) shows the flow of operation for the message display type, and (b) shows the flow of operation for the tone-only type.

First, in the case of the message display type (a), when the receiving section 2 receives a signal (step 21), the checking section 5 compares and judges whether or not the signal is a call to itself (step 2).
2) When a call to itself is detected, the type of the call (A call, B call, etc.) is determined in the next step 23.
) is verified and stored in the called type storage unit 61, and the subsequent message is stored in the called message storage unit 62, and then a ring tone is generated from the sound generation unit 7 with a ring tone corresponding to the type of call. (Step 24).

Next, the called party operates the display switch 103 to display the incoming message on the display section 8 and confirms the contents of the message (step 25).

The called party fii-identifies the message, and if it is an instruction to respond by telephone (step 26), the called party performs the following operations to respond to the designated party from a nearby telephone. That is, as shown in step 27, when the reset/recall switch 101 reads out the contents stored in the called message storage section 62 and displays it on the display section 8, the telephone number of the person to be answered is displayed. Next, remove the handset of the nearest telephone, bring the sound generator 7 close to the mouthpiece, and operate the DTMF call switch 102 (
In step 28), the telephone number of the answering party displayed on the display section 8 is converted into a DTMF signal, and the sound generating section 7 issues a DTMF signal sound to call the telephone of the designated answering party. I can do it.

A plurality of messages can be stored in the called message storage section 62, and the first time the reset/recall switch 101 is operated, the latest stored message is read out, and from the second time onwards, the previous stored message is read out sequentially. You can also do it like this.

In this way, compared to conventional receivers where you dial 6 to 10 digits while looking at the number displayed on the display, you can accurately call the other party with just one touch of the DTMF call switch. is possible, and the response operation is extremely easy. After the answering call is completed, the unnecessary information in the storage section 6 can be erased by setting the operation mode/display switch 103 to an erase mode and pressing the reset switch 101.

On the other hand, in the case of the tone-only operation flow shown in FIG. 2(b), when a call to the local station is received as in (a), the called type is stored in the called type storage unit 61 in accordance with the type of the call. Then, the sound generator 7 issues a ring tone with a ring tone corresponding to the type of call (steps 31 to 34).

When a response is required, a call must be made from a nearby telephone to a predetermined telephone number. At this time, first, the content stored in the called type storage section 61 by the reset/recall switch 101 is confirmed by the sound produced by the sound generating section 7 (step 36). Therefore, the sound generating section 7 is brought as close as possible to the mouthpiece of the handset of the telephone, and the DTM
