Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent erroneous dialing by reporting dialed numbers with a voice. CONSTITUTION:When a dial key 8 is operated to dial the number of the other party, this data is sent to a control part 1 from a telephone control part 7 and is stored in a storage part 2. The control part 1 sends data to a speech synthesizing part 3. The speech synthesizing part 3 converts data from the control part 1 to a voice and outputs it to a channel. Then, this voice is heard by a telephone set 6. When a confirming button 9 is depressed after completing dialing, number data stored in the storage part 2 is sent to the speech synthesizing part 3. The synthesizing part 3 synthesizes a voice on a basis of said number data and outputs it to the channel. Then, numbers operated by a subscriber himself are confirmed with the voice. When, an originating button 10 is depressed after this confirmation, dial data is transmitted to a trunk line from a trunk line interface part 4.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Application The present invention is capable of confirming a function by voice when attempting to execute a function by key operation or dial operation, and also confirming the dialed number by voice. The present invention relates to an electronic button telephone device that is capable of making calls.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY In general, in electronic button telephone devices, when it is possible to confirm each function to be executed by operating each key or the dialed number to be dialed by dialing, a light emitting diode or a liquid crystal display is used. It is known to use a device or the like to make this visible.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with button telephone devices for business use,
Because there are a relatively large number of keys and a wide variety of functions, it is especially difficult for visually impaired people to confirm what function they are performing by operating the keys and dials. There was also the problem that even if one dialed a central office line, it was impossible to confirm whether the dial was actually correct or not.

The present invention solves these conventional problems,
You can confirm the name of each function you are trying to execute by key operation or dial operation by voice.Furthermore, when dialing a central office line, you can input each dialed number one by one while confirming it by voice each time. It is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic key telephone device which outputs dial information to a central office line when dialing is completed.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a storage section that temporarily stores the dial when the dial is operated, and a voice synthesis section that converts the dial into voice, so that all dial operations can be performed. By pressing the call button when the call is finished, the dial can be output to the central office line, and if a key or dial operation is performed to execute a certain function,
The controller determines what function it performs, and the voice synthesizer converts it into an audio signal and transmits it to the button telephone.

Therefore, according to the present invention, dial operations can be performed while confirming by voice, and after confirming all dials, the call button can be pressed to output the dial to the central office line, and various functions can be confirmed by voice. This has the effect that even visually impaired people can operate the button telephone and make calls with peace of mind.

The embodiment diagram shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, A is a button telephone set, which is connected to the main unit B by a data line and a communication path. 1 is a control unit in main device B, which stores dial data from telephone A in storage unit 2.
At the same time, the telephone line of the telephone A is connected to the voice synthesis section 3 by the link switch 5, and the dial data is sent to the voice synthesis section 3. Reference numeral 2 denotes a storage unit that temporarily stores dial data from telephone A until it is output to the central office line. 3 is a voice synthesis section which converts a dial signal into a voice signal based on the dial data from the control section 1 and outputs it to the telephone line A. 4 is an interface unit with the office line, which receives dial data from the control unit 1 and outputs the dial to the office line. Reference numeral 5 denotes a link switch, which switches between a communication path from the voice synthesis section 3 and a communication path from the central office line in response to a control signal from the control section 1.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. In the above embodiment, when the telephone A captures the central office line and dials the other party's number by operating the dial key 8, the data is sent from the telephone control section 7 to the control section 1 and stored in the storage section 2. . The control unit 1 sends data to the speech synthesis unit 3, and
Sends a signal to the link switch 5 and connects the communication path to the voice synthesizer 3
Switch to the side. The voice synthesis section 3 converts the dial into voice based on the data from the control section 1 and outputs the voice to the communication path.

Therefore, this allows the above-mentioned voice to be heard using the telephone 6. When the confirmation button 9 of the telephone A is pressed after all dials have been operated, the confirmation button 9 is detected by the telephone control section 7 and transmitted to the control section 1. Therefore, the control section 1 reads the previously stored dial data from the storage section 2 and sends the data to the speech synthesis section 3. Then, the voice synthesis section 3 receives the data from the control section 1, and outputs a voice signal to the communication path based on the data. Therefore, this allows the user to listen to the voice on the telephone 6 and confirm whether or not the dial pressed by the user is correct. Then, after confirming, press the call button I.
When O is pressed, it is detected by the telephone control section 7 and transmitted to the control section 1, so the control section 1 sends the dial data to the central office line interface section 4, and the central office line interface section 4 dials the central office line. Output a signal.

After completing all dialing, if you do not need to confirm, just press the call button. Further, the control section 1 switches the communication path to the central office line side using the link switch 5.

In addition, it determines whether the call is a function specific to a key telephone, other than a central office line call, sends the data to the voice synthesis unit 3, controls the link switch 5 in the same way as above, and notifies the telephone 6 of this with voice. .

As described above, according to the above embodiment, the dials can be confirmed by voice, and the dials are not output to the central office line unless the call button is pressed after confirming all the dials, so it is possible to prevent the occurrence of incorrect dialing. Furthermore, it has the advantage that many functions specific to key telephones can be confirmed by voice.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, the present invention has the following effects.

(1) Dial numbers can be confirmed by voice, so even people with visual impairments can call with confidence.

can be applied.

(2) After confirming all dials, the dials can be output to the central office line, so incorrect dialing can be completely prevented.

(3) Various functions can be confirmed by voice,
Malfunctions can be prevented.
