It was designed to do so.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 shows the appearance of the telephone 1. As shown in FIG. This telephone 1 includes a key input section (telephone number input means) 2 for inputting a telephone number, etc., and a handset/receiver (transmission/reception means) 3 for outputting voice.
, a display section 4 that can display a plurality of names and telephone numbers in correspondence. The handset/receiver 3 has a transmitting section 3a constituted by a speaker for outputting voice, and a speaking section 3b constituted by a microphone, microphone, etc. for inputting voice. The display section 4 is comprised of a liquid crystal display section capable of displaying 10 lines of names and telephone numbers.

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram showing the internal configuration of the telephone 1. As shown in FIG. That is, the key manual unit 2, the handset 3,
A display section 4, a control section 11 that controls the entire system, a telephone number storage memory 12 constituted by a table that stores, for example, 10 names and telephone numbers, and voice supplied from the speech section 3b in the handset 3. Speech recognition unit that recognizes 3
, a calling unit 14 that performs a calling operation to send a telephone number input manually by the key input unit 2 or a telephone number selected and read from the telephone number storage memory 12 to the telephone line 20;
and a hook switch 15 that detects the on-hook state and off-hook state of the handset 3.

The control section 11 controls the utterance section when a voice is generated from the utterance section 3b in the handset 3 after the hook switch 15 turns off the hook and before the key of the key input section 2 is turned on. The name is determined from the voice as a recognition result supplied from the voice recognition unit 13 in response to the voice from 3h, and the name and telephone number corresponding to this name are read out and searched from the telephone number storage memory 2). , is stored in an internal memory (not shown) and displayed on the display unit 4, and when one of the displayed telephone numbers is selected by the key operator unit 2,
The telephone number is output to the calling section 14.

In addition, the above control unit] 1 has special number keys (e.g. # key and 0
When a key combination (key combination) is input, it is interpreted as displaying all data, and all data (10 items) from the telephone number storage memory 12 is read out and stored in an internal memory (not shown).
to display it.

Furthermore, when the recognition result supplied from the voice recognition section 13 is not stored in the telephone number storage memory 12, the control section 11 causes the display section 4 to display that there is no matching result.

Furthermore, when the voice recognition unit 13 cannot correctly recognize the voice, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 4 to display that recognition is not possible.

Furthermore, registration of a name and telephone number in the telephone number storage memory 12 will be explained. The registration mode is entered by pressing a combination of predetermined number buttons in the keypad 2 or by pressing a specially provided voice registration button. In the registration mode, for example, the other party's name "Akiko Sato" is uttered into the utterance part 3b of the handset 3, and then the telephone number [0
Registration is completed by inputting 3-453-8829J from the key personnel section 2. Then, the voice data generated by the utterance section 3b is outputted to the voice recognition section 13 via the control section 11. The recognition result of the voice recognition section 13 is output to the control section 11. As a result, the control unit 11 receives the recognition result from the voice recognition unit 13 and the telephone number from the key human power unit 2, that is, [Akiko Sato 03-453-88
29J is stored in the telephone number storage memory 12.

Next, the operation in such a configuration will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. For example, when the handset 3 is picked up, the hook switch 15 is turned off. Here, when the telephone number of the other party is input by the key input unit 2, the calling unit 14 sends the input telephone number to the telephone line 20 as a dial signal. Then, in an exchange (not shown), a connection is made to the other party's telephone based on the dial signal. After connection, the other party (called party) picks up the handset and can begin talking.

In addition, instead of manually inputting the telephone number of the other party using the key input section 2, by generating a voice registered in advance for each destination, a plurality of telephone numbers corresponding to the voice are displayed on the display section 4. Selecting one of the displayed telephone numbers will automatically place a call to the selected telephone number.

That is, when the voice corresponding to a predetermined name is input to the speech section 3b of the handset 3, the speech section 3b converts the human-powered voice into an electrical signal, and sends it to the speech recognition section 1 via the control section 11.
Output to 3. The speech recognition section 13 recognizes each word of the speech supplied from the control section 11 and outputs the recognition result to the control section 11 . The control section 11 determines the name based on the recognition result supplied from the voice recognition section 13, reads out the name and telephone number corresponding to this name from the telephone number storage memory 12, and displays them on the display section 4. When one of the telephone numbers displayed on the display section 4 is selected by the key operator 2, the control section 11 outputs the telephone number to the calling section 14.

Thereby, the calling unit 14 sends the input telephone number to the telephone line 20 as a dial signal. Then,
An exchange (not shown) connects to the other party's telephone based on the dial signal. Once connected, the other party can pick up the handset and start talking.

For example, when the recognition result supplied from the speech recognition unit 13 is "Sato", the control unit 11 selects from the telephone number storage memory 12 [Akiko Sato 03-453-8829J, [Akiko Sato 045-343-8955J, [Satoko Susuki 06-387] -5528J, “Satomichan 044
-337-8129J is read out and displayed on the display unit 4 as shown in FIG. Corresponding to this display, if "1" is input by the key human power section 2, "03-453-
8829J is selected, and the control section 11 outputs the telephone number to the calling section 14.

Also, sound 7′! 1. When the recognition result supplied from the recognition unit 13 is “come”, the control unit 11 sends the phone number storage memory 12
From “Tamiko Iwasaki 044-672-0015J,
