DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a character notifying apparatus capable of transmitting and receiving a pre-edited text message. The present invention relates to a character notifying device that transmits and displays data by using the character notifying device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional telephone device, when an incoming call cannot be answered, for example, when a car is driving and a hand is occupied, a voice is heard while traveling by train or in a public place such as a concert hall. If you are unable to answer, or are in a meeting or meeting, and want to tell the caller that you cannot respond by voice or that you want to call later or want to be called later In order to respond to
-As disclosed in the public announcement of No. 243086, a plurality of voice messages are registered in advance, and a voice message is selected according to a situation in which a user cannot answer when receiving a call, and can be automatically answered. It has been known.

[0003] The telephone device configured as described above is
By using caller ID notification, it automatically responds with a voice message with the content corresponding to the caller (telephone number), recognizes the voice pattern of the called party, and responds to voice messages corresponding to multiple voice patterns. For example, when the called party utters a voice for an incoming call, it is possible to automatically respond with a voice message corresponding to a voice pattern, and to respond to an incoming call when a hand cannot be released. it can.

[0004]

Problems to be Solved by the Invention
The conventional telephone apparatus disclosed in the PR No. 86 is highly convenient because it can automatically respond with a voice message when the called party cannot answer an incoming call, but it responds with a voice message. May be inconvenient for the user.

[0005] For example, assuming a nurse call device connecting a hospital room and a nurse center in a hospital, an inpatient wants to ask a nurse in charge of his or her medical condition or treatment progress without knowing it by a nurse. Conversations through the device will be heard by other nurses in the nurse call center, as well as by other patients in the same room, so patients can not hear even if they want to,
There is a risk that a single person may be worried about the medical condition and stress may accumulate and worsen the medical condition.

When there is a confirmation notification of message reception, according to a confirmation notification signal supplied from the control means 8,
Stops the ringing tone (ring tone) and generates a tone for confirming the receipt of the text message.

As described above, the character notification device 1A (receiving side) according to the present invention responds with a character message upon receiving a call,
When the calling party receives the text message, the ringing tone of the called party is changed to a text message reception confirmation tone, so that the called party can visually recognize that the text message has been received.

The storage means 11 is constituted by a rewritable memory such as a RAM, and a keyboard which constitutes the input means 14;
A character message input from a storage medium such as a memory card or a character message corresponding to a telephone number is stored, and the character message is output in response to a request from the selection unit 13.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing correspondence between telephone numbers and text messages stored in the storage means. As shown in FIG. 3, a text message suitable for the other party, such as "text message 1" for "telephone number xxx" and "text message n" for "telephone number △△△△". Set.

The judging means 12 has an identifier judging function.
When the identifier included in the character data or the voice data is supplied from the control means 8, the character data or the voice data is determined from the identifier, and the determination result is notified to the control means 8.

FIG. 4 is an image diagram of transmission / reception data.
In FIG. 4, transmission data or reception data is composed of text message data and voice data. Since the character message data is composed of character data DM including the identifier DSM and the voice data is composed of the voice data DA including the identifier DSA, whether the data is character data or voice data is determined by the identifier DSM or the identifier. It can be determined by comparing DSA.

As described above, the character message data according to the present invention has the identifier DSM indicating that it is character data.
Therefore, character data can be reliably determined from received data in which voice data and character data are mixed.

The selection means 13 selects a text message read out from the storage means 11 in advance based on the selection key information from the input means 14 and displayed on the display means 15, and a text message corresponding to the telephone number.

When the calling number is notified from the telephone number receiving means 9 at the time of receiving an incoming call, the selecting means 13 reads out the text message corresponding to the calling number from the storage means 11 and reads the text message from the control means 8. To provide.

The input means 14 is composed of operation keys such as a ten key and a function key. The operation keys are operated to input a text message and a text message corresponding to a telephone number. Or displayed on the display means 15.

Further, the input means 14 can input a text message,
It is composed of a storage medium such as a memory card on which a text message corresponding to a telephone number is recorded, a reader, and the like. The text message and the text message corresponding to the telephone number are read and stored in the storage means 11, or the storage medium itself is stored in the storage means. Used as

As described above, the input means 14 according to the present invention
Is a storage medium that stores text messages and text messages corresponding to telephone numbers, so that text can be easily created and stored on a personal computer or the like. The degree can be expanded.
