DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a telephone, and more particularly, to a telephone having a calling number display function in an answering machine function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method of notifying a calling number of a telephone set of this type, a calling party operates a dial button of the telephone when the called party is absent, so that the calling party telephone number is displayed on the called telephone set. Or a method of storing a caller number sent from a station and automatically transmitting the caller to the caller by an arbitrary operation.

[0003] As a conventional telephone of this type, for example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-95404, in an answering machine mode, a telephone number from a communication partner is received by an MF signal receiving section by an MF signal, recorded in a dial memory, and operated. A telephone has been proposed in which, when a user plays back, an MF signal from the other party is output from a speaker, and the number stored in the dial memory is read out by pressing a return key to automatically make a call to a telephone line. Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 7-14746 discloses a telephone number receiving section for receiving a telephone number transmitted from an office to a telephone answering machine, and a memory for storing a plurality of telephone numbers. There has been proposed a telephone which automatically transmits a dial signal according to a stored destination telephone number when it is necessary to reply to the destination after listening to the destination number.

[0004]

However, the above-mentioned conventional telephone has a problem that the calling party number cannot be reliably displayed by a simple method.

[0005] The reason is that the caller does not always transmit his / her telephone number together with the answering machine message, and does not always call the calling party when playing the answering machine message. Even if you simply want to confirm the caller ID, you need to perform a call operation, check the caller ID in a hurry, and restore it before the other party answers. That's why.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has as its object the operability and convenience by reliably displaying a caller number by a simple method when playing an answering machine message. Another object of the present invention is to provide a telephone with improved operability.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, a telephone according to the present invention is a telephone corresponding to a caller ID notification service, in which when a call is not answered, the other party's message is recorded as an answering message. Along with the function, there is provided a means for storing a caller number corresponding to the answering machine message, and a means for displaying the caller number corresponding to the answering machine message when playing the answering machine message.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. In a preferred embodiment of the telephone according to the present invention, in a telephone corresponding to the caller ID notification service, together with a so-called answering function, means for storing a caller number, means for displaying the caller number, It has means for controlling a caller ID to be written to the storage unit and a means for displaying the caller ID in association with an answering message by a predetermined operation.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention;

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a telephone according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a telephone 100 connected to a public line 107 includes a control unit 101, a display unit 102, a storage unit 103, a transmission / reception unit 104, an operation unit 105, and a recording unit 106. It is configured.

[0011] The public line 107 transmits a caller number together with an incoming signal when an incoming call is received.

The control unit 101 detects an incoming call from the public line 107, recognizes the calling party number, and activates an answering machine function when there is no response to the incoming call by the handset 104 for a certain period of time. Activate and respond automatically,
The recording unit 106 is operated to store the recognized caller number in the storage unit 103.

The control unit 101 is a storage unit for storing the order of messages entering the recording unit 106 and the caller number in order to avoid a situation where the recorded message and the response of the caller number cannot be matched. Correspondence with the address of 103 is taken.

The control unit 101 operates the recording unit 1 by a predetermined operation (answering / playback button) on the operation unit 105.
At the same time as playing back the message recorded at 06, the caller number corresponding to the message is displayed on the display unit 102.

The storage unit 103 stores the caller number written by the control unit 101, and outputs the caller number according to an instruction from the control unit 101. The display unit 102 displays the caller number read from the storage unit 103 via the control unit 101.

The operation unit 105 includes a dial button for inputting number information and a play button for playing an answering machine message. The recording unit 106 includes the control unit 101
Recording and playback of the message are performed according to the instruction.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG.

When there is an incoming call from the public line 107 (step 201), the control unit 101 recognizes the caller number before responding and displays the caller number on the display unit 102 (step 202).

If a response is made by the handset 104 ("Yes" branch of step 203), the call is started as it is (step 204), and the handset 104 is put down (step 205), and the telephone 100 is restored. (Step 212).

On the other hand, if no response is made for a certain period of time in step 203, the control unit 101 automatically responds (step 206), stores the recognized caller number in the storage unit 103 (step 207), and sets a recording unit. Record an answering message from the caller at 106 (step 20)
7). When the caller recovers, the control unit 101 detects recovery and recovers the entire telephone set 100 (step 20).
8).

Thereafter, when the answering machine message is to be reproduced by a predetermined operation from the operation unit 105 (step 209), the control unit 101 reproduces the answering machine message from the recording unit 106 and generates a message corresponding to the message. The caller number is read from the storage unit 103 and displayed on the display unit 102.
(Step 210).

Further, the control section 101 restores the telephone 100 by a predetermined operation from the operation section 105 (step 211).

[0023]

As described above, according to the present invention,
It is possible to display the caller number with a simple operation and surely, thereby improving the operability and convenience of the telephone.

The reason for this is that, in the present invention, a telephone set compatible with the caller ID notification service has means for storing a caller number corresponding to the answering message together with the answering message function. This is because a means for displaying a caller number corresponding to the message is provided.
