Caller ID Display Caller ID Voice Guidance Device for Wired / Wireless Phones {APPARATUS FOR ANNOUNCING A CID NUMBER BY VOICE MESSAGE IN A CID SERVICE TELEPHONE}

The present invention relates to a caller ID guide device of a caller ID display wired / wireless telephone, and more particularly, to a caller ID display wired / wireless telephone which converts and outputs a caller number received in response to a call. Caller ID guide apparatus.

Recently, a calling party number display service has been provided in Korea. The calling party number is commonly referred to as 'Caller ID', that is, 'CID'.

The CID service is a service according to communication functions, including informing a caller's number, so that the receiver can know who the caller is before receiving the call.

In order to use its service, the receiver must be equipped with a separate telephone with caller ID display.

On the other hand, the CID service is also referred to as automatic number identification, and the receiver can check the phone number of the person making the call over the telephone line before receiving the call through the CID service, thereby protecting the privacy of the receiver. It is widely used in terms of protection of call reception options.

The CID service is delivered to the receiver as data in a format according to the CCITT V.32 protocol. The data includes information about the name, telephone number, or time of the caller. May be included.

However, in spite of the above-described advantages of CID service, it could benefit from the convenience of normal users.

In other words, in the existing caller ID display wired and wireless telephones where the CID service is implemented, the visually impaired users such as the blind person or other users who have poor vision for other reasons did not bring convenience in using the caller ID display.

That is, in the case of the visually impaired, the caller number displayed could not be confirmed, and thus, the caller could not be confirmed who the caller was, and had to suffer inconvenience.

In addition, normal users also had no way of verifying the calling party number when they were remote from the phone.

If you want to check the calling party number according to the incoming call from a distance, you have to approach near the phone, and you have no choice but to check the calling party number displayed on the phone.

In this case, the user needs to check the display unit on the telephone by accessing the telephone when there is an incoming call ring for the incoming call, even if the telephone is not necessary or the telephone should be rejected. There is a inconvenience that must be done.

Therefore, there is a need for a separate caller ID guide device that enables a visually impaired person or a remote user to check a received caller number without directly checking the display unit on the phone.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a caller number voice guidance device of a caller ID display wired / wireless phone which converts a caller number received and displayed according to a call reception into a corresponding voice and outputs it as an audible state. Is in.

In another aspect, an object of the present invention is to provide a caller number voice guidance device of a caller ID display wired and wireless telephone that allows the visually impaired or remote users to more easily and conveniently check the received caller ID.

In the present invention to achieve this purpose;

A calling party number detector for detecting a calling party number corresponding to an incoming call;

A TTS engine for converting the detected caller number into a corresponding voice;

A voice memory for storing a voice guidance message according to the caller number voice guidance;

A voice controller configured to process and output a voice corresponding to the converted caller number as the stored voice guide message;

A speaker amplifier for reproducing and outputting the output voice as an audible state;

The present invention provides a caller ID voice guidance device for a caller ID display wired / wireless telephone, characterized by further comprising a control unit for performing the operation control and the call-related control according to the incoming calls.

The automatic answering unit 230 outputs and stores an outgoing message, which is a guide message for an automatic response, and an incoming message, which is a recorded message. The analog switch 213 The call circuit unit 218 is connected to the call circuit unit 218 through the control of the control unit 223, or records the voice message received from the call circuit unit 218 or reproduces the recorded message as a voice signal. Output to In the implementation of the present invention performs a function of converting the stored caller number or the phone number stored in the absent state into voice and then forwarding it to a predetermined contact.

The codec 231 of the automatic answering function 230 converts the voice signal received in the recording mode into digital data, and converts the digital voice data output in the playback mode into an analog voice signal to the call circuit unit 218. Output

The voice memory 232 records a voice message in a designated area under the control of the voice controller 233 in the recording mode, and outputs a voice message recorded in a designated area under the control of the voice controller 233 in the playback mode. . In addition, the voice guide message is stored according to the caller number guide, and the voice guide message includes a caller number voice-converted according to the implementation of the present invention at the time of reproduction according to the output.

The voice controller 233 compresses and outputs the voice data output from the codec 231 in the recording mode under the control of the controller 223, and outputs the compressed data. The decoded information is decoded and output to the codec 231. The voice controller 233 may use a digital signal processor (DSP) and has a recording table for storing various information of a message recorded therein.

In addition, in the implementation of the present invention, the voice control unit 233 processes the caller number corresponding to the caller number converted through the TTS engine 228 in the voice guidance message stored on the voice memory 232, and outputs it. do.

Accordingly, the fixing device 100 converts the detected caller number into a corresponding voice through the TTS engine 228 when the user requests a request, and converts the converted voice into the corresponding voice. The voice guide message is inserted into a voice guide message stored on the voice memory 232 and output through the speaker amplifier 216.

The insertion state of the voice corresponding to the caller number into the voice announcement message is made as shown in FIG. 4.
