Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a home telephone device having an automatic dial function and selectively connecting a plurality of extension telephones to a telephone line.

[Prior Art] FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a system configuration of a conventional home telephone device. In the figure, a home telephone device (1) has a plurality of extension lines (3), (4) on a general telephone line (2) as an outside line. ), (5) for switching and connecting the communication path switching unit (6), the transmission / reception unit (7) as the communication unit connected to the communication path switching unit (6), and the outside line (1) or the extension line. The dial section (8) for designating (3) to (5). (11) to (13) are extension telephones connected to the extensions (3) to (5).

Next, the operation will be described. From the home telephone (1) through the extensions (3) to (5), the extension telephones (11) to (1)
If you want to call 3), you usually dial the number corresponding to each extension telephone (11) to (13) in the dial section (8). For example, if you want to call the extension telephone (11), pick up the handset (7) and press the dial [1] on the dial (8).
Will be called and you will be able to talk if you answer.

Here, if the same message is to be transmitted to all the extension telephones (11) to (13), first, by pressing the dial [1], the extension telephone (11) is called by the above procedure. Send a message to the other party of the extension telephone.
Then, press dial [2] in the same manner as above, call the extension telephone (12) to give a message to the other party of the extension telephone, and then call the extension telephone (13) to send a message to the other party. The operation is like telling.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Since the conventional home telephone device is configured as described above, it is necessary to make a call to each extension telephone when transmitting the same message to all the extension telephones. Yes, it is very time-consuming and troublesome to operate. There was also a problem that the same message had to be spoken many times.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a home telephone capable of sending the same message to all the extension telephones only by speaking the message once and by a simple operation. The purpose is to obtain the device.

[Means for Solving the Problems] A home telephone device according to the present invention has a message recording / reproducing unit that records a message and reproduces the message when connected to an extension telephone set via a communication path switching unit. Has an automatic dial means for sequentially making a call to each of the extension telephones and connecting the extension telephones to the message recording / playback section. After making a call to each extension telephone, the call is reissued until the end of busy, and for the unanswered extension telephone, the call to each extension telephone is made once and then a predetermined number of times Is performed.

[Operation] In the home telephone device according to the present invention, the same message can be transmitted to all the extension telephones by a simple operation by once recording the message to be transmitted by the message recording / reproducing unit.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, a home telephone device (1) has a plurality of extension lines (3), (4), and a general telephone line (2) as an outside line.
A speech path switching unit (6) for switching and connecting (5)
And a transmission / reception unit (7) as a communication unit connected to the communication path switching unit (6), and an outside line (1) or an extension line (3).
A dial section (8) for designating (5) to (5) and a message recording / playback section (9).

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described. Since the operation of making a call from the home telephone device (1) to one extension telephone is the same as that of the conventional device, duplicate description will be omitted.

Next, the same message is sent to all extension telephones (11) to (1
The operation for sending to (3) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, record the message you want to send in the message recording / playback unit (9).

Then, the command to transfer to the extension telephones (11) to (13) is selected as the dial [9], and the dial [9] is pressed.
When the handset (7) is placed, the extension telephone (11) is automatically dialed in order, and first the extension telephone (11) is called (steps ST1, ST2).

Next, it is judged whether or not a response is made (step ST3),
When responding, the recorded message is reproduced and sent to the extension telephone (11) (step ST4), the telephone is unilaterally hung up (step ST5), and the next extension telephone (12) is called (step ST6).

Then, it is judged whether or not the called extension telephone is the last one (step ST7). If it is not the last, the procedure returns to step ST2, and the called extension telephone (12) is automatically dialed. When answered, the recorded message is reproduced and sent to the extension telephone (12) in the same manner as above. After that, all the extension phones (1
The same message is sent to 1) to (13).

If there is no response in the judgment in step ST3, it is judged whether or not the other party is busy (step ST8), and if it is busy, the extension phones that were busy again after calling all extension phones Call (step ST9).

If no answer is given in the judgment in step ST8, the extension telephones are redialed up to n times after calling all extension telephones (step ST10).

By adding such an operation sequence of steps ST8 to ST10, the message can be accurately transmitted to each of the plurality of extension telephones.

Although the home telephone device is provided with the message recording unit (9) in the above embodiment, this message recording / reproducing unit (9) is provided outside the device, and the external message recording / reproducing unit (9) is If control such as rewinding and rewinding can be performed, the same effect as that of the above embodiment can be obtained.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the same message can be transmitted to all extension telephones by only recording the message once. Therefore, the same message is transmitted to all extension telephones. You don't have to call each extension phone yourself when you tell them. Therefore, as the number of extension telephones increases, the convenience is improved because the user does not have to call himself.
