JPS63204951A - Automatic answering telephone set - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit a reception side to learn when a call is made by providing a function which can record time in the function of an automatic answering telephone set. CONSTITUTION:A voice synthesis part E converts a time signal 9 from a clock D into a sound signal 10, and transmits it to a recording device F. If the record ing device F receives a time recording start signal 4 from the automatic answering telephone set B, it starts recording the time signal from the voice synthesis part E. Said device F receives a time recording stop signal 5 from the automatic answering telephone set B, stops recording time, and starts record ing a message 7 on a transmission side by subsequent transmission side message start signal 6. Finally, the recording device E is stopped by a transmission side message stop signal 8, the function of the automatic answering telephone set stops and telephone lines A0 and A1 return to an initial state.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to an answering machine.

Conventional technology When a conventional answering machine receives a call, it first sends a message tape prepared in advance by the receiving party, and then records the message from the transmitting party on the recording device of the receiving party. Met.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, it should be noted that the above configuration has the inconvenience of not knowing when a call has been received.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an answering machine in which the time is automatically recorded before or after recording a message from a telephone sender.

Operation According to the present invention, the time is recorded before or after the receiving side records the message from the sending side of the telephone. In other words, when playing a recorded tape etc. in order to check the call received while the receiving party was away,
The time is always played before or after the message, so the person on the receiving end of the call knows when the call came from.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an answering machine according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The drawing shows an answering machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, telephone line person. .

If a transmission signal is received through A, answering machine B
sends signal 1 to playback device C to play back the tape previously created by the receiving side.

The reproduced signal 2 is the telephone line person. , A1 to the sending side. Then, the reproduction device C is stopped by the signal 3 from the answering machine B.

Furthermore, the audio synthesis section E converts the time signal 9 from the clock D into an audio signal 1o, and sends it to the recording device F. Recording device F receives time recording start signal 4 from answering machine B.
When the time signal 1o is received, recording of the time signal 1o from the speech synthesis section E is started. Then, upon receiving the time recording stop signal 5 from the answering machine B, the time recording is stopped, and in response to the next transmitter's message start signal 6, the operation is started to record the transmitter's message 7. Finally, the recording device F is stopped by the sending message stop signal 8, the answering machine function is terminated, and the telephone line tag, M1, returns to its initial state.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the time recording start signal 4
shows the case where the time recording signal 4 is sent after the end of the playback signal 3, but if the recording device F and the playback device C are independent like a double cassette, the time recording signal 4 is sent together with the playback start signal 2. It is possible to record the time on a recording device while sending a message from the receiver to the sender.

Furthermore, if the time is to be recorded after the transmitter's message, this can be done by transmitting the time recording start signal 4 after the transmitter's recording stop signal 8.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention adds a time recording function to the conventional answering machine function, thereby allowing the receiving side to know when a call has been received.
