Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a voice media conversion system in an existing analog telephone network.

In a telephone network system, it is desirable to be able to talk to any party at any time, but if the called party is busy or absent, the calling party has the inconvenience of having to call again. When you are busy, you may forget the information you want to send, or even forget to call back. On the other hand, when the receiver is busy, depending on the content of the communication, such as a message, he or she may wish to receive the message in the form of a memo that can be seen with the naked eye rather than spending time on the phone. Also, in such cases, it is desirable to use a memo form from the standpoint of ensuring the reliability of information transmission.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and solves the above drawbacks by providing voice recognition means and media conversion means to facsimile in the existing analog network. A voice media that can convert the voice message of the originator into facsimile information and deliver it as is at the time of The purpose is to provide a conversion system.

In order to achieve such an object, the present invention provides a means for identifying a speaker using a PB signal delivered by a calling party, and a means for recognizing a voice message from the identified calling party,
means for encoding the recognized voice message code, means for confirming the recognized voice message code by voice returning it to the calling party using a synthesized voice, means for storing the recognized voice message code after confirmation; and means for converting the recognized voice message code into image information conforming to the standards of the destination facsimile device specified by the calling party at a time, and transmitting the same to the destination facsimile device.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the audio media conversion system of the present invention. In the figure, the voice media conversion system of the present invention is connected to a public telephone line.
In addition to connecting the LS, it also has a subscriber interface, a high-speed switch SW, a processor CPU for system control, and a memory CM for storing microinstructions.
, a disk controller DSC, a disk DISK for storing audio data, a work memory WM,
It is composed of a fax data transmission control unit FAXT, a voice recognition device SRU, a voice response device ARU, and a PB signal receiver PBREC.

The audio media conversion system of the present invention configured as described above will be explained along with its operation with reference also to FIGS. 2 and 3. Here, FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a voice message reception sequence, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a voice media conversion transmission sequence.

First, the voice message receiving sequence shown in FIG. 2 will be explained.

When the processor CPU detects the activation of the line,
Connect the high-speed switch SW to the voice response unit ARU,
PB the calling party number, called party number, and service type.
(Push button) to output guidance to send. Then, turn on the high speed primary switch SW.
After connecting to the PB receiver PBREC and receiving the above information from the calling party, the speaker is recognized from the calling party's number.

The processor CPU connects the high-speed switch SW to the voice response unit ARU again, and after confirming the ready status of the voice recognition unit SRU, issues guidance to detect a message. Then, the high-speed switch SW is connected to the speech recognition device SRU, and the message is recognized and processed.

The speech recognition device SRU uses a speaker-specific dictionary to
When a word is detected, it is converted into a code and stored in working memory.
Store in WM. After storing all messages in memory in a similar manner, the processor CPU terminates.
After confirming with PB or voice, connect the high-speed switch SW to the voice response unit ARU and notify that it will be repeated.

The processor CPU synthesizes the message stored in the work memory WM into a voice using the voice response unit ARU, and has the speaker confirm the message. And whether it is good or not
Notify by PB or voice, and if it is OK, store the voice message in the work memory to the disk.
On the other hand, if it is not good, the reception sequence is repeated again.

Next, the media conversion and transmission sequence shown in FIG. 3 will be explained.

The system utilizes free time and
Read the audio data from the graphic character pattern
Convert to GPAT, add spacing between words and line spacing,
Compose sentences in working memory WM. Next, the same memory pattern is scanned according to the output facsimile standard, converted into a FAX code pattern FPAT, and re-edited in the work memory WM.

After editing is complete, redisk the fax data.
When the time specified by the speaker arrives, the fax data is read from the disk and stored in the work memory WM. Next, activate the destination fax, and when a response is received, turn the high-speed switch SW on to the fax data transmission control section.
Connect to FAXT and sequentially send out fax data stored in work memory WM. After the transmission is completed, a call end signal is transmitted.

As explained above, even in an analog conventional telephone network, by placing a key phone or fax on the terminal, the present invention can send image information to the called party at any time, and can send it to the calling party at any time. This eliminates the need to wait when the other party is busy,
For the receiving party, this has the effect of freeing them from the burden of telephone calls during busy times.
