Description

Answering machine with time reservation message receiving and delivery function and its operation method

The present invention relates to an answering machine having an incoming message recording and forwarding function and a method of operating the same. In particular, an answering machine having an incoming call recording and forwarding function is required to call a predetermined information provider when a scheduled time comes. An answering machine for receiving a voice message and delivering it to the user and a method of operating the same.

In general, the answering machine implements a recording and forwarding function of an incoming message. That is, when the user sets a predetermined outing function when the user goes out, the user records a voice message transmitted through the telephone from outside and the user records the voice message afterwards by making an external call or directly operating the answering machine. You can check through In addition, the automatic answering function is applied to a cordless telephone as well as a landline telephone.

In order to know the desired information provided in the voice message through the telephone service, the user who uses the answering machine calls the information provider providing the information through the telephone to listen to the information, or to the answering machine. The only way to store the information is by using the simultaneous recording function. In addition, when the user is absent, there is a problem that the user has to call the information provider directly to get the information from the destination. In the case of general information, it can be obtained through the above-mentioned method, but in case of important information that needs to be recorded, it is necessary to store it. When the user goes out of an emergency, the information cannot be stored using the answering machine. There was a problem.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to answer a predetermined time in a pre-scheduled answering machine having an incoming message recording and forwarding function, receive and store necessary voice message information, and store the received voice message information. To provide an answering machine and its operation method delivered to the.

In order to achieve the above object, in an answering machine having a function of recording and transmitting an incoming message, when a predetermined time is reserved in advance, the telephone number stored in the answering machine is dialed and a voice message is received in response thereto. An answering machine for recording and transmitting a received voice message and a method of operating the same are proposed.

2 is an operational flowchart illustrating a method of operating an answering machine having a function of recording and delivering a received message according to the present invention;

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

1 is a block diagram of an answering machine having an incoming message recording and forwarding function according to the present invention.

Referring to Figure 1, the central processing unit 100 controls the overall operation of the answering machine by the control program stored in the memory unit 122. The line interface and the call path 110 interface various tone signals, ring signals, and voice signals under the control of the CPU 100. In addition, the voice input unit 112 and the voice output unit 114 are connected to the codec 104 through the switching unit 106 under the control of the central processing unit 100 to connect the switching unit. The switching unit 106 forms or blocks a call path between the line interface and the call path 110 and the phone line. The voice input unit 112 is configured as a microphone or a transmitter to convert a voice signal generated from the subscriber into an electrical signal. The voice output unit 114 includes a speaker or a handset to convert an electrical signal into a voice signal to generate an audible sound. The codec 104, the voice processing unit 120, and the voice storage unit 118 actually perform the automatic answering function of the phone, and record and play back voice messages. The voice processor 120 is generally implemented by DSP (Digital Signal Processing), and processes the digital signal input and output to the codec 104 under the control of the CPU 100, and at the same time under the control of the CPU 100 Reads and plays back an OGM and an audio message stored in 118. In addition, it stores predetermined data provided from the voice processor 120. The memory unit 122 is a control program of the central processing unit 100 and program data required for speech analysis and synthesis processing in the voice processing unit 120 and a designated time designated by the user and the designated time under the control of the central processing unit 100. When this happens, it automatically stores the dialed phone number. In general, the memory unit 122 is implemented by using EEPROM. The clock function provided to detect and reserve the specified time is performed at clock clock 124. The key input unit 102 generates key commands and key data for controlling the operation of the answering machine, and includes a numeric key and a function key to allow the user to set the reservation designation time and register a telephone number of an information provider. To help. The display unit 116 displays the overall operating state of the answering machine. The ring signal detector 108 detects a ring signal received through the telephone line and provides the ring signal to the CPU 100.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating an answering machine having a function of recording and delivering a received message according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the CPU 122 determines whether a reservation time is set in step 202. The reservation time refers to the time when the answering machine user wants to receive information from an information provider and is set by time information generated by the clock clock 124. If it is determined in step 202 that the reservation time is set, it is determined in step 203 whether the telephone number of the information provider is registered in the memory 122. If the phone number is registered, it is determined in step 204 whether the reservation recording function is set. That is, when the reservation time arrives, it is determined whether a function of automatically dialing the registered telephone number of the information provider to receive and store voice message information transmitted from the information provider is set. If it is determined in step 204 that the reserved recording function is set, the clock clock 124 is operated in step 206. In step 208, it is determined whether the reservation time of step 202 is reached. When the reservation time is reached by the clock clock 124 in step 210, the registered telephone number of step 203 is dialed. When a call is made with the information provider by the dialing operation, it is determined in step 212 whether there is a voice message sent from the information provider, and the voice message is stored in the voice storage unit 118 in step 214. When the storing process is finished, that is, when all necessary voice message information is sent from the information provider, it is determined in step 216 whether the reception message delivery function is set. If it is determined in step 216 that the reception message delivery function is set, the reception message delivery function is performed in step 217. If it is determined in step 216 that the reception message delivery function is not set, the process ends. In addition, if the reservation time is not set in step 202, the phone number is not registered in step 203, the reservation recording function is not set in step 204, or there is no voice message input in step 212. The processes are terminated after performing the standby state.

As described above, the present invention has an advantage that the answering machine user can automatically store the important information provided through the telephone service at a desired time according to the user's personality and life pattern.

In addition, the stored information can be confirmed through the reception message transmission function of the answering machine at the destination when going out, there is an advantage to facilitate the user's convenience.
