Telephone microprocessor system

An electronic telephone comprising:

• keyboard input means;
• telephone line interface means;
• message recorder means connected to telephone line interface;
• speech synthesis means connected to telephone line interface;
• an electronic digital processor system further comprising:
• memory means for storage of data and commands which define operations on said data;
• arithmetic and logic means for performing said operations on said data;
• first and second independent and simultaneously operable central processing units for executing said commands on said data;
• control circuitry for obtaining from said memory said commands and said data and transferring said commands to said first and said second central processing units;
• first input means coupled to said keyboard means for providing telephone number inputs to said first central processing unit;
• first output means coupled to said keyboard means for acknowledging the said input telephone numbers;
• second input means coupled to said telephone line interface to detect incoming telephone calls;
• second output means connected to said message recorder to activate said message recorder to record said incoming telephone calls;
• third output means coupled to said speech synthesis
• display means;
• telephone line interface means;
• repertory dialer means coupled to said telephone line interface means;
• speech synthesis means coupled to said telephone line interface means;
• message recorder means coupled to said telephone line interface means;
• an electronic digital processor system further comprising:
• memory means for storage of data and commands which define operations on said data;
• arithmetic and logic means for performing operations on said data;
• first and second independent and simultaneously operable central processing units for executing said commands on said data;
• control circuitry for obtaining from said memory said commands and said data and transferring said commands to said first and to said second central processing units;
• first input means coupled to said keyboard means to input a telephone number to said first central processing unit;
• first output means coupled to said keyboard input means and display means to acknowledge the input of said telephone number to said keyboard means and to display said telephone number on said display means;
• second input means coupled to said telephone line interface means to receive occurrence of an incoming telephone call;
• means to activate speech synthesis audio connection to means to answer said incoming telephone calls with a predetermined speech syntheseis message;
• a plurality of data paths that couple said first central processing unit to said memory means, said arithmetic and logic means, said first input means, said first output means, and said third output means;
• and couples said second central processing unit to said memory means, said arithmetic and logic means, said second input means, said second output means, and said third output means.
