In the voice circulation by such a voice circulation device, as shown in FIG. 2, first, the user inputs the circulation data using the circulation data input means 4 (step 1). Thereby, the inputted circulation data is stored in the circulation data storage means 2.

When the circulation data is input, the user determines whether or not circulation is necessary with reference to the circulation data stored in the circulation data storage means 2 (step 2).

If it is determined in step 2 that circulation is necessary, a call is made to the circulation destination based on the data stored in the circulation data storage means 2 (step 3). If it is determined in step 2 that circulation is not necessary, the process ends.

If a call is made to the circulation destination in step 3, the circulation destination transmits necessary circulation data from the circulation data stored in the circulation data transmission means 3 (step 4). As a result, the circulation data is received by the circulation data transmission unit 3 on the side receiving the circulation from the circulation data transmission unit 3 on the side transmitting the circulation, and stored in the circulation data storage unit 2 on the receiving side.

Then, when the call is connected, the user verbally conveys the business to the circulation destination (step 5).

When the business is completed, the telephone is disconnected (step 6). Thereafter, the process returns to step 2 and the same processing as described above is performed.

Next, such a processing procedure will be described with reference to FIG.
This will be described more specifically with reference to FIGS.

First, it is assumed that the circulation data shown in FIG. 4 has been input in step 1 of FIG.

In this case, it is necessary to circulate, so the determination in step 2 of FIG. 2 is YES, and the process proceeds to step 3 to call Mr. A.

If a call is made to Mr. A, the process proceeds to step 4 and the circulation data is transmitted. Here, as shown in FIG. 4, the person to whom A should transmit the business is B and C, so the circular data shown in FIG. 5 is transmitted to the voice circulation device owned by A.

Then, in step 5, the business is verbally transmitted to Mr. A, and in step 6, the telephone is disconnected.

Thereafter, it is necessary to return to step 2 and circulate, so that the determination here is YES and the process proceeds to step 3.

Then, in step 3, a call is made to Mr. D. Next, the process proceeds to step 4 where the circulation data is transmitted.
Here, as shown in FIG. 4, the persons to whom Mr. D should transmit the business are E and F. Therefore, the circular data shown in FIG. 6 is transmitted to the voice circulation device owned by D.

Then, in step 5, the business is verbally transmitted to Mr. D, and in step 6, the telephone is disconnected.

Thereafter, it is necessary to return to step 2 and circulate, so that the determination here is YES and the process proceeds to step 3.

Then, in step 3, a call is made to Mr. G. Next, the process proceeds to step 4 where the circulation data is transmitted.
Here, as shown in FIG.
, So the sound circulation device owned by Mr. G
Is transmitted.

Then, at step 5, the verbal message is transmitted to Mr. G, and at step 6, the telephone is disconnected.

Thereafter, the flow returns to step 2 again. However, since there is no one who can communicate the business, the determination here is NO, and the process ends.

It should be noted that Mr. A, who received the message, is in FIG.

Here, in the present embodiment, the case where the message is transmitted only by voice has been described as an example. For example, the key points of the circulation contents are displayed on the other party's screen phone so that the contents can be transmitted reliably. The circulation status may be monitored, or the transmission status of the circulation may be displayed on his / her own screen phone to monitor the circulation status. That is, as long as the business message is transmitted with the digitized circulation data, various forms of transmission of the business message can be adopted.

In this embodiment, the circulation of the business by voice is performed by an independent device called a voice circulation device. However, the program for executing the above-described series of processes, that is, the voice circulation processing program is stored in an information recording medium. (For example,
It is also possible to perform sound circulation processing by recording the information on a floppy disk, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, a hard disk, or the like) and executing the program on a computer system such as a general-purpose computer. Here, FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of a computer system that performs the sound circulation processing.

In FIG. 3, the computer system includes a keyboard 100 for instructing an input operation such as input of circulation data and an instruction to disconnect a telephone, a display 101 for displaying a circulation process on a screen, and execution of a voice circulation processing program. A central processing unit (CPU) 102 for performing processing and other controls; a microphone 103 for inputting telephone voice; a speaker 104 for outputting telephone voice; a communication control device for connecting to a telephone line such as a modem card 105, a main memory 106 such as a RAM, a storage device 107 such as a hard disk, and a driving device 108 for driving a portable recording medium 181.
