When receiving voice mail data from a server 11, a terminal 13 or 14 stores the voice mail data in a memory. Subsequently, the data is read, converted to a voice and outputted. Furthermore, when inputting a voice mail during the output of the voice, the terminal 13 or 14 generates a signal including a voice mail data reading position of the memory at the time of input, data of the inputted voice mail and a self terminal identification number as a mail editing signal to transmit the signal to the server 11. When receiving the mail editing signal, the server 11 inserts or attaches and re-accumulates the voice mail data in the mail editing signal to a position indicated by the mail editing signal of a memory region of a memory 15 allocated to a transmitting-end terminal. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Wherefore, an object of the invention is to provide a voice mail system in which self voice data can be easily attached and returned by eliminating redundant voice data as much as possible.
Another object is to provide a voice mail system in which a bi-directional voice mail communication can be realized.
To attain these and other objects, the present invention provides a voice mail system in which a server is connected via a communication medium to at least one terminal and the server manages a memory for storing plural voice mail data as identifiable files in a memory region allocated to each terminal.
The server has transmission means for, when a mail request is received via the communication medium from the terminal, reading the voice mail data from a memory region of the memory allocated to a transmitting-end terminal to transmit the data to the transmitting-end terminal; and memory control means for, when a mail editing signal is received, inserting or attaching and re-accumulating the voice mail data in the mail editing signal to a position indicated by the mail editing signal of the memory region of the memory allocated to the transmitting-end terminal.
Each terminal has mail request transmission means for transmitting the mail request via the communication medium to the server; memory means for, when the voice mail data is received via the communication medium from the server, storing the received voice mail data; conversion means for converting the received voice mail data read from the memory means into a voice to output the voice; input means for entering optional voice mail data; and signal transmission means for, when a voice mail is inputted by the input means while the voice is outputted from the conversion means, generating a signal including a position of the memory means from which the received voice mail data is read at the time of input, data of the inputted voice mail and a self terminal identification number as the mail editing signal to transmit the mail editing signal via the communication medium to the server
