Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a key telephone device, and more particularly to a key telephone device adapted to record a call when the call duration is longer than a predetermined time.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of key telephone device is provided with a CPU for controlling the entire device, a voice storage unit and a terminal device, and all telephone calls can be made by operating the terminal device for making a call or by setting a program. It is configured to record in the voice storage unit.

[0003]

However, in the conventional button telephone device as described above, the recording at the time of the call is performed only by the person who is talking on the phone by operating the recording device, or all the calls are made. Since the method of recording automatically is adopted, there is a problem that a necessary call cannot be recorded without the operation of the person himself.

The present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and monitors the call time, and saves the call content recorded from the start of the call for the call whose call time has continued for a predetermined time or longer. An object is to provide a key telephone that can be used.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a key telephone main unit connected to a telephone line, a terminal connected to the key telephone main unit, and the key telephone main unit. A voice storage device for recording the content of a call between the terminal device and the other party connected via a call, a call time monitoring means for monitoring a call time between the terminal device and the other party, and a call by the call time monitoring means. It is provided with a control means for automatically storing the contents of the call recorded from the start of the call in the voice storage device for the call which has continued for a predetermined time or longer.

[0006] Thus, the call duration can be monitored and the necessary call content recorded from the start of the call can be saved for the call that has continued for a predetermined time or longer, and the administrator can check the relevant call content. You can prevent long talks and long private calls that are not related to your business.

The embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.
Will be explained. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a key telephone device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, a digital telephone main unit 1
Is a CPU 21 that controls the entire main device 1 and a telephone line 2.
Station line interface circuit 22 for connecting between the main unit 1 and
A digital terminal interface circuit 25 connected to the station line interface circuit 22 and the CPU 21 via a PCM highway 23 and a bus 24; and to the station line interface circuit 22 and the CPU 21 the PCM highway 2
3 and a voice storage device 26 connected via the bus 24.

The CPU 21 has a call time monitoring section 21A for monitoring the call time. In addition, the voice storage device 26 includes a CPU 26A that controls the entire voice storage device 26 and a CPU 26A.
Hard disk drive (HD
D) 26B, first in first out (FIF) connected between the CPU 26A and the PCM highway 23.
O) 26C and a signal processing circuit 26D connected between the CPU 26A and the bus 24.

The digital terminal interface circuit 25 is connected to the corresponding digital telephones 3 and 4 of the terminal which is the operation unit of the digital key telephone apparatus.

Next, the operation of this embodiment configured as described above will be described. In FIG. 1, the digital telephone 3 establishes a call path with the telephone line 2 through the office line interface circuit 22, the PCM highway 23, and the digital terminal interface circuit 25, and when the digital telephone 3 starts a call, the CPU 21 of the CPU 21 The call time monitoring unit 21A operates to monitor the call time.

At this time, if the CPU 21 is set in advance to "automatically record a call for a call for 15 minutes or longer that originates from the station line call", the digital telephone 3 sets the telephone lines 2 and 1.
When a call is made for 5 minutes or more, the voice storage device 26 that operates at the same time as the start of the call automatically saves the call content recorded from the start of the call.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the call duration is monitored by the call duration monitor of the CPU, and the content of the call is automatically saved for the call exceeding the set call duration. Therefore, the administrator can check the corresponding call contents and prevent long talks and long private telephones unrelated to business. In addition, it is possible to prevent long talk and long private telephone by making the user recognize the system without actually checking it.

In the present embodiment, the setting is set to "incoming call only", or the call time condition setting is changed.
By changing the digital telephones 3 and 4 to personal computers, data terminals, individual telephones, etc., replacing the voice storage device 26 with a data storage device, or using them in parallel, it is possible to use in fields such as telephone shopping and data services. Can also be used.

The voice storage device 26 is not only built in the main device, but can also be an external voicemail or data storage device if it is housed in a key telephone device.

Next, in the above-mentioned embodiment, claim 2
The operation corresponding to will be described. In this embodiment, a call is automatically recorded for a call of 15 minutes or more, whereas a third party operates the digital telephone 3 to record a call that meets the conditions from the start of the call. The contents of the call that had been held are to be saved.

That is, the number of users of the digital telephone 3 is 15
When talking for more than a minute, the contents of the call are saved by dialing from the digital telephone 4 at the discretion of the manager of the workplace.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment as described above, the call duration is monitored, and for the call exceeding the set call duration, the content of the call is saved by the operation from another terminal such as a digital telephone. By operating the administrator, it is possible to check the contents of the call of the user who is conspicuous, and prevent long talks and long private telephones not related to work. it can. In addition, it is possible to prevent long talk and long private telephone by making the user recognize the system without actually checking it.

In this embodiment, the setting is "only for incoming calls", the condition setting of the call time is changed, and the digital telephones 3 and 4 are changed to personal computers, data terminals, single telephones, etc. By replacing the voice storage device 26 with a data storage device or by using the data storage device in parallel, the voice storage device 26 can be used in fields such as telephone shopping and data services.

Further, by replacing the digital telephones 3 and 4 with a personal computer, when the call recording is to be executed by a third party operation, the CPU 21 is provided with a call status display function and the data (call time and call origination) is provided. By operating while displaying (call data etc.) on the screen,
Furthermore, there is an effect that it is possible to deal with the situation.

Furthermore, when the call recording is performed by the operation of the third party, the condition of the call time is set to zero, and when the operation of the third party (for example, the work manager) is performed, it is related to the call time. Instead, you can save the recorded call content from the beginning of the call.

Further, the voice storage device 26 is not only built in the main device, but can also be an external voice mail or data storage device if it is housed in the key telephone device.

[0027]
