Reference numeral 15 is a call state detecting section for detecting whether or not the call state is established. The call state is detected by, for example, whether or not it is off-hook, or whether or not the line is connected. Reference numeral 16 is a control circuit for controlling each part of the telephone, which includes a CPU, ROM, RA (not shown).
It is configured to have M and an interface. ROM
A program for controlling the CPU is written in. RAM is used in the operation of the CPU.

In particular, the control circuit 16 includes the set time detection unit 14
When the coincidence signal output from is input, the call state detection unit 15 is caused to determine whether or not a call is in progress. If the result of this determination is that a call is in progress, the alarm sending unit 9 is controlled to output an alarm signal, and the speaker 10 issues an alarm. Immediately after the control of the alarm sending unit 9 is started, the timer 9 controls the output interval of the alarm signal. Reference numeral 17 is a display unit that displays the current time, call time, call charge, etc.
The reservation time according to the present invention is also displayed.

The numeric keypad section 7, the reservation time setting section 13 and the control circuit 16 constitute a reservation time setting means 100. Further, the set time detection unit 14 corresponds to the determination means. Further, the alarm sending unit 9, the speaker 10 and the control circuit 16 constitute an informing means 110.

The operation of this structure will be described with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG. First, the control circuit 16 determines whether the reservation time is set in the reservation time setting unit 13 in step S1. That is, it is determined whether or not the reservation time is input from the ten-key unit 7. When it is determined that the reservation time is input, the reservation time is set in step S2 by the set time detection unit 14
To set. That is, the control circuit 16 supplies a ten-key input to the reservation time setting unit 13 and causes the set time detection unit 14 to set the reservation time based on the input.

When the setting of the reserved time in the set time detecting unit 14 is completed, the normal incoming call waiting state in step S3 is set,
Next, in step S4, it is determined whether or not it is the reserved time. That is, it is determined whether the current time and the reserved time match. If they do not match, the process returns to step S3, and if they match, the process proceeds to step S5.

In step S5, it is determined whether or not a call is in progress. That is, the control circuit 16 includes the call state detection unit 1
The output of No. 5 is taken in, and if this output indicates a call state, it is determined that a call is in progress, and an alarm is generated in step S6. That is, the control circuit 16 controls the alarm sending unit 9 to output an alarm signal. As a result, an alarm is issued from the speaker 10.

After controlling the alarm sending unit 9, the control circuit 16 determines in step S7 whether or not the call is continuing. If the call is ongoing, proceed to step S8,
It is determined whether or not it is a preset alarm generation cycle, and if it is determined to be the alarm generation cycle, the process returns to step S6 to generate an alarm. That is, steps S6 to S8 are repeated until the call ends. When it is determined that the call is completed, the steps S7 to S
Go to 9 and cancel the reservation setting. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S5 that the call is not in progress at the reserved time, the process directly proceeds to step S9 to cancel the reservation setting.

In the first embodiment described above, an alarm is issued if a call is in progress at the reserved time. However, the content indicating that a reservation is made is displayed on the display unit 17 such as a liquid crystal display. May be performed. Further, instead of the warning, a voice message may be used to notify the user of the reservation.

Example 2. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a second embodiment of the telephone according to the present invention. In this figure, the same parts as those in FIG. 1 described above are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. In FIG. 3, the numeric keypad 7 is a telephone number,
In addition to the reservation time, enter the personal identification number and the call prohibition time. Reference numeral 18 denotes a personal identification number / prohibition time for calling, which sets an individual personal identification number for canceling prohibition of calling and a time for prohibiting calling.

The timer 10 counts the transmission prohibition time.
The control circuit 16 controls each unit of the telephone, and in particular, when the coincidence signal output from the set time detection unit 14 is input, the call is prohibited during the call prohibition time set in the personal identification number / call prohibition time setting unit 18. Then, when the personal identification number set in the personal identification number / transmission prohibition time setting unit 18 is input from the ten-key unit 7 during the transmission prohibition period, the prohibition of the transmission is released. The display unit 17 displays the current time, the call time, the call charge, and the like, and also displays the reserved time and the call prohibition time according to the present invention, and displays that the call prohibition time is in progress.

The ten-key unit 7, the reservation time setting unit 13 and the control circuit 16 constitute a reservation time setting means 120. The personal identification number / prohibition time setting section 18 corresponds to individual information setting means and transmission prohibition time setting means. Further, the set time detection unit 14 and the control circuit 16 constitute the transmission prohibiting means 130. Further, the control circuit 16 corresponds to the transmission prohibition canceling means.

The operation of this structure will be described with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG. First, in step S20, the control circuit 16 sets a personal identification number. That is, the personal identification number / prohibition time setting unit 18 is caused to set the personal identification number input from the ten-key unit 7. Next, in step S21, the reservation time is set. That is, the reservation time setting unit 13 is caused to set the reservation time input from the ten-key unit 7.

After the reservation time is set, a call prohibition time (for example, 10 minutes) is set in step S22. That is, the personal identification number / calling prohibition time setting unit 18 is caused to set the calling prohibition time input from the ten-key unit 7. After setting the outgoing call prohibition time, the control circuit 16 waits for a normal incoming call in step S23. Then, in step S24, it is determined whether or not it is the reserved time. If it is not the reserved time, the process returns to step S23,
Wait for an incoming call. If it is the reserved time, the timer 11 is started in step S25, and the transmission prohibited time is counted.

After the timer 11 is started, the outgoing call prohibit mode is set in step S26. Here, the outgoing call prohibition mode is a mode in which only outgoing call processing is prohibited and other processing (such as incoming call processing) is performed as usual. After setting the outgoing call prohibition mode, it is determined in step S27 whether or not the personal identification number is input. In this determination, if the personal identification number is not input, it is determined in step S28 whether the time is up. That is, it is determined whether the call prohibition time has elapsed. If the call prohibition time has not elapsed, the process returns to step S27, and if the call prohibition time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S29.

On the other hand, when it is determined in the above-described step S27 that the personal identification number is input, the process proceeds to step S29. When the process proceeds to step S29, the setting of the transmission prohibition mode is canceled. That is, the normal call can be made. Next, in step S30, the setting of the personal identification number, the reserved time, and the transmission prohibition time are canceled.

In the above embodiment, the personal identification number, the reservation time and the call prohibition time are set together.
In addition, the following patterns may be mentioned. a. The password and the call prohibition time are set in advance, and the reservation time is set later (invalid when multiple people make a reservation). b. The outgoing call prohibition time is set in advance, and later the reserved time and the personal identification number are set. c. The password is set in advance, and later the reservation time and the call prohibition time are set (invalid if multiple people make reservations).

On the other hand, instead of setting the call prohibition time, the call prohibition end time may be set together with the reserved time. In this case, the following patterns can be mentioned. d. Set the reservation time, PIN and end time for prohibiting outgoing calls together. e. The password is set in advance, and the reservation time and the dialing prohibition end time are set later (invalid when multiple people make a reservation).

In the second embodiment, the calling prohibition time is set, but the calling may be prohibited only from the reserved time to the setting of the personal identification number. In the second embodiment, the call is prohibited during the call prohibit time, but the display unit 1 indicates that the call is prohibited.
7 may be displayed, or when another person tries to make a call (when the handset is lifted), an alarm or a voice message may be used to notify that the call is prohibited.

Further, in the above embodiment, the prohibition of call origination is canceled by using the personal identification number, but in addition, the prohibition of call origination may be canceled by voice, fingerprint, bill or face.
