Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the need for utterance of a voice to inform a message by storing a digital voice signal to a prescribed storage area of an IC memory and outputting a voice signal of a prescribed storage area by a control signal. CONSTITUTION:Plural messages are converted into a digital voice signal by an A/D conversion means 4 and stored in a prescribed storage area of an IC memory 6. When the user sends a message, at first a telephone call is given to the telephone system, and when the opposite party hooks off a receiver 9 to reply the call and the speech state is reached, any pushbutton corresponding to each storage area of the IC memory 6, that is, corresponding to each message is depressed. A remote control signal detection means 8 receives the signal as a remote control signal in the telephone system, a function control means 2 controls the IC memory 6 to output a digital voice signal stored in the corresponding storage area, a D/A conversion means 5 converts the signal into an analog voice signal, which is outputted to the receiver 9. As a result, the user can send a message required for the called party without uttering any voice.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a telephone device that is equipped with an IC memory that stores voice signals and that can reproduce the voice signals stored in this memory as needed. be.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when sending a message to someone over the phone from outside, for example, one would make the call from the outside phone and, when the other party answered, speak through the handset, thereby conveying the necessary message.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Therefore, if a telephone is installed outside the office, for example in a meeting room, talking through the handset may interfere with the meeting, and in some cases, private conversations may be revealed to the people around you. It will end up being put away.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate these drawbacks and to provide a telephone that allows you to send messages without confusing people around you or exposing your private conversations to others. The goal is to provide equipment.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention provides a telephone device equipped with an IC memory for storing voice signals, which includes: A/D conversion means for converting an analog voice signal from a voice input means into a digital voice signal;
The digital audio signal from the A/D conversion means is
a first control means for storing in a predetermined storage area of C memory; a signal detection means for detecting and outputting a control signal sent through a line; and a first control means for detecting and outputting a control signal sent through a line; a second control means for controlling an IC memory and outputting the digital audio signal stored in the predetermined area 1 and α; converting the digital audio signal read from the IC memory into an analog audio signal; D/ to be converted to and output to the handset.
A conversion means is provided.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of a telephone device according to the present invention. In the figure, the IC memory 6 has a plurality of recording areas as shown in FIG. "I'm going home", "I won't be late for my meeting", etc. are stored as digital audio signals.

The A/D conversion means 4 converts an analog audio signal from the microphone 3 or the line 7, which is an audio input means, into a digital audio signal and outputs it to the IC memory 6. On the other hand, the D/A conversion means 5 converts the digital audio signal output from the IC memory 6 into an analog audio signal and outputs it to the receiver 9 and the concave line 7.

The remote control signal detection means 8 detects a predetermined control signal input from the line 7, that is, a remote control signal, and outputs it to the function control means 2.

The function control means 2 has the functions of first and second control means, and when operating as the first control means, controls the IC memory 6 when the recording key of the key power section 1 is pressed by the user. , the digital audio signal from the A/D conversion means 4 is stored.

Further, when operating as a second control means, the IC memory 6 is controlled based on the remote control signal from the remote control signal detection means 8, and the digital audio signal stored in a predetermined area of the IC memory is outputted.

Next, the operation will be explained. The user first enters and records a number of frequently used messages into this telephone device in advance. That is, press the recording key of key human power section I,
The function control means 2 is instructed to record the message. As a result, the function control means operates as the first control means, and the IC
Controls memory 6. Here, when the user issues a message into the microphone 3, the microphone 3 converts this voice into an electrical signal, and the A/D conversion means 4 further converts this analog voice signal into a digital voice signal. Output. I
The C memory 6 stores each message (a) input from the microphone 3.
>, (b), (c) When the digital audio signals are received, they are stored in a predetermined storage area for each message as shown in FIG.

Next, when the user wants to send a message from outside, for example, he or she first calls this telephone device, and when the other party picks up the handset 9 and answers, and the call is established, one of the three types of messages mentioned above is sent. , by pressing one of the button buttons "1", "2", and "3" corresponding to each storage area of the IC memory 6, that is, each message.

In the telephone device, the remote control signal detection means 8 receives and receives this button signal as a remote control signal, for example, "l".
”, it outputs it to the function control means 2. Thereby, the function control means 2 operates as a second control means, controls the IC memory 6, and outputs the signal "1".
A digital audio signal of the message ``I'm going to be late for a meeting today'' stored in the storage area corresponding to the message is output. The D/A conversion means 5 converts this digital audio signal into an analog audio signal and outputs it to the receiver 9.

As a result, the person answering the telephone device can hear the message from the handset. In other words, a user who makes a call from outside can convey the necessary message to the answerer without making any sound.

Furthermore, since the D/A conversion means 5 also outputs an analog audio signal to the line 7, a caller who is away from home can also open a message through the handset of the telephone from which the call was made, and check whether the specified message is being played correctly or not. I can confirm 41 things.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention provides an IC for storing audio signals.
In a telephone device equipped with a memory, an A/
D conversion means, first control means for storing the digital audio signal from the A/D conversion means in a predetermined storage area of the IC memory by a predetermined operation, and detecting a control signal sent through the line. a signal detecting means for outputting; a second controlling means for controlling the IC memory based on the control signal outputted by the signal detecting means to output a digital audio signal stored in a predetermined storage area; The receiver includes D/A converting means for converting the output digital audio signal into an analog audio signal and outputting it to the receiver.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a telephone device that can convey messages without bothering people around you and without having your private conversations overheard by others. This phone! By using the A position, even if a telephone to make a call is installed in a conference room, for example, the user does not need to make any sound to convey the message, making it easy for people around to make a call. There is no need to cause any inconvenience, and no one else will be able to hear the contents of your message.
