BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a communication device with a mail transmission function such as a telephone having both a transmission / reception function of electronic mail (hereinafter simply referred to as mail) and a call function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a telephone having an answering machine function, a transfer telephone function, or the like must perform a predetermined process when an incoming call comes in when a call is received when the call cannot be answered or when the user is out of the office. Is possible.

The answering machine answering the call from the caller, "I am absent now. Please leave a message."
It is a function to record a message from the sender by sending a predetermined response message such as. This allows a message from the caller to be recorded even if the recipient does not answer the call, allowing the recipient to later hear the message from the caller.

The transfer telephone function is a function for transferring an incoming call to a predetermined telephone number. As a result, for example, the recipient at the destination can receive a call from the caller with a mobile phone having a predetermined telephone number.

On the other hand, in order to easily send and receive e-mail at home, telephones with an e-mail transmission / reception function such as a telephone having a e-mail transmission / reception function in addition to a call function have been put into practical use.

[0006]

However, in the conventional answering machine function, the telephone is directly operated, or the telephone that receives an incoming call from another telephone is remotely operated. If the receiver does not perform any operation, it is impossible to reproduce the fact that there is an incoming call and the recorded message. Therefore, in order for the recipient to know whether there is an incoming call or a recorded message,
There is a problem that the receiver itself needs to actively perform the operation. Also, it may take a very long time for the recipient to know that there is an incoming call from the sender and hear the message left by the sender. Therefore, there is a problem that it is very inconvenient to answer by the answering machine function when making a call.

In addition, the caller sometimes hangs up the call before the receiving side telephone receiving the incoming call shifts to the answering machine function. In this case, although the incoming call history remains on the receiving side telephone, it is not possible to confirm that there is an incoming call from the outside because the message is not recorded by the answering machine function. Further, in the conventional call forwarding function, the call is forwarded to the telephone of the predetermined telephone number to which the call is forwarded, but the recipient having the telephone of the forwarding destination may not be able to receive the call. That is, for example,
If the transfer-destination phone is turned off, the transfer-destination phone is out of service area (where radio waves do not reach), or if the transfer-destination phone is set to reject the transfer call, There is a problem that the call from the caller cannot be normally transferred to the transfer destination phone.

[0008] Also, if the recipient is attending a meeting,
If you can not receive a call on the transfer destination phone,
There is a problem that the call may not be transferred to the recipient unless the call is particularly urgent and important, such as when the recipient is on a train.

Further, as described above, an urgent and important call that you want to receive directly by transfer, or a phone that is not as important as you receive by transfer, but wants to know immediately that there is an incoming call and the recorded message. , The priority considered by the recipient may be different depending on each incoming or outgoing caller, such as a telephone, which is not particularly urgent, and which only needs to listen to a message recorded later. However, in the conventional answering machine function and transfer telephone function, such a priority is not reflected, and there is a problem that the same incoming call processing is performed for all incoming calls or all callers.

In view of the above problems, according to the present invention, a communication device with a mail transmission function capable of knowing whether or not there is an incoming call at a telephone or the presence or absence of a recorded message even if the receiver does not actively perform the operation.
