Abstract

PURPOSE:To register the telephone number of the paging destination by the simple structure with ease from any remote telephone set by providing means to switch the memory for register the telephone number of the paging destination automatically to the status which permits the registration when it receives the specified remote controlled signal sent from the remote telephone set. CONSTITUTION:When an answering terminal 1 receives an incoming, it is detected by an incoming detection means 3, a switch is closed by a control means 9, and the trunk line is closed. An answering means is driven by the control means 9 and an answering message is sent to the caller. Upon the completion of sound recording of the business message from the caller, the switch 2 is opened and the trunk line is opened. After several seconds past, the switch 2 and the main wire are reclosed and an automatic dialing means 7 is actuated to dial in the telephone number automatically which is registered in advance in a memory 8 by an input means and to inform the telephone set of the paging destination of the fact that the message has been sound recorded.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention is capable of automatically dialing a predetermined telephone number to perform paging after recording a business message, and then playing back the recorded business message by remote control operation. The present invention relates to an answering machine configured as follows.

Conventional configurations and their problems In general, when a message from a caller is recorded, a predetermined telephone number is automatically dialed and the called party is called. There is a known answering machine configured so that when a predetermined remote control operation is performed using a telephone, the recorded message is automatically reproduced and transmitted to the called party. However, with these types of systems, it is not possible to rewrite and register the telephone number for calling the called party using the remote control, so it is necessary to use the input device installed in the answering machine before leaving the house.
It is necessary to set and register the telephone number of the place you are going to go out to, and there is a problem in that if you change your place after going out, the paging function can no longer be fully utilized.

purpose of invention The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an excellent answering machine that has a simple configuration and can easily re-register a new paging destination telephone number from a telephone outside the home.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is capable of automatically registering a memory for registering a paging destination telephone number upon receiving a predetermined remote control signal sent from an arbitrary telephone at a location. After setting the memory to a registerable state by means of this means, by sending an arbitrary telephone number from the telephone at the destination, the telephone number is automatically stored in the memo IJ-J.
It is configured so that it can be registered and perform paging operations for the above-mentioned telephone number.

The explanatory diagram of the embodiment is a schematic configuration diagram of an embodiment of the answering machine of the present invention, and in the figure, 1 is a central office line connection terminal.

2 is a switch that closes the central office line, and 3 is an incoming call detection means.

4 is a response means for responding to the caller when the user is away; 5
6 is a message recording and reproducing means for recording a message from the caller when the caller is away; 6 is an I) TMP remote control signal detecting means for detecting a remote control signal sent through the office line; 7 is an automatic dialing means; 8 is a 9 is a control means for controlling these means; and 10 is an input means for registering a paging destination telephone number with respect to the memory 9.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. Now, if there is an incoming call at the central office line connection terminal 1, this is the incoming call detection means 3.
The control means 9 closes the switch 2 and closes the central line.

The response means 4 is then driven by the control means 9 to send a response message to the caller.

When the transmission of the response message is completed, this is detected by the control means 9, and the control means 9 subsequently drives the recording and reproducing means 5 to make it possible to record the business message from the caller. When the recording of the message from the caller is completed, open Suinochi 2 and release the same. and,
After a few seconds have passed, close switch 2 again, connect the central office line, and turn on automatic dialing means 7.
is activated to automatically dial the telephone number previously registered in the memory 8 by the input means 10, and notify the paging destination telephone that the business message has been recorded. When the paging destination telephone is called, the operator is informed that a message has been recorded, dials the telephone number connected to the answering machine, and sends a DTMFIJ remote control signal 9, for example, "
]” is dialed. When a DTMF remote control signal is input to the office line connection terminal 1, it is detected by the DTMF remote control signal detection means 6, converted into a 4-bit digital code, and applied to the control means 9. Therefore, the control means 9 detects the arrival of the remote control signal and starts the message recording and reproducing means 5 to reproduce the message. The playback output is then transmitted to the paging destination telephone and can be listened to by the operator. By the way, the operator mentioned above
Assume that another DTMF' remote control signal 2 different from the Ii' remote control signal, for example "2", is dialed.

In this case, when the signal is converted into a 4-bit digital code and applied to the control means 9, the paging destination telephone number registered in the memory 8 is erased by the action of the control means 9, and the paging destination telephone number is entered into a signal waiting state. becomes. therefore,
Next, the operator enters the phone number to which the paging will be changed using the normal D
When the dial is dialed in the same way as the TMF dial, these DTMF signals are successively converted into 4-bit digital codes, applied to the control means 9, and registered in the memory 8 by the action of the control means 9. Therefore, a new paging destination telephone number will be registered in the memory 28 due to this K, and from now on, when a paging operation is performed on this paging destination telephone number, K will be registered.

In this way, according to the above embodiment, the paging destination telephone number registered in the memory can be easily rewritten by sending a predetermined remote control signal using a telephone at the place of departure and dialing a new paging destination telephone number. It is possible,
Therefore, I went out and spent 7 days.

Even if you change your outing location after you have left, you can easily perform paging operations for that outing location, which is extremely advantageous in practice.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above-mentioned embodiments, the present invention is capable of registering a memory for detecting this and automatically registering a paging destination telephone number by sending a predetermined remote control signal from any telephone. After setting the memory to a registerable state by means of this means, by sending an arbitrary telephone number from the telephone, the telephone number is automatically registered in the memory, and from then on, the above-mentioned It is configured to perform paging operations for telephone numbers, and the paging destination can be easily changed by remote control operation from outside the home, so it is sufficient to cope with changing the destination after going out. This is extremely advantageous in practice.
