In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a telephone, comprising: setting information input means for receiving setting information from a user; Control means for controlling the storage means to check whether a date on which the user sets the information is to be output and output the setting information of the corresponding date stored in the storage means; Storing means for storing setting information received from the setting information input means and outputting setting information of a corresponding date according to a control signal of the control means; And a speech synthesizing means for converting the setting information received from the storage means into speech and outputting the speech to the user.

In addition, the telephone of the present invention is characterized in that it further comprises a screen display means for allowing the user to confirm the information set by displaying the setting information received from the setting information input means on the screen.

The above objects, features and advantages will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is an exemplary configuration diagram of a telephone to which the present invention is applied.

The telephone to which the present invention is applied includes a communication button 11 for processing a telephone button 10 for inputting a desired number and an inputted telephone number and communicating with an exchange to transmit / receive data as in a conventional telephone. A device 13 added in accordance with the present invention to a device having a handset 12 for outputting a voice signal of the other party and for inputting a sender's voice is connected to the telephone button 10 and the handset 12.

2 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment of a telephone to which a device for notifying the setting contents of the day is added to a user-specified day according to the present invention.

The device 13 added to the telephone according to the present invention is a setting information input unit for transferring setting information such as a date, an event content, an appointment content, an anniversary date, etc. input by a user to the screen display unit 25 and the memory unit 22. (21), a screen display unit 25 for allowing a user to check the information set by displaying the setting information (date and event content, appointment content, anniversary, etc.) received from the setting information input unit 21 on the screen; A setting received from the control unit 24 and the setting information input unit 21 for controlling the memory unit 22 to check whether a date specified by the user has been output and to output setting information of the corresponding date stored in the memory unit 22. The memory unit 22 and the setting information received from the memory unit 22 for storing the information and transmitting the setting information of the corresponding date to the speech synthesis unit 23 according to the control signal of the controller 24. By the conversion to speech and a speech synthesis section 23 to output to the user.

Here, the screen display unit 25 is added to improve the convenience of the user, and is not an essential component of the present invention.

Next, the function and operation of each component will be described in more detail as follows.

The setting information input unit 21 allows a date to be input using an existing telephone button. In addition to the number buttons on the existing phone, a date / event setting button and a button for selecting an event or an anniversary are separately set so that birthdays, sacrifices, anniversaries, participation dates, and other things to be remembered can be selected. . For setting method, press the date / event setting button first, and then press the event type selection button, and the event type will change sequentially each time you press the button. After entering, press the SET button to complete. The setting information such as the event date, the event contents, the appointment contents, the anniversary date, and the like are transmitted to the memory unit 22 and stored, and transmitted to the screen display unit 25 for display.

The memory unit 22 stores the input event type data (setting information) and the event date, and outputs the stored data to the speech synthesis unit 103 when the controller 24 receives the information that the corresponding day is reached. .

The speech synthesis unit 23 converts the setting information transmitted from the memory unit 22 into speech and outputs the content of the event date to the handset 12. For example, if the birthday information is delivered, the voice output "Who are somebody's birthday" will be output through the phone's handset.

The controller 24 compares the current date with the date of the event date input into the memory 22, and if it is the corresponding date, the controller 24 outputs the setting information of the date from the memory 22 to the speech synthesizer 103. The unit 22 is controlled. In this case, the phone rings one day before the input event date and the user may be informed that the event is one day before the event date. In addition, the user may ring at an interval of 1 hour until the user inputs that the user knew on the day of the event by using the event type button.

The screen display unit 25 informs the current time, and when the user sets the event date, the type of the event and the date of the event are displayed on the screen so that the user can set it while checking. The screen display unit 25 uses a liquid crystal display device.

The present invention described above is not limited to the above-described embodiments and the accompanying drawings, and various substitutions, modifications, and changes can be made in the art without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. It will be apparent to those of ordinary knowledge.

The present invention as described above, the user can be useful to avoid forgetting important appointments or events by setting the date and event details, appointment details, anniversary information, etc. before the designated date and the phone ring and voice on the designated date.
