JPH01264047A - Automatic dial telephone system with voice memory - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To minimize danger in automatic dialing while being in operation by adding a voice input memory device to a conventional automatic dialer. CONSTITUTION:In the presence of key entry for dialing from a one-touch key in a key input device 1, an address corresponding to the one-touch key entry is accessed from a telephone number storage register 8 and a voice storage registor 7 in a memory device 4 under the control of a control circuit 3. Then the opposite telephone number corresponding thereto is displayed on a display device 5 under the control of the control circuit 3 and a name is outputted in voice from a voice output device 9 simultaneously. Thus, the name of the opposite party corresponding to the number is instantly confirmed and an object telephone number is dialed by a minimum operation.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an auto-dial device, and more particularly to an auto-dial device with voice memory.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of auto-dial device has a memory for storing a plurality of telephone numbers, and further has a plurality of keys (one-touch keys) corresponding to the telephone numbers stored in this memory. When making a dial call, after the off-footer, the corresponding telephone number is displayed on the display by operating a one-touch key, and after confirming the display, dialing is activated dynamically. An auto-dial device has also been proposed that can simultaneously store the name of the other party corresponding to the stored telephone number and display it on a display by one-touch key operation.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the above-mentioned conventional auto-dial device, when making a call, it is necessary to rely only on the display when confirming whether or not the telephone number and name of the called party called by a one-touch key operation are actually the called party. This means that when applying an auto-dial device to a vehicle,
The driver has to check the display display, which hinders driving. Furthermore, even when an auto-dial device is used in an office, checking only on a display is not convenient for employees who frequently use the telephone.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks and to provide a device that can make an automatic dial call with a minimum of confirmation operations.

[Means to solve the problem]

According to the present invention, in an auto-dial device that stores a necessary telephone number and dials the telephone number by one-touch key operation after off-hook, a first means for storing the telephone number and a voice corresponding to the telephone number are stored. a key provided corresponding to the telephone number; and a second means for displaying and outputting the telephone number and voice stored in the first means and the second means by pressing this key after going off-hook. An auto-dial device with voice memory is obtained, which is characterized in that it includes the means described in item 3 above.

〔Example〕 Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of an automatic dialing device with voice memory according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation during automatic dial oscillation in the embodiment of FIG.

When storing a telephone number, the telephone number to be stored that is input from the keypad 1 is stored at a certain address in the telephone number storage register 8 in the memory device 4 under the control of the control circuit 3. At the same time, the user inputs the name corresponding to the telephone number to be memorized into the voice input device 2. Under the control of the control circuit 3, this name is stored at the address corresponding to the above-mentioned telephone number in the voice storage register 7 in the memory device 4. At this time, one of the plurality of one-touch keys provided on the device is assigned to the one-touch key corresponding to the above-mentioned telephone number and voice input.

There are usually about 5 to 10 one-touch keys. Further, the name of the other party may also be input from the key input device 1 in correspondence with the telephone number and stored in the memory device 4 as in the conventional manner.

Next, the operation during autodial oscillation will be explained. First you get off the hook. (The corresponding block diagram is omitted; step 1). Next, when a key is pressed to make a call from a certain touch key in the key-powered device 1, the telephone number storage register in the memory device 4 is controlled by the control circuit 3. 8 and the voice storage register 7, the address corresponding to the one-touch key manually is accessed. Then, under the control of the control circuit 3, the corresponding telephone number of the other party is displayed on the display device 5, and at the same time, the name is outputted by voice from the voice output device 9. (Step 2) If the name of the other party is stored in the memory device 4 as described above, it is displayed on the display device 5 at this time.

If the output from the display device 5 and the audio output device 9 does not correspond to the desired party, the user issues an access command to the next address from the key-powered device 1 or 1. In other words, press another one-touch key. (Step 3) Then, the operation of step 2 described above is repeated.

When the desired number is found, the user presses the key
Input a confirmation signal from (Step 4) Then, under the control of the control circuit 3, the approximate telephone number on the telephone number storage register 8 in the memory device 4 is sent via the oscillating device 6 to the transmitter/receiver in the case of a subscriber line or an automatic telephone. (Step 5) [Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, by adding a voice manual memory device to the conventional auto dial device, when calling a number stored on the memory device, the voice This allows you to instantly check the name of the other party corresponding to that number, which has the effect of making it possible to make a call to the desired phone number with a minimum of operations. As a result, the danger of auto-dialing while driving can be minimized.
