JPH01190155A - Automatic answering telephone system - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the change in the recording content by giving a specific number to message recording, informing it to a caller and collating the specific number when the caller desires the content of recording. CONSTITUTION:When an incoming call comes from a caller 1 to on automatic answering telephone set 3, a message sending section 4 sends a specific number representing the recording identification to the caller 1 and the speed recording section 5. The recording section 5 records the speech and specific number of the caller 1. When the revision of recorded content is required, the call is given from the caller 1 to the telephone set 3 and the specific number the same as the preceding number is dialed. The dial signal is received by a specific number reception section 6 and collated with the preceding specific number by a specific number collation section 7. When they are coincident, the recording section 5 records the speech from the caller 1 again.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an improvement in an answering machine, and particularly to an answering machine in which the recorded content can be changed.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in the answering machine system, a method is known in which an automatic answer is provided when a call is received, the call is notified to the calling subscriber that the answering machine is automatically answered, and the call from the calling subscriber is recorded.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the conventional answering machine system described above, information content is recorded sequentially according to the order in which calls are received. The answering machine holder received the call again and was recording it.As a result, the owner of the answering machine could not have known that there had been a change or correction without playing back all the recorded content. The disadvantage is that it does not.

Another drawback is that if the recorded content is urgent, the calling subscriber is under a psychological burden of being at risk of taking action without listening to all of the recorded content.

Is the purpose of the present invention a specific number for call recording? At the same time, the assigned number is notified to the originating subscriber, and when a specific number is received from the originating subscriber and verified, the call recording corresponding to the specific number is changed based on a match, and the call recording is re-recorded. It is an object of the present invention to provide an answering machine system that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and is configured so that the reproduced recorded content can be easily changed.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The answering machine system according to the present invention includes a message sending section,
It is configured to include a specific number verification section and a call recording section.

The message sending unit assigns a first specific number to the recorded call, and selects the first specific number? This is to notify the calling subscriber.

The specific number matching unit checks the second specific number sent from the calling subscriber. This is for receiving and comparing it with the first specific number.

The call recording section is for changing and re-recording the recorded call according to the first specific number based on a match.

(Example of actual power) Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of an answering machine system according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is the calling subscriber, 2 is an exchange, 3 is an answering machine, 4 is a message sending section, S is a call recording section, 6 is a specific number receiving section, and 7 is a specific number matching section.

The message sending unit 4 sends various messages to the calling subscriber 1, and sends a specific number to the call recording unit S. The call recording unit 5 records the call from the calling subscriber 1, stores the specific number received from the message sending unit 4 in correspondence with the recording, and further records the specific number received from the specific number matching unit 7. Record and re-record the call from calling subscriber 1.

The specific number receiving section 6 receives the specific number from the calling subscriber 1, and the specific number checking section 7 checks whether the specific number received by the specific number receiving section 6 matches the already recorded specific number. .

In FIG. 1, when an answering machine 3 receives a call from a calling subscriber 1, the answering machine 3 responds by automatic response means (not shown), and a message sending section 4 sends a message to the calling subscriber 1. A message indicating that the answering machine is an automatic answering machine@3 and a specific number indicating the recording identification is sent as a message. At this time, the message sending unit 4 also sends the specific number to the call recording unit S.

The call recording unit S records the call of the originating subscriber 1, and stores the special number received from the message sending unit 4 as a specific number corresponding to this recording. Thereafter, the calling subscriber 1 completes the necessary call and recovers, and the answering machine 3 also returns to the recovery state. If it becomes necessary to change or correct the recorded content for some reason after a series of recovery operations, the calling subscriber 1 receives the call again on the answering machine 3 and indicates that it is an automatic response from the message sending section 4. Message? After listening, the user dials the same specific number as before in accordance with the message of the specific number sent from the answering machine 3 during the previous recording.

The dialed number is received by the specific number receiving section 6 and checked by the specific number matching section 7 to see if it matches the specific number that has already been recorded and assigned. If the comparison indicates a match, the specific number matching section 7 sends the matched specific number to the message sending section 4 and the call recording section S.

By receiving the specific number from the specific number verification unit 7,
The message sending unit 4 sends a message to the originating subscriber 1 to the effect that it is a re-recording corresponding to a specific number. The communication recording section S receives the specific number from the special number verification section F, and then records the call from the originating subscriber 1 in response to the previous recording corresponding to the specific number. Re-record.

If the specific number matching section 7 does not match, the message sending section 4 sends a message indicating the number mismatch to the originating subscriber 1.

In the present invention, the specific number at the time of recording is notified to the calling subscriber 1 from the answering machine 3, but the calling subscriber 1
It goes without saying that a method of registering a specific number in the answering machine telephone 3 can also be implemented in the same manner.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention provides a method for assigning a specific number to a recorded call, and also assigning a specific number to a call recording. Notify the originating subscriber, receive a specific number from the originating subscriber, check it, and if the verification matches, change the recording of the phone call according to the V specific number, and re-record to change the recorded content. There is the hassle of having to play back all recordings to find out whether or not there have been corrections, and if the recording is urgent, the user may take action without knowing that there is a recording of changes or corrections. This has the effect of reducing the psychological burden on the calling subscriber side.
