Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a telephone set in which the names of a company and the like are unnecessary to be vocalized at every response by providing a message storage means which stores a message and a message transmission means which transmits the message in response to an incoming to a self equipment. CONSTITUTION:For storing the message, a KEY10 is set to throw on the side of the storage part 1. Consequently, the message can be recorded. The message is stored in the storage part 1 through a transmitter 2, and the KEY10 is returned to the side of a telephone circuit network 4. The incoming from an opposite telephone set is detected in an incoming detection circuit 5, and it is stored in an incoming delay circuit 6 while the call signal is interrupted. When a responder responds (when he lifts up the transmitter 2 and a receiver 3), the storage part 1 is started by hook switches(HS) 8 and 9 and then the previously recorded message is transmitted to a channel 11.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a telephone set, and more particularly to a telephone set having a handset and a receiver for making telephone calls via a telephone line.

Prior Art Conventionally, in this type of telephone, after the answerer picks up the handset (off-hook) in response to an incoming call from another telephone,
, saying the company name, department name, or individual name. However, in this case, the company name, etc. must be spoken each time a response is made, and long department names or difficult nicknames are difficult to pronounce or are easy to mispronounce, making it extremely inconvenient. Another drawback was that it was difficult for the other party to hear.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a telephone that does not require the user to say the company name, etc. each time a response is made.

Structure of the Invention The telephone of the present invention is a telephone having a handset and a receiver for making a call via a communication path, and includes a message storage means for storing a message, and a telephone for transmitting the message in response to an incoming call to the own device. and a connection means for connecting the handset and the communication path after sending the message.

Example Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail using the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a system diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of a telephone according to the present invention. In the figure, the telephone according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a storage section 1, a transmitter 2, a receiver 3, a telephone network 4, a @ call detection circuit 5, an incoming call delay circuit 6, and a power supply section. 7.

Note: Part 1 is an audio RAM (Randon+Acce
ss Hen+ory) and stores messages (company name, etc.).

The transmitter 2 receives the voice of the responder.

The receiver 3 converts the voice signal of the other party sent via the communication path into sound.

The incoming call detection circuit 5 detects incoming calls from the other party's telephone, and includes an incoming call delay unit I? Reference numeral 86 stores the incoming call while the ringing signal is interrupted.

The power supply section 7 supplies the power supply voltage 7 necessary for each section to operate.
0.

Telephone i? The 8 network 4 has functions such as voice transmission and call/receive functions.

In such a configuration, if you want to memorize the message,
Fold the KEY 10 toward the storage section 1 side. Then you will be able to record messages. After the message is stored in the storage unit 1 via the transmitter 2, the KEY 10 is returned to the telephone network 4 side. Preparations are now complete.

Next, the case where there is an incoming call will be explained. An incoming call from the other party's telephone is detected by the incoming call detection circuit 5, and is stored in the incoming call delay circuit 6 while the ringing signal is interrupted.

Thereafter, when the answerer answers (lifts up the transmitter 2 and handset 3), the storage unit 1 is activated by the hook switches (HS) 8 and 9. Then, a prerecorded message is sent to the communication path 11.

On the other hand, the message is also sent out as voice from the receiver 3. When all messages have been sent, the transmitter 2 and the receiver 3 are
and call 1B ], ] are connected via IZ, and a call can be made.

In other words, in the present invention, the company name, etc. is carefully recorded in advance, and when an incoming call is received, the receiver and transmitter are picked up.
When you send a message to the other party, you can make a call after the two people in question have been accurately sent to the other party, so you don't have to say long department names or difficult nicknames each time. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a voice RAM is provided, and the recorded content can be rewritten at any time, so even if the department name changes, etc., it can be recorded from the telephone transmitter, and a dedicated writing device etc. is unnecessary.

In this embodiment, an audio RAM is used as the storage section, but the same effect can be obtained by using a magnetic tape or an optical tape instead to record messages magnetically or optically. is clear.

Effects of the Invention As explained in 2, the present invention is capable of transmitting a message that has been written and hidden in advance to the communication path.
This has the effect of easing the burden on the responder, as they no longer have to say difficult company names or long department names each time they respond.
