BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, an embodiment of a telephone according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a PHS telephone as an embodiment of a telephone according to the present invention. In this figure, 1 is an MPU that controls the entire apparatus,
It is called a PU) 21, a ROM 22, a RAM 23, a clock source 24 and an I / O port 25. here,
The CPU 21 synchronizes with a clock supplied from the clock source 24, and executes a process designated in accordance with a program stored in the ROM 22 and defining an operation process procedure in a RAM.
It is executed by using the operation data from 23 and the external information. In addition, the CPU 21 uses the I / O port 25 for MP
It is connected to other parts other than U1 to exchange signals and data.

The key 2 is used to input a telephone number and set various operation modes. The display unit 3 displays various information input from the keys 2 and the state of the telephone, and is composed of an LCD. The vibration motor 4 (including a vibration drive circuit) operates at the time of incoming call or various operations to notify them. The recording / playback circuit 5 is composed of a memory such as a RAM, and records / plays back a message message sent to the other party or a message message sent from the other party. The ringer 12 operates at the time of receiving an incoming call or recording a message from the other party, and notifies them. The timbre and melody of the ringer 12 at the time of incoming call and at the time of recording a message from the other party are different.

The RF transmitter / receiver circuit 7 amplifies and frequency-converts the signal received by the antenna 6 to generate a baseband IC.
An RF receiving circuit for outputting a demodulation signal to the (BBIC),
It is composed of an RF transmission circuit that amplifies and frequency-converts the voice modulation signal from the baseband IC and outputs it to the antenna 6 as a transmission signal.
The connection with the transmission circuit is made by a changeover switch (not shown). The baseband IC 8 is controlled by the CPU 21 and modulates and demodulates a voice signal and an RF signal. The audio signal output from the baseband IC 8 is converted from a digital signal to an analog signal by the AF circuit 9 and then amplified to drive the speaker 10. The audio signal from the microphone 11 is amplified and analog-to-digital converted by the AF circuit 9 and then output to the baseband IC 8.

The telephone configured as described above is capable of recording a message message, and when the message message is recorded and transmitted, the specific identification information is automatically added to the destination sub-address, which is the transmission information, and the message is transmitted. When the other party responds, the previously recorded message message is automatically reproduced and sent to the other party. Further, when the specific identification information is detected in the called sub-address from the other party at the time of an incoming call, the ringer does not ring and an immediate response is automatically made to the recording state, and the message message from the other party is recorded. Therefore, if the originating and terminating telephones are the above-mentioned telephones, the originating side records the message, inputs the telephone number of the terminating side, and then performs the call operation. Moreover, the message message of the calling party can be recorded on the called party's telephone immediately without listening to the answering machine reply message from the called party. Hereinafter, such an operation is referred to as "immediate recording by detecting incoming subaddress", which is more familiar and is referred to as "voice voicemail".

Here, the called subaddress whose data format is shown in FIG. 3 is an information element in the call setup message, and the present invention utilizes this for controlling "voice voicemail" as described above. That is, in the case of "voice voice mail", the control code of "1", "3", and "6" is input as the specific identification information to the subaddress information of 4 to 6 octets of the called subaddress on the calling side. This control code is automatically added at the time of calling by the operation of the CPU 21 of FIG. On the receiving side, when a control code of "1", "3", or "6" is detected in the 4th to 6th octets of the destination subaddress from the transmitting side, an automatic response is immediately made and an immediate recording state is set. At this time, the ringer may not be sounded and an immediate response may be automatically made to immediately set the recording state.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing in detail the operation of the "voice voice mail" on the sending side and the receiving side. The operation of the "voice voice mail" will be described in detail with reference to this flowchart.

On the calling side, first, in the standby state (step S1), the key 2 is operated to select "voice voice mail" from the menu (step S2). Next, a message message is recorded in the recording / reproducing circuit 5 using the microphone 11 (step S3). After that, the telephone number of the called side is input using the key 2 to the telephone set in the transmission standby state (step S4), and the outgoing call operation is performed using the key 2 (step S5). Then, the control codes of "1", "3", and "6" are automatically added to the 4th to 6th octets of the destination subaddress for transmission (step S6).

When the called side receives an incoming call (step S7) for this call, the called side indicates "1", "3" or "6" in 4 to 6 octets of the called subaddress from the calling side. Whether or not there is a control code is detected in step S8. When the control code is detected, the receiving side automatically responds immediately without ringing the ringer 12 and immediately enters the recording state without sending the answering machine reply message (step S9).

The calling side receives the response from the called side and reproduces the previously recorded message message (step S1).
0), send to the called side. The callee side records the message message sent from the caller side in the recording / playback circuit 5 (step S11).

When the originating side finishes reproducing the message, it automatically disconnects (step S12) and enters a standby state (step S13). The called side disconnects the calling side or times out (step S1).
4) The recording is ended (step S15). Further, on the called side, the ringer 12 sounds to notify the owner of the message that the message has been received (step S16), and then the standby state is set (step S17). When the ringer 12 notifies the reception of the message message, the ringer 12 sounds with a tone or melody different from that of a normal incoming call. As a result, it is possible to notify the reception of the message message in distinction from the normal incoming call. In addition, this notification is made by the vibration motor 4
It can also be done by vibration. Also at this time, the vibration motor 4 vibrates in a state different from that at the time of a normal incoming call, so that it can be easily distinguished from the time of a normal incoming call. Furthermore, when a message is received, a mark is displayed on the display unit 3,
The display unit 3 also displays the reception of the message message.

When the control code is not detected when the control code in the destination sub-address is checked at step S8 on the receiving side, the receiving side becomes a normal incoming call (step S1).
8) When the ringer 12 sounds and responds manually (step S19), the response message from the calling side can be heard (step S20).

As described above, according to the above-mentioned telephone, it is possible to record the message message on the telephone of the other party very quickly and easily without ringing the ringer of the called party and listening to the answering machine reply message from the called party. it can. In addition, since the user does not have to write what he / she wants to convey in characters as in P-mail but only needs to record in his / her own voice, it is possible to easily create a message message and convey it to the other party. Furthermore, when sending a message, the control code is automatically added to the called sub-address to make a call. Therefore, just by inputting the telephone number of the other party as in a normal call, the operation is easy. Further, since the reception of the message message is notified by sound or vibration, it is possible to know that the message message is received even if the telephone is put in the bag. Moreover, at this time, by ringing or vibrating with a content different from that at the time of a normal incoming call, it is possible to notify the telephone set owner of the reception of the message message clearly distinguishing from the normal incoming call.

The message message can also be sent automatically to the other party at a set time in conjunction with the clock function. In addition, it is possible to automatically send a message message by linking with other functions at a predetermined timing, for example, when the other party enters the area with waiting support using the ID code of the base station. Furthermore, although the telephone is a PHS telephone in the above embodiment, the present invention can be applied to other telephones.
