解決しようとする問題点は、従来の特殊な目的のパソコン電話を一般的な会社や個人にまで広げようとする時、使用の簡単便利なことを目的に開発する点である。 The problem to be solved is that it is developed for the purpose of being easy to use and convenient when trying to extend a conventional special purpose PC phone to general companies and individuals.

Issues that solve issues

本発明はパソコンと通信を一体化したことによりパソコンの持つ起動時間の長さを通信にかぎって瞬時のものとし、通信を付加してもパソコン本来の機能を持ち、さらに通信に切り替わった場合、ただちに受信と送信が出来るとともに自動的に相手先の一覧表が出て受信の場合相手を表示し、送信の場合相手先を選択しさらに通信の種類（電話、ファックス、インターネット、メール）が選択できるようにすることを主要な特徴とする。
また、電話番号やアドレス等が登録し易く通常は相手先の名前だけで通信できること、パソコンと通信が同時に使用出来ること、受話器にスイッチを取り付け、これを取り上げた場合は電話画面になり、置けばパソコンまたは電話の待機状態になり、受話器をひっくり返して置けば電話が継続することを主要な特徴とする。The present invention integrates the personal computer and the communication so that the length of the startup time of the personal computer is limited to that of the communication, and even if the communication is added, it has the original function of the personal computer, and further switches to communication. You can receive and send immediately, and a list of recipients is automatically displayed. When receiving, the recipients are displayed. When sending, the recipient is selected and the type of communication (phone, fax, Internet, mail) can be selected The main feature is to do so.
In addition, it is easy to register phone numbers and addresses, etc., and it is usually possible to communicate only with the name of the other party, to be able to use communication with a personal computer at the same time, and when a switch is attached to the handset, The main feature is that the telephone continues when the PC or telephone is in a standby state and the handset is turned over.

The invention's effect

本発明のパソコン電話は特殊な用途ではなく、一般的な家庭や個人、事務所等で広く使用出来るという利点がある。
従来机の上にパソコン、電話、各種の電話番号簿、等が置いてあったものが、パソコンだけ置くようになる。
携帯電話は事務所で使うには小さすぎて不便であるため携帯電話のほかに通常の電話を事務所や一般家庭で使用している。
これも携帯電話を通信手段に使えば一般電話以上の使い良さと外出時の持ち歩き、パソコン使用で両方の役にたつ。The personal computer telephone of the present invention is not a special application but has an advantage that it can be widely used in general homes, individuals, offices and the like.
What used to be a personal computer, telephone, and various phone numbers on a desk is now placed on the personal computer.
Since mobile phones are too small and inconvenient to use in offices, regular phones are used in offices and general homes in addition to mobile phones.
If a mobile phone is used as a communication means, it can be used for both the convenience of using over a regular phone, carrying around when going out, and using a personal computer.

従来パソコンは電源系が一つでプログラムの立ち上がりに掛かる時間も全部同じであった。
本発明ではこれを２系統に分け通信の応答時間を短くしている。
パソコンの機能を持つ部分の電源を切っても通信の機能を持つ部分の電源は入った状態を維持し、画面表示を消して省電力の状態で通信の送受信を待機する。
通信が使用状態になったときはただちに画面表示が復帰しキーボードも電話用に切り替わる。
すでに古いパソコンを使用しているためこれを使用したい場合は同様な性能をソフトで実現する。
このためパソコンは常時電源を入りにしておき、なにも使用しないときは通信の待機を行う。
電話に切り替わった場合、自動的に相手先の一覧表が出て、これを選択することが出来るとともに、この相手先に対して電話、ファックス、インターネット、メール等が選択できる。
ファックス、インターネット、メール、等についてはそれぞれのシステムを従来通り使用開始するかまたは受信すると自動的に相手先の一覧表が出る。Conventional PCs have a single power supply system, and the time required for the start-up of the program is the same.
In the present invention, this is divided into two systems to shorten the communication response time.
Even if the part with the PC function is turned off, the part with the communication function is kept on, the screen display is turned off, and the transmission / reception of the communication is waited in the power saving state.
As soon as the communication is in use, the screen display is restored and the keyboard is switched for the telephone.
If you want to use this because you already have an old computer, you can achieve the same performance with software.
For this reason, the personal computer is always turned on and waits for communication when nothing is used.
When switching to a telephone, a list of destinations is automatically displayed and can be selected, and telephone, fax, Internet, mail, etc. can be selected for this destination.
For fax, internet, mail, etc., a list of destinations automatically appears when each system is started or received as usual.

また、長時間通信が続くと通信を切る予告を画面に出した後一定時間後に通信の待機状態に戻る。
さらに、通信の最中でもパソコンとして機能出来るようにする。
ソフト以外の特徴として細い棒状の先にマイクを付けたり、受話器を取り上げるとパソコンが電話器になり、置くとパソコンまたは電話の待機状態になるためのスイッチを設ける等の工夫がある。
受話器をひっくり返して置けば電話中となる。Further, if communication is continued for a long time, a notice of disconnection is displayed on the screen, and the communication standby state is restored after a certain time.
In addition, it can function as a personal computer even during communication.
Other than software, there is a contrivance such as attaching a microphone to a thin rod-shaped tip, or taking a handset to turn a personal computer into a telephone, and placing it on a personal computer or a telephone standby state.
Turn the handset upside down and you are on the phone.
