[Catch incoming call] While an incoming call display sound for notifying that there is an incoming call from a third party during a call (two parties) comes from the communication line 1, the communication path with the other party of the call is temporarily cut off and DTMF is received. When the information reception terminal start-up sound including a signal or the like is detected by the transmission start detection unit 7 (step S1), the main control unit 15 causes the MOD coming from the communication line 1 to arrive.
The sender information such as the EM signal is received by the DSP 5 and temporarily stored in the RAM constituting the main control unit 15, and the sender information is received (step S2). In the exchange, after the sending of the caller information is completed, the communication path with the other party of the call is re-established, so the answering machine can make the original call after receiving the caller information. An incoming call display sound is sent from the exchange and is emitted in a form superimposed on the voice signal from the other party.

Then, the main control section 15 reads out the sender information temporarily stored in the RAM (step S3), and the display section 1
The caller information such as the telephone number of the third party and the reason for non-notification is displayed in 1 (step S4), and the date and time information is stored in the storage unit 10 (step S5), and it is determined whether or not a call is in progress. (Step S6) At this time, it is determined that a call is in progress because it is a catch incoming call, and "catch reception is present" is set (step S7), and the operation control ends.

[ON-HOOK] During a call (two parties), when the handset 3 is placed on the device body and the hook detection unit 4 detects ON-HOOK, the main control unit 15 executes the flow chart shown in FIG. Based motion control,
It is determined whether or not "catch reception is present" is set (step S21), and when it is determined that "catch reception is present" is set, it is determined whether or not an incoming call display sound is transmitted from the communication line 1 (step S21). S22),
When it is determined that the incoming call display sound is transmitted from the communication line 1, the latest caller information among the caller information stored in the storage unit 10 is stored in the storage unit 1 together with the arrival time.
Call from 0, set the arrival time ○○, set the “display of catch” indicating the incoming display of the sender information Δ △ (step S23), and clear the setting of “receive catch” and the display of the sender information. From (steps S24, S2

When the call signal from the exchange (not shown) arrives through the communication line 1 by performing the OK, and the call signal coming from the communication line 1 is received by the incoming call detection unit 8 (step S1), the call is made from the speaker 9. A sound is emitted (step S8), and it is determined whether "catch display is present" is set (step S9).

When the main control unit 15 determines that the "catch display is present" is set, the latest arrival time of the caller information stored in the storage unit 10 and the "catch display" are displayed. Based on whether or not the incoming time of the caller information set to "Available" matches, it is determined whether the incoming call is the same as the incoming call with "Catch display" (step S10).

By matching the arrival time of the newest originator information among the originator information stored in the storage unit 10 with the arrival time of the originator information set to "with catch display" When determining that the incoming call is the same as the incoming call with "catch display", the main control unit 15 associates the incoming time of the caller information set to "with catch display" with the incoming call (step S1).
Along with 1), caller information such as the caller's telephone number and reason for non-notification is displayed on the display unit 11 (step S12), and then the setting of “with catch display” is cleared (step S13) and the absence setting is made. It is determined whether or not it has been done (step S14).

Even if "catch display is present" is set, if the caller information is newly received by a normal incoming call thereafter, the caller information stored in the storage unit 10 It is judged that it is not the same as the incoming call with "Catch display" because the incoming time of the latest caller information does not match the incoming time of the caller information set to "Catch display". Control unit 1
No. 5 clears the setting of "with catch display" (step S13), and determines whether or not the absence is set (step S14).

When it is determined that the answering machine is set, the main control section 15 judges whether the number of times of answering machine has been reached (step S15), and when it is judged that the number of times of answering machine has been reached, the line interface The message message (voice signal) coming from 2 is processed by the DSP 5 and stored in the voice storage unit 6 to activate an answering response operation (step S16), and is also stored in the voice storage unit 6 by the answering response operation. When the message indicating that the message has been sent is associated with the caller information (step S17) and it is determined that the answering machine has not been set or the number of times the message has been answered has not been reached, the main controller 15 sends a message from an exchange not shown. The above-described operation control (steps S8 to S15) is repeated until the call signal does not arrive via the communication line 1.

Therefore, according to the above operation control, the caller information is stored in the incoming call, and then the communication line 1
ON-H when the incoming call display sound is being sent from
Even if a call signal from an exchange (not shown) arrives through the communication line 1 by performing the OOK, the caller information related to the incoming call can be displayed together with the sounding of the ringing tone. The caller information can be associated with the message in the answering message, and duplication of the incoming call history can be prevented.

In the above operation control, when ON-HOOK is performed in the state where the incoming call display sound is being sent out, the latest caller information among the caller information stored in the storage unit 10 is displayed. The caller information stored in the storage unit 10 is set when the call signal is detected and "catch display is present" is set in advance by calling from the storage unit 10 together with the incoming call time. Based on whether or not the arrival time of the newest caller information in the list matches the arrival time of the caller information that is set to "Catch display", the received call is the same as the "Catch display" call. It is determined whether the incoming call is received, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, ON
-In consideration of the system-determined time from HOOK to the arrival of a subsequent incoming call, when ON-HOOK is made in the state where the incoming call indication sound is being sent out, call the current time. If "catch display is present" is set, when the call signal is detected, when "catch display is present" is set, the time when the call signal is detected and the time when "catch display is present" is set. It may be possible to judge whether the incoming call is the same as the incoming call with the "catch display" based on whether the time difference between the incoming call and the incoming call is within a predetermined time. It may be determined based on the same incoming call.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the above-mentioned operation control is executed based on the program stored in the ROM constituting the main control section 15. However, the present invention is not limited to this and, for example, A program for executing the above operation control is received through the communication line 1, and the above operation control is executed based on the received program, or a CD
A program for executing the above operation control may be recorded in a recording medium such as a ROM, and the above operation control may be executed by reading the program recorded in the CD-ROM with a reader.
