Abstract

PURPOSE:To restore a voice message and a management table even when the connection of chains in the forward reverse directions is unknown or the management table is destroyed by storing each voice piece while the management data of each voice piece is added to each voice piece. CONSTITUTION:In the case of message recording, the voice data is stored once in a buffer 3 in the unit of tracks, and the data resulting from the stored voice data added with a succeeding track number, a preceding track number, a message number and a number representing a relevant message and what track order of recording the voice is as the management data of the voice piece is saved in a voice storage section 5. Moreover, a 2-way chain of the voice piece is generated and the management data is added not only to a management table 5a but also to an optional voice piece and the data is managed in the unit of tracks. Thus, even when the management data is destroyed or the connection of the chain is unknown, the voice message and the management table are restored.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is applied to an audio storage device. The present invention relates to message management of voice messages in a voice storage device.

The present invention is utilized for sending out voice messages in an exchange. The present invention relates to a device that stores a plurality of sound pieces and creates a voice message by selecting and assembling the sound pieces.

〔overview〕

The present invention is equipped with a management table for recording management data necessary when recording a message, and in an audio storage device that stores audio, when saving audio data, the next track number, the previous track number, and the corresponding message are stored. By storing a number indicating whether it is the track number recording, etc. along with the sound piece as management data, the management table is destroyed.
Alternatively, the voice message and management table can be restored even if the chain connection in the forward and reverse directions is lost.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, audio message management in this type of audio storage device involves managing the first track number and last track number for each message on a management table, and track connections are defined by adding the next track number and previous track number to a sound piece. It was managed by saving to the audio storage section and creating a two-way chain of sound pieces.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Management of audio messages in the conventional audio storage device described above involves creating a two-way chain of sound pieces by saving the track connections of each message in the audio LUt section in the form of adding the next track number and previous track number to the sound piece. The message number of any message is managed only on the management table, so if the management table is destroyed when an accident occurs, the voice message can be recovered by tracing the chain, but the message number of the recovered message is If the message number could not be determined, and if any two or more tracks of any message were destroyed, the chain connection in both the forward and reverse directions would become unknown and a chain would be created between the destroyed tracks. Trucks have the disadvantage that they cannot be restored.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to eliminate such drawbacks and to provide a device capable of restoring voice messages and management tables in the event that the management table is destroyed or the chain connection is lost. .

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides an audio storage system that includes a subscriber circuit that connects to a terminal, an audio processing unit that records and plays audio, and a management table that records management data required when recording audio and messages. In the audio storage device, the audio storage device includes a memory storing a control program, and a control unit that controls storage and readout of audio using the control program stored in the memory. The present invention is characterized in that it includes means for adding management data for each sound piece together with the sound piece and storing it in the sound storage section.

It is preferable that a buffer is provided for temporarily storing audio data from the audio processing section when audio is stored, and that the management data is a next track number, a previous track number, a message number, and a corresponding message.

[Effect]

When recording a message, audio data is temporarily stored in a buffer for each track, and the next track number, previous track number, message number, and a number indicating which track the message is recorded on are added to the stored audio data. Save the added data to the audio storage. In addition, a bidirectional chain of sound pieces is created, and management data is added not only to the management table but also to any sound piece and managed on a track-by-track basis. Thereby, even if the management table is destroyed, the voice message and the management table can be restored.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

The embodiment of the present invention has a subscriber circuit l that connects with the terminal 10.
, an audio processing unit 82 for recording and reproducing audio, an audio storage section 5 including a management table 5a for recording management data required when recording audio and messages, and a memory 4 in which a control program is stored. and a control unit 6 that controls the voice accumulator based on the control program stored in the memory 4. Furthermore, the control unit 6 adds management data for each voice piece together with the voice piece when the voice is stored. a buffer 3 for temporarily storing audio data from the audio processing unit 2 during audio storage;
Equipped with.

Furthermore, the management data includes a next track number, a previous track number, a message number, and a corresponding message.

Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be explained. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an image of message management in the embodiment of the present invention.

Here, it is assumed that message number 2 is in an unused state and track numbers 100, 101, l02, and 103 are unused tracks. When a subscriber instructs to record a message via the terminal 10, the first track number 100 is set in the area of message number 2 on the management table 5a. When recording is started, the sound pieces that can be saved in one track are transferred from the audio processing section 2 to the buffer 3. After the transfer is complete, the next track number 101, message number 2, and recording number l are placed on buffer 3.
is set, and the data is saved from the buffer 3 to track number 100 of the audio storage section 5.

After the saving to the audio storage section 5 is completed, the second speech piece is transferred from the audio processing section 2 to the buffer γ3.\\. After the transfer ends, next track number 102 and previous track number 100 are stored in buffer 3.
Set message number 2 and recording number 2 and buffer 3
The data is saved from track number 101 of the audio storage section 5. The same process as for the second speech piece is repeated for the third speech piece.

The fourth speech piece is transferred from the audio processing unit 2 to the buffer 3 in response to an instruction to end recording. After the transfer is completed, the previous track number 102, message number 2, and recording number 4 are set in the buffer 3, and the track number 10 of the audio storage section 5 is transferred from the buffer 3.
3, and set the final track number 103 to the area of message number 2 on the management table 5a.

By performing the above processing, management data can be added to any speech piece and the audio data can be saved in the audio storage section 5.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, when audio data is saved to the audio storage section, the next track number, previous track number, message number, and a number indicating which track is recorded in the corresponding message are added. By saving the data at the same time, even if the management table is destroyed, the audio message and management table can be restored, and even if any two or more tracks are destroyed by any message, the chain will be connected in both the forward and reverse directions. Even if the message is not known, the message can be recovered from a track other than the destroyed one.
