And a fourth step of receiving the response message of the other party and a fourth step of canceling and returning the reserved automatic calling information which has been performed for the first time.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described an embodiment of the present invention;

1 is a block diagram of an automatic call apparatus according to the present invention, which includes a key input unit 1, a number signal switching unit 2, a telephone key input unit 3, a microcomputer 4, and a coding unit 5 And a display section 6, a filter / decoder section 7, an image recording section 8, a recording and playback section 9, a telephone circuit section 10, and a switch SW.

As shown in the figure, the microcomputer 4 is equipped with a program for performing an automatic calling function to perform the overall function related to the automatic calling, the key input unit 1 of the microcomputer key that is the input means of the microcomputer 4 The operation signal is transmitted, and the telephone key input unit 3 transmits the numeric key input of the telephone, and the number signal switching unit 2 outputs the number signal output from the telephone key input unit 3 and the microcomputer 4. The number signal to be switched under the control of the microcomputer 4, the number signal output from the number signal switching unit 2 is converted into a code that can be transmitted on the telephone line by the coding unit 5, the telephone circuit unit 10, the filter / decoder unit 7 filters and encodes only the midtone and the ring tone among the signals received through the telephone circuit unit 10, and inputs the same to the microcomputer 4.

The recording and reproducing section 9 is connected under the control of the microcomputer 4 to record a user's delivery message or a transmission message received from the other party or to reproduce and output the recorded message by voice, and the display section 6 displays the microcomputer. (4) is connected to receive the display control signal from the set mode when setting the current time or the function mode, the image recording section 8 is controlled by the microcomputer 4 and the display section 6 Record the output of).

The detailed operation of the present invention having the configuration as described above is as follows.

When the operation signal of the calling mode key is input through the key input unit 1, the microcomputer 4 stops all the operations in the normal mode through the operation control line and moves to the stop mode, in which the display unit 6 Clear all of the display and display the set state of the call mode as shown in Table 1.

TABLE 1

If the clock setting is designated in the above screen display state and the ENTER key is pressed among the keys, the mode shifts to the current time setting mode. Each number representing the time is selected by using the +,-or numeric key or the enter key among the microcomputer keys.

When OGM REC mode is specified, the microphone input from the outside is recorded in the recording and playback section, and the recording time display can also be controlled.

When the recording is completed by the Enter key or the limited time while the OGM recording mode is being executed, the operation moves to the OGM SET mode. If you move to OGM setting mode, the screen displays as shown in Table 2.

TABLE 2

In the screen, Tel No. is the counterpart's phone number that will output OGM, and START is the initial start time of making a call. If blank is pressed, the current time is recorded.

END is the time to stop the call automatically. INTERVAL is a period of time during which a call is retried when a call is rejected and this time is a period when the other party does not answer the call, and during a call, a fixed short time regardless of the period setting time (for example, Retry the call within 3 to 5 minutes). At this time, the detection of the busy state and the state of not answering the call is detected by the filter / decoder unit 7 and input to the microcomputer 4.

OGM SET can be set as well as several. In other words, after the first completion of the OGM setting, the screen returns to the initial selection mode, which is repeated when the OGM REC mode is designated again.

Alternatively, when sending the same message to another party at a different time, if the OGM SET mode is specified without performing OGM REC in the SELECT mode, the previous OGM recorded signal is set to the second OGM. Is output in time. An example is illustrated below.

[Example 1]

In the case of Example 1), the message of OGM REC 1 is transmitted at the time of CLOCK 1, and the message of OGM REC 2 is transmitted at the time of CLOCK 2.

[Example 2]

In the case of Example 2), a uniform OGM REC 1 message is called in CLOCK 1 and CLOCK 2.

When OGM setting is completed, move to SELECT mode again. At this time, if you specify END), it will wait in calling mode.

When the review mode is selected, the display of the display section 6 becomes the OGM setting screen, and the microcomputer 4 searches for and plays the index part in the index mode, in which the order is OGM setting number order. It is done.

On the other hand, the canceling of the calling mode, i.e., erasing the contents of the memory in the microcomputer 4, is performed when there is no OGM recording, when there is an EJECT command input, when there is no OGM setting, or the like.

In addition, the release of the standby state of the call mode is performed when there is a call mode release key tick and when the CLOCK SET mode is not specified other than the case of the call mode release.

When the telephone is connected and the OGM is output after the automatic calling function is executed, the output time is memorized.After the completion of the output, the recording tape of the recording and reproducing section 9 is blank to record the message of the other party. After moving to, it records until there is no voice input from the other party. At this time, the video recording is performed by OSD processing the connection time and the connected telephone number.

Clearing of the corresponding OGM number may be performed at each review (REVlEW) or at the time of set.

The automatic calling function described so far will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

2 is a flowchart of a process relating to a control method of an automatic calling apparatus according to the present invention, which is performed by a control program mounted on the microcomputer 4.

In step S11, it is detected whether a command for performing an automatic call function is input. If there is not much input, it is detected in step S12 whether there is a key input related to call mode setting. If there is no key input related to the call mode setting, the system returns to the first time, and if there is a current time and OGM record and OGM setting contents are set (step S13), the calling angle is stored and the state is returned to the beginning (step S14).

As a result of the determination, when a command to perform the automatic calling function is input, as it is set to an operable state (step S15), it is compared whether the reservation time of the fastest automatic calling reservation information is the same as the current time (step S16). .

If the result of the comparison is not the same, it returns to the beginning, and if it is the same, after controlling the state of outputting the number signal of the microcomputer 4 to the state of the number signal switching unit 2 (step S17), the first reserved automatic calling information is added. Dialing is performed by the number signal by the microcomputer 4 (step S18).

After the dialing, a signal input through the telephone line is determined (step S19). In the case of the ring tone, if the input signal is not changed so that the ring tone is received up to 10 times by counting the number of ring tones, the period is added to the set time (INTERVAL). Reset and return the state of the number signal switching section 2 to the beginning (steps S20 to S22).

If the input signal is a busy tone, it is determined that the call is busy, and a certain time (for example, 5 minutes) is added to the set time and set again, and the state of the number signal switching unit 2 is returned and returned to the beginning (step S23). .

When the state signal connected to the call is input while receiving the ring tone, the call connection time and the phone number are stored (step S24), the reserved OGM is output and the output time is displayed on the display unit 6 to be recorded (step S24). S25). When all of the recorded messages are output to the recording and reproducing section 9 (step S26), the recording tape is moved until a blank area comes out, the beep sound is transmitted, and then the voice of the call counterpart is received and recorded ( Steps S27, S28).

When the voice of the other party is received, the corresponding OGM is erased and the state of the number signal switching unit 2 is returned and returned to the beginning (steps S29 to S31).

Therefore, the present invention made up of the above configuration and processing procedure is urgently needed to communicate, even if the other party is busy or absent condition is not allowed or the user is difficult to retry the call can effectively send and receive messages It has an effect.
