BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a message message confirmation number display device of an automatic answering device, and more particularly, to a message reception number confirmation device that can easily check the number of incoming calls in a dark place and the number of incoming calls of the visually impaired.

The message receiving number display device added to the conventional answering device sends a response message that has been pre-recorded when there is a missed call from the other party, and then records the message of the other party and then stops the deck for driving the message recording tape. The number of incoming calls is accumulated in the CPU. The accumulated number of incoming calls is displayed as the LED blinks according to the user's operation displayed or returned through the digital display.

However, in order to check the number of incoming calls, the user who returned to the place where the answering machine was installed had to carefully look at the number of incoming call display devices along with the surrounding lighting, and especially the visually impaired people had no choice.

According to the present invention, identification of the number of message incoming calls can be identified not only visually but also acoustically, thereby providing convenience to the answering machine user.

The present invention is a beep sound generation selection switch detection unit, a microprocessor for transmitting the accumulated number of incoming calls according to the confirmation signal input of the switch detection unit, and amplification by receiving the output signal of the tone generation unit The signal controller is configured to include a signal amplification unit that outputs a beep sound at a predetermined interval in the answering machine.

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

As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention is controlled by a CO line connection terminal 10, a ring detection unit 12 that detects a ring signal and provides it to the microprocessor 30, and is controlled by the microprocessor 30. Signals from the trunk line control unit 14, the microphone 16, the message and response message heads 18 and 20, which connect and disconnect the answering device and the trunk line, are amplified to the microprocessor 30, the speaker 24, and the trunk line. A display unit 38 including a signal amplifier 26, a display 34, and an LED 36, which are controlled by the output of the accumulated number of incoming calls of the microprocessor 30, and the message and response message deck controller 42; And a deck control unit 44 including 44, and a signal detection switch detection unit 40 for selecting a beep display.

The signal amplifying section 26 is further provided with the output of the tone generating section 28 controlled by the incoming accumulating output of the microprocessor 30 and the output of the signal control section 32 having a function as a signal separation buffer. Is connecting.

Referring to the operation and effects of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

It demonstrates based on FIG. 1 and FIG. When a ring signal is input through the trunk line connecting terminal 10, the ring detector 12 detects the ring signal and notifies the microprocessor 30. Accordingly, the microprocessor 30 operates the trunk line control unit 14 so that the response message passing through the signal amplifier unit 26 is transmitted to the telephone line.

Prior to this, the microprocessor 30 drives the response message deck controller 44 of the deck controller 46 to detect the response message signal from the response message head 20 of the deck 22.

After the transmission of the response message and the message comes with the recording signal, the microprocessor 30 outputs the message message deck control unit 42 driving signal to the signal amplifier 26 and the trunk line control unit 14 and the trunk line connection terminal The user's message coming through 10 is recorded on the message message recording tape using the message message head 18, and the microprocessor 30 accumulates the number of incoming calls.

The accumulated number of incoming calls is expressed in time on the display 34 or the LED 36 on the display unit 38.

At this time, when the selection signal is input from the switch detection unit 40 through a user-selected switch operation, the microprocessor 30 outputs the number of incoming calls to the tone generator 28, and the tone generator 28 is a microprocessor ( The tone sound is output to the signal amplifier 26 based on the output signal of 30).

At this time, the signal control unit 32 controls the tone sound amplified and output from the signal amplification unit 26. As shown in FIG. 3, three pulses having a width of 500 mW are repeatedly controlled at 5 second intervals. A beep sound such as "beep, beep, beep, ..." is output from the speaker 24.

Therefore, regardless of illuminance or illumination of the place where the answering machine is installed, it can be seen that the number of incoming calls is counted at a predetermined interval.

The flowchart of the operation description so far is shown in FIG.

As described above, the present invention provides an effect of easily confirming the number of incoming calls of the answering machine in a dark place by adding a simple operation switch to the basic answering device without adding a special circuit.

This invention is particularly suitable for the visually impaired.
