  FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment apparatus (telephone apparatus) to which the present invention is applied.

In FIG. 1, a control unit 100 controls each circuit inside the telephone device. Further, the control unit 100 has a buffer memory (not shown) for temporarily storing the telephone number of the calling side when an incoming call is received, and a timer (not shown) for measuring a predetermined time.
The diode bridge 110 is connected to the line L, and keeps the potential of the circuit inside the apparatus constant even if the polarity of the line L is reversed. When the ringer detection unit 120 is connected to the line L and detects an incoming signal having a frequency of 16 Hz transmitted from the line L at a constant period, the ringer detection unit 120 sends a signal indicating the incoming call to the control unit 100.

  The network control unit 130 also has a function of performing a line closing operation under the control of the control unit 100 and detecting the polarity inversion of the line. The beep sound generation unit 140 transmits, for example, a 2 kHz beep sound to the line L via the network control unit 130 under the control of the control unit 100.

  The speaker 150 is connected to the control unit 100 via an amplifier 160 and a mute circuit 170, and sends a ring tone when an incoming signal from the line L is detected by the ringer detection unit 120. This message is transmitted when the message message stored in the message message storage unit 240 is reproduced.

  The mute circuit 170 prevents the voice signal, the ring tone, and the like input from the speech network unit 180 from being transmitted from the speaker under the control of the control unit 100. The speech network unit 180 switches connection of a line through which an audio signal passes.

The speaker 191 of the transmission / reception unit 190 is connected to the speech network unit 180 via the amplifier 192, and transmits the calling-side audio signal input from the line L. The microphone 193 of the transmission / reception unit 190 is connected to the speech network unit 180 via the amplifier 194, and transmits a voice signal emitted by the user to the speech network unit 180.
The hook detection unit 200 is connected to the control unit 100 and detects on-hook and off-hook of the transmission / reception unit 190.
The calling party number detection unit 210 is connected to the speech network unit 180 and the control unit 100, and detects the calling party telephone number from the line L when an incoming call is received.
The input unit 220 includes a numeric keypad, a message reproduction key for reproducing a message message stored in a message message storage unit 240 described later, and the signal input by the input unit 220 is a control unit. 100. In addition, a repulse button is provided for sending a repelling sound (for example, a beep sound) to the line during a call.

  The telephone directory memory 230 is composed of a rewritable non-volatile memory such as an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), and can store a plurality of telephone numbers and calling party names.

  The message message storage unit 240 is composed of, for example, an EEPROM, and stores an area for storing a message message on the calling side input from the line L when the telephone device starts voice recording, and a call corresponding to the message message. If the calling party number detecting unit 210 detects the calling party's telephone number when receiving an incoming call, the above message message and the calling party's telephone number are stored. Can be stored in pairs, and a plurality of such information can be stored. If the calling party number detection unit 210 does not detect a telephone number when an incoming call is received, only the business message is stored in the business message storage unit 240. Note that the date, date, etc. of the incoming call may be stored corresponding to the business message.

  The display unit 250 can display the telephone number input from the input unit 220, the telephone number and name stored in the telephone directory memory 230, and the like. Further, when a message message from the calling side stored in the message message storage unit 240 is reproduced (sent from the speaker 150), the message on the calling side is stored in the message message storage unit 240. The telephone number of the calling party stored as a pair is displayed. Further, the telephone number of the calling party is displayed when an incoming call is received.

  The rejection number storage unit 260 is made of, for example, an EEPROM or the like, and stores the telephone number of the other party who rejects the incoming call. In this embodiment, if there is an operation for sending a repelling sound at the time of an incoming call, the telephone number temporarily stored in the buffer memory of the control unit 100 can be stored in the rejected number storage unit 260 as an incoming call rejected phone number. It is.

  The response message storage unit 270 is made of, for example, an EEPROM or the like, and is sent to the calling party before storing the message (for example, “I'm just calling now, please put the message after the dial tone”) Is stored.

  Next, the operation of the first embodiment apparatus to which the present invention is applied will be described below.

  In step S1, when detecting a signal indicating that there is a calling signal from ringer detection unit 120, control unit 100 determines that there is a calling signal, and proceeds to step S2.

In step S2, the control unit 100 receives telephone number data from the calling side from the calling side number detection unit 210, and proceeds to step S3.
In step S3, the control unit 100 temporarily stores the caller's telephone number in a buffer memory (not shown) in the control unit 100. If the calling party is calling from a public telephone, or if a call is made by adding 184 to the beginning of the telephone number, the telephone number of the calling party is not received. No number is stored.

  In step S4, the control unit 100 outputs a ringing tone from the speaker 150, and proceeds to step S5.

  In step S5, when the control circuit 100 detects a signal indicating that the handset is off-hook from the hook detection unit 200, the control circuit 100 proceeds to step S6, and otherwise returns to step S4.

  In step S6, the control circuit 100 controls the speech network unit 180 and the network control unit 130 to connect the line L and the transmission / reception unit 190, and performs call processing with the calling party, and the processing proceeds to step S7. Proceed.

  In step S7, when the control circuit 100 detects a signal indicating that the repelling button has been operated from the input unit 220, the control circuit 100 proceeds to step S9, and if not, proceeds to step S8.

  In step S8, when the control circuit 100 detects a signal indicating that there is no incoming signal detection from the line from the ringer detection unit 120, the control circuit 100 ends the process, and if not, returns the process to step S4.

  In step S9, the control circuit 100 controls the beep sound generation unit 140 to send a repulse sound to the line L.

  In step S10, the control circuit 100 stores the telephone number stored in the buffer memory of the control circuit 100 in step S3 as the incoming call rejection number in the rejection number storage unit 260, and proceeds to step S11.

  In step S11, the control circuit 100 controls the network control unit 130 to disconnect the line and ends the process.

  In this way, in this embodiment apparatus, when the user performs a send-off sound operation, the strike-off sound is sent to the line and the other party's telephone number is automatically registered as an incoming call rejection number. There is no need to perform registration operation using the other party's phone number as a call rejection number.

  The incoming call rejection number is stored in the rejection number storage unit 260 by the operation of the flowchart shown in FIG. 2, but if there is an incoming call from the telephone number stored in the rejection number storage unit 260, the control unit 100 By controlling the network control unit 130, the line connection and disconnection are performed immediately after the incoming call, so that the busy tone can be immediately transmitted from the exchange to the calling side for mischief purposes.

  In addition, when there is an incoming call from the telephone number stored in the rejection number storage unit 260, the line may be connected immediately after the incoming call and a repulse sound may be automatically output to the line.

  Furthermore, it may be configured such that when there is an incoming call from the telephone number stored in the rejection number storage unit 260, the ring tone is not transmitted from the speaker 150. At that time, the telephone number on the calling side is displayed on the display unit 250, but it is desirable that the network control unit 130 does not connect the line even if the handset is off-hooked at that time. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to make it impossible to respond to an incoming call from a destination for mischievous telephone calls.

These are block diagrams of the Example apparatus to which this invention is applied. These are the flowcharts which show the operation | movement of the Example apparatus formed by applying this invention.
