Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain miniaturization of a device and efficiency use of it by using by an abbreviated dial transmission means used normally as abbreviated dial in common use for an automatic dial for calling a pocket bell at the automatic answering mode. CONSTITUTION:In case of abbreviated dial mode, an abbreviated number inputted from dial key circuit 3 is converted into a corresponding telephone number by a dial signal generating circuit 2 having a memory function and transmitted to a line L. On the other hand, in case ot the automatic answering mode, after the information transmitted from the opposite side is recorded to a sound recording/reproducing circuit 8, the line is released once. After the elapse of a prescribed time next, a contact rh in parallel connection with a contact of a hook switch Hs is closed and brought into the off-hook state and a control signal is transmitted from the control circuit 4 to an abbreviated dial number data generating circuit 12. The circuit 12 transmits the abbreviated number corresponding to a pocket bell telephone number to the dial signal generating circuit 2, which reads the said pocket bell calling telephone number and transmits it to the line L.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention provides a multi-function telephone that registers speed dials in a plurality of dial number storage areas according to predetermined dial key operations, and reads the registered speed dials to make speed dial calls. Regarding.

For each incoming call, the pager automatically dials the calling telephone number to call the subscriber who is away, and the called subscriber uses a remote listening device to record the message on the answering machine. There is a device that allows you to immediately check urgent and important messages by playing back and listening to the messages, but there is a dip switch that individually sets the pager call telephone number assigned to each pager subscriber. This required an automatic dialing device with an automatic dialing system, which increased the size of the device, and also caused problems in that the automatic dialing system had a low operating rate because the answering machine was turned off when the user was at home.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention focuses on the fact that a functional telephone equipped with a speed dial circuit with a memory function as described above has recently been proposed.
In addition to having a built-in answering machine in this functional telephone, you can also pre-register a pager call telephone number in a specific dial number storage area, record a message for each incoming call in answering machine mode, and then enter the corresponding speed dial number. By generating data, the speed dial transmission means normally used for general speed dialing can be used for automatic dialing of pager calls when in answering machine mode, making it possible to downsize the device and use it efficiently. The company provides a multi-functional telephone with a wide range of functions. Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail using Examples.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a four-dimensional diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a telephone circuit, which includes a telephone circuit, a handset circuit, a bell circuit, and other usual circuits attached to a general telephone, except for the following dial-related circuits.

2 is a dial signal generating circuit which generates a DP or PB dial signal, and is constructed of, for example, a commercially available dial LSI with a memory function, and is a dial key circuit having a pushbutton type or rotary type dial operation panel. In addition to generating a corresponding dialing signal according to the normal dialing input from 3 and transmitting it from the office line terminal, writing to the memory that can call up and output a telephone number previously stored in the memory area by inputting a speed dial. For example, the second
As shown in the figure (,), after on-hook, key the desired destination phone number between the specific function key country, and finally select any memory address with 20 areas from -00 to 119, for example. The next step is to enter the key number manually. Similarly, in the case of a call to an outside line from within the PBX, registration is performed by also storing the outside line calling number, for example 10, as shown in FIG. 2(b).

Further, readout is performed, for example, by manually inputting a memory address as a speed dial after a specific function key range after on-hook to the device shown in FIG. A dialing signal corresponding to the number is generated. In the case of making an outside line call, for example, as shown in Figure (b), you manually press the memory number key and the dial tone is 11! This is done by inputting the zone key after confirming the name.

On the other hand, 4 is a control circuit equipped with a well-known CPU or microprocessor unit, etc. When the answering mode is set by the operation switch provided in the operation and display circuit 5, the answering operation is performed according to a predetermined program. .

Therefore, next, this operation will be explained using the 7p-chart in FIG.

When an incoming call is detected (by the incoming call detection circuit 6), step 1
00), the control circuit 4 operates the line relay RL (
Step 101)0 As a result, the contact rL is switched from the state where it is connected to the illustrated telephone circuit 1 side to the answering machine section side that includes the hybrid amplifier 7. Next, the control circuit 4 turns on the analog switch SW1 (step 102) and controls the recording/reproducing circuit 8, specifically the tape deck, to reproduce the response message previously recorded on the cassette tape. The response message is sent from the playback head to the central office line terminal via amplifier 9 and hybrid amplifier 7 (step 103). In this case, the response message may be a message informing the subscriber that the system is in place to call the absent subscriber using a pager and then transmit the recorded message to the subscriber after a while. When the response message is completed (step 104), the control circuit 4 turns off the analog switch SWI (Stella 7'l).
05) The analog switch SW2 is then turned on (step 106), and the recording/reproducing circuit 8 is again controlled to record the message from the caller on a predetermined tape area. The audio signal sent from the calling party via the central office line terminal is transmitted to the recording head via the hybrid amplifier T and amplifier 10, and is recorded (step 107). After the completion (step 108), the control circuit 4 restores the line relay RL and once releases the central office line (step 109). This message is terminated when the line disconnection detection circuit 11 detects a click sound when the caller goes on-hook, or when the voice switch detects that no voice input has continued for a predetermined period of time or more. You can know by detecting it. In addition, if the click sound cannot be detected for some reason, or if a prank call is taken into account, if the timer measures that a predetermined time has elapsed, the central office line is forcibly disconnected. After the line relay RL is restored, a timer is set (step 110), and after a predetermined period of time has elapsed and the line exchange side is completely restored (step 111), the control circuit 4 operates the on-7 relay RH (step 110). 11
2). This on-hook relay RH is a relay for on-hook dialing, and by this operation, the stain disconnection circuit 1
The contact rh connected in parallel to the seven switch H8 closes, resulting in a state similar to that of off-hook. Next, the control circuit 4 sends a control signal to the abbreviated dial number data generation circuit 12 to generate specific abbreviated dial number data corresponding to a predetermined memory address of the aforementioned dial signal generation circuit 2,
For example, %19" is generated. Since the Shibo footbell calling telephone number is registered in advance at address 19 according to the operating procedure explained using FIG. 2, the OR circuit 1
The dial signal generating circuit 2, which receives the above-mentioned data via the dialing terminal 3, reads out the pager calling telephone number and sends it to the central office line terminal, whereupon the abbreviated dialing is performed (step 113).

Hocket Pell call destination (center) U automatically answers on the second call and sends out the message ``We are currently calling. Please put down the handset and wait.'' Therefore, after making a speed dial call, the control circuit 4 sets a timer (step 114) after a period of time sufficient for the called party to respond in a normal case (step 11).
5), the on-hook relay RH is restored and the central office line is released (step 116). Alternatively, a called party response detection circuit may be provided in place of the timer, and the multi-station line may be opened based on its detection output. Thereafter, the control circuit 4 again controls the recording and reproducing circuit 8 to perform recovery operations such as locating the beginning of the response message tape in preparation for the next incoming call (step 117).

Therefore, the subscriber who was called by the pager alerts the user that the call has arrived at his/her home, calls the multifunction telephone from the nearest telephone, and sends a signal from the remote listening device. You can play back and listen to recorded business messages.

That is, when an incoming call is detected, the control circuit 4 closes the office line as described above and reproduces and sends out a response message, but when the remote listening signal detection circuit 14 detects an overlay signal. At this time, the analog/four-way switch SWI is turned on and the recording/reproducing circuit 8 is controlled to reproduce and transmit the message.

In this way, by using the dial signal generating circuit normally used for speed dialing, automatic dialing of a pager call can be performed in the answering machine mode. Although omitted in FIG. 4 1, if the caller goes on-hook without recording the business message, the central office line is immediately released and the process shifts to restoring the recording/playback circuit 8. .

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the telephone circuit 1 side and the answering machine side including the recording/reproducing circuit 8 were switched and connected by the contact rL of the 2-in relay RL. RL may be a closing relay for the answering machine unit side. In this case, the dial signal from the dial signal generation circuit 2 may be separated and sent from the answering machine unit only in the case of a pager call. Although a recording tape was used as the method, it goes without saying that a method may also be used in which the audio signal is stored in a memory as a digital signal and reproduced by voice synthesis.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, an answering machine is built into a functional telephone equipped with a speed dial circuit with a memory function, and a part of the memory area for speed dialing is used to shorten pager calls. The fact that dialing is performed has the advantage of making the device more compact and more efficient in its use.
