ABSTRACT:
In this telephone answering device, a new outgoing announcement can be recorded under remote control via the telephone line. To accomplish this, the user calls his own number. During the incoming message record portion of the resultant answering cycle, the user sends a coded signal over the telephone line. As a result, the message tape is stopped, and the announcement tape is driven. As the user then speaks the new announcement, it is amplified and recorded onto the announcement tape instead of onto the message tape. Switching circuitry is minimized since the amplifier already is conditioned for operation in the incoming message record mode. In addition, the prior announcement is erased, and generation of the audio tone which normally occurs at the end of the outgoing announcement is inhibited.
When the new announcement has been recorded, the device automatically returns to the announcement transmit portion of the answering cycle. The new message is played out for verification. The device completes the answering cycle and shuts down in readiness for the next call.
Another answering device is disclosed in which the outgoing announcement is contained in digital format in a read only memory. When a call is answered, the memory is read out and the contents are converted to audio by a speech synthesizer or a microprocessor that is programmed to decode speech compression encoded signals.
