Abstract

PURPOSE:To set a response message in accordance with a caller number and to set whether or not the message should be recorded by comparing the caller number when an incoming call arrives with a number stored in advance, recording the message by sending a response recording message when coincidence is obtained, and sending a response only message when noncoincidence is obtained. CONSTITUTION:When the caller number is inputted, a caller comparison means 2 compares the caller number stored in advance with an inputted number. When the coincidence is obtained, coincidence output is issued to a response message sending circuit 8. The response message sending circuit 8 sends the message stored in a response recording message storage part 9. When the sending of the message is completed, the message from a line is stored in a message storage part 12 via a message recording circuit 11. When noncoincidence of the caller number is obtained at the comparison means 2, the message stored in a response only message storage part 10 is sent to the line.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic answering device connected to an ISDN line, which automatically answers an incoming call, sends a call setting message, and records the caller's business.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of automatic answering device is configured such that the user selects and sets in advance whether to answer only or to record messages, and automatically answers incoming calls according to the selection. .

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the conventional automatic response device described above, it is necessary to set in advance whether or not to record the message, and the message to be responded to depends on whether or not to record the message. There was a problem in that it was not possible to set a response message depending on the caller.

Also, when selecting whether or not to record a message depending on the caller, it is necessary to have the caller enter a specific command after the automatic answer, and the response message should also be a message prompting the caller to input the command. There was also the problem of not being able to do so.

The present invention solves these conventional problems,
It is an object of the present invention to provide an excellent automatic answering device that can set a response message according to the calling party's number and set whether or not to record the message.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a storage means for storing a specific calling number in advance, and a calling number stored in the storage means when an incoming call is received. A comparison means is provided to compare the calling party numbers, and when the calling party numbers match by the comparison means, a message is sent and the message is recorded, and when they do not match, a response-only message is sent and used. This is to prevent the incident from being recorded.

Effects The present invention has the following force effects due to the above-described configuration. In other words, in response to an incoming call, if the calling number matches the pre-stored calling number, a message prompting for recording is sent, and if it does not match, a response-only message is sent. You can choose whether to record it or use it for response calculations.

Embodiment FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is a line interface circuit,
Enter the calling party number when receiving a call through an ISDN line. The calling party storage means 3 stores a specific calling party number registered through the operation section 4. The caller comparison means 2 is
When a call is received, the number 6 stored in the caller storage means 3 and the caller number input from the line interface circuit 1 are compared. Reference numeral 5 denotes an inter-line connection circuit, and when the circuit is closed, a D/A conversion circuit 6 converts the digital signal from the line into an analog signal and sends it out from the receiver 13.

The multiple analog signals inputted through the microphone 14 are converted into sidigital signals by the A/D conversion circuit 7 and sent to the ISDN line. The response message sending circuit 8 selects messages from the response recorded message storage section 9 and the response-only message storage section 8 based on the output of the caller comparison means 2, and sends them to the line. The message recording circuit 11 stores message information from the line as a digital signal in the message storage section 12.

Next, the operation of the configuration shown in FIG. 1 will be explained in conjunction with FIG. 2. When there is an incoming call, the line interface circuit l controls the incoming call interface (step 15) and inputs the calling party's number (step 16). After entering your calling number,
The caller comparison means 2 compares the input number with the caller number pre-stored in the caller storage means 3 (Step 17), and if they match, closes the line-to-line closing circuit 5 (Step 18). At the same time, the matching output is output to the response message sending circuit 8, and the response message sending circuit 8 sends out the message stored in the response recorded message storage section 9 (step 19). When S sends out the message, the comparison means 2 outputs it to the message recording circuit 11, and the message from the line is stored in the message storage section 12 through the message recording circuit 11 (step 20).

If the calling party numbers do not match in the comparing means 2 (step 17), the inter-line closing circuit 5 is closed (step 22),
Then, it is output to the response message sending circuit 8, and the message stored in the response-only message storage section 10 is sent to the line (step 23).

When the comparing means 2 completes the number comparison, it outputs it to the response message sending circuit 8, and at the same time outputs it to the line-to-line closing circuit 5 to close the line (step 18.22). When you enter the end-of-talk information,
The line is opened (step 24).

When a call is received in this way, the caller number from the line is compared with the number stored in the storage means 3, a response message is selected depending on whether the call was received or not, and a selection is made as to whether or not to record the message. Therefore, it has the advantage that only messages from necessary callers can be effectively recorded.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above-mentioned embodiment x, the present invention compares the calling number at the time of incoming call with a pre-stored number, and when they match, sends out a recorded response message and records the business, It sends out a message exclusively for response when there is a disagreement, and has the advantage of being able to record the message depending on the caller.

Furthermore, since only important messages from callers can be recorded, the message storage section can be used effectively.
