Description

The present invention relates to a communication terminal device, a control method thereof, and a program.

  In recent years, a so-called “caller telephone number notification service” that sends a signal indicating a telephone number of a caller (CALLER ID signal) to the receiver side has been proposed and put into practical use in some areas. This technique allows the recipient to verify the caller and to decide whether to answer this call.

  However, when determining whether or not to respond, it is necessary to check the display, and it is very troublesome for the receiver to check the display each time.

  Also, as a conventional repelling method for preventing mischievous calls, if a pre-recorded response-only message is sent or if it is determined that the call is a mischievous call when responding to an incoming call, a predetermined key operation by the user It has been executed to generate strange sounds.

There is known one that switches control of an answering machine according to a caller telephone number. For example, it is known that if the caller who recorded the message to the answering machine once receives a number of times, the response message will be different, or the requirement message will not be recorded after the second time. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
JP-A-9-326858

  However, a method of sending a pre-recorded response-only message or a method of generating a strange sound by a predetermined key operation of the user when responding to an incoming call is determined to be a prank call There is a problem that it gives an extra stimulus and may be mischievous many times.

An object of the present invention is to provide a communication terminal device, a control method thereof, and a program capable of ignoring an incoming call without causing discomfort to the other party when receiving a prank call.

The present invention relates to a response terminal recording means for registering a response message, a response message reproducing means for reproducing a response message recorded by the recording means, and a caller's caller telephone, in a communication terminal apparatus having an absence recording means. Caller telephone number acquisition means for acquiring a number, telephone number registration memory for previously registering a telephone number to be rejected, caller telephone number acquired by the caller telephone number acquisition means, and the telephone number registration memory When the registered telephone number matches, the above-mentioned response message reproduction means reproduces the response message, acts as if it is shifted to the normal recording operation, and does not record the caller message. It is a communication terminal apparatus which has a control means which makes an answering machine response.

According to the present invention, regardless of whether or not the answering machine mode is set, the incoming call from the number to be rejected is forcibly received, and it appears as if the answering machine is responding, and the call is terminated naturally. Behaves in such a way that it does not know whether the incoming call has been rejected, so that the incoming call can be ignored without causing discomfort to the other party.

  The best mode for carrying out the invention is the following embodiment.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an appearance of a communication terminal apparatus 100 that is Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  Regardless of whether the answering machine is in the answering machine mode or not, the communication terminal apparatus 100 forcibly receives an incoming call from the number that the user wants to reject, makes it appear that the answering machine is responding, and ends the call naturally. It is a device that behaves so that it does not know whether the incoming call is rejected by the other party.

  The communication terminal apparatus 100 is applied to a communication terminal apparatus having an answering machine function and a partner information detection function, and has a casing. On the upper surface of the casing, a handset 101, a display 102, an operation unit 103, an answering mode A button 104 and the like are provided.

  The display 102 displays the state of the communication terminal device 100 and displays the telephone number sent by the CALLER ID. The operation unit 103 includes a plurality of keys, and inputs a telephone number and various setting information to instruct an operation. The telephone number for which the incoming call is to be rejected is registered in the RAM 201 described later via the operation unit 103.

  The answering mode button 104 is pressed to set the communication apparatus 100 to the answering mode, and is pressed when the answering mode button is set. When the answering mode is set, a response message is sent to the incoming call from the other party, and the other party's message is recorded. When the answering mode is not set, the bell sound is continuously sent without answering.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration of communication terminal apparatus 100.

  The communication terminal device 100 includes a telephone unit 200, a volatile memory (RAM) 201, a ROM 202, a flash memory 203, a modem 204, a CPU 205, and a bus 206.

  The telephone unit 200 controls incoming and outgoing calls. A volatile memory (RAM) 201 is a memory that stores a program and also stores read image data and the like. The ROM 202 stores a control program described later.

  The flash memory 203 is a flash memory for answering machine messages. The modem 204 receives and analyzes the CALLER ID data, outputs the voice mail answering message, and is connected to the telephone unit 200.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure in the normal reception mode when there is an incoming call in the communication terminal device 100.

  First, in S301, the telephone unit 200 confirms an incoming call from the other party. Next, it is analyzed via the modem 204 whether or not the CALLER ID data is transmitted (S302). When the CALLER ID data has been sent (S303), it is determined by comparing the received data with the number in the RAM 201 (S304, S305).

  If the number is a call rejection number (S306), even in the normal reception mode, an answering machine response is made and a response message is sent from the modem 204 (S307). Then, the answering message recording start tone is transmitted, but at this time, the recording is not actually performed, and nothing is performed for a specific time, and the dummy recording is performed (the recording is performed) (S308). That is, it performs an operation that appears to have shifted to a normal recording operation, and responds with a false answering machine that does not record a caller message. After the end of this dummy recording or when a specific time has elapsed, the line is released and the process is terminated (S310).

  Further, during the dummy recording, control is performed such that the handset 101 off-hook or hook by key pressing is ignored and the telephone cannot be answered.

  If it is determined in S303 that there is no CALLER ID data, if it is determined in S304 that the call rejection number is not registered, or if it is determined in S306 that the called party is not a rejected party. If it is determined, the telephone call is performed as usual (S311), and if the handset 101 is hooked, the call state is set as usual (S312). When the call ends (S314), the incoming call number is stored in the RAM 201 as the incoming call history (S315), the line is released (S310), and the process is terminated.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a procedure for processing in the answering machine mode when there is any incoming call in the communication terminal apparatus 100.

  First, in S401, the telephone unit 200 confirms an incoming call from the other party. Next, it is analyzed via the modem 204 whether or not CALLER ID data is being sent (S402). When the CALLER ID data is sent, it is determined by comparing the received data with the data in the RAM 201 whether or not the received data is a number for rejecting the incoming call (S403, S404). If the number is to reject the incoming call (S405), the answering machine is responded and a response message is sent from the modem 204 (S406).

  Next, an answering message recording start tone is transmitted. At this time, a dummy recording is performed without performing recording for a specific period of time (actual recording is performed) (S407). That is, it performs an operation that appears to have shifted to a normal recording operation, and responds with a false answering machine that does not record a caller message. After the dummy recording ends or when a predetermined time has elapsed, the line is released and the processing is terminated (S408, S409).

  Further, during the dummy recording, control is performed so as to ignore the off-hook of the handset 101 and the hook by pressing the key and not to answer the phone.

  If it is determined in S402 that there is no CALLER ID data, if it is determined in S403 that the incoming call rejection number is not registered, or if it is determined in S405 that the incoming call partner is not a rejected caller Answers the answering machine as usual (S410) and starts message recording (S411).

  The message is stored in the flash memory 203, and when recording is finished (S412), the incoming call number is saved in the RAM 201 as an incoming call history (S413), the line is released (S409), and the process ends.

Moreover, the said Example can be grasped | ascertained as invention of a program. That is, in the above embodiment, a response message playback procedure for playing back a pre-recorded response message, a caller phone number acquisition procedure for acquiring a caller phone number of a caller, and a phone number to be rejected are called. If the telephone number registration procedure registered in advance in the number registration memory matches the caller telephone number acquired in the caller telephone number acquisition procedure and the telephone number registered in the telephone number registration memory, the response message A program that causes an answering machine to execute a control procedure for playing a false answering machine that does not record a caller message, and that reproduces a response message in a playback procedure, performs an operation that appears to have shifted to a normal recording operation It is an example.

It is a perspective view which shows the external appearance of the communication terminal device 100 which is Example 1 of this invention. 2 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration of communication terminal apparatus 100. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure in a normal reception mode when there is any incoming call in communication terminal apparatus 100. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of processing in an answering machine mode when there is any incoming call in the communication terminal device 100.
