The telephone according to the present invention can be used as a "caller telephone number sending service" or DT
It uses MF signals.

[Caller telephone number sending service]
At present, some telephone companies in the United States and Canada are doing it, and are preparing for implementation in Japan.

This service provides, for example, the caller's telephone number from the telephone exchange to the receiving side telephone, and at the communication speed of 1200 bits per second during the pause time of the first and second ringing tones, The number, time, and sender's name are sent at the same time. If you use that data,
By displaying the name of the caller on the display unit of the telephone, the caller can be known before answering the call.

The DTMF signal is a specific tone signal transmitted by the caller after the receiver responds to the incoming call, and the codebook is shared by the caller and the receiver, and the receiver receives the DTMF signal.
Information can be transmitted and controlled by decoding the signal.

In order to use such external incoming call data, the telephone of the present invention automatically receives the incoming call from a specific caller for the first time and automatically switches the caller to a specific handset when the call is switched to a specific handset. The identification information and the identification information of the child device are encoded and registered in the registration unit. Then, when receiving incoming data from a specific sender for the second time and thereafter, it is verified whether or not the sender is a partner registered in the registration unit. Then, if it is a telephone call from the registered partner, the ring tone data is sent to the slave unit so that the corresponding slave unit sounds. Then, it is controlled so that only the slave unit that receives the ring tone data performs the calling operation.

When a call is transmitted from a specific slave unit, the master unit encodes the partner information and the slave unit operation information of the slave unit and registers them in the registration unit. After that, when a call is received from a specific partner side, a specific child device is automatically selected.
