JPS63215247A - Voice synthesis call tone telephone set - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To recognize how long a called party keeps waiting a caller by adopting the constitution such a way that a timer circuit and a voice synthesis circuit are provided and a different voice is outputted at each elapse of prescribed time after a call comes. CONSTITUTION:When a call comes to a line, a call signal is inputted to an incoming call detection circuit 2 via a hook switch 1 and then detected, and a timer circuit 3 is started. The timer circuit 3 measures a time after the start and drives signal lines ST1, ST2...STn corresponding to predetermined times T1, T2...Tn at the arrival of each time. The signal through the signal lines ST1, ST2...STn is inputted to a voice synthesis circuit 4 to select and start a preset message. For example, when the signal line ST1 goes to H, a message of 'you are wanted on the phone' is uttered and when the signal line ST2 goes to H, other message of 'there is a phone call to you' is uttered, and the signal line STn goes to H, the other message of 'you have kept the caller waiting' is uttered through the setting of the telephone set. That is, different kinds of messages are sent corresponding to the elapsed times T1, T2...Tn from the incoming call.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a telephone for making voice calls.

(Prior Art) In the conventional telephone, the call f4 and the electromagnetic bell te built into the telephone generate one ring tone using an electronic bell sound.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, in the conventional system, only the electronic bell (f) rings in accordance with the calling signal sent from the line. After starting to receive a call, it took the caller t to answer.
The drawback was that it was often unclear how long they had to wait.

The object of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks.

To provide a voice synthesis ring tone telephone set which allows a called party to recognize the passage of time since receiving a call by making a voice call.

(Means for Solving the Problems) To achieve the above object, the telephone according to the present invention is an electronic telephone, and includes a signal detection circuit for detecting a call from a line, and when the signal detection circuit detects a call, A timer circuit that is activated and a voice synthesis circuit that selects a message based on the value of the timer circuit are provided, and a different voice is output every predetermined time period after an incoming call is received.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overall block diagram showing an embodiment of a telephone according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, one line is input to an incoming call detection circuit 2 via a hook switch l, and its output is connected to a timer circuit 3. Furthermore, the output of the timer circuit 3 is connected to a speech synthesis circuit 4 having a message selection input. Friend, the output of the speech synthesis circuit is connected to speaker 5. A hook switch l from the line is connected to a telephone communication circuit 6 having the function of a telephone set and a dial line w17.

FIG. 2 is a time chart showing the output state of the timer circuit.

The operation will be explained below with reference also to FIG.

When there is an incoming call on the line, the ringing signal is hook switch 15? The signal is input to the 1-incoming call detection circuit 2 via the 1-incoming call detection circuit 2. When the incoming call detection circuit 2 determines that there is an incoming call, the timer circuit 3 is activated.

The timer circuit 3 measures the time since it is activated, and when a predetermined time Tl, T2...To reaches a predetermined time, drives the corresponding signal lines STI, ST2...8tl. This situation is illustrated in FIG. After receiving an incoming call, a message of 8Tl and a message of 8T2 are issued, and if there is a response while the message of 8Tn is being sent, ST is canceled by the response. .

The signal lines 8T1, 8T2, . . . , 8tn are input to the speech synthesis circuit 4, which selects and activates a preset message. For example, when the signal line STI becomes “H”, “
The message "You're on the phone" is uttered, and ST2 selects 'H.
'', the message ``You're on the phone'' is uttered, and when STn becomes ``H'', the message ``I'm waiting for you'' is uttered. That is, the elapsed time TI, T2 . . . . Sends different messages corresponding to Tn.

The output of the voice synthesis circuit 4 is transmitted as a ringtone through a speaker.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention is configured to change the message as a ring tone sent from the speech synthesis circuit according to a preset timer value, so that the called party can make a call. This has the effect of being able to recognize how long the caller has been kept waiting, and changing the response to the caller when the caller has been kept waiting for a long time.
