DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The invention of claim 1 of the present invention relates to a key telephone apparatus connected to a telephone network, and a key telephone apparatus having an extension telephone and a voice storage connected to the key telephone apparatus. A plurality of personal mailboxes for storing, for each individual, the contents of a call with the extension telephone making an external call via the telephone network,
A plurality of centralized mailboxes are provided for collectively storing the contents of calls of the extension telephones. Even when a specific extension telephone is performing a recording operation on a personal mailbox, the extension telephones are concurrently operated. Can be automatically backed up, and members other than the user of the extension telephone can hear the contents of the call.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the user of the extension telephone designates a specific personal mailbox when the extension telephone makes an external call via the key telephone unit and the telephone network. In this case, the contents of the external call to the preset centralized mailbox are recorded while the contents of the external telephone call are recorded in the designated personal mailbox in parallel. Can be automatically recorded in the personal mailbox and the centralized mailbox in parallel without having to perform a call recording operation.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, when the extension telephone makes an external call via the key telephone main unit and the telephone network, and the user of the extension telephone does not designate and operate the personal mailbox. Is configured to record the contents of the external line call in a preset centralized mailbox, and collectively record the telephone call contents of the extension telephones in the centralized mailbox without performing the call recording operation one by one. be able to.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention.
This will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a key telephone apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, the key telephone apparatus includes a key telephone main unit 1, an extension telephone 2, a telephone network 3, and a voice storage device 4.

The key telephone main unit 1 includes a control unit 1a for controlling the entire main unit 1, and an input / output unit 1b connected to the control unit 11a.

The input / output unit 1b of the key telephone main unit 1 includes:
A plurality of extension telephones 2 a to 2 c constituting the extension telephone 2 and a telephone network 3 are connected, and an external telephone 5 is connected to the telephone network 3.

The voice storage device 4 includes a control unit 4a for controlling the entire voice storage device, an input / output unit 4b connected to the control unit 4a, and connected to the input / output unit 1b of the key telephone main unit 1. An information storage unit 4c for storing data relating to the voice storage device 4; and a plurality of personal mailboxes 4d connected to the control unit 4a for individually storing calls and messages. Multiple centralized mailboxes 4 for automatic recording of batches
e.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When there is an incoming call from an outside line via the telephone network 3, the control unit 1a of the key telephone main unit 1 controls the input / output unit 1b
A call request signal is sent to the extension telephone 2 via the telephone, and the extension telephone 2 responds to the call request signal to enable communication with an outside line (step S1).

[0028] The voice storage unit 4 of the information storage section 4c, information indicating to record in advance the call content of any extension telephone to any centralized mailbox 4e is stored. Therefore, the control unit 4a of the audio storage device 4 is
If it is determined that the outside line telephone is to be recorded by referring to the data of (1), the recording of the contents of the call to the preset centralized mailbox is automatically started (step S2). Thereafter, in order for the user of the extension telephone 2 to record the call in the specific personal mailbox 4d, it is determined whether or not a recording designation operation to the personal mailbox has been performed by keying in the ID number of the corresponding box. (Step S3). If you do not enter your ID number without using your personal mailbox,
The normal outside-line call is terminated (step S7), the contents of the call are recorded in the preset centralized mailbox, and the recording process is terminated (step S8).

In step S3, the user
If the recording operation to the personal mailbox is performed by inputting the D number, the recording to the centralized mailbox is continued, and at the same time, the contents of the call up to that point are concurrently performed to the personal mailbox specified by the user. Recording starts (step S4).

When the normal outside-line call is completed (step S5), the contents of the outside-line call are recorded in both the centralized mailbox and the designated personal mailbox, and the recording process ends (step S6).

When the extension telephone 2 listens to the contents recorded in the voice storage device 4, the user of the extension telephone 2 dials the extension number of the voice storage device 4. As a result, the control unit 1a of the key telephone main unit 1 determines the extension number, sends a call signal to the voice storage device 4, and the voice storage device 4 responds to the call signal to enter a telephone conversation state with the extension telephone 2. .

Next, the user of the extension telephone 2 inputs the box ID of the personal mailbox 14d or the centralized mailbox 4e to listen to the recorded contents.
The input key code of the box ID is transmitted to the audio recording device 4 via the key telephone main device 1. The control unit 4a of the voice recording device 4 which has received the key code determines which personal mailbox or centralized mailbox corresponds, and reproduces the recorded content. The reproduced audio information is transmitted to the extension telephone 2 via the key telephone main unit 1.

As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, the contents of a call of a specific extension telephone can be recorded in one centralized mailbox.

Therefore, if it is set that all the telephone conversations of the extension telephones used by members belonging to the same project can be recorded in the same centralized mailbox, the telephone conversations of the group are collectively backed up by the centralized mailbox. can do.

In addition, when there is an external call having technical and professional contents, if the extension telephone set used by the person in charge corresponding to the call is set to be recorded in the centralized mailbox, the telephone user can be used. Even without performing call recording operation,
Important calls can be saved collectively in a central mailbox.

Furthermore, if the extension telephones used by the new employees are to be recorded in the centralized mailbox, even if the new employees respond to telephone calls as usual and perform the recording operation in the personal mailbox, the contents of the call can be recorded in parallel. The recordings can be automatically recorded in a centralized mailbox, so that the recorded contents can be used to guide newcomers to telephone calls.

[0037]

As described above, according to the present invention, even when a specific extension telephone performs a recording operation in a personal mailbox, the call contents of the extension telephone are automatically backed up in parallel with the recording operation. And the members other than the user of the extension telephone can listen to the contents of the call, so that the convenience of the entire group member using the key telephone device can be improved.
