The system control circuit 21 is connected to memories 42 and 43 for cola ID. in this case,
The memory 42 stores a cola I when an incoming call is received.
It is for recording D together with its reception frequency (number of incoming calls). Further, the memory 43 is used by the user of this telephone to previously register the cola ID (telephone number of the other party) of the other party who accepts the incoming call.

Further, the system control circuit 21 includes a cola ID signal discrimination circuit 4 constituted by software.
4 are provided. The discrimination circuit 44 compares the cola ID signal received and decoded by the detection circuit 41 with the cola ID signal recorded in the memory 43, and outputs the result.

When there is an incoming call, the routine 100-
According to 130, the following processing is executed.

[When the OGM is changed by the other party of the telephone] When there is an incoming call, the ringer signal is detected by the detection circuit 17, and this is notified to the system control circuit 21. Then, in the system control circuit 21, the processing of the CPU for the routine 100 starts, and step 1
At 01, cola ID information is received.

Next, at step 102, it is judged whether or not the received cola ID matches any of the cola IDs registered in the memory 43. The step 102 corresponds to the discrimination circuit 44.

Then, the received cola ID is stored in the memory 4
If it does not match any of the cola IDs registered in No. 3, the process proceeds from step 102 to step 103. In this step 103, the command is supplied to the recording / reproducing circuit 31, and the first OGM, for example, "Yes. ,
It is ○○. I'm away now. If you have any questions, please give a message after the dial tone. OG
The audio signal of M is reproduced, and this audio signal is sent to the line LN through the above audio signal line. And OG
When the sending of M is finished, the routine 100 is finished, and thereafter, the recording of ICM is performed.

In step 102, the received cola ID is the cola ID registered in the memory 43.
If any of the above is matched, the processing is step 102.
From step 104, the reception frequency of the received cola ID is updated among the reception frequencies of the cola IDs recorded in the memory 42.

Then, in step 105, it is judged whether or not the reception frequency of the received cola ID is more than a predetermined number, and if it is less, the process proceeds from step 105 to step 107, and in this step 107,
The command is supplied to the recording / playback circuit 31, and the second OG
M, for example, OGM's voice signal "Yes, I am ○○. I am traveling until XX days. If you have any questions, please give a message after the dial tone." Dispatched to LN. Then, thereafter, this routine 100 is ended, and thereafter, the recording of the ICM is performed.

When the reception frequency is high in step 105, the processing from step 105 to step 1
In step 106, a command is supplied to the recording / reproducing circuit 31, and the third OGM, for example,
OGM's audio signal "Yes, it is ○○. I am traveling to △△ until xx days. If you are in a hurry, please call back to ◇◇◇◇-□□□□." This voice signal is sent to the line LN. Then, thereafter, this routine 100 ends.

Thus, in this routine 100, the OGM can be changed depending on whether or not the received caller ID is a call from the other party registered in the memory 43. Further, even if the call is from a registered party, the OGM can be switched according to the reception frequency recorded in the memory 42.

Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish between a person such as a telephone sales person and a person who is close to him or to respond to a person who has called many times due to an urgent need with a proper OGM. You can

1 will be notified. Then, in the system control circuit 21, the processing of the CPU for the routine 110 starts, the cola ID information is received in step 111, and then the received cola ID is received in step 112.
Is matched with any of the cola IDs registered in the memory 43.

Then, the received cola ID is stored in the memory 4
If any of the cola IDs registered in No. 3 matches, the process proceeds from step 112 to step 113,
In this step 113, a waiting time of a period T1, for example, 6 calls is performed.

While waiting for the time of these 6 calls,
If the user of this telephone goes off-hook (answers an incoming call), then the telephone becomes ready to talk to the other party like an ordinary telephone. However, if six calls do not go off-hook, the process proceeds to step 115. In step 115, a command is supplied to the recording / reproducing circuit 31 to reproduce the OGM audio signal, and the audio signal is sent to the line LN through the audio signal line.
Then, when the transmission of the OGM is completed, the routine 100 is completed, and thereafter, the recording of the ICM is performed.

In step 112, the received cola ID is the cola ID registered in the memory 43.
If any of the above does not match, the process proceeds from step 112 to step 114, and in this step 114, a time period of T2 (T2 <T1), for example, three calls is waited.

While waiting for the time of these three calls,
If the user of this phone goes off-hook, it becomes possible to talk to the other party like a normal phone.
When the call is not made off-hook after three calls, the process proceeds to step 115.

Therefore, in the case of the person whose cola ID (telephone number) is registered in the memory 43, the time until the reproduction of the OGM is started is as long as 6 calls, so the telephone is set to the answering machine mode at home. Even if you are doing so, you can answer the phone with sufficient time.

Further, in the case of a partner whose cola ID is not registered in the memory 43, the time until the reproduction of the OGM is started is as short as 3 calls, so that the partner immediately receives the ICM.
Can be recorded.

[When the response is changed by the other party of the telephone]
When there is an incoming call, the ringer signal is detected by the detection circuit 17, and this is notified to the system control circuit 21.
Then, in the system control circuit 21, the routine 12
The processing of the CPU for 0 starts, and step 121
At, the cola ID information is received, then step 1
At 22, it is determined whether the received cola ID matches any of the cola IDs registered in the memory 43.

Then, the received cola ID is stored in the memory 4
If none of the cola IDs registered in No. 3 matches, the process proceeds from step 122 to step 123,
In this step 123, a command is supplied to the recording / reproducing circuit 31 to reproduce the OGM audio signal, this audio signal is sent to the line LN through the above audio signal line, and when the OGM sending is completed, the routine 100 is ended. To do.

In step 122, the received cola ID is the cola ID registered in the memory 43.
If it matches any of the above, the routine 120
To end. Therefore, the ringer sound continues to be emitted from the speaker 34 until the user of this telephone turns off.

Therefore, in the case of the other party whose cola ID (telephone number) is registered in the memory 43, even if the caller answering mode is set, this answering machine mode will be canceled, and the telephone will be set at home. Even if you have set the answering machine, you can answer the call with plenty of time. Further, in the case of a partner whose cola ID is not registered in the memory 43, the OGM responds.

[Changing OGM depending on the other party of the telephone] In this case, in the memory 32, for each telephone number (caller ID) of the other party received, or for each group when the other party's telephone numbers are grouped, OG respectively
M is prepared.

When there is an incoming call, the ringer signal is detected by the detection circuit 17 and the system control circuit 21 is notified of this. Then, in the system control circuit 21, the CPU processing for the routine 130 is started, the cola ID information is received in step 131, and then the cola I received in step 132 is received.
It is determined whether D matches any of the cola IDs registered in the memory 43.

Then, the received cola ID is stored in the memory 4
3 does not match any of the cola IDs registered in step 3, the process proceeds from step 132 to step 134. In step 134, the command is supplied to the recording / playback circuit 31, and a general OGM, for example, “Yes” is given. , ○○. I am out of the office right now. If you are in need, please give a message after the dial tone. "The OGM voice signal is reproduced, and this OGM voice signal is connected through the above voice signal line. Sent to LN.
Then, when the transmission of the OGM is finished, the routine 130 is finished, and thereafter, the recording of the ICM is performed.

However, in step 132, the received cola ID is the cola I registered in the memory 43.
If any of D matches, the process proceeds to step 13.
From 2 to step 133, in step 133, when the command is supplied to the recording / reproducing circuit 31 and the OGM corresponding to the telephone number of the other party received or the telephone number of the other party is grouped, the group is dealt with. OGM is played.

Then, the reproduced OGM audio signal is sent to the line LN, after which the routine 130 is terminated, and thereafter, the ICM is recorded.

Therefore, according to this example, it is possible to cope with the problem depending on the other party of the telephone.

[Others] In the above description, the received cola ID is compared with the cola ID registered in the memory 43, and the OGM or response mode is changed according to the comparison result. However, if it matches any of the registered cola IDs, the ICM is automatically transferred to the preset telephone number,
If they do not match, the transfer may not be performed and the automatic transfer mode may be changed.

When the cola ID is registered, the number of the mail box (ICM writing area for the memory 32) corresponding to the cola ID is also registered, and the received cola ID is registered. When any of the above is matched, the ICM can be recorded separately in the mailbox having the number corresponding to the cola ID.

Furthermore, the routines 100 to 130 can be used in combination. Further, the ICM can also select whether or not to record, depending on whether or not the caller ID of the other party is registered in the memory 43.

[Summary] According to the above-mentioned telephone, when the call is received, the received cola ID is compared with the cola ID registered in the telephone, so that the OGM is changed according to the other party of the telephone. It is possible to send an appropriate OGM according to the other party. Alternatively, the transmission of OGM can be turned on and off.

Further, the time until the OGM is reproduced can be changed according to the other party of the telephone. Further, it is possible to control whether or not the ICM is transferred depending on the other party of the call. Also, the mailbox can be automatically switched according to the other party of the call, and the management thereof becomes easy.
