Abstract

PURPOSE:To effectively use a voice storage area by stopping the recording when no recording is required in the case of no voice presence from an opposite party while the voice of the opposite party is recorded during talking. CONSTITUTION:When the recording start of a telephone set 9 is detected by a telephone set interface 5, a recording/reproduction interface 6 is started to start the recording. Thus, a voice data from a trunk line 8 is stored in a voice message memory 7. When the recording tentative stop of the telephone set 9 is detected via the telephone set interface 5, the recording/reproduction interface 6 is started to stop the recording. Moreover, when the recording end of the telephone set 9 is detected via the telephone set interface 5, the recording/ reproduction interface 6 is started to stop the recording and to control a switch network 3 thereby interrupting a channel between the trunk line 8 and the recording/reproduction interface 6 and confirming the voice data stored in the voice message memory 7 as one message.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a private branch exchange device having a function of recording the voice of the other party during a call and reproducing it on an extension telephone.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in this type of device, when recording during a call,
Recording was started by the recording start operation, and the recording device remained activated until the recording end operation was performed.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above-mentioned conventional technology, when recording is started during a call, the recording device is activated even when the other party is not actually speaking, resulting in an inefficient audio storage area. There was a problem.

Note that when the other party is not speaking, you can end the recording, but if you want to record the other party's voice a second time, it will become a separate voice message, making playback operations complicated. There was a point.

An object of the present invention is to provide a private branch exchange device that can efficiently utilize the storage area of a recording device.

[Means for Solving the Problems J] The present invention provides a private branch exchange device having a function of recording the voice of the other party during a call and playing it back on an extension telephone, and which enables a recording restart operation and a recording pause operation from the telephone during a call. The present invention is characterized by comprising a detection means for detecting and a control means for starting or stopping the recording device according to the detection result of the detection means.

[Function] In the present invention, by configuring the recording device to start or stop according to the operation from the telephone, the recording device can be started and recorded only while there is voice, and the storage area of the recording device can be saved. It can be used efficiently.

[Example] FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

This private branch exchange device l includes a control unit 2 that controls the entire device, a switch network 3 that connects communication paths between the central office line 8 and extensions 11, and between each extension 11, and detects incoming signals from the central office line 8. A line interface 4 that performs dial detection, a telephone interface 5 that performs dial detection from the telephone and receives calls to the telephone, a recording/playback interface 6 that controls voice recording and playback, and retains the recorded voice of the other party. voice message memory 7 and extension telephone 9
It has

Each extension telephone 9 is also provided with a key for starting recording and a key for ending recording, as well as a key for restarting recording and a key for temporarily stopping recording.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the control section 2 in this embodiment.

First, an incoming signal from the office line 8 is monitored via the line interface 4, and if there is an incoming call (si), the telephone interface 5 is activated in order to make a predetermined telephone 9 ring a ringtone (S2). The telephone 8 is monitored for off-hook (S3).

When off-hook of the telephone 9 is detected via the telephone interface 5, the line interface 4 is activated and the central office line 8 is connected.
The loop is closed, and the switch network 3 is controlled to connect the communication path between the office line 8 and the telephone set 9 to establish a communication state (34), and the end of the call is monitored (S5) and the recording start operation is monitored (S5). Repeat S6).

When on-hook of telephone 9 is detected, call termination processing (S
15) and the process ends.

Further, when a recording start operation of the telephone 9 is detected via the telephone interface 5, the communication path between the central office line 8 for recording and the recording/generation interface 6 is connected, the recording standby state is entered (S7), and the recording restart operation is performed. monitoring (3g), monitoring of recording pause operation (SLO), monitoring of recording end operation (SIO)
12) and end-of-call monitoring (S14) are repeated.

When a recording restart operation of the telephone 9 is detected via the telephone interface 5 (Sa), the recording/playback interface 6
and starts the recording operation (39), whereby the voice data from the central office line 8 is stored in the voice message memory 7.

When a recording pause operation of the telephone 9 is detected via the telephone interface 5 (s i o), the recording/generation interface 6 is activated to stop the recording operation (311
).

Furthermore, when detecting the recording end operation of the telephone 9 via the telephone interface 5 (S12), the recording/playback interface 6 is started to stop the recording operation, and the switch network 3 is controlled to start recording/playback from the central office line 8. The communication path with the interface 6 is disconnected and the voice data stored in the voice message memory 7 is confirmed as one voice message (
S13).

Furthermore, if the on-footer of the telephone 9 is detected (S1
4) Performs call termination processing (S15) and ends the processing.

In the above embodiment, when on-hook is detected in S14, the call termination process is performed, but the call termination process is performed after the voice data stored in the voice message memory 7 is confirmed as one message. You can do it like this.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, when recording the other party's voice during a call, it is possible to stop recording when recording is unnecessary, such as when the other party is not making a sound. This has the effect that the audio storage area can be used effectively.
