FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the registration operation of the prank call. The example of FIG. 6 is an operation example of the control unit 3 of the telephone device 10 of FIG. Here, the operation of the cordless telephone device of FIG. 2 and the operation of the button telephone device of FIG. 3 are the same as those of the telephone device 10, but
Here, the operation of the control unit 3 of the telephone device 10 in FIG. 1 will be described first.

When the user judges that the call is a mischievous call when he / she sees the caller's telephone number and the caller's name received at the time of the incoming call and is displayed on the display unit 5, the call is a prank call. In step S21 of 6, the mischievous telephone is registered by operating the function key 8 of the telephone device 10. Then, the control unit 3 determines in step S22 whether or not the incoming call is received. If the incoming call is in progress, the loop closing circuit 14 is driven to close the DC loops of the lines L1 and L2, and the incoming call is received in step S23. Respond to.

Here, the controller 3 receives the caller's telephone number and the caller's name stored in the memory 4 as shown in FIG.
The table 4A of the memory 4 shown in (b) is searched, and it is determined in step S24 whether or not the caller telephone number and the caller name are registered in the table 4A. If the received caller telephone number and caller name are not registered in the table 4A, the caller telephone number and caller name are registered in step S25, and the caller phone number in the registered table 4A is registered. After the number of incoming calls is set to "1" in step S26 in association with the number and the caller name, the process proceeds to step S28.

On the other hand, if the received caller telephone number and caller name are registered in the table 4A, it is judged that this caller has made a prank call before, and in step S27, only the number of times the call is received. +1 and then step S2
The process shifts to the process of 8. In step S28, the date / time information of the clock IC 9A at this time is stored in the table 4A in association with the caller telephone number and the caller name as the incoming call date / time. After that, the control unit 3 drives the voice synthesizing circuit 9C in step S29, and a voice message saying "Mr. XX (sender's name) will sue" and "Mr. XX (sender's name), prank call. Please send a voice message to the effect to the lines L1 and L2, and then step S30
Then, the lines L1 and L2 are opened.

On the other hand, the user notices that it is a prank call during the call in response to the incoming call, and step S31 in FIG.
When the function key 8 of the telephone device 10 is operated with, the control unit 3 detects this and determines that the operation of this function key 8 is a mischievous telephone registration operation in step S32. In this case, the control unit 3 executes the processing from step S24 onward to register the caller telephone number and the caller name in the table 4A and check the number of incoming calls, as in the case of the mischievous telephone registration operation at the time of incoming call. The setting, updating, and storage of the arrival date and time in the table 4A are performed, and the above-mentioned voice message is transmitted to the lines L1 and L2. In this way, it is possible to register a prank call and send a voice message to the caller side at both the time of a call and the time of an incoming call. If you have registered a prank call, only register the prank call,
The voice message may not be transmitted.

The operation shown in the flow chart of FIG.
To explain using the example of recording in the table 4A in (b), it is 03-XX as the telephone number of the caller who made the prank call.
XX-YYYY, and XX as the name of the caller are respectively registered in the table 4A, and 200 as the date and time of the incoming call.
20:30 on July 21, 1st is stored in correspondence with the caller's name XX and the number of incoming calls (number of prank calls) is set to one. Further, 03-YYYY-XXXX is registered as the telephone number of the caller who made the mischievous call, and ◯ △ is registered in Table 4A as the name of the caller, and the date and time of the incoming call is 19:25 on July 25, 2001. It is stored in correspondence with the caller name ◯ Δ and is set to 1 as the number of incoming calls.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the repulsion operation for a prank call. The example of FIG. 7 is an operation example of the control unit 3 of the telephone device 10 of FIG. The operation of the cordless telephone device shown in FIG. 2 and the operation of the button telephone device shown in FIG. 3 are similar to those of the telephone device 10.
Here, the operation of the control unit 3 of the telephone device 10 in FIG. 1 will be described first.

When the caller telephone number and the caller's name are notified from the destination exchange 200 at the time of an incoming call, the control section 3 receives the notified caller's telephone number and the caller's name in step S41 and In step S42, it is determined whether or not the caller telephone number and the caller name are registered in the table 4A shown in FIG. Here, if the received caller telephone number and caller name are not registered in the table 4A, the normal call reception processing is performed in step S50, while the received caller telephone number and caller name are registered in the table 4A. For example, in step S43, the date and time information of the clock IC 9A at this time is stored as the arrival date and time corresponding to the caller telephone number and the caller name in the table 4A. Then, in step S44, the number of incoming calls is incremented by 1 corresponding to the caller telephone number and the caller name in the table 4A.

Here, the control section 3 determines in step S45 whether or not the number of incoming calls in the table 4A has reached a predetermined number. If the number of incoming calls is less than the predetermined number of times, the incoming call refusal process is performed in step S49 in which the incoming call is not answered and no ring tone is produced. On the other hand, when the number of incoming calls is equal to or greater than the predetermined number and the determination in step S45 is “Y”, the control unit 3 drives the loop closing circuit 14 in step S46 to close the DC loops of the lines L1 and L2. Automatically answers the incoming call. Then, in step S47, the voice synthesizing circuit 9C is driven, and the contents stored in the table 4A are sent to the lines L1 and L2 as a message. After sending this message, the lines L1 and L2 are disconnected in step S48.

This message is, for example, a voice message having the content shown in FIG. 1B, that is, "Your telephone number is 03-XXX-YYYY and your name is XX. You are 2001. July 21, 20:03
0 minutes, 21:05 July 22, 2001, and 200
I made mischievous calls a total of 3 times at 23:01 on July 22, 1st. I will sue you if you make a prank call any more. Is transmitted to the other party as a voice message. As a result, the prank call on the other side can be effectively repelled.

As described above, the caller telephone number and the caller name of the prank call are registered in the table 4A, the incoming call history of the prank call is accumulated, and when the number of incoming prank calls reaches a predetermined number, the prank call is received. Since the contents of the table 4A are automatically transmitted to the other party as a voice message, the prank call can be effectively stopped. Further, since the caller telephone number and the caller name of the prank call are registered in the table 4A and the incoming call history is stored, the control unit 3 drives the printer 9B as necessary to make a prank call. Caller's telephone number 03-XXXX-YYYY, the caller's name XX, the number of incoming calls (the number of mischievous calls) three times, the date and time of the incoming call, July 21, 2001, 20:30, 2001
