2. Description of the Related Art A conventional telephone with an automatic recording function confirms an incoming call, notifies the other party of the start of recording, starts recording, and ends the recording when the other party hangs up the telephone. The recording time limit per recording device is set to a fixed time, and there is no individual recording time limit set by the other party. Therefore, when many messages are recorded, it takes time to reproduce the messages and listen to the messages. As a solution, there is an answering machine disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-179654. The answering machine solves the above problem by displaying a message and visually reading the message.

[0003]

However, in the answering machine of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-179654 for displaying the above-mentioned message, the message is displayed by a message code.
It is difficult to know the details of the business, because it is sent. There is also a method of solving the problem by shortening the recording time per record by voice recording. However, in the case of a long and important message, there is a risk that the message is cut off due to lack of time. is there.

[0004] Normally, the recording time of a message is limited, and when a message of low importance is recorded for a long time, the recording time of a message of high importance may be insufficient. Also, if you try to hear an important message immediately, you cannot do it.
In the answering machine of the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-179654, a message is sent by DTMF, which is troublesome.
In addition, there is a problem that a display unit for displaying a message needs to be provided in the telephone device.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and eliminates the above-mentioned problems, determines the priorities of callers, and sets a recording time limit according to the priorities. The purpose is to provide.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention relates to a digital type portable telephone with an automatic voice recording function having means for judging absence and recording a message from the other party. Means for providing a display device, registering a telephone number / priority table in which priorities are set in advance for a plurality of destination telephone numbers via an input device, and displaying the telephone number / priority table on the display device Means for registering a priority / recording time comparison table in which recording times are set in advance to the priorities via an input device, and displaying the registered priority / recording time comparison table on the display device; Telephone number recognizing means for recognizing the telephone number of the caller based on the caller ID notification coming from the base station; When said absence determination means determines absence, recognizes the telephone number of the destination phone number recognition means,
The telephone number / priority table registered in the memory is searched to recognize the priority of the telephone number, and the priority / recording time comparison table is searched by the priority and the recording time corresponding to the priority is searched. And recording means for recording the message of the other party within the recording time.

[0007]

By adopting the above configuration, the recording time can be changed depending on the other party. Therefore, the recording time of the important party can be set longer on the receiving side, and the recording time of the non-important party can be set shorter. The recording time and the reproduction time can be reduced, and the efficiency can be improved. In addition, a telephone number / priority table in which priorities are set for multiple destination telephone numbers and a priority / recording time comparison table in which recording times are set in priorities are separately registered in memory. Is easy to register because only the priority is set and the recording time is not directly set. In addition, since the telephone number / priority table and the priority / recording time comparison table can be displayed by the display means, setting and registration change are easy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a mobile phone with a recording function during absence according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, the apparatus comprises a CPU 1, a signal processing device 2, a wireless device 3, a recording device 4, a memory 5, an input device 6, a display device 7, and a handset 8.

In FIG. 1, a CPU 1 includes a signal processing device 2.
The incoming call is determined based on the data obtained from, and the telephone number of the caller is similarly recognized based on the data obtained from the signal processing device 2. Further, the telephone number of the caller is searched from the telephone number table registered in the memory 5 as shown in FIG. The table showing the telephone numbers and the priorities in FIG. 2 and the comparison table between the priorities and the recording times in FIG. 3 have been input from the input device 6 to the memory 5 in advance (details will be described later).

The signal processing device 2 is a device which converts a signal from the wireless device 3 into a digital signal and sends it to the CPU 1, and also converts data from the CPU 1 into an analog signal and sends it to the wireless device 3. The recording device 4 receives a command from the CPU 1 and
Is a device that starts recording a voice obtained from the signal processing device 2 from a signal received by the CPU 1 and stops the recording according to a command from the CPU 1. The voice of the response message is also recorded. The memory 5 is a memory device for registering a telephone number, a priority, and a recording time, and further stores a program for controlling the above operation.

The input device 6 is an input device for registering telephone numbers and priorities. The display device 7 is a display device for confirming registration of a telephone number. The handset 8
Handset for voice input / output.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the operation of the telephone.
It is. Description will be made with reference to FIG. An incoming message is received from the base station (step ST1), and it is recognized that there is an incoming call. A ringing tone is heard (step ST2), and the receiving side is notified of the calling. The number of ringing tones is counted to determine whether or not the receiving side is away (step ST
3). If the receiving side responds within four ringing tones (step ST4), it is determined that the user is at home, and a call is processed to connect to the other party (step ST14).

If the answer is 5 or more (step ST4), it is determined that the user is in the absence mode, and the mode is switched to the answering mode (step S4).
T5). Next, by calling number notification from the base station, the caller's telephone number is obtained from a signal from the signal processing device 2 (step ST6). The telephone number of the caller is compared with a telephone number table (FIG. 2) registered in advance and searched (step ST7). It is determined whether there is the same number (step ST8). If there is the same number, the priority of the corresponding telephone number is obtained from the telephone number and the priority table shown in FIG. 2 (step ST9). If the same number does not exist, the priority is set to the priority of the unregistered telephone number (step ST15).

Further, the recording time limit shown in FIG. 3 is set in the recording device 4 according to the priority (step ST1).
0). Next, a response message is sent, stating "I'm away now. If you hear a beep, please speak within xx seconds" (step ST11). Subsequently, recording is started (step ST12), and the recording is ended within the set recording time or when transmission from the caller is completed (step ST13).

Next, an example of a priority setting method will be described. The input device 6 inputs a telephone number. Next, the user determines how important the other party of the telephone number is to the user and inputs a priority. Priority is 1-10
And the priority is set to 5 for telephone numbers that are not registered.
