Embodiment Construction

[0014] figure 1 Indicates an information receiving device. The device has a receiving unit 11 for receiving information from a remote transmitter via a communication network 10, a clock 12 for keeping time, a signal unit 13 for controlling attention signals output to an output 19, and A control unit 14 . Furthermore, the device has a recording and playback unit 17 for temporarily recording information and reproducing them at a later time. The recording function can be implemented as a magnetic tape recorder, or as a digital recording function in which audio messages are encoded according to an encoding algorithm and the audio information is stored in a semiconductor memory. The control unit has an input unit 15 for receiving user commands, eg via user buttons 16 . The control unit 14 is implemented as a processor unit with memory and control logic. Optionally, the control unit can be implemented as a state machine, eg in a dedicated IC. The control unit 14 performs basic ...

Abstract

A device for receiving messages like a combination of an alarm clock and an answering machine has a message receiving unit (11), a recording and playback unit (17), a clock (12), and controls an attention signal. The device has a do-not-disturb mode, an alarm mode, and times can be selected for the do-not-disturb mode and / or the alarm mode. In the do-not-disturb mode, messages are recorded and the attention signal is suppressed. The device has a response unit (20) for providing an override function for the remote sender for overriding a mode set by the user. Hence, the sender receives a response that the device is in the do-not-disturb mode, and has the option to generate the attention signal in spite of the do-not-disturb mode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for receiving information comprising a receiving unit for receiving information from a remote transmitter, a clock for keeping time, a signaling unit for controlling attention signals, for receiving user commands and A control unit for controlling functions of said device, for recording information at least during said do-not-disturb mode and a record / playback unit for reproducing recorded information, said device functions comprising do-not-disturb mode, alarm Mode and select time for Do Not Disturb and / or Alarm mode settings. Background technique [0002] A device for playing recorded audio at a selected time is known from US Patent No. 5,555,536. The device includes a connected alarm clock and recorder. Recorded audio can be played at a time selected by the user. The recorder may include an answering machine for receiving information from a telephone network. The device may be set to a do not disturb mode, where...
