"Message" literally means only leaving a sound signal, but because ",,, and far away" has been used by the public, and another innovative term is easy to make mistakes. Although the video telephone answering machine of the present invention records Like the instructions, the word "message" is still used. Another point of this manual: and listening, that is, interpreting the video signal and audio signal. The near-end user record is kept f ^ ^ ΓΩ 4. Human video and audio signals. Once: the user stores it after the U-wheel of the turn-in device. In storage failure: elephants and vocals say that a remote user calls from 12 signal processing devices and the answering machine 10 automatically responds. , $ ^ When the user does not respond, the video call and the voice stand will be overwritten by the near-end user and stored in the storage device 15. After ... then the interface device 411 is sent to the remote remote user record to keep t 眭, 丨 ,, the user's video phone 16 = interface setting 1 1 received by the remote processing device 12 and stored in the storage wear; 7 and the sound signal '15 is set by the near-end user to listen to the far-end signal. Store in storage

The video and audio signals of device 15 are stored in output two when the recorded messages are recorded, and output is provided to provide near: when the near-end user checks the messages after processing by device 12, "556427 V. Description of invention (4) 1 5 After the audio signal is processed by the signal processing device, it is output by the output device 14 to provide for near-end users to read. The signal processing performed by the signal processing device 12 may include: converting analog signals to digital signals (analog- to-digital (D / A for short), converting digital signals to analog-to-analog (A / D), compression, decompress. Because of the huge amount of information in video and audio signals, Generally speaking, the recorded messages are compressed and then stored, and the stored messages read and uncompressed are then unrolled.

The messages input by the input device 13 and the telephone interface device 11 are video and audio signals, which are compressed by the signal processing device 12 and stored by the storage device 15. The messages stored in the storage device 15 are decompressed by the signal processing device 12 and output by the output device 14 for the near-end user to read, or the telephony interface device 11 transmits the video call 16 to the remote user.

The input device 13 includes an image input unit and a sound input unit.
