Next, the operation of the transfer telephone will be described with reference to FIG.
This will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the user operates the operation unit 9 to register the telephone number of the person to be transferred in the telephone number memory unit 13 of the person to be transferred (step S1), and the telephone number of the transfer destination is stored in the transfer destination telephone number registration memory. It is registered in the section 14 (step S2). With the above, the initial setting operation is completed, and the standby state is entered. During standby, the control unit 1 determines whether or not there is an incoming call via the telephone lines 16a and 16b (step S3). If there is an incoming call, the telephone number data is sent via the data demodulating units 3a and 3b. It is received (step S4). Next, the control unit 1 determines whether or not the reception is completed (step S5), and when the reception is completed, the state of the mode switching unit 10 is read (step S6). Next, the control unit 1 determines whether or not the state of the mode switching unit 10 is the line transfer mode (step S7), and if it is the line transfer mode, it is registered in the telephone number memory unit 13 of the person who wants to transfer. The existing telephone number is compared with the telephone number of the received data (step S8), and it is determined whether there is a matching telephone number (step S9). If there is a matching telephone number, the control unit 1 sets a line different from the line that receives the call from the telephone lines 16a and 16b to the hook control unit 4.
Then, the telephone number of the transfer destination is read from the transfer destination telephone number registration memory unit 14 by the a and 4b (step S10), and the dial sending units 6a and 6b dial the transfer destination (step S11). Next, the control unit 1
Judges whether or not the other party's response has been detected by the polarity reversal detection units 5a, 5b (step S12), and if so, the hook control unit 4a, 4b of the telephone line 16a, 16b that is receiving the call. Off hook (step S13). Next, the control unit 1 turns on the switch unit 8 (step S14), and the transfer is completed (step S1).
5). Next, the control unit 1 determines whether or not one of the telephone lines 16a and 16b is detected to be on-hook by the polarity reversal detection units 5a and 5b (step S16), and it is detected that it is on-hook. Then, both telephone lines 16a and 16b are connected to the hook control units 4a and 4b.
Then, it is hooked on (step S17) and returns to step S3, that is, the standby state. In step S16, the telephone line 16 is detected by the polarity reversal detection units 5a and 5b.
If it is determined that one of the lines a and 16b has not been detected to be on-hook, step S16 is performed.
Return to. Further, in step S12, the polarity reversal detection unit 5
If it is determined that the other party's response is not detected by a and 5b, the process returns to step S12. If it is determined in step S5 that the reception has not ended, the process returns to step S5. In step S3, the telephone lines 16a, 16
If it is determined that there is no incoming call via b, the process returns to step S3.

If it is determined in step S9 that there is no matching telephone number, the telephone call is from a person who does not want to be transferred, and the answering machine operation is started. That is, first, the control unit 1 off-hooks the incoming line of the telephone lines 16a and 16b by the hook control units 4a and 4b (step S18), reads the response message from the response reproduction voice memory unit 11, and reproduces it. (Step S1
9). Next, the control unit 1 determines whether or not the reproduction of the response message is completed (step S20), and if completed, starts the message recording to the message recording voice memory unit 12 (step S20). S21). Next, the control unit 1 determines whether or not the recording of the other party, that is, the silent state continues for 5 seconds (step S22), and if the silent state continues for 5 seconds, record the message end signal (step S23). Next, the control unit 1 causes the hooked control unit 4a, 4b to hook on the incoming line (step S24), and returns to the standby state, that is, step S3. If it is determined in step S22 that the silent state has not continued for 5 seconds, the process returns to step S22. If it is determined in step S20 that the reproduction of the response message is not completed, step S20
Return to 20.

In step S7, the mode switching unit 1
If it is determined that the state of 0 is not the line transfer mode, the control unit 1 determines whether the mode switching unit 10 is in the message transfer mode (step S2).
5) If it is not the message message transfer mode, proceed to step S18 to operate only the answering machine. In the message message transfer mode, after recording the message message, the operation of transferring the message message is started. That is, the control unit 1 controls the telephone number memory unit 1 of the person who wants to transfer.
The telephone number registered in No. 3 is compared with the telephone number of the received data (step S26), and it is determined whether there is a matching telephone number (step S27). If there is a matching telephone number, the control unit 1 off-hooks the incoming line of the telephone lines 16a and 16b by the hook control units 4a and 4b (step S28), and returns the response message from the response reproduction voice memory unit 11. Is read out and reproduced (step S29). Next, the control unit 1 determines whether or not the reproduction of the response message is completed (step S30), and if it is completed, the message recording is started in the message recording voice memory unit 12 (step S30). S31). Next, the control unit 1
It is determined whether or not the other party has finished recording, that is, whether or not the silent state has continued for 5 seconds (step S32). If the silent state continues for 5 seconds, a message end signal is recorded (step S3).
3). Next, the control unit 1 causes the hook control units 4a and 4b to temporarily hook the line on which the call is received (step S34), and the hook control units 4a and 4b use the line to start the transfer operation. Off-hook (step S35). Next, the control unit 1 reads out the transfer destination telephone number from the transfer destination telephone number registration memory unit 14 and causes the dial sending units 6a and 6b to dial the transfer destination (step S36), and the polarity reversal detection units 5a and 5b.
Then, it is determined whether or not the response of the other party is detected (step S37). If it is detected, that is, if the transfer destination responds, whether the control unit 1 has read the message message already recorded from the message recording voice memory unit 12 and reproduced it (step S38) and reproduced the message end signal. It is determined whether or not (step S39). When the message end signal is reproduced, the line is hooked by the hook control units 4a and 4b (step S40), and the process returns to step S3 to enter the standby state.

In this way, by registering the telephone number of the person to be transferred in advance in the telephone number memory unit 13 of the person to be transferred, only the telephone from the person to be transferred is selectively transferred, and the other telephones are not transferred. In case of, answering machine can be recorded. Further, as in the present embodiment, the mode switching unit 10
By providing, it is possible to selectively transfer only the message messages from the other party to be transferred and not to transfer other message messages.
