  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments (embodiments) for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  As an embodiment of the telephone device of the present invention, a guide phone installed in an ATM corner of a bank, a hospital room or the like, for example, and used in an emergency or emergency will be described below as an example. Can be applied to a telephone other than a guide phone as long as it has a hook switch. FIG. 1 shows an appearance of the telephone device according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the telephone device of this embodiment has a main body 20 and a handset 21. The handset 21 has a reception function (receiver) and a transmission function (microphone), and is connected to the main body 20 by wire (or may be wireless). The handset 21 is stored in the storage portion of the main body 20 when not in use, and is lifted from the main body 20 when in use.

  On the surface of the main body 20, a power button 22, a first lamp 23, a second lamp 24, a hook switch 25, and a speaker 26 are provided. The power button 22 is a button that is pressed when the power of the telephone device is switched on and off. The first lamp 23 is for notifying the user of the power on / off state, and is turned on when the power of the telephone device is on and turned off when the power is off. The second lamp 24 is for notifying the user of whether or not it is possible to shift to a mode for changing the setting in the telephone device (hereinafter referred to as setting mode). Turns off when unable to enter mode. Examples of the first lamp 23 and the second lamp 24 include an LED (Light Emitting Diode). The hook switch 25 is provided in the storage portion of the handset 21. The hook switch 25 is turned on when the handset 21 is stored, and is turned off when the handset 21 is not stored. The hook switch 25 can be pressed by the user's finger or the like when the handset 21 is lifted and in the off state. That is, the hook switch 25 is turned on when the user presses it with a finger, and turned off when the user releases the finger. The speaker 26 is a sound emitting unit that outputs a guide voice and the voice of the other party to the user.

  Next, the internal configuration of the telephone device of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the telephone device of this embodiment includes a hook operation detection circuit 1, a DC sink circuit 2, a handset circuit 3, an incoming call detection circuit 4, a control means 5, a timer circuit 6, a hook operation count circuit 7, a power supply The circuit 9 includes a storage unit 10, a message transmission circuit 11, a speaker circuit 12, and a lamp display circuit 13.

  The hook operation detection circuit 1 is a circuit that detects a hook operation (operation on the hook switch 25) performed by a user. The hook operation generally refers to an operation of turning on or off the hook switch 25. In the present embodiment, when the hook switch 25 is in the off state, the hook switch 25 is continuously on and off. This operation is called hook operation. That is, when the hook switch 25 is in the off state, the hook switch 25 is pressed to be in the on state, and when the hook switch 25 is immediately released and is again turned off, it is counted that the hook operation has been performed once. The hook operation detection circuit 1 recognizes one hook operation based on a change in voltage caused by the hook operation. When the hook operation detection circuit 1 recognizes that the hook operation has been performed once, the hook operation detection circuit 1 sends a signal indicating that to the hook operation count circuit 7.

  The DC sink circuit 2 is a circuit connected to a general subscriber line (public telephone network). The DC sink circuit 2 receives a command from the control means 5 and makes a call to a predetermined destination. In addition, when receiving an incoming call from a predetermined transmission source, the DC sink circuit 2 receives a command from the control means 5 and enables a call via the handset 3. In the present embodiment, a general subscriber line that is an external line will be described as an example, but the features of the present embodiment described below can be similarly applied to an internal line.

  The handset circuit 3 is a circuit that is connected to the receiver and microphone of the handset 21 via the DC sink circuit 2 and enables reception and transmission in the handset 21.

  The incoming call detection circuit 4 is, for example, a circuit that detects an incoming call from a predetermined transmission source of a general subscriber line. The incoming call detection circuit 4 recognizes whether there is an incoming call based on the voltage change caused by the incoming call. When the incoming call detection circuit 4 recognizes whether there is an incoming call, it sends a signal indicating that to the control means 5.

  The timer circuit 6 is a circuit that measures a predetermined time. The timer circuit 6 receives a command from the control means 5 and starts time measurement (timer start) or ends time measurement and clears the measured time (timer clear). In addition, the timer circuit 6 sends a signal indicating that the time measurement has started and ended to the hook operation count circuit 7.

  The hook operation count circuit 7 counts how many times the hook operation has been performed within a predetermined time based on the signal sent from the hook operation detection circuit 1 and the signal sent from the timer circuit 6. Circuit. The hook operation count circuit 7 sends a signal indicating the counted number of hook operations to the control means 5.

  The power supply circuit 9 is connected to the power button 22 and is a circuit that controls the power supply of the telephone device by recognizing the on / off operation of the power button 22. When the power is turned on by operating the power button 22, the power circuit 9 supplies the control means 5 with a current necessary for the operation of the telephone device. The power supply circuit 9 stops the current being supplied to the control means 5 when the power is turned off by operating the power button 22.

  The storage means 10 is a memory (for example, a nonvolatile memory) that stores various data. Reading and writing of data with respect to the storage means 10 is performed by the control means 5. Examples of data stored in the storage unit 10 include system data. The system data is data indicating the contents of various settings in the telephone device, and includes, for example, a destination telephone number, the number of calls to the destination, and an operation mode. In the telephone device according to the present embodiment, various settings in the telephone device are changed by changing the system data.

  The message transmission circuit 11 receives a command from the control means 5 and transmits data indicating a predetermined message (voice guide) or ringing sound to the speaker circuit 12. Note that data indicating a predetermined message or ringing sound is stored in advance in the message sending circuit 11 or the storage means 10.

  The speaker circuit 12 sends the data from the message sending circuit 11 to the speaker 26 as sound. Thereby, a message and a ringing sound are output from the speaker 26.

  The lamp display circuit 13 is a circuit that turns on and off the first lamp 23 and the second lamp 24 in response to a command from the control means 5.

  As described above, the control means 5 sends control signals (commands) to various circuits and means to control the operation of the entire telephone device. The control means 5 can also temporarily store (cache) data. Examples of the control means 5 include a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a RAM (Random Access Memory).

  Next, an operation example of the telephone device of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described.

  First, the operation in the normal mode will be described. The normal mode is an example of an operation mode provided in the telephone device of the present embodiment, and can wait for an incoming call and make a call to a predetermined destination (transmission) while the power of the telephone device is turned on. It is a mode to do.

  When a user who wants to make a call lifts the handset 21 accommodated in the main body 20 while the telephone device is in a standby state, the hook operation detection circuit 1 detects that the hook switch 25 is turned off. To the control means 5. Notification means “signal transmission” (the same applies hereinafter).

  Upon receiving the notification, the control means 5 reads a predetermined destination telephone number from the storage means 10 and dials the destination using the dial sending circuit of the DC sink circuit 2. As described above, the telephone device according to the present embodiment can make a call without performing a dial operation only by the user lifting the handset 21 from the main body 20.

  Thereafter, when the destination party answers, the user can talk with the other party through the handset circuit 3 and the handset 21 connected to the DC sink circuit 2.

  Further, when there is an incoming call from a predetermined transmission source when the telephone device is in a standby state, the incoming call detection circuit 4 detects the incoming call and notifies the control means 5 of the incoming call.

  Upon receiving the notification, the control means 5 uses the message sending circuit 11 and the speaker circuit 12 to output the ringing sound “jiriri-rin” from the speaker 26. When the hook operation detection circuit 1 detects that the handset 21 has been lifted while the ringing sound is being generated, the control means 5 turns on the DC sink circuit 2. As a result, the user can talk with the caller partner via the handset circuit 3 and the handset 21.

  As described above, the outgoing and incoming calls in the normal mode are modes that are adopted by general guide phones and the like. In the present embodiment, a call is triggered by the user lifting the handset 21 from the main body 20. However, after the user lifts the handset 21 from the main body 20, the call is provided on the main body 20 or the handset 21. A configuration may be adopted in which a call is triggered by pressing a call button (not shown). That is, the telephone device according to the present embodiment may be any device that can make a call to a destination designated in advance without performing a dial operation.

  Next, the operation in the preparation stage for shifting to the setting mode will be described with reference to FIG. The setting mode is an example of an operation mode provided in the telephone device according to the present embodiment, and is a mode that enables various settings of the telephone device to be changed while the power of the telephone device is turned on. The setting mode is basically performed by an administrator of the telephone device. Therefore, the operation of FIG. 3 described below is also performed by the administrator of the telephone device.

  First, the administrator performs an operation for making the telephone device in the normal mode when the power is turned on to be in a state where the mode can be shifted to the setting mode (setting mode can be shifted). There are two examples of this operation. One is an operation (operation example 1) in which the administrator presses the power button 22 again to immediately turn on the power immediately after pressing the power button 22 to turn off the power. The other is an operation (operation example 2) in which the administrator makes a call to the telephone device using a mobile phone or the like and immediately hangs up. Operation example 2 is valid only when the telephone device number is known in advance. The telephone device accepts any of the above operations performed by the administrator (S1). That is, when any of the above operations is performed, a signal corresponding to the performed operation is sent to the control means 5 from the power supply circuit 9 (in the case of operation example 1) or the incoming call detection circuit 4 (in the case of operation example 2). Is done. Based on the received signal, the control means 5 recognizes that an operation for enabling the setting mode transition is performed, and sets the telephone device to the setting mode transition enable state. In this state, although in the normal mode, the control unit 5 may control to temporarily not accept incoming calls and outgoing calls.

  After S1, the control means 5 instructs the timer circuit 6 to start measuring time, and instructs the lamp display circuit 13 to turn on the second lamp 23. Accordingly, the timer circuit 6 starts measuring a predetermined time (for example, 7 seconds), and the lamp display circuit 13 lights the second lamp 23 (S2). By turning on the second lamp 23, the administrator can recognize that the setting mode can be shifted. The second lamp 23 is lit for 7 seconds, and the setting mode can be shifted during this period.

  In order to shift to the setting mode, an operation of turning off the hook switch 25 is required for 7 seconds (S3 / NO to S5 / NO). When the administrator lifts the handset 21 stored in the main body 20 within 7 seconds, the hook operation detection circuit 1 detects the off state of the hook switch 25 and notifies the control means 5 of this (S3 / YES). . Upon receiving the notification, the control means 5 shifts from the normal mode to the setting mode (S4). An example of the operation after shifting to the setting mode will be described later with reference to FIG.

  On the other hand, if the administrator does not lift the handset 21 (the hook operation detection circuit 1 does not detect the off state of the hook switch 25) and 7 seconds have elapsed (S5 / YES), the timer circuit 6 ends the time measurement. Then, this is notified to the control means 5. Upon receiving the notification, the control means 5 instructs the timer circuit 6 to clear (reset to 0) the measured time, and also instructs the lamp display circuit 13 to turn off the second lamp 23. Command. Thereby, the timer circuit 6 is in a state where the measured time is cleared and a new measurement can be started, and the lamp display circuit 13 turns off the second lamp 23 (S6). By turning off the second lamp 23, the administrator can recognize that the setting mode transition is no longer possible.

  Thereafter, the control means 5 cancels the setting mode transition enable state and maintains the normal mode (S7). In addition, when it is restricted so that incoming calls and outgoing calls are temporarily not accepted when it becomes possible to enter the setting mode, the incoming call and outgoing calls can be made again by releasing the setting mode changeable state.

  Next, the operation after the transition to the setting mode (one embodiment of the telephone device setting changing method of the present invention) will be described with reference to FIG. Here, as an example of the setting contents of the system data changed in the setting mode, a predetermined destination telephone number (10 digits) is used.

  When shifting to the setting mode (S4), the control means 5 ends the measurement for the timer circuit 6 which is measuring 7 seconds, clears the time measured so far (resets to 0), and newly Command to start measuring a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds). Thereby, the timer circuit 6 starts measurement for 3 seconds this time (S11). At the same time, the control means 5 instructs the message sending circuit 11 to output a start sound “beep”. Thereby, the message transmission circuit 11 outputs the start sound from the speaker 26 via the speaker circuit 12 (S11).

  The start sound is for signaling the start of 3 seconds to the administrator. The administrator performs the hook operation by the same number as the numerical value to be input within 3 seconds after the start sound is generated. For example, when the numerical value to be input is “1”, the administrator performs a hook operation once within 3 seconds. When the numerical value to be input is “0”, the administrator does not perform the hook operation or performs the hook operation 10 times within 3 seconds. When the hook operation is performed, the handset 21 is removed from the main body 20. Therefore, the manager performs the hook operation by pressing the hook switch 25 with a finger.

  When the manager performs one hook operation on the hook switch 25 after the start sound is output, the hook operation detection circuit 1 detects this and sends a signal indicating one hook operation to the hook operation count circuit 7. (S12 / YES).

  When the hook operation count circuit 7 receives the signal from the hook operation detection circuit 1, it counts as +1 (S13).

  In this way, each time the hook operation is performed within 3 seconds, the hook operation count circuit 7 accumulates the count value (the number of times the hook operation is executed) (S14 / NO to S12 / YES to S13). This count value is finally accepted as a setting operation (value for changing a predetermined setting) by the control means 5.

  Thereafter, when the measurement for 3 seconds is completed, the timer circuit 6 notifies the hook operation count circuit 7 and the control means 5 to that effect (S14 / YES).

  Receiving the notification from the timer circuit 6, the control means 5 instructs the message sending circuit 11 to output an end sound “beep”. As a result, the message sending circuit 11 causes the speaker 26 to output the end sound via the speaker circuit 12 (S15). This end sound is for signaling the end of 3 seconds to the administrator. At the same time, the control means 5 instructs the timer circuit 6 to clear the measured time and to start measuring a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds). Thereby, the timer circuit 6 starts measurement for 5 seconds this time (S15). Thus, the end sound is not only a signal for the end of 3 seconds but also a signal for the start of 5 seconds. When the administrator wants to continue the setting change (numerical value input) after recognizing the end sound, the administrator performs one hook operation within 5 seconds. One hook operation at this time may be unrelated to numerical value input (not integrated as a count value), or may be related to numerical value input (integrated as a count value). On the other hand, the hook operation count circuit 7 that has received the notification from the timer circuit 6 sends a signal indicating the count value accumulated in 3 seconds to the control means 5. After this transmission, the count value is cleared (reset to 0). The control means 5 temporarily stores the count value based on the signal from the hook operation count circuit 7 (S15).

  When the manager who wants to continue the setting change performs one hook operation within 5 seconds, the hook operation detection circuit 1 detects this and notifies the control means 5 (S16 / YES). Upon receiving the notification, the control means 5 ends the measurement for the timer circuit 6 measuring 5 seconds, clears the time measured so far, and sets a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds). Command to start measuring. Thereby, the timer circuit 6 starts measurement for 3 seconds this time (S11). At the same time, the control means 5 instructs the message sending circuit 11 to output a start sound “beep”. Thereby, the message transmission circuit 11 outputs the start sound from the speaker 26 via the speaker circuit 12 (S11). In this way, the second setting change (numerical value input) by the administrator's hook operation is started.

  The administrator repeats the above operation for the number of digits of the telephone number to be changed. For example, when changing all digits of a 10-digit telephone number, the above operation is performed 10 times. Thereby, ten count values (numbers) are temporarily stored in the control means 5.

  When the administrator wants to end the setting change, he / she may wait for 5 seconds from the end sound (S17 / YES) without performing one hook operation for continuing the setting change (S16 / NO). In this case, the timer circuit 6 notifies the control means 5 when the measurement for 5 seconds is completed. Receiving the notification, the control means 5 accepts the temporarily stored count value as a value for changing a preset setting (S18). For example, when 10 count values are stored, the control means 5 replaces the destination telephone number (10 digits) predetermined as system data in the storage means 10 with 10 count values. This replacement is, for example, in the order of temporary storage (the count value temporarily stored first is the first digit of the telephone number). Thereby, the change of the destination telephone number is completed. Thereafter, the setting mode is shifted to the normal mode.

  In the above description, when the administrator wants to end the setting change, the administrator waits for 5 seconds without performing the hook operation. However, the method for ending the setting change is not limited to this. For example, the setting change may be terminated when the hook operation is performed a predetermined number of times in S12 as a trigger and the control unit 5 recognizes the count value. In this case, the administrator needs to know in advance the number of hook operations necessary to finish the setting change.

  In the description of FIG. 4, the administrator inputs each number of the telephone number that the administrator wants to change, and the entered numerical value (count value) is replaced with the predetermined addressed telephone number as it is. The numerical value input by the administrator may not be directly used for changing the system data as described above. An example in that case will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 shows an example in which the operation mode is selected using a numerical value (count value) input by the administrator. In the example of FIG. 5, it is assumed that the operation mode of the telephone device includes a confirmation mode in addition to the setting mode. The confirmation mode is a mode for notifying the administrator of the current setting contents by voice. In this example, the telephone number currently set in the confirmation mode (predetermined destination telephone number) is notified.

  It is assumed that a predetermined count value is received by the control means 5 by the operation of FIG. 4 (S18). This is the setting mode.

  Here, the control means 5 refers to the storage means 10 and determines whether or not the accepted count value is a predetermined specified value (S21). The specified value is stored in advance in the storage unit 10 and is a value for selecting an operation mode. Here, as an example, “11” is stored as a value (first specified value) for selecting the confirmation mode, and “12” is stored as a value (second specified value) for selecting the setting mode. Suppose that

  As a result of the determination in S21, when the received count value is neither the first specified value “11” nor the second specified value “12” (S21 / NO), the control unit 5 performs an operation corresponding to the received count value. A message indicating that there is no mode is read from the storage means 10, for example, and the message is transmitted via the message transmission circuit 11, the speaker circuit 12, and the speaker 26 (S22). Thereafter, the control means 5 shifts from the setting mode to the normal mode (S26).

  As a result of the determination in S21, when the received count value is the first specified value “11” (S21 / first specified value), the control means 5 shifts from the setting mode to the confirmation mode, and the telephone number currently being set Is read from the storage means 10, for example, and the message is transmitted via the message transmission circuit 11, the speaker circuit 12, and the speaker 26 (S23). This message is, for example, a voice saying that the currently set destination telephone number is 03-XXXXXX-XXX. As a result, the administrator can know the currently set destination. Thereafter, the control means 5 shifts from the setting mode to the normal mode (S26).

  As a result of the determination in S21, when the received count value is the second specified value “12” (S21 / second specified value), the control means 5 sends a message indicating that the currently set telephone number is to be changed. Is read from the storage means 10, for example, and the message is transmitted via the message transmission circuit 11, the speaker circuit 12, and the speaker 26 (S23). This message is, for example, a voice such as “Change the telephone number of the currently set address. Start entering the telephone number you want to change”. Thereby, the administrator can recognize the start of changing the currently set destination. And the control means 5 transfers to operation | movement of S11 of FIG. 4, maintaining the setting mode (S25). Thereafter, as described with reference to FIG. 4, the administrator performs numerical input by hook operation in order to change the telephone number to a desired one. After the input numerical value (count value) is accepted in S18 of FIG. 4, as described above, it becomes the destination telephone number instead of the currently set telephone number.

  In the description of FIG. 5 described above, the operation mode is associated with each specified value, and the control unit 5 compares the received count value with the association to select the operation mode. The mode selection method is not limited to this. For example, when the received plurality of count values have a predetermined regularity, the control unit 5 may select the operation mode by recognizing the regularity. In the case of FIG. 5, for example, when three count values are received, the control means 5 determines whether to change to the confirmation mode or maintain the setting mode depending on whether the first count value is “1” or “2”. Try to judge. Further, the control unit 5 recognizes the remaining two numbers of the received count value as indicating the address in the storage unit 10. In this way, for example, when three count values are received in the order of “1”, “9”, and “0”, the control unit 5 changes to the confirmation mode and stores it at the address 90 of the storage unit 10. A message indicating the set contents of the system data is output from the speaker 26. For example, when three count values are received in the order of “2”, “9”, and “0”, the control unit 5 maintains the setting mode and stores the system data stored at the address 90 of the storage unit 10. A message to start changing the setting contents is output from the speaker 26 (then, the process proceeds to S11 in FIG. 4).

  Next, another example of the telephone device according to this embodiment will be described. The basic configuration of the telephone device of this example is as described in the above embodiment. In this example, when count values for a predetermined number are received in the setting mode, dial numbers can be sent from the telephone device immediately using the count values. That is, when the control means 5 receives a predetermined number (for example, 10) of count values by the hook operation as described with reference to FIG. 4, the control means 5 recognizes these count values as 10-digit telephone numbers and directly dials. To do. In this case, if the numerical value (count value) input first is “0”, the control means 5 recognizes the numerical value input after that as a telephone number, for example, 10 (predetermined number). When the numerical value is received, dial transmission is performed using the dial sending circuit of the DC sink circuit 2. In this way, according to this example, the administrator does not have a mobile phone or the like and wants to temporarily call a destination different from the set destination for the operation check of the telephone device, etc. It becomes effective.

  In the above description, the configuration of the analog telephone is described as an example for the telephone device of this embodiment, but the present invention can also be applied to the configuration of other telephone devices. For example, when a mobile communication module is mounted in a telephone device, it can be realized by replacing the DC sink circuit 2 and the incoming call detection circuit 4 shown in FIG. 2 with the transmission function and the incoming call detection function in the mobile communication module, respectively.

  As described above, in the telephone device according to the present embodiment, a command (numerical value) for changing the setting is input using the hook switch for detecting the lifting of the handset that is always mounted on the telephone device. It is a feature. Therefore, according to the telephone device of the present embodiment, it is possible to avoid providing an extra device (key, interface, circuit, etc. described in FIG. 6) used only for changing the setting of the telephone device. That is, according to the telephone device of the present embodiment, it is possible to eliminate the increase in size and cost of the telephone device and change the setting in the telephone device. Conventionally, when changing the setting of the telephone device, the administrator has to bring a setting device (a personal computer or a telephone) to connect to the interface and go to the place where the telephone device is installed. In the telephone device according to the present embodiment, due to the above characteristics, it is not necessary to bring the setting device when changing the setting.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, it is not limited to the said embodiment, A various deformation | transformation is possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary.

  For example, the operation in the above-described embodiment can be executed by hardware, software, or a combined configuration of both.

  When executing processing by software, a program in which a processing sequence is recorded may be installed and executed in a memory in a computer incorporated in dedicated hardware. Or you may install and run a program in the general purpose computer which can perform various processes.

  For example, the program can be recorded in advance on a hard disk or a ROM (Read Only Memory) as a recording medium.
