Description

How to Send Broadcasting of Recorded Message on Telephone with Auto Answering Function

The present invention relates to a method for transmitting a recorded message in a telephone having an automatic answering function, and more particularly to a method for broadcasting a recorded message at a desired time.

Typically, a phone with an auto-answer feature allows you to record a message in advance to answer a missed call, record the call during a call, or make a call while you are away. You can also record messages left by other parties, such as missed messages.

Sometimes it is necessary to tell several people about the same thing over the phone for business reasons or other reasons. In this case, until now, the other party calls the person and delivers the contents directly in a call state, or if the other party is absent, the user records the message and delivers it in the form of an incoming message. Therefore, if you have a large number of people to deliver a message, or if the other party is still busy, you need to wait until the end of the call before delivering the message. In addition, since the user transmits one by one, if the user wants to transmit in a specific time zone, the user's attention is required until the time. In other words, you don't miss the point of view, or you are constrained by other behaviors.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for broadcasting a recorded message at a desired time in a telephone having an automatic answering function.

The present invention for achieving the above object is a first step of detecting whether or not the transmission key for the broadcast transmission, and a second step of checking whether or not to set the transmission time when the detection of the transmission key input; If the broadcast transmission time is not set immediately, if the time is set, the third step of transmitting the recorded message by sequentially calling the phone numbers registered in the broadcast phone book.

1 is a block diagram of a telephone having an automatic answering function to which the present invention is applied. The key input unit 10 is provided with a plurality of numeric keys and function keys, and is a user interface means used for inputting various data or commands for controlling the operation of the telephone number and the telephone. The central processing unit 7 reads data generated from the key input unit 10 and manages various matters such as an automatic response and a program, and serves as a coordinator for interconnecting each function processing unit. The line interface and call path unit 1 is connected to the main device or public telephone network of the key phone system through a telephone line, and is a part for interfacing ring signals, tone signals and call voice signals in the telephone. The ring signal detector and the data detector 2 receive the ring signal and the data detected through the line interface 1 and transmit the received ring signal and data to the CPU 7. The switching section 3 serves to connect or short-circuit each circuit section under the control of the central processing unit 7. The codec 4 converts an analog voice signal input through the switch unit 3 into a digital voice signal, converts the digital voice signal into an analog signal, and outputs the analog voice signal to the switching unit 3. The voice input unit 5 is a microphone or a transmitter, and serves to output the voice signal generated by the subscriber to the switching unit 3. The voice signal processor 6 synthesizes the guide message stored in the voice memory 8 into a voice signal under the control of the central processing unit 7 and then outputs it to the codec 4. The voice memory 8 stores the announcement message and the recorded message as a digital signal, and extracts voice data suitable for each situation under the control of the CPU 7. The voice output unit 9 outputs a voice signal transmitted from the switching unit 3 under the control of the central processing unit 7 in the form of an audible sound through a speaker or a handset. The display portion 11 shows the state of the telephone as letters or numbers under the control of the central processing unit 7.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of registering a recording message destination telephone number according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The recorded message destination telephone is also a telephone having an automatic answering function. In step 201, the central processing unit 7 scans the key input unit 10 in the hook-on state and checks whether a function key is input by the user. At this time, upon detecting the input of the function key, in step 202, the CPU 7 checks whether the function key is for selecting an automatic response related program mode. If the check result is not to select the program mode, the controller proceeds to step 203 and the CPU 7 waits for the corresponding function to be selected to play the incoming message or to record a guide message (note message).

If the program mode is selected in step 202, a password is input in step 204 before entering the program mode. In operation 205, the CPU 7 checks whether the input password is correct. If the password is incorrect, steps 204 and 205 are repeatedly performed until a valid password is input. If the correct password is input in step 205, the process proceeds to step 206, and the CPU 7 inputs a program number through the key input unit 10. In step 207, the central processing unit 7 checks the input program number and registers the extension number or the external telephone number of the key-phone telephone to be broadcast in step 208. Go back. At this time, all registered telephones should have automatic answering function. On the other hand, if the broadcast phone number registration mode is not in step 207, the central processing unit 7 checks whether another program mode is selected in step 209, and if it is a valid program mode, it performs each function according to each program mode input in step 210. The process then returns to step 206. If it is determined in step 209 that the program is not in the program mode, the CPU 7 checks whether a function key is input in step 211. If the check result does not indicate that the function key is input, the process returns to step 206. If it is confirmed that the function key is input, the program mode of the telephone is regarded as completely exiting the program mode.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a broadcast transmission message recording process according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In operation 301, the CPU 7 checks whether a function key is input through the key input unit 10 in a hook-on state. At this time, if the input of the function key is detected, the CPU 7 proceeds to step 302 to check whether the program mode is selected. If the check result is a program mode, the CPU 7 performs a function according to each program mode in step 303 and then returns to step 302 to input a next program mode. On the other hand, if the program mode is not selected in step 302, the flow proceeds to step 304 to check whether an incoming message playback key is input. At this time, when the incoming message playback key is input, the central processing unit 7 sequentially reads and plays back the message left by the caller in the voice memory 8 of the current phone, in which case the message recorded by the subscriber is also played. After the reproduction, the flow proceeds to step 308. If the incoming message playback key is not input in step 304, the process proceeds to step 306 to check whether the memo message recording function is selected. If the memo message recording function, the central processing unit 7 proceeds to step 307 and records the memo to proceed to step 308. In step 308, the central processing unit 7 checks whether the transmission key is pressed by the user, and if the transmission key is not pressed, returns to step 302, waits to select a program mode again, and if the transmission key is pressed, the broadcast transmission routine is pressed. Do this.

In operation 310, the CPU 7 checks whether a function key has been input. This is the case when the check result program mode is not selected in step 302, the check message incoming key is not input in step 304, and the check result memo message recording key is not input in step 306. In this case, if the function key is input, the function mode of the phone is completely exited. Otherwise, the operation returns to step 304 to allow the reception of the incoming message or the recording of the memo message.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a call recording process between subscribers according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. If a call is being made between two subscribers or a conference call is made using a conference function, the call is recorded and broadcasted. It is for. In step 402, the central processing unit 7 of the arbitrary telephone determines whether the user has pressed the record key to record the content of the current call. At this time, if the input of the recording key is detected, the CPU 7 proceeds to step 403 to record the content of the current call. In step 404, the central processing unit 7 checks whether the recording is finished, and if the recording is not finished, returns to step 403, and if the recording is finished, proceeds to step 405 and checks whether the transmission key for the broadcast transmission is pressed. In this case, if the transmission key is not pressed, the CPU 7 checks whether the hook-on is completed in step 407 to end the call. If the result of the test is hooked on, the process proceeds to step 408 to release the currently connected call path and performs hook-on processing.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a broadcast transmission process according to an embodiment of the present invention. 3 or 4, if a message having a content to be transmitted is selected from among all the recorded messages, and the transmission key for broadcasting the selected message is found to be pressed, the broadcast transmission time is set in step 503. . If the time is not set, it is considered to transmit immediately. If the broadcast transmission time is set in step 505 and checked, the current time is checked in step 506. In step 508, the process checks whether the current time and the broadcast transmission time coincide with each other. If not, the operation is terminated. If there is a match, the process proceeds to step 507. At this time, if the telephone number for broadcasting is not registered, the operation ends. On the other hand, if there is a registered phone number, one of the registered phone numbers is called in step 509. Thereafter, in step 510, if the other party checks whether the other party responds automatically or not, the selected recording is sent out on a line and stored in the other party's voice memory. In step 512, it is checked whether there are more messages to transmit. If there is still more message as a result of the check, the next message to be transmitted is selected in step 513 and the process returns to step 511. On the other hand, if there is no message to transmit, in step 514, the telephone number just called is deleted from the broadcast phonebook and the process returns to step 507. FIG.

6 is a flowchart illustrating an interrupt routine for checking a broadcast transmission time according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In step 601, it is checked whether the broadcast transmission time is set. If not, the operation is terminated. In step 602, the current time is checked. In step 603, it is checked whether the current time and the set broadcast transmission time coincide, and if it does not match, the operation is terminated. If it matches, an interrupt is sent to the CPU 7 to inform that the broadcast transmission time has been reached. The central processing unit 7 that detects the interruption of the broadcast transmission time finds the phone number registered in the broadcast phonebook in step 507 of FIG. 5 and calls the corresponding subscriber. When the subscriber automatically answers, the message is transmitted and recorded on the telephone. Repeat the operation as many as the registered phone number. If it is determined in step 507 that there is no telephone number registered in the broadcast phonebook, the job for broadcast transmission in FIG. 5 is finished, and starts again from step 507 at every interrupt period.
