Abstract

PURPOSE:To send an optional message to a predetermined opposite party automatically as a plan by incorporating a tape recorder, a timer and an automatic hookup dial device or the like. CONSTITUTION:A timer 16 upon the arrival at a set time starts a tape start control section 15 to start a tape recorder 11 thereby generating a voice message and starts an automatic hookup device 18 to hook up the telephone set. The voice is converted into an electric signal through a voice signal conversion section 12 and a dial station number signal at the head of the voice signal is converted into 0-9 individual dial signals by a dial number reader 13 and a signal corresponding to the telephone station number generated from a pulse generator 14 is sent to an opposite station via an automatic dial device 19 and after the dial pulse is sent, the message is sent to the opposite station via a voice signal conversion section 12. Thus, an optional message is sent to the predetermined opposite party at a specific time automatically according to the plan.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to telephones.

[Conventional technology]

With conventional telephones, when a person wants to make a call, the person making the call must connect the line and input voice by hooking up the telephone, dialing, and speaking into the telephone.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As mentioned above, with conventional telephones, when making a call, the speaker must back up the telephone, dial, and speak into the telephone in order to connect the line and input voice. There was an inconvenience in that it was not possible to automatically send a message to a specific person in a planned manner.

An object of the present invention is to provide a telephone that has a built-in tape recorder, timer, automatic hook-up dialing mechanism, etc., and can automatically and systematically send any message to a predetermined party when you are absent or busy. It is in.

[Means to solve the problem]

The telephone set of the present invention includes a tape recorder for recording a destination telephone number and the contents of a message after the telephone number, a timer for setting a call time, and a tape start for starting the tape recorder by starting the timer. a control, an audio signal converter that converts the audio output from the activated tape recorder into an electrical signal, a dial number reading mechanism that reads the destination telephone number from the signal converted by the audio signal converter, and the dial number. a pulse generator that generates telephone pulses by a reading mechanism; an automatic hookup mechanism that automatically performs hookup based on the output from the timer; and a logic between a hookup signal of the automatic hookup mechanism and an output signal of the pulse generator. an automatic dialing mechanism that dials an external number based on the number of calls made by the pulse generator, and after the dialing by the pulse generator reaches a predetermined number of digits, the tape start control unit is activated and the message content recorded after the telephone number on the tape is sent to the line. It is configured to include a counter that sends out data.

〔Example〕

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.0 Prior to making a call, the telephone number of the person to be called and the content of the message are transmitted to the telephone of this embodiment via the microphone 10, which is a transmitter of the telephone. It is recorded on a tape recorder 11 built in. The user sets the time at which he or she wishes to send this message in the timer 16 using the time set/reset switch 17. When the set time comes, the timer 16 starts the tape start control section 15 and starts the tape recorder 11. and generates audio, and the automatic hook-up mechanism 18
to automatically put the telephone set of this embodiment into a hook-up state without having to pick up the handset.

On the other hand, the audio transmitted from the tape recorder 11 is converted into an electrical signal via the audio signal converter 12, and the dial area number signal at the beginning of the signal is read by a dial number reader! R13 results in individual dial signals from O to 9, and the pulse generator 14 generates pulse signals corresponding to the respective dial signals. The signal corresponding to the telephone area number generated from the pulse generator 14 is ANDed with the signal on the output side of the automatic hookup mechanism 18, and the AND is performed only when the output state of the automatic hookup mechanism 18 is in the hookup state. becomes the true value and becomes valid as an input signal for the automatic dialing mechanism 19,
A dial pulse signal is sent to the output side of the automatic dialing mechanism 19, and transmitted to the other party's station via the input/output section 20 of the telephone, along the line 21.

After the dial pulse is sent, after the counter 25 completes counting the specified number of digits, the tape start control section 1
5, the message being recorded in the tape recorder 11 passes through the audio signal converter 12 and is transferred to the input/output unit 20.
is sent to the other party's station via line 21.

Regarding the reception of a signal from the other party's station, the signal is received via the input/output section 20 as in a normal telephone, then the signal is passed through the signal-to-speech converter 22, and the voice is heard from the receiver through the speaker 23.

Note that a footer-up automatic/manual changeover switch may be provided, and the automatic hookup mechanism 18 may be enabled or disabled by operating the hookup automatic/manual changeover switch.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention provides a tape recorder, a timer, and an automatic hook-up mechanism in a telephone.

By incorporating automatic dialing mechanism, voice signal converter, dial number reading mechanism, pulse generator, etc.
This has the effect that any message can be automatically and planned sent to a predetermined party at a specific time without the speaker being present.
