Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the convenience by devising the telephone system such that the same message is sent to all extension telephone sets by having only to record the message once. CONSTITUTION:A home telephone system 1 having an automatic dial function consists of a channel switching section 6 to apply switching connection of plural extension lines 3-5 to a general telephone line 2 being an external line, a handset section 7 as a talking section connecting to the channel switching section 6, a dial section 8 designating the external line 1 or the extension lines 3-5 and a message recording and reproducing section 9. Thus, a same message is sent to an opposite party of all extension telephone sets 11-13 by recording a message desired to be sent to the message recording and reproducing section 9 at once. Thus, the telephone call to each of the extension telephone sets is not required, the time is saved and the operation is simplified.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a home telephone device having an auto-dial function and selectively connecting a plurality of extension telephones to a telephone line.

[Prior Art] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the system configuration of a conventional home telephone device.
1) is a call path switching unit (6) for switching and connecting the V7i number of extensions (3), (4), and (5) to the general telephone line (2) as an outside line, and this call path switching unit (6).
), and a dial section (8) for specifying an outside line (1) or extensions (3) to (5). (11) - (13)
) is an extension telephone connected to extensions (3) to (5).

Next, the operation will be explained. From the home telephone (1) to the extension telephones (11) to (1) via extensions (3) to (5),
If you want to call 3), usually each extension telephone (11)
- Dial the number corresponding to (13) using the dial part (8). For example, if you want to call the extension phone (11),
Pick up the handset/receiver section (7) and press dial [1] on the dial section (8) to call the extension telephone (11).
If you answer, you can make a call.

If you want to send the same message to all telephone extensions (11) to (13), first press dial [1] and call the telephone extension (11) according to the above procedure. Send a message to the person on the extension phone. Next, press the dial [2] in the same way as above, call the extension telephone (12) and send a message to the other party, then call the extension telephone (13) and send the message to the other party. The action is similar to conveying something.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Conventional home telephone devices are configured as described above, so if you want to send the same message to all internal i-telephones, you must make a call to each extension phone, which is very time-consuming and requires a lot of effort. is troublesome. Also,
There were problems such as having to speak the same message over and over again.

This invention was made with the aim of solving the above-mentioned problems.
To provide a home telephone device capable of sending the same message to all extension telephone parties by simple operation.

[Means for Solving the Problems] A home telephone device according to the present invention is provided with a message recording and reproducing section for recording and reproducing a message to be sent.

[Function] The home telephone device according to the present invention can transmit the same message to all extension telephones with a simple operation by once recording the message that the user wants to transmit on the message recording and reproducing section.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1st
In the figure, a home telephone device (1) has a general telephone line (2) as an outside line and multiple extension lines (3), (4),
(5) A communication path switching unit (6) for switching and connecting
), a transmitting/receiving unit (7) as a communication unit connected to this communication path switching unit (6), and an external line (1) or an extension line (3).
) to (5), and a message recording/reproducing section (9).

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. The operation of making a call from the home telephone device (1) to one extension telephone is the same as that of the conventional device, so a redundant explanation will be omitted.

Next, send the same message to all telephone extensions (11) to (1).
3) will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, record the message you want to send into the message recording/playback section (9).

Then, pick up the handset/receiver section (7) and connect all extension telephones (
For example, set the command to be transferred to (11) to (13) as dial [9], and after pressing this dial [9],
When the transmitting/receiving unit (7) is placed, the telephone 11 automatically dials the telephone extension (11) in order, and first calls the telephone extension (11) (step STI, 5T2).

Next, it is determined whether a response has been received or not (step 5T3),
After answering, the recorded message is played back and sent to the extension telephone (11) (step 5T4), the call is hung up in one direction (step 5T5), and the next extension telephone (12) is called (step 576).

Then, it is determined whether or not the called extension telephone is the last one (step 5T7), and if it is not the last one, the above-mentioned step ST
Return to step 2 and call tIj! The telephone (12) is automatically dialed, and when this extension telephone (12) answers, the recorded message is played back and sent to the extension telephone (12) in the same manner as above.

After that, by the same operation, all extension telephones (11)
The same message is sent to (13).

If there is no response as determined in step ST3 above, it is determined whether the other party is busy or not (Step 5T8). If the other party is busy, the call is made to all extensions and then the call is made to the busy extension again. Make a phone call (step 5T9).

Further, if the caller does not answer even though the caller is not busy as determined in step ST8, all extension telephones are called and then redialed up to 0 times (step 5T10).

By adding such an operation sequence of steps ST8 to ST5TIO, messages can be accurately transmitted to each of a plurality of extension telephones.

In the above embodiment, the message recording section (9) is provided inside the home telephone device, but this message recording/playing section (9) is provided outside the device, and this external message recording/playing section (9) is If it is possible to control playback and rewinding, the same effects as in the above embodiment can be achieved.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the same message can be sent to all telephone extensions by just recording the message once. There is no need to call each extension phone. Therefore, the more extension telephones there are, the more convenient it will be because you will not have to make your own calls.
