DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of how a response method and a response device in a portable telephone according to the present invention are actually embodied will be described. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of a response method and a response device in a mobile phone according to the present invention.

A portable telephone 1 has an earphone terminal 2 and a microphone terminal 3. It is assumed that the mobile phone 1 has various functions as a mobile phone.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a voice memory IC, and reference numeral 5 denotes a response circuit including the voice memory IC 4. And this response circuit 5
, The earphone 6 and the microphone 7 are connected.

In the response circuit 5, the voice memory IC 4
Is connected to a microphone circuit 8 connected to the microphone terminal 3, and is connected to an earphone circuit via an amplifier 9 for monitoring the operation of the audio memory IC 4. A battery 10 is connected to the monitor amplifier 9 and the audio memory IC 4.

In the illustrated example, three switches SW1, SW2, and SW3 are connected to the audio memory IC4. Response voices of three contents are recorded in the voice memory IC4. For example, the memory section corresponding to the switch SW1 has a sound "Yes"
In the memory section corresponding to W2, a voice saying "No"
In the memory corresponding to the switch SW3, a voice saying "I will call you later" is recorded.

Therefore, according to the contents of the call received by the portable telephone, the above three response contents are switched by the switch S.
When W1 to SW3 are selected, the sound is reproduced by the voice memory IC4 and transmitted from the mobile phone 1 through the microphone circuit 8 and the microphone terminal 3.

That is, in this circuit, the earphone 6
Is attached to the ear, and when the reproduced sound of the voice memory IC 4 is enabled to be monitored, when the mobile phone 1 receives a call, the earphone 6 can hear the received content. Then, according to the content of the call, the switch SW1
Is selected and closed, the sound "high" is reproduced from the sound memory IC 4 and transmitted from the mobile phone 1 through the microphone circuit 8 and the microphone terminal 3.

When the switch SW2 is selected and closed,
When the voice of "No" selects and closes the switch SW3, the voice of "I will call you later" is reproduced and transmitted from the mobile phone 1.

Therefore, if the content of the call is not complicated, three switches SW1 to SW1 are required in accordance with the content of the other party.
By appropriately operating the SW3, it is possible to communicate with each other without knowing the surroundings.

The response selection switches SW1 to SW3 and the contents of the response are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to these. For example, only one answer selection switch is provided, only the voice "I will call you later" is recorded, and when a call comes in,
It is also possible to close the response selection switch and to speak from the voice memory IC4. It is also possible to provide four or more response selection switches, record various communication contents for each response selection switch, and enable reproduction and transmission.
