DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a transmitting / receiving device and a circuit switching system according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of an embodiment of a telephone 30 to which a transmitting / receiving apparatus according to the present invention is applied and an optical card 20 used in the telephone 30. The optical card 20 is a telephone 3
It is a card mounted on the telephone 30 when 0 is used. The optical card 20 is provided with an optical recording section 22 on a card substrate 21. In the optical recording unit 22, the names of a plurality of users registered in advance and the telephone numbers as the line information thereof are recorded.

The recording capacity of the optical recording section 22 is generally about 2.8 megabytes. Therefore, when recording the user's name, telephone number, etc., approximately 280
About 00 information can be recorded. Further, for example, when it is used as an in-house telephone of a company, information such as a seating chart in a department can be recorded in the optical recording unit 22 at the same time.

The telephone 30 is connected to other telephones (not shown) set in a plurality of places through a line 11 (for example, it is installed at each employee's seat in the company). As shown in FIG. 1, the telephone 30 includes an optical recording unit 2
2. A reader / writer 31 for reading the information recorded in 2.
And a touch panel 33 for displaying the read result and specifying a designated destination, and a CPU 32 for controlling the telephone 30.
And a RAM 34 for temporarily holding the information of the optical recording unit 22.
And a control unit 35 for setting a line and the like, and a receiver 15 for inputting and outputting voice.

Next, the above-mentioned telephone 30 and optical card 20
The action of will be described. When the optical card 20 is attached to the telephone 30, the reader / writer 31 reads the line information recorded in the optical recording unit 22 of the optical card 20. The read line information is transmitted to the CPU 32. C
The PU 32 displays this line information on the touch panel 33. The display method on the touch panel 33 may be any method, but for example, the name of the user and the telephone number thereof are displayed, and in the case of the above-mentioned in-house telephone, the seating chart within the department is also displayed. .

The user searches the line information such as the user name and its telephone number displayed on the touch panel 33 for specific line information for which information exchange is desired, and the touch panel 33 on which the line information is displayed. Press the display area above. The touch panel 33 recognizes which display portion has been pressed by the user. This information is transmitted to the CPU 32 and the CPU
Based on this information, 32 determines which line has been designated. When the designated line is judged, the CPU 32
Transmits this information to the control unit 35. The control unit 35
Upon receiving this information, a line is set up between the designated designated telephone set (hereinafter referred to as "telephone 30a") and the designated telephone set 30.

When a line is set up between the telephone 30 and the telephone 30a, the telephone 30 and the telephone a are ready to exchange information. From this state, microphone 1 of handset 15
When a voice is input from 5a, this voice is transmitted to the control unit 35.
Then, the control unit 35 converts the voice into an information signal and transmits the information signal to the designated telephone 30a through the line 11. Similarly, when the control unit 35 receives the voice information signal transmitted from the telephone 30a, the control unit 35 converts this signal into a voice signal and outputs the voice from the speaker 15b of the handset 13. .

The telephone 30 is an information processing device (not shown).
When connected to the telephone, the information can be input to the information processing apparatus and the information can be transmitted to the telephone 30a through the line 11. By being connected to the information processing apparatus, the telephone 30a can output the information transmitted from the telephone 30 to the information processing apparatus.

Further, since the optical recording section 22 has a large recording capacity, it is possible to record communication information which is exchange information together with line information. For example, when character information is recorded as communication information in the optical recording unit 22, when the reader / writer 31 reads this character information, the read information is transmitted to the control unit 35 via the CPU 32, and the control unit 35 It is transmitted from 35 to the designated destination. The designated party can output the transmitted information to the information processing apparatus as described above, or can display it on the touch panel of the designated telephone set 30a. Alternatively, when voice information is recorded as communication information in the optical recording unit 22, this voice information can be transmitted to a designated destination and output as voice from the speaker of the designated receiver.

Although one embodiment of the transmission / reception device and the circuit switching system according to the present invention has been described above, the transmission / reception device and the circuit switching system according to the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and the gist of the present invention is not limited thereto. Various modifications are possible without departing from the scope. For example, the telephone 30
Sets the line by selecting specific line information from the line information recorded in the optical recording unit 22,
It goes without saying that a line can be set up with a telephone that is not recorded in the optical recording unit.

Further, the reader / writer 31 can additionally write various line information and communication information in the optical recording section 22 in response to a user's request.

[0026]

As described above, according to the transmitting / receiving device of the first aspect, the transmitting / receiving device reads the line information recorded on the optical card, and based on the line information, the specific designated destination and the line. Since the information can be set and transmitted, the information can be transmitted based on the line information recorded in the optical card. Furthermore, since the line information is recorded by using the optical recording unit, the cost of the recording unit can be reduced.

According to the transmitting / receiving device of the second aspect, the communication information is recorded on the optical card together with the line information, and the communication information is transmitted. Therefore, the information recorded on the optical card is transmitted. Information can be exchanged.

According to the transmitting and receiving device of the third aspect, since the voice can be transmitted as information,
Information can be exchanged by voice.

According to the circuit switching system of the fourth aspect, the plurality of transmitting / receiving devices are connected by the line network and the information is transmitted through the line network. Therefore, based on the line information of the optical card, Information can be exchanged between a large number of transmitting / receiving devices.
