Abstract

PURPOSE:To make generated tones such as an error tone, an end tone, and a telephone ring-back tone easy to hear even when ambient noises are large and to reduce the volume of tones properly and make them easy to hear proper ly in a silent atmosphere by detecting the ambient noises and controlling the volume of generated tones automatically according to the detected noise level. CONSTITUTION:In case a generated tone is outputted, an automatic generated tone control mode is set on facsimile equipment 1 and the level of ambient noises is detected through a microphone 2. Then, the gain of an amplifier 4 is controlled automatically corresponding to the detected noise level according to a predetermined amplification factor. This measurement is carried out for a certain time and the generated tone is outputted from a speaker 5 at the time of the measurement is finished, so that the equipment returns to a stand-by state. At this time, the gain of the amplifier 4 is reset to its initial value.

This measurement is performed for a certain period of time (S4), and if the measurement is completed, S5
The process proceeds to output the generated sound from the speaker 5, and when the output is finished (S6), the process returns to the standby state. At this time, it is assumed that the gain of the amplifier 4 returns to its initial value.
