Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an operation flowchart of the embodiment.
Information for identifying a telephone service is recorded on the service recording magnetic card 10 and is inserted into the magnetic card reading unit 20 when a call is made. The telephone service identification information recorded on the service recording magnetic card 10 is read by the magnetic card reading unit 20 and sent to the service processing control unit 40. The service processing storage unit 30 in which a series of processing procedures for automatically starting a service without a caller's operation is stored corresponding to the service is also connected to the service processing control unit 40. Based on the telephone service identification information read by the magnetic card reading unit 20, the service processing control unit 40 that selects and activates the corresponding service processing procedure from the service processing storage unit 30 is also connected to the response voice generation unit 50, It is activated in order to respond to the caller side with a voice message that explains the service to the caller side and an explanation of the operation procedure performed by the caller. The response voice generation unit 50 is connected to the response information storage unit 60 and generates a voice message when activated by the service processing control unit 40.
The telephone function unit 7 includes a keypad information input unit 71, a PB signal generation unit 72, and a hook switch 73, and functions as a telephone under the control of the service processing control unit 40. In addition, the keypad information input unit 7
1 is connected to the service processing control unit 40 and is used as a notification means to the service processing control unit 40 in addition to the telephone function. The hook switch 73 is connected to the communication network via the subscriber line 701.

Regarding the operation of the magnetic card drive type service telephone having the above-mentioned configuration, Shin Comm.
n Carrier: hereinafter referred to as NCC) A card for driving an access to a telephone network will be described as an example. When the service recording magnetic card 10 storing the service identification information and access number for the access service to the NCC telephone network is inserted into the magnetic card reading unit 20, the magnetic card reading unit 20 is recorded on the card. The read information is read and notified to the service processing control unit 40. The service processing control unit 40 refers to the service processing storage unit 30, analyzes the NCC access service processing procedure indicated by the service identification information among a plurality of service processing, and executes the processing. The service processing procedure includes a method of processing information from the service recording magnetic card 10, a control procedure of the telephone function unit 7, a control procedure of the response voice generation unit 50, selection of response information in the response information storage unit 60, and a key. The processing method of pad input information is recorded. In the case of the NCC access service processing procedure, the service control processing unit 40 first activates the response voice generation unit 50 according to the service processing procedure,
The NCC access service processing response information in the response information storage unit 60 is converted into a voice message and generated for the caller. The caller is instructed by the voice message that the processing for the NCC access service will be activated and the method of inputting the destination number for which the call is desired, and the keypad information input unit 71 follows the procedure to input the destination number. input. If the voice message is different from the desired service (for example, the card is inserted incorrectly), the service is requested to be stopped by the keypad according to the description of the voice message. The information input from the keypad information input section 71 is
If the service activation suspension is requested, the service processing control unit 40 suspends the processing.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is an operation flowchart of the embodiment. A series of processing procedures for activating a telephone service are recorded in the service recording magnetic card 100, which is inserted into the magnetic card reading unit 20 when a call is made. The telephone service processing procedure recorded on the service recording magnetic card 100 is read by the magnetic card reading unit 20 and sent to the service processing control unit 40. It is activated in order to respond as a voice message the guidance of the service that operates based on the telephone service processing procedure read by the magnetic card reading unit 20 and the explanation of the operation procedure performed by the caller. The response voice generation unit 50 is the response information storage unit 60.
When the service processing control unit 40 is activated, a voice message is generated. The telephone function unit 7 includes a keypad information input unit 71, a PB signal generation unit 72, and a hook switch 73, and the service processing control unit 40.
It functions as a telephone under the control of. Also,
The keypad information input unit 71 is connected to the service processing control unit 40 and is used as a notification means to the service processing control unit 40 in addition to the telephone function. The hook switch 73 is connected to the communication network via the subscriber 701.

In the magnetic card drive type service telephone having such a structure, the magnetic card reading unit 20 has an N

With the explanation that the NCC access service processing is activated and the method of inputting the destination number for the call,
According to the procedure, the partner number is input from the keypad information input unit 71. If the voice message is different from the desired service, request the keypad to cancel the service as described in the voice message. If the information input from the keypad information input unit 71 indicates a service activation request, the hook switch 73 is controlled to send a calling signal, and then according to the destination number input by the caller using the keypad. The PB signal generator 72 is controlled to send out the PB signal. If the information input from the keypad information input unit 71 requests the suspension of the service activation, the service processing control unit 40 suspends the processing.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, the processing conventionally performed by the caller in accordance with the determined procedure can be performed.
There is an advantage that it can be automatically performed only by inserting a service recording magnetic card, and that different services can be easily used without complicated procedures simply by changing the card.

Further, by adopting the configuration in which the service processing procedure is input from the service recording magnetic card, there is an advantage that even when a new service is provided, it is not necessary to change the telephone body.
