The memory reading/calling device wt32 has a so-called speed dial function, and calls a pre-stored telephone number and makes a call. The telephone number may be stored in the storage device 113 of the telephone main body 1, or may be carried out by providing a memory on the memory reading/transmission device [32 side].

Next, the normal basic operation will be explained with reference to FIG.

The control device 10 is a handset/receiver 2 or a call/termination switching device 3
It constantly monitors whether or not the calling state is selected by the operation in step 1 (step 40).When the calling state is selected in step 6, it enters the calling standby state (step 41), and after a predetermined time has elapsed (step 42), the calling state is stopped. If not, the standby state is canceled (step 43). This is for the convenience of the user and to save power, but this routine is not absolutely necessary. Check whether the call is from the memory reading/calling device 132 within a predetermined time (step 44); if so, send the corresponding telephone number via the receiving circuit 11 (step 45); transmitting/receiving switching device 12 to the speaker 4 and microphone 5 side (step 46), while when inputting a number from the number input button 20 of the handset 2 (step 47).

In order to make a call to the operated number (Step 48), the transmitting/receiving switching device M! 12 to the handset 2 side and listen to the receiver speaker 22. Sending/receiving is performed from the transmitting microphone 23 (step 49), and the switching of the transmitting/receiving item switching device [12] is done depending on whether the calling is from the sending/terminating switching device 31 or the handset 2. However, the selection is not limited to this, and may be selected regardless of the call.

FIG. 7 shows the operation for canceling the calling state when the other party does not answer after making a predetermined number of calls.

Check step 50 to see if the outgoing state has been selected.
), if selected, the outgoing call waiting state will be activated (step 5).
1) If there is no number input here, execute another process (
Steps 52.53). Once the number is entered, dial the number (step 54) and count the ringtones (step 54).
Step 55), and when the call is made a predetermined number of times (in this case, 10 times) (step 56), the bell is rung twice to notify that the other party is absent (step 57), and the call is terminated (step 58). Once the line is connected (step 59), perform audio input/output (step 60)
According to such a configuration, there is an advantage that operations during driving can be simplified.

FIG. 8 shows the operation when a call is made from outside. Step 61 of ringing the reception notification bell when there is reception
．． 62), checks whether the received signal is off or not (step 64), and if it is off, stops the bell (step 64) and ends the process. If it is not off, check that the call/end switching device 31 is on (step 65); if it is on, connect the line, turn on the speaker 4 and microphone 5 (step 66), and switch the transmitting/receiving switching device 112. If there is (step 67), the receiver speaker 22 of the handset 2
, turn on the transmitting miter 23, and turn on the speaker 4. Turn off microphone 5 (steps 68 and 69).

Next, FIG. 9 shows the configuration of an embodiment in which the handset 2 is also used as a remote control device.

In this embodiment, the handset 2' is cordlessly connected to the telephone main body 1', and the telephone main body 1' has a transmitting/receiving switching device m! 12' and a speaker 4' are provided. Note that it is also possible to have the configuration of the embodiment shown in FIG. It is also possible to use a wired system rather than a cordless one, which has the disadvantage of limiting the travel distance of the handset 2', but on the other hand, it simplifies the configuration of the handset 2' and the telephone body 1''. It can be manufactured at low cost.

The handset 2' is provided with a remote control output device 27, and the remote control output device 27 can control audio equipment. The remote control output device 27 is the control device 2
4, and the control device 24 is controlled by the number input button 2.
It is configured to output the operation signal from 0 to the remote control output device 27 as a predetermined remote control operation signal.

The control device 24 is provided with a display device 1128,
This is also controlled by the control device wiL24. Further, the receiving speaker 22' and the transmitting microphone 23' are connected to the transmitting/receiving device 25 via the audio circuit 26, and are configured to transmit and receive audio to and from the 1W telephone main body 1'.

The operation will be explained based on FIG.

When the telephone main body 1' is set to the call standby mode by operating the number input button 20 or other operation section (step 7)
0), when there is key power on the number input button 20 within a predetermined time, the control bag [24 recognizes it as the 'd1 talk number and executes the call (step 72), when there is no key power. If so, another process is executed (step 75), and it is determined whether or not the speaker 4' is selected at the time of transmission. If the speaker 4' is selected (step 73), the control device 24 outputs an audio-time stop output from the remote control output circuit 27. Alternatively, a muting output is transmitted to prevent the audio output from the audio equipment from being applied to the speaker 4' (step 74).
, 1! When the 1m machine main body 1' enters the receiving mode (step 76), 2, in order to make the user recognize the sound of the call bell, similarly transmits an audio-time stop output or a muting output, The audio output from the audio equipment is prevented from being applied to the speaker 4' (step 74).

Number input button 20 when neither in sending mode nor receiving mode
If you have the key power (step 77), press number input button 2.
0 is recognized as a remote control output command, and the remote control 8 is executed (step 78).
