Abstract: An automatic telephone answering and recording apparatus for communicating between calling and called subscriber stations connected in a telephone system, comprising: a speaking circuit provided at a called subscriber station; first means operating in response to a call signal transmitted by a calling subscriber station over a telephone line to connect the speaking circuit to the calling subscriber station; second means responsive to the operation of the first means for recording an incoming message transmitted from the calling subscriber station over the telephone line on a first recording medium located at the called subscriber station; counting means for counting the number of operations of the first means and storing the number so obtained; third means responsive to the counting means for producing a first aural synthesis output corresponding to the stored number in said counting means and transmitting the first aural synthesis output over the telephone line; and fourth means connected between the speakin

Abstract: An automatic telephone answering and recording apparatus for communicating between calling and called subscriber stations connected in a telephone system having a speaking circuit provided at a called subscriber station, first means responsive to a call signal transmitted by a calling subscriber station over a telephone line to connect the speaking circuit to the calling subscriber station, second means responsive to the first means for transmitting an answering message previously recorded on a first recording medium located at the called subscriber station to the calling subscriber station in response to the call signal, a first radio transmitter and receiver set coupled to the speaking circuit, and a second radio transmitter and receiver set wirelessly coupled to the first radio transmitter and receiver set.

Abstract: An automatic telephone answering and recording apparatus comprising: a speaking circuit; first means operating in response to a call signal from a caller transmitted over a telephone line to connect the speaking circuit to the telephone line associated with the caller; a recording/reproducing means coupled to the speaking circuit for recording an incoming message from the caller in its recording mode of operation, and transmitting a previously recorded incoming message to the telephone line through the speaking circuit in its reproducing mode of operation; selection means for selecting the operation mode of the recording/reproducing means; and control means connected between the speaking circuit and the selection means for controlling the selection means, the control means including a voice recognition means and a previously registered specific message from a subscriber and being operative to control the selection means to select the recording mode when the voice recognition means receives an incoming message
