(Prior Art) In recent years, wireless telephone devices that are used by being connected to a wired telephone line such as a subscriber line have become popular, and some of these devices include a wireless line control device. FIG. 4 shows an example of this type of device, which includes a plurality of wireless telephones 11 to 1.
n, and a plurality of connection devices 31 to 31 to which these wireless telephones 11 to 1n are connected via wireless lines 21 to 2n, respectively.
3m, and a wireless line control device 5 to which these connection devices 31 to 3m are connected via connection lines 41 to 4m, respectively. This radio line control device 5 constantly monitors and stores information indicating which connection device 31 to 3m zone each of the above-mentioned radio telephones 11 to 1n is located, and when making and receiving calls, multiple The subscriber lines 61 to 6n and the connection devices 31 to 3m are selectively connected to each other.

Therefore, in such a device, for example, the subscriber line 6
When an incoming call occurs on the subscriber line 6, the radio line control device 5 first uses the position information of the radio telephones 11 to 1n to connect the subscriber line 6 to the subscriber line 6.
It is checked in which connection device zone the radio telephone 11 corresponding to No. 1 is currently located, and an incoming call signal is output to the connection device (31 in the figure) in the zone where this radio telephone 11 is located. Then, the connection device 31 sets a control channel in the wireless line 21 by detecting the incoming signal, sends the incoming signal to the wireless telephone 11 via this control channel, and notifies the wireless telephone 11 of the occurrence of an incoming call. do. In response, when the wireless telephone 11 responds by going off-hook, this response signal is sent from the wireless telephone 11 to the wireless line controller 5 via the control channel of the wireless line 21 and the connection device 31, and as a result, the wireless line The control device 5 connects the subscriber line ]- and the connection device 31. Also, at this time, the connection device 31 and the wireless 7Ii
A communication channel is set up between the wireless telephone 21 and the telephone 21 in place of the control channel, and thereafter the wireless telephone 11 is able to communicate with the caller's telephone via this communication channel.

On the other hand, for example, if a calling operation is performed on the radio telephone 13, the radio telephone 13 uses the control channel of the radio line 23 to send out a calling signal to the connecting device 32 to which it belongs. Then, the connecting device 32 connects the wireless telephone 13
Notifies the wireless line control device 5 of the call made by ``, and the wireless line control device 5 that receives this notification captures the subscriber line 63 corresponding to the wireless telephone 13 and connects this subscriber line 63 with the connecting device 32. Connect with. Then, when the subscriber confirms the dial tone and performs a dial operation, the wireless telephone 1
3 sends dialing information to the connecting device 32, a dialing signal is generated by the connecting device 32 in accordance with this dialing information, and this dialing signal is sent to the subscriber line 63 via the radio line control device 5. A call is then made to the other party. Then, when the other party answers, a communication path is formed between the other party's telephone and the wireless telephone 13 via the communication channel of the wireless line 23, and from then on, it becomes possible to talk between the wireless telephones.

Incidentally, this type of device generally has an unoccupied mode and an occupied mode as operating modes of the connecting devices 31 to 3m. Non-occupied mode is a mode that does not specify connectable wireless telephones, and a connecting device set to this non-occupied mode can connect to any wireless telephone as long as it exists within its own zone. . On the other hand, occupied mode specifies which wireless telephones can be connected.
A connection device set to this exclusive mode connects only to the specified wireless telephone. Therefore, by appropriately setting these unoccupied mode and occupied mode for each connected device, it is possible to use, for example, one of the connected devices exclusively for executives.

However, in conventional devices, a maintenance worker inputs a switching command to the wireless line control device 5 to set the non-occupied mode and the occupied mode, and this command is sent to the wireless line control device 5.
This is done by downloading the information to the corresponding connection device. Therefore, setting operations are extremely troublesome, and subscribers cannot easily set the mode.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, the conventional devices have a difficulty in operability when setting the mode of the connected device. The purpose is to provide a wireless telephone device that allows subscribers to perform operations easily and quickly, thereby providing excellent operability.

[Structure 1 of the Invention (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a radio telephone with mode switching request sending means for sending a switching request between an occupied mode and a non-occupied mode to a connecting device, and The connecting device includes a switching request detecting means for monitoring the arrival of a mode switching request transmitted from the radio telephone, and an operation mode switching setting means, and when a mode switching request is detected by the switching request detecting means, The operating mode switching setting means switches the operating mode of the device to an occupied mode or a non-occupied mode in accordance with the content of the mode switching request.

(Function) As a result, the subscriber can set the operation mode from the nearest wireless telephone if necessary, which greatly improves the operability in setting the operation mode. settings can be made in a short time.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a circuit block diagram showing the main part configuration of a non-wireless telephone device in an embodiment of the present invention, in which 10 is a radio telephone;
0 indicates a connecting device. In addition, 20a, 20

This mode switching request sending means 110 creates mode switching request information and sends this information to the control channel when a mode switching request is input using the dial key 109 according to a predetermined operating procedure. and sends it to the connection device 30. Here, the mode switching request information includes identification information (for example, a telephone number) of the wireless telephone that can be used only when switching to the occupied mode is specified in the switching instruction information to the occupied mode or the non-occupied mode.
is added.

On the other hand, the sewing device 30 includes a receiver 301 and a transmitter 302.
, guides the call signal that arrives via the connection line 40 during a call to the transmitter 302 via the hybrid circuit 303,
The signal is transmitted from the transmitter 302 to the downlink wireless line 20a via the transmitting antenna 304. Also, upstream wireless line 20b
A call signal sent from the wireless telephone 10 via the receiving antenna 305 is received by the receiver 301, and then sent to the connection line 4o via the hybrid circuit 303. Furthermore, this connection device 3o has a control circuit 306, which sends an incoming signal sent from the radio line control device to the radio telephone 1° during call control, and transmits calling information and dialing information from the radio telephone 1o. When sent, the control circuit 306 generates a calling signal and a corresponding dialing signal and sends them to the connection line 40.

By the way, the control circuit 306 has a microcomputer as a main control section like the control circuit 107 of the radio telephone 10, and in addition to the call originating/receiving control means and the call control means, the control circuit 306 also has a mode switching request detecting means 307 and a mode switching request detecting means 307. A switching setting means 308 is provided. First of all, the mode switching request detecting means 307 monitors whether or not a signal arriving from the radio telephone 10 using a control channel during standby is mode switching request information. On the other hand, the mode switching setting means 308 is connected to the mode switching request detecting means 3.
When mode switching request information is detected by 07, switching from occupied mode to non-occupied mode or from non-occupied mode to weighted mode is performed depending on the content, and in the case of switching to occupied mode, it is used. It stores the identification information of the enabled wireless telephone.

Next, the operation of the apparatus configured as above will be explained.

During standby mode, if, for example, the "#' key and the a Hs key of the dial key 109 are operated in succession on the radio telephone 10, the control circuit 107 determines that the operation mode switching request has been made manually, and then When the "1" key is operated, non-occupied mode designation information is generated, and when the "2# key is input, occupied mode designation information is generated and sent to the connecting device 30. Further, the control circuit 107 encodes, for example, a telephone number input from the dial key 109 following the "2" key, and sends it to the connection device 30.

On the other hand, the control circuit 306 of the connection device 30 sometimes performs standby in steps 2a and 2b as shown in FIG.
, 2c repeatedly monitor incoming calls, monitor outgoing calls, and monitor the arrival of mode switching request information. In this state, if mode switching request information arrives from the radio telephone 10 using the control channel of the uplink radio line 20b, the control circuit 306 will control the arrival of this information in step 2.
It is detected at step C and the process moves to step 2d, where the content of the mode designation information is first determined. If it is now the occupied mode designation information, the process moves to step 2e, where it is determined whether the current operating mode is the non-occupied mode. If it is in the non-occupied mode, the process moves to step 2f, where the operation mode is switched to the occupied mode, and further, in step 2g, the telephone number that comes after the above-mentioned occupied mode designation information is used as identification information of a usable wireless telephone. Remember. Incidentally, if it is determined in step 2e that the current operation mode is not the non-occupied mode, that is, if the occupied mode has already been set, there is no need to switch the mode, and the standby state is returned to.

On the other hand, in determining the content of the mode designation information in step 2d, if it is determined that non-occupied mode designation information has arrived, the control circuit 306 proceeds to step 2h, where it determines whether or not the current operating mode is the occupied mode. judge.

If it is determined that the occupied mode is set, the operation mode is switched from the occupied mode to the non-occupied mode in step 21, and the standby mode is returned to. At this time, the control circuit 306 erases the telephone number of the wireless telephone that was registered during the exclusive mode.

As described above, in this embodiment, the operating mode of the connecting device 30 can be switched by transmitting mode switching request information from the wireless telephone 10, so that the subscriber can easily and quickly set the operation mode of the connecting device 30 by sending the mode switching request information from the wireless telephone 10. The operating mode of the connected device can be set.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, in the above embodiment, if the occupation mode designation information arrives while the occupation mode is set, the standby state is returned to the standby state as is, but as shown in FIG. Without transitioning, it is determined in step 2j whether or not there has been a change in the telephone number, and if there has been a change in the telephone number, the new telephone number is registered in step 2, and then the standby state is returned. You can do it like this. In this way, if you want to change only the registered telephone number while the exclusive mode is set, you can easily change it. By the way, if you try to change the phone number in the case shown in Figure 2, you must first switch the operating mode of the connected device to non-occupied mode, then set it to exclusive mode again, and then register the new phone number. This makes the operation somewhat troublesome. In addition, regarding the configuration of the mode switching request information, the control procedure of the mode switching request sending means, the control procedure and control contents of the mode switching request detecting means and the mode switching setting means, the number of wireless telephones, connection devices, and Q-line lines, etc. However, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, a radio telephone is provided with a mode switching request sending means for sending a switching request between an occupied mode and a non-occupied mode to a connecting device, and The apparatus includes a switching request detection means for monitoring the arrival of a mode switching request transmitted from the radio telephone, and an operation mode switching setting means, and when the switching request detection means detects the mode switching request, the above-mentioned By setting the operation mode of the own device to the occupied mode or the non-occupied mode according to the contents of the mode change request by the operation mode switching setting means, the subscriber can easily and quickly set the operation mode. This makes it possible to provide a wireless telephone device with excellent operability.
