The telephone device 5 receives the caller telephone number from the exchange in the above sequence by the caller telephone number detecting means 2.
In the operation after receiving the caller telephone number,
As shown in the operation flow of FIGS. 0 to 15, the control device 5 determines whether or not the caller telephone number has been received (step 1). First, if you can receive the caller phone number,
The control device 5 detects the current time (caller telephone number reception time) from the clock processing means 6. The control device 5 transmits the caller telephone number detecting means 2 via the database processing means 12.
Using the caller telephone number detected from the keyword as a keyword, the caller telephone number database storage means 11 is searched for data (registered telephone number among them) stored in advance (step 2), and the caller telephone number matches the registered telephone number. If so, information about the caller name, caller individual data, callee as control data, answer level, answering mode, and calling mode is obtained (step 3).

If it is possible to retrieve, the telephone number detected by the sender telephone number detecting means 2, the control data (sender name, called party) retrieved by the database processing means 12, and the sender telephone detected by the clock processing means 6 are displayed. Data such as the number detection time and the number of receptions from the same telephone number is stored in the history data storage means 13 for each called party, time series or each calling party via the history data processing means 14 (step 4).

Then, a process is selected according to the control data (response level) obtained from the database processing means 12 (step 5). As shown in FIG. 7, the processing of the reception level has seven stages A to G, and the processing proceeds to the processing corresponding to the reception level (steps 6 to 11). The processing of the response levels A to F is performed according to the operation flow shown in FIGS.

On the other hand, if the call cannot be retrieved in step 3, that is, if the telephone number is not registered, the display of the caller telephone number detected by the caller telephone number detecting means 2 and this number are not registered. This is displayed on the display means 8 (step 12). Then, the control device 5 goes to see the contents of the register in which the response level for the unregistered person is stored.
Only the reception level D or G is selected as the processing of the reception level of the unregistered person (step 13). Then, the process proceeds to the process corresponding to the response level D or G (step 1).
4).

When the caller telephone number is not received in step 1, the display means 8 displays that the caller telephone number has not been received (step 15). Then, the control device 5
Goes to see the contents of the register that stores the response level for unregistered people. Only the handling level D or G is selected in the same way as the processing of the handling level of unregistered persons (step 1
3) Proceed to the processing corresponding to the level (step 14).

(Response Level A) FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the operation of the response level A. In this mode, the caller telephone number, caller name, caller individual data, etc. are displayed on the display means 8 (step 101).

Further, in the absence mode A, a secret message recording process is performed (step 42).
3) Further, in the absence mode B, normal absence recording processing is performed (step 424). In this case, the control device 5 instructs the recorded message processing means 20 to perform the secret recorded message processing when the recorded message is in the recorded message mode A, and performs the normal recorded message processing when the recorded message is in the recorded message mode B.

The message of the caller is stored in the message storing common recording means 21 via the line control means 3. After the end of the message or after a designated time, the line control means 3 opens the line 1 (step 425). The control device 5 transfers the message from the message storage / common recording means 21, which is a common area, to the answering machine message storage means 23 for each called party, in chronological order or for each calling party, by the answering machine message processing means 22 for storage processing. (Step 426),
The standby state is entered (412). In the absence mode C, the answer mode processing means 20 is instructed to process only the response message (step 427), the line control means 3 releases the line (step 428), and the standby state is entered (step 4).
12).

(Response Level E) A flowchart showing the operation of the response level E is shown in FIG. This mode is a call back mode and does not ring. However, the display means 8 indicates that the callback mode is currently in operation (step 501). The line is not connected even if you go off-hook while this message is displayed. Then, the control device 5 instructs the history data processing means 14 to register the caller telephone number in the callee telephone number area as a callback telephone number, and registers it in the history data storage means 13 (step 502). After registration, the mobile phone enters a standby state (step 503).

(Response Level F) A flowchart showing the operation of the response level F is shown in FIG. 15 (b). This mode is a prank call repulsion mode and does not ring. However, the display means 8 displays that the mischievous telephone repulsion mode is currently in operation (step 601).
