Abstract

See full text

When a business message, sent from a caller's phone, is recorded in the recording/playback section, the main control section makes a judgement as to whether or not any phone number that coincides with the caller's phone number contained in caller's information received by the caller information receiving section has been recorded in a storage section. If the judgment shows that there is a coincided phone number, it provides a special display in which, for example, the back light or LED of the display section is allowed to flicker, for example, at intervals of 4 Hz, or the illumination color of the back light or the LED is changed, or a message, such as 'a business message from Mr. O O', is displayed. Thus, the answer phone makes it possible for the user to positively recognize whether or not a business message from a desired caller has been recorded promptly.
