Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely confirm a required message by sequentially reproducing messages in the order of priority placed on priority dial telephone numbers when messages corresponding to priority dial telephone numbers are stored in a voice data storage means. SOLUTION: A calling dial detection means 1 detects a calling dial from a caller, delivers the detected dial to a discrimination means 2, the discrimination means 2 receives the calling dial from the calling dial detection means 1 to retrieve the priority dial telephone number thereby checking the presence of registration. It is delivered to a recording/reproducing means 3 that the message has no priority or the telephone number is not the priority dial telephone number, and the recording/reproducing means 3 records this information and a message from an opposite party from a telephone line to a recording means 5 altogether. At reproduction, messages are reproduced in the order of messages corresponding to the priority, thus message can surely be confirmed.

Then, the judging means 2 records that it is not a priority dial if there is no same dial, and records that it is a priority dial and its priority if there is the same dial.
It is transmitted to the reproducing means 3. The recording / playback means 3 records in the storage means 5 the message from the called party sent via the telephone line. At that time, if it is a message of priority dial, it can be easily identified when searching later.
The display to that effect and the priority order are recorded together.

In this case, the storage means 5 may be directly recorded as an analog signal on an analog storage medium such as a tape recorder, but the recording / reproducing means 3 converts a voice message into a digital signal, and a semiconductor, a magnetic disk, By recording in the storage means 5 composed of a storage medium such as an optical disk, other necessary information (priority order, etc.) can be recorded smoothly, and the retrieval work, the reading work, etc. can be carried out smoothly and conveniently. In this way, the message recorded in the storage means 5 is read out again by the recording / reproducing means 3 when necessary, converted from a digital signal to an analog signal, and output from the speaker SP or the handset as an answering message. Sent out.

Now, the case where the recording / reproducing means 3 reproduces a recorded message will be described in more detail. For example, as shown in FIG.
Messages are recorded in the order of 5. If none of the recorded messages is a message from the priority dial, the recording / playback means 3 follows the order of recording in the storage means 5 as shown in FIG. Are played in sequence.

On the other hand, for example, the message 4 is from the upper priority dial (1: 1234-5678 in the example of the figure), and the message 3 is from the lower priority dial (similarly,
2: 2345-6789). In this case, since the recording / playback means 3 plays back from the one having the highest priority, as shown in FIG. 3B, the message 4, the message 3, the message 1, ...
I will play it like that.

In this way, since the message recorded with a high priority is reproduced, the important message is searched one by one by registering the dial of the other party who seems to be important according to its importance, that is, the priority. It is possible to check first without doing so, and there is no fear of time loss or omission of confirmation. Further, it is not necessary to add a particularly complicated hardware or software configuration.
