Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically execute the sending of the message of a morning call and a simultaneous broadcasting even when an operator is absent by storing an inputted sound signal and outputting the stored sound signal to the opponent of a telephone number stored in a memory at the time stored in the memory. CONSTITUTION:When a user executes a button operation with a key telephone set 3, a central processing unit 7 couples the key telephone set 3 and a voice storing circuit 11 with a voice switching circuit 5 and stores the sound signal. The signal of the telephone number and time inputted from the key telephone set 3 is stored into a memory 8. The central processing unit 7 always receives a time signal outputted by a clock circuit 12, compares the time signal stored in the memory 8, when they are coincident, the telephone number stored in the memory 8 is read, and the sound signal stored by the voice storing circuit is outputted through the voice switching circuit 5 and an interface 4 to the key telephone set 3.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a button telephone device.

[Conventional technology]

Some conventional telephone devices, such as answering machines, automatically send a prerecorded voice message to the called party when a call is received from an outside line, or record the message of the called party.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, with this type of telephone device, the above-mentioned services, especially the automatic transmission of recorded voice messages, are performed only when there is an incoming call, and the above-mentioned services, especially the automatic transmission of recorded voice messages, are performed only when there is an incoming call. cannot be streamed automatically.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a key telephone device that can eliminate such inconvenience and automatically send a prerecorded voice message to a designated party at a designated time.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention provides a button telephone device comprising a plurality of button telephones and a main device, including a first storage means for storing voice signals inputted from the button telephones, and storing a telephone number of a destination to which the voice signal is sent. a second storage means; a third storage means for storing the time at which the audio signal is sent; and a third storage means for storing the time when the audio signal is sent; and signal sending means for outputting the audio signal stored in the storage means.

〔Example〕

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a key telephone device according to the present invention. This button telephone device includes a plurality of button telephones 3
and a main device 1 to which these plurality of button telephones 3 are connected.
0 constitutes its main part.

The main device 10 is composed of a trunk circuit 2, a button telephone interface 4, a voice switch circuit 5, a data input/output interface 6, a central processing unit 7, a memory 8, a program memory 9, a voice storage circuit 11, and a clock circuit 12. There is.

The trunk circuit 2 accommodates a plurality of telephone lines 1 and detects incoming signals from the telephone lines 1 and sends dial signals to the telephone lines 1.

The button telephone interface 4 accommodates a plurality of button telephones 3, receives button information and hook switch information from the button telephones 3, and outputs it to the voice switch circuit 5 or the data input/output interface 6. The lamp information etc. are output to the button telephone 3.

The voice switch circuit 5 combines voice signals sent from the button telephone 3 and the telephone line 1 through the trunk circuit 2 and the interface 4.

The interface 6 includes the trunk circuit 2, the audio switch circuit 5, the interface 4, and the central processing unit 7.
Mediates the transmission and reception of signals between 0 and 0.

The voice storage circuit 11 has a button telephone 3 and a telephone line 1.
It receives and stores the audio signal from the audio switch 5 via the audio switch 5, and reads out and outputs the stored audio signal as needed.

The memory 8 is for storing the time at which the voice signal stored in the voice storage circuit 11 is sent to the key telephone 3 or the telephone line 1 and the telephone number of the other party.

The clock circuit 12 sends a signal indicating the current time to the central processing unit 7.
Always output to .

The central processing unit 7 operates based on a program stored in the memory 9 and controls the entire apparatus.

Next, the operation of the key telephone device configured as described above will be explained. When a user operates a button on the button telephone 3, the button information is sent to the central processing unit 7 through the interface 4 and the interface 6. The central processing unit 7 analyzes the content of the button operation based on this information, and if it is a voice storage operation, the button telephone 3 and the voice storage circuit 11 are coupled by the voice switch circuit 5. Thereby, the voice signal from the button telephone 3 is sent to the voice storage circuit 11 via the interface 4 and the voice switch circuit 5. and central processing unit 7
controls the audio storage circuit 11 through the interface 6 to store audio signals.

If the button operation is for registering a telephone number and time, the central processing unit 7 also receives and receives signals for the telephone number and time manually inputted from the button telephone 3 through the interface 4.6. , memory 8
Store in.

In addition to recording such audio signals and registering telephone numbers and times, the central processing unit 7 operates as a signal sending means for sending out audio signals together with the clock circuit 12, and always uses the time signal output by the clock circuit 12. The receiver receives the time signal and compares it with the time signal stored in the memory 8. When these signals match, the central processing unit 7 reads the telephone number stored in the memory 8, and if this is an extension number, calls the corresponding key telephone. When the other party answers, the central processing unit 7 controls the voice storage circuit 11 and transfers the voice signal stored in the voice storage circuit to the button telephone 3 through the voice switch circuit 5 and the interface 4.
Output to . Further, if the telephone number read from the memory 8 is an outside line number, the central processing unit 7 causes the trunk circuit 2 to capture the telephone line 1 and automatically makes a call using that number. Thereafter, when the other party answers, the central processing unit 7 sends the voice memory circuit 1
1, and sends the voice signal stored in the voice storage circuit to the other party through the voice switch circuit 5, the trunk circuit 2, and the telephone line 1.

As described above, with the key telephone device of the present invention, it is possible to automatically send a prerecorded voice message to a designated party at a designated time.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention provides a key telephone device comprising a plurality of key telephones and a main device, which includes: a first storage means for storing audio signals input from the key telephones;
a second storage means for storing the telephone number of the destination to which the voice signal is to be sent; a third storage means for storing the time at which the voice signal is to be sent; and signal sending means for outputting the audio signal stored in the first storage means to the other party having the telephone number stored in the storage means.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a key telephone device that can automatically send a prerecorded voice message to a designated party at a designated time.

As a result, even in cases where a message must be broadcast at a set time, such as a wake-up call or a general broadcast, by using the button telephone device of the present invention, the operator does not have to be constantly aware of the time as in the past. Furthermore, messages can be sent automatically even when the operator is absent.
