A telephone having an emergency automatic reporting function according to the present invention for realizing the above object comprises a voice input unit for inputting a voice signal, a codec for encoding the voice signal, and a digital signal for processing the digital signal input and output through the codec according to a predetermined control signal. A telephone having a signal processing processor and a DTMF generating circuit for generating a DTMF signal according to a predetermined control, comprising: an emergency number storing unit storing data of a telephone number to be contacted according to an emergency, and a basis for determining an emergency The emergency judgment data storage unit that stores the voice signal as data, the emergency message storage unit which stores the information message to inform the emergency situation, and when the voice signal is input, whether the emergency situation is based on the input voice signal. If it is judged that it is an emergency, dial the emergency number and it is an emergency. A controller for sending an emergency message, the control is characterized in that configured.

In addition, the emergency automatic report method of the telephone according to the present invention, the operation standby step for controlling the input of the voice signal through the voice input unit for inputting the voice signal, the voice input step for determining whether the voice signal is input, the input Input voice check step to check whether the voice signal corresponds to the set voice data, emergency number dialing step to read the phone number if there is the same voice data to execute dialing, if the call connection is made by dialing Characterized in that it comprises an emergency message sending step of sending the emergency message.

That is, according to the present invention having the above-described configuration, if a voice signal is input from a phone capable of voice recognition, the inputted voice signal is checked to determine whether the voice signal corresponds to an emergency situation, and if the corresponding emergency situation exists. Dial the phone number, and when the call is established, the emergency message is sent.

Therefore, when an emergency situation occurs automatically report the situation will greatly improve its convenience.

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

Figure 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a telephone having an emergency automatic report function according to an embodiment of the present invention, the same reference numerals are attached to the same parts as the configuration of Figure 2 shown in the description thereof will be omitted.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 21 denotes an emergency number storage unit in which a telephone number to be contacted according to an emergency is stored as data, for example, "119" for a fire occurrence and "112" for a stolen accident, and 22 for determining an emergency. The voice signal that is the basis, for example, a fire occurrence is "fire! Fire!", Theft accident is "thief! Thief!" Is stored in the emergency judgment data storage unit 23, the information message to inform the emergency situation For example, in case of a fire, "fire has occurred. 123-45 Cheongdam-dong Samsung Apartment operation 602" is an emergency message storage that stores data.

Reference numeral 24 denotes a codec (CODEC: Coder-DECoder) for encoding the voice signal read out from the emergency message storage unit 23 or the voice signal applied from the network circuit 7, and 25 denotes a predetermined control signal. Accordingly, a digital signal processor (DSP) 26, which processes digital signals input and output through the codec 24, determines whether an emergency situation is based on the input voice signal when an audio signal is input. If it is determined that the emergency number is executed after dialing the microprocessor for controlling the emergency message corresponding to the emergency situation.

Next, the operation of the device having the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 3.

First, the microprocessor 26 normally controls the speakerphone driver 15 so that a voice signal is input through the microphone 8a of the voice input unit 8 so that the voice signal can be input at any time. (ST1 stage).

In the operation standby state in which the voice signal is input through the voice input unit 8 as described above, when the voice signal is input through the microphone 8a of the voice input unit 8 by the shouting of people around the phone (step ST2). This input voice signal is converted into a digital signal through the codec 24 and then applied to the DSP 25, and the DSP 25 applies the applied voice data to the microprocessor 26.

Subsequently, the microprocessor 26 that receives the voice data checks whether the input voice data corresponds to the voice data stored in the emergency judgment data storage 22 (step ST3).

Therefore, when voice data such as input voice data is stored in the emergency determination data storage unit 22 (step ST4), the microprocessor 26 stores the telephone number data corresponding to the voice data in the emergency number storage. It reads from the part 21 (ST5 step).

Then, the DTMF signal corresponding to the read number data is generated through the DTMF generation circuit 14 to be sent to the trunk line (step ST6).

Subsequently, when a call connection is made (step ST7), the microprocessor 26 controls the DSP 25 to read out the corresponding emergency message corresponding to the number data called from the emergency message storage unit 23 and the codec 24. After converting into an analog signal through the CO line transmission control (ST8 step).

On the other hand, when the voice signal is not input through the microphone 8a of the voice input unit 8 and the ring signal is detected through the ring signal detection unit 2 in the step ST2 (ST9 step), the microprocessor 26 The ring generator 3 outputs a ringing tone. Subsequently, the process ends after the normal control process related to the telephone call (ST10).

That is, according to the embodiment, when an emergency situation occurs around the phone and a voice signal is input through the voice input unit of the phone, the emergency situation is determined based on this, the dialing is performed to the corresponding phone number, and the emergency message is sent. Will be automatically reported.

In addition, this invention is not limited to the said Example, It can variously deform and implement within the range which does not deviate from the technical summary of this invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, a telephone having an emergency automatic report function capable of reporting a situation by executing a dialing to a corresponding telephone number after determining an emergency situation based on a voice signal input at the time of an emergency situation and its The method can be realized.
