I made up an attached telephone. [Effect] Recording time can be saved. In addition, by leaving the number and time of deleted messages, it is possible to prevent others from missing important messages that can be predicted.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an answering machine with a recording function, and more particularly to one for leaving a history of invalid messages.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional telephone with a recording function confirms an incoming call, notifies the other party of the start of recording to start recording, and the other party hangs up the telephone to end the recording. This operation is recognized as one incoming call and is displayed on the display device as a missed incoming call.

In a telephone with a recording function as described above, when the other party hangs up without uttering a message when he / she recognizes that the other party is an answering machine, it takes several seconds from the hang up until the busy tone is detected. Was recorded on the recording device. As a solution to this, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
There is an answering machine disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. -280151.

[0004]

This technique solves the above problems by detecting the recording time and the level of the message and deleting the invalid message. However, in the present technology, since the history of invalid messages is not left, there is a drawback that it is not possible to respond when an emergency call or the like is received and there is no message and the message is deleted as invalid.

The object of the present invention is to solve these problems.
Even if a message is deleted as invalid, it is possible to guess the urgent message and make a call by keeping a history of the number and time of deleted messages.

[0006]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a telephone with a recording function, which comprises a wireless device, a recording device for recording the voice of a response message, and a voice recognition means. A means for determining an incoming call based on data sent from the outside through the device, a means for recognizing silence by a voice recognition device, and a signal processing device are provided, and the signal processing device obtains the signal received from the wireless device. The recording of voice is started by the recording device, the recording is stopped and the recording is automatically deleted by detecting that the other party did not send a message, and the history of the message such as time zone data is left.

[0007]

According to the structure of the present invention, if there is no voice and no sound continues between the start of recording and the detection of the busy tone and the end of recording, it is recognized that there is no message. , The recording device returns to the beginning of the message without displaying the missed call, and when the next message comes, the recording time is saved by recording from that message, and unnecessary recording is not performed. Further, by providing a mode changeover switch for performing this operation, the usability for the user is improved. Furthermore, it is possible to predict the other party by leaving the history of invalid messages, the number of cases, and the time, and it is possible to prevent missing important messages.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a mobile telephone with an answering machine function according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the operation of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is a means for judging an incoming call based on the data obtained from the signal processing apparatus 2, and a means for similarly recognizing a busy tone based on the data obtained from the signal processing apparatus 2.
The CPU is a means for recognizing silence by the voice recognition device 5 and a means for selecting a mode for executing the operation of the present invention with the input device 6 by the user. Reference numeral 2 denotes a signal processing device that digitally converts a signal from the wireless device 3 to the CPU 1 and sends the signal, and converts data from the CPU 1 to the wireless device 3 by analog conversion and sends the signal. 3 is a wireless device, 4 is a command from the CPU 1, and starts recording a voice obtained from the signal processing device 2 from a signal received by the wireless device 3, and stops the recording by a command of the CPU 1 and a voice of a response message. It is a recording device that records a message and an invalid message. Reference numeral 5 is a voice recognition device for recognizing voice, 6 is an input device for selecting a mode, 7 is a display device for displaying a missed call, and 8 is a handset for inputting and outputting voice.

Next, the operation of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

In step (hereinafter abbreviated as ST) 1,
The wireless device 3 receives an incoming message from the base station, and the CPU 1 recognizes that there is an incoming call via the signal processing device 2. In ST2, a ringing tone sounds to notify the called party that a call has arrived. In ST3, the number of ringing tones is counted to determine whether the called party is out.

[0013] In ST4, for example, when the called side answers within four ringing tones, it is determined that the user is at home, the call is processed, and the call is connected. If the number of times is five or more, it is determined that the user is out of the office and the answering machine mode of ST5 is entered.

The operations from ST1 to ST4 are the incoming call determination processing. Next, in ST6, a response message "I'm out right now. Please speak the message when you hear a beep." Is sent out.

Next, recording is started in ST7, and a busy tone is detected in ST8. Next, the voice recognition device 5 and the CP confirm whether the voice is input before the busy tone is detected.
Determined by U1. If voice is input, ST1
The recording is ended in step 3, and the display device 7 displays that there is a missed call in step ST14. If there is no voice input,
The recording is ended in ST10, and one invalid message is recorded together with the recording time. In step 11, this recording is deleted from the recording device 4.

[0016]

[Effect] As described above, according to the configuration and method of the present invention, a telephone having a recording function is detected to detect that the other party has not sent a message, and a recording mode is automatically set. You can save time.
In addition, the number of messages deleted at this time and the time when the message arrives may be left to predict the other party, and it is possible to prevent missing important messages.
