JPS62222747A - Telephone set - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the call of a specific person among plural persons belonging to one telephone set by providing a memory storing personal information corresponding to a personal number and a voice synthesis circuit synthesizing voice based on the personal information retrieved by the memory to a telephone set. CONSTITUTION:A transmitting person dials an opposite telephone number at first to await the line connection. The call signal is transmitted from a line 101 to a line control section 102. The line control section 102 receives a call signal to transmit a line connection signal to the line 101. The transmitting person, after receiving a line connection signal, dials a person number successively. The line control section 102 sends the person number sent after transmitting the line connection signal to a conversion memory via a person number storage circuit 104. Since person numbers and person names corresponding to the data are stored in the conversion memory 105, a person name corresponding to the inputted person number is outputted. The voice synthesis circuit 106 receives the person name and utters a call voice corresponding thereto.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field of invention] The present invention relates to a telephone that calls a specific individual by voice.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems] Although the recent spread of telephones has been remarkable, it has not yet reached the point where each person has one.

In other words, when a call comes to a particular telephone, someone has to pick up the receiver and listen to who is calling from the other party, and has to interrupt work for the other person. In other words, the transfer of telephone equipment was wasted.

[Object of the Invention] In view of the above-mentioned problems, an object of the invention is to provide a telephone that allows a specific individual to be called from among a plurality of people belonging to one telephone.

[Summary of the Invention] According to the present invention, the person making the call dials the telephone number of the other party as well as the personal number of the other party with whom he or she wishes to make a call. After the line is connected to the other party's phone using the other party's telephone number, the personal number is transferred, converted to a personal name using a correspondence table stored in the other party's telephone, and this personal name is pronounced.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, not only a dial tone but also a person's name is uttered from the telephone. Therefore, it is possible to know that the call is directly addressed to a specific individual without bothering others, so its practical advantage is enormous.

[Embodiments of the invention] The present invention will be explained below using examples.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the invention. The signal from the line 101 passes through the line control section 102 and is connected to the conventional telephone function section 103, while at the same time it is connected to the personal number storage circuit 104.
It is also connected to. The personal number stored in the personal number storage circuit 104 is connected to a conversion memory 105, converted into a personal name, and sent to the speech synthesis circuit 106. Speech synthesis circuit 10
6 utters, for example, "I'm calling Toshiba" from the speaker 107.

Next, the operation of the embodiment will be explained. The sender first dials the recipient's phone number and waits for the line to connect. The calling signal is sent from line 101 to line control section 102 .

The line control unit 102 receives the call signal and sends a line connection signal to the line 101. When the caller receives the line connection signal, he or she then dials the personal number. Line control section 10
2 sends the personal number sent after sending out the line connection signal to the conversion memory 105 via the personal number storage circuit 104. Since the conversion memory 105 stores in advance the correspondence data between the personal number and the personal name, the personal name corresponding to the input personal number is output. The speech synthesis circuit 106 receives the individual's name and produces a corresponding calling voice.

As explained above, by using the present invention, it is possible to make a call to an honest individual who causes unnecessary intercession. Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.

Even if a conversion table search mechanism or the like is added to the conversion memory unit, any means will be used as long as the personal number is converted into a personal identification symbol.

In short, the present invention can be implemented with various modifications without changing the gist.
