BACKGROUND ART In conventional telephones, when making a call to the other party, the following measures are taken for ease of operation and for the purpose of avoiding erroneous dialing. That is, 1) it is equipped with an automatic dialing function, and 2) it dials while visually confirming the telephone number entered using the display attached to the telephone.

First, a telephone with an automatic dialing function using the method 1) will be briefly explained.

This type of technology includes, for example, writing dial data such as name, address, dial number, etc. in advance on a memory card inside a telephone, and a reading device that reads the dial data from the registered memory card, and a reading device that reads the dial data from the registered memory card. It is equipped with a memory for recording and a control unit that selects dial data from the memory based on a predetermined key code and selects a dial signal to the telephone line. This prevents direct incorrect dialing.

Also. 2) The method of dialing while visually confirming the telephone number to be input using the display attached to the telephone has been widely used in the past, as shown in the display 27 in FIG. Erroneous dialing is prevented by visually checking the phone number 25 (on the left), which was the previous phone number that was incorrectly dialed, and the phone number 26 (on the right) that is currently being input.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, even with the method described above, the possibility of incorrect dialing has not been completely eliminated. There are cases where the call is terminated and the person on the other end feels uncomfortable.

In addition, when contacting 1119 in the event of an emergency such as a fire outbreak,
For example, if there is a fire in one's home, there is a risk that the person's name, address, home and surrounding circumstances may be incorrectly communicated due to mental turmoil, and in this case, the dispatch of fire engines, etc. may be delayed and a major disaster may occur.

The present invention was devised in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a new telephone set that eliminates the above conventional problems.

Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the telephone of the present invention includes a voice storage memory for storing voice information, and a voice storage memory that processes the voice information stored in the voice storage memory to convert it into voice data. the above-mentioned data processing section; The audio information stored in the audio storage memory is configured to be communicated via a line network in accordance with the processing.

The data processing unit processes the data from the time counting unit, determines whether the communication time is within a predetermined time, and, depending on the determination result, selects the first data stored in the voice storage memory. Preferably, the voice information is communicated via the line network, and the first data processing section transmits the second voice information stored in the voice storage memory via the line network in response to the input of the operation key signal. It may also be configured to communicate.
