4 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure for illustrating a trunk line automatic response process in the first embodiment of the present invention.

The trunk line automatic response process is for the user of the multifunction telephone 100 to send a guide message to the sender while going out and perform a predetermined service. To this end, the user of the multifunction phone 100 inputs the CO line automatic response execution key of the input unit 108 when going out or when performing the CO line automatic response process. When this key is input, the control unit 108 of the multifunction telephone 100 transmits data to the central processing unit 201 of the computer 200 for automatic response. The computer control unit 201 transmits data to the multifunction processor 202. ) To prepare to handle the CO line automatic response service according to a predetermined procedure (S401).

When such a composite function process 202 is in a ready state, when a call signal from an external telephone is requested (S402), the telephone ring detection circuit 102 of the composite function telephone 100 detects a telephone ring signal and controls the control unit 109. In step S403, the control unit 109 transmits the call to the computer central processing unit 201, and the composite function process 202 counts the ringing tone. At this time, when the number set by the program, for example, three times ringing, the multifunction process 202 causes the central processing unit 201 to cause the phone control unit 109 to make the external phone 400 and the multifunction phone 100 While transmitting a control signal to form a call between (S404), the voice response drive process 204 reads the data to form a specific guide message stored in the voice guide storage unit 205 to the sound card ( The phone 210 converts the guide message data into a voice signal and transmits the voice message data to the multifunction telephone 100 to transmit the voice signal from the speech network unit 101 of the multifunction telephone 100 to the external telephone network. It transmits to the sender of (S405). At this time, the voice guidance message, for example, "I'm out now, so I can't answer the phone, so press 1 to leave a message, leave a voice message when you hear a beep, and leave 2 to leave the phone number to receive. If you hear a beep, press the phone number you want to receive, press 3 if you want to connect to the Internet phone, or press 4 to leave the phone number to contact the Internet phone. ” It can bring various changes according to the set state and setting state. According to the voice message, the sender of the external telephone 400 hears the voice message and presses the corresponding dial (S406). For example, when the user presses the number 1, the sender of the external telephone 400 is inputted to the control unit 108, and finally, the computer composite. A confirmation dial tone, for example, a beep, is transmitted from the function process 202 to the external telephone 400. At this time, there may be various changes depending on the set procedure such as other messages instead of the beep (S407). When such a confirmation dial tone is received by the external telephone 400, the sender inputs a voice message, and the voice message is eventually stored in the computer 200 via the multifunction telephone 100 (S408). The same also applies to the process of leaving a phone number (S408) (409). After such a storing process, the box 103 detects a state in which the voice call is not made for a predetermined time and transmits it to the control unit 109. The control unit 109 transmits the state to the computer central processing unit 201 for an automatic response process. End the call state of the multifunction phone 100, while returning to the ready state again (S410), (S411), (S412).

5 is a flowchart illustrating an operation process according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

Although a telephone call can be made between computers through the Internet, this is simply because the computer 200 and the external computer 300 are connected to the Internet, and thus, the external phone 400 and the external computer 300 are connected to the Internet phone. It cannot be connected. In particular, when the user of the multifunction telephone 100 is out, it is very difficult to connect to the Internet phone. In the present embodiment, the user of the multifunction telephone 100 goes out and connects the multifunction telephone 100 and the computer 200 by dialing to the multifunction telephone 100 using a public telephone network from another outside. The computer 200 and other computers are connected to each other and eventually connected to the outside and the Internet phone through the multifunction phone 100 even when not in use. At this time, the other telephone may be a general external telephone 400, and may be possible if it can be connected to the composite function telephone 100 through a public telephone line, such as a public telephone, a mobile phone.

When the user presses the composite function key to perform a function when the user of the composite function phone 100 is absent, the computer 200 is in a standby state capable of performing a composite function as in S401 of FIG. 4, and S402 and S403. , The same process of S404, S405. It is assumed that a user of the multifunction telephone 100 goes out and makes a phone call to the Internet phone using the computer 200 via the multifunction telephone 100 with his mobile phone. In this case, the voice message transmitted to the mobile phone in step S405, for example, I am now out, so I can not answer the call, so if you want to leave a message, press 1, if you hear a beep, leave a voice message and receive the call If you want to leave a number, press 2 and then press the number you want to receive when you hear a beep. If you want to connect to an Internet phone, press 3, and press 4 to leave the phone number to be contacted by an Internet phone. Send a voice message to your phone. In response to the third being input from the mobile phone (S501), the multifunction processor 202 of the computer 200 controls the central processing unit 201 to perform the Internet phone connection in a certain order. In the central processing unit 201, the voice response drive processor 204 first reads the message " Please enter the password " stored in the voice guidance storage unit 205 and transmits the message to the mobile phone via the multifunction phone 100. In operation S502, when a password is input from the mobile phone (S503), it is checked whether or not the password matches the previously stored password in the phone number storage unit 207 (S504). When the password is confirmed as described above, the phone number input request message is transmitted to the mobile phone via the multifunction phone 100 (S505). When the telephone number is input to the multifunction telephone 100 from the mobile phone (S506), the multifunction processor 202 controls the central processing unit and sends the call to an external computer or an external telephone corresponding to the telephone number entered through the Internet to the call path. To form (S507, S508), the mobile phone and the external computer or to make a call over the Internet during the mobile phone and the external telephone period (S509), when the call sound is not detected further in the box 103 of the multifunction phone 100 At S510, the Internet phone is terminated, the multifunction processor 202 is switched to the standby state, and the telephone line is blocked (S511).

6 is a flowchart of a third embodiment of the present invention.

When the Internet phone is received by the computer 200, the present embodiment connects the user of the multifunction telephone 100 that is absent through a public telephone network so that the Internet phone can be used even when the user is absent.

When the user of the multifunction telephone 100 enters the multifunction key for absence, the computer switches to the standby state as in the process of S401. In this case, when the Internet phone via the Internet is received from the computer 200 (S601), the central processing unit 201 performs the Internet phone trunk line connection function to the multi-function processor 202. The multi-function processor 202 controls the multi-function phone 100 to make a trunk line connection in the control unit 109 of the multi-function phone 100, and the box 103 detects a trunk line connection beep and detects a beep sound. In step 109, the sensing state is transmitted to the multifunction processor 202 (S602). When receiving the detection state from the multifunction processor 202, the central processing unit 201 reads the phone number stored in the phone number storage unit 206, converts the DTMF signal from the multifunction phone 100, and converts it into a trunk line switch. In step S603 and S604, a call path is formed from the stored phone number (S605). When the call is detected, it detects the ringback tone signal to cut off the telephone line (S606), (S607), shuts down the Internet phone, and switches the computer to the state of performing a composite function (S608). When the call path is normally formed (S609), the external computer and the computer 200 are connected to the Internet, and the multifunction telephone 100 relays the call during the external call period of the phone number stored in the computer 200. By forming, the call is made to the Internet phone during the external computer and the external telephone period (S610). The box 103 of the multifunction phone 100 detects the end of the call and, when the call is terminated (S611), blocks the Internet phone (S608) and blocks the trunk line (S612). In addition, the phone number to be received by the Internet phone can be changed from outside, that is, outside.

When the Internet phone is received in the computer 200, when the telephone number to be received is to be changed from the outside, as shown in FIG. 5, the steps S401 to S405 are performed to transmit the voice guidance message. If the number 4 is pressed through the external telephone at (S701), the composite function processor 202 performs the telephone number change process according to the procedure. First, the central processing unit 201 drives the voice response drive process 204 to read the voice message " Please input the password " It transmits to an external telephone (S702). If a password is input from the external telephone (S703), it is checked whether it matches the password stored in the telephone number storage unit 206 (S704). If the password is confirmed, the voice guidance message "Sell the phone number to be changed" is sent from the voice guidance storage unit 205 (S705). In response to the telephone number to be changed is input from the external telephone, and is input to the computer 200 through the multifunction phone 100, the changed telephone number is recognized and stored as a new telephone number to be connected to the Internet phone (S706), (707). When the phone number to be changed is stored as described above, the voice synthesis process 204 synthesizes the voice number, transmits the voice number to an external telephone, and confirms by inputting a specific key (S708). The phone number is confirmed by the synthesized voice signal as described above, and if it is corrected, the telephone number change process is terminated by pressing the specific key.

In addition, voice data may be stored in the voice guidance storage unit 205 and may be converted into a voice signal by the voice response processor 204. However, the voice data may be text forming data. ) Can be converted into voice data forming a voice signal. These can be said to be variations in the context of the present invention.
