Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a terminal equipment having a response message transmitting function by transmitting a voice message stored in a memory through a Network-Control Unit(NCU) at the time of an incoming call. CONSTITUTION:A control part 5 which receives an incoming signal reads the first voice message 7a stored in a memory 7, and transmits a waiting message through the NCU. Then, a telephone or a facsimile is identified by an automatic identifying part 1, and communication is operated. On the other hand, after the lapse of a preliminarily set time, the presence or absence of a priority mode is checked, and when the off-hook of a telephone set 4 is not detected, a voice message 7b stored in the memory 7 is read, and a later time re- transmission request message is transmitted. Thus, a call side can be prevented from erroneously hanging up, and the communication can be exactly attained by the composite terminal equipment having the response message transmitting function.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a composite terminal device having a facsimile communication function, a data communication function and a telephone function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a conventional composite terminal device. When an incoming signal from a public line is received, the automatic identification section 1 determines whether the CNG signal of a facsimile complying with the recommendation of CCITT ... T30. , And if it is a CNG signal, the facsimile 2 automatically performs the receiving process. If the incoming signal is not a CNG signal, it is checked whether or not it is a CD signal sent prior to data communication, and if it is a CD signal, the data processing unit 3 automatically performs reception processing. When the incoming signal is not the CD signal, it is determined that the telephone has been received after the preset time has elapsed, and the telephone 4 automatically performs the receiving process.

[0003]

However, in the prior art shown in FIG. 3, a certain period of time is required for the automatic identification processing of the incoming signal. Therefore, in the case of a telephone, a certain period of time is required after receiving a call. There was no response, and there was a problem that the person who made the call hung up. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to send a voice message immediately after an incoming call, and after a predetermined time, send a voice message again to enable reliable communication. It is to provide a composite terminal device.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the compound terminal device of the present invention is capable of facsimile communication, data communication, and telephone, and is capable of automatically identifying these communication. In the device, the first
And the second voice message is transmitted after the automatic identification is completed.

[0005]

According to the above construction, when the incoming signal is received, the control unit sends the first voice message stored in the memory to the other party to urge the other party to stand by and perform the automatic identification processing of the incoming signal. Later, since the incoming call control is performed so as to send the second voice message stored in the memory, the other party of the telephone can clearly confirm the connection and wait.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The same parts as those of the conventional example are designated by the same reference numerals,
The description is omitted. In the figure, 5 is a control unit composed of a microcomputer for controlling the apparatus of the present invention, 6 is a key input section for an operator to give instructions to the apparatus, and 7 is a memory (RAM) for storing data. The first message 7a and the second message 7b are stored in the memory 7.
And are stored. As an example of the voice message to be stored, the first voice message 7a is "I am calling now, please wait for a while. If you are a fax, please press the start button." And the second voice message 7b is "Call. I'm sorry, but it's not nearby. Please try again later. "

Next, the actual processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the incoming signal is received, the control unit 5 stores the first voice message 7a stored in the memory 7 "I am calling now. Please wait for a while.
If you are faxing, please press the start button. Is read out and sent to the other party via an NCU (not shown) (step S20). Therefore, when the other party is a telephone, the first voice message 7a is heard and the person stands by with peace of mind, and when the other party is the manual mode FAX, the start button can be depressed with peace of mind. Then, the pseudo ringer (high-pitched buzzer) is sounded (step S21), and the automatic identification unit 1 starts the automatic identification processing of the incoming signal.

In the automatic identification processing, it is checked whether or not the incoming signal is the information service communication, and in the case of the information service communication, the data processing unit 3 automatically performs the receiving processing (step S2).
2, S22a). If it is not the information service communication, it is checked whether the handset of the telephone 4 has been picked up. If the handset is picked up and the incoming call is a telephone, the telephone 4 can directly make a call (steps S23 and S23a). If the handset is not picked up, it is checked whether or not it is a CNG signal for facsimile, and if it is a CNG signal, facsimile reception is automatically performed (step S24).

Next, when a preset time has elapsed (step S25), it is checked whether or not the mode is the priority mode (step S26). If the handset is not picked up, the control unit 5 causes the memory to be stored. The second voice message 7b stored in No. 7, "I called, but I am not near. Please try again later." Is sent to the line via the NCU. (Step S27).

[0010]

As described above, since the composite terminal device of the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible for the calling party to make a mistake and not to hang up, and to make reliable communication. become. In addition, it has excellent features such as easy implementation because of its simple structure.
