And is configured to record a message from the subscriber and to play back the recorded message by confirming the matching of the personal identification numbers after the incoming call.

[0003]

However, even if requiring the input of the personal identification number at the time of reading the message must be accepted as a safety measure for keeping the confidentiality of the communication, the personal identification number must be input until the message is recorded. In addition to the problem that the operation requires time and effort, it can be used only by those who have a legitimate subscription to the voice mail system, and the use of the voice mail system is extremely limited. There is a problem that is reduced by half. The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to simplify the recording of a message while maintaining the confidentiality of communication as much as possible, thereby improving the range of use of the system. It is to provide a new voice mail incoming call processing method that can be expanded.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The details of the present invention will be described below with reference to the illustrated embodiments. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is an incoming call detecting means connected to a public line, and when a dial-in number registered in advance is judged and a match is made, a voice signal is output. When a voice signal is input by connecting to the mail system, the recording mode is activated as it is, and when a key signal from the telephone is input, it is connected to the mode determining means 2 described later.

Reference numeral 2 denotes the above-mentioned mode determining means for reproducing a message recorded by a signal input by a key from the telephone after a call is received, and for transmitting a message having the same content to a plurality of subscribers. The broadcast mode is selected.

Reference numeral 3 denotes the above-mentioned personal identification number determination means, which determines the identity of the personal identification number input from the key of the telephone after dial-in, and when they coincide, the above-mentioned reproduction mode or broadcast mode is entered. Access is permitted, and if it is confirmed that the system administrator's unique Supervisor PIN code matches, the system administrator is permitted to enter supervisory mode. The registered PIN is
It can be arbitrarily changed by the subscriber.

Reference numeral 4 is an address determining means for making it possible to access a recording area of a specific subscriber, that is, a box by a dial-in number. Reference numeral 5 denotes the above-mentioned recording means, which stores a message in a predetermined box of the voice recording means 7 by the recording / reproducing means 6 based on a command from the address judging means 4 and requests immediate reading of the message. The pager driving means 10 is operated by disconnecting a call after recording or pressing a specific key, for example, a sharp key, and when the asterisk key is pressed instead of the sharp key, the pager driving means 10 is not set to be activated. It is designed to handle end calls.

Denoted at 8 is an arrival confirmation notification setting means for pressing a specific key of the telephone, for example, a sharp key after the recording of the message, and subsequently, numerical data such as a pager calling number and a telephone number. Subsequent to this, it is detected that the sharp key has been pressed, and it is monitored whether or not the message just recorded is heard by the other party, and the arrival time is recorded by the arrival confirmation recording means 9
In addition, the message recorder can be notified by the dial-in number of each subscriber, as will be described later.
In the case of a broadcast mode, which will be described later, the data of a plurality of people is edited into a list and the message is recorded by fax at the request of the person who recorded the message.

Reference numeral 10 denotes the pager driving means described above, which reads the pager call number or telephone number stored in accordance with the message after the message has been recorded, and calls the pager or telephone of the other party to whom the message should be delivered. To perform the operation.

Reference numeral 11 is a reproduction means, which is a personal identification number confirmation means 3
When the identity of the personal identification number is confirmed by, the box of the subscriber can be read out, and the skip means 12 for moving between the messages to read out a predetermined message in the box is provided. . The skip means 12 skips when a specific key of the telephone, for example, an asterisk key is pressed, and back-skips when another key, for example, a numeral "0" key is pressed. . 13 is an erasing means,
After selecting the message to be erased by the skip means 12 or the like, the message is erased by pressing a specific key, for example, "9" key, or a specific key, for example, "9" key is pressed twice in succession. By doing so, it has a delete function to delete all the messages in the box. If this delete all function is selected, a guidance is displayed to ask the subscriber whether to read only the read messages or all messages regardless of whether they are read. It is informed and measures are taken to prevent accidental deletion of messages.

Numeral 14 is a reply recording means, which is attached to a reproduced message and, if the subscriber who recorded the message requests a reply, listens to the message and then presses a specific key, for example, a sharp key. When the message is pressed to record a message, the message is given an index, for example, a message number, and stored in a predetermined box. Then, the dial-in number of the other party stored together with the reproduced message is detected, and the index data indicating the place where the just-recorded reply message is stored is automatically stored in the other party's box.

Reference numeral 15 is a recording means, which is a personal identification number confirmation means 3
When the identity of the personal identification number is confirmed by and the delivery command is issued by the transmitting means 16 described later, the message to be transmitted is recorded by the recording / reproducing means 6 in the box of the voice recording means 7 designated by the destination selecting means 17. To do. Reference numeral 16 denotes the above-mentioned transmission means, which stores one inputted message in a plurality of boxes of the voice recording means 7 defined by the target person list from the destination selecting means 17.

Reference numeral 18 is a telephone number guiding means, which has a secret code judging function, and it is possible to select whether or not to use this function. As shown in FIG. The data is constructed as a hierarchical structure in which the index data is grouped and the members are stored under the index. By enabling the optional use of such a PIN code judgment function, it becomes possible to keep the confidentiality of telephone number data, and it is also possible to use voice mail openly by allowing unspecified ones to be used. Is possible. When the telephone guidance function is selected, the index is first sequentially played as a voice, and when a specific index is selected at this stage, the name of each member stored in the index is played as a voice. As a result, it becomes possible to contact a specific member using voice mail even when he / she is out, without knowing the telephone number or the like.

Reference numeral 19 denotes a supervising means, which inputs a preset personal identification number for the supervisor at the stage of receiving a call by dialing in, and when the sameness is confirmed by the personal identification number judging means 3, it continues. By inputting the dial-in number of an arbitrary subscriber, the box can be designated, and thereafter, the message can be heard as in the reproduction mode. This function can be used to inspect multiple boxes, and if they function normally, it is possible to infer that the function of the entire system is normal, and if one box fails. Perform a system check. The reading of the message in the supervisor mode is not set as a pager call target and does not affect the normal system operation. In this way, switching to supervisor mode is possible just by entering the PIN code after dialing in, as in the case of normal playback mode, so it is possible to monitor the system from a remote location, and maintenance personnel No resident is required.

Reference numeral 20 is a guidance sending means for selecting data from the voice recording means 7 for operating methods and precautions in the recording mode, playback mode, broadcast mode, and supervising mode, and also for notices as a whole system. To inform. And, in the guidance in the recording mode, the guidance "This is **. I will record from now", which is a greeting from the owner of the selected box to the recorder, is a ready-made guidance prepared by the system. In addition to things, it is possible for subscribers to create them. In this way, if the subscriber prepares multiple types of guidance, the same box can be used for multiple purposes, such as business and private use, by selectively setting the guidance to be notified according to the time of day and the day of the week. Can be used properly. Then, when the personal identification number is input from the telephone in the middle of the reproduction of the guidance, it is detected and the reproduction of the guidance is interrupted. As a result, even if the password is input while the guidance is being played back, it can be recognized, and the person who is accustomed to the system does not need to listen to the guidance, and enters the target mode as it is. Therefore, the operability is improved.

Next, the operation of the system configured as described above will be described based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 3 to 7. When the telephone receives a dial-in call registered in the system to record a message (Fig. 3).
In step a), it is judged whether or not this dial-in number is registered (step in FIG. 3).
B) If it is unregistered, "The data mail you have dialed is not currently registered. Please check the number and call again." If the IN number is currently changed to another number, "The data mail you have used has been changed to a new number. The new number is ***." In this case, the message "Data mail of ** has been canceled due to circumstances." Is notified, the call is terminated, and error processing is performed (Fig. 3, Step Wa).

On the other hand, while the registration of the dial-in number is confirmed and the personal identification number or the command for designating another mode is not input, the mode determining means 2 waits in a state in which the recording mode can be entered. When this state continues for a predetermined time (step C in FIG. 3), it is determined that the recording mode is selected (step D in FIG. 3).

The address judging means 4 accesses the box of the subscriber registered with this dial-in number as an address and secures a voice data recording area in the clear area. At this stage, the guidance "Thank you for your message. Thank you. I will start recording" is announced, the box confirmation and message input are prompted, and the voice data that is input after that is recorded and reproduced by the recording and reproducing means 6. The digital data is converted and stored in the voice recording means 7 (step a in FIG. 4).

By the way, in the message recording mode, the system is connected to the system by the dial-in number,
In this state, if the command signal is not input for a predetermined time, it will shift to the recording mode, so it will be impossible to listen to the data recorded in the box, and while maintaining the confidentiality of communication, the system Even if you are not a registered person, you can record a message to the other party if you know the dial-in number of the other party, so you can not only receive messages and messages from a wider audience, but also the system. For those who are legally subscribed to, the message can be recorded only by dialing in, and the message can be recorded without the need to input the personal identification number, which is extremely convenient. In addition,
The recording time of the input message is a predetermined time, for example, 5
If it is less than a second, it is not a message that is useful information even if it is an operation error or even if it is not an operation error, so the message just recorded is deleted when the call is disconnected. This makes it possible to reduce the recording of meaningless messages as much as possible, reduce unnecessary skip operations when listening to a message, and effectively use the voice recording means.

When the recording of the predetermined message is completed in this way (step B in FIG. 4), if the caller is not a regular subscriber to the system, the call disconnection and termination processing are performed at the same time. If the caller is a subscriber to the system, then another service may be selected for attendance.

That is, when the calling party is a subscriber of the system and when it is desired to confirm that the recorded message has been read by the other party (step in FIG. 4).
C) If a specific key, for example, a sharp key is pressed at the stage of storing the message, the pager driving means 10 is activated. Then, in the above-described recording mode, after pressing the sharp key, the guidance "Please input the telephone number of the contact from the city code and press the sharp key again after the input is completed" is announced. After inputting the phone number according to this guidance, the notification of arrival confirmation after announcement "Thank you for using" will be set. When the message with this arrival confirmation notification is read out, "*" is sent to the registered telephone number.
I will report that you delivered the message on day * hour * minute. "(Fig. 4 step
D).

When a predetermined service selection key such as the sharp key is pressed after the recording is finished, the pager designation is activated (step E in FIG. 4), and "the sharp key is pressed after inputting the telephone number of the contact." Please give me guidance. Based on this, when the recorder enters the phone number or pager number and presses the sharp key, the guidance "The contact information is **. Please press the sharp key when confirmed." Is issued. The message arrival notification processing is performed by storing the pager and telephone call numbers corresponding to the message just recorded (step F in FIG. 4).

If the user mistakes in inputting the calling number, he or she can press another key, for example, the "0" key, to clear the input telephone number and re-input. If you cannot confirm the input of the call number even though you have input the call number multiple times, for example twice, "Please check the operation method and try again". Send a message and perform the end call processing.

When the series of operations is completed in this way, the call termination processing is performed (step in FIG. 4), and thereafter, the pager driving means 10 and the arrival confirmation notifying means 8 are activated to call the registered pager. Based on the number or the telephone number, automatic calling is performed a plurality of times at regular time intervals until contact is made with the other party, and at the same time, the time at which the other party reads is monitored. .

When a call is received by the subscriber's pager or telephone by this calling operation, "This is a voice mail system. A message from Mr. ** has arrived."
The message is displayed and the message is notified to prompt the subscriber to access the box and listen to the message. The subscriber who is requested to access accesses the system by using the dial-in number (step a in FIG. 3), and when the personal identification number is input at this stage, the mode determining means 2 selects the reproduction mode (step a in FIG. 3). ). At this stage, when the personal identification number is input by the dial key of the telephone, the personal identification number judging means 3 confirms the identity of the personal identification number, and the reproduction mode is activated (step in FIG. 3).
G).

[0028] First, "No message received",
Guidance on the total number of messages that are currently accumulated is played back, saying, "The number of messages is *." If the number of accumulated messages is large, for example, 10 or more Guidance such as recommendation to delete messages will be given to reduce the number of cases (Fig. 5, Step B). When the message listening is designated after the guidance is notified (step B in FIG. 5), the messages registered in the box are reproduced in a predetermined order, for example, the stored order.

[0029] That is, at the beginning of the message "The following message has arrived from Mr. ** at * hour * minute." The message has arrived at * hours * minutes. " In the former form, when a box is selected by the telephone number guiding means, a valve for positively utilizing the telephone directory data to identify a message is designed. Even in the latter form, like the answering machine, it is clear that the recorder itself can clearly indicate the sender of the message by entering his / her name at the beginning of the message recording. At this stage, press the asterisk key and "0" key of the telephone to skip the stored message or cue the message (step C in Fig. 5) and listen to the target message (Fig. 5 step d).

At the stage when listening to one message is completed, if the other party is asking for a reply, press the pound key to end the guidance "Reply to Mr. **. Start recording" The box is automatically selected and recording of the subscriber's reply message is started. When the call is disconnected as it is when the recording of the reply message is completed, or when the sharp key is pressed when the recording is completed, the pager or telephone call is set (step F in FIG. 5). In addition,
Information items and news items as the system are treated in the same manner as ordinary messages, and are stored at the beginning of the unrecorded area as index information such as the number of a specific box or message number for which this is confirmed. For this reason,
Perform normal playback operations to play based on their relative order to other messages, or use skip operations to play preferentially, skip, or selectively erase. It becomes possible.
Since the index data is stored as the index data, it is possible to reduce the consumption of the storage capacity of the voice recording unit 7.

On the other hand, when the recording time of the reply message reaches a predetermined time, for example, 5 minutes or more, a guidance "A recording time has expired. Recording will be finished soon." Is added if necessary. Later, the recording operation is forcibly stopped. As a result, it is possible to prevent unnecessary occupation of the voice recording means 7 and the line.

When the recorded message is to be deleted based on the guidance given at the beginning of the playback mode (step B in FIG. 5), skip operation or cueing is performed (step C in FIG. 5). ) The message to be deleted is specified, and at the stage when it is specified, the delete key, for example, the “9” key and the sharp key are pressed to delete the message (step in FIG. 5). Furthermore, in addition to individually specifying the messages to be deleted by the subscriber, you can delete all the messages that have already been played and all the messages that have been played, and you can delete all messages regardless of whether they are played or not. An all delete mode for deleting is prepared to improve the efficiency of the deleting work.

When the identity of the personal identification number entered after the incoming call is confirmed (Fig. 3, Steps A, B, C, and E), and then the broadcast mode is selected (Fig. 3, Step B), the mode shifts to the broadcast mode. (Figure 3 step). First, the telephone number guide means 18 is activated in order to select the person to whom the message is to be sent, and the index of the list of the persons classified into groups in advance is reproduced as voice. When one of the indexes is selected, the names of the members of the group belonging to this index are played as voice. By pressing the sharp key when the group members have been confirmed, multiple destinations can be selected by specifying the group (step a in FIG. 6).

Each of these groups is constructed so that it can be read as an index, and can be repeatedly reproduced a predetermined number of times by operating a specific key, and can be confirmed as voice, so that it can be selected when the intended partner is reproduced. Command (step 6 in FIG. 6), a message “The destination is the ** group?” Is sent and confirmation is performed (step C in FIG. 6). If it is desired to change the recipient to be sent at this stage, by pressing a specific key (step D in FIG. 6), it is possible to return to the first step and re-execute the selection. In this way, by grouping multiple people into the same group according to the type of message and registering the telephone number and pager number for calling each person, you can specify the group to whom the message will be delivered. With, you can send the same message to multiple parties. If an operation error occurs at the time of selecting these, the message "Please check the operation method and try again" is played to complete the call ending process.

When the selection of the message sending party is completed in this way, the message can be recorded in the same manner as in the recording mode described above (step E in FIG. 6). If the call is disconnected at the stage where the recording of the message is completed, the broadcast processing is performed (FIG. 6 step). When it is desired to confirm the arrival of the message just recorded, the arrival confirmation notification can be set by pressing the pound key and disconnecting the call (step 6 in FIG. 6). If you select the other party based on a preset list such as this broadcast mode, press the sharp key after recording and "If you want to send a notification of arrival, press the sharp key. Guidance is issued. If you press the sharp key according to this guidance, the arrival confirmation notification will be set after the announcement "Thank you for using" (Fig. 6 step).
Re). When the message for which this arrival confirmation notification is set is read, the message "I will report that you delivered the message at * day * hour * minute" is recorded in the originating box and the message arrival notification is recorded. If the processing is carried out together (steps in Fig. 6), or if you want to be notified to prompt each person to read the message, press the pound key and enter the calling number of each member to start the pager. Specified (Figure 6 step
Nu).

When a plurality of people are targeted as in the broadcast mode, the time when the message is read and the subscribers thereof are recorded and edited in a list format,
It is also possible to report by fax at the request of the message recorder.

On the other hand, when it is desired to send a message to only a plurality of specific members of a plurality of members selected from the index of the telephone directory, the names of the members of the group are reproduced. At this point, the operation of pressing the selection key, for example, the sharp key, may be repeated a plurality of times to mark selection or exclusion. Even in this case, when the arrival confirmation notification is set, the processing is performed in the same manner as in the broadcast mode described above.

By the way, in the reply recording in the recording mode and the reproduction mode, and in the broadcast mode, the message can be reproduced after the recording is completed,
Also, the pager is activated at the same time as the end of recording, but after message recording is completed, press the "DD" key.
By inputting timed data of "MM" for the day "TT", the message just recorded is temporarily stored in a predetermined box without being directly recorded in the other party's box.
It is also possible to transfer the message to the other party's box and set the pager at the same time when the time set by the designated timed data is reached. According to this, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience of calling the other party by using a pager or a telephone, and set the date and time convenient for the other party to listen to the message, so that the message can be surely transmitted. Instead, by setting it in the subscriber's own box, it can function as a useful memorandum.

In this embodiment, the other party is selected from a plurality of prepared groups.
By preparing a sub mode having only one group, that is, a fixed broadcast mode, it becomes unnecessary to perform a group selection operation for a group that broadcasts frequently.

At the stage of receiving a call by dialing in, the preset personal identification number for the supervisor is entered, and if the sameness is confirmed (Fig. 3 Steps 1 to 3), the supervisor is displayed. Switch to the mode (step 3 in Figure 3). When this mode is entered, guidance for system management work is first issued, and cautions such as work procedures are given (Fig. 7, step a). In this state, if the dial-in number that specifies a specific box is entered from the telephone (Fig. 7, Step B), a confirmation message "It's Mr. ** 's box" is announced (Fig. 7, Step C).

When the dial-in number is input (step D), the box can be played or recorded (step E in FIG. 7). This makes it possible to confirm whether the playback function of the system is normal.

Although the inspection of the reproduction function has been described in this embodiment, if the telephone directory is selected by the same operation, it may be determined whether the telephone directory is functioning normally, that is, whether the broadcast mode can be selected. I can confirm. In this way, it is possible to monitor from a remote point by enabling the shift to the supervisor mode by the PIN number after the dial-in is received as in the case of the normal mode reproduction, and the maintenance staff is resident. There is no need.

In this embodiment, it is possible to enter the supervisor mode by entering the password for system maintenance in the dial-in state, but it is confirmed that there is no subscriber data. It is clear that, even when the personal identification number for system maintenance is input in this state, even if the mode is switched to the supervisor mode, substantially the same operation is achieved.

In this embodiment, the coincidence of the personal identification number is not required when entering the recording mode. However, like the above-mentioned telephone number guidance, the personal identification number confirmation function is provided, Whether to use this function or not can be left to the subscriber's selection setting.

Further, in this embodiment, the coincidence of the personal identification number is confirmed before the shift to the broadcast mode. However, like the recording mode, the confirmation of the coincidence of the personal identification number is eliminated. , It is possible to expand the usage of the broadcast function, so if the system is configured so that it is up to the subscriber to choose whether to give priority to security or to expand the range of use, the convenience of the subscriber will be further improved. be able to.

As described above, according to the present invention, the incoming call detecting means for receiving an incoming call by dial-in, the mode judging means for judging the service target, and the dial-in number when the recording mode is selected. Recording means to specify the recording area on the basis of, the PIN confirmation means to confirm the identity of the PIN input after the incoming, the means to play the message stored by the PIN confirmation, the PIN confirmation Since it is equipped with a broadcast means for transmitting the same message to a plurality of other parties, not only can messages from an unspecified number of people be transmitted to subscribers while keeping communication confidentiality as much as possible, Even for the subscriber, the operation of inputting the personal identification number is not required when recording the message, and the operation can be simplified.
