Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cordless button telephone device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 3 shows a system configuration including a main unit of a conventional cordless button telephone device, a connecting device, a cordless telephone, and a key telephone with an LCD display. 1 is a main device, 2 (~ 2m) is a connection device, 3 (~ 3n) is a cordless telephone, 4 (~ 4m) is a button telephone, and 5 is an office line. The main device 1 includes a position registration unit, that is, a position registration information storage unit 101, and the key telephone 4 includes an LCD display 40.
1 and a handset 402. In the conventional cordless button telephone device, in order for the cordless telephone 3 to operate, the cordless telephone 3 is wirelessly connected to the connection device 2 and is within the control range of the cordless button telephone device. It is necessary to recognize it, for example, the cordless button telephone device stores and controls the position registration information in association with each cordless telephone 3.

In this conventional example, the cordless telephone 3
On the other hand, when an incoming call is made from the calling side button telephone 4 as shown in FIG. 4 (S ₁ ), the main unit 1 searches the location registration information storage unit 101, and the location registration information of the corresponding cordless telephone 3 is searched. Confirm whether or not there is (S ₂ ). If the position registration information is present, performs control for shifting to the call state (S _3). If there is no location registration information is displayed on the calling button phone 4 on the display or display sound such as "not what you would call" as an invalid call (S _4), shifts to the standby state (S _5). In such a conventional cordless button telephone device, the cordless telephone 3 is in a state where it is not registered in the main device 1 of the cordless telephone device because the cordless telephone device 3 is turned off or the distance from the connection device 2 is too far. If there is an incoming call from the other key telephone 4 to the cordless telephone 3 at that time, the cordless telephone device cannot answer the call, and the cordless telephone device indicates to the calling side button telephone 4 that it cannot call. Is displayed on the LCD display 401 of the key telephone 4 or a display sound indicating that is given to the handset 402, and processing for ending the call is performed. On the other hand, if there is no location registration information of the cordless telephone 3 for an incoming call from the calling station line 5, a display and a display sound (busy tone, etc.) indicating that the call cannot be made for an invalid call.
The fact is that no message is sent.

[0004]

Therefore, in such a conventional apparatus, when the incoming call from the button telephone 4 or the central line 5 at this time is of important content, the cordless telephone 3 performs position registration. Even after becoming operable in the cordless button telephone device, there is a problem that there is no means for knowing that this important content has been called and there is no means for knowing the content.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and provides a cordless button telephone device which is reliable and easy for users to use.

[0006]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is provided with a position registration unit and a voice mail function unit,
If the cordless telephone is not registered in the location registration section and there is an incoming call from the other button telephone or the central office line, the call is processed by the voice mail function section. , A voice message indicating that the target cordless telephone is not registered is sent to the calling button telephone or the calling office line, and the calling button telephone records the message to be transmitted to the target cordless telephone. Terminate the call. After that, when the cordless telephone turns on the power switch, or comes close to the connection device and returns to the area to register the position in the position registration unit and becomes operable in the cordless button telephone device, the voice mail function unit detects this. A call is made to this cordless telephone, and after the cordless telephone responds to the incoming call, the content of the message recording recorded in the voice mail function section is reproduced and transmitted.

[0007]

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to automatically prevent the occurrence of the unresponsive state to the incoming call in the state where the location is not registered because the handset is a cordless telephone. Therefore, the cordless button telephone device can be provided to the user with ease and ease of use.

[0008]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. 1A is a main device, 2 ... 2m are connection devices, 3 ... 3n are cordless telephones, 4 ... 4m are button telephones, and 5 is one or a plurality of office lines accommodated in the main device 1A. The main device 1A includes a position registration information storage unit (position registration unit) 101 and a voice mail function unit 102, and the key telephone 4 is an LCD display 401.
And a handset 402. Voice mail function unit 1
02 has a function to record calls and answering machines like an answering machine, answering an incoming call instead of the called side telephone, sending a prepared message, and calling from the calling side. It is a device that can record a case and then reproduce the recorded content. Therefore, the voice mail function unit 102 may be inside the main device 1A, or may be a unit outside the main device 1A and connected to the main device 1A. In this embodiment, an example in which the voice mail function unit 102 is provided in the main device 1A is shown.

In this embodiment, the cordless telephone 3
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2A, when an incoming call is made from the calling button telephone 4 or the office line 5 (S ₁₁ ), the main unit 1A
Searches the location registration information storage unit 101 and confirms the presence or absence of location registration information of the corresponding cordless telephone 3 (S ₁₂ ). If the position registration information is present, performs control for transition to the call state (S _13). If there is no location registration information is connected to the voice mail function unit 102 (S _14), Record requirements (S _15). After this, cordless telephone 3
When (handset) has performed the location registration as shown in FIG. 2 (b) (S _21), whether the voice mail storage of call to be notified based on the storage result of the position registration information storage unit 101 exists Search by function unit _{102 (S 22, S 23)} .

If there is a message that the other party wants to convey to the cordless telephone 3, the message is recorded and the call is ended. At this time, the fact that there is an incoming call without recording the message is stored in the voice mail function unit 102.

Thereafter, the cordless telephone 3 is powered by its power source S.
When the position is registered in the position registration information storage unit 101 of the main device 1A (S ₂₁ ), as shown in FIG. apparatus 1A searches whether there is stored or requirements of a call to be notified to the cordless telephone 3 corresponding to the original storage result of the position registration information storage unit 101 to the voice mail function unit 102 (S ₂₂₎ If it exists (S ₂₃ ), the voice mail function unit 102 is controlled to call the corresponding cordless telephone 3 (S ₂₅ ), and if the cordless telephone 3 answers, the fact that there is a call or the message is reproduced and notified. to (S _26). As described above, when the user can use the cordless telephone 3 that was once unusable in the present embodiment, even if the call is made while the cordless telephone 3 is in the unusable state, that is, from the key telephone 4, Even when a call is made from the central office side, the call is detected in the same manner and automatically replayed, so that the user does not need to take any special operation and miss the important call content. Can be prevented.

[0012]
