[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, this type of telephone device has been configured as a home or business telephone system, and when a telephone detects an incoming call signal from a central office switch, a ringer circuit in the telephone operates to build a ring tone. Output through the speaker.

Such a telephone is equipped with a ringing volume changeover switch for adjusting the volume of the ringing tone and stopping the output of the ringing tone, as shown in FIG. 4 (a). The switching operation section 41 is provided on the side surface of the telephone housing 42. The ringing sound switching operation section 41 is composed of a slide groove 43 provided on the side surface of the housing 42 and a knob section 44 slidably provided in the slide groove 43, as shown in FIG. As shown, "large", "small", and "off" are displayed along the side edge of the slide groove 43 as the operation position of the knob portion 44 corresponding to the switching position of the ring volume switching switch. Therefore, the user can increase the ringing volume by manually moving the knob portion 44 to the “high” position, and can reduce the ringing volume by moving it to the “low” position. .. Further, the output of the ringing tone can be stopped by moving the knob portion 44 to the “off” position. According to this function, for example, at the user's house, a bedroom or a room close to the bedroom at night. You can use it so that the ringing volume selector switch of the telephone placed in "OFF" is set to "OFF" so that the ringing tone does not sound when arriving at the office, and that a person who is awake at the telephone in another room answers the ringing tone. ..

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-mentioned conventional telephone device, the switching to stop the output of the ringing tone when the telephone arrives at the station is performed manually by operating the knob of the ringing volume switching switch. When it is desired to stop it, there is a problem that the operating position of the knob has to be switched for each start and end time of the stop time for each telephone. For this reason, as in the previous example of usage, if the ringing tone of the telephone in a certain room is stopped during the night, forget to switch the ringing volume switch of the telephone even during the daytime. There is a problem that I kept it "off" and could not answer the incoming call even in the room with the telephone, or that I did not notice that the ringing tone was ringing in another room. there were.

The present invention solves such a conventional problem, and provides an excellent telephone device capable of automatically outputting a ringing tone at the time of arrival at a station or automatically stopping the ringing tone. The purpose is to

[0008]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The telephone device of the present invention comprises a plurality of telephones, each of which is used for making and receiving calls to and from the outside, and FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of the telephone itself. In FIG. 1, 1 is an incoming call detection unit that detects an incoming signal from a local line, 2 is a line connection unit that captures a line to form a DC loop, and 3 is a call control unit that controls a call. 4 is a handset for communication after off-hook, 5 is a ringing tone creating unit for creating a ringing tone, 6 is a speaker for outputting the ringing tone, and 7 is for setting the time. A clock unit, 8 is a ringing tone control unit that controls the ringing tone creating unit 5, 9 is a keyboard for performing dial operations and inputting various data, and 10 is input data, clock time, and incoming call. And the like, 11 is a CPU for monitoring and controlling each part of the telephone, and 12 is an operation mode selector switch for switching the operation mode of the CPU 11.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. In the above-described embodiment, when the operation mode changeover switch 12 is turned on, the CPU 11 is switched to the setting mode so that various setting values necessary for the operation of this telephone can be input. In this setting mode, the operator performs the setting shown in FIG. 2 by inputting the keyboard 9 through the display 10 according to the guidance. That is, first, the presence / absence of ringing tone output at the time of arrival is set (step 21). If "Yes" is set, it is further set whether or not to stop the output of the ringing tone during a predetermined time period (step 22). If you want to set the ringing tone output stop time zone here, enter the stop start time and the stop end time to move to the next setting.If you do not set the ringing tone output stop time period, leave it as it is. Move to the setting of. If the ringing tone output is set to "absent" (step 21), the process directly proceeds to the next setting.

After the setting is completed, when the operation mode changeover switch 12 is turned off, the CPU 11 is switched to the telephone use mode and is in a waiting state for incoming and outgoing calls. Here, when the incoming call detection unit 1 detects an incoming call signal from the local line, the detection signal a of the incoming call detection unit 1 is detected by the CPU 11, and the CPU 11 creates a ring tone according to the above-mentioned setting contents as shown in FIG. The part 5 is controlled. That is, when there is an incoming call from the central line (step 31), it is first determined whether or not the ringing tone is output (step 32). When the ringing tone output is set to “present” and the ringing tone output stop time period is not set, the CPU 11 outputs the ringing tone output signal b to the ringing tone control unit 8, but the time monitoring of the clock unit 7 is performed. Therefore, the ringing tone stop signal c is not output from the clock unit 7 to the ringing tone control unit 8. As a result, the ringing tone output control signal d is output from the ringing tone control unit 8 to the ringing tone creating unit 5, and the ringing tone creating unit 5 creates the ringing tone and outputs it through the ringing tone speaker 6. Further, when the ringing tone output is set to “present” and the ringing tone output stop time zone is set, the CPU 11 monitors the time of the clock unit 7 to determine whether the time of the incoming call is within the stop time. It is determined whether or not (step 33). If it is within the time, the ringing tone stop signal c is output from the clock unit 7, and the ringing tone output control signal d is not output from the ringing tone control unit 8. Therefore, the ringing tone creation unit 5 does not output the ringing tone. .. On the contrary, if the time of arrival is not within the stop time, the ringing tone stop signal c is not output from the clock unit 7 and the ringing tone output control signal d is output from the ringing tone control unit 8. A ringing tone is output from the creating unit 5. When the ringing tone is set to "none", the CPU 11 does not output the ringing tone output signal b, so the ringing tone control unit 8 does not operate and the ringing tone creating unit 5 does not output the ringing tone.

As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, the presence / absence of the ringing tone output is set for each telephone by the input from the keyboard 9 in response to the incoming from the central line, and the ringing tone output is set to “present”. By setting the time zone for stopping the ringing tone as necessary when set, the CPU 11 controls the ringing tone creation unit 5 according to the setting contents when arriving at a station. The ringtone of can be automatically output or automatically stopped for a limited time. Therefore, according to this telephone device, at the user's house, the ringing tone of the telephone placed in the bedroom or the room close to the bedroom is stopped at night as in the conventional case, and the person who is awake at the telephone in the other room. Can be used to respond to the ringing tone, and it is not necessary to manually switch the ringing tone output stoppage at the time of arrival at each telephone as in the conventional method. Never forget to return from the state to the output state.

In the above embodiment, when the ringing tone output is set to “present”, the time zone for stopping the ringing tone is set, but the time zone for outputting the ringing tone is set and It is also possible to control so that the ringing tone is not output outside the time zone. As another method, the ringing tone output can be set to “none” and the time zone can be set, and the ringing tone can be output outside the time zone.
