In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a telephone with an answering machine function (hereinafter referred to as an "answering machine"), which is connected to a public telephone 3 or another telephone 4 via an exchange 2. The mobile phone 6 can also communicate via the wireless base station 5 connected to the exchange 2. This answering machine 1 is an example, but as shown in FIG. 18, a line control unit 11, a hook switch 12, a tone ringer circuit 13, a communication circuit 14, a handset 15, a dial circuit 16, a microcomputer (hereinafter referred to as a "microcomputer"). ) 17, a recording / reproducing unit 18, a memory 19, a functional circuit 20, and the like.
[0004]
The line control unit 11 detects a calling signal from the exchange 2, sends a selection signal from the dial circuit 16, and the like. The hook switch 12 switches to the communication circuit 14 when the handset 15 is picked up. In a call state, the tone ringer circuit 13 generates a ringing tone based on the input of a calling signal from the exchange 2. The communication circuit 14 is a circuit for converting an electric signal and a voice into and out of each other, and the dial circuit 16 sends a selection signal based on pressing of a dial button. When the answering machine is set, the microcomputer 17 performs a process of counting the ringing tone, recording a message from the caller, and the like. Processing such as transmitting a telephone number, checking a password, and playing back a recorded message is performed. The recording / reproducing unit 18 records and reproduces a message from the transmitting side under the control of the microcomputer 17.
[0005]
The memory 19 is for storing the telephone number of the other party and the telephone number of the destination of the recorded message. For example, as shown in FIG. 19, the memory 19 is shortened to the addresses corresponding to the dial buttons "1" to "9". A telephone number registration area is provided. When registering the telephone number of the destination of the recorded message by speed dialing, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 20, first, a registration button provided on the answering machine 1 is pressed (S1), and then the speed button is pressed. (S2) For example, the dial button of "9" is pressed (S3), and the telephone number of the recording message transfer destination is set with the dial button (S4), and finally the registration button is pressed again (S5).

For example, when the line control unit 11 of the answering machine 1 detects a calling signal from the exchange 2, the tone ringer circuit 13 generates a ringing tone based on the calling signal input via the hook switch 12. At this time, the microcomputer 17 detects the calling signal (S11), and determines whether or not the answering machine is set (S12). If the answering machine has not been set, the operation ends. When the answering machine has been set, the ringing tone is counted based on the calling signal, and when the count value reaches a preset number (five times) (S13), the calling party is answered in absence. A message to the effect and a message input request to the absentee are transmitted, and the recording / reproducing unit 18 is activated (S14 to S16). At this time, the recording / reproducing unit 18 records the message when the message is sent from the calling side, and ends the recording when the line is disconnected by the calling side. On the other hand, the microcomputer 17 determines whether or not the recording of the message by the recording / reproducing unit 18 is completed (S17), and disconnects the line when the recording is completed (S18).
[0007]
Next, it is determined whether or not the recording message transfer setting has been made (S19). If the setting has not been made, the operation ends without executing the processing described later, but the recording message transfer setting has been made. If so, the memory 19 is accessed to read out the telephone number in the abbreviated telephone number registration area of the address corresponding to the dial button "9" and transmit it via the line controller 11 (S20). Then, it is determined whether or not a response signal by dialing the telephone number has been received (S21). When the response signal is detected, a message to the effect that a password is input is transmitted to, for example, the telephone 4 to which the recorded message is transferred. (S22). When the password is input by transmitting this message, it is compared whether the number is the same as the number stored in the memory 19 in advance (S23). If the number is different, the process proceeds to step 26 to disconnect the line. However, if the numbers are the same, it is determined whether there is a request to read a recorded message by inputting a button operation from the transfer destination telephone 4 (S24). When the request for reading the recorded message is received, the recording / reproducing unit 18 is activated to reproduce the recorded message (S25), and when the transmission of the recorded message by the recording / reproducing unit 18 is completed, the line is disconnected as described above. (S26).
