DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable telephone system, and more particularly, to providing a portable telephone system in which a called party can select a call and talk.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a portable telephone system, a receiver does not know who the other party is when a call comes in. For example, if a call is received in a situation where it is difficult to take a call, such as during a meeting or on a train, it is really necessary to make a call because it is impossible to determine who or what the call came from. I was wondering if it was.

[0003]

As described above, the conventional portable telephone system has a problem that it is not possible to determine whether the telephone is necessary or not and there is no way to cope with it.

[0004] There is also a problem that a call that one does not want to take, such as a prank call, must be taken because the other party is unknown.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a portable communication system in which a called party can select a call and make a call.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a portable telephone system which is capable of making necessary calls according to the present invention. The portable telephone system comprises a gateway exchange connected to a telephone and an internal device. I that controls
An N-node and a multimedia mail device connected to the gateway exchange for storing and sending an incoming call message. The multimedia mail device recognizes a name and the like.
Name recognition device, voice / character conversion device that converts voice to text
It has a message storage device that stores messages and messages.
Caller's name converted to characters by voice / character converter
To determine whether or not to listen to the message.
Reproduces the messages stored by the message storage device and
It is characterized by determining whether or not to do .

[0007]

[0008]

[0009]

[0010] Furthermore, it is preferable that the multimedia mail apparatus asks whether the sender is urgent or not, and if so, asks the sender to input his / her name by voice.

[0011]

[0012]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an embodiment of a portable telephone system capable of making necessary calls according to the present invention. In the present embodiment, a GS (Gateway Switch) 1, an IN node 2, and an MMS (Multimedia Mail Device) 3 are provided, and the GS 1 is connected to the IN node 2 when a call enters a terminal using this system. And the IN node 2 has a service control function 5 for controlling the service when a call using the service arrives. The MMS 3 is a multimedia mail device having a name recognition device 6, a voice / character conversion device 7, and a message storage device 8 therein, and stores a message when a service user receives a call,
Or send a message.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the operation of the embodiment of the portable telephone system capable of making necessary calls according to the present invention. As shown in this figure, the service user sends a special number from the terminal to determine whether or not to use the service, and switches the service ON / OFF. Then, the GS1 is notified that the service has been turned ON or OFF.

[0015]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, GS1
Uses the service switching function 4 to distribute a call according to an instruction from the IN node 2 when a call enters a terminal using this system. The IN node 2 manages the service ON / OFF of the service user, and when the service user receives a call when the service is ON, controls the service and instructs the service switching function 4 to distribute the call. MMS3 is
This is a multimedia mail device having a name recognition device 6, a voice / character conversion device 7, and a message storage device 8 therein. The name recognizing device 6 performs voice recognition of the name of the other party of the call received by the service user when the service is turned on, and recognizes the voice / voice.
The character is converted into characters by the character conversion device 7. At this time, the contents of the message are stored in the message storage device 8 by voice.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the service user sends a special number from the terminal to determine whether or not to use the service, and switches the service ON / OFF.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the first embodiment of the present invention. When a call is received when the service is turned on, the GS1 sends a message that the other party is in a state where it is difficult to answer the call, and connects the call to the MMS 3 (step A2). The MMS 3 asks whether the caller is urgent or not, and if so, asks the caller to input his / her name by voice (steps A6 and A7). The name recognizing device 6 recognizes the voice (step A8) and confirms with the sender whether the name is correct (step A).
9). If there is, the user is requested to continue inputting the message, and the voice is stored in the message storage device 8 (step A1).
0). After confirming the contents (step A11), the name of the caller is converted into characters by the voice / character converter 7 and transmitted to the terminal of the callee (service user) (step A12). The called party determines whether or not to hear the business by looking at the name sent (step A13). When listening, the message stored in the message storage device 8 is reproduced (step A1).
4). If you did not hear the message or after hearing it,
It is determined whether or not to talk (step A15). If no call is made, a message is sent to the caller that the call cannot be made (step A16), and the call is released (step A17). In addition, the caller, after recording the message,
Music on hold plays until the callee decides to call,
I have been waiting.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 in that there is no determination as to whether or not it is urgent. That is, this is an embodiment in which steps A2 and A6 in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3 are omitted. First, when a call is received while the service is on, a message indicating that the call is difficult to answer is not sent and the name of the caller is input without determining whether the call is urgent or not. (Step A7). After judging that the name is correct, it records the business and waits for the callee to judge whether to connect the telephone. In this embodiment, when a callee (service user) receives a call from an unknown person or a call from an unpleasant person, it is possible to know before the call. As a result, this service is always
By setting N, there is a new effect of preventing prank calls.

[0022]

As described above, according to the present invention, the called party of the telephone can know whether or not the telephone is necessary at that time, and particularly when the telephone is busy during a conference, in a train, or the like. It is not necessary to take a phone call.

Also, there is an effect that the caller can easily make a call without worrying about the situation of the other party.

Further, the receiver can know the other party before the call before calling, and this has the effect of not having to talk to the other party who does not want to talk at that time.
