Description

  The present invention relates to a radiotelephone apparatus, and more particularly to a radiotelephone apparatus that has both a public cellular telephone function and a private cordless telephone function.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a wireless telephone device, a configuration is known in which a standby area is automatically switched, and incoming transfer is set and canceled using the automatic switching as a trigger (see, for example, Patent Document 1). According to this wireless telephone apparatus, when a personal handy phone system (hereinafter abbreviated as PHS) telephone apparatus is located in a communicable area of the private network, the PHS telephone apparatus automatically issues a transfer cancellation request to the private network exchange. At the same time, a transfer registration request to the telephone number of the private network with respect to the telephone number of the public network is made to the public network switching office via the network of the public network switching office. On the other hand, when the PHS telephone device is located in the communicable area of the public network, the PHS telephone device automatically issues a transfer cancellation request to the public network exchange, and at the same time, the private network exchange via the network of the public network exchange Then, a transfer registration request to the telephone number of the public network for the telephone number of the private network is made. With the above operations for setting and canceling the incoming call transfer, it is possible to receive an incoming call at any of the two telephone numbers of the private mode and the public mode without being aware of the location of the PHS telephone device.

In addition, a wireless tag is provided near the entrance / exit of the private network area, and a wireless tag reader connected to or built in the wireless telephone device receives data indicating entry and exit from the wireless tag, and is automatically sent to the wireless telephone device. Some are configured to assign and cancel an extension number (see, for example, Patent Document 2). According to this wireless telephone apparatus, when the private branch exchange of the private network learns that a mobile station registered and registered in the public network has entered the service area of the private network that has not been registered in advance. The private branch exchange shifts at least one of the radio base stations constituting the private network to a state where subscriber registration can be performed, and transmits information necessary for subscriber registration to the mobile station via the public network. The mobile station that has transmitted and received the information performs subscriber registration with the private network via the radio base station that has entered a state in which subscriber registration can be performed. For this reason, switching between the public network and the private network can be performed with certainty, and extension calls of the private network can be made without going through the public network only when the private network is in the private network.
