Abstract

PURPOSE:To regulate an incoming ring tone volume of an opposite party by a caller depending on the urgency or importance or the like by providing a ring tone volume control section regulating the incoming ring tone volume of a ring tone generating section of a called party key telephone set with the operation of a caller key telephone set of a central processing unit. CONSTITUTION:Key telephone sets 1a, 1b are provided with a ring tone generating section 2 and a ring tone volume control variable resistor 3 applying the tone control of the ring tone generating section 2 and a central processing unit 4 is provided with a ring tone volume control section 5. When a caller dials an extension number and depresses a ring tone volume UP key, the ring tone volume control section 5 of the central processing unit 4 detects it to control the ring tone generating section of the called party key telephone set 1a depending on the number of times of depression to increase the incoming ring tone volume. Thus, the caller can regulate the ring tone volume of the called party key telephone set 1a and the called party can recognize the urgency or importance of the call.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ringing volume control device for a button telephone used in a button telephone system, an electronic exchange system, etc.

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 2 shows a conventional key telephone ringing volume control device. In FIG. 2, 21 is a button telephone;
A ringing sound generating section 22 and a ringing volume control volume 23 for controlling the volume of the ringing sound generating section 22 are provided. A central processing unit 24 monitors and controls the status of the ringing sound source 25, the communication path network 26, and the key telephone 21.

Next, the operation of the above conventional example will be explained.

When the button telephone 21 receives a call, the central processing unit 24 connects the ringing sound source 25 and the button telephone 21 via the communication channel network 26. The ringing volume is set by the called party button telephone 21.
The user of the key telephone 21 is predetermined by adjusting the ringing volume control volume 23, and the button telephone 21 uses its ringing sound generating section 22 to ring an incoming call at a volume based on this.

In this way, even in the above-mentioned conventional button telephone ringing volume control device, when the called button telephone user operates the ringing volume control volume 23, the ringing volume of the ringing sound generator can be adjusted.

Problem to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above conventional example, since the ringing volume adjustment is left to the operation of the ringing volume control volume 23 by the user of the called party's button telephone, the ringing volume may be set too low on the called party. There is a risk that it may be adjusted. Another problem is that the called party cannot know the urgency or importance of the call just by ringing.

The present invention solves these conventional problems, and makes it possible to prevent incoming calls from being ignored due to under-adjustment of the ringing volume, and also to make it possible for the called party to recognize the urgency of the call when the ringing occurs. It is an object of the present invention to provide a ringing volume control device for a key telephone, which makes it possible to know the importance of a key telephone.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an electronic switching system that detects and controls various states of the key telephone, or a central processing unit of the key telephone main device, which is configured to control the calling party's key telephone. The apparatus is equipped with a ringing volume control section that adjusts the ringing volume of a ringing sound generating section of the called side button telephone by operation.

Therefore, according to the present invention, when the caller performs a ringing volume control operation on his/her button telephone after completing dialing from the key telephone, the ringing volume control section of the central processing unit detects this and controls the ringing volume of the caller. It is possible to control the ringing volume of the ringing sound generator of the called party button telephone according to the operation details of the calling party, thereby adjusting the ringing volume of the called party button telephone.

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numerals 1a, 1b, .

4 is a central processing unit, and is provided with a ringing volume control section 5. This central processing unit 4 monitors and controls the status of the ringing sound source 6, the communication path network 7, and the button telephone 1, and
The ringing volume control section 5 can control the ringing sound generating section 2.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

For example, after the user of button telephone [b] goes off-hook,
When an extension dial is made to the button telephone 1a, the central processing unit 4 connects the ringing sound source 6 and the button telephone 1a to the communication route network 7.
Connect via. The ringing volume is set by the called party button telephone 1a.
The number of users is predetermined by adjusting the ringing volume control volume 3, and the button telephone 1a causes its ringing sound generating section 2 to ring an incoming call at a volume based on this. During this time, the ringer volume control unit 5 of the central processing unit 4 monitors the key information of the calling side key telephone 1b, and when it detects the key information assigned to the ringer volume increase request of the calling side key telephone 1b, The ringing sound generating section 2 of the side button telephone 1a is controlled to increase the ringing volume by one level. Monitoring of the key information of the calling side key telephone 1b continues until the key telephone 1a responds.

As described above, according to the above embodiment, when the caller presses the ringer volume up key after dialing an extension, the ringer volume control unit 5 of the central processing unit 4 detects this and adjusts the number of calls according to the number of presses. Since the ringing sound generating section 2 of the calling side button telephone 1a can be controlled to increase the ringing sound of an incoming call, the calling party can adjust the ringing volume of the called side button telephone 1a.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, when the caller performs a ring volume control operation on his/her own key telephone after completing dialing from the key telephone, the ring volume control section of the central processing unit detects this. The ringing volume of the ringing sound generator of the called button telephone is controlled in accordance with the operation details of the calling party, thereby adjusting the ringing volume of the called button telephone. Therefore, the calling party can adjust the ringing volume of the other party's incoming call depending on the urgency, importance, etc., so the called party can recognize the urgency, importance, etc. of the incoming call based on the ringing volume.

In addition, the caller can increase the volume of the other party's incoming ringer when the other party's response is slow, which prevents incoming calls from being ignored or responses to be delayed due to insufficient adjustment of the ringer on the called party or deterioration of the noisy environment. be able to.
