The present invention relates to a memo recording confirmation method, and more particularly to a memo recording confirmation method for detecting the presence or absence of the recording of the memo when sending OGM.

In general, an automatic answering system refers to a system having a function of recording a message left by a call subscriber after sending a response message recorded in advance by a user when a telephone call occurs in an absence. To do this, the user must record an Out-Going Message (hereinafter referred to as "OGM") and automatically set the missed mode when the user is out of the office. Thereafter, when a call is received, the answering system plays the OGM message and automatically performs the answering function. The answering system records an In-Coming Message (hereinafter referred to as " ICM ") generated from the called party. Then, when the user who goes out plays the ICM message by controlling the response system, the user can listen to the messages generated in his or her absent state.

However, when the remote control code is input during the OGM transmission, the automatic response system performs the remote control mode to check the contents of the ICM (or memo). If the remote control code is not input during the OGM transmission, the ICM is recorded.

1 is a block diagram of a general automatic answering system. The key input unit 10 generates key commands and key data for controlling the operation of the telephone by a user.

The central processing unit 20 receives the output of the key input unit 10 to control the overall operation of the phone. The line interface unit 30 is connected to a public telephone network through a telephone line, and interfaces ring signals, tone signals, and call voice signals between the telephone and the public telephone network. The ringer unit 40 has an input terminal connected to the line interface unit 40, and detects a ring signal outputting the line interface unit 40. The ring detection unit 50 is connected to the ringer unit 40 and outputs a ring detection signal to the CPU 20 when receiving a ring signal. The loop relay 60 is connected to the line interface unit 30 to form a voice call path between the telephone and the public telephone network. The communication path unit 70 is connected to the loop relay 60 to process a voice signal and a tone signal at the time of hooking off. The audio unit 80 is connected to the call path unit 70 to receive a voice signal from a public telephone network or to process and receive a voice message. The speaker driver 90 receives the output of the ringer 40 and the audio 80 to generate an audible sound to the speaker 100.

The voice memory 40 records the announcement message and the application message as digital data. The voice processor 130 synthesizes the guide message stored in the voice memory 140 into a voice signal under the control of the central processing unit 20 and outputs the voice signal to the audio 80, and outputs the audio signal to the audio unit 80. The message received from the message is converted into digital data and stored in the voice memory 140. The microphone 150 outputs a voice signal generated from the subscriber to the audio unit 80. The tone decoder 110 decodes the DTMF signal received in connection with the call path unit 70 and digitally outputs the DTMF signal to the CPU 20. The dialing unit 120 converts the telephone number data output from the central processing unit 20 into a DTMF signal and outputs the DTMF signal to the call path unit 150. The display unit 160 displays each state under the control of the CPU 20.

Comparator 170 is connected to the audio unit 80 detects the presence of a voice and outputs it to the central processing unit (20).

FIG. 2 is a flow chart for confirming the presence of a memo at the time of sending a conventional OGM. Referring to FIG. 1-2, the operation of confirming the presence of a memo is described below. In step (2a), the central processing unit 20 performs a ring. In step (2b), if the incoming ring is detected from the detection unit 50 by the designated number of times, it is detected. In step (2b), the OGM step checks whether the remote control code is input from the tone decoder 110, and when the remote control code is input, the remote control function is performed in step (2d). However, if the remote control key is not input in step (2c), check whether the OGM transmission is completed in step (2l). If the OGM transmission is not completed, perform step (2c) again, and if the OGM transmission is completed, step (2f). Do this. In step (2f), the ICM is recorded and returned to the standby state.

As described above, the conventional automatic answering system has a problem in that it is possible to confirm whether the memo is recorded through the display unit only at the place where the set is located, and it is not possible to confirm the memo recording without the remote control.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a memo recording confirmation method for confirming the presence or absence of memo recording by pressing a key for confirming memo recording when sending OGM in an automatic answering system.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The block diagram of the automatic answering system according to the present invention is the same as that of FIG. 1 and the same reference numerals are used.

Recording confirmation alarm sound transmission process for sending an alarm, playback code search process for searching for the presence or absence of input of a play code of recorded memo contents after transmitting a recording confirmation alarm in the recording confirmation alarm sound transmission process, and playing code search When the playback code is input in the process of playing the memo contents playback and sending out, and the memo recording confirmation code is not entered in the memo recording confirmation code search process or the memo contents recorded in the memo contents playback process After the remote control code is input, the remote control function performing a remote control function, and if the memo recording confirmation code is not input and the remote control code is not input, the ICM recording to record the ICM after the end of OGM transmission The process takes place.

One preferred embodiment based on the above-described configuration will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3.

When a ring signal input to the tip T ring R terminal is applied to the ringer unit 40 through the line interface 30, the ringer unit 40 detects the ring signal. The ring signal detected by the ringer 40 is applied to the speaker driver 90 to ring the ring signal through the speaker 100 and to the ring detector 50.

The ring detection unit 50 outputs a ring detection signal to the central processing unit 20. Therefore, if the ring signal is received in step (3a), the CPU 20 proceeds to step (3b). In step (3b), the central processing unit 20 reads the OGM from the voice memory 140, and the voice processing unit 130 → audio unit 80 → call path unit 70 → loop relay 60 → The call is sent to the caller through the path of the line interface unit 30.

At this time, in step (3C), the central processing unit 20 detects whether the password for confirming the memo recording is input from the key input unit 10, and if the password is not entered, proceeds to step (3l) and if the password is input ( Go to step 3d). In step (3d), the central processing unit 20 checks the memo recording flag and detects whether memo recording is performed. If the memo recording flag is set to " 1 ", recording is performed. If the memo recording flag is set to " 0, " At this time, if the recording is in the state proceeds to step (3e) the central processing unit 20 voice memorandum recording information stored in the internal memory (for example, Beep sound or voice information "memory recording") voice The processor 130 is sent to the telephone line via the path of the processing unit 130 → audio unit 80 → loop relay 60 → line interface 30 and proceeds to step 3g.

However, if it is not recorded, go to step (3f) and the voice memo recording information (e.g. Beep sound or voice information "not memo recording") to the voice processing unit 130 → audio unit 80 → it is sent to the telephone line via the route of the loop relay 60 to the line interface 30, and the flow proceeds to step 3j. In step (3g), the central processing unit 20 checks whether a memo content playback key is input from the key input unit 10, and if the memo content playback key is not input, proceeds to step (3j) and plays back the memo contents. If key is input, go to step (3h). In step (3h), the memo stored in the voice memory 140 is reproduced by the central processing unit 3h, and the voice processing unit 130 → audio unit 80 → call circuit 70 → loop relay 60 is performed. ) → The line interface 130 is sent to the telephone line via the path and proceeds to step (3i). In step (3i), the central processing unit 20 checks whether the playback of the memo is completed. If the playback is not completed, step (3h) is performed again. If the playback is completed, the processing proceeds to step (3j).

In step (3j), the central processing unit 20 checks whether the remote control code (password) is input, and if the remote control code is input through the tip (T) ring (R) terminal, the line interface 30 → loop relay ( 60) is applied to the central processing unit 20 through the path of the call path unit 70 → tone decoder 110. At this time, the central processing unit 20 proceeds to step (3k) and the contents corresponding to the remote control stored in the voice memory 40 by the input remote control code, voice processing unit 130 → audio unit 80 A call control unit 70 performs a remote control function to transmit the call to the caller through the path of the call relay unit 70, the loop relay 60, and the line interface unit 30.

In step (3j), the remote control code is not input, and the process proceeds to step (3n). If the password for confirming the memo recording is not input in step (3c), proceed to step (3l) and check whether the remote control code is input. If the remote control code is input, go to step (3k) and the remote code If no input, go to step (3m). In step (3m), if the OGM transmission is completed in step (3m), and if the OGM transmission is not completed, perform step (3b) again; if the OGM transmission is completed and end, in step (3n) The central processing unit 20 inputs the ICM inputted through the tip (T) ring (R) terminal to the line interface unit 30 → the loop relay 60 → the call path unit 70 → the audio unit 80 → the audio processing unit. The memory 130 is stored in the voice memory 140 and returned to the stand-by state.

As described above, in the automatic response system, the user can detect the state of memo recording by pressing the key for confirming memo recording during OGM transmission, and can also play the memo contents and check the memo recording status without remote control and record the recording. Has the advantage of being able to identify specific content.
