1. A response control system comprising:
- first storing means for obtaining encoded first sound piece data, for attaching a first descriptor to respective encoded first sound piece data which represent units of a sentence part and for storing the first descriptor and corresponding encoded first sound piece data,second storing means for obtaining encoded second sound piece data, for attaching a second descriptor to respective encoded second sound piece data which represent units of a sentence part and for storing the second descriptor and corresponding encoded second sound piece data,third storing means for using the first and second descriptors stored in said first and second storing means to produce a plurality of sentence structures constituting a sentence and for storing the sentence structures, andcontrol means for receiving a voice output request signal including designation data, for reading a sentence structure from said third storing means in accordance with said voice output request signal, for selecting among the first sound piece data and the second sound piece data based on the designation data to form voice data and for outputting a voice response signal indicative of the voice data.

Abstract
The kind of medium owned by a user is stored in a service center system and a medium is determined by a request from the transmitting side in accordance with an inquiry to a receiver. Where a voice is used as a medium for the inquiry or the service, the sound piece data to which a descriptor is added and the sentence structure data for forming a single sentence by collecting the sound piece data and formed by a descriptor are stored. When the voice output request is produced, the sound piece data is obtained from the sentence structure data, thereby producing a voice of a desired sentence.

2. A response control system for use in a service system, said response control system comprising a telephone terminal apparatus for transmitting designation data over a line, said response control system comprising:
-
first storing means for obtaining encoded first sound piece data, for attaching a first descriptor to respective encoded first sound piece data which represent units of a sentence part and for storing the first descriptor and corresponding encoded first sound piece data, second storing means for obtaining encoded second sound piece data, for attaching a second descriptor to respective different encoded sound piece data which represent units of a sentence part and for storing the second descriptor and corresponding encoded second sound piece data, voice output request signal producing means for determining a sentence structure based on the designation data and using the designation data to designate sound piece data stored in said second storing means to produce a voice output request signal; third storing means for using the first and second descriptors stored in said first and second storing means to produce a plurality of sentence structures constituting a sentence and for storing the sentence structures, and control means for receiving a voice output request signal including designation data, for reading from said third storing means a sentence structure corresponding to the voice output request signal, for selecting among the first sound piece data and the second sound piece data based on the designation data to form voice data and for outputting a voice response signal indicative of the voice data. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4)

5. A response control system for use in a service system having a computer connected by a line to an exchange apparatus and connected to a terminal that outputs special information corresponding to the exchange apparatus, comprising:
-
first storing means for obtaining encoded first sound piece data, for attaching a first descriptor to respective encoded first sound piece data which represent units of a sentence part and for storing the first descriptor and corresponding encoded first sound piece data, second storing means for obtaining encoded second sound piece data, for attaching a second descriptor to respective encoded second sound piece data which represent units of a sentence part and for storing the second descriptor and corresponding encoded second sound piece data, request signal generating means for determining a sentence structure based on the special information output from the terminal corresponding to the exchange apparatus and for attaching designation data to the first sound data to produce a voice output request signal, third storing means for using the first and second descriptors stored in said first and second storing means to produce a plurality of sentence structures constituting a sentence and for storing the sentence structures, and control means for receiving a voice output request signal including the designation data, for reading from said third storing means a sentence structure corresponding to the voice output request signal, for selecting among the first sound piece data and the second sound piece data based on the designation data, and for outputting a voice response signal indicative of the voice data. - View Dependent Claims (6)
