Abstract

PURPOSE:To identify surely a specific caller by detecting a pushbutton dial signal transmitted from a caller side, collating it with a registered dial signal, identifying the caller and displaying the caller on a dislay device. CONSTITUTION:A telephone line 1 and this device are connected by a connecting means 2 and when an incoming call comes, a controller 5 conducts the guidance of absence to the caller side through a voice output device 3 from a guide guidance file of a storage device 7. Then, the guidance is conducted to input a prescribed number of digits of caller number as a caller dial signal. When the caller is inputted, a multi-frequency code comprising the combination of two frequencies of a voice frequency band is transmitted by a selecting signal as a pushbutton dial signal. When a receiver 4 receives a caller selecting signal to discriminate a caller number. When the caller number exists in the registered number, the name of caller and its telephone number are displayed on a display device 8.

Previously, messages from calls received when you were absent were recorded/recorded.
Cassette magnetic tape is generally used as a recording medium for answering machines that play back.Cassette magnetic tape is inexpensive and has a relatively long recording time, but because it is a sequential access type, it cannot be used to record messages in answering machines. If the caller is a caller, the messages are recorded and played back in the order in which they were received, so all messages must be played back in order before it is possible to judge the caller, the importance of the message content, the urgency, etc. The drawback was that it was difficult to attach. Moreover, regarding how the caller enters the message,
For example, [I'm away from home at the moment. -When you hear the "one" sound, please tell me your name and business. ", etc., is output unilaterally, and the caller then inputs the message unilaterally, which creates a feeling of anxiety on the caller's side and causes dissatisfaction in terms of human interaction.

In response, attempts have been made to identify the caller of a missed call using a voice recognition device and display it on a display device. This system uses recognition processing that uses knowledge of the linguistic information of speech, such as elegance, syntax, or semantic information, to recognize speech and identify the caller, but this speech recognition device itself is expensive. However, the device was complicated and had a low recognition rate, requiring the caller to speak repeatedly, making it impractical as an answering machine.

The present invention solves these drawbacks by having the caller input and send a push-button dial signal of a certain number of digits, which is then received and compared with a registered dial signal that has been registered in advance to identify the caller. A caller identification answering machine is provided which is adapted to identify and display caller identification on a display device, and will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

To explain this operation, when the telephone line 1 and this device are connected to the connection means 2 and a call is received, the voice output device 3 receives a call from the guidance file stored in the control device 5 and storage device 7. Guidance is given to the calling party throughout the call to the effect that the caller is absent, and then guidance is given to input a certain digit calling number as a calling party dialing signal, for example a 4-digit push-button dialing signal 9 This guidance may be created by the voice input unit 1o consisting of a microphone or the like, or may be created using a voice synthesis LSI or the like.

When a caller inputs a push-button dial number using a push-button dial telephone, a multi-frequency code made up of a combination of two frequencies in the audio frequency band is sent as a selection signal as a push-button dial signal. The selection signal receiving device 4 receives the calling party selection signal and determines the calling party number. The calling party is identified by determining the calling party number based on the selection signal and comparing it with a pre-registered push button dial number. If the calling party number is included in the registered number, processing is performed to display the name and telephone number of the caller of the relevant calling party number on the display device 8, and if the calling party number is not included in the registered number, will display the calling number. Figure 2 shows caller identification.

A logical diagram of the display is shown. Next, the caller number is identified and the user is prompted to enter a message. Here, the voice message inputted by the calling party is stored in the storage device 7 by the control device 5. A sequential type cassette magnetic tape may be used as the storage device 7, but if a random access type, for example, a small magnetic disk is used to digitally encode and store each message as a fixed length file, the random access type cassette magnetic tape may be used. Since access is possible, during reproduction, the audio output devices 9 such as speakers can be output in the order of dial numbers registered in advance in order of importance, etc., or can be selected and output as appropriate. Regarding the display, it is also possible to display the dial numbers in the order of pre-registered dial numbers, regardless of the time of incoming call. FIG. 3 shows an example of display when calls are displayed in order of arrival time. Here, the message time is the actual message time monitored by the timer monitoring device 6, but each message may be created as a fixed length file of, for example, 30 seconds in consideration of convenience during playback. It may also be possible to automatically make a call by reading the corresponding telephone number on the display device.

Furthermore, the present invention is capable of identifying a caller by inputting a number by receiving and identifying a selection signal sent out using a push-button dial. Here, one embodiment of the present invention will be explained using a block diagram,
Although the drawings of this embodiment are omitted, like the conventional device,
It may be installed integrally in the housing, or it may be functionally separated. In this specification, each is described as a device, meaning a partial device that represents a function. Needless to say, in this embodiment, the normal telephone device 11 is connected to the telephone port 17 via the switching device 2, so that the present embodiment can be used as a normal telephone device when not in use. Furthermore, although the present invention is used for receiving calls from push-button dial telephones, it is also possible to use it as a known answering machine, although the caller cannot be identified when receiving calls from rotary dial telephones. .

As explained above, the answering machine according to the present invention detects a push-button dialing signal sent from the calling party in a connected state, and identifies the calling party by comparing it with a registered dialing signal registered in advance. Since the caller, etc. is displayed on the display device, there is no need to use complicated and expensive equipment such as conventional voice recognition equipment. A specific caller can be identified and displayed, and the cost of answering machines can be reduced. It can also be used to receive calls from public telephones with push-button dialing.
The caller side does not have to make a call using only a specific telephone of his/her own telephone, and there is an advantage that a push-button dial telephone device can be used freely.

Furthermore, by using the above-mentioned random access type recording medium, messages can be played back in any order, and since the caller is required to input a push-button dial signal, messages can be input on both sides. It has the advantage of being interactive and improving man-machine characteristics.
