Abstract

PURPOSE:To transmit a recorded message to the remote side by recording this message previously, storing the telephone number of the remote side and the time information and catching a telephone circuit at a set time point for transmission of the message. CONSTITUTION:A control circuit 3 decides the input signals received via a dial button 2 as the time information and the telephone number information. Then the circuit 3 stores the telephone number information in a dial memory part 4 and starts the counting action of an originating timer 5 based on the time information. When the timer 5 finishes its counting action, the circuit 3 sends an off-hook signal (a) to a circuit close/open circuit 12 to catch a telephone circuit. Then the circuit 3 transmits the message recorded previously at a voice message part 8 to said telephone circuit via a signal line 101. Furthermore an on-hook signal (b) is transmitted via an on-hook timer 11 after a prescribed time after the dial end of a dial circuit 10. Thus the telephone circuit is opened. Then the message recorded previously is transmitted.

[Example] Next, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

This telephone has a telephone line connected to terminal 13,
Setting button l, dial button 2, control circuit 3,
dial memory section 4, outgoing timer 5, micro, telephone call circuit 7, voice message memory section 8, reversal detection circuit 9, dial circuit IO, on-hook timer 11,
It has a line connection/opening circuit 12. This telephone automatically dials a telephone number at a preset time and transmits a prerecorded message to the other party.

In such a telephone, the communication circuit 7 is connected to the signal path 10
1 to the line connection/opening circuit 12, and transmits and receives call signals.

The line closing/opening circuit 12 closes or disconnects the telephone line connected to the terminal 13. This closing or opening is performed by an off-hook signal a from the control circuit 3 or an on-hook signal S from the on-hook timer 11, which is input to the line closing and opening circuit 12.

The dial button 2 inputs the telephone number and time of the other party for automatic dialing, and outputs telephone number information and time information corresponding to the telephone number and time to the control circuit 3.

The setting button 1 is connected to the control circuit 3, and is pressed when determining that the input signal from the dial button 2 is time information and telephone number information, either before or after these pieces of information are input.

The dial memory section 4 temporarily stores telephone number information from the dial button 2 via the control circuit 3. Then, the dial memory section 4 sends this telephone number information to the dial circuit 10 via the control circuit 3 under the control of the control circuit 3.

The outgoing timer 5 starts counting in response to time information input from the dial button 2 via the control circuit 3.

The micro is connected to the communication circuit 7 and inputs messages to the other party.

The voice message memory section 8 records the message from the micro via the telephone call circuit 7. As a method for recording the voice signal input from the micro as a message in the voice message memory section 8, an operation of pressing the setting button 1 and the dial button 2 in succession, for example, an operation of pressing the setting button 1 and the dial button 2, is performed. is necessary. Further, the voice message memory unit 8 outputs a prerecorded message to the signal path 101 under the control of the control circuit 3 .

When the dial circuit 10 receives telephone number information from the dial memory section 4 via the control circuit 3, it sends out a dial signal corresponding to this telephone number information to the signal path 101.

When the telephone line is closed, the reversal detection circuit 9 determines the response of the other party from the signal path 101 and sends an inversion detection signal to the control circuit 3.

By pressing the setting button 1, the control circuit 3 distinguishes the input signal from the dial button 2 as time information and telephone number information, stores the telephone number information in the dial memory section 4, and uses the time information to make a call. Start timer 5 to start counting. Furthermore, after the outgoing timer 5 has finished counting, the control circuit 3 sends an off-hook signal a to the line connection/release circuit 12.
is transmitted to capture the telephone line, and to the dial circuit 10,
A dial signal based on the telephone number information stored in the dial memory section 4 is sent out to call the other party. Further, the control circuit 3 receives an inversion detection signal from the inversion detection circuit 9,
The voice message memory section 8 is caused to send out a previously recorded message to the signal path 101.

The on-hook timer 11 is connected to the voice message memory section 8 and the dial circuit 10, and after the message transmission from the voice message memory section 8 is finished or when the other party does not respond, the on-hook timer 11 starts counting from the time when the dial circuit 10 finishes dialing. After a predetermined period of time has elapsed from the start, an on-hook signal for opening the telephone line is sent to the line closing/opening circuit 12.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

First, the message to the other party is input into the micro
The message is input to the voice message memory section 8 via the voice message memory section 8. The voice message memory section 8 stores this message.

Next, press the setting button 1, operate the dial button 2, and input the telephone number and time of the other party.

By pressing this setting button l, the control circuit 3 distinguishes the input signal from the dial button 2 as time information and telephone number information, records the telephone number information in the dial memory section 4 ↑a, and uses the time information to make a call. Start timer 5 to start counting. When the outgoing timer 5 finishes counting, the control circuit 3 sends an off-hook signal a to the line connection/release circuit 12 to seize the telephone line. Thereby, the telephone line is connected to the signal path 101 via the recessed line closing/opening circuit 12. Thereafter, the control i'In circuit 3 causes the dial circuit IO to send out a dial signal based on the dial information stored in the dial memory section 4 to the telephone line via the signal path 101 to call the other party. When the other party responds to this call, a reversal detection circuit 9 determines the other party's response.
A reversal detection signal is sent from.

Upon receiving this inversion detection signal, the control circuit 3 causes the message recorded in advance in the voice message memory section 8 to be sent to the telephone line via the signal path 101. After the message has been sent from the voice message memory section 8, an on-hook signal is sent from the on-hook timer 11 to the line closing/opening circuit 12, and the telephone line is opened. Furthermore, even if the other party does not respond, the on-hook timer 11 sends out an on-hook signal a predetermined time after the end of dialing in the dial circuit 10, and the telephone line is released.

In this way, according to this embodiment, a message to the other party is recorded in advance, and the telephone number and time information of the other party are stored.

Then, at this set time, the telephone line is acquired, a dial call is made, and a message is sent after the other party answers. Further, the telephone line is opened after sending the message, or after a predetermined period of time from the end of dialing if the other party does not respond.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention automatically dials a telephone number at a preset time and conveys a prerecorded message to the other party. Even if there is no message, there is an effect that there is no need to request another person to send a message.
