Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve operability and to reduce the probability of mis-operation, by using an incoming dial information stored in a calling terminal when a caller requests message registration, and setting automatically a channel with a voice storage device. CONSTITUTION:When a pushbutton(PB) telephone set 1 is hooked off, an adaptor control section 6 in an adaptor 2 converts a telephone number of an opposite PB telephone set 5 into code information at a dial information conversion section 8 and stores it. When an opposite party is absent or busy, the caller depresses a message registration button 10 without hook-on. The control section 6 switches a changeover switch 13, controls a DC loop control section 12 and makes an oscillation request to a subscriber exchange 3. A selecting signal to the voice storage device 4 stored in advance is converted into a PB signal at a transmission/receiving circuit 11, the signal is transmitted to the exchange 3 to call out the voice storage device 4.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The technical field of the invention relates to a message registration method that improves operability and reduces the probability of erroneous operation.

Conventionally, a subscriber calls a voice storage device in a telephone line and registers a message to be transmitted to the other party in this device.
A voice storage system is known in which the voice storage device calls the other party after a predetermined period of time and transmits the message to the other party. In such systems, it is rather rare for a subscriber to wish to register a message from the beginning, and it is common for a subscriber to wish to register a message after learning that the called party is busy or absent.

In this case, the subscriber will once have access to '114. There were problems in terms of operability, such as the need to perform the message registration operation again after the handset was turned on-hook, and the sequence of operations was not consistent.

In order to solve these shortcomings, we use an adapter or a dedicated terminal as a subscriber terminal, and modify the interface of the voice storage device to make it compatible with these dedicated terminals. Although there have been attempts to improve performance, the problem is that the operability has not been improved much despite the high system cost.

Furthermore, in the past, various types of relatively long information required for message registration were entered by the subscriber's own push button operation, so there was a problem that the probability of erroneous operation was relatively high.

Purpose of the Invention The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the conventional method described above.The purpose of the present invention is to improve the operability without the need for modifying the switching equipment or installing a new cloth. The purpose of this invention is to provide a message registration method that reduces the probability of erroneous operation.

Embodiment Figure C" is a block diagram showing the configuration of one example of the implementation of the present invention, where 1 is a push button (PR) 't+i, it
Old machine, 2 is an adapter added to this PB'tun Pil II school, 3 is a general-purpose connection Nekomata Kotsutsuki connected to this adapter via a general-purpose connection connection, 4 is this connection exchange machine and a general-purpose subscriber 41 or 1j user AH, i to Sakurajima voice storage device 1゛I, 5], subscriber exchange (PN or DP (dial pulse) accommodated in ) is a telephone.

It is assumed that the PE telephone 1 calls the PB tag and the number 5. When the PE telephone 1 goes off-hook, the loop monitoring unit 9 in the adapter 1 forms a loop and makes a call from the calling register 15 of the subscriber exchange 6. The sound is detected and the adapter control unit B is notified of this fact.The adapter control unit 6 receives this and controls the dial information conversion unit 8 and the loop monitoring unit 9, and the pB%
The entire ILj1 talk number of the other party's PE telephone 5 to be dialed (converts from the @ number to the corresponding code information and stores it. PE %.

If the PE% caller 5 answers the call from the caller 1, the subscriber of the subscriber completes the mutual call according to the normal procedure 11iri.In this case, the adapter controller 116 is connected to the loop monitor 9
The operator receives a notification that the PE telephone 1 has gone on-hook, and clears the accumulated code information of the telephone 5. If the code 'Ii't 01g of the other party's telephone is set up in sequence, the clearing operation described above is not necessary.

On the other hand, if the PB' caller 5 does not respond, in other words, the user listens to the busy tone from the busy tone generating circuit 16 of the subscriber exchange 3 or the ringing tone from the trunk 17 within the local office. Upbound, PB'h3. The caller of the first caller was busy talking with the other party, and when he learned of the other party's absence, this caller was I) Box B.
ii', i tjg Adapter 2 to request message registration to the other party without putting 1 on-hook.
Press the message registration request button 10. Detecting this, the adapter control unit 6 sends a message registration request to the side connected to the path 12 and the in-band signal transmitting/receiving circuit 11 by lighting the lamp of the button 1o. The adapter control unit 6 then controls the DC loop control circuit 11 to open the loop for subscriber Tsuru j, and PB14=,
At the same time as abandoning the calling operation to the filling machine 5, after the IJi regular period, the DC roof allocation 11 circuit 12 is controlled to close the loop of the added Nagisa connection. i
make a request.

The transmitting/receiving circuit 11 is the originating 1h register 15 of the subscriber exchange 5.
The adapter detects the tone from the i′1l1
1 '+fi Tell 6. Upon receiving this, the adapter control unit 6 selects the selection 1 to the audio storage device 24 which has been recorded in advance.
No. 6 is sent to the transmitter/receiver circuit 11, which converts it into No. 1 and 1h, and sends it to the subscriber exchange 3.

The subscriber exchange 6 that has identified this selection signal calls the voice storage device 4, and the interface section 19 in the voice storage device 4, which has suspended the call, notifies the control section 18 of this fact. Having received this, the distribution section 18 controls the operation of each section within the audio storage device 4 according to a known routine.

That is! The till rill1 section 18 first controls the interface section 19 to send a response signal to the subscriber exchange 6, and causes the in-band signal transmission/reception section 21 to send out a response confirmation sound to the adapter 2. This response confirmation sound is transmitted through the interface section 19, the subscriber exchange 3, the changeover switch 16 in the adapter 2, and the static flow roof control circuit 12 to the transmission/reception 11 circuit 11.
1 notifies the adapter allocation section j section 6 of this fact.

Upon receiving this, the adapter control unit 6 issues a service code (generally f
lj control color code), ψ11. NL in the i-terminal ID setting section 7 in advance.
The PE signal is transmitted from the transmitting/receiving circuit 11 by the stored variably settable terminal ID (telephone number 111 of PH41j product number 1) and the temporarily stored PBI shoe number 5's frost 1 episode number as described above. It will be sent out sequentially. When this sending is finished,
The target full sum 11 section 6 controls the selector switch 13 to draw the subscriber line to the PB also line filling machine side.

On the other hand, the PE signal sent from the transmitting/receiving 1M circuit 11 prior to switching of the changeover switch 1B is
, the interface section 19 of the audio storage device 4 transmits and receives the message through the sixth section 21 and is received by the first section 18. At the same time as starting the voice storage operation, the sending/receiving 1ml) 21 is controlled to input a message.
7) Recording to prompt IJ1] PE% speech machine is sent out at the start signal and full signal. After confirming this tone, the caller sends a message to be stored. This message V is compressed and encoded into a digital signal by the audio processing unit 20 in the audio storage device 4, and then stored in the audio file unit 2.
It is accumulated in 2.

PR't! -,il! When the calling name from i-machine 1 finishes uttering the message, it puts PB telephone 1 on-hook. The transmitting/receiving circuit 21 of the audio storage device 4 detects the busy tone and notifies the control unit 18 to that effect. Upon receiving this, the control unit 18 controls the audio processing unit 20 and the audio file unit 22 (1b1) to terminate the storage operation, and subsequently controls the interface unit 19 to send a call end signal to the subscriber exchange unit 6, thereby starting the loop. Perform release. Meanwhile, prior to this, PE%4. On-hook of the handset 1 is detected by the loop monitoring section 9 in the adapter 2, and the adapter production section 11 is notified of this fact. In response to this, the adapter control (1 part 6 is the message registration request button 1
The 00 lamp is turned off and the series of operations described above is completed. The control unit 18 of the voice storage device 4 calls the PE i-packing machine 5 after a predetermined time based on the telephone number of the PE telephone 5 that has been stored at the time of registration, and records the message stored in the voice file unit 22. Send out.

In the above example, the PE%L phone 1 caller goes on-hook immediately after finishing the message, but before going on-hook, the sound end code is sent as a PE signal, and the transmitting/receiving fd section of the voice storage device 4 It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the control unit 18 is notified of this via 21.

Also, in the above example, the adapter calls PIE as the calling terminal.
%, 'Although a hard disk is shown as an example, it is clear that a dedicated terminal that combines an adapter and a telephone may also be used.

Further, although the subscriber X switch 6 is shown as an example, it is obvious that this may also be a Sennai branch switch, and in this case, the adapter and the 474 local switch are connected by an extension line.

Effects of the Invention As described in detail above, the present invention temporarily stores the called party dial information sent to the entire network in the calling terminal at the time of making a call, and after that, the calling party can send a message. When registration is requested, a pre-stored selection signal is sent out to automatically set up a communication path with the voice storage device, followed by automatically sending out the 11'3 message necessary for registration of called party dial information, etc. Because of this configuration, there are advantages in that operability can be improved and the probability of erroneous operation can be reduced without making any modifications to the switching equipment or voice storage device.
