Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease the cost and power consumption and to miniaturize the titled device by providing a voice element data dictionary storing voice element data at the outside of a telephone terminal device. CONSTITUTION:A voice element data registering device 2 is connected to a voice call telephone set 1 via interfaces 11, 12, an operation panel 13 is operated, an identification code and a name of a registered person are inputted, a control section 14 reads a voice element data corresponding to the inputted name from the voice element data dictionary 15 and sends the data to a control section 4 through the interfaces 11, 12 together with the identification code. The control section uses the received voice element data to start a voice synthesizer 10, a synthesized voice is outputted to a speaker and the person confirms the voice to operate the operation panel to command registration. Thus, the capacity of the voice element data storage section is reduced to improve the economy, to reduce the power consumption and to miniaturize the titled device.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] A telephone terminal that uses voice synthesis to call a person by name, stores only the phoneme data of the person the telephone terminal is in charge of, and stores information that is normally not necessary. A voice call telephone terminal is shown in which a phoneme data dictionary and a phoneme data registration means are arranged externally.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a telephone terminal that calls out the name of a called party by voice when receiving a call.

[Problems to be solved by the prior art and the invention] In a telephone that performs voice calls, phoneme data for calling a person's name requires an extremely large amount of memory, leading to increased prices, increased power consumption, and There is a problem in that the device becomes larger.

Means for Solving Problem c] In order to solve the above-mentioned points, the present invention provides: an automatic call receiving means, a data communication means, a phoneme data storage means for storing phoneme data for speech synthesis, and a speech synthesizer. When a call is received, the telephone terminal receives the called party's identification code through data communication from the calling telephone terminal and calls out the called party's name by voice. It is characterized by being provided externally to the telephone terminal.

[For production]

The present invention solves the above problem by utilizing the characteristic that the person who receives a call at a telephone terminal is fixed for each telephone terminal, and by storing only necessary phoneme data inside the telephone terminal.

Furthermore, the phoneme data dictionary and phoneme data registration means can be shared by multiple telephone terminals, thereby reducing system costs.

17 is a phone for transmitting phoneme data, and 18 is an NCU that performs an interface such as making and receiving calls and connecting to the telephone line.

19 is a modem for performing data communication via a telephone line; 20 is a control unit that controls the phoneme data sending telephone; and 2I is a phoneme data dictionary that stores names and corresponding phoneme data for calling.

Next, an example of the operation of the embodiment will be explained.

(i1 voice call operation (operation common to Figures 1 and 2) ■ When voice call telephone 1 receives a call signal for NCU 5 from the telephone line, it notifies the control unit of 4,
The incoming call operation is performed according to commands from the control unit.

(2) After the line is connected, the control unit 4 receives the identification code of the person via the modem 7, and reads out the phoneme data of the person's name from the storage unit 6 based on the received identification code.

■ The control unit 4 activates the speech synthesizer 10 using the phoneme data obtained in step ■, causes the speaker 9 to emit a sound, and reports the person's name and the fact that there is a call.

■ The human hears this and picks up the handset of the telephone section 8.

(ii) Voice registration operation (in the case of the first embodiment shown in Fig. 1) ■ A phoneme data registration device 2 is installed in a voice call telephone 1,
Connections are made through 11 interfaces and 12 interfaces.

■ Operate the operation panel No. 13 and enter the identification code and name of the person to be registered.

(2) The control unit 14 reads phoneme data corresponding to the input name from the phoneme data dictionary 15 and sends it to the control unit 4 through the interfaces 12 and 11 together with the identification code.

■ The control section 4 controls the number of 10 depending on the received phoneme data.
starts the voice synthesizer of 9 and outputs the synthesized voice to the speaker 9.

■ The human confirms this voice and operates the operation panel 13 to instruct registration.

■ The registration instruction is transmitted to the control unit 4 through the control unit 14, the interface 12, and the interface 11, and the control unit 4 registers the previously received identification code and phoneme data in the storage unit 6. .

■ When all the registrations are completed by repeating the operations from ■ to ■, disconnect the phoneme data registration device 2 from the voice call telephone set 1.

[iii] Voice registration operation (in the case of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 2) ■ Operate the operation panel 3 of the voice call telephone 1 to instruct voice registration.

■ Based on the instructions from ■, the control unit at 4 calls the phoneme data transmitting telephone set at 17 via the NCU at 5 and the PBX at 16,
For 17 phoneme data transmitting telephones, 1 from 16 PBXs
It receives a calling signal for the NCU 8 and performs a call receiving operation according to a command from the control unit 20.

■ After the line is connected, the control unit 4 and the control unit 20 are connected via the modem 7 and the modem 19.

■ Operate the operation panel in step 3 and enter the identification code and name of the person to be registered.

■ The control unit 40 notifies this to the control unit 20, and the control unit 20 reads the phoneme data corresponding to the manually entered name from the phoneme data dictionary 21, and sends it along with the identification code via the modem 19 and the modem 7. The data is sent to the control unit No. 4.

■ The 40 control unit selects 10 according to the received phoneme data.
starts the voice synthesizer of 9 and outputs the synthesized voice to the speaker 9.

(2) The human confirms this voice and instructs registration by operating the operation panel 3, whereby the control section 4 registers the previously received identification code and phoneme data in the storage section 6.

② When all the registrations are completed by repeating the operations from ② to ②, the line between the voice calling telephone set 1 and the phoneme data sending telephone set 17 is disconnected.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, in a voice call telephone, the capacity of the phoneme data storage section can be reduced, and excellent effects such as improved economic efficiency, reduced power consumption, and miniaturization of the device can be brought about.
