DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a telephone with an automatic calling device that automatically makes calls.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, there is an answering machine as a telephone that has a convenient function when you are busy or when you are away from home and cannot answer the phone. According to this system, a call is automatically answered and comments from the caller are recorded on a magnetic tape or the like using an audio recording/playback device, so the user can later play back the recorded content and comment on the caller's comments. You can get comments from the caller.

If the comment is the caller's phone number, you can call back from here.

Additionally, some telephones have an automatic dialing function, which allows the caller to be dialed several times, even if the caller is busy at the time or the caller is away. It automatically dials the phone number, which is very helpful if you're busy and don't have to dial the number again.

In this way, conventional telephones are convenient, but when you are busy, you often forget to play back the recorded content, or when you play it back, you receive a request to call back. Sometimes I forget to call back.

In such cases, one has to be careful because one may miss important information.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, conventional telephones have some functional insufficiencies.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to automatically answer the other party's phone number without the user having to answer manually, and to automatically dial the phone number. To provide a telephone with an automatic dialing device which has a function of dialing and also has a function of notifying the user of dialing.

[Structure of the invention]

(Means for Solving the Problems) A telephone with an automatic calling device of the present invention automatically receives a call by detecting a bell signal, sends the contents of the voice memory to the telephone line, and then sends the contents of the voice memory from the telephone line to the telephone number memory. Write the phone number information received and dial that phone number when making an automatic call, and when making an automatic call,
The feature is that a notification to that effect is provided.

(Function) According to the present invention, by recording a message prompting the caller to notify the caller's phone number in the voice memory and having the caller notify the phone number, the automatic call timing can be adjusted. The telephone number sent will be automatically dialed and the user will be notified of this, so the user only needs to take action after receiving the notification.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a block circuit diagram of an embodiment of a telephone with an automatic calling device of the present invention.

In this figure, first, the telephone of this embodiment has connector 2.

When the relay controller 22 receives this line capture command signal, it switches the relay 4 (on the side opposite to that shown) and captures the telephone lines LL and L2.

The telephone number information detection circuit 11 has a function of detecting an MF multiplied signal, a dial pulse detection function, and a voice recognition function, and operates all functions simultaneously to detect whether there is telephone number information in the received signal. If telephone number information is included, this is created as data for the CPU 27.

When the CPU 27 receives the telephone number data after receiving the voice transmission end signal from the voice synthesis unit 32, the CPU 27 stores the telephone number data in the RAM 3.
4 and starts the built-in timer 28. The timer 28 can arbitrarily set its time-up time by operating a timer setting switch included in the operation switch 33 or a key manual section.

When the CPU 27 detects a time-up signal from the timer 28, it issues a dial command.

The switch 21 is for switching between a dial pulse signal and a button signal depending on the type of line to be connected.
1, a dial command and telephone number data are issued to either the MF signal generation circuit 12 or the dial pulse drive circuit 20, and the corresponding MF multiplier signal or dial pulse signal is sent to the telephone lines LL and L2. It is done by putting out.

The LED 6, the beep generating circuit 24, the power amplifier 25, and the speaker 26 constitute automatic call notification means, and the CPU 27 also issues an automatic call notification command when issuing the dial command. There is. When this automatic call notification command is issued, the LED 6 is driven,
Also, a beeb generating circuit 24 generates a beeb signal, and a speaker 26 is driven via a power amplifier 25.

(step 2o1), and then inputs a response message to the other party from the microphone 18 through the preamplifier 13 to the voice synthesis section 32, and records it in the IC memory 17 (step 2o2).

This response message may be, for example, "Yes, this is ○○.

I'm really sorry, but I can't take my hands off you right now, so when you hear the beep, please tell me your name and what you need, and when you hear the beep again, please give me your phone number. ” The content should be something like this. Next, the CPU 27
A timer 28 is set for a predetermined time, for example, 5 minutes (step 203), and a bell signal standby state is established (step 204).

In FIG. 3, after the preset state is completed, the telephone is in a bell signal standby state (step 301), and when a bell signal is detected by the bell signal detection circuit 23 (step 302), the CPU 27 The relay 4 is switched via the relay controller 22 to automatically receive the call (step 303). When the call arrives, the prerecorded response message is read from the IC memory 17, played back, and sent to lines Ll and L2 (step 304).
. Then, the first beep sound is generated (step 305).
), prompting the other party's name and business (step 306), then generating the next beep sound (step 307) and prompting the other party to register the telephone number (308).

When the registration is completed, the communication is terminated and the line is disconnected (step 309), and the timer 28 is started (step 3).
10). After a preset time has elapsed, the timer 28 issues a time-up signal (step 311). Then,
First, the LED 6 is turned on to display that it is time for an automatic call (step 312). Then, the relay 4 captures the lines LL and L2 (step 313), and the speaker 26 generates a beep sound (step 314).
By setting the LED 6 to a blinking state (step 315), a notification that an automatic call will be made from now on is given. After that, it is determined which setting the selector switch 21 is set to (step 316), and as a result of that determination, if it is a dial pulse line, the registered telephone number is dialed by dial pulse (step 317), or if it is a PB line (i.e.,
If it is a MF line), the registered telephone number is dialed with MF double signal (step 318). When this is completed, the end of the automatic dialing operation is notified by driving the speaker 26 to generate a beep sound (step 319). The telephone user can hear the end of the dialing operation by hearing this tone.

When the dialing operation is completed, the telephone line Ll.

The line information signal from L2 is checked to determine whether the other party has received a call (step 320). As a result, if there is an incoming call, the automatic dialing operation will now end, and a busy tone will be returned and the caller is busy, or a dial tone will be heard more than a predetermined number of times and the other party is not available. If not, return to step 309, disconnect the line, and continue from step 309 to step 320 until the other party receives the call.
Repeat the process.
