Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of use] The present invention relates to a functional telephone having a call rejection function.

[Prior Art] In the case of a conventional function telephone having an incoming call rejection function, that is, an incoming call shutout function, the operation mode of this function is released by manual operation or by setting a valid period timer of this function. The incoming call shutout function is released by the timer output when the valid period has elapsed. In addition, during the incoming call shut-out mode, the incoming call display such as ringing of the incoming call is not displayed for all incoming calls.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The above-described conventional functional telephone has a problem that it forgets to release the call when the call-out shutout function is released by a manual operation. Also, when setting the valid period timer and canceling the incoming call shutout function by this timer output, the setting operation of the timer time becomes complicated, and if you forget to set the timer time, it is natural. There is also a problem that the incoming call shutout function does not work.

Also, in the incoming call shut-out mode, all incoming calls are not displayed such as ringing, so it is possible to shut out even if an emergency call arrives many times within a certain time. There was also the problem of being lost.

[Means for Solving the Problem] In order to solve such a problem, the first invention of the functional telephone according to the present invention is to set a storage means for storing a fixed shutout time and an arbitrary shutout time. Select a fixed shut-out time if the setting means and the setting button are activated by a specific button operation and the setting means is not set, and select an arbitrary shut-out time if the setting means is set. A first timer means that operates for each selected time and releases the incoming shut-out mode by the operation end output, and a second timer means that operates for a certain time by the incoming call in the incoming shut-out mode. The second timer means is provided with a counting means for counting the number of incoming calls during operation and displaying an incoming call when a predetermined count value is reached. .

[Operation] When a specific button is operated, the incoming call is shut out for the selected fixed or arbitrary shutout time, and when this time elapses, the incoming shutout mode is automatically released and the incoming shutout mode is set. When an incoming call arrives a predetermined number of times within a fixed time, the incoming call display is performed.

Embodiment Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of an answering machine according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 ₁ ,
1 ₂ is a diode, 3 _{1 to} 3 ₈ is a capacitor, 4 ₁ and 4 ₂ are hook switches, 5 ₁ and 5 ₂ are transistors, 7 is a call circuit, 8 is a dial circuit, 9 is a dial key, and 10 is a hold tone. Circuit, 11 is amplifier, 12 is speaker, 13 is voice recording / playback circuit, 14
Is a one-chip CPU with internal ROM and RAM, 15 is a function key, 16 is a 16Hz detection circuit, 18 is a photocoupler, 21 is a recording / reproducing IC, 22 is a DTMF receiver, 23 is a display circuit, and 24 is a transmission circuit. Phone,
25 is a handset.

When the incoming call from the telephone line arrives, the incoming signal line terminals L _1, L _2, is detected by the 16Hz detecting circuit 16 through the diode 1 _2, the detected incoming signal through a photo turnip 18 CPU 14 Be transmitted to. Here, even if the CPU 14 receives the incoming call signal, it does not ring the incoming call tone in the incoming call shutout mode. When the CPU 14 is not in the incoming call shutout mode, the CPU 12 drives the speaker 12 to ring the incoming call tone. As a result, the subscriber will be able to respond to this incoming call, the subscriber goes off hook, the loop is closed hook switch 4 ₁ is operated can talk with the other party.

Next, FIG. 2 is a flow chart for explaining the operation in the home mode of the answering machine which is constructed by applying the present invention. The detailed operation of the CPU 14 will be described based on this flowchart. In step 100, the operation of the shut-out button in the function key 15 provided to operate or cancel the incoming call shut-out function is determined. When this is "N", other processing is performed in step 101 and the process returns to step 100. If "Y", that is, the shut-out button is pressed in step 100, it is determined in step 102 that the time is set. If it is "Y", that is, if the time is set, the set time is set in step 103. (Preset in the range of 1 to 9 hours; arbitrary shutout time) is set in the shutout timer area in the CPU 14. Then, if "N" in the step 102, a constant time (for example, 2 hours; fixed shut-out time) is set in the shut-out timer area in the step 104. Then, in step 105, the shut-out timer (first timer means) thus set is activated and started. Then, in step 106, 0 is set in the incoming call counter and the incoming call timer area in the CPU 14 in order to detect whether or not there are incoming calls a predetermined number of times (for example, 3 times) or more within a fixed time (for example, 3 minutes).

Then, in step 110, the arrival of an incoming call is determined. Then, when this is "N", it is determined in step 111 whether or not the time-out of the shut-out timer is up, and if it is "Y", that is, when the time-out is up, the incoming call shut-out function is automatically canceled. Returning to step 100, the operation of the shutout button for operating the incoming call shutout function is determined again. If the answer is "N" in step 111, it is determined in step 112 that the pressing of the shutout button, which is operated again to cancel the incoming call shutout function, is detected. If the answer is "N", the process returns to step 110 to receive the call. The arrival of
If the result is "Y", it means that the incoming call shutout function has been canceled by a manual operation, and the process returns to step 100.

Next, when the answer is "Y" in step 110, that is, when an incoming call arrives, it is determined in step 113 whether the incoming call timer has passed a certain time. The incoming call timer is started when an incoming call arrives, as will be described later, and has not started yet at this time. Therefore, since the incoming call timer has not elapsed for a certain period of time, it becomes "N" in step 113, and subsequently it is determined in step 114 whether the value of the incoming call counter is 0 or not. Then, when the first incoming call arrives with 0 set in the incoming call timer and the incoming call counter area, this incoming call counter is still 0, so "Y" is obtained in step 114, so that the incoming call timer ( The second timer means) is activated and started, and subsequently, in step 116, the incoming call counter is counted by one from 0 to 1 (counting means). Then, in step 117, it is determined whether or not the value of the incoming call counter reaches 3. And at this time, the value of the incoming call counter is still 1
Therefore, the process returns to step 110 where “N” is obtained.

In this way, if the second incoming call from the other party arrives again within 3 minutes set by the incoming call timer after the incoming call is lost due to the other party's abandonment, this incoming call is detected and the result is "Y" in step 110. Since the time has not elapsed, the state becomes “N” in step 113. Then, since the value of the incoming call counter is 1 at this time, step 114
Then, in step 116, the value of the incoming call counter is incremented by one to be 2, and the flow returns to step 110 via step 117.

In this way, when the third incoming call arrives from the other party within 3 minutes set in the incoming call timer, it is judged in step 114 through step 110 and step 113 whether the value of the incoming call counter is 0 or not. . The value of the incoming call counter at this time is 2, so step 114
In step S116, the value of the incoming call counter is incremented by one to be 3, and in step 117 it is determined whether the value of the incoming call counter is 3. Since the value of the incoming call counter at this time is 3, the incoming call is regarded as an urgent incoming call because there are three incoming calls within 3 minutes, and the ring tone is sounded from the speaker 12 in step 118. Then, in response to this, the operator terminates the call, and the response and call termination processing is performed in step 119.
Return to 06.

If "Y" in step 113, that is, if the incoming call timer has started for 3 minutes, 0 is set in the incoming call counter and the incoming call timer area in step 120, and the process returns to step 110.

Although the operation of the incoming call shutout in the home mode of the answering machine has been described in the present embodiment, the same operation can be performed even if this is set in the condition of the answering machine.

Further, the incoming call shutout function can be applied to other function telephones that do not have an answering machine function.

[Advantages of the Invention] As described above, in the functional telephone of the present invention, when a specific button is operated, an incoming call is shut out for a fixed or arbitrary shutout time selected, and after this time elapses, the incoming call is shut out. Since the mode is configured to be released, there is an effect that the incoming call shutout function can be automatically released and the problem of forgetting to release does not occur. Further, even when the shutout time is not set, there is an effect that a fixed shutout time is selected and set.

In addition, when the incoming call comes in a certain number of times within the fixed time in the incoming call shut-out mode, the incoming call is displayed, so even if the incoming call is in the shut-out mode, the ring tone sounds for an emergency call. You can display the incoming call of
Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to respond to this incoming call.
