The communication device E can be carried and carried in a machine room where is prohibited.

When making a remote call using the communication device E, the operation flow is as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Here, first, in step S1 in FIG. 5, the user turns on the power switch 12 by operating the push button 12a of the communication device E, and keeps the device around him. As a result, power is supplied from the battery 13 to the control unit 5, the transmission amplifier 6, and the reception amplifier 7, and the communication device E enters a communication standby state.

Next, a case where an incoming call to the mobile phone 1 is made from the call waiting state of the communication device E will be described. In this case, as shown in an incoming call flow (left column) in FIG. 4, for example, when performing a line test of wireless equipment, when the other party makes a call to the mobile phone 1, the mobile phone receiving the signal receives the signal. The telephone 1 operates, and the received signal (voice signal) is sent to the output terminal (step S3 in FIG. 5). Subsequently, the received signal is sent to the control unit 5 of the communication device E via the extension cord 3 (steps S4 and S5 in FIG. 5). Then, when the received signal reaches the control unit 5, the control unit 5 emits a ringing tone and configures a communication circuit (step S6 in FIG. 5). In this case, the calling circuit is configured so that a call can be made when a ringing tone sounds three times, such as “pull-pulling”, but the number of times the ringing tone sounds is two to three times. It can be adjusted as needed.

When the communication circuit is configured, the reception signal transmitted from the mobile phone 1 to the communication device E is amplified by the reception amplifier 8, adjusted in volume by the speaker volume 9, and then transmitted to the speaker. The speaker is driven by the signal (step S7 in FIG. 5). As a result, the user carrying the communication device E can know that the call has been received by the ringing tone, and can also hear the voice sent from the other party through the speaker.

On the other hand, when the user replies to the other party, when a voice is input to the microphone 7, the voice signal is amplified by the transmission amplifier 6, and then the control unit 5 controls the extension code 3. Is sent to the mobile phone 1 via. When the mobile phone 1 receives the voice signal, it outputs a voice signal to the other party, so that the user's voice signal can be transmitted to the other party (step S8 in FIG. 5). According to the above operation flow, a two-way remote call between the user of the mobile phone 1 and the other party becomes possible, as in the case of ordinary remote use using the mobile phone 1.

During a call, the control unit 5 monitors the BT sound generated at the end of the call, and closes the call circuit when the control unit 5 detects the BT sound. (Step S9 in FIG. 5). Further, if the power switch 12 is turned off by operating the push button 12a, the call waiting state can be ended (step S10 in FIG. 5).

When the user in the machine room wants to contact the other party, for example, as shown in the outgoing call flow (right column) in FIG. The telephone number of the called party is registered in a predetermined storage area (for example, memory 1) (step S11 in FIG. 5). Then, as in the case of the incoming call described above, the mobile phone 1 is placed in a place where radio waves can reach, and the communication device E is brought into the machine room and carried.

When the user wants to contact the registered partner, he pushes the push button 11a to activate the control switch 11 (step S12 in FIG. 5). As a result, the control unit 5 emits a ringing tone, sends a predetermined control signal to the mobile phone 1 via the extension cord 3, and when the mobile phone 1 receives the control signal, the control signal: The mobile phone 1 is controlled, and a radio wave is transmitted from the transmitting unit 1a to the telephone having the telephone number of the other party registered earlier. When the other party responds to the transmission of the radio wave, the mobile phone 1 that has received the response signal sent from the other party by the transmission / reception unit 1a transmits the received signal via the extension cord 3 to the communication device E. To the control unit 5. Then, when the received signal reaches the control unit 5, the control unit 5 terminates the ringing and configures a communication circuit (step S6 in FIG. 5).

Hereinafter, a two-way communication between the user and the other party can be performed by the same operation flow as steps S7 to S10 of the above-described operation flow of the incoming call. Note that the ringing tone can be repeated a plurality of times, such as “pull-pull-pull”, until the other party answers the telephone, that is, until the response signal from the other party reaches the control unit 5. . If the other party does not answer the telephone, the call from the mobile phone 1 to the other party can be terminated by pressing the control switch again.

When the user moves in the machine room, the telephone device E can be carried by using the handle H1 of the portable means M5 or the shoulder band H2. Further, if the cord being drawn is too long, the length of the cord can be shortened by turning the lever L1 to wind the extension cord 3 around the reel L2 and storing it in the storage portion H3. When the distance between the mobile phone 1 and the communication device E is long, the extension cord 3 is replaced with a longer one, so that the extension code 3 is changed according to the change in the distance between the mobile phone 1 and the communication device E. The length of the cord can be adjusted freely.

Therefore, according to the remote communication device E for a portable telephone of the present embodiment, each of the means M1 to M6 can be configured simply and inexpensively without using a component that generates a radio wave such as a CPU. Generation of radio waves to the area around the device can be prevented.

Can transmit data to the surrounding area without generating radio waves, and the signal transmitted from the mobile phone 1 can be automatically received by the automatic receiving means M2. In addition, the calling remote control means M3 can perform an operation of remotely calling the other party with a simple control signal using the mobile phone 1. When a call circuit is configured, the call means M4 can be used. A call can be made between the user of the mobile phone 1 and the other party.

Thus, the user of the mobile phone 1 places the mobile phone 1 using the communication device E in a place where radio waves from the outside reach and where there is no concern about the influence of the radio waves on the surrounding area. By keeping the communication device E at hand, for example, even in a machine room where the use of a portable telephone is prohibited, a remote communication with the outside can be performed using the communication device E from there. Therefore, by using the mobile telephone remote communication device E of the present embodiment for the mobile telephone 1, the user of the mobile telephone 1 can reduce the burden of moving to a place where the mobile telephone can be used. In addition, even when a call is received from outside from the mobile phone 1, it is possible to immediately receive a call using the communication device E and start a call while staying in the machine room. Can also be improved.

Since the M5 is provided in the box B1, the portable means M5 can be configured simply and inexpensively, and the user can easily move the communication device E and always keep it at hand.

In addition, in the storage means M6, since the cord winding mechanism is of a reel type having a lever L1, the extension cord 3 is wound by rotation of the lever L1, and the storage portion in the box B1 is stored. The extension cord 3 can be easily stored in the H3. Thereby, the length of the cord connecting the telephone device E and the portable telephone 1 can be adjusted appropriately according to the change in the distance between the cellular phone 1 and the telephone device E.

Further, the communication device E of the present embodiment can be applied, for example, to a case where a person who is in a blind area of a mobile phone where radio waves are difficult to reach uses the mobile phone 1 using the communication device E. it can. In such a case, while the mobile phone 1 using the communication device E of the present embodiment is placed in a place where radio waves can reach, while the communication device E is kept at hand, as described in the above operation flow, The user of the mobile phone 1 can receive a call from the outside and make a call while in a place where radio waves are difficult to reach. You can make a call with.

Therefore, according to the communication device E of the present embodiment, it is possible to save a user who is in a place where radio waves of the mobile phone 1 are difficult to reach from moving to a place where radio waves can reach and making a telephone call. Not only can you contact the person you want to contact immediately, you can also receive an incoming call at any time and make a call on the spot.

Although the present invention has been described based on the illustrated example, the present invention is not limited to the above-described example.
