Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial field of application) The present invention has a clock, and when a preset time is reached,
The present invention relates to a telephone with a clock that generates a hold tone.

(Summary of the Invention) The present invention is a clock-equipped telephone having a clock and having a speaker generate a holding sound at a preset time, when the preset time is reached when a telephone line is held, Also, when the telephone line is put on hold at the preset time, the hold sound with the audible sound superimposed is generated from the speaker, so that the preset time comes regardless of the usage state of the telephone. This is so that it can be surely notified of what has been done.

(Prior Art) With this type of telephone generally used conventionally, a desired time can be set in advance in order to make a call to a predetermined party at a desired time. If it becomes, hold music will be generated from the speaker,
The user was informed that the set time had come.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in the above conventional telephone, when the set time arrives in the hold state, the sound notifying that the set time has come is the same as the hold sound. However, there is a drawback that the user cannot be notified that the set time has come.

(Means for Solving the Problem) The present invention is a telephone with a clock, which has a clock and causes a speaker to generate a holding sound at a preset time, and holds the telephone line to hold the telephone line and the above. A holding means for transmitting the holding sound to the speaker, an audible sound generating means for generating an audible sound different from the holding sound at a preset time, and a audible sound generated by the audible sound generating means for making a telephone call by the holding means. A control means for transmitting to the speaker when the line is on hold is provided, and the control means controls the audible sound generated by the audible sound generation means when a preset time is reached when the telephone line is held by the hold means. When the telephone line is held by the holding means at the time of occurrence, the holding sound and the audible sound are superposed on the speaker.

(Operation) Therefore, when the telephone line is put on hold by the holding means,
When the control unit sends out an audible sound generated by the audible sound generating unit to the speaker, when the preset time comes in the holding state of the telephone line by the holding unit,
When the telephone line is put on hold by the holding means at a preset time, the speaker can generate a hold sound on which an audible sound is superimposed.

Embodiment Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail according to an embodiment shown in the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is an exchange (not shown) in the central office.
A telephone line connected to the telephone line, 2 is a hook switch for forming a DC loop with the exchange during a call, 3 is a rectifying circuit for making the polarity of the DC power supplied from the telephone line 1 constant, 4 is a microphone and Handset with built-in speaker,
Reference numeral 5 is a communication circuit provided between the telephone line 1 and the handset 4 for setting the level of transmission / reception, 6 is a reception amplifier for amplifying a reception signal, and 7 is a reception amplifier amplified by the reception amplifier 6. It is a speaker that converts a signal into voice, and a telephone call is performed by each of the above units.

Further, 8 is a power supply circuit for supplying DC power supplied from the telephone line 1 to each part, 9 is a built-in power supply for driving each part when on-hook, 10 is a power supply switching circuit for turning on / off the built-in power supply 9, The telephone is driven by the above units.

Further, 11 is a hold button for setting a hold state, 12 is a hold sound output circuit for generating a hold sound at the time of hold, and 13 is a microcomputer (to be abbreviated as a microcomputer hereinafter) described later.
A beep sound switching circuit that turns on and off the beep sound sent from 14, 15 is a hold control circuit that controls the operation of the hold sound output circuit 12 and the like by the operation of the hold button 11, and at the time of holding by each of the above parts. , Send a beep sound.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a microcomputer that controls each of the above parts, and has a time counter 140 that measures the current time and a memory 141 that stores the set time. The time counter 140 and the memory 14
In 1 the current time and the set time are set by the time setting key 16.

In the microcomputer 14, the time counter 140
Also provided are comparison means 142 for comparing the contents of the memory 141 to detect that the set time has come, and a melody generator 143 for generating a beep sound when the set time arrives.

Next, the operation of the telephone configured as described above will be described.

First, when the handset 4 is lifted during a normal outgoing call or incoming call, the hook switch 2 is closed, DC power is applied from the telephone line 1 to the power circuit 8 through the rectifier circuit 3, and each unit is driven to make a call. The receiver amplifier 6 is driven by operating a receiver loudspeaker button (not shown) as necessary, and the receiver 7 can emit the receiver signal sent from the telephone line 1. It is like this.

Then, when you want to wait for the other party during a call, hold button
When 11 is operated, the hold control circuit 15 drives the hold sound output circuit 12, the reception amplifier 6, and the beep sound switching circuit 13 to output the hold sound to the telephone line 1 through the call circuit 5 and receive the call. Sound is emitted from the speaker 7 via the amplifier 6.

At this time, the beep sound switching circuit 13 is also turned on, but since the set time has not come and the melody generator 143 in the microcomputer 14 is not operating, the beep sound is not transmitted.

After that, when the preset time at the time of holding becomes the current time counted by the time counter 140 and the set time stored in the memory 141 match, a signal is output from the comparison circuit 142 to the melody generator 143, which causes the melody generator 143 to operate. When turned on, the beep sound is superimposed on the hold sound and emitted from the speaker 7.

Next, the operation when the hold sound is generated at the preset time will be explained.
When the current time counted at 0 and the set time stored in the memory 141 match, a signal is output from the comparison circuit 142 to the power supply switching circuit 10, the hold sound output circuit 12, the reception amplifier 6 and the melody generator 143, and the built-in power supply is provided. The receiving amplifier 6 and the like are driven by 9 and the hold sound output circuit
From 12, a holding sound is emitted from the speaker 7 via the receiving amplifier 6.

At this time, the melody generator 143 is also driven, but since the hold button 11 is not operated and the beep sound switching circuit 13 is turned off by the hold control circuit 15, no beep sound is sent out.

If the user operates the hold button 11 to hold the call with the other party when the hold time is output from the speaker 7 at the time set during the call, the hold sound control circuit 15 causes the beep sound switching circuit to operate. When 13 is turned on, the beep sound generated by the melody generator 143 in the microcomputer 14 is input to the reception amplifier 6 and superimposed on the hold sound to generate the beep sound.

Therefore, in the telephone according to the above-described embodiment, when the preset time arrives, the user can be surely notified regardless of the usage state of the telephone.

(Effect) As described above, the present invention puts the telephone line on hold at the time when the preset time comes in the hold state of the telephone line or when the hold sound is generated from the speaker at the preset time. At this time, by superimposing the audible sound on the hold sound generated from the speaker, the user can be surely notified that the set time has arrived, regardless of the usage state of the telephone.
