JPS63287248A - Automatic message controller for telephone set - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To send a message without recalling by itself by calling automatically till a called party hooks off to a call of a caller while the called party is absent or busy. CONSTITUTION:The titled controller is provided with a telephone number storage circuit 3 storing a telephone number of a called party, a recording circuit 2 recording the message of the caller, a timing circuit setting the number of times of ringing and the period of callout to the called party and the timing, an automatic dialing circuit 5 applying automatic dialing by the command from the timing circuit 4, and a reply confirming circuit 6 confirming whether or not the called party hooks off the telephone set. When the called party does not reply to the call, the calling of the called party is repeated at a prescribed period till the called party replies, and when the called party replies the call, the message is sent automatically. Thus, even when a telephone set of the called party is a conventional telephone set having no automatic answering function or interruption function, it is possible to transmit the message thereto.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an automatic message control device connected to a calling party's telephone.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional telephones have the inconvenience of not being able to communicate when the called party is busy or absent, and the call must be made again.

To solve this inconvenience, there are recording answering machines that can only be used by the called party and telephones that can be interrupted.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Answering machines or interruptible telephones have the disadvantage that messages cannot be left unless the called party is equipped with one.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic message control device for a telephone that allows messages to be sent even if the called party's telephone is an ordinary telephone without an answering machine function or an interrupt function.

[Means for solving problems]

The automatic message control device for a telephone according to the present invention comprises: a telephone number storage circuit for storing the called party's telephone number; a recording circuit for recording the calling party's message; A timing circuit that performs setting and timing settings, an automatic dialing circuit that automatically dials based on instructions from the timing circuit, and a response confirmation circuit that checks whether or not the called party has taken the telephone off-hook. If the called party does not answer, the system repeats calling the called party at regular intervals until the called party answers, and when the called party answers, a message is automatically delivered.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

This automatic message control device 10 is installed in a caller's telephone, and includes a starting circuit 1, a recording circuit 2, a telephone number storage circuit 3, a timing circuit 4, an automatic dialing circuit 5, and a response confirmation circuit 6. It consists of

The activation circuit 1 is a circuit that activates the automatic message control device 10 when the called party does not respond.

The recording circuit 2 is a circuit that records messages from the telephone.

The telephone number storage circuit 3 is a circuit that stores the telephone number of the called party.

The timing circuit 4 is a circuit that sets the cycle of ringing and the number of ringings for the called party, and sets the timing.

The automatic transmission circuit 5 is a circuit that performs automatic transmission according to instructions from the timing circuit 4.

The response confirmation circuit 6 is a circuit for confirming the response of the called party, that is, whether or not the called party has taken the telephone off-hook.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

When the caller performs normal telephone operations, the telephone number storage circuit 3 stores the telephone number. When the called party does not respond, the calling party activates the activation circuit 1, sets the ringing cycle and the number of ringings, and stores the ringing cycle and the number of ringings in the timing circuit 4.

The caller also operates the activation circuit 1 to activate the recording circuit 2 and records the message into the recording circuit 2 from the telephone. When the calling party goes off-hook, the timing circuit 4 starts counting, and when the set cycle time comes, the automatic calling circuit 5 is activated to call the called party. If the called party is busy,
When the response confirmation circuit 6 confirms the busy tone, the call from the automatic transmission circuit 5 is interrupted and the timing circuit 4 is activated again.
starts counting, and when the set cycle time comes, the automatic calling circuit 5 calls the called party.

In addition, if the called party does not answer, that is, does not go off-hook within the number of rings set by the response confirmation circuit 6, the call from the automatic calling circuit 5 is interrupted, and the timing circuit 4 repeats the call.
starts counting, and when the set cycle time comes, the automatic calling circuit 5 calls the called party. When the response confirmation circuit 6 confirms the off-footer of the called party, the recording circuit 2 transmits the contents of the message. When the message has been transmitted, the automatic transmission circuit 5 automatically disconnects the line.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, a call operation is automatically performed for a called party who is absent or busy, until the called party goes off-hook when the calling party calls, and the call is made. Can convey messages from other people. In other words, you can take the time and send a message without having to call back yourself.
