Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize a response with flexibility by switching plural message according to prescribed set time respectively. CONSTITUTION:Respective parameters of all arbitrary reservation numbers and time to be needed are inputted from an input device 1, and thereafter they are changed to message storage starting positions respectively by a controller 4 in corresponding to respective reservation numbers. After the positions are decided, corresponding respective messages are inputted by a handset and stored in a memory device 5. Plural stored messages are switched by the designated times respectively. Thus, the flexible response can be realized to an incoming opposite party.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a telephone device, and more particularly, to a telephone device that is used to answer a telephone call according to each set time of a plurality of reserved messages. .

(Prior Art) Conventionally, so-called answering machines, etc., respond to a caller who receives a call while the user is away by sending a single message.
For example, a recording device such as a tape recorder is set to detect a certain ringing time and automatically play/output it to respond.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the conventional example described above, only one message can be reserved at a time, so if the other party is in a predetermined ringing time, There was a constraint that even if someone called me at a certain time, I could only respond with the same message as above.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problem of lack of flexibility in the conventional example, and an object thereof is to provide a telephone device that can switch between a plurality of messages according to predetermined set times.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Therefore, in one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a device for inputting a plurality of times and messages into a storage means, a device for determining each of these times, and a device for inputting a plurality of times and messages into a storage means, a device for determining each of these times, and a device for inputting a plurality of times and messages into a storage means, The above object is achieved by configuring the apparatus to include a control device that switches the storage address of each message in accordance with each of the determination times.

(Function) With the configuration as described below, it becomes possible to switch between a plurality of stored messages according to a designated time, and it is possible to respond more flexibly to the incoming call party.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be explained below based on examples.

(Configuration) FIG. 1 shows a functional configuration block diagram of an embodiment of a telephone device according to the present invention. In the figure, l is an input device for inputting a plurality of times, reservation numbers, messages, etc. into respective predetermined devices, and 2 is an input device for storing a plurality of input times and reservation numbers corresponding to each time. , a time setting device 3 for transmitting a specific time and reservation number among them to the next device 3; the time setting device 3 detects each of the set times and transmits the reservation number to the next device 4; A time determination device 4 for notifying the time determination device 2 that the time has been detected receives a specific reservation number from the input device 1 and the time determination device 3, and determines the message storage start position of the time determination device 3. A control device 5 is a message storage device for storing a plurality of messages input from the input device 1. Further, 6 is an output device for reproducing/outputting the message selectively controlled by the control device 4 and responding/sending it to the receiving party.

(Operation) Next, the flow of processing when switching between a plurality of messages in the above configuration will be explained based on the operation sequence flowchart shown in FIG.

First, in step S1, after inputting each parameter of all necessary arbitrary reservation numbers 1 and time using the input device 1, the control device 4 inputs parameters corresponding to each reservation number.
, respectively, to change to the message storage start position. After the location is determined, each corresponding message is inputted using a receiver (not shown) and stored in the storage device 5. The time setting device 2 contains all reservation numbers.

Since the time is stored, in step s2, the time SIJ of reservation number 1 is set in the time discrimination device M3.

Next, in step S3, when the specified time has arrived (YES), the time discrimination device 3 transmits the reservation number to the control device 4, and also notifies the time setting device 2 that the set time has arrived ( Step S4). The control device 4 receives the reservation number which is this time information, and in step S5,
The message start position is changed in accordance with the reservation number, and in step S7, it is played/outputted on the output device 6.
Reply/send to recipient. Further, the time setting device 2 that has received the signal sets the set time of the next reservation number 2 in the device 3 via step S6 and again in step S3. These operations are repeated in sequence.

Further, in the time setting device 2, if the reservation number is up to 3, for example, the reservation number 1 can be reset after the reservation number 3.

(Usage example/effect) With the above configuration/operation, for example, at the beginning of a message, if the specified time is in the morning. Good morning...-1 If it's during the day, you can say, ``Hello...'' At night, you can say, ``Good evening,'' and if you call in the middle of the night, you can say, ``I'm sorry, but I'm sorry. By adding a prefix such as "I'm on vacation...", you can send a message to the incoming caller that is much more effective than the conventional, uniform message.
Allows for much more flexible responses.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, a plurality of stored messages can be switched depending on the designated time, making it possible to respond more flexibly to an incoming telephone call.
