Abstract

PURPOSE:To contrive a smooth telephone response by providing a speaker which reproduces a message from an artificial voice synthesizing circuit which synthesizes the message according to a message generation signal. CONSTITUTION:The artificial voice synthesizing circuit 14 is connected to a message register 13 and synthesizes the message according to the message generation signal at the time of inputting the signal. The message synthesized by the synthesizing circuit 14 is amplified by an amplifier 15 and outputted to a reception-side telephone set connected by an exchange circuit 11. The transmitter-receivers 21a and 21b and dials 23a and 23b are connected to telephone sets 20a and 20b, which have transmitting and receiving circuits 22a and 22b connected to the exchange circuit 11 of an automatic telephone set 10. Further, speakers 24a and 24b are connected to the transmitting-receiving circuits 22a and 22b to reproduce the message outputted by the automatic telephone exchange 10. Consequently, a caller is previously known thereby an answer is made possible.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a closed line telephone system equipped with a private exchange.

(Prior Art) In conventional systems having private exchanges such as in-house telephones, private telephones, and on-board telephones, when a call is received, a notification is simply made by the sound of a bell or buzzer.

(Problems to be solved by this invention) In such a closed line telephone system, so-called outside calls coming from outside can be identified by changing the sound of a bell or buzzer. Even if you do not know who the other person is, you can make your first statement with caution so that you can respond accordingly.

However, in the case of calls between extensions as described above, it is difficult to know how to answer the first call, for example, whether it is from the work site, the boss's private office, or a co-worker, until you pick up the handset and identify the person on the other end. There was a problem.

Therefore, this invention solves the above-mentioned problems in a closed line telephone system equipped with a private exchange.
To provide a telephone system in which when a call comes in, it is immediately possible to know who is on the sending side, and the telephone can be answered smoothly.

(Structure of the Invention) The automatic telephone system according to the present invention has a sending side telephone device identification circuit for identifying a sending side telephone device and a message creation signal for each telephone device registered in a private exchange, and an identification circuit from the identification circuit. a message register that outputs a corresponding message creation signal on the sending side when a signal is input;
The telephone is characterized in that it is equipped with an artificial voice synthesis circuit that synthesizes a message according to this message creation signal, and that each telephone is further equipped with a speaker that reproduces the message from the voice synthesis circuit.

(Example) DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be explained below with reference to illustrated embodiments.

A block diagram of an embodiment is shown in FIG. 1, and an automatic telephone exchange 10 used in this telephone system is equipped with a switching circuit 11 that connects lines of transmitting and receiving telephones.
When a call is made from the transmitting side telephone 20a, a line is connected to the corresponding receiving side telephone 20b.

A transmitting telephone identification circuit 12 is connected to the switching circuit 11, and the transmitting telephone identification circuit 12 identifies the transmitting telephone 20a based on the outgoing signal from the transmitting telephone 20a that is input to the switching circuit 11. and outputs an identification signal.

A message register 13 is also connected to the sending telephone identification circuit 12 . This message register 13 is entered in advance for each telephone, for example, ``This is a call from A-san.'' or ``A call from room rB.'' ” message creation signal is registered. When the message register 13 receives an identification signal from the sending telephone identification circuit, it outputs a message creation signal corresponding to the sending telephone identified by the identification signal.

Furthermore, an artificial voice synthesis circuit 14 is connected to the message register 13, and when the message creation signal is input, this artificial voice synthesis circuit 14 responds to the message by saying, ``A-san is calling.'' or rB room. I'm calling you. ” and other messages are synthesized into speech. The message synthesized by the artificial voice synthesis circuit 14 is amplified by the next stage amplifier 15, and output to the receiving side telephone connected by the switching circuit 11.

Telephones 20a and 20b used in this system are connected to handsets 21a and 21b and dials 23a and 23b, as well as a transmitting and receiving circuit 22a connected to the switching circuit 11 of the automatic telephone exchange 10, like ordinary telephones.
, 22b. Further, a transmitting/receiving circuit 22a,
Speakers 24a and 24b are connected to 22b, allowing them to reproduce messages output from the automatic telephone exchange IO.

In a telephone system with such a configuration, ′? ri talker 2
The operation when communicating from telephone 0a to telephone 20b will be explained based on the flowchart of FIG.

When the handset 21a is picked up from the telephone 20a (step 1) and the area number of the telephone 20b is turned on the dial 23a (step 2), the signal is transmitted to the automatic telephone exchange 10 via the transmitting/receiving circuit 22a ( Step 3).

In the automatic telephone exchange 10, the signal from the telephone 20a is processed by the switching circuit 11, and the line between the automatic telephone exchange 10 and the telephone 20b is connected (step 8).

At the same time, the transmitting telephone identification circuit 12 recognizes the telephone 20a (step 4) and searches for the corresponding message creation signal in the message register 13 (step 5).
.

The artificial voice synthesis circuit 14 makes an rAA voice call based on the input message creation signal. ” is generated (step 6).

Furthermore, after this message is amplified by the amplifier 15 (step 7), it is transmitted to the telephone 20b and the speaker 24
At step b, the message ``This is a call from A-san.'' is repeated (step 9).

When you pick up the handset 21b of the telephone 20b (step 10), you will receive a call from rA-san from the speaker 24b. ” message is stopped (step 11), and the communication circuit between the telephones 20a and 20b is connected (step 12).

The user of telephone 20b knows from the call from speaker 24b that the call is from the user of telephone 20a, and can answer the call while being aware of the relationship between the user and himself.

(Effects of the Invention) The embodiments of the automatic telephone system according to the present invention are as described above, and the following effects can be achieved.

The built-in speaker of the receiver's telephone notifies the transmitter's telephone by voice, so the person who is calling can be known in advance and can answer the call, and the caller does not use a bell or buzzer to provide peace of mind.
