, gate 10 , voice synthesizer 12 , and amplifier 1
It is composed of 3.

The microprocessor 11 is composed of RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), CPU (Central Processing Unit), etc.
Each part of the circuit is controlled according to the program stored in the MK.

Further, the gate 10 takes in the time data D1 and outputs it when the microprocessor 11 outputs the gate open signal S2.
The time data D1 output from the microprocessor 1
1.

Further, the voice synthesizer 12 stores in advance each time phoneme necessary to output each time as voice, and the CPU 11 outputs time voice data D2 which is the decoding result of the time data D1. Then, each time phoneme is combined to create a time sound signal S7 corresponding to the time sound data D2, and this is supplied to the amplifier 13.

The amplifier 13 amplifies the time audio signal S7 with a predetermined amplification factor, and the amplified time audio signal S7 is supplied to the mixing circuit 3.

The telephone communication circuit 4 also supplies the received voice signal S8 received on the handset side of the handset (path shown) to the mixing circuit 3, and sends the message voice signal S9 output from the message generating circuit 6 to the transmitter of the handset. This is the message sent from the handset.

When a call is placed from the other party, a start signal S3 is generated and supplied to the microprocessor 11, and thereafter, when the microprocessor 11 outputs a call-on signal 81G, the message generation circuit 6 outputs the signal. A message voice signal S9 is received and supplied to the transmitter to be transmitted to the other party. Thereafter, the transmission operation is automatically switched to the reception operation, and the reception audio signal S8 received on the handset side is taken in and supplied to the mixing circuit 3.
When the call from the other party ends, the microprocessor 11 & C supplies a stop signal 811 to end all call operations.

Further, the mixing circuit 3 mixes the output of the amplifier 13 and the output of the front-end communication circuit 4, and only the time audio signal S7 is supplied in a state where the receiving audio signal S8 is not supplied. If so, this time audio signal S7 is supplied to the recording circuit 5 as a mixing signal (audio signal) S12, and if only the received audio signal S8 is supplied while the time audio signal S7 is not supplied, this received audio The signal S8 is supplied to the recording circuit 5 as a mixing signal 812.

The recording circuit 5 is composed of a tape recorder and a control circuit for this tape recorder.
It is turned on only while the microprocessor 11 is outputting the recording-on signal S4, and the mixing signal 812 is recorded. The message generating circuit 6 is composed of a playback tape recorder or a voice synthesis circuit, etc. If the microprocessor 11 sends a message saying, ``I am away at the moment,'' if there is a message, the next buzzer will end. ``Please talk to me after you do this. Boo.'' (message voice signal 89) and supplies this to the communication circuit 4. After outputting this message, the message generating circuit 6 is automatically initialized.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, in this embodiment, even when there is no telephone call from the other party, the time display circuit 1 is always on and the time data D1 output from the clock counter 8 is displayed on the time display 9.
is displayed. In this state, if the other party makes a call, the 1-call circuit 4 detects this and supplies a start signal S3 to the microprocessor 11. Accordingly, the microprocessor 11 proceeds to step ST2 via step STI in FIG. 2, and generates a talk-on signal S10 and a message-on signal S5 in steps ST2 and ST3. As a result, the message generation circuit 6 starts outputting the message audio signal S9, and this message audio signal S9 is transmitted to the handset of the handset via the communication circuit 4 whose transmission is turned on by the transmission on signal 810. Sent from one side to the other side. Next, the microprocessor 11 outputs the gate open signal S2 in step ST4, and Boo) 1
0 is opened, and in the first step ST5, the time data D1 outputted by the time display circuit 1 is taken in, and this is converted into time audio data D2, and at the same time, in step ST6, a recording on signal S4 is output, and the recording circuit 5 is operated. let next,
In the next step ST7, the microprocessor 11 supplies the time audio data D2 to the audio synthesizer 12 to create a time audio signal S7 from the time audio data D2, which is then sent to the amplifier 13. The time audio signal S7 is sequentially supplied to the recording circuit 5 via the mixing circuit 3 to record the time audio signal S7. After that, when the message generation circuit 6 finishes sending the message audio signal $9, the telephone call circuit 4 switches from the sending operation to the receiving operation and receives the received audio signal S8 indicating the content of the message from the other party. , this is mixed circuit 3
Since the recording circuit 5 records the time audio signal S7, the recording circuit 5 records the received audio signal S8. Then,
Once the other party has finished transmitting the message, hang up.

Since the communication circuit 4 detects this and outputs a stop signal 811, the microprocessor 11
The process proceeds to step ST9, where the recording on signal S4 is no longer output, the recording circuit 5 is turned off, and all operations are completed.

Thereafter, each time the other party calls you, the above-mentioned operation is repeated.

As described above, in this embodiment, before recording the other party's message, K is set to record the time at which the message was received.
so that when you play it back later, you will know when this message was recorded.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiments, the present invention has been explained using an answering machine as an example, but the present invention may be applied to other recording devices 1 such as cassette decks, video decks, etc. Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the memory capacity required to store the time phoneme is made smaller by using the voice synthesizer 12, but if the memory is busy, the time voice signal can be generated by sound synthesis or the like.
