Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically transmit a message which has previously been stored to respective originating opposites by providing a control part which sequentially reads the signals of dial numbers from a dial number memory part so as to transmit them to a line them and which reads electric signals from a sound accumulation part so as to output them to the line whenever connection is attained with the opposite destination in respective dial numbers. CONSTITUTION:When a user instructs the control part 5 of continuous origination by a prescribed operation in a state that a function part 100 and the line are connected by a switching circuit 8, the control part 5 reads the first dial number from the memory part 4 and outputs the dial signal to the line through a transmission reception circuit 6. When connection with the originating opposite is recognized, a sound signal is read from the sound accumulation part 2 and it is outputted to the line through the transmission reception circuit 6. When the control part 5 output the dial signal to the line, said part 5 simultaneously outputs it to a dial number display part 7 so as to cause it to display the dial number for informing the user of the number. When there is a response from the opposite with respect to the transmission of the message, the control part 5 receives it through the transmission reception part 6, and stores it in the sound accumulation part 2.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a telephone set, and more particularly to a telephone set that automatically calls and sends messages to a plurality of predetermined parties in sequence.

[Conventional technology]

For example, when a conventional answering machine receives a call, it can automatically send a pre-recorded message to the called party.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, this type of telephone cannot automatically call and send messages to multiple predetermined parties one after another. If a telephone with such a function were available, it would save a lot of time and effort, for example, when a housewife or an officer of a neighborhood association needs to send the same message to many people over the phone. It can be reduced and is very convenient.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a telephone that can automatically call a plurality of pre-specified parties in sequence and send a pre-stored message to each party.

[Means to solve the problem]

The telephone of the present invention has a message input section that converts voice into an electrical signal and outputs it, a voice storage section that stores the electrical signal output by the message human power section, and a voice storage section that indicates a dial number when a predetermined operation is performed. A dial input section that outputs signals; a dial number memory section that stores multiple dial numbers by capturing the signals output from the dial input section; and a dial number memory section that sequentially reads dial number signals from the dial number memory section and connects the line. and a control section that reads the electrical signal from the audio storage section and outputs it to the line each time a connection is made to a destination of each dialed number.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of a telephone according to the present invention. In the figure, a functional unit 100 is a part particularly related to the present invention.

The message input section 1 is for inputting messages to be sent to a plurality of recipients, and converts human input voice into electrical signals and outputs them. The voice storage section 2 receives and records the electric signal of the voice from the message input section 1 of the computer.

The continuous dial input section 3 is used to input the dial number of the calling party, and when a predetermined operation is performed, it outputs a signal of the dial number based on the operation. Dial number memory section 4 receives and stores the signal from the dial. The memory section 4 has a storage capacity for a plurality of dial numbers.

The dial signal/voice transmitting/receiving circuit 6 sends dial signals and voice signals to the general subscriber line through the switching circuit 8 that switches between the functional unit 100 or the transmitting/receiving circuit 9 and the general subscriber line, and also transmits these signals. is received from the line.

The dial number display section 7 is for displaying the dial number of the party to whom the message is being sent.

The dial signal/voice transmission/reception control section 5 transmits the transmission/reception circuit 6 based on the dial number stored in the dial number memory section 4.
The voice signal stored in the voice storage section 2 is sent out to the line through the transmitter/receiver circuit 6. The control unit 5 also displays the dial number on the display unit 7 and displays the ringer 10.
If there is a response from the other party, the voice signal is received and output to the voice storage section 2.

Next, the operation will be explained. When the user first inputs a message into the message input section, this is converted into an electrical signal, and the voice storage section 2 receives this signal from the message input section 1 and stores it. The user then performs a predetermined operation on the continuous dial number input section to sequentially enter the dial numbers of multiple parties to call. The continuous dial input section 3 sequentially outputs the input dial number signals to the memory section 4, and the memory section 4 receives and stores these signals.

After the above operations, when the user instructs the control unit 5 to make continuous calls through a predetermined operation while the functional unit 100 and the line are connected by the switching circuit 8, the control unit 5 selects the first dialed number. The dial signal is read from the memory section 4 and output to the line through the transmitting/receiving circuit 6. Thereafter, when the connection with the calling party is confirmed, the audio signal is read from the audio storage section 2 and output to the line through the transmitting/receiving circuit 6. When the control section 5 outputs the dial signal to the line, it simultaneously outputs it to the dial number display section 7 to display the dial number and notify the user.

If the other party responds to sending this message,
The control unit 5 receives this through the transmitting/receiving circuit 6 and stores it in the audio storage unit 2.

The control unit 5 performs such operations for all dial numbers stored in the dial number memory unit 4. Thereafter, the control unit 5 causes the ringer 10 to ring to notify the user of the end of the continuous call.

The user then gives instructions to the control unit 5 as necessary,
It is possible to read out the response stored in the voice storage section 2 and check its contents.

Thus, according to the telephone set of the present invention, it is possible to automatically call a plurality of pre-designated parties one after another, and to send a preliminarily memorized message to each party. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the voice storage section 2 can store a response message from the other party, making it even more convenient.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the telephone of the present invention includes: a message input section that converts voice into an electrical signal and outputs it; a voice storage section that stores the electrical signal output from the message input section;
A dial input section that outputs a signal representing a dial number when a predetermined operation is performed, a dial number memory section that stores a plurality of dial numbers by capturing the signal output from the dial input section, and this dial number memory. The control section sequentially reads dialed number signals from the voice storage section and sends them to the line, and reads electrical signals from the voice storage section and outputs them to the line each time a connection is made to the destination of each dialed number.

Therefore, with the telephone set of the present invention, it is possible to automatically call a plurality of pre-designated parties one after another, and to send a pre-memorized message to each of the call parties.
