Wherein the slave unit is provided with a built-in speaker that outputs the transferred message through a receiving circuit.

[0008]

The present invention has the following functions by the above-mentioned structure.

In a cordless answering machine, when an outside line is received, the answering machine responds to the answering message, transfers the message of the other party to the slave unit, and outputs the loudspeaker from the built-in speaker of the slave unit. In addition, the message of the other party input together with the message ID addressed to the absentee can be transferred to the child device to which the message ID is sent, and can be output to the built-in speaker of the child device.

[0010]

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 101 denotes a base unit with a transmitting / receiving antenna in a cordless answering machine, which is connected to a central office line 102 through a telephone unit 104, and a handset 103 and a main unit speaker 109 are connected to the telephone unit 104. Is done. Reference numeral 105 denotes a receiving circuit that receives transmission from each slave, and 107 denotes a transmission circuit that performs transmission to each slave. 108 is an answering machine for performing an answering machine function of the apparatus, and
4. The receiving circuit 105, the transmitting circuit 107, and the answering machine function unit 108 are controlled by the CPU 106.

Reference numeral 110 denotes one of a plurality of slave units having a transmitting / receiving antenna connected to the master unit 101 by radio.
111, a built-in speaker 114 and a receiver 1
15 is a receiving circuit connected thereto, and 113 is a transmitting circuit connected to a microphone 116, and these circuits 111 and 113 are connected.
Is controlled by the CPU 112 in the same manner as described above.

In the first embodiment, the master unit 101
Responds to an incoming call from outside via the answering machine 108,
The other party's message is output from the main body speaker 109 of the base unit 101, and the CPU 106 sends a control signal to the pre-specified handset 110 of the plurality of handset via the transmission circuit 107, and the station line 102, the telephone unit 104 The message is transferred through the transmission circuit 107. Slave unit 110
Receives a control signal from the CPU 112 via the receiving circuit 111, and the CPU 112 controls the receiving circuit 111, and outputs the message from the built-in speaker 114.

In the second embodiment, the master 101
Responds to an incoming call from outside via the answering machine 108,
The message of the other party is output from the main body speaker 109 of the base unit 101, and the message ID is
From the telephone unit 104,
This message ID is input to 06, the CPU 106 sends a control signal to the slave unit 110 of the ID via the transmission circuit 107, and transfers the message through the office line 102, the telephone unit 104, and the transmission circuit 107.
