Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable telephone having a recording function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, portable telephones having a recording function are:
When a calling signal is received, a ringing tone is generated from an electronic buzzer or the like. If the telephone key is not pressed until the calling signal is continuously received N times, the Nth calling signal is received. At this time, an automatic response is made and a message from the caller can be recorded.

[0003]

In the above-described conventional portable telephone, a ringing tone is generated from an electronic buzzer or the like until a ringing signal is continuously received a predetermined number of N times. In places that may cause trouble, such as a conference room or a restaurant, the mobile phone must be turned off in advance. When the power of the mobile phone is turned off, if it is necessary to record the caller's requirements, the telephone company's answering machine service will be provided. For this reason, there is a problem that the reliance on the telephone answering service of the telephone company increases, and the payment amount for the service increases.

Therefore, according to the present invention, a portable telephone capable of automatically answering a caller and recording a task without generating a ringing tone when the first ringing signal is received without turning off the power of the cellular phone in advance. It is an object to provide a telephone.

[0005]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, when a first switch signal is received in a state where a predetermined switch is operated in advance, a caller automatically responds without generating a ringing tone. Recording means for recording the transmission of the message.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the first ringing signal is received in a state where the predetermined switch has been operated in advance, a call from the calling party is automatically answered without generating a ringing tone. Can be recorded, so that it is not necessary to turn off the power of the mobile phone even in a place where the ringing tone disturbs the surroundings.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the portable telephone according to the first aspect of the present invention, the recording means can reproduce the recording when a predetermined password is input.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the confidentiality of the recorded content can be obtained.

[0009]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is an external view of a mobile phone 1 having a transmission / reception function and a recording function. When a call is transmitted from the mobile phone 1, the telephone number of the other party set in the setting key-2 is confirmed on the display 3, and then the other party's telephone is called by pressing the call key-4. . In the case of receiving a call, a ringing tone is generated from an electronic buzzer or the like when a calling signal is received, so that a call with the caller can be made by pressing the call key-4. After the call ends, press End key-5.

The normal recording function of the portable telephone 1 is such that a call key-4 is received even if a calling signal is received ten times in a row, for example.
If is not pressed, on the tenth reception of the call signal,
An automatic response such as "I can't answer the phone right now, please tell me a message when the signal sounds. I will play back the message and contact you later." It records the matter.

In the above-mentioned ordinary recording function, the automatic answering is performed after the ringing tone is emitted ten times. There must be. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to use a normal recording function in such a place.

Therefore, if the changeover switch 6 shown in FIG. 1 is turned on in advance in the portable telephone 1, the automatic answering is performed without generating a ringing sound from the time of receiving the first calling signal, and the calling party is called. There is a special recording function that allows you to record the transmission. The mobile phone 1 includes a microcomputer.
An electronic control circuit (not shown) having the data center as the center is provided, and the electronic control circuit is configured to execute the transmission / reception function, the normal and special recording functions, and the like.

FIG. 2 is a control flowchart of the portable telephone 1 by the electronic control circuit. After the power switch 7 (see FIG. 1) of the mobile phone 1 is turned on, step S
As shown in FIG. 1, when it is determined that the first ringing signal has been received in the event waiting state, the process proceeds to step S2 to determine whether or not the changeover switch 6 is turned on.
In step S1, when it is determined that a key operation of the mobile phone 1 is performed, for example, recording of a response message, reproduction of a caller's transmission recording, and the like are performed, these functions are activated. .

In step S2, when it is determined that the changeover switch 6 is turned on, a special recording function is performed in which an automatic answering is performed without generating a ringing sound from the time of receiving the first ringing signal. That is, in step S3, the user is off-hook electronically, and in step S4, for example, "Since it is not possible to answer the telephone now,
If you hear a beep, speak a message. I will play back the message later and contact you. "Is played back, and step S5
After recording the message transmission of the caller at step S6, after going on-hook electronically at step S6, the process returns to step S1.

In step S2, when it is determined that the changeover switch 6 is turned off, the normal call function and the recording function are operated. That is, in step S7, the buzzer sounds in synchronization with the reception of the call signal, and in step S8, it is determined whether or not the telephone key-4 is pressed. If it is determined that the call key-4 has not been pressed, the process proceeds to step S9. If it is determined that the call key-4 has been pressed, a call between the caller and the receiver can be made in step S10. Do the processing. In step S9, it is determined whether the calling signal has been detected N times (for example, 10 times) continuously. If it is determined in step S9 that the calling signal has been detected N times consecutively, the process proceeds to step S3, and steps S3 to S6 are executed. If it is determined that the calling signal has not been continuously detected N times, the process returns to step S1.

As described above, if the changeover switch 6 is turned on, the automatic answering is performed without generating a ringing sound from the time of receiving the first ringing signal, and the message transmission of the caller is recorded. can do. For this reason, for example, conference rooms, libraries,
Mobile phone 1 like restaurant, hotel lobby, etc.
It is not necessary to turn off the power switch 7 even in a place where the ringing tone generated from the telephone causes trouble to the surroundings.

To reproduce the message transmission of the caller recorded in this way, a predetermined password is set by the setting key-2 and the reproduction operation is performed. Therefore, the confidentiality of the recorded contents can be obtained.

[0018]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the first ringing signal is received in a state where the predetermined switch is operated in advance, the automatic answering without generating a ringing tone is performed, and the caller receives the first ringing signal. Since the transmission can be recorded, it is not necessary to turn off the power of the mobile phone as in a conventional mobile phone even in a place where the ringing tone disturbs the surroundings. Also, the dependence of the telephone company on the answering machine service is reduced.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the confidentiality of the recorded contents can be obtained.
