Abstract
A voice information transfer system transfers voice information in a form of an optical signal from a first voice information processing apparatus to a second voice information processing apparatus. The first apparatus includes a transfer enable signal reception unit for receiving a transfer enable signal for enabling transfer of the voice information from the second apparatus in a noncontact state, and a voice information transmission unit for transmitting the voice information converted into the optical signal to the second apparatus when the transfer enable signal reception unit receives the transfer enable signal from the second apparatus. The second apparatus includes a proximity detecting unit for detecting proximity of the first apparatus, a transfer enable signal transmission unit for transmitting the transfer enable signal to the first apparatus when the proximity detecting unit detects the proximity, and a voice information reception unit for receiving the voice information from the first apparatus, which is converted into the optical signal, in a noncontact state.
