephone number data registered in the memory unit 4 and uses the track recorded in advance on the mini-disc as the surviving track, and the telephone number data is added to the audio data of the surviving track. Management data is created by combining the audio data of the latest matching track into audio data of one track.

Further, the central processing unit 2 maintains the telephone number data stored as the track name of the surviving track as it is, and creates management data for rewriting the recording time data of the surviving track to the latest recording time data.

Then, the central processing unit 2 sends management data relating to the newly created track number / telephone number data / recording time data and the management data to a CPU unit (not shown) of the first mini disc recording / reproducing apparatus 300. And a recording start control signal for controlling the recording / reproducing unit so as to record the data on the disk.

As described above, management data for managing audio data, which is the same telephone number data, in one track unit is created. For example, even when the number of telephone number data is large, one About phone number data 1
Since the two tracks correspond to each other, the search can be easily performed.

The voice data that is the same telephone number data is management data that is combined as one voice data in the order of recording time. Since the audio data is reproduced as one audio data at the time of reproduction, the next audio data is continuously reproduced after the first recorded audio data, and it is possible to determine the lapse of time. The above is the first management data created by the central processing unit 2.

As the second management data created by the central processing unit 2, management data with a track number assigned such that a track having the same telephone number data is continuous over a plurality of tracks is created.

At this time, the recording time data of each track is as follows: track 1 is {month □ day ☆ hour} minute, track 2 is {month □ day □ hour} minute, and track 3 is {month ◎ day ☆ hour}. It is data on the month, date and time, such as minutes. This track number is a continuous number, and is a number in which the recording time is increased in a descending order.

If the audio data of the first telephone number data is from track 1 to track 3 and the audio data of the second telephone number data is from track 4 to track 6, the new first telephone number data When the audio data of the first telephone number data is recorded, the audio data of the first telephone number data is from track 1 to track 4 and the audio data of the second telephone number data is from track 5 to track 7. It becomes management data. The latest audio data of the first telephone number data corresponds to the track 4.

As described above, the central processing unit 2 creates management data for one-time audio data in one track unit, and changes and manages the track number so that the audio data is reproduced in chronological order.

The audio data of the same telephone number data is managed as track numbers that are consecutive in the order of recording time, and can be easily searched. In addition, when voice data is to be recorded and stored in one call unit, management becomes easy.

The central processing unit 2 causes the CPU unit (not shown) of the first mini disc recording / reproducing apparatus 300 to record management data relating to track number / telephone number data / recording time data and record the management data on the mini disc. And a recording start control signal for controlling the recording / reproducing unit.

The first mini disc recording / reproducing device 300
The management data is recorded on a mini disk (not shown). The above is the second management data created by the central processing unit 2.

The central processing unit 2 includes first management data,
Alternatively, second management data is created, and management data for compiling tracks is created so as to facilitate searching. The creation of the management data when the telephone number data is registered has been described above.

After the answering machine function or the call recording function is completed, the central processing unit 2 controls the display unit 5 so as to perform a display as shown in FIG. The display unit 5 outputs the received telephone number, the number of receptions, the minidisk number of the output destination, and the reception (recording start) time.

As described above, according to the present invention, audio data having the same telephone number data is recorded so as to be continuous on the same information medium without being scattered. Can be managed easily.

[0074]

As described above, according to the call record control apparatus of the present invention, the voice data of the same telephone number data is collected on an information medium in order to facilitate the retrieval of the voice data of the same telephone number data.
