DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the present invention. The partner telephone 1 is connected to the exchange 3 via a telephone line 2. Further, the Braille conversion processing unit 4 receives a character code from the exchange 3 via the telephone line 2 and outputs Braille data. The Braille conversion processing unit 4 includes a character code receiving unit 5 that receives the transmitted character code, a character code storage unit 6 that stores the character code received by the character code receiving unit 5, and a character code storage unit that stores the character code. Braille data generation unit 7 that generates Braille data from the character code stored in unit 6, Braille data storage unit 8 that stores the Braille data generated by Braille data generation unit 7, and the Braille data storage unit Braille data output means 9 for outputting the Braille data stored in 8 to an output device capable of stereoscopic recording.
Further, the Braille data output means 9 outputs the Braille data to the printer 11 and the facsimile 12 of the stereoscopic recordable output device 10.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flow charts of FIGS.

First, the character code receiving section 5 receives the character code from the exchange 3 via the telephone line 2 (S1). S
The character code received in 1 is stored in the character code storage unit 6 (S2). Next, it is determined whether or not the character code transmitted is still present (S3). If you still have
Repeat S1 to S3. When the transmitted character code is exhausted, the first two characters of the character code stored in the character code storage unit 6 are extracted (S4). It is checked whether or not the character code of the second character of the extracted character is Jingu (S5). If it is a syllabary, the syllabary braille data is stored in the braille data storage unit 8 (S6). Next, the Braille data is retrieved from the Japanese sound table (S7). S
If the second character is not a jumble in 5, the character code of the second character is stored in the character code storage unit 6 (S8). Next, the type of the extracted first character code is checked (S
9). According to the determined character code type, in the case of the voiced sound code, the semi-voiced sound code, and the numeric code, the voiced sound symbol Braille data, the semi-voiced sound Braille data, and the numeric symbol Braille data are stored in the Braille data storage unit 8 (S10). , S12, D1
4). Next, the Braille data is retrieved from any one of the voiced sound table, the semi-voiced sound table, the number table, and the ordinary character table according to the determined character code type. (S11, S13, S15, S16). The Braille data retrieved from the hiragana table, the voiced sound table, the semi-voiced sound table, the number table, and the ordinary character table is stored in the Braille data storage unit 8 (S17). Next, it is determined whether the character code stored in the character code storage unit 6 still exists (S18). If the character code stored in the character code storage unit 6 exists, S4 to S18
repeat. When there are no more character codes stored in the character code storage unit 6, the Braille data stored in the Braille data storage unit 8 can be stereoscopically recorded by the Braille data output unit 9, which is an output device 10, such as a printer. To the printing device 11 or the facsimile 12 (S1
9).

Next, a character string "as shown in FIG.
The operation of recording "As 10 Jinkai gi wo ko ni masashi basho ha 2 kai kai gi shitsu de des" will be described. When the call is received, the other party sends out a character code. Braille conversion unit 4
Then, the transmitted character code is received by the character code receiving unit 5. The received character code is stored in the character code storage unit. When all the character codes have been received, the Braille data generating unit 7 extracts the first two character codes'as' and checks the character type of the second character'su 'of'as'. Since the "su" is not a sound, it is returned to the character code storage unit 6. Next, the character type of "A" is checked. Since "A" is an ordinary character, the ordinary character table is referred to search the Braille data of the character of "A", and the retrieved Braille data is stored in the Braille data storage unit 8 Remember. Next two character codes'
Take out S1 and check the character type of the second character, "1", of "S1". Since "1" is not a jumble, it is returned to the character code storage unit 6. Next, check the type of letter "su". Since "su" is an ordinary character, the Braille data of the character "su" is searched by referring to the ordinary character table, and the retrieved braille data is stored in the braille data storage unit 8. Next 2
One character code "10" is taken out and the kind of the character "0", which is the second character of "10", is checked. Since "0" is not a sound, it is returned to the character code storage unit 6. Next, check the type of character "1". Since "1" is a numeral, the numeral symbol braille data is stored in the braille data storage unit. Furthermore, referring to the numerical table, search for the Braille data of the character "1",
The retrieved Braille data is stored in the Braille data storage unit 8. The process in the case where a whistling sound is generated by continuing the generation in this way will be described. When the two characters "SHO" are taken out, the second character "YO" of "SHO" is a syllabic sound, so the syllabary braille data is stored in the braille data storage unit. Furthermore, the Braille data is referred to by searching the Braille data of the character “SHO” with reference to the Japanese sound table.
Remember. In this way, when the braille data is generated from all the character codes and the character code is not stored in the character code storage unit 6, the Braille data stored in the Braille data storage unit 8 is output as Braille data. The means 9 outputs to a printer or a facsimile 12 which is a printing device 11 of the output device 10 capable of three-dimensional recording.
