  Here, the text conversion unit 37 that converts the recorded message into text data is configured to include general voice recognition means. That is, the text conversion unit 37 removes the noise included in the recording message by the filter means, generates clear voice information, and then creates a database in which the correspondence relationship between the voice pattern and the converted character string is registered. Using, for each syllable, voice recognition processing is performed by comparing and collating voice patterns of clear voice information, and the clear voice information is converted into character string data. Thereafter, the syntax of the converted character string data is checked by the syntax check means, proofreading is performed as a sentence, and the recording message to be converted is converted to text data of the correct syntax.

  The E-Mail transmission unit 38 acquires the E-Mail address (e-mail address) of the receiving terminal 13 of the called party 12 who has requested reproduction from the E-Mail address 61 of the user information storage unit 52 of the storage unit 50. Then, the text data converted by the text conversion unit 37 is further added with a message number and time stamp information, and the “text data with message number / time stamp” generated as an e-mail (E-mail) 13 It is a mail delivery means to deliver to.

  Next, an outline of a recording service in the recording message playback apparatus 30 including the above-described components will be described. In FIG. 1, when the caller terminal 11 of the caller 10 makes a call to the callee terminal 13 of the callee 12 via the network 20, the callee 12 of the callee terminal 13 is not connected to the callee terminal 13 due to the absence. If the incoming call cannot be received, the network 20 transfers the outgoing call to the recorded message playback device 30 to cause the recorded message playback device 30 to receive the incoming call. The recorded message playback device 30 that has received an incoming call executes an incoming call sequence for an incoming call from the calling terminal 11 at the call processing unit 31, and sets the connection with the calling terminal 11 to the calling state by the call processing unit 34. Then, a guidance message (voice information) that prompts the sender 10 of the sender terminal 11 to record a message message (voice information) to be notified to the recipient 12 as a recording message is sent.

  When the caller 10 of the calling terminal 11 who has heard the guidance message prompting the recording sends a message message to be notified to the callee 12, the recorded message playback device 30 is connected to the playback / recording unit 35 via the call processing unit 34. The message message is edited as a recording message, recorded and stored in the recording message 73 of the recording data storage unit 51 of the storage unit 50, and a message number for uniquely identifying the recording message is assigned, The message number is stored in the message number 71 of the recording data storage unit 51 of the storage unit 50. At this time, the time stamp unit 36 records the elapsed time from the recording start of the recording message as time stamp information in association with the message number and recording message stored in the message number 71 and recording message 73, respectively, and the recording in the storage unit 50. Stored in the time stamp 72 of the data storage unit 51.

  Thereafter, the recorded message playback device 30 converts the recorded message stored in the recorded message 73 of the recorded data storage unit 51 of the storage unit 50 into text data by the text conversion unit 37 and associates the recorded message with the recorded message. The message number and time stamp information stored in the message number 71 and time stamp 72 of the recorded data storage unit 51 are inserted and assigned to the corresponding positions of the text data to generate “text data with message number / time stamp”. . Further, the generated “message data with text number / time stamp” message number 71 is sent to the E-Mail transmission unit 38.

  For example, “Message data with time stamp / message number” generated by the text conversion unit 37 is “Hello, XX. (… The first silent section…) I want to order two PHS terminals. However, (... the second silent section ...) Please tell us the delivery date and price as soon as possible. " The “message number” may be inserted, for example, at the head position of the recorded message, and the “time stamp information” may be, for example, each silent section extending over a predetermined time threshold, as described above. The numbers “01” and “02” in the order of recording occurrence may be inserted at the positions of (... 1st silent section...) And (... 2nd silent section...). In other words, the “text data with message number and time stamp” generated in the case of the above-mentioned recorded message is “■ 9876” if it is ○○. ☆ 01 ☆ I want to order two PHS terminals. ☆ Generate by sending “message number” and “time stamp information” in the corresponding position in the format of “Please tell us the delivery date and price as soon as possible.”

  Here, the symbol “■” of “■ 9876 ■” is an identifier for uniquely indicating that it is a message number, and “9876” sandwiched between “■” is a message number for specifying a recorded message. It is shown that. Further, the symbol “☆” of “☆ 01 ☆” and “☆ 02 ☆” is an identifier for uniquely indicating that it is time stamp information, and “01” and “01” sandwiched between “☆” It indicates time stamp information, and is set, for example, as a number (numerical value) indicating the order of occurrence of silent intervals from the start of recording.

  The E-Mail transmission unit 38 refers to the E-Mail address of the receiving terminal 13 stored in the E-Mail address 61 of the user information storage unit 52 of the storage unit 50, and receives the “message” received from the text conversion unit 37. The “text data with number / time stamp” is automatically sent as an e-mail to the receiving terminal 13 that is the notification destination of the message message of the caller 10.

  The receiving terminal 13 that receives the e-mail has a function for making a call to the recorded message playback device 30 and a function of dialing a called telephone number that is the telephone number of the destination recorded message playback device 30 And a function of transmitting a calling telephone number that is the telephone number of the receiving terminal. In addition, the receiving terminal 13 further has a function of setting and sending a destination subaddress and a calling subaddress.

  That is, the called party 12 of the receiving terminal 13 reads the e-mail received from the recorded message playback device 30, and grasps the outline of the recorded message content in which the message message from the calling party 10 to the called party 12 is recorded. After that, in order to further confirm the recorded message stored in the recorded message playback device 30 as the voice information of the caller 10 itself, the outgoing call is made to the recorded message playback device 30. When the called party 12 dials the incoming telephone number of the recorded message playback apparatus 30 as the destination, the callee 12 reproduces and outputs the recorded message (voice information) from the message number and time stamp information included in the received e-mail. Is selected and inputted, and a password for authentication of the callee 12 is further inputted. Here, in the present embodiment, the message number, the reproduction start position information, and the password are input as the incoming subaddress following the incoming telephone number.

  The receiving terminal 13 transmits an outgoing call including the message number input as the incoming subaddress, the reproduction start position information, and the password to the network 20 in addition to the incoming telephone number input as the destination. Here, the receiving terminal 13 further transmits to the network 20 as an outgoing call to which a calling telephone number that is the telephone number of the receiving terminal 13 (in some cases, a calling subaddress may be further included). Anyway.

  When the network 20 receives the outgoing call from the receiving terminal 13, the network 20 converts the incoming call to the recorded message playback device 30 indicated by the incoming telephone number included in the outgoing call, and the message number transmitted as the incoming subaddress. "Call setting" information including at least a reproduction start position information and a password, and further provided with a calling telephone number (which may further include a calling sub-address in some cases) that is the telephone number of the call receiving terminal 13 Is created, and the created “call setting” information is recorded as an incoming call requesting that the recorded message (voice information) of the designated message number is reproduced and output from the designated reproduction start position information. By transmitting to 30, the recording message playback device 30 is received.

  When receiving an incoming call from the incoming call terminal 13, the recorded message playback device 30 is permitted to access based on the authentication password of the called party 12 set in the “call setting” information of the incoming call. User authentication is performed to determine whether or not the callee is received. If user authentication is obtained, access to the incoming call is permitted, and a recording message requested by the callee is played back by the callee 12. Playback from the start position is performed, and the voice information of the caller 10 is sent to the callee terminal 13 of the callee 12.

  Next, in the outline of the recording service of the recorded message playback apparatus 30 described above, the functions of the constituent elements constituting the recorded message playback apparatus 30 will be described in more detail. The recorded message playback device 30 that has received the incoming call from the incoming terminal 13 analyzes the “call setting” information of the incoming call in the call processing unit 31 and executes an incoming call sequence for determining whether or not to accept the incoming call. To do.

  When accepting an incoming call, the call processing unit 31 further activates the verification unit 32, and the password set in the “call setting” information of the incoming call is stored in the user information storage unit 50 in the verification unit 32. It is confirmed whether or not it matches the password registered in advance in the password 62 of the unit 52. Here, as described above, the password set in the “call setting” information may be set in the destination subaddress of the “call setting” information.

  If the password set in the “call setting” information of the incoming call matches the password registered in the password 62 of the user information storage unit 52, the incoming caller 12 of the caller of the incoming call Assuming that user authentication has been obtained, the call processing unit 31 extracts the message number and the reproduction start position information set in the “call setting” information of the incoming call, and reproduces the requested recorded message. For this purpose, the playback / recording unit 35 is activated and the call processing unit 34 is controlled to set the connection with the receiving terminal 13 that is the originator of the incoming call to a call state. Here, as described above, the message number set in the “call setting” information and the reproduction start position information may be set in the destination subaddress in the “call setting” information.

  The playback / recording unit 35 searches the message number 71 in the recording data storage unit 51 of the storage unit 50 by using the message number set in the “call setting” information of the incoming call, thereby recording the recording requested to be played back. Based on the reproduction start position information set in the “call setting” information of the incoming call, the storage unit 50 determines the location of the recording message 73 in which the message is recorded and stored, By searching the time information of the time stamp 72 of the recording data storage unit 51, the time position of the recording message to be reproduced is determined, and the recording message requested by the callee 12 is determined from the determined time position. Start playback. Here, the reproduction start position information set in the “call setting” information of the incoming call is, for example, information stored as time stamp information in the time stamp 72 of the recording data storage unit 51 of the storage unit 50. The time position of the recording message that should start playback is obtained by extracting the time position information associated with the numerical value as the elapsed time from the start of recording. Can be sought.

  The recording message (voice information) that has been played back from the time position indicated by the playback start position information by the playback / recording unit 35 is received by the call processing unit 34 via the network 20 as voice information. It is transmitted toward the terminal 13. As a result, the callee 12 of the receiving terminal 13 who has tried to confirm the recorded message by voice information can confirm the designated recorded message as voice from the designated reproduction start position, and an important part of the designated recorded message. Is reproduced as the voice of the caller 10 itself, so that important keywords of the recorded message can be surely grasped.

(Description of operation of embodiment)
Next, the operation of the recorded message playback device 30 shown in FIG. 1 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the operation of the recorded message playback device 30 of FIG. 1. The caller 10 who has not been able to make a telephone contact with the callee 12 can call the callee 12. Shows an example of the operation until the recorded message reproduction device 30 records and stores the contact information (message) as a recorded message.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 2, when the caller 10 makes a call from the caller terminal 11 to the callee terminal 13 of the callee 12 via the network 20 (step S <b> 101), the network 20 receives the designated callee terminal 13. However, if the incoming call operation to the receiving terminal 13 fails due to some reason such as the absence of the callee 12, the network 20 sends contact information (message) from the caller 10 to the callee 12 to the recording message playback device 30. In order to record, the outgoing call from the transmission terminal 11 is transferred to the recording message reproduction device 30 and received by the recording message reproduction device 30 (step S151).

  When the recorded message playback device 30 that has received an incoming call from the calling terminal 11 executes the incoming call sequence in the call processing unit 31 and determines that the incoming call from the calling terminal 11 can be accepted, the call processing unit Activating the unit 34 to set the call state and activating the playback / recording unit 35 to prompt the calling terminal 11 to record the communication items to the called party 12 via the network 20. A guidance message is sent out (step S152). The caller 10 of the caller terminal 11 who has listened to the message, when there is information to be surely contacted to the callee 12, blows it as a recorded message, so that the caller terminal uses the caller's information as voice information. 11 to the recorded message playback device 30 (step S102).

  The recorded message playback device 30 that has received the voice information from the calling terminal 11 starts a recording operation as a recorded message in the playback / recording section 35 (step S153), and the time stamp section 36 has elapsed since the start of recording. The operation of measuring time as recording time is started (step S154).

  When the caller 10 finishes blowing the recording message and disconnects the calling terminal 11 (step S103), the recording message playback device 30 uses the playback / recording unit 35 to record as a recorded message so far. The recorded voice information is recorded and stored in the recording message 73 of the recording data storage unit 51 of the storage unit 50, and a message number capable of uniquely identifying the recording message is set in the message number 71 of the recording data storage unit 51. In addition, the recording time measured in the time stamp unit 36 is set as time stamp information in the time stamp 72 of the recording data storage unit 51 (step S155).

  Here, as the time stamp information to be set in the time stamp 72 of the recording data storage unit 51, for example, when the silent section of the voice information that the caller 10 is blowing as a recording message reaches a predetermined time threshold or more. In addition, the recording time (elapsed time from the start of recording) of the silent section is set together with a numerical value (number) indicating the order of occurrence of the silent section.

  Next, an example of the operation following the flowchart of FIG. 2 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3 regarding the operation of the recorded message playback device 30 shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the operation following the flowchart of FIG. 2 of the recorded message playback device 30 of FIG. 1, and converts the recorded message for the called party 12 recorded by the caller 10 into text data. An example of the operation of delivering the data as an e-mail to the receiving terminal 13 of the called party 12 is shown.

  The recorded message reproducing apparatus 30 that records and stores the recorded message for the callee 12 in the recorded message 73 of the recorded data storage unit 51 of the storage unit 50 by the operation shown in the flowchart of FIG. The recording message recorded and stored in the recording message 73 of the unit 51 is converted into text data (step S201). Further, the time stamp information is added to the converted text data based on the time stamp information set in the time stamp 72 as the recording time indicating the time position of the silent section of the recording message (step S202). Here, for the time stamp information added to the text data, for example, a numerical value indicating the occurrence order of the silent period from the beginning of the recording message is sandwiched between identifiers (for example, symbol ☆) uniquely indicating the time stamp information. Set with.

  Further, the text conversion unit 37 extracts from the message number 71 of the recording data storage unit 51 a message number that uniquely identifies the recording message before conversion of the text data at the beginning of the text data to which the time stamp information is added. By adding (step S203), "text data with message number / time stamp" is generated (step S203). Here, the message number added to the head of the text data is sandwiched between the message number extracted from the message number 71 of the recording data storage unit 51 by, for example, an identifier (for example, symbol ■) uniquely indicating the message number. Set with.

  Next, the E-Mail transmission unit 38 stores the E-Mail address of the receiving terminal 13 to which the “text data with message number / time stamp” generated by the text conversion unit 37 is distributed as the user information stored in the storage unit 50. It is extracted from the E-Mail address 61 of the section 52 and set in the header part of the e-mail format, and the “text data with message number / time stamp” is created as an e-mail (step S204). Thereafter, the E-Mail transmission unit 38 automatically transmits the created electronic mail to the receiving terminal 13 (step S205).

  As a result, the recording message (voice information) recorded by the caller 10 as the contact information for the callee 12 on the callee terminal 13 of the callee 12 is recorded as an e-mail message number and time. The data is received in the form of text data with stamp information attached and displayed on the receiving terminal 13 on the screen. Thus, the callee 12 of the receiving terminal 13 confirms the electronic mail automatically delivered from the recorded message playback device 30, so that the contact information (message) from the caller 10 is recorded in the recorded message playback device 30. That the recorded message is stored as a recorded message, and the recorded message is displayed on the screen as "text data with message number / time stamp", so that the outline of the recorded message is visually confirmed. be able to.

  Next, an example of the operation following the flowchart of FIG. 3 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 4 regarding the operation of the recorded message reproduction device 30 shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the operation on the receiving terminal 13 side following the flowchart of FIG. 3 of the recorded message playback device 30 of FIG. Shows an example of the operation on the receiving terminal 13 side until the recipient 12 who visually confirms the outline of the recorded message reproduces and confirms the important part of the recorded message of the sender 10 for the recipient 12 as voice information. ing. In addition, in response to a request from the receiving terminal 13 of the callee 12, an operation until the important part of the recorded message of the caller 10 for the callee 12 is reproduced as voice information and transmitted to the callee terminal 13 is described. This will be described later as a flowchart of FIG.

The caller 12 who visually confirmed the outline of the recorded message of the caller 10 for the callee 12 as text data by the operation shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3 is reproduced and confirmed as voice information by the important part of the recorded message. If you want to do this,
(1) Password (2) Message number (3) Playback start position information is set, and the telephone number of the recorded message playback device 30 is input as the incoming call number, so that the recorded message playback device 30 is transmitted via the network 20. Is transmitted (step S301).

  For example, the telephone number (incoming telephone number) of the recording message playback apparatus 30 is “03-1234-5678”, the password for recording message playback is “9876”, the message number of the recording message to be played back is “99”, Assuming that the reproduction start position information is “02”, the callee 12 dials “0312345678 * 98776902”, for example, to make a call from the call receiving terminal 13 to the network 20. Here, “0312345678” is a called telephone number for designating a destination telephone number, and “98776902” following “*” is a called subaddress used for designating a password, a message number, and reproduction start position information. .

  When the network 20 receives the transmission information from the receiving terminal 13 such as “0312345678 * 98776902”, the network 20 identifies from the incoming telephone number “0312345678” that it is an outgoing call to the recorded message playback device 30, and further transmits it as the incoming subaddress. From “9876”, the password for user authentication of the called party 12 is “9876”, for example. From “99”, the message number of the recording message requesting reproduction is “99”, for example. "Is identified that the reproduction start position information indicating the reproduction position of the recorded message is, for example," 02 ".

  Thereafter, the network 20 includes at least a password for user authentication, for example, “9876”, a message number of a recording message for which reproduction is requested, for example, “99”, and reproduction start position information, for example, “02”. “Call setting” information including the caller information of the terminal 13, for example, “039987543” (including the calling subaddress in some cases) as caller information is generated and received by the recorded message playback device 30 specified as the destination To do. Here, the password, the message number, and the reproduction start position information set in the “call setting” information may be set using the called subaddress in the “call setting” information.

  The reproduction password, for example, “9876” is a password for user authentication for authenticating the called party 12 who can use the service of the recording message reproduction apparatus 30, and user information of the recording message reproduction apparatus 30. Reproduction of recorded message as to whether or not the user is permitted to reproduce and transmit a recorded message for caller 12 of caller 10 by checking with a password registered in advance in password 62 of storage unit 52. Used for authentication in the device 30.

  The message number of the recorded message to be reproduced, for example, “99” is used to specify the recorded message to be reproduced and transmitted among the recorded messages recorded and stored in the recorded data storage unit 51 of the recorded message reproducing device 30. The recipient 12 uses the message number given at the head of the “text message with message number / time stamp” received in the flowchart of FIG. 3 (for example, a number sandwiched between message number identifiers “■”). Can be obtained by referring to.

  The recording message playback start position information, for example, “02” is inserted as a number indicating the order of occurrence of silent intervals from the start of recording among the recording messages specified by the message number as recording messages to be played back and transmitted. 3 is used for designating a wireless section followed by voice information containing an important part that the called party 12 wants to hear as a playback start position. The time stamp information (for example, the time stamp information identifier “ Numbers sandwiched by “☆”) by referring to the recorded message, the recipient The important part of the message for 2 can acquire the start position of the portion to be reproduced as audio information.

  In addition, although the receiving terminal 13 illustrated the case where a password, a message number, and reproduction | regeneration start position information are set as an arrival subaddress, this invention is not restricted only to such a case, For example, a 2nd dial tone transmission / reception function The password, the message number, and the reproduction start position information may be input after the second dial tone is transmitted, and may be input separately from the called telephone number.

  After sending to the destination recorded message playback device 30 in step S301, when the user authentication of the called party 12 is obtained in the recorded message playback device 30, playback start position information on the recorded message of the message number input by the called party 12 is obtained. From the reproduction position designated by the above, the operation of reproducing as voice information is performed, and the reproduced voice information of the caller 10 is transmitted from the recording message reproduction device 30 to the receiving terminal 13, so that the callee 12 A recorded message reproduced and output from the terminal 13 can be heard (step S302). When the callee 12 finishes listening to the recorded message, it disconnects (step S303). Thus, the callee 12 can quickly and surely listen to the part of the recorded message of the caller 10 for the callee 12 that he / she wants to hear as the voice of the caller 10 himself / herself.

  Next, with regard to the operation of the recorded message playback device 30 shown in FIG. 1, an example of the playback operation of the recorded message on the recorded message playback device 30 side that operates together with the flowchart at the receiving terminal 13 in FIG. The details will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the operation of the recorded message playback device 30 side of the recorded message playback device 30 of FIG. 1 following the flowchart of FIG. 3, and is transmitted by “text data with message number / time stamp”. A part designated by the callee 12 as an important part of the caller 10's recorded message for the callee 12 in response to a request from the callee terminal 13 of the callee 12 who visually confirms the outline of the callee's 10 recording message. Is described as an example of the operation on the recorded message playback device 30 side until the message is played back as voice information and transmitted to the request receiving terminal 13.

  In the flowchart shown in FIG. 5, the network 20 uses the password from the receiving terminal 13 such as “9876”, the message number such as “99”, the reproduction start position information such as “02”, and the arrival subaddress of the “call setting” information. The recorded message playback device 30 sets a password such as “9876”, a message number such as “99”, and playback start position information such as “02” from the received subaddress of the received “call setting” information. However, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to such a case as described above.

  When the “call setting” information, which is an incoming call via the network 20, is transmitted from the receiving terminal 13 that requests the reproduction of the recorded message by the operation shown in the flowchart of FIG. Then, the call processing unit 31 is activated, and the “call setting” information is analyzed to determine whether the information is normal “call setting” information (step S401). If it is determined that the information is normal “call setting” information and the incoming sequence related to the “call setting” information is advanced, then the calling telephone number of the receiving terminal 13 included in the “call setting” information, for example, “ “039876543” and a password such as “9876” are confirmed, the “call setting” information is received, and it is determined whether or not the reproduction of the recorded message is permitted (step S402).

  That is, the collation unit 32 uses the calling terminal number of the receiving terminal 13 included in the received “call setting” information, for example, “039987543”, to the password 62 of the user information storage unit 52 of the storage unit 50 and A password registered in advance for user authentication is taken out and collated with a password such as “9876” included in the destination subaddress of the received “call setting” information (step S402). (In the case of “password match” in step S402), the operation of reproducing and transmitting the requested recording message is permitted. On the other hand, in the case of mismatch (in the case of “password mismatch” in step S402), the requested Rejecting the recorded message and performing abandonment processing of the incoming call related to the received “call setting” information (step 471).

  In step S402, if the passwords match and user authentication based on the password is obtained (in the case of “password match” in step S402), next, a message number such as “99” is added to the destination subaddress of the received “call setting” information. ] Or the like is present (step S403). When a message number such as “99” does not exist in the destination subaddress of the “call setting” information (in the case of “no message number” in step S403), it is possible to specify which recorded message is requested to be played back. In order to instruct the recipient 12 of the incoming call terminal 13 that is the origin of the incoming call to input the message number, first, the call processing unit 34 is activated and the incoming call terminal is started. 13 is set in a call state (step S461), and then the playback / recording unit 35 uses, as voice information, a guidance message for prompting input of a message number for designating a recording message to be played back. After sending the message to the receiving terminal 13 (step S462), the input of the message number from the receiving terminal 13 is waited (step S463).

  On the other hand, if a message number such as “99” is present in the destination subaddress of the “call setting” information (“message number is present” in step S403), the call processing unit 34 connects to the receiving terminal 13. After the call state is set, the playback / recording unit 35 then receives the received “call setting” information from the recording message recorded in the recording message 73 of the recording data storage unit 51 of the storage unit 50. The recorded message specified by the message number set in the subaddress is read, and it is confirmed whether or not reproduction start position information such as “02” is specified in the received subaddress of the received “call setting” information (step S404). When the reproduction start position information such as “02” is not specified as the destination subaddress of the “call setting” information (“No reproduction start position information” in step S404), the head of the recording message read from the recording message 73 is read. Playback is started and sent to the receiving terminal 13 as voice information (step S451).

  On the other hand, when reproduction start position information such as “02” is designated as the destination subaddress of the “call setting” information (in the case of “with reproduction start position information” in step S404), it is read from the recording message 73. Of the recorded message, playback is started from the set position (time position) of the time stamp information indicated by the playback start position information specified by the destination subaddress of the “call setting” information, for example, “02”, and received as voice information The data is sent to the terminal 13 (step S405). As a result, the designated recording message is reproduced and output from the designated reproduction start time position from the receiving terminal 13 of the callee 12 who has requested reproduction.

(Explanation of effect of embodiment)
As described in detail above, the following effects are obtained in the present embodiment.

  The first effect is that the callee 12 of the call receiving terminal 13 can immediately reproduce the voice message from the part where he / she wants to listen to the recorded message for the callee 12.

  The reason is that when the callee 12 performs a call operation to the recording message playback device 30 as a recording message playback request, the message number specifying the recording message to request playback and the playback specifying the playback start position of the recording message. This is because the start position information is input, and “call setting” information including the message number and the reproduction start position information is transmitted to the recorded message reproduction apparatus 30 as an outgoing call. That is, in the recording message playback device 30 that has received the “call setting” information as an incoming call, the recording message to be played back and the playback start position of the recording message in the analysis stage of the “call setting” information in the call processing unit 31. After the call processing unit 34 establishes a call state with the caller receiving terminal 13, the playback / recording unit 35 immediately starts the specified recording message from the specified playback start position. This is because the data is reproduced as a voice information and sent to the requesting receiving terminal 13 as voice information.

  The second effect is that the incoming line of the recorded message playback device 30 can be effectively used.

  The reason is that when the callee 12 performs a call operation for the recorded message playback device 30, in addition to the message number and the playback start position information, the password for authentication of the callee 12 is input, and the password is set. This is because the “call setting” information including the message is transmitted to the recorded message reproduction device 30 as an outgoing call. That is, in the recorded message playback apparatus 30 that has received the “call setting” information as an incoming call, the password verification by the verification unit 32 is performed at the stage of analysis of the “call setting” information in the call processing unit 31 before setting the call state. This is because it is possible to determine whether or not to permit the reproduction operation of the designated recording message based on the result.

  More specifically, when an unauthorized user who does not know the password accesses the recorded message playback device 30, the call can be abandoned without establishing a call. This is because the time required to occupy the incoming line can be completed within the time until the analysis processing of the “call setting” information.

  Furthermore, even when there is an access from a legitimate callee 12, it is possible to determine the recording message to be played back at the analysis process stage of the “call setting” information. The communication time for deciding the recording message to be reproduced with the communication terminal 12 is unnecessary, and the holding time of the incoming line of the recording message reproduction apparatus 30 can be saved. Furthermore, since the recorded message can be reproduced only from the designated reproduction start position instead of all the designated recorded messages, the hold time of the incoming line of the recorded message reproduction apparatus 30 can be maintained. Can be saved.

  The third effect is that the callee 12 can visually confirm the recorded message for the callee 12 and can understand the outline of the record message in a short time.

  The reason is that the recorded message for the called party 12 is converted from the recorded message playback device 30 into text data and automatically sent to the receiving terminal 13 of the called party 12 as an e-mail. The called party 12 can grasp the outline of the recorded message by displaying the electronic mail from the recorded message playback device 30 on the screen. In general, compared to listening to all recorded messages as audio information, it is better to visually check the recorded messages when they are converted to text data and displayed on the screen. Can be understood in a short time. Therefore, if the callee 12 who has grasped the outline of the recorded message determines that the recorded message does not need to be reproduced as voice information, the callee's holding time of the incoming line of the recorded message reproduction apparatus 30 can be greatly reduced. Is also possible.

  The configuration of the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above. However, it should be noted that such examples are merely illustrative of the invention and do not limit the invention in any way. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that various modifications and changes can be made according to a specific application without departing from the gist of the present invention.
