CONSTITUTION:When the designation by an operation section 18 is the at-home designation mode, a path from a slave set 1 to a speaker 15 from a handset 14 of a master set 10 is connected to attain talking. When the designation by the operation section 18 is the automatic answering mode, a control line 30 is connected to a control line 21. When a visitor depresses a pushbutton switch 4, a voice generating section 16 sends the reply information stored in advance to the slave set 1 and replies the visitor from a speaker 2. After the transmission of reply information, a voice processing section 13 enters the voice signal reception mode from the slave set 1 immediately, sends a message from the visitor inputted within a prescribed time to a voice storage section 17, in which the message is stored. Thus, the interphone set easily copes with the visitor during the absence of the residence.

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

Handset 1 is speaker 2. Microphone 3. Push button switch 4.
These speakers 2. Microphone 3. The bottom of the tank is controlled by the transmission/reception control section 5 which controls the push button switch 4. The main unit 10 also includes an operation unit 18 for specifying whether the base unit 10 is at home, away from home, or for audio playback;
A voice generation section 16 that generates voice response information, a voice storage section 17 that stores voice information, and a voice response information 22 from the voice generation section 16 when activated with the operation section 18 specifying that you are away from home. The audio signal 21 that is output as a signal 21 and then input is converted into audio information and is stored in the audio storage unit 1.
and an audio processing unit 13 that outputs an audio signal 21 by converting the audio information 23 from the audio storage unit 17 when audio reproduction is specified from the operation unit 18. Transmission/reception control unit 1 that controls the speaker 15 and handset 14
2, when the operating unit 18 is designated to be at home, connect the control line 30 to the handset 1 to the control line 20; when the designation is to be away, the control line 30 is connected to the control line 20, and to 1!21, when the audio playback is designated, It is composed of a switching control section 11 that connects and controls the control line 20 and the control line 21.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

When the designation on the operation unit 18 is home designation, the slave unit 1 and the base unit 10
A path from the handset 14 to the speaker 15 is connected, allowing the visitor and the family member to talk.

When the designation on the operation unit 18 is to designate an absence, the control line 30 is connected to the control line 21. When the visitor presses the pushbutton switch 4, the sound generation section 16 is activated via the sound processing section 13, and the sound generation section 16 transmits pre-stored response information to the handset 1, and the speaker 2 responds to the visitor. Make a response. For example, say, ``I'm away at the moment. If you have a message, please leave a message.'' After sending the response information, the voice processing unit 1
3 immediately enters the voice signal reception mode from the child Jull and stores the message from the visitor input within a certain period of time in the voice storage unit 1.
7 and store it.

When the operation unit 18 specifies audio playback, the audio storage unit 1
The message contents stored in the voice processing section 13 and the switching control section 11. It can be heard from the handset 14 via the transmission/reception control section 12.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention provides a voice generation unit and a voice storage unit in the base unit of an intercom device to automatically respond to visitors and to store messages, thereby responding to visitors when they are away.
