And a hook switch 37 that is turned off when the device is removed from the housing of the device.

An outgoing call operation and an incoming call operation in the telephone device 1 configured as described above in a normal state will be schematically described.

First, when making a call, the CPU 11 detects via the NCU 9 that the receiver 35 has been disconnected and the hook switch 37 has been turned off (hereinafter, this state is also referred to as off-hook). The selection signal corresponding to the user's dial operation is output to the NCU 9). Then, the selection signal is sent from the NCU 9 to the exchange 5 via the telephone line 3, and the called party is called. On the other hand, at the time of an incoming call, the CPU 11 detects through the NCU 9 that a call signal has arrived (that is, there has been an incoming call), and outputs a predetermined ringing sound to the amplifier 31 and the speaker 29 in conjunction with the call signal. Output via When the CPU 11 detects an off-hook during the detection of the call signal, the CPU 11 closes the telephone line 3 to the NCU 9 to enable a telephone call with the receiver 35.

Next, the processing executed by the CPU 11 when the operation mode of the telephone apparatus 1 is set to the answering machine mode by the mode switching key in the telephone apparatus 1 will be described with reference to flowcharts shown in FIGS. It will be described based on the following.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the overall processing in the answering machine mode. When the execution of this process is started, first, in step (hereinafter simply referred to as S) 110, a process as a call signal detecting means for judging whether or not a call signal is received (whether there is an incoming call). Is executed (YES in S110), in S120, it is determined whether or not the calling telephone number has been sent together with the calling signal. If it is determined that the calling telephone number has been sent (YE in S120)
S) Then, in S130, the calling telephone number is received and temporarily stored in the RAM 15, and the calling telephone number is displayed on the display unit 27.

If the process of S130 is completed, or if it is determined in S120 that the calling telephone number has not been sent (NO in S120), the flow shifts to S140, where the currently received call signal A ringing tone is output from the speaker 29 in conjunction therewith, and in S150, it is determined whether the ringing tone has been sounded a predetermined number of times (for example, five times). If it is determined that the ringing tone has not been sounded a predetermined number of times (NO in S150), in subsequent S160, it is determined whether or not the user has taken off the receiver 35 and gone off-hook. Is determined (S160
NO), and returns to S140 to repeat the processing of S140 to S160.

If it is determined in S160 that the user has gone off-hook (YES in S160), the process proceeds to S170.
The telephone line 3 is closed by the NCU 9. That is, if the user disconnects the receiver 35 before the ringing tone is sounded a predetermined number of times, the telephone line 3 is closed so that the telephone can be communicated with the receiver 35.

Then, in S180, it is determined whether or not the user lowers the receiver 35 and the hook switch 37 is turned on (hereinafter, this state is also referred to as on-hook).
It waits until it is determined that an on-hook has been made. If it is determined that the user is on-hook (YES in S180), it is determined that the user's call has been terminated, and the telephone line 3 is released in the next S190, and thereafter, the process returns to S110 to be in a state of waiting for an incoming call.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S150 that the ringing tone has sounded a predetermined number of times, that is, if the user does not take off the handset 35 before the ringing tone sounds a predetermined number of times (YES in S150), In S200, after executing response processing as automatic response control means for automatically responding to the calling side, the process returns to S110.

Here, this response processing (S200) corresponds to FIG.
This is performed as shown in FIG. That is, when the execution of the response process is started, first, the telephone line 3 is closed in S310, and then the OG stored in the DRAM 21 is stored in S320.

In S330, it is determined whether or not the transmission of the OGM has been completed. If it is determined that the transmission of the OGM has not been completed (NO in S330), the process proceeds to S3.
At 40, it is determined whether or not an off-hook operation has been performed. If it is determined that an off-hook operation has not been performed (NO at S340), the process returns to S330, and the processes of S330 and S340 are repeated. If it is determined in S340 that the user has been off-hook (YES in S340), the process proceeds to S350, in which the transmission of the OGM is stopped and the telephone call by the receiver 35 is enabled. . Then, if it is determined in S360 that the on-hook has been performed (YES in S360), the flow proceeds to S370 to release the telephone line 3, and thereafter, the processing is terminated. That is, if the user removes the receiver 35 during the transmission of the OGM, the receiver 35 can make a call.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S330 that the transmission of the OGM has been completed (YES in S330), the flow shifts to S380. Then, in S380, the IC from the calling side
After executing the recording process for recording M, the response process ends.

Here, the recording process (S380) is performed in FIG.
This is performed as shown in FIG. That is, when the execution of the recording process is started, first, in S410, it is determined whether or not the calling telephone number has been received in S130 described above and stored in the RAM 15. If it is determined that the calling telephone number has been received (YES in S410).
S) Then, in S420, the calling telephone number is set to the attribute information (hereinafter, referred to as “1”) corresponding to the ICM to be recorded from now on.
It executes processing as telephone number storage means, which is stored in the DRAM 21 as ICM attribute information).

If the process at S420 is completed or if it is determined at S410 that the calling telephone number has not been received (NO at S410), the process proceeds to S430.
The recording of the ICM coming from the telephone line 3 is started. still,
In this process, the analog audio signal from the calling side is transmitted to the NCU 9
Then, the data is recorded as a digital audio signal via the audio LSI 17 and data (recording data) corresponding to the audio signal is stored in the DRAM 21.

Then, in the following S440, the IC being recorded is
Whether or not the state where no sound is included in M has continued for a predetermined time or longer, in other words, the signal being recorded is longer than a predetermined time,
It is determined whether the signal is a non-voice signal. The non-speech signal determined here is a signal such as a non-speech signal containing no sound, a single-tone continuous signal, or a single-tone repetition signal (visit tone). Is affirmatively determined when has arrived continuously for a predetermined time or more.

If it is determined in S440 that the non-speech signal has not been continued for a predetermined time or more (S440).
Then, the process proceeds to S450, and it is determined whether or not a preset recording time has elapsed. If it is determined that the recording time has not elapsed (NO in S450), the process proceeds to S4.
At 60, it is determined whether or not an off-hook has been performed. If it is determined that the user is not off-hook (NO in S460), the process returns to S440 and repeats the processes of S440 to S460. If it is determined in S460 that the user has gone off-hook (YES in S460), the process proceeds to S470.
In step S480, the recording of the ICM is stopped, and the telephone call by the receiver 35 is enabled. In step S480, the process waits until it is determined that the user is on-hook. That is, if the user removes the receiver 35 during the recording of the ICM, the recording is stopped and the telephone call by the receiver 35 is enabled.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S440 that the non-speech signal has continued for a predetermined time or more (YES in S440).
S), the process proceeds to S490, and the recorded data of the non-audio signal portion is deleted from the DRAM 21. Here, if a predetermined time or more has elapsed since the beginning of the non-voice signal of the ICM,
The recorded data of the ICM will not remain.
The fact that the recording of M has been performed is stored in the DRAM 21.

Then, when the process of S490 is executed, when it is determined in S450 that the recording time has elapsed (S450).
If YES at 450, or if it is determined in S480 that the user has gone off-hook (YES at S480), the process proceeds to S500 and the telephone line 3 is released. And the following S5
At 10, the recorded data of the ICM recorded this time is DRAM
It is determined whether or not the recording data is in the storage area 21. If it is determined that there is recorded data (YES in S510), the recording process is terminated. Also, at S510, the I
If it is determined that there is no CM recording data (S510)
Then, the process proceeds to S520, in which the soundless flag in the ICM attribute information is set, and the process ends. The no-sound flag is a flag indicating that although the corresponding ICM was once recorded, it was a non-speech signal for a predetermined time or more from the beginning, so that all of the recorded data has been erased from the DRAM 21.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S110 in FIG. 2 that there is no incoming call signal and there is no incoming call (S110).
(NO at 110), the process proceeds to S210, and it is determined whether or not the reproduction key of the operation unit 25 has been turned on. If it is determined that the reproduction key is not turned on (NO in S210), it is determined in subsequent S220 whether or not the silent mode key provided on the operation unit 25 has been pressed. If it is determined that the key has not been pressed (S220
NO), and returns to S110.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S220 that the silent mode key has been pressed (YES in S220).
S), the process proceeds to S230, where the ICM attribute information (no-voice flag and caller telephone number) in the DRAM 21 is read.
At S240, the calling telephone number corresponding to the ICM for which the no-voice flag was set in the above-described recording process, that is, D
The calling telephone number corresponding to the ICM for which no recorded data to be reproduced is left in the RAM 21 is selected, and the calling telephone number is displayed on the display unit 27. The calling telephone number is sequentially displayed each time the silent mode key is pressed. Further, if the silent mode key is pressed once, the calling telephone number corresponding to the ICM in which no recorded data is left may be sequentially and cyclically displayed.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S210 that the reproduction key has been turned on (YES in S210), the process proceeds to S2.
At 50, the ICM recorded in the above-described recording process is sequentially reproduced, and a reproduction process of displaying the calling side telephone numbers respectively corresponding to the reproduced ICMs on the display unit 27 is executed.
Then, the process returns to S110.

Here, this reproduction processing (S250) is carried out in FIG.
This is performed as shown in FIG. That is, when the execution of the reproduction process is started, first, in S610, it is determined whether or not there is an ICM recorded by the recording process. Note that, in this determination, the ICM with the no-sound flag set is also the recorded ICM.
Treated as CM. If it is determined in S610 that there is no recorded ICM (N in S610)
O) Then, in S620, a message indicating that there is no ICM is displayed on the display unit 27, and then the reproduction processing ends.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S610 that there is a recorded ICM (YES in S610), the process proceeds to S63.
Then, it is determined whether or not the calling telephone number corresponding to the ICM to be reproduced this time is stored in the DRAM 21, and if it is determined that the calling telephone number is stored (S630: YES), in S640, a process as a display control means for displaying the calling telephone number on the display unit 27 is executed.

Then, when the processing of S640 is terminated or when it is determined in S630 that the calling telephone number is not stored (NO in S630), the flow shifts to S650, where the ICM to be reproduced this time is sent to the ICM to be reproduced this time. By checking the corresponding no-sound flag, the recording data of the ICM is
It is determined whether it is stored in the AM 21. And
If it is determined that there is ICM recording data (S65
0) (YES at step S660), and at step S660, a process as a reproducing means for starting reproduction of the recorded data is executed.
At 70, the sound processing shown in FIG. 6 is executed.

Here, as shown in FIG.
670) is started, first in S710,
It is determined whether or not the reproduction of the recorded data (ICM) has been completed. If it is determined that the reproduction of the ICM has been completed (S7).
(YES in 10), the process ends as it is,
If it is determined that the reproduction of M has not been completed (S71).
In step S720, it is determined whether the redial key of the operation unit 25 has been turned on. If it is determined that the redial key has been turned on (YES in S720), then in S730, it is determined whether or not the calling telephone number corresponding to the ICM currently being reproduced is stored in DRAM 21. If it is determined that the calling telephone number is stored (YES in S730), the next S74 is performed.
At 0, the reproduction of the ICM is stopped.

Then, in S750, the telephone line 3 is closed, and in S760, a process as an automatic dial means for dialing the calling telephone number corresponding to the ICM being reproduced is executed. Further, in subsequent S770, the process waits until the user goes off-hook. That is, S750 to S77
By the processing of 0, a so-called on-hook monitor state is established in which a call is made while the receiver 35 is down.

Next, if it is determined in S770 that the user has gone off-hook (YES in S770), in S780, the receiver 35 enables the telephone call and stands by until the telephone call ends and the user goes on-hook. When an on-hook is detected in S780 (YE in S780).
S) Then, after releasing the telephone line 3 in S790, the process is terminated.

If it is determined in S730 that there is no calling telephone number corresponding to the ICM being reproduced (S7).
(NO in 30), the process proceeds to S800, an error message (in this case, a message indicating that dialing is not possible) is displayed on the display unit 27, and then the process returns to S710.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S720 that the redial key has not been turned on (N in S720)
O) The flow shifts to S810, where it is determined whether or not the telephone directory key of the operation unit 25 has been turned on. If it is determined that the telephone directory key is not turned on (N in S810)
O) Returning to step S710, if it is determined that the telephone directory key has been turned on (YES in step S810), the process proceeds to step S820, and similarly to step S730, the currently reproduced I
It is determined whether or not the calling-side telephone number corresponding to the CM is stored in the DRAM 21. If it is determined that the calling-side telephone number is stored (YES in S820), in subsequent S830, It is determined whether there is a vacancy in the registration frame of the automatic dial (abbreviated dial). Then, if it is determined that there is a vacancy in the automatic dialing (abbreviated dialing) (YES in S830), in the following S840, the calling telephone number corresponding to the ICM currently being reproduced is replaced with a telephone capable of automatic dialing. The number is registered in correspondence with the smaller one of the available abbreviated numbers, the registered telephone number and the abbreviated number are displayed on the display unit 27, and the process returns to the step S710.

If it is determined in S820 that the calling telephone number is not stored (NO in S820), or if it is determined in S830 that there is no available automatic dialing (NO in S830), the process proceeds to S800. Move to display unit 2
7, an error message (in this case, a message indicating that registration is not possible) is displayed, and then the process returns to S710.

In other words, in the sounding process, when the redial key is pressed during the reproduction of the ICM, a call is dialed to the calling side telephone number corresponding to the ICM. So that you can easily contact the caller. When the telephone directory key is pressed during reproduction of the ICM, the calling telephone number corresponding to the ICM is automatically registered as a telephone number for abbreviated dialing together with a free abbreviated number. By manipulating the given abbreviated number, a call can be easily made later.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S650 in FIG. 5 that the recording data of the ICM to be reproduced this time is not stored in the DRAM 21 (NO in S650), the flow shifts to S680, and the processing shown in FIG. Execute the process.

As shown in FIG. 7, the silent process (S680) is executed in substantially the same manner as the sound process (S670). In FIG. The number obtained by adding “200” to the step number is assigned. However, when the silent process is executed, the ICM is not played back. Therefore, in the silent process, it is first determined in S915 whether two seconds have elapsed instead of S710 in FIG. Point and S930
In the ICM (actually DRAM
If it is determined that the calling-side telephone number corresponding to (not stored in 21) is stored (YES in S930), the process directly proceeds to S950 and the telephone line 3 is closed.

Therefore, even when the silent process is executed, if the redial key is pressed (YE at S920).
S) Then, a dial call is made to the calling telephone number corresponding to the ICM to be reproduced at that time (S950, S96).
0) Also, when the telephone directory key is pressed (Y in S1010)
ES), the calling telephone number corresponding to the ICM is registered as a telephone number for automatic dialing in a form corresponding to the vacant abbreviated number (S1040).

Then, as shown in FIG. 5, when the execution of the process with sound in S670 ends or the execution of the process with no sound in S680 ends, the process proceeds to S690, where the DRAM is executed.
21 to determine whether or not there is a next ICM.
If there is (YES in S690), the flow returns to S630 and repeats the processing of S630 to S690. If there is no next ICM (NO in S690), the reproduction processing ends.

The calling telephone number stored in the DRAM 21 may not be deleted until a predetermined delete key is operated, or may be deleted after being output once.

As described above, in the telephone device 1 of this embodiment, when the telephone is set to the answering machine mode,
The calling party telephone number is stored in the DRAM 21 in correspondence with the ICM from the calling party which is sequentially stored (S42).
0), if the redial key is pressed while the playback key is pressed to play each ICM (S720: YES, S
920: YES), dialing the calling side telephone number corresponding to the ICM being reproduced (S760, S9).
60). Therefore, according to the telephone device 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to make a call to the person who made the call very easily without having to look up the telephone number of the person who called.
Also, after listening to the message of the other party, it is possible to determine whether or not it is necessary to call the person.

Further, in the telephone device 1 of the present embodiment, I
If the telephone directory key is pressed while playing CM (S
810: YES, S1010: YES), IC being reproduced
The calling side telephone number corresponding to M is registered as a telephone number that can be automatically dialed (one-touch dialing or abbreviated dialing) (S840, S1040). Therefore, according to the telephone device 1 of the present embodiment, the telephone number of the other party who made a call during the absence can be easily registered as a telephone number for automatic dialing. You can make a phone call.

Further, in the telephone device 1 of this embodiment,
The calling telephone number corresponding to the incoming message being reproduced is displayed (S640). Therefore, after confirming the calling party's telephone number of the called party, the user can press the redial key or the telephone directory key to make a return call or perform automatic dial registration. Also,
In this way, even when the other party does not leave a message, the caller's telephone number displayed can be used to determine who called during the absence.
