Description

Method for automatic identification of incoming telephone calls

technical field

The invention relates to telephone technology, in particular to a method for automatic identification of incoming telephone calls.

Background technique

In modern society, the use of the telephone is very convenient, and the telephone has become an important tool for communication, but we often receive some boring, useless, or even disturbing or harassing calls, such as advertising calls, wrong calls, etc., which are very annoying.

To solve this problem, there is known a market and application of "caller ID". Its operating principle is that when we receive a call, we will receive a message showing the phone number of the caller, At this point, it can be determined whether to answer the call, and those interfering calls can be excluded and not answered. But this kind of "caller identifier" has only a small screen, which is difficult and inconvenient to visually inspect. If the user is far away from the caller identifier, he cannot immediately come to check who is calling. At this time, the "hero" of the caller identifier is useless land” and can only be used as an answering machine. And when the caller uses other phones (another phone line), and when other phones are not equipped with caller identifiers, they cannot detect incoming calls. And each telephone line is equipped with an incoming caller identifier, which increases the cost and burdens in vain.

And if there are many members in a family, once a call comes in, it will be impossible to tell who to call. For example, the elder brother answers the phone to call the younger brother. Of course, if necessary, you can install someone's "exclusive phone", or install multiple phones, each with a different ring tone. Although this is easy to identify, it increases the installation cost and telephone number. Expenses also have their disadvantages.

Contents of the invention

In view of this, the method for automatic identification of incoming calls of the present invention is proposed.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for automatic identification of incoming calls, which can be excluded or filtered out once harassing or disturbing calls or unwanted calls come in.

To achieve this purpose, the automatic identification method for incoming calls of the present invention comprises the following steps:

(1), a preset identification code is preset in a digital comparator by the phone owner, and a specific telephone ring signal is selected for the preset identification code;

(2) Receive incoming calls;

(3), guide (prompt) the caller to input an identification code within the preset time interval, and automatically transfer the input identification code to the digital comparator;

(4), compare the identification code input by the incoming call with the identification code preset by the owner of the phone with the digital comparator;

(5), when the identification code input by the caller matches the preset identification code, a specific ringtone (such as: music, song, alarm) corresponding to the preset identification code is made by a sounder sound, voice or other audible signal) to indicate the intended recipient of the incoming call;

(6) If no one answers the incoming call, or when the input identification code does not match the preset identification code, an answering machine will be activated for the caller to leave a message for recording and storage, and an optical signal will be used to indicate .

The method for automatic identification of incoming telephone calls of the present invention can be used to remind relevant callees to easily distinguish their own telephones in places with many people.

Detailed ways

Referring to FIG. 1 , it shows an incoming call identification system 1 of the present invention. The incoming call identification system 1 is connected to at least one existing telephone set 2 and connected in series through a common telephone line. Of course, the incoming call identification system 1 of the present invention can also be directly "embedded" (loaded into) the existing telephone set 2 . In the present invention, an answering machine 50 can be connected (or not connected) to the existing telephone set 2 .

Referring to Fig. 2, the identification method for incoming calls of the present invention comprises the steps described below (note: wherein step (6) refers to a relevant step when an incoming phone is unanswered, and is also attached to the identification method of the present invention):

(1), preset a preset identification code 10 in a digital comparator 30 by the phone owner, and select a specific ring signal 41 for the preset identification code 10;

(2) Receive incoming calls;

(3), guide (prompt) the caller to input an identification code 20 within the preset time interval; and automatically transfer the input identification code 20 to the digital comparator 30;

(4), compare the identification code 20 input by the caller with the identification code 10 preset by the owner of the phone with the digital comparator 30;

(5), when the identification code 20 that the caller inputs matches with the preset identification code 10, a specific ringtone 41 corresponding to the default identification code 10 (such as: music, song, siren, speech or other audible signal) to indicate to whom the caller intends to speak;

(6), if no one answers the incoming call (if the identification code input by the incoming call is correct), or when the input identification code 20 does not match the preset identification code 10, an answering machine 50 is activated for the incoming call The person leaves a message and records it, and there is an optical signal 60 indication at this moment.

Except for step (2), the rest of the steps are described in detail as follows:

step 1):

Before using the present invention, the phone owner must pre-set a preset identification code 10, which can pre-set a group of numbers or letters, and this default identification code 10 will be transmitted in the form of numbers And store.

A variety of ringtones 41 such as 1-6 can be set into the caller identification system 1 , and each preset identification code 10 corresponds to a specific ringtone 41 . The ring tone 41 can be different music, songs, alarm sounds, voices, and other sound signals. In other words, for different preset identification codes 10, different ringtones 41 can be generated correspondingly. Here is an example to illustrate, assuming a family of 3, the father's preset identification code is "123", and the corresponding specific ringtone 41 is selected is "National Anthem"; the mother's preset identification code is "456", and the corresponding specific phone ringtone is "Piano Music"; while the child's default identification code is "789", and the corresponding specific phone ringtone is " Popular songs", so that they can be clearly distinguished and easy to identify. Everyone can select a set identification code 10 and the corresponding ring tone 41 thereof.

Step (3):

When a call comes in, the caller will be notified of a short message, such as: "Please enter the identification code", so as to guide (prompt) the caller to input an identification code 20 . The short message can be pre-recorded by the owner or burned into it when making it. After the incoming call is notified, the input identification code 20 should be input within a preset time interval such as 6 seconds. When the caller does not input the identification code 20 within the preset time interval, the caller identification system 1 will make a normal response, just like the normal response of a general phone such as beeping, etc., or skip to step (6) To operate an answering machine 50 to allow the caller to leave a message and store the message. After the caller inputs the identification code 20 , it is automatically transferred to the digital comparator 30 for comparison with the preset identification code 10 .

Step (4):

The digital comparator 30 will compare the input identification code 20 of the incoming call with the preset identification code 10 to see whether it matches; if not, the incoming call identification system 1 will make a normal response of a general telephone or jump to step (6) for The answering machine 50 reads the caller's message. If the identification codes 10 and 20 match, the digital comparator 30 will send a signal to activate the sounder 40 to send out the corresponding specific ringtone 41 signal.

Step (5):

After the sounder 40 receives the instruction signal from the comparator 30, it sends out a corresponding specific ringtone 41, which is presented in the form of sound, which can be heard by both the caller and the receiver, such as the national anthem, which means It's Dad's phone; if you're playing the piano, it's Mom's phone, and a pop song is your kid's phone; nothing disorganized or confused.

If there is still no one answering within the preset time interval such as 20 seconds after the ringtone 41 sounds, the incoming call identification system 1 will automatically jump to step (6) to start the answering machine 50 to leave a message.

Step (6):

When the caller leaves a message and stores it in the answering machine 50, a light signal 60 will flash to remind the owner that there is an incoming call, so as not to miss the caller's phone.

According to the present invention, the caller must input the correct identification code 20, otherwise, the incoming call is forced to transfer to the answering machine 50 to leave a message. Can be excluded or filtered out.

The set identification code has very little probability of guessing right due to statistics, and the identification code is freely selected by the owner of the phone user, which increases the difficulty of cracking it. Therefore, the present invention can be described as a safe telephone call " filter" or safety device.

The preset identification code 10 can be informed in advance by the owner of the phone to his relatives and friends so that relatives and friends can directly and quickly enter the system of the present invention and talk to the receiver.

Similarly, the phone owner can also set a default identification code according to the importance of the caller or the area of the call. The alarm ringtone can be selected to highlight its importance as an important incoming call, and the area of the incoming call, such as an overseas call from a foreign country, can select a specific ringtone, and even report the incoming call area in a voice mode, etc., the present invention is not limited.

The telephone identification system 1 of the present invention comprises: a digital comparator 30, which can compare the identification code input by the caller with the identification code preset by the owner; When the input identification code 20 coincides with the preset identification code 10, the sounder 40 is activated to send a specific ringing sound, and an answering machine 50 can be used when no one answers the phone or the caller's identification code is wrong. Let the caller leave a message.

Another mode of the present invention is when the host does not need to provide preset identification codes to his guests, and the present invention is applied to a family with a large number of members, or a small office, or a rental apartment to several tenants , the owner can reserve a short message, for example: "For Zhang San, please press 1; for Li Si, please press 2; for Wang Wu, please press 3..."; and Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu Each has its corresponding specific ringtone 41 to facilitate distinction, and each of the ringtones corresponds to an identification code so that after being input into a caller identification system, the receiver of the desired conversation can be selected. Of course, this mode is purely used to remind relevant callees that they can easily identify their own phone in a convenient occasion where there are many people.

The above-described embodiment is only to illustrate the technical ideas and characteristics of the present invention, and its purpose is to enable those skilled in this art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly. Equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit disclosed in the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
