DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a telephone device having a fixed device and a mobile device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of apparatus, when an outside line button is pressed when an outside line is transmitted from a cordless telephone, a wireless connection is established with a main unit (base unit), and outside line button information is transmitted via a communication channel. Is notified to the main unit, the main unit determines whether the corresponding operation is valid, and notifies the result to the cordless telephone via the notification channel.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, it takes a long time from when the outside line button is pressed to whether the operation is valid or not. There is a problem in that a wasteful wireless connection must be made in order to indicate that the outside line cannot be used even though the outside line cannot be used.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems. In a telephone device having a fixed device and a mobile device, the fixed device has an external line indicating whether an external line is mounted or not. When it is determined that a request for mounting information is received from the mobile device, the mobile device includes a notification unit that notifies the mobile device of the external line mounting information, and the mobile device transmits a signal for requesting the external line mounting information. Transmitting means, storage means for storing external line mounting information notified from the fixed machine in response to the request signal, and whether a wireless line is connected to the fixed machine when an external line transmission operation is performed. Determining whether or not to connect a wireless line based on the external line mounting information in the mobile device by including a determining unit that determines whether or not the external line mounting information stored in the storage unit. Also It is.

Is a speech network for connecting an external line to an internal line, and 5-1, 5-2, and 5-3 are external line interfaces for detecting an incoming call, capturing a line, and sending a dial, and 6-1 and 6-.
2, 6-3 are external lines, 7 is an extension interface for communicating with a base unit of an extension cordless telephone, 8 is a cordless base unit for performing wireless communication, 9 is a cordless telephone, 10 is an LCD for performing various displays, and 11-1. , 11-2, and 11-3 are external line buttons (LEDs) corresponding to the external lines 6-1, 6-2, and 6-3.
Attached) and 12 are handsets.

FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the cordless telephone 9.
2, reference numeral 50 denotes an antenna, 51 denotes a wireless unit for performing wireless communication with the base unit 8, 52 denotes a voice input / output unit such as the handset 12, 54 denotes an LCD 10, an outside line button 11-1,
Reference numerals 2 and 3, operation keys such as a numeric keypad and a power key, 55 is a storage unit, and 56 is a control unit.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the control unit 2 of the main unit when the power is turned on in one embodiment of the present invention. The operation will be described below with reference to the drawings.

When the power is turned on, the control unit first detects whether the external line interface 5 is mounted, and stores the mounting information in the memory 3 (step 21). Next, the mounting information is notified to the telephone 9 via the cordless base unit 8 via the control channel (step 22), and if there is a response from the telephone 9 (step 23), the processing is terminated. If there is no response, it is determined that the telephone 9 is not turned on, and a request for mounting information from the telephone 9 is waited.
Is notified to the telephone 9.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the telephone 9 when the power is turned on in one embodiment of the present invention. The operation will be described below with reference to the drawings.

When the power is turned on, the control unit 56 first requests the main unit 1 for mounting information of the external line interface 5 through the control channel (step 31), and waits for the mounting information notification. The main device 1 notifies the mounting information when the power is turned on or when the mounting information request is received. When the mounting information notification is received on the control channel (step 32), the mounting information is stored in the storage unit 55 (step 33), the response is notified to the main device 1, and the process is terminated (step 34). At this time, if the telephone 9 is turned on after the main unit 1, the response from the telephone 9 is ignored by the main unit 1.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the telephone 9 when making a call according to an embodiment of the present invention. The operation will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The control unit 56 first monitors whether the handset 12 is off-hook or whether the external line keys 11-1, 2, and 3 are pressed.
1) Connect the wireless communication with the base unit 8 and perform an extension transmission request process (step 45).

If any of the external line keys 11-1, 2, and 3 is pressed (step 42), the external line interface 5 received from the main unit 1 when the power is turned on and stored in the storage unit 55 is stored.
With reference to the mounting information, it is determined whether or not the external line interface corresponding to the pressed external line key is mounted (step 43). If it is implemented, first, a connection request signal is sent to the base unit 8 through the control channel to connect the base station 8 with the radio, and a designated outside line transmission request process is performed (step 44). If not, the pressed external line key is ignored, and the process is terminated without connecting the wireless communication with the master unit 8.

In the above embodiment, the validity / invalidity of the external line key is determined based on the mounting information of the external line interface 5. However, in other embodiments, information different from the mounting information, for example, transmission restriction information, etc. Also, the telephone 9 is notified in advance, and the telephone 9 controls the outside line transmission operation.

In the above-described embodiment, the mounting information is notified to the telephone 9 when the power is turned on. However, in other embodiments, the information is also notified through the communication channel when the telephone 9 ends the communication.
In this way, even if there is a change in the setting data or the like during operation, there is a specific effect that the information is notified to the telephone 9 if a single call is made.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention,
When the mobile device is ready to receive the external line mounting information from the fixed device, the mobile device receives the external line mounting information from the fixed device and prevents unnecessary wireless connection from being attempted to transmit to an unmounted external line. be able to.
