DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the illustrated embodiments. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 is a telephone used to implement the automatic call system of the present invention. Telephone 10
Is a tabletop type used at home, and as in the conventional case, a handset 13 connected to the main body 11 by a telephone line 12
Is mounted, and a push button dial 14 for dialing is provided in the vicinity thereof.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a magnetic card slot specially provided for carrying out the present invention. Inside the slot 15, magnetic reading means (not shown) is provided. Since the structure of the magnetic reading means is basically the same as that of a conventionally known one, a detailed description thereof will be omitted, but it is configured to be able to read information from the magnetic recording means 25 input to a telephone card business card 20 described later. ing. 16 is a liquid crystal display.

Reference numeral 20 is a telephone card business card manufactured corresponding to the slot 15 of the telephone 10. As shown in FIG. 3, the telephone card business card 20 has a user's name 21 written on the front face together with the name of the organization to which the person belongs, and a photograph 22 as necessary. 23
Is printed communication information, and information convenient for making a call with the person, such as the person's address, telephone number, or facsimile number, is printed.

On the back surface of the telephone card business card 20, a single magnetic recording band 25 is provided as magnetic recording means. As is well known, the magnetic recording means 25 is formed by adhering a band made of fine magnetic iron powder, and as shown in FIG. 4, in addition to the call frequency record 26, there is an external telephone number and extension telephone of the called party. Callee information consisting of the number 27, and user information 28 regarding the person who received the telephone card business card 20,
For example, information is input to identify whether the telephone card business card 20 is distributed to a general customer or to a special related party such as a bank or a parent company.

Next, the automatic call system of the called party for making a call by using the telephone card business card 20 thus constructed will be described with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG. First, when a person who obtains the telephone card business card 20 inserts it into the telephone card slot 15 of the telephone 10 and slides it in the direction of the groove, the callee information and the user information recorded on the business card 20 become Read. The telephone 10 automatically issues a dial signal to the external telephone number written on the business card according to the read signal, and is connected to the telephone of the other party through a telephone line owned by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation or the like.

When the telephone signal is received from the outside line at the destination specified by the telephone card business card 20, the private branch exchange 30 responds to the received signal by the operator, and the outside line makes a call to the other party. Connect to the desired extension telephone by manual operation. In the unlikely event that the switch does not respond, after a lapse of a predetermined time, the callee information and the user information are recorded, and at the same time, the outside line is connected to the extension telephone 32 corresponding to the extension telephone number given from the telephone card business card 20. Along with the liquid crystal display 16, the sender's affiliated group,
The name etc. is displayed. Since the extension telephone 32 has basically the same configuration as that of the telephone 10 on the calling side, the same portions and parts will be described using the same names and reference numerals with respect to the extension telephone.

The private branch exchange 30 and the extension telephone 32
A judgment line is inserted between the and. Then, before the signal from the outside line is connected to the extension telephone 32, first, the other party's judgment machine P treats the signal after that, based on the user information such as the rank or position of the other party's customer or social status. One is judged. That is, it is determined whether the person who issues the telephone card business card 20 is extremely important or needs emergency contact. If important or emergency contact is required, the telephone charge is borne by the receiver, and the telephone card business card 20 The recorded usage counts are no longer calculated. Therefore, it is extremely advantageous when the user of the telephone card business card 20 makes a long-distance call. Then, if the person can immediately pick up the handset 13 and talk to the other party, when the handset 13 is placed on the telephone 32 after the end, the algorithm ends.

On the other hand, when the person himself looks at the display contents of the liquid crystal display 16 and does not pick up the handset 13, after a predetermined time has elapsed since the signal from the outside line arrived, the judgment device Q for deciding whether or not to use the absence is activated. . As a result, the outside line is automatically connected to the information transmitting means 34 when it is judged that the other party who made the call should use the absence, and in the case of the actual absence, the outside is automatically connected to the information transmitting means 34 in advance. The stored information is disseminated to the other party who made the call.

The information stored in advance in the information transmission means 34 includes information for the caller to listen to until the person picks up the handset 13, for example, music by a music box. It includes information that can be disseminated, a stock market report, or a salutation. If the person picks up the handset 13 while this information is being transmitted, the information transmission by the information transmitting means 34 is automatically stopped, and unless the operation is performed again, the telephone is terminated and the algorithm according to this flow chart is terminated. In other words, after the telephone conversation is completed, the outside line is restarted and the information transmitting means 34
It is also possible to switch to, and to flow the information accumulated there.

If the person picks up the handset 13 in the middle of the response by the information transmitting means 34, the response by the information transmitting means 34 is interrupted and unless the person again operates the information transmitting means 34. Does not recover. Further, when the response by the person's handset 13 is completed and the response is placed on the extension telephone device 32, the algorithm ends.

If the person in question cannot pick up the handset 13 even after the response state by the information transmitting means 34 has further passed a predetermined time, the information transmitting means 34 will explain the circumstances and then the telephone will be hung up. It is also possible to set the algorithm. If the person answers the telephone while the information unique to this extension telephone is being transmitted to the person who made the call, the connection to the information transmitting means 34 is automatically cut off, and the person makes the telephone call. This algorithm ends when the call is hung up after the call is completed.
