Abstract

PURPOSE:To widely cope with the situation of a called party while flexibility is given between an automatic answering telephone function and a normal telephone function by operating the telephone set as an automatic answering telephone set only when the called party does not hook off its handset after a call signal is received for a prescribed time. CONSTITUTION:When a called party is at home and can respond to a call signal instantly, for example, the called party hooks off the handset 1 directly to attain talking. In this case, no signal is sent from a timing measuring instrument 3 and a message sender 4 is inoperative. The conventional talking is attained when the called party hooks off the handset within a time preset to the timing measuring instrument 3 and sufficient margin is given. When the called party is absent or the called party cannot respond to a call signal within a short time, the message sender 4 is operated based on the signal from the timing measuring instrument 3 to attain the so-called automatic answering telephone function. Thus, suitable correspondence in response to the state is taken.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a message telephone system used in answering machines and the like.

〔従来の技術〕[Conventional technology]

This type of conventional message telephone system has two functions: a normal telephone function in which the called party speaks directly through the handset, and a pre-recorded message that is sent to the caller as well as a message from the caller. It was designed to be used by switching between a so-called answering machine function and a recording function.

And if you were using it as an answering machine,
When a ringing signal is received, the handset is immediately taken off-hook and a message is sent to the calling party; on the other hand, if the telephone is being used as a regular telephone, the ringing signal is sent as is unless the called party takes the handset off-hook. Just in case you continue to receive it.

In the conventional message telephone system mentioned above, for example, if the called party is inadvertently left on the answering machine even though he or she is at home, a message indicating that the caller is unavailable is immediately sent. If the called party is unable to take the handset off-hook for some reason, it will continue to receive the ringing signal, and there will be no flexibility between each function. The problem was that it lacked gender.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention automatically takes off the handset and sends a message to the calling party only if the called party does not take off the handset after receiving a ringing signal for a certain period of time. The system is configured to record a message from a caller.

〔実施例〕〔Example〕

In the drawings, 1 is a handset. A calling signal (ringing) from an exchange (not shown) is received by the handset 1, and when the called party goes off-hook in response to the ringing signal, a direct call can be made via the handset 1. It has become.

A ring signal detector 2 detects a ring signal received by the handset 1 and sends it to the timing measuring device 3. Note that when the called party takes the handset 1 off-hook, the detection signal to the timing measuring device 3 stops because the ringing signal is aborted. When the timing measuring device 3 receives a signal from the ringing signal detector 2 for a period exceeding a preset time (for example, the time of 5 ringing times), the timing measuring device 3 off-hook the handset 1 as a timing over, and also turns off the message transmitter. Activate 4.

The message transmitter 4 transmits, for example, a message of old age such as "I will call you back, so please let me know your phone number and name" via the handset 1. This message can be stored on magnetic tape or ROM in advance.
The message is recorded and set in the message transmitter 4. Further, in the figure, numeral 5 denotes a message recorder, which records a message sent from a caller in response to the message from the message sender 4 onto a magnetic tape. Note that when a message from the caller is recorded, a display to that effect is displayed on a lamp or the like.

For example, if the called party is at home and can immediately respond to a call signal, the called party can directly off-hook the handset 1 and make a call. In this case, there is no signal sent from the timing measuring device 3, and therefore the message transmitting device 4 does not operate. Such a normal telephone conversation can be carried out with sufficient time if the called party completely takes off-hook the handset within a certain time period preset in the timing measuring device 3.

In addition, if the called party is out of the house or cannot respond to the calling signal within a short time, the message transmitter 4 is activated based on the signal from the timing measuring device 3, and a so-called answering machine function is activated. Therefore, in this case as well, is there an appropriate response according to the situation? You can take it.
