Abstract

PURPOSE:To remain the message to the individual caller for the telephone called during the absence by registering the subscriber number, the message, etc., to the message file beforehand by the called person who will be absent. CONSTITUTION:When the called person, who will be absent, desires to remain the message for the telephone called during the absence, first, a CPU 1 is called and his own subscriber number, the message handling time band and the message are registered to a message file 3. When the called person desires to remain the message to the special opponent, the subscriber number of the opponent is also inputted. Thus, while the called person is absent, the caller knows the existence of the message through the dial tone of the CPU 1, and his own subscriber number is inputted when the caller desires to know the contents. Next, the CPU 1 compares the subscriber number registered in the file 3 and the inputted subscriber number, and at the time of coincidence, the message corresponding to the number is outputted, and the caller can receive the message to the individual caller.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to exchange services.

[Conventional technology]

Until now, there has been no such message registration system that takes into account the lack of subscribers through switchboard services.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

When I was away, I used to use a terminal device such as an answering machine to send a message to a phone call that might come in when I was away, but this This method is not common in terms of temporary usability by a limited number of subscribers, and this method also allows callers to leave a message (f-) only for a specific caller.

A message telephone device that makes it easier for anyone to communicate via VC and allows you to send separate messages to one or more specific parties. The purpose is to

[Means for solving problems]

The message telephone device according to the present invention has a file processing device and a message file connected adjacent to a central processing unit of a converter.

There may be a plurality of recipients, and a plurality of different messages may be left for each recipient. Message file + a + VC by message other huff file processing device (2)
be registered. Further, the file processing device (21) performs deletion 2 of files whose designated time period has passed.

A case in which a call request is made to a called party who has been registered in this manner will be explained with reference to FIG.

The central control unit +11 confirms the existence of the called party's file in the message file (3) (Step 5) and sends a tone tf, ru to the caller indicating the existence of the file (Step 7) o.
