[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a telephone device having a function of automatically making a telephone call and automatically sending a voice message to the other party, and in particular, after the called party has finished speaking in response.
This invention relates to a voice message activation method for starting message transmission.

[Problems to be solved by conventional technology and invention]

When a telephone is connected, the person on the receiving end usually first utters a response voice such as "Hello," or "Yes, it's XX." If you automatically make a call and automatically send a voice message to the other party, the voice message may interrupt the voice of the person who answers the call, or there may be a gap between the person's response and the voice message. There was a problem.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a telephone device having a function of automatically making a call and automatically sending a voice message to the other party, which includes an incoming connection response detection means (5) and a voice message being sent to the called party's telephone. a voice message sending means (2) that measures the first predetermined time from the time of line connection; a voice detection means (8) that detects the voice from the receiving telephone; A second predetermined time period shorter than the first predetermined time period is measured from the time when the voice detection means (8) detects the voice, and the voice detection means (8)
and a second clocking means (10) which is reset when a silent state is detected, and after the outgoing operation, when an incoming connection response is detected, the first clocking means (9) starts clocking, and then , the voice detection means (8) is operated, and the second timekeeping means (10) starts timekeeping by voice detection; (i) the condition under which the first timekeeping means (9) ends timekeeping; or (ii) the condition that the second clocking means (10) finishes timing and the voice detecting means (8) detects silence, if any of the following conditions is satisfied, the voice message sending means (2) is characterized in that it is configured to start up and send out a voice message.

[Effect]

The present invention includes a first timer that measures a first predetermined time from the time when the line is connected to the receiving telephone, and a first timer that is shorter than the first predetermined time from when the voice detection means detects the voice from the line. (i) a condition under which the first timer ends timing, or ( ii) A voice message is transmitted when either of the following conditions is satisfied: the second timekeeping means has finished timekeeping and the voice detection means has detected silence.

As a result, if there is continuous silence or continuous noise, a voice message will be sent when the condition (i) above is met, and if a short noise is followed by a response voice, then a voice message will be sent. A voice message is sent when the condition (ii) above is met.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG.

In the figure, 1 is a control unit that controls voice message transmission, 2 is a voice synthesis unit that outputs voice messages, 3 is an NCU (control unit) that performs a series of controls on the line, 4 is a dial signal generator, Reference numeral 5 denotes an incoming connection response detection unit that detects that the other party's telephone has received an incoming call; 6 and 7 are flip-flops that capture data at the falling edge; 8 is a voice detection unit that detects the voice from the receiving telephone; 9; Reference numeral 10 denotes a timekeeping section which starts counting at a rising edge and is reset by inputting "0", 11 an inverter, and 12 an OR circuit.

FIG. 2 is a time chart of the embodiment.

Next, the operation will be explained.

1 control unit, 2 voice synthesis unit, 3 NCU,
Activates the dial signal generator No. 4, which causes the voice synthesizer No. 2 to put the voice message to be sent into standby mode, the NCU No. 3 connects the line, and the dial signal generator No. 4 starts the voice message notification destination telephone. Generates a dial pulse to call.

When the notification destination responds to the incoming call, the signal is received and the output a of the incoming connection response detection unit 5 becomes “1”.
becomes.

When a becomes "1", the resets of the flip-flops 6 and 7 are released, and the audio detection section 8 becomes operational.
The timer section 9 starts measuring time, and its output b becomes "1".

After that, the following operations are performed depending on the state of the other party.

[If the silent state continues: α in Figure 2] The clock section 9 finishes timing, b falls from "1" to "0", and the output c of the flip-flop 6 becomes "1", and the clock section 12 OR output g is “1”
Then, the voice synthesis section 2 operates and the voice message is sent out to the line.

[When the response voice continues after the noise: β in Figure 2] Upon detection of the sound from the called side, the output d of the voice detection unit 8 becomes “1”, and the clock unit 10 starts timing. Then, the output of the clock section 10 becomes "1" and the output e of the inverter 11 becomes "0".

The noise stops and d falls from "1" to "0" before the clock section 10 finishes counting, and since e is "0" at this time, the output of the flip-flop 7 continues to be "0". Furthermore, since d becomes "0", the timer section 10 is reset, and the output e of the inverter 11 also becomes "1".

It also detects audio and performs the same operation.

The sound continued, and the 10 timekeeping units finished measuring time.
e becomes "1".

When the response voice ends, d falls from "1" to "0", and at this time, e is "1", so f is "1",
When g becomes "1", the speech synthesis section 2 operates,
A voice message is sent to the line.

[When continuous noise continues: γ in Figure 2] As soon as the voice detection section 8 starts operating,
The output d of the voice detection section becomes "1", and the 10 timekeeping sections start measuring time, and e becomes "0".
becomes.

Due to continuous noise, d continues to be in the state of "1" even after the 10 timekeeping units have finished measuring time and e has become "1".

The clock section 9 finishes timing, b falls from "1" to "0", the output c of the flip-flop 6 becomes "1", and the output g of the OR of 12 becomes "1".
Then, the voice synthesis section 2 operates and the voice message is sent out to the line.

〔effect〕

According to the present invention, it is possible to automatically send a voice message without interrupting the response voice from the called party and immediately after the response voice ends,
Voice messages can be sent in a natural manner, which has great practical effects.
