2. Description of the Related Art Extension terminals (telephones) in button telephones are mainly connected by wires (see FIG. 7).

In recent years, the spread of wireless telephone devices has led to the introduction of wireless button telephone devices in which the extension terminals are made wireless as well.

Unlike the wireless button telephone apparatus, the wired button telephone apparatus has a call channel and a control channel on one physical line, and the state of the extension terminal in the wired button telephone apparatus changes from that of the extension terminal. Each time
It was sent to the main unit each time using the control channel.

Further, there is a budget management transmission regulation service as a service for setting budget information regarding a call charge for each extension terminal and stopping transmission when the accumulated charge regarding the call charge reaches the budget. Therefore, in the key telephone device that provides the budget control transmission control service, the main device determines whether or not the extension terminal is subject to the transmission control by the budget control when making a call from the extension terminal.

In order to know the state of the extension terminal in the radio key telephone apparatus, communication is once established with the connection apparatus through the control channel on the radio line, and the extension terminal of the main apparatus is subject to budget management and transmission control. It was determined whether or not to send, and data was sent to the call channel to urge the cancellation of the call.

FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram between the main device-connecting device-telephone in the case where the main device of the wireless button telephone device makes a call under the budget management transmission restriction in the conventional example.

In the telephone 105, first, the budget related to the call notified from the connection device 104 at the time of initial setting is stored in the budget area 115, and the accumulated charge related to the call sent from the connection device 104 at the end of the call is added to the accumulated charge area 1.
16 are stored. When the dial button 114 inputs the dial in the standby state (S401), the control unit 106 monitors the press of the call button 112 while sequentially storing the input dial in the preset dial area 117 (S403). Call button 1
When the press of 12 is detected, it is determined whether the call is an outside line (S400). This determination can be made based on whether or not the No. 0 call is made. In the case of an outside line, the contents of the budget area 115 and the contents of the accumulated charge area 116 are compared (S404).
In this comparison, when the content of the accumulated charge area 116 is larger than the content of the budget area 115, it is determined that the call is restricted. For example, if the content of the accumulated charge area 116 is “1005
When the content of the budget area 115 is “0” and is “10000” as shown in FIG. 3A, the content of the accumulated charge area 116 is larger than the content of the budget area 115, and thus it is determined that the call is restricted. If the content of the accumulated charge area 116 is “9600” as shown in FIG. 3B, the accumulated charge area 1
Since the content of 16 is smaller than the content of the budget area 115, it is determined that the transmission is not regulated.
