Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a telephone system by which a response can be automatically refused when there is calling from an opposite party who refuses to reveal his telephone number. SOLUTION: When there is a calling of telephone, a signal detection circuit 100 checks whether the data of a call originating telephone number are contained in number information or not. When the data of the call originating telephone number are contained, a control circuit 16 reports the existence of calling to a user by ringing a bell tone. In this case, when only the number of prescribed three digits is contained in the number information but the data of the call originating telephone number are not contained, the ball tone is not rung. Therefore, the response for the call refusing to reveal its telephone number can be automatically refused.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a telephone device. In particular, the present invention relates to a telephone device capable of supporting a service (hereinafter, referred to as “number notification service”) in which a called party can know the telephone number of the calling party in a public telephone network.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In telephone services, a number notification service for informing a called party of a caller's telephone number is widely used in Europe and America. For example, in the US 1
This numbering service has been provided since 987 and in the United Kingdom since 1994. In Japan, such number notification service will be provided in the near future. With the aim of starting a number notification service in the future, regarding the specific contents of the number notification service in Japan,
Various studies have been made. For example, "Ask NTT"
(Nikkei Communications, January 16, 1995 issue) and "NTT Starts Caller Number Notification"
(Telecommunications, February 1995 issue)
There is a description regarding the examination of such number notification service.

Various applications are conceivable for such a service in which the caller's number is notified to the callee. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-199952 discloses an intelligent terminal device that is a combination of a telephone and a computer. According to the terminal device described here, when an incoming call is received, it is searched whether or not the notified telephone number of the calling side is in the telephone directory registered in the computer. It is described that the caller name registered in the telephone directory is displayed on the display device. With this configuration, it is easy to identify the caller before receiving the call.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-63823 discloses that
It describes a response selection service method that allows the callee to reject the call. According to the response selection service method described here, the callee sees the caller's telephone number displayed on the called terminal and, if he / she wants to reject the call, sends a signal to that effect to the exchange. It has a function of sending to. When the exchange receives this signal from the called party, the called party can easily reject the incoming call by sending a prerecorded announcement to the calling party.

When such a number notification service is provided, the telephone is required to have a function capable of supporting it. However, even in the conventional telephone device, by providing the telephone number display device separately from the telephone itself, the conventional telephone device will be a system capable of supporting the number notification service.

As shown in FIG. 3, the telephone number display device 12 provided separately from the telephone is connected to a telephone line line in parallel with the existing telephone 10 of the related art.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the operation of a telephone device provided with such a telephone number display device 12 or a telephone device provided with a display means.

As shown in FIG. 4, first, in step S4-1, the caller inputs the telephone number of the other party for making a call to the telephone device. Next, step S4-
In 2, the bell of the telephone device on the receiving side is displayed and the telephone number of the caller is displayed on the telephone number of the receiving device on the receiving side (or the telephone number display device 12 (see FIG. 3) provided outside). To be done.

Next, in step S4-3, the user on the receiving side knows that a call has been made by using a bell sound or the telephone number display device 12. Then, step S4
At -4, the telephone number of the caller is confirmed, and it is determined / determined whether or not to answer. As a result of the determination, if the user responds and has a conversation, the process proceeds to step S4-5, and the user picks up the receiver. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S4-4 that the call is not answered, the user can reject the answer by not picking up the handset in step S4-6.

[0010]

As described above, the number notification service is expected to be applied in various ways, and many convenient services will be provided. However, since the caller's telephone number is known to the callee, privacy problems have been pointed out. Therefore, in general, there is a case where the caller does not know the caller's telephone number by giving a special instruction. For example, according to the standard to be adopted in Japan, the caller inputs a predetermined three-digit number into the telephone when he / she does not want the callee to know his / her telephone number. 1 by inputting this predetermined number
The caller's telephone number is not known to the called party in each call. Various methods have been proposed for such so-called notification refusal and are being studied.

In the system in which the caller rejects the notification by inputting a predetermined three-digit number, the signal format is as shown in FIG. 5, for example. As shown in FIG. 5, when the caller rejects the notification of his / her own telephone number, "number information" consisting of a three-digit number is transmitted prior to the "ring tone". on the other hand,
When the telephone number of the caller is notified, the data of the telephone number of the caller is used as it is as the "number information" in FIG. Following the number information composed of either such a three-digit number or the telephone number of the caller, a ringing tone (16 Hz) signal (similar to the conventional one) is transmitted. When the called party picks up the handset and enters the call mode, a call (as in the conventional case) is made between the called party and the calling party.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart for explaining the operation of the telephone device in the case of a telephone call for rejecting the telephone number notification.

As shown in FIG. 6, first, in step S6-1, the caller inputs a special three-digit number and the telephone number of the other party into the telephone device. This three-digit number represents the refusal to notify the telephone number. Then, in step S6-2, the bell of the telephone device on the receiving side rings.
At this time, the caller's telephone number is not displayed on the receiving side telephone device or the like.

Next, in step S6-3, the user on the receiving side can know that there is a call by using a telephone bell or the like. However, since the telephone number is not displayed, the sender is specifically I can't know if. Then, in step S6-4, the user on the receiving side picks up the receiver and talks with the caller.

However, since the function of rejecting the notification is added, it is practically impossible to prevent a mischievous call or a nuisance call. One of the purposes of this number notification service is to be able to provide a variety of services, but it was also one of the major purposes to prevent push-selling and mischievous phone calls. Therefore, it is desirable that the called party can reject the response even when the call is made by rejecting the notification of the telephone number.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is possible to efficiently reject a response to a call due to a telephone number notification rejection, and also to prevent nuisance calls such as toy selling and mischief. It is to provide a portable telephone device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the telephone device according to this embodiment. FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a component for displaying a telephone number corresponding to a telephone call related to a normal telephone number notification, and a transmitter and a receiver which are conventionally provided in a telephone device. Etc. are omitted and not shown. That is, FIG. 1 shows a configuration block diagram of only a portion related to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, first, the signal detection circuit 100 detects the signal output to the line immediately before the ringing tone (16 Hz), that is, the number information to detect a three-digit number or call. Recognize phone numbers. As described above, in the telephone number notification service, the telephone number of the caller usually appears as this number information, but when the caller rejects the notification of the telephone number, a predetermined 3-digit signal appears. . The signal detection circuit 100 informs the control circuit 106 whether the detected signal is a telephone number or a three-digit number.

The switching setter 102 uses the "notification of telephone number".
Is set (in other words, whether or not to answer the call for rejecting the telephone number notification), and ON / OFF switching of the answering machine. Further, the number setting unit 104 sets a telephone number to be registered and a designated number (1-2 digit number) of a recorded message.

Further, the control circuit 106 includes the signal detection circuit 1
A predetermined instruction is output to the outside based on the notification from 00.

First, when the signal detection circuit 100 receives a 3-digit number, the notification display and the ringing tone are locked. As a result, when a call for rejecting the telephone number notification is made, the response is automatically rejected without making a ringing tone.

On the other hand, when the telephone device according to the present embodiment is in the broadcast (answering machine) mode, the signal detection circuit 100
When the predetermined number is detected as the number information, the control circuit 10 compares the number with the number registered in the number setter 104.
6 does. As a result of this comparison, when the number registered in the number setting device and the telephone number of the caller match, the designated recording message is sent to the caller.

The telephone number display 108 displays the telephone number of the caller when a telephone call is made. But,
As described above, in the present embodiment, when the response refusal is set (by the switching setting unit 102) for the telephone call of the telephone number notification rejection, the telephone number is not displayed and the ringing tone is set. Is not sounded.

The message storage circuit 110 is used in the answering machine mode, and stores a message to be sent to the caller who is the other party for each telephone number only when a call is made from a specific telephone number. .

The specific operation of this embodiment will be described below in order.

First Embodiment FIG. 2 shows a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the telephone device according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, first, in step S1-1, the caller calls the callee. When making this call, the caller inputs only the other party's telephone number into the telephone device if the other party may be notified of his own telephone number. On the other hand, if you do not want to give your telephone number to the other party, enter a special three-digit number and the other party's telephone number.

In this way, when the caller makes a call, the receiving side telephone first analyzes the number information in the format as shown in FIG. 5, and sounds a ring tone based on the analysis. Decide whether to not ring. That is, when the number information includes the data of the caller's telephone number, the process proceeds to step S1-5 through step S1-3. As a result, the telephone number is displayed on the telephone number display 108 of the telephone and the bell of the handset is ringed to notify the user that there is a call.

The notifying means in the claims determines that there is caller's telephone number data in the present embodiment, and rings the bell, the control circuit 106, the telephone number display 108 and the bell sound that are associated with the control circuit 106. Means (not shown in FIG. 1 since they are existing means).

On the other hand, in step S1-2, if there is no caller telephone number data, that is, if the caller inputs a special three-digit number and does not notify the caller of the caller's telephone number. In step S1-4, the process proceeds to step S1-6. In this step S1-6, the 3-digit number is displayed on the telephone number display 108 instead of the caller's telephone number, and the handset bell is not ringed. As a result, it is possible to automatically reject the response to a call that rejects the telephone number notification without bothering the user. As a result, it is possible to obtain a telephone device that can effectively prevent a nuisance call such as a mischievous call or a push sale. Incidentally, the above step S1-5
After the handset bell is rung at step S1-
At 7, the user picks up the handset and a conversation is conducted as in the conventional telephone device.

Embodiment 2 In the above-described Embodiment 1, the bell is not notified to the user for the call for refusing the notification of the telephone number. Alternatively, it is also preferable to notify that the call is a notification refusal call, which is different from the call with the normal telephone number notification. With such a configuration, the user can determine for each call whether or not to respond to the call for rejecting the telephone number notification.

The control circuit 106 performs control such as changing the tone color of the bell sound.

Embodiment 3 In the above-mentioned Embodiment 1 or 2, whether or not to notify the user of the telephone number notification rejection call,
Or, it adopts a means to inform that it is different from a normal call. However, in practice, it should be individually set by each user whether or not to respond to the call for rejecting the telephone number notification. This is because whether or not to answer the call differs for each user. In view of this, in the third embodiment, the switching setting device 102 that allows the user to preset whether or not to respond to the call for rejecting the telephone number notification is used. This switching setting device 102 is the third
The configuration corresponds to the setting means of the present invention. The switch setting device 102 can be easily realized by a microcomputer or the like incorporated in the telephone device. For example, in the answering machine etc.,
Although it is possible to switch to the normal mode, it is possible to easily register "response" or "non-response" in the telephone device with a similar operation.

Then, the switch setter 102 gives a "response".
Only when is set, the user is notified that the call for rejecting the telephone number notification is made. The notification means for informing the user includes a control device such as a microcomputer as described above, and a speaker or a buzzer for generating a bell sound or the like. In addition, they could also include a telephone number display 108.

When the call for rejecting the telephone number notification is made and "answer" is set in the switching setting unit 102, a normal bell sound indicating that the call is different from the normal call is given. It is preferable that the notification means emits a bell sound having a different tone color or frequency, but it may not be necessary for some users to distinguish between a call for rejecting a telephone number notification and a normal call. In such a case, even when there is a call for rejecting the telephone number notification, the user is informed that the call has been received by a bell sound similar to a normal call.

As the notification means for informing the user that a call has been made, it is also preferable that a predetermined melody is played in addition to the bell sound as described above. As described above, since "response" or "non-response" can be set according to the circumstances of the user, there is an effect that a telephone device whose operation can be changed according to each user can be obtained.

Fourth Embodiment In the third embodiment, when "non-answer" is set, the user is not informed that there is a telephone call, but a normal telephone call is not made. It is also preferable to make a distinctive notification.

For example, it is also preferable to configure the informing means so that a melody having different timbres for a call with a normal telephone number notification and a call with a telephone number notification rejection is played.

In addition to the sound, it is also preferable to distinguish whether the call is a phone number notification rejection call or a normal call accompanied by a number notification by blinking the light in accordance with the melody.

As described above, if the user is discriminated and informed, the user can judge whether or not he / she can answer the telephone each time, and a telephone device which can respond flexibly to the situation can be obtained. .

Fifth Embodiment In the first to fourth embodiments described above, when a telephone number notification rejection call is made, the user is not notified of that fact and the response is automatically rejected, or the telephone number is rejected. Means for informing the user of specially informing that the call is a number notification rejection call (in distinction from a normal call) have been adopted. However, even if the call is not for rejecting the telephone number notification, there may be a case where the other party wants to reject the response. It is desirable to be able to inspect the telephone number notified from the other party and reject the response according to the telephone number.

Therefore, in the fifth embodiment, the number setter 104 (see FIG. 1) which allows the user to previously register the telephone number of the other party who wishes to reject the response is used. The number setting device 104 corresponds to the registration means in the fifth aspect of the present invention. The number setting device 104 can be easily configured by a microcomputer, a memory and the like, like the switching setting device 102 as shown in the third and fourth embodiments. Then, in the fifth embodiment, when a telephone call accompanied by notification of a telephone number is made, it is checked whether or not the number is registered in the number setting device 104. If registered, the user is not notified that the call was made. Of course, in the case of a telephone number that has not been registered, it goes without saying that the user is informed by a bell or the like that a call has been made, as usual.

According to the fifth embodiment, since the user can previously register the telephone number he / she wants to refuse the response,
It is possible to automatically reject the response to the registered telephone number, which is effective in preventing mischievous telephone calls.

Sixth Embodiment In the fifth embodiment, when a telephone call is made from a registered telephone number, the user is not notified of that fact. However, it may be desirable to inform the user that a call is made from the registered telephone number, in distinction from other normal telephone calls. In such a case, the notification means is registered (special) rather than not notifying the user of a call from the registered telephone number.
Notify the user that there is a call from a telephone number, distinguishing it from a normal telephone call. By adopting such a configuration, the user can easily distinguish whether it is a call from a telephone number registered in advance or another general call, and quick response is possible. .

As a specific means for notifying the user of the call in distinction from the normal call, various methods such as changing the tone color of the bell sound and blinking the light can be considered as in the above-described embodiment.

Embodiment 7 In Embodiments 1 to 6 described above, when the user wants to reject the response, it is possible to automatically reject the response. For example, in the fifth and sixth embodiments described above, the telephone number for which a response is to be rejected is registered using the number setting device 104, and when a call is made from the registered telephone number, the response to it can be rejected. The configuration was adopted.

By the way, using a configuration similar to the number setting device 104 and the notifying means, it is applied to an answering machine,
It is also preferable to send out a predetermined message for a call from a specific telephone number.

That is, in the seventh embodiment, in the so-called answering machine, the message sent by the user to the other party can be different depending on the other party. In order to realize such a thing, in the seventh embodiment, the telephone number of the other party to which a predetermined message is to be sent and the message are registered in the message storage circuit 110 (see FIG. 1) in advance. . The message registration circuit 110 can be easily configured by using, for example, a microcomputer, a memory, or the like, as in the above-described embodiments. Then, in the present seventh embodiment, when a telephone call accompanied by notification of a telephone number is made, if this telephone number is registered, a predetermined number stored in association with the telephone number is stored. The message is sent to the other party. With such a configuration, an answering machine that can send a specific message to a specific party can be obtained. It goes without saying that the message sending means can use the structure for sending a message used in a conventional answering machine or the like as it is.

Eighth Embodiment In the seventh embodiment, it is desirable that the registration means be capable of registering a plurality of pairs of telephone numbers of a plurality of parties and messages to be sent to the parties. In this way, by storing a plurality of sets of telephone numbers and messages corresponding to the telephone numbers, it is possible to send different messages to different parties. Specifically, for example, if the capacity of the memory is set to be sufficiently large, it is possible to store a large number of sets in the memory, with the set of telephone numbers and messages as a table.

Summary The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above.
It is possible to exert each effect. For example,
It is preferable to combine the configuration of automatically rejecting the response in the above-described sixth embodiment with the answering machine that sends a corresponding message to the telephone number of a predetermined partner in the eighth embodiment. By combining in this manner, for example, even if the answering machine is in the middle of operation, it is possible to respond to a mischievous telephone such as sending a message to the other party who wants to reject the response, for example, to the other party. Countermeasures may be considered.
