JPS62150A - Automatic answering telephone set - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To offer a carefully though out response to an originator by deciding a registration number transmitted from an originator and outputting corresponding messages in the order of priority from a response content memory part. CONSTITUTION:The originator drives a registration number transmitting part 2 the moment an incoming side is made in a reception state. The incoming side decodes the registration number by a registration number deciding part 5 and responds the messages stored previously in the response content accumulating part 62 of the response content memory part 6 in the order of priority corresponding to the registration number. The messages stored in the response content memory part 6 can be updated at random to respond with a carefully thought out message, thereby shortening the communication time. Upon the completion of the transmission of the message to the originator, a control is made so that the message from the originator can be recorded.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] This is an answering machine function between callers with a specific registered number, which responds with a detailed message corresponding to the caller's registration number and also sends a message from the caller. An answering machine that can record audio.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to an answering machine.

[Conventional technology]

When a conventional answering machine receives a call, it generally notifies the caller that he or she is not at home, and also sends a message indicating that the message will be recorded and that the message should be answered. It was only for recording the matter.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The conventional answering machine is set up so that it can handle an unspecified number of communication parties, and the content of the response message is limited and uniform, so the caller is not sure if the receiver knows the recorded content. There was an inconvenience in that the recipient could not be contacted until after the email had been sent, and the recipient was forced to wait for a very long time.

For example, if you receive a call while you are away and you can confirm the sender, depending on the sender, simply including the contact information in the message you respond to can make up for the loss of time.

The present invention was created in view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide an answering machine capable of responding to a detailed message in response to a caller who is not at home.

[Means to solve the problem]

As shown in FIG. 1, the answering machine of the present invention has a registration number set in advance for a specific caller, and a response content storage section 6 that stores a response message corresponding to each registration number, and a registration number determination unit 5 that compares the registration number sent from the source with a registration number stored and registered in advance; and a response content storage unit 6 that outputs a message corresponding to the registration number based on the determination output. A response content storage unit 6 is provided for outputting responses in priority order.

[Effect]

The calling party drives the registration number sending unit 2 when the called party enters the receiving state. The receiving side decodes the received registration number in a registration number determination section and responds with messages stored in advance in the response content storage section 62 of the response content storage section 6 in priority order corresponding to the registration number. By allowing the messages stored in the response content storage section 6 to be updated at any time, it is possible to respond with detailed messages, thereby reducing contact time. When the sending of the message to the sender is completed, the next message from the sender is controlled to be recorded.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an answering machine according to the present invention.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a caller's telephone set, to which a registration number sending unit 2 is attached. The registration number is determined in advance with the receiving answering machine, which will be described later, and information for identifying the caller, such as the caller's own telephone number, can be used.

3 is a telephone line, 4 is an answering machine on the receiving side,
A registration number determination section 5, a response content storage section 6, and a magnetic tape recorder (not shown) for recording the sender's message are attached.

The registration number determination unit 5 stores in advance a large number of the registration numbers of the callers related to itself in its memory, and determines whether the registration number received (receiver) corresponds to the registered registration number stored in advance. It is something to judge.

The response content storage unit 6 includes a response content selection unit 61, a response content storage unit 62, and a response content sending unit 63.

Note that 8 is a telephone set on the receiving side, which is also equipped with a registration number sending section (not shown).

Now, assume that the caller calls the called party's telephone 8 via the telephone line 3 using the telephone 1, and when the called party enters the receiving state, sends out its own registration number from the registration number sending unit 2.

The receiving answering machine 4 decodes the received registration number in the registration number determination unit 5 and outputs a plurality of messages corresponding to the registration number stored in the response content storage unit 62 of the response content storage unit 6. The response message selection section 61 selects the transmission order of the response messages, and the response message storage section 62 is accessed based on the transmission order. The response content sending unit 63 converts the signal output from the response content storage unit 62 into an audio signal and sends it to the telephone line 3.

A message input unit 7 (for example, a keyboard, etc.) is connected to the response content storage unit 62, and has a function of updating message content item by item at any time.

As described above, the sender is confirmed by decoding the registration number, and pre-prepared response messages (for example, contact information when the other party is away, a message request for information that the other party wants to know, information that the other party wants to know, etc.) are voiced and transmitted in priority order. When it is notified that the sender's message will be recorded subsequent to sending the message, a message recording command is output from the response content sending unit 63 to a recording control unit (not shown), and the message is recorded by a magnetic tape recorder.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained in detail above, the answering machine of the present invention has the following features:
This has the effect of making it possible to provide a detailed response to the caller and making effective use of time.
