Description

Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a telephone with a hold function, and more particularly to a hold function for detecting whether a user has a handset and controlling a hold function of a line. Related to attached telephones.

[Prior Art] In a conventional telephone with a hold function, a button switch or the like for holding is provided on a telephone body with a hold function in order to hold a line.

Then, while holding the handset with one hand, the hold button is operated with the other hand, or the handset is once put down and operated.

[Problem to be Solved] In the above-mentioned conventional telephone with a hold function, when both hands are occupied, one of the hands must be released and the hold button must be pressed, and once the handset is placed, However, there is an inconvenience that the user forgets to press the hold button.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has as its object to provide a telephone with a hold function that can more efficiently use the hold function.

[Means for Solving the Problems] To achieve the above object, a telephone with a holding function of the present invention is a telephone with a holding function having a holding circuit, wherein the holding circuit forms only both sides of the handset with conductors, and A human body detecting unit for detecting contact / non-contact between the handset and a human body, the other part of the handset other than both side surfaces being formed of a non-conductor, and a non-contact with the human body by the human body detecting unit And a control unit that activates the holding circuit when the is detected.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a schematic configuration of a telephone with a hold function according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a control procedure in the telephone with a hold function of FIG.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the telephone with a hold function shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is an expanded view of a handset in the telephone with a hold function of FIG.

1 to 4, 1 is a main body, 2 is a handset, 3, 4
Are the two sides of the handset, the A side 3 and the B side 4, respectively. The handset 2 uses conductors only on the AB side surfaces 3 and 4, and uses non-conductors on the other side surfaces. Also,
A holding circuit is provided in the main body 1. A holding function on / off control unit for controlling on / off of the holding circuit is provided with an AB side 3, 4.
And a detector for detecting contact with a human body.

Next, in the telephone with a holding function having the above configuration,
The hold control will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the user goes off-hook to make a call (step 5). By the way, when grasping the handset, his hand contacts the side of AB at the same time. Then, because the body is a conductor,
When the handset is gripped, conduction is established between the AB side surfaces 3 and 4. Therefore, this is detected (step 6), and the hold is turned off (step 7).

However, if you let go of the hold, AB side 3,4
Is no longer conductive. Then, the detector of the main body 1 detects this (step 6) and turns on the hold (step 8).

When the handset is grasped again, the AB side surfaces 3 and 4 conduct, and the detector detects (step 6) and releases the hold (step 7).

However, since it is normal that the handset 2 is not touched in the on-hook state, the above determination is not performed (step 9).

Thus, in this embodiment, the conductor material is used only on both side surfaces of the handset. Therefore, the AB side surfaces are insulated from each other as long as there is no external contact. Conversely, when the handset is held, the two sides are made conductive.

On the other hand, the main body is provided with a detector for determining whether or not the AB side surface of the handset is in a conductive state, and is connected to a hold function on / off control unit for turning on / off the line hold. Therefore, when the hand is removed from the handset, the conduction state is interrupted, and the line is automatically held.

In other words, it has two separate conductors on the surface of the handset, has the function of detecting whether they are in contact with the body at the same time, and automatically holds the call in the case of non-contact It has.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment,
It includes various modifications within the scope of the gist. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the detection of the human body is performed in a state of conduction between the two conductors provided in the handset, but the detection is performed using a microswitch, a temperature sensor, or an optical sensor in a gripped portion. It can also be configured.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention facilitates holding when both hands are occupied, prevents forgetting to hold, and improves the convenience of the holding function. There is an effect that can be provided.
