Description

How to register and dial an outgoing call number from an answering machine

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an answering machine, and more particularly, to a method for receiving and storing a calling party number when recording an incoming incoming message in an answering machine and dialing the calling number.

In general, an answering machine has a function of automatically sending out a response message (outgoing message) of a user in response to a call request in the absence of the user. The answering machine automatically establishes a call path when a call is generated, sends an outgoing message recorded by the user to the called party, and sends an incoming message received from the called party. Record on a recording medium such as a magnetic tape. After that, the user returns to play the recorded received message so that the contents of the incoming call can be checked.

After that, when the user returns from the outside and plays the recorded incoming message, the user can check the contents of the incoming call.

Such a conventional automatic answering phone has a problem in that the user writes a phone number recorded by the other party on a memo sheet when playing an incoming message recorded while he or she dials directly.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for receiving and storing a caller's telephone number inputted by the other party in an answering machine and dialing the telephone number.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram of a general answering machine, the key input unit 10 is a key command for controlling the operation of the phone by the user and the auto answering setting key, the playback key, caller's telephone number confirmation key, recording stop key, response message Generates data such as recording keys. The central processing unit 12 receives the output of the key input unit 10 to control the overall operation of the phone, registers the caller's telephone number received when recording the incoming message, and responds to the caller's telephone number confirmation key. To dial. The line interface and the call circuit unit 18 are connected to the public telephone network through the telephone line, and interface ring signals, tone signals, and voice calls signals between the telephone and the public telephone network, and form a voice call path between the telephone and the public telephone network. The voice input unit 28 is composed of a microphone or a transmitter to convert the voice signal generated from the subscriber into an electrical signal and output it. The voice output unit 30 is composed of a speaker or a handset to generate an audible sound by converting an electrical signal into a voice signal. The switching unit 26 is connected to the audio input unit 28, the audio output unit 30 and the codec 32 to switch to each unit by a control signal of the central processing unit 12. The ring detector 24 has an input terminal connected to the line interface unit and the call circuit unit 18, and detects a ring signal input through the line interface unit and the call circuit unit 28. The codec 32 converts an analog voice signal input through the line interface and the call circuit unit 18 into a digital signal and outputs it to the voice processing unit 34, and converts the digital voice signal into an analog voice signal and outputs it to the switching unit 26. The voice storage unit 36 stores incoming and message messages. The voice processor 34 synthesizes and outputs a message message stored in the voice storage 36 under the control of the CPU 12. The tone decoder 22 is connected to the line interface and the channel circuit unit 18 to decode the DTMF signal received and to digitally convert the DTMF signal to the CPU 12. The dialing unit 20 converts the telephone number data output from the central processing unit 12 into a DTMF signal and outputs the DTMF signal to the line interface and the call circuit unit 18. The display unit 16 displays each state under the control of the CPU 12. The memory 14 stores the control program and the caller's telephone number of the central processing unit 12 and various data generated when the overall control operation is performed.

5 is a control flowchart for dialing a caller's telephone number applied to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 to 5 will be described in detail the operation of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

First, in step 101, the CPU 12 checks whether a ring signal is detected from the ring detection unit 24, and proceeds to step 102 when a ring signal is detected. In step 102, if the automatic answering mode is set through the key input unit 10, and if the automatic answering mode is not set, the general telephone function is performed in step 103 so that ringing continues. However, if the auto answer mode is set, the process proceeds to step 104 and the voice processing unit 34 is driven to transmit the auto response message stored in the voice storage unit 36, that is, the outgoing message. The outgoing message above is not available right now, for example. Please enter your message and phone number. In operation 105, the incoming message input through the line interface, the call circuit unit 18, and the switching unit 26 is received and stored in the voice storage unit 36 by controlling the voice processing unit 34. Then, in step 105, the CPU 12 checks whether a DTMF signal is received from the tone decoder 22. In this case, when the DTMF signal is received, the CPU 12 stores the caller's telephone number according to the received DTMF signal in the telephone number area of the memory 14 as shown in FIG. In step 108, the CPU 12 checks whether the recording time has ended. If the recording time has not ended, the CPU 12 returns to step 105. If the recording time is ended, the CPU 12 ends the operation.

As described above with reference to Fig. 4, the user registers the calling party's telephone number and dials the registered calling party's telephone number while the user returns from the outside to play the message left in the answering machine. In step 202, when the play key signal is input from the key input unit 10, the play key signal is checked. In step 202, the central processing unit 12 controls the voice processing unit 34 to reproduce the incoming message stored in the voice storage unit 36, and displays the telephone number on the display unit 16 when the phone number for the corresponding message is stored. In step 203, a key input from the key input unit 10 is searched, and in step 204, the caller ID number is checked from the key input unit 12. At this time, if the caller ID number is confirmed, the caller ID number stored in the memory 14 is read and copied to the dial buffer. Then, in step 206, the central processing unit 12 checks whether playback of the incoming message has ended, and returns to step 202 if the playback has not ended. However, if the playback of the incoming message is finished, it is checked whether the dial transmission key is input from the key input unit 10. When the dial transmission key is input, the calling party number stored in the dial buffer is dialed.

Also, after registering the caller's telephone number, the user returns from the outside and dials to the caller's telephone number registered in the answering machine. Referring to FIG. 5, the CPU 12 checks whether the CPU 12 is hooked off in step 301. If it is off, go to step 302. In step 302, the controller receives the key input signal from the key input unit 10 and checks whether the key signal input in step 303 is the caller's telephone number verification key signal. If it is not the caller phone number confirmation key, the service corresponding to the input key signal is performed in step 305, and if it is the caller phone number confirmation key, the flow proceeds to step 304. In step 304, the central processing unit 12 dials the caller's telephone number stored in the memory 14 to form a call with the caller who missed the call.

As described above, the present invention is used in the answering machine, after registering the caller's telephone number received in the absence of the user, when the user returns from the outside and presses the phone number confirmation key, the caller's telephone number registered in the absence is automatically dialed. It is convenient to do, and there is an advantage to improve the function of the system.
