[Structure] An infrared pyroelectric sensor 2 is connected to an answering machine mode setting switch 5 of an answering machine 1 through a detection setting switch 3, and the answering machine mode setting switch 5 is turned ON / OFF depending on whether or not an infrared detection signal from the infrared detection sensor 2 is present.
Configured to let.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an answering machine, and particularly to an answering machine suitable for automatically setting an answering machine function depending on the presence or absence of a person.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The setting of the answering machine function of the telephone equipped with the conventional answering machine function is performed by manually turning on / off the answering machine setting switch attached to the telephone body.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the conventional answering machine, the answering machine function had to be set manually when going out, so there was a drawback that the setting could be forgotten and the answering machine function could not be set.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and its purpose is to solve the drawbacks of the conventional example, and to determine whether or not a person is present without manually turning ON / OFF the answering machine function setting. There is an answering machine that provides automatic answering.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The answering machine of this invention is an answering machine that can be set to automatically remember the call contents of the other party when going out, and there is a person who connects to the answering machine function setting switch attached to the answering machine body. An infrared pyroelectric sensor that detects a signal and a detection setting switch that turns on / off the detection signal from the infrared pyroelectric sensor are provided. By turning on the detection setting switch, the answering machine function can be turned on / off. Is configured to be automatically performed depending on the presence or absence of human beings.

[0006]

[Action]

 According to this invention, in an answering machine that can be set to automatically memorize the call contents of the other party when going out, it is possible for a person who connects to the answering machine function setting switch attached to the answering machine body. Since the infrared pyroelectric sensor for detecting the presence and the detection setting switch for turning on / off the detection signal from the infrared pyroelectric sensor are provided, the detection setting switch is turned on and the detection signal from the infrared pyroelectric sensor is set. By this, the answering machine function setting switch can be set to ON, and the answering machine function can be automatically set depending on the presence or absence of a person.

【Example】

 An embodiment of an answering machine according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

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

In the figure, 1 is an answering machine, 2 is an infrared pyroelectric sensor, 3 is a detection setting switch, 4 is a pyroelectric sensor connection plug, and 5 is an answering machine mode setting switch.

The structure of this answering machine will be described. An infrared pyroelectric sensor 2 is connected to a side surface of the answering machine 1 through a pyroelectric sensor connecting plug 4, and the answering machine is connected from the pyroelectric sensor connecting plug 4. It is connected to the answering machine mode setting switch 5 of the answering machine 1 via the detection setting switch 3 provided in the telephone 1.

As the answering machine function setting operation of the answering machine with the infrared pyroelectric sensor 2 and the detection setting switch 3 as described above, the detection setting switch 3 provided in the answering machine 1 is turned on, When the infrared pyroelectric sensor 2 is set to be connected to the answering machine mode setting switch 5 of the answering machine 1, the infrared pyroelectric sensor 2 detects infrared rays emitted from the human body and sends a detection signal to the answering machine 1. become.

If there is no infrared ray from the human body because there is no person in the room where the answering machine 1 is placed, the infrared pyroelectric sensor 2 does not send a detection signal. Therefore, the answering machine 1 does not detect the detection signal. It operates so as to judge and set the answering machine mode setting switch 5 to the ON state.

Therefore, the answering machine 1 enters the answering machine and enters the answering machine standby state.

When a person comes back from home, the infrared pyroelectric sensor 2 detects infrared rays and sends a detection signal again to the answering machine 1 to turn off the answering mode setting switch 5 of the answering machine 1.

In this way, the infrared pyroelectric sensor 2 detects the presence or absence of a person, and the answering mode setting switch of the answering machine 1 is turned ON / OFF. Therefore, when the user goes out, the setting of the answering mode setting switch 5 is forgotten. Can be eliminated.

By turning off the detection setting switch 3, it is possible to cancel the setting of the answering machine mode by turning on / off the normal answering machine mode setting switch 5.

The present invention can be widely applied not only to an answering machine but also to a device to be operated during an absence, such as an operation of a timer setting switch for automatic timer recording of a VTR.

[0018]

[Effect of the device]

 Since the answering machine according to the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

Since the presence / absence of the person is changed to the presence / absence of the infrared detection signal to set the answering machine mode, there is an effect that it is possible to avoid forgetting to set the answering machine mode.

Moreover, it has an excellent feature that it can be easily returned to an ordinary answering machine by a single switch operation and has a simple structure.
