[0004] The operation of the conventional wireless telephone device configured as described above will be described below. The user is the slave a
When inputting data such as a telephone number and an address book or initial settings relating to a function at the time of activation of the slave unit, the user inputs the data to be stored in the data storage unit 10 from the operation unit 5. The data input from the operation unit 5 is displayed on the display unit 6. After confirming the display, the user presses a button to be stored in the data storage unit 10 from the operation unit 5 so that the control unit 9a causes the data processing unit 4 to operate. The data is stored in the data storage unit 10 via the.

When the data is added to the data storage unit 10, the data can be added until the free space of the data storage unit 10 is exhausted by repeating the same procedure as the above operation. When the data stored in the data storage unit 10 is read or changed, the control unit 9a specifies the data to be read from the operation unit 5 using the operation unit 5.
Is read out from the data storage unit 10 via the data processing unit 4 and is displayed on the display unit 6, and changes are made from the operation unit 5 while checking the display unit 6. The user can confirm and change the stored data such as the initial settings by the same operation.

When a call is made based on the read data, the telephone number of the call destination is selected with the button of the operation unit 5, the telephone number displayed on the display unit 6 is confirmed, and the call button of the operation unit 5 is pressed. Make a call. The call signal from the handset a and the audio signal input and output by the microphone 7 and the speaker 8 and processed by the audio processing unit 3a are converted into radio signals by the radio unit 2a.
Radio waves are transmitted from the slave unit a via the antenna unit 1a. The wireless signal is received by the antenna unit 1b of the base unit b,
b, the line interface unit 1 through the audio processing unit 3b
4 and a call can be made by connecting to the wired line 18.

The data stored in the data storage unit 10 is backed up and is not erased even when the power is turned off. When the power of the slave unit a is turned on again, the initial value of the data input last by the user is restored. It will be in the setting state. When the slave unit a is mounted on the master unit b, the charging current is supplied from the charging circuit unit 13 of the master unit b to the battery unit 11 serving as the power source of the slave unit a when the charging terminals 12a and 12b are connected.

[0008]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional wireless telephone device, when a plurality of users use the slave unit a, information such as telephone numbers input by each user is stored in the data storage unit 10. Therefore, it is difficult to retrieve necessary information from the memory. When changing the initial settings stored in the memory of the slave unit a for each user, the next user responds to the user while displaying and confirming information such as the initial settings set by the previous user. There is a problem that it is troublesome to input the change of the initial setting.

[0009] The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and enables a wireless device capable of authorizing memory information such as a telephone number and initial settings of a slave unit according to each user even when a plurality of users use the slave unit. It was intended to provide telephone equipment.

[0010]

Unit, 18 is a wired line, 19a and 19b are I
This is a connection terminal between the / O interface sections 17.

The operation of the wireless telephone device configured as described above will be described below. When the user inputs data such as a telephone number and an address book, or initial settings relating to a function at the time of activation of the slave unit a, into the data storage unit 10 of the slave unit a,
The data to be stored in the data storage unit 10 is input from the operation unit 5. The data input from the operation unit 5 is displayed on the display unit 6, and the user confirms the display, and
By pressing a button to be stored in the data storage unit 10, the control unit 9a stores the data in the data storage unit 10 via the data processing unit 4. In addition, when the data is added to the data storage unit 10, the data can be added until the free area of the data storage unit 10 is exhausted by repeating the above procedure in the same procedure.

When reading or changing data stored in the data storage unit 10, the control unit 9a designates data to be read from the operation unit 5 by using the operation unit 5.
Is read out from the data storage unit 10 via the data processing unit 4 and is displayed on the display unit 6, and changes are made from the operation unit 5 while checking the display unit 6. The user can confirm and change the stored data such as the initial settings by the same operation.

When a call is made based on the read data, the telephone number of the call destination is selected with the button of the operation unit 5, the telephone number displayed on the display unit 6 is confirmed, and the call button of the operation unit 5 is pressed. Make a call. The calling signal from the slave unit a and the audio signal input and output by the microphone 7 and the speaker 8 and processed by the audio processing unit 3a are converted into a wireless signal by the wireless unit 2a, and the radio signal is transmitted from the slave unit a via the antenna unit 1a. Send
The wireless signal is received by the antenna unit 1b of the master unit b, and is connected to the wired line 18 via the line interface unit 14 through the wireless unit 2b and the audio processing unit 3b, so that a call can be made.

The data stored in the data storage unit 10 is backed up and is not erased even when the power is turned off. When the power of the slave unit a is turned on again, the initial data of the data last inputted by the user is restored. It will be in the setting state. When the battery unit 11, which is the power source of the slave unit a, attaches the slave unit a to the master unit b, a charging current is supplied from the charging circuit 13 of the master unit b by connecting the charging terminals 12a and 12b. The above operation is the same as in the conventional example.

The difference from the conventional example is that the address of the data storage unit 15 of the base unit b is set by the individual user inputting from the operation unit 5 and the slave unit a is set to the base unit b.
When attached to the telephone number, the address book, and the like stored in the data storage unit 10 of the slave unit a through the I / O interface 17.
The data such as the initial setting is transferred to the data storage unit 15 of the address set value of the block storage unit of the master unit b managed by the block address management unit 16 and stored.

When reading out the data stored at a designated address in the data storage unit 15 divided into a plurality of blocks for each user, the slave unit a is attached to the master unit b and the I / O interface 17 is connected. When the user inputs the address of the data storage unit 15 of the parent device b which has been blocked from the operation unit 5, the control unit 9b is stored in the data storage unit 15 from the block designated by the block address management unit 16. The data such as the telephone number, address book, and initial settings are transferred to the data storage unit 10 of the slave unit a, and the stored data is replaced.
