Abstract

PURPOSE:To call and connect a callee at a connection desired time by setting the telephone number of the callee and the connection desired time and recording the name of a caller and the name of the callee in a voice storing and synthesizing device by the caller. CONSTITUTION:A caller 1 inputs the telephone number of a callee 2, the connection time, and the classification of a fixed time connection (a designated data, a designated day, a designated period, etc.) in a voice storing and synthesizing device 7. These pieces of information are received by a register 8 and stored in a storing circuit 5 together with the telephone number of the caller 1. Further, the caller 1 records the name of the caller 1 and the name of the callee 2 in the voice storing and synthesizing device 7 according to the instruction of the voice storing and synthesizing device 7. When the previously set time comes, a central control circuit 4 connects the pertinent caller 1 and the pertinent callee 2 in a memory circuit 5 to a response detecting circuit 6 and sends a calling signal to both the caller 1 and the callee 2 respectively. Thus, the callee can be called and connected at the time desired by the caller without interposing a person in charge of a switchboard.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a scheduled call connection system, and more particularly to a scheduled call connection system in which a called party is called and connected at a time desired by the caller.

[Conventional technology]

In traditional scheduled call connection systems, the caller previously connects the switchboard operator with the name of the called party.

By informing the telephone number and connection time, the operator at the switchboard dials the telephone number of the called party at the requested designated time, and when the called party answers, calls the requested telephone number. The calling party is called and connected to the called party.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional scheduled call connection method described above, the caller and called party are connected via the switchboard operator, so the switchboard operator may forget the caller's request or miss the specified connection time. This method had the disadvantage of allowing human error, such as not being able to connect at the time desired by the wrong caller.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a scheduled call connection system that can call and connect a called party at a time desired by the calling party without the intervention of a switchboard operator.

[Means to solve the problem]

The scheduled call connection system of the present invention includes a storage circuit for storing calling conditions for a scheduled call connection in an exchange equipped with a call path switch and a central control unit that controls the call path switch, and a calling party and a called party. a voice storage and synthesis device that records the name of a person and provides voice guidance for a predetermined message; and a response detection circuit that sends a calling signal to the calling party and the called party and detects a response; Dial a predetermined special number from the telephone and set arbitrary calling conditions in the memory circuit, and the central control unit refers to the set calling conditions and calls the calling party and the called party according to the calling conditions. The device is connected to a response detection circuit to make a call, and when the calling party and the called party respond, the device is connected to the voice storage and synthesis device to provide voice guidance.

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

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram for explaining one embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 1 shows a communication path switch 3 that connects a calling party 1 and a called party 2, a central control unit 4 that controls the communication path switch 3, and a memory that stores calling conditions for a scheduled call connection. a circuit 5, a response detection circuit 6 that sends a calling signal to the calling party and the called party and detects their respective responses, and a voice that records the names of the calling party and the called party and provides audio guidance of a predetermined message. A storage and synthesis unit 7 and a register 8 for receiving the calling party's dialing information are shown.

When the caller l picks up the handset and hears the dial tone, he dials a special number for requesting a scheduled call connection, and the register 8 receives this number and transmits it to the central control unit 4. The central control device 4 identifies this special number and sends it to the voice storage and synthesis device 7.
Select to connect with caller 1. The calling party 1 inputs the telephone number of the called party 2, the connection time, and the type of scheduled connection (designated date, designated day of the week) by operating the button on the telephone according to the calling condition setting method that is voice-guided by the voice storage and synthesis device 7. , specified period, etc.). These information are received in the register 8 and stored in the storage circuit 5 along with the telephone number of the calling party 1.
is memorized. In addition, the calling party 1 records the name of the calling party 1 and the name of the called party 2 in the voice storing and synthesizing device 7 according to the instructions from the voice storing and synthesizing device 7. When the above operations are completed, the calling party 1 records the name of the calling party 1 and the name of the called party 2 in the voice storing and synthesizing device 7. The completion of recording is notified, and when the calling party 1 picks up the telephone receiver, the connection between the calling party 1, the voice storage and synthesis device 7, and the register 8 is released.When the number is 0 or more, the registration procedure for the regular call connection is completed.

The central control circuit 4 refers to a clock (not shown) that holds standard time information, and when the set time arrives, the corresponding calling party 1 and called party 2 in the memory circuit 5 are detected as responding. It connects to circuit 6 and sends a calling signal to each. When the response detection circuit 6 detects the responses of the calling party 1 and the called party 2, the central control circuit 4 connects the response detection circuit 6 to the voice storage and synthesis device 7. The voice storage and synthesis device 7 arranges the registered voices of the calling party 1 in advance in time order, refers to the telephone number of the calling party 1, selects the corresponding voice, and sends the call in the stylized message. Insert the names of Caller 1 and Called Party 2, and inform Caller 1 that the call is to Called Party 2 who has received a request, and inform Called Party 2 that the call is from Caller 1 to Called Party 2. A voice prompt informs that the call is to person 2. Voice storage and synthesis device 7
When the voice guidance is completed, the central control circuit 4 releases the connection between the calling party 1 and the called party 2 and the response detection circuit 6, and the calling party 1
and the called party 2 are connected. The above operation enables the calling party 1 to start a conversation with the called party 2.

In this embodiment, a case is shown in which the called party 2 is accommodated in the same exchange, but even if the called party 2 is accommodated in another station, the central control circuit 4 can set the calling conditions in the memory circuit 5. It is sufficient to refer to the telephone number of the called party 2 in , and send that telephone number by a sender (not shown) to connect the called party 2 of another station to the response detection circuit 6.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention enables the calling party to set the called party's telephone number and desired connection time, and to record the calling party's name and the called party's name in the voice storage and synthesis device. This has the effect of automatically calling and connecting the called party at a desired time without the intervention of a switchboard operator.
