When the incoming call detector 5-1 detects the arrival of the incoming call signal of the telephone by providing the antenna 4-6, the receiving antenna 4 is passed through the modulator 5-2, the wireless transmitter 5-3 and the transmitting antenna 5-4. -6, the signal is sent to the wireless reception unit 4-5 and the transmission demodulation unit 4-4, the video signal switching means 4-1 is operated by the output of the demodulation unit 4-4, and the incoming call is generated by the image information generator 4-2. It is characterized in that the message is displayed on the television receiver.

[0007]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, since the incoming call display device is constructed as described above, when the incoming call detectors 4-1 and 5-1 detect the arrival of the incoming call signal of the telephone line, the video signal switching means 4-2 is operated to activate the image information. The incoming message generated by the generator 4-2 can be displayed as an image on the television receiver 3.

【Example】

 [Embodiment 1] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an incoming call display device according to a first embodiment of the first invention of the present application. As shown in the figure, the incoming call display device 4 of the present invention is composed of a video signal switcher 4-1, an image information generator 4-2 and an incoming call detector 4-3, and includes a telephone line TL, a telephone 1 and a video device. 2 and the television receiver 3 are used.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIG. The normal television receiver 3 is connected to the video device 2 through the video signal switcher 4-1 of the incoming call display device 4 and plays back a video tape or receives a broadcast television program. There is. When an incoming call signal arrives through the telephone line, the ringing bell of the telephone 1 rings, the incoming call detector 4-3 detects the incoming call signal, and the output signal outputs the video signal from the video signal switch 4-1 to the image information. It switches to the generator 4-2 and displays an incoming message such as "I just got a call" on the television receiver 3. The recipient can see the message and know that the call is coming.

[Embodiment 2] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an incoming call display device according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. As shown in the figure, a telephone 1 and a telephone line connection unit 5 are connected to the telephone line TL. The telephone line connection unit 5 includes an incoming call detector 5-1, a modulation unit 5-2, a wireless transmission unit 5-3, and a wireless transmission unit 5-3. It is composed of a transmission antenna 5-4. The incoming call display device 4 is composed of a video signal switcher 4-1, an image information generator 4-2, a demodulator 4-4, a wireless receiver 4-5 and a receiving antenna 4-6, a telephone line TL and a telephone. 1, the video device 2 and the television receiver 3 are connected and used.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIG. The normal television receiver 3 is connected to the video device 2 via the video signal switcher 4-1 of the incoming call display device 4 and plays back a video tape or receives a broadcast television program. There is. When an incoming call signal arrives through the telephone line TL, the ringing bell of the telephone 1 rings, and at the same time, the incoming call detector 5-1 of the telephone line connection section 5 detects the incoming call signal, and the output signal is modulated by the modulation section 5-2. Then, the modulated signal is transmitted from the transmission antenna 5-4 via the wireless transmission unit 5-3.

The radio signal is received by the radio reception unit 4-5 via the reception antenna 4-6 and demodulated by the demodulation unit 4-4. The output signal switches the video signal of the video signal switching device 4-1 to the image information generator 4-2 and displays an incoming message such as "I've received a call" on the television receiver 3. The recipient can see the message and know that the call is coming.

In the second embodiment, radio waves are transmitted between the telephone line connection unit 5 and the telephone receiving device 4, but infrared rays may be used as a medium. In addition, by storing the telephone number of the other party and the name corresponding to it in the image information generator 4-2 of the incoming call display device 4 in advance, the telephone number of the other party who received the call can be dealt with. It is also possible to search for the name and display an incoming message on the TV receiver 3 saying "I have a call from ... (name) right now".

[0014]

[Effect of device]

 As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the following effects are expected. If an incoming signal arrives while watching TV, you can be sure that you are aware that you are receiving an incoming call on the phone by displaying the image on the TV even if you notice the ring tone or the incoming call lamp on the phone, so you can enjoy watching TV with peace of mind. . According to the second aspect, since the code between the telephone line connection terminal and the television receiver can be eliminated by transmitting by radio wave radio, it can be easily installed anywhere.
