Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow the system to predict an end of speech to the user before an inter-slave-set direct speech limit time comes by monitoring an elapsed time of a speech from the start of the inter-slave-set direct speech and predicting the end of speech when the elapsed time reaches a warning time. SOLUTION: When an operation section 6 selects the inter-slave-set direct speech, a speech means 2a of a control section 2 calls a personal handy phone system of a speech opposite party, and activates a timer 2c as the speech is started and starts a warning control means 2b and controls the speech while monitoring the timer 2c. After the lapse of 3 minutes by the timer 2c, the speech is cut off. The warning control means 2b of the control section 2 is started by the speech means 2a at the start of the inter-slave-set direct speech and monitors the consecutive speech time of the inter-slave-set direct speech by the timer 2c and provides an output of a warning tone when the time reaches a preset specific time (warning time: e.g. 2min 45sec) before the limit time.
