JPS61129955A - Voice confirming system at abbreviated dial operation - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain ease of listening to a specific name in voice at the operation of abbreviated dial by storing a specific name corresponding to an abbreviated dial number to an exchange station as a voice signal. CONSTITUTION:In storing a voice signal, an abbreviated dial is registered just before the said storage. In inputting an abbreviated dial number/opposite number, a central processing unit 3 confirms that the abbreviated dial number is registered already in a memory 52 to switch outgoing trunk lines to a call tone, connects a voice processing trunk 6 to transmit a voice guide read from a memory 65 to a caller. In operating abbreviated dial from an outgoing telephone set 11, the memory 52 is read to convert the abbreviated dial into a normal number and the unit 4 checks the state of a called telephone set via an outgoing register 57 or an intra-office connection trunk 55. The voice signal read from the memory 65 is transmitted by using the regular number as an address corresponding to the state.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a voice confirmation system during a speed dial operation, which allows the proper name of the called party to be audibly heard when a call is made by a speed dial operation.

[Prior Art] When using a conventional butshuhon telephone and performing a speed dial operation, registration is first performed with a telephone exchange. That is, in the conventional telephone exchange block diagram shown in FIG. 3 showing the connections between the exchange and telephones, the telephones 11, 12-- are connected to the exchange network NW3 via the corresponding subscriber circuits 21, 22--. has been done. 4 is a central processing unit CCl31 is a communication path control device SPC, 52 is a speed dial memory SDM, 53 is an outgoing register ORT, 54 is a ringing tone sending trunk RBT, 55 is an in-office connection trunk IOT, 56 is a calling signal sending trunk RGT shows. For example, when registering a speed dial from 11 on a subscriber's telephone,
When off-hook, the central processing unit 4 (CC) detects the call via the outgoing call register 53 (ORT) via the network 3 (NW> path ■).Next, the telephone sets the registration number + abbreviated code + the other party's number as 0*01.
When you dial △△△○○○○, the central processing unit 4 (CC) stores, for example, 2 in the memory 52 (SDM) as shown in FIG.
Storing the digit abbreviation code and the other party's number 0 Normally, this operation calls the other party, so the other party can confirm the desired abbreviation code. When calling the other party after on-hook, by operating *short code, the central processing unit 4 (CC) searches the memory 52 (SDM) and reads out the official number of the other party. If the other party's number is a subscriber within the own station, the control device 51 (SPC) reserves call route (2) and checks whether the subscriber of the other party's number, for example 12, is busy. When not busy, the control device 51 (SPC
), the calling telephone 11 is provided with a ring tone transmission trunk 54 (
A ringing tone is transmitted from a ringing signal transmission trunk 56 (RGT) to the called telephone 12. When the other party's telephone 12 answers, the control device 51 (SPC
) allows the call to be made via route ■. If the called telephone is busy, a busy tone is sent out from a busy tone sending trunk (not shown).

When the other party's number is a subscriber of another station, a regular number is sent through the connection line with the other station. Other stations perform subsequent processing and send back each signal.

Recently, computerized telephones have been researched, and some have a function of displaying dialed numbers on the calling telephone.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] With conventional butshuhon telephones, when a called party is called by speed dialing, the called party is busy or happens to be away and only the ringing tone is heard. If so, it would be impossible to confirm whether or not the original speed dial operation was incorrect and the user was calling someone else.

In addition, even if speed dial numbers are converted to regular numbers and displayed on electronic telephones, it is difficult to identify the called party using the numbers alone.

Means for Solving Problem c] The means adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problem are as follows:
In a speed dial operation method that uses a telephone exchange that has the function of converting a speed dial number entered from a telephone into a pre-registered regular number and calling the other party's phone, the telephone exchange has a number that corresponds to the speed dial number. comprising a device for storing the proper name of the owner as an audio signal, detecting the state of the called party using the authorized number, and transmitting to the calling party the proper name of the called party and the called party read from the storage device; The purpose of this is to send out an audio signal that represents the state of the device.

[Function] According to the present invention, since the unique name corresponding to the speed dial number is stored in advance as a voice signal in the exchange, the voice read out during the speed dial operation can be sent to the caller. Therefore, it can be easily confirmed whether there was a mistake in the speed dial operation.

Embodiment J FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In Figure 1, 11.12- is a telephone, 21.22-
3 is a subscriber circuit corresponding to each telephone, 3 is an exchange network NW, 4 is a central processing unit CCl31 is a communication path control device spc, 52 is a speed dial memory SDM, 53 is a calling register ORT, and 54 is a ring tone sending trunk RBT.
, 55 is a local connection trunk rOT, 56 is a call signal sending trunk RGT, 57 is an outgoing trunk OCT, and 6 is an audio processing trunk APT. 61 is an interface circuit with the network NW3, 62 is an analog/digital converter A/D, 63 is a digital/analog converter D/A, 64 is an audio memory control circuit MC165 is an audio memory MEM, and 66 is an audio processing trunk control circuit. A.C.
The TL controls each of the circuits and exchanges signals with the central processing unit CC.

Immediately before storing the audio signal, the speed dial is registered in the same manner as before.

At this time, the caller may dial a special number in advance, and the central processing unit 4 (CC') may respond with voice to prompt the caller to register. When the speed dial number/destination number is input, it is preferable that the central processing unit 4 (CC) responds with a reception tone or voice to guide the next voice storage. That is, when the central processing unit 4 (CC) confirms that the speed dial number has been registered in the memory 52 (SDM), it switches the outgoing trunk connection from the caller and connects it to the voice processing trunk 6 (APT) Ill. do.

(Route ■ in Figure 1). After confirming that the central processing unit 4 (CC) is connected to the trunk 6 (APT), the central processing unit 4 (CC) sends the voice guide read from the memory 65 (MEM) to the caller. Since the caller sends the unique name of the party who operated the speed dial, it is stored in a predetermined part of the memory 65 (MEM) in the trunk 6 (APT). That is, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. It is desirable for CC) to read out the voice once and have the caller confirm it.

When a speed dial operation is performed from the calling telephone 11, the memory 5
2 (SDM) and converts it into a regular number and sends it to the outgoing call register 57 (OCT) or the internal connection trunk 55 (I
OT) to check the status of the called party's phone. The memory 65 (ME) uses the regular number as an address in accordance with the state.
The audio signal obtained by reading M) is sent out. The caller will receive “
It sounds like ``Calling the power company'', so you can immediately tell whether the speed dial operation is correct or incorrect. The voice can also be heard while calling the called party. Although the case where the audio signal is digitally stored in the memory as an audio signal has been described above, the trunk 6 (APT) itself may be configured as a voice synthesis type.

[Effects of the Invention] In this manner, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily hear the name of the other party by voice when performing a speed dial operation, so that if an erroneous call is made, a call can be made again immediately.

Moreover, the operability of regular telephones can be improved simply by improving the equipment at telephone exchanges.
