BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A cordless telephone system for a hospital facility of the present invention is a line control device for communication connection with a plurality of extension terminals in a hospital facility, a line control device connected with the line control device, and a plurality of cordless telephones and a radio. A cordless telephone system for a hospital facility having a main device to be connected, wherein the line control device converts the identification number of the calling extension terminal into a PB signal and a PB signal converting device. And a PB signal transmitting means for transmitting to
The main device includes a display information converting unit that converts the PB signal from the PB signal transmitting unit into display information and a display information transmitting unit that transmits the display information to a predetermined cordless telephone. A display means for displaying the display information from the display information transmitting means and a response means for responding to a call from an extension terminal which is a caller of the display information in response to a predetermined operation.

The extension terminal corresponds to, for example, a bed slave assigned to a patient in a hospital room, and the line control device corresponds to, for example, a terminal on the nurse center side. The telephone is assumed to be carried by a nurse, for example.

The line control device manages identification numbers related to the extension terminals, for example, hospital room numbers and bed numbers, and when the extension terminal receives a call, that is, a nurse call, the extension The identification number of the terminal is known.

Therefore, according to the above cordless telephone system for hospital facilities, the line control device recognizes the identification number of the calling extension terminal in response to the call from the extension terminal by the patient, that is, the nurse call. The identification number is converted into a PB signal, and this PB signal is transmitted to the main device by diverting the dial-in incoming sequence, and the main device transmits the PB signal.
The signal is converted into an identification number, this identification number is transmitted to a predetermined cordless telephone carried by the nurse, and the display means of this cordless telephone displays an incoming call at the identification number of the extension terminal of the calling source, Since the call from this extension terminal can be answered in response to the predetermined operation of the nurse of this cordless telephone, the nurse does not have to wait at the place where the line control device is installed, It is possible to promptly respond to a nurse call from the patient and, in the strongest case, the patient can receive appropriate and prompt nursing care.

An embodiment of a cordless telephone system for hospital facilities according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a cordless telephone system for hospital facilities of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, the cordless telephone system for a hospital facility has a bed cordless handset 1 assigned to a patient or the like, a nurse call control device 2 installed in a nurse center while being communicatively connected to the bed cordless handset 1. A cordless telephone 3 carried by a nurse or the like, and this cordless telephone 3
A wireless connection device 4 wirelessly connected to the wireless connection device 4 and the wireless connection device 4
And a system cordless main unit (hereinafter, simply referred to as main unit) 5 that accommodates. The cordless telephone 3 has a display function such as an LCD for displaying various information.

The nurse call control device 2 recognizes the function of managing the bed number, which is the identification number of the bed slave unit 1, for example, and the bed number related to which bed slave unit 1 has received the call. And a line control unit 6 for communication connection with the main device 5 and the like.

The line control unit 6 has a function of converting the bed number of the bed slave unit 1 that received the call to a PB signal, and a function of supplying the PB signal to the main unit 5. .
