By associating the designated caller telephone number data and the message data with each other and storing them in the message storage area MM of the storage unit 6b, and further displaying "Voice answering registration complete" on the display unit 5, Complete answering machine registration.

  To give a more specific example, when the mother user goes out, enter the caller telephone number “090123456” of the mobile phone that the user owns, or refer to the display of the telephone number book. If you specify the caller telephone number "090123456" and enter the message "Today's return will be late. From my mother." To inform the child who returned home from school, the caller The telephone number data and the message message data are stored and registered in the message storage area MM in association with each other. Thereby, when the user goes out, it is possible to register in advance a message message to be notified from the outside.

  Also, if the user wants to register a fixed telephone at work, for example, as an external telephone, enter the caller telephone number that is the telephone number of the fixed telephone or refer to the display of the telephone number book. When a caller telephone number is specified and a message is further input, the main control unit 3 associates the caller telephone number data with the message data and stores it in a predetermined message storage area MM. Remember.

  Further, for example, if the user inputs the caller telephone number and message of the mobile phone described above and further inputs the caller telephone number and message of the fixed telephone described above, two sets of calling The caller telephone number data and the message message data are newly registered in the message storage area MM of the storage unit 6b in association with each other. Further, two or more registrations can be performed by the user performing the same operation.

  In addition, when the user enters only one caller telephone number such as one or a plurality of external telephones or designates it by referring to the display of the telephone number book and confirms without entering a message, the main control The unit 3 causes only the inputted caller telephone number data to be registered in the message storage area MM.

  In addition, the user can enter the caller telephone number of an external telephone or the like without entering a message and enter the caller telephone number of an external telephone or the like. Then, the main control unit 3 registers the set of only the caller telephone number data and the set of the caller telephone number data and the business message in the storage area MM. In other words, the user can register the answering machine by confirming at least by inputting the calling party telephone number, and the calling party telephone number of the same external telephone or the like as long as the storage capacity of the storage area MM allows. Registering multiple callers, registering multiple caller telephone numbers such as different external telephones, and registering the same message in association with each caller telephone number. It is also possible to register a message in association with each caller telephone number.

  Although details are omitted, when the user appropriately operates a predetermined push button switch that is a function key for control and a predetermined push button switch that is a number key, a character key, or a symbol key. The data stored in the message storage area MM can be individually edited, newly registered, or deleted. Although not the answering machine registration process, when the user sets the telephone number book editing mode by performing the same operation as the above answering machine registration, the caller telephone number data to be stored in the telephone number book storage area MD Can be newly registered, updated, edited, or deleted.

  Next, when the user makes a phone call to the telephone A using an outside telephone or the like at a place where the user is out, the process shown in FIG.

  First, in step ST3, the main control unit 3 inputs a call signal from an external telephone or the like detected by the external line control unit 2, and detects the caller telephone number included in the call signal. . Furthermore, the time when the caller telephone number is detected (hereinafter referred to as “calling time”) is determined based on the time base built in the telephone A.

  Next, in step ST <b> 4, the main control unit 3 starts ringing of a ringing tone with a speaker provided in the operation unit 4. That is, a calling process for calling in a predetermined calling period is started. Further, the detected caller telephone number is displayed on the display unit 5 at the start of calling.

  Next, in step ST5, the main control unit 3 sets the caller telephone number data that matches the caller telephone number detected in step ST3 described above to the telephone number book storage area MD or the requirement storage area in the storage unit 6b. Check whether it is stored in MM. If the caller telephone number data matching the caller telephone number is stored in the storage area MD or the storage area MM (if Yes), the process proceeds to step ST6, and if not stored (No If), the process proceeds to step ST21.

  In step ST21, the telephone A performs normal processing. That is, the main control unit 3 checks whether or not the telephone A is on-hooked during the calling period. If the telephone is on-hooked, the main control unit 3 connects the external line transmission / reception unit 1 so that it can pass through. Alternatively, when the telephone by the external line telephone or the like is disconnected, the process goes to step ST14 to set the external line transmission / reception unit 1 to the line cutoff state, and the process for the telephone from the external telephone or the like is terminated.

  If the telephone A is not on-hook even after the calling period has elapsed, the external line transmitting / receiving unit 1 is connected so that it can pass through, and the FAX receiving mode or the answering voice recording mode is selected for the other party who made the call. After the prompt, if the FAX reception mode is selected, the FAX unit 6c performs FAX reception and printing, and if the answering recording mode is selected, the speech signal from the other party is recorded in the recording unit 6d. Let's record at. When the FAX reception and printing are completed, and the answering machine recording is completed, the process proceeds to step ST14, where the external line control unit 2 is instructed to set the external line transmission / reception unit 1 to the line cut-off state, and the external telephone or the like. The processing for the incoming call is terminated.

  Next, when the process proceeds from the above-described step ST5 to ST6, in step ST6, the main control unit 3 performs a time measuring process to check whether or not it is within the calling period for performing the above-described calling, If it is still within the calling period, in step ST7, it is checked whether or not the telephone by the external telephone or the like has been disconnected within the calling period. If the telephone has not been disconnected, whether telephone A has been on-hooked in step ST8. Check whether or not. If it is within the calling period and the telephone set by the external telephone or the like is not disconnected and the telephone set A is not on-hook, the processes of steps ST6, ST7, and ST8 are repeated. In step ST6, when the calling period has elapsed (in the case of No), the process proceeds to step ST15. In step ST7, if the telephone is disconnected by an external telephone or the like (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step ST11. If the telephone set A is on-hooked in ST8 (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step ST9.

  In step ST9, after stopping (termination) ringing of the ringing tone by the speaker, the main control unit 3 connects the external line transmitting / receiving unit 1 to the line and enables a telephone call between the telephone A and the external line telephone. Next, in step ST10, the main control unit 3 checks whether the telephone call A has been terminated and the telephone A has been disconnected by an off-hook or external telephone. Then, the processing of steps ST9 and ST10 is repeated until the telephone A is disconnected from the off-hook or external telephone, and when the telephone A is disconnected from the off-hook or external telephone, the process proceeds to step ST14 and the external line transmission / reception unit 1 is set to the line cut-off state, and the processing for the incoming call from the external telephone or the like is terminated.

  When the process shifts from step ST7 to step ST11, in step ST11, the main control unit 3 stores the registered contents stored and registered in the message storage area MM, that is, the caller detected in step ST3. The registered contents such as the caller telephone number data that matches the telephone number are analyzed, and in step ST12, the message message data associated with the caller telephone number data that matches the caller telephone number is displayed. Check if it is stored or registered. If the message message data is not stored (in the case of No), in step ST14, the external line transmitting / receiving unit 1 is set to the line cut-off state, and the process for the incoming call from the external telephone or the like is performed. finish.

  On the other hand, when the message message data associated with the caller telephone number data that matches the caller telephone number is stored in the above-described step ST12 (in the case of Yes), the main control unit 3 However, in step ST13, the associated caller telephone number data and message data are read from the message storage area MM and supplied to the display unit 5, and further the above-described data indicating the call time ( (Hereinafter referred to as “calling time data”) is supplied to the display unit 5 so that the calling party telephone number, message data and calling time are continuously displayed. The line transmission / reception unit 1 is set to the line cut-off state, and the process for the incoming call from the external telephone or the like is terminated.

  For example, when the mother calls the telephone A from the outside with a mobile phone having the above-mentioned calling party telephone number “090123456”, the calling party telephone number “090123456” and its calling are sent in step ST13. A message message “Today's return is late. From my mother” and the calling time are displayed on the display unit 5.

  As described above, when the processes of steps ST3 to ST7 and ST11 to ST14 are performed, the caller telephone number such as an external telephone, the message, and the call time are displayed on the screen of the display unit 5. Further, the caller telephone number of the external telephone or the like, the business message, and the call time are continuously displayed even when the line is cut off in step ST14, and a predetermined push provided on the operation unit 4 of the telephone A. It is continuously displayed until the display stop operation is performed by the button switch. For this reason, the user can easily notify the registered message by simply calling the telephone A using a registered external telephone or the like from a place outside the office. Furthermore, if the user calls the telephone A using a registered external telephone, etc. and hangs up within the calling period, the registered message can be notified. You can notify registered business messages without charge.

  Returning to step ST6, the description will be continued. When the calling period elapses without being disconnected, as described above, the process proceeds from step ST6 to step ST15.

  In step ST15, the main control unit 3 finishes ringing the ringer by the speaker, and further makes a call that matches the caller telephone number such as an external telephone stored in the message storage area MM of the storage unit 6b. By supplying the subscriber telephone number data and the message message data associated therewith to the signal converter 6a, the caller telephone number data and the message message data are converted (modulated) into a DTMF signal. Then, by transmitting the DTMF signal to the outside line telephone or the like via the external line transmission / reception unit 1, the contents stored and registered in the message storage area MM are notified. That is, the external line telephone or the like is notified of the contents stored and registered in the message storage area MM with respect to the external telephone or the like that received the call. When the message message data associated with the caller telephone number data is not stored, a notification that the message message does not exist is given by the DTMF signal. In this way, it is possible for a user who is making a phone call by using an outside telephone or the like at a place where he / she is away, etc., to confirm the contents stored / registered in the message storage area MM.

  Next, in step ST16, the main control unit 3 checks whether or not the telephone by the outside line telephone or the like has been disconnected. If the telephone is disconnected (in the case of Yes), the processing is continued from step ST11 onward, as described above. Based on the caller telephone number data and the message data stored in the message storage area MM, the caller telephone number and the message are displayed on the display unit 5 of the telephone A, and the call time is also displayed. Display.

  On the other hand, when the control signal is transmitted from the user's external telephone or the like in step ST17 without the telephone call by the external telephone or the like being disconnected in step ST16, the main control unit 3 receives and detects the control signal. Here, the control signal is sent by a DTMF signal generated when the user operates an operation button provided on an external telephone or the like. The main control section 3 supplies the DTMF signal to the signal conversion section 6a to decode the control code data, and the decoded control code is analyzed to detect that the control signal has been received. The main control unit 3 can know the designated control content by referring to the control code data determined in advance by the system program, and stores the telephone number book as the control code type. In addition to edit codes for deleting, changing, modifying, adding, etc., data stored in the area MD and the message storage area MM, character codes, symbol codes, and the like are determined.

  Next, in step ST18, the main control unit 3 analyzes the control code, and when an instruction for shifting to normal processing is given (in the case of Yes), the flow proceeds to step ST21, and in other cases (No In the case of), the process proceeds to step ST19.

  Then, when the process proceeds to step ST21, when the FAX receiving mode or the answering voice recording mode is selected after prompting the other party who has made a call, the FAX unit 6c receives the FAX reception mode. When printing is performed and the answering sound recording mode is selected, the recording unit 6d records the speech signal from the other party. When the FAX reception and printing are completed, and the answering machine recording is completed, the process proceeds to step ST14, where the external line control unit 2 is instructed to set the external line transmission / reception unit 1 to the line cut-off state, and the external telephone or the like. The processing for the incoming call is terminated.

  Next, in the above-described step ST19, the main control unit 3 further analyzes the control code, and if it is an edit control code, the process proceeds to step ST20 and stores it in the requirement storage area MM according to the control code. Edit the stored data.

  For example, when the user corrects the message message data stored in the message storage area MM and associated with the caller telephone number data of the user's external telephone or the like, the main control unit 3 displays the message message. Correct the data and register again. Further, when the caller telephone number data of the user's external telephone or the like is stored in the message storage area MM, but the message message data is not stored / registered, the user calls the caller telephone number data. When the message message data is added in association with, the main control unit 3 newly registers the message message data.

  Thus, when the main control unit 3 performs the editing process instructed by the user and the telephone is disconnected in step ST16, the caller telephone stored in the message storage area MM is processed according to the processes in steps ST11 to ST14. Based on the number data and the message data, the caller telephone number and the message are displayed on the display unit 5 of the telephone A, and the calling time is also displayed.

  In addition, when editing is performed in step ST20, a business message after the editing is displayed according to the processing in steps ST11 to ST14. Therefore, the user can make a call to the telephone A using an external electronic device such as a mobile phone that has already been registered, for example, by adding a message to the notification or newly using it. The notification message can be notified, or the unnecessary message can be deleted and not notified. Therefore, it is possible to provide excellent convenience for the user.

  As described above, according to the telephone A of the first embodiment, the caller telephone number such as an external telephone used by the user on the go or the like is associated with the business message and registered in the telephone A in advance. When the user makes a call to the telephone A from an outside location using the registered external telephone or the like, the caller telephone number of the external telephone or the like becomes a trigger, and the caller telephone number The message and the call time are displayed on the display unit 5 of the telephone set A. Therefore, the user can notify the message just by calling the telephone A using the registered external telephone, etc., and also notifies the time when the telephone is called by the external telephone as the calling time. In addition, the caller telephone number can notify who made the call. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to make a call by inputting a message to an external telephone or the like, or to record the message by uttering, it is not necessary to perform a complicated operation on the go. For this reason, it is possible to provide the user with excellent operability.

  Further, since the user can make a call to the telephone A using the registered external electronic device or the like and edit the message in the message storage area MM, the telephone A according to the first embodiment can be used. Thus, it is possible to provide excellent convenience for the user.

  In addition, if a mobile phone owned by the user or a fixed telephone that is safely managed is an outside line telephone or the like, and the caller telephone number and the business message are associated with each other and registered in the telephone A, a secret leak is caused. It is possible to prevent it in advance, and to reliably notify the business message to the telephone set A. For this reason, the telephone set A of the first embodiment can avoid the problem of secret leakage. Note that when the user stores / registers or edits the caller telephone number and message in the message storage area MM, the user inputs a desired password, and the main control unit 3 detects the password. However, storage / registration or editing may be permitted.

  Further, the telephone set A according to the first embodiment can be registered in advance by associating caller telephone numbers such as a plurality of external telephones with business messages. For example, the caller telephone number X1 of the mobile phone owned by the user is registered in advance in association with the message Y1, and the caller telephone number X2 of the fixed telephone managed securely and the message Y2 (a message different from the business message Y1) can be associated and registered in advance. If the user performs such a plurality of registrations, two types of message messages Y1 and Y2 can be selected and notified by appropriately using a mobile phone and a fixed phone. Further, the above-described message message Y2 and message message Y1 can be registered with the same content. In this case, the user can notify a message with the same content using a mobile phone or a fixed phone. As described above, since the usage forms can be expanded for the user, the telephone set A can provide excellent convenience.

  In the first embodiment described above, the display unit 5 is formed of a display that can display a large number of characters, symbols, and the like such as a liquid crystal display. A simple light emitting element such as the above may be provided to notify the business message. For example, the system program of the main control unit 3 is created by associating the case where the business message is notified with light emission and the case where the business message is not notified with being turned off. Then, after a user registers a caller telephone number and a business message such as a desired external telephone, when the user calls the telephone A by an external telephone or the like from an outside location, the main control unit 3 makes the external telephone or the like When the caller telephone number of the caller matches the caller telephone number data stored / registered in the storage unit 6b, a light emitting element such as a light emitting diode is turned on.

  According to such a configuration, it is only possible to turn on the light emitting element, so it is not possible to notify the specific content of the message, but if the message is determined in advance as a family commitment, It is possible to notify a business message simply by turning on the light emitting element. Further, according to this configuration, the technique of the first embodiment can be applied even to a telephone that does not include a display device such as a liquid crystal display.

  When the display unit 6 is formed of a liquid crystal display or the like, the caller telephone number, the business message, and the call time may be divided into a predetermined number of lines and scroll-displayed. By performing scroll display in this way, it is possible to perform effective display on the screen of the display unit 5 or to configure the display unit 5 with a small screen.

  Further, the main control unit 3 causes the storage unit 6b to store the incoming call history data (at least data indicating the caller telephone number of the external line telephone or the like) indicating that a call has been received from the external line telephone or the like. When an operation is performed to search the incoming call history, the message message data corresponding to the incoming call history data may be searched from the message storage area MM and displayed on the display unit 5. According to such a configuration, not only a message message is displayed when a call is received from an external telephone or the like, but a user on the telephone A side can later confirm or reconfirm the message message or the like. Therefore, excellent convenience can be provided.

  Moreover, you may add the following structure as another modification. That is, when the user performs so-called reservation registration in step ST2 of FIG. 2A, the time zone for making a call by an external telephone or the like is also input and stored in the message storage area MM of the storage unit 6b. . Then, when the user makes a call at the registered time zone using an external telephone or the like, the main control unit 3 of the telephone A receives the calling telephone number data that matches the calling telephone number of the external telephone or the like. It is checked whether it is stored in the storage area MM and whether a call is made during the registered time zone, and when the above two conditions of the calling telephone number and the time zone are satisfied, Based on the message message data stored and registered in the message storage area MM, the message is displayed on the display unit 5. If such a configuration is added, the user notifies the business message using only a specific time zone, and thus it is possible to ensure the safety of the information to be notified, for example.

  As described in the first embodiment, the user operates a predetermined push button switch (deletion button switch, backspace button switch, confirmation button switch) to caller telephone number and message. The device number can be edited and the data stored in the message storage area MM can be deleted.

  After performing the answering machine registration as described above, when the user makes a call to the telephone set of the second embodiment by using the registered external telephone set or the like in the place of going out, the master unit 10 is shown in FIG. The process from step ST23 shown in FIG.

  In steps ST23 to ST30, the main control unit 3 performs the same processing as steps ST3 to ST10 described in the first embodiment (see FIG. 2B).

  If the caller telephone number data matching the caller telephone number of an external telephone or the like is not stored in the telephone number book storage area MD or the message storage area MM, the process proceeds from step ST25 to ST41. If the caller telephone number data matching the caller telephone number of an external telephone or the like is stored in the telephone number book storage area MD or the message storage area MM, the process proceeds from step ST25 to ST26. To do.

  Then, after the process shifts from step ST25 to ST26, the process of steps ST26 to ST30 is performed at the time of a call, and the process further shifts to step ST34 to perform a line blocking process. Also, after the process shifts from step ST25 to ST26, if the telephone is disconnected by an external telephone or the like within the call origination period of base unit 10, the process proceeds from step ST24 to step ST31a. When elapses, the process proceeds from step ST26 to step ST35.

  Next, when the process shifts from step ST25 to ST41 described above, the processes of steps ST41 to ST45 are performed under the control of the main control unit 3 according to the operation state of the base unit 10 and the external line telephone. That is, in steps ST41 to ST45, processing similar to that in steps ST26 to ST30 described above is performed.

  Then, when a call is made between the master unit 10 and an external telephone or the like, the processes of steps ST41 to ST45 are performed, and the process proceeds to step ST34 to perform a line blocking process. Also, if the telephone is disconnected by an external telephone or the like within the call origination period of base unit 10, the process proceeds from step ST42 to step ST34, and the line is cut off without making a call. Further, when the calling period of base unit 10 elapses, the process proceeds from step ST41 to step ST46.

  In step ST46, the main control unit 3 stops the ringing sound of the base unit 10, and further notifies the slave unit 18 that there is a call from an external telephone or the like, thereby starting the call in the slave unit 18 Monkey.

  Next, in step ST47, the main control unit 3 checks whether or not it is still within the calling period of the handset 18. If it is within the calling period, step ST48, and if the calling period has elapsed, step ST52. Migrate to

  Next, in step ST48, the main control unit 3 checks whether or not the telephone is disconnected by an external telephone or the like. When the telephone is disconnected by an external telephone or the like, the call in the handset 18 is stopped, and the process proceeds to step ST34, where the line is disconnected without making a call.

  If the telephone is not disconnected by the above-described external telephone or the like, in step ST49, the main control unit 3 checks whether or not the handset 18 is on-hooked. If the handset 18 is not on-hook and the telephone is not disconnected by an external telephone or the like within the calling period of the handset 18, the processes of steps ST47 to ST49 are repeated.

  Next, when the handset 18 is on-hooked in step ST49, the process proceeds to step ST50, where the main control unit 3 makes a call between the handset 18 hooked on-hook and an external telephone or the like via the base unit 10. In the next step ST51, the mobile phone 18 is set in a call-ready state until the handset 18 is off-hook or until the telephone by the external telephone is disconnected. When the handset 18 is off-hook or the telephone by the external telephone is disconnected, the process proceeds to step ST34 and the process for the telephone received from the external telephone or the like is terminated.

  Returning to step ST47, the description will be continued. When the calling period of the handset 18 has elapsed in step ST47 (in the case of No), a normal answering process is performed in step ST52. In other words, when the FAX receiving mode is selected after prompting the other party who made the call to select the FAX receiving mode or the answering voice recording mode, the FAX unit 6c performs FAX reception and printing, and the answering machine is set. When the recording mode is selected, the recording unit 6d records a speech signal from the other party. When the FAX reception and printing are completed, and the answering machine recording is completed, the process proceeds to step ST34, where the external line control unit 2 is instructed to set the external line transmission / reception unit 1 to the line cut-off state, and the external telephone or the like. The processing for the incoming call is terminated.

  Returning to step ST27, the description will be continued. As described above, in step ST27, when the telephone by the outside line telephone or the like is disconnected within the calling period of the base unit 10, the process proceeds to step ST31a, and the main control unit 3 stops the ringing tone in the base unit 10. Thereafter, the caller telephone number data and the like registered in the message storage area MM and related to the matched caller telephone number are analyzed.

  Next, in step ST31b, as a result of the main controller 3 performing the above-described analysis, it is checked whether the target device is only the slave unit 18 or not. When the registered device number data is only the slave device 18, the process proceeds to step ST31bc, and when the registered device number data is at least the master device 10 (that is, when only the master device 10 is present, or the master device). 10 and handset 18), the process proceeds to step ST32.

  Next, in step ST31c, the main control unit 3 analyzes the registration contents (that is, caller telephone number, device number, and message data) analyzed in step ST31a and data indicating the call time (calling). (Time data) is notified (transmitted) to the handset 18 through the internal line transmitting / receiving unit 7. However, if the caller telephone number and the device number data are registered, but the business message is not registered, the caller telephone number data, the device number data, and the call time data are stored in the handset 18. Sent to the side. The operation of the slave unit 18 that has received this notification will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step ST32, the main control section 3 checks whether or not the message message data associated with the caller telephone number data matching the caller telephone number is stored in the message storage area MM. If the message data is not stored (in the case of No), in step ST34, the external line transmission / reception unit 1 is set to the line cut-off state, and the process for the incoming call from the external telephone or the like is performed. finish.

  On the other hand, if the message message data associated with the caller telephone number data that matches the caller telephone number is stored in Step ST32 described above (if Yes), the process proceeds to Step ST33. The main control unit 3 reads the caller telephone number data and the message message data associated therewith from the message storage area MM and supplies them to the display unit 5, and further displays the call time data on the display unit 5. , The caller telephone number, the business message, and the call time are continuously displayed. That is, when the process proceeds to step ST <b> 33, not only the parent device 10 but also the message for the child device 18 is displayed on the display unit 5 of the parent device 10. For example, a mother who is a user sets a device for displaying a message in the parent device 10 or the child device 18, and the caller telephone number “090123456” of the mobile phone and a message “Today's return is late. If the mother makes a phone call from the mobile phone to the base unit 10 while away from home, the caller telephone number “090123456” is stored. Then, the message message “Today's return will be late. From my mother” is displayed on the display unit 5 of the base unit 10.

  In step ST34, the main control unit 3 instructs the external line control unit 2 to set the external line transmission / reception unit 1 to the line cut-off state, and ends the process for the incoming call from the external telephone or the like. The message displayed on the display unit 5 is continuously displayed without being erased until a display stop operation is performed by a predetermined push button switch provided on the operation unit 4 of the telephone A. Is done.

  As described above, when the process moves from step ST27 to ST31a and the process of steps ST31a to ST34 is performed, the user calls the base unit 10 using an external telephone or the like, and within the calling period. By simply hanging up, you can notify the registered business message without incurring a telephone charge.

  Next, the description will return to step ST26 again. As described above, when the calling period elapses without being disconnected, the process proceeds from step ST26 to step ST35. In steps ST35 to ST40, the main control unit 3 performs basically the same processing as steps ST15 to ST20 shown in FIG.

  That is, in step ST35, the ringing of the ringing tone in the base unit 10 is terminated, and the caller telephone number that matches the caller telephone number of an external telephone or the like stored in the message storage area MM of the storage unit 6b. By converting (modulating) the number data and the associated message message data and device number data into a DTMF signal and transmitting it to the outside telephone or the like, the contents stored / registered in the message storage area MM Notice.

  In step ST36, it is checked whether or not the telephone by the outside line telephone or the like has been disconnected. If the telephone is disconnected (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to the process after step ST31a and the display unit 5 of the parent device 10 as described above. A business message or the like is displayed on the screen, or a business message or the like is transmitted to the handset 18 side.

  On the other hand, when the control signal is transmitted by the DTMF signal from the user's external telephone or the like without being disconnected in step ST36, the main control unit 3 detects the control code of the control signal in steps ST37, ST38, and ST39. If an instruction to perform normal processing is given in step ST39, the processing after step ST46 is performed. If the control code is for editing, the editing processing is performed in accordance with the control code in step ST40. Do. For example, according to the content of the control code, the message message data and device number data associated with the caller telephone number data such as the user's external telephone stored in the message storage area MM are corrected, Processing such as adding or deleting message data or device number data is performed.

  Then, after the editing process, when the telephone by the external telephone or the like is disconnected in step ST36, the processes after step ST31a are performed. Therefore, based on the data re-registered in the message storage area MM by the editing process, a message message or the like is displayed on the display unit 5 of the parent device 10 or a message message or the like is transmitted to the child device 18 side. It will be.

  As described above, the processing of steps ST35 to ST40 is performed, so that, for example, the user makes a call to the base unit 10 using an external telephone or the like, adds a business message, notifies it, or newly uses it. Notification messages can be notified, unnecessary message messages can be deleted so as not to be notified, and the device numbers of the parent device 10 and the child device 18 to be notified can be changed. Therefore, it is possible to provide excellent convenience for the user.

  Next, operation | movement of the subunit | mobile_unit 18 is demonstrated with reference to Fig.5 (a) (b). FIG. 5A is a flowchart showing the operation when a switching instruction is given from the parent device 10 to the child device 18 in step ST46 of FIG. 4B, and FIG. It is a flowchart which shows operation | movement at the time of notification to the subunit | mobile_unit 18 from the main | base station 10 in step ST31c of b).

  First, when the calling period of the base unit 10 has elapsed (see step ST25 in FIG. 4B) and the base unit 10 instructs the handset 18 to switch (step ST46 in FIG. 4B). The main control unit 13 of the slave unit 18 receives the instruction at step ST60 in FIG. 5A, and further checks at step ST61 whether its own device number matches the device number data. If they match, the process proceeds to step ST62. If they do not match, the process ends without responding to the switching instruction.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 3C, when there are a plurality of slave units 18a to 18j, all of the slave units 18a to 18j receive instructions from the master unit 10 in step ST60. Further, in step ST61, it is checked whether or not its own device number matches the device number data, and only the matching slave unit shifts to the processing after step ST62, and the slave unit that does not match ends the process.

  In step ST62, the above-described matched handset 18 starts ringing, and then in step ST63, the main control unit 13 checks whether it is still within the calling period of the handset, and the calling period. In step ST68, ringing of the ringing tone is stopped and the process is terminated. In step ST63, if the handset is still within the calling period, the main control unit 13 checks whether the telephone call from the external telephone or the like has been disconnected. Stops ringing and ends the process.

  Next, in step ST65, the main control unit 13 checks whether or not the handset 18 is on-hooked. When the handset 18 is not on-hooked, the processing from step ST63 is repeated. When the handset 18 is on-hooked, the process proceeds to step ST66, where the main control unit 13 establishes a line connection for making a call between the handset 18 and an external telephone or the like via the base unit 10. In step ST67, the main control unit 13 ends the process when the telephone is disconnected from the outside line telephone or the like or when the handset 18 is on-hooked.

Next, the operation shown in FIG. 5B will be described.
In step ST31c of FIG. 4B described above, when the master unit 10 notifies all or one or more slave units 18, all the slave units 18 are in step ST70 of FIG. 5B. In step ST71, the main control unit 13 checks whether or not its own device number and device number data match, and only the matching slave unit moves to the process in step ST72. The slave unit that does not finish the processing.

  In step ST72, the above-described matched handset 18 displays the calling party on the display unit 15 based on the notified calling party telephone number data, device number data, message data and calling time data. The telephone number, device number, business message, and call time are displayed. The display is continued until a predetermined display operation button is operated.

  Accordingly, when the user stores / registers the desired slave unit 18 in the message storage area MM of the master unit 10 by an external telephone or the like, and makes a call to the master unit 10, it is stored / registered in the message storage area MM. The caller telephone number data, the device number data, the message data and the call time data are notified to the handset 18 side, and the caller telephone number and the caller phone number are displayed on the display unit 15 of the handset 18 with the matching device number. The device number, business message, and call time are displayed.

  As described above, according to the telephone of the second embodiment, the caller telephone number such as an external telephone used by the user on the go or the like, the business message, and the device of the parent device 10 or the child device 18 When the user makes a call to the main unit 10 from an outside location or the like by using the registered external line telephone or the like in association with the number, the caller of the external line telephone or the like The telephone number is a trigger, and the caller's telephone number, device number, message and call time are displayed on the display unit 5 or 15 of the parent device 10 or the child device 18 of the registered device number. Is done. Therefore, the user can notify the message to the master unit 10 or the slave unit 18 only by making a call to the master unit 10 using the registered external phone etc. The calling time can be notified as the calling time, and further, the calling party telephone number can be notified of who made the call. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to make a call by inputting a message to an external telephone or the like, or to record the message by uttering, it is not necessary to perform a complicated operation on the go. For this reason, it is possible to provide the user with excellent operability.

  In addition, a mobile phone owned by the user or a fixed telephone that is safely managed is an external telephone, etc., and the caller's telephone number, message, and device number are associated with each other and registered in the base unit 10. If this is done, it is possible to prevent secret leaks and reliably notify the business message. For this reason, the telephone according to Embodiment 2 can avoid the problem of secret leakage.

  Similarly to the first embodiment, the telephone according to the second embodiment can be registered in advance by associating a caller telephone number such as a plurality of external telephones, a business message, and a device number. For this reason, it becomes possible for a user to expand a use form and can provide the outstanding convenience.

  Further, in the telephone according to the second embodiment, the message message can be edited by an external telephone or the like, so that a new message message is notified to the parent device 10 or the child device 18, or the message message is changed. This makes it possible for the user to widen the form of usage and provide excellent convenience.

  In the second embodiment described above, the display units 5 and 15 of the master unit 10 and the slave unit 18 are formed of a display capable of displaying a large number of characters, symbols, and the like such as a liquid crystal display. However, as in the first embodiment, a simple light emitting element such as a light emitting diode that only turns on and off may be provided to notify the business message.

  In the telephone set according to the second embodiment described above, the user inputs a caller telephone number such as an external telephone and a business message when registering an answering machine. As in the first embodiment, The message message data and the device number data may be stored in the message storage area MM, and the telephone directory data stored in the telephone number book storage area MD may be used as the caller telephone number. According to this configuration, when registering an answering machine, the user can simplify the input operation and improve the operability.

  Further, in the telephone according to the second embodiment described above, the message message data and the like are stored and registered in the message storage area MM of the storage unit 6b provided in the parent device 10 for management. The storage unit 16 provided in the slave unit 18 is also provided with a message storage area. By mutual communication between the master unit 10 and the slave unit 18, the storage unit 6b stores the message storage area MM and the storage unit 16b. The same message message or the like may always be stored in the message storage area of the unit 16. That is, a message message or the like may be shared and stored between the parent device 10 and the child device 18.

  According to such a configuration, the user can make a reservation registration of a message or the like using the handset 18, and the convenience can be improved. Further, when a user edits a message or the like using an external telephone or the like, the edited message or the like is shared not only in the parent device 10 but also in the child device 18, and the device numbers match. When the handset 18 displays a message message or the like on its own display unit 15, the message message or the like can be displayed based on the message message data or the like stored in its own storage unit 16. For this reason, the communication control between the main | base station 10 and the subunit | mobile_unit 18 can be simplified.
