DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a network transmission / reception control unit, which is a computer communication device such as a telephone line. Line connection part 2 with line P leading to the network
It has. Here, the network transmission / reception control unit 1 and the line connection unit 2 include, for example, a conventionally known network transmission / reception control device, an analog line, and an ISDN.
A line connection device for connecting to a line can be used as appropriate.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a signal analysis unit which is connected to the network transmission / reception control unit 1 and a switch unit 4 to be described later. The type of the communication information received by the network transmission / reception control unit 1, for example, a voice telephone, This is for determining electronic mail, facsimile, and the like. Here, the type is determined by an information identification signal transmitted together with the call signal from the network, and the information identification signal is a gap in a silent state between ringing sounds of the call signal. In addition, it is advantageous to transmit by a type code, and the type code is, for example, the main control means (CP
It is better to determine the type by analyzing with U) and a digital circuit.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a switch, which is connected to the signal analyzer 3 and the network transmission / reception controller 1, and for communication information determined by the signal analyzer 3, each communication terminal device corresponding to the type. While switching the connection with the line P to 6a, 6b, 6c, each of the communication terminal devices 6a, 6
The communication information transmitted by b and 6c is connected to the line P via the network transmission / reception control unit 1 described above. The switch unit 4 includes a plurality of closet units 5a, 5b, and 5c for connecting to respective communication terminal devices such as a telephone 6a, a personal computer 6b, and a facsimile 6c.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a type display section for incoming information, which is connected to the signal analysis section 3 and displays the type of information determined as a result of the signal analysis section 3, for example, the type of voice telephone, electronic mail, facsimile, etc. It is displayed to notify the information receiver of the arrival of the information. Here, the display means may be of any type, such as light, sound, text, etc., but for example, light-emitting diodes 7a, 7b, 7c corresponding to the information type may be mentioned as simple ones.

Incidentally, the apparatus of the present invention according to the above-described embodiment has an appearance as shown in FIG. 2 when housed and set in a box body, for example.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a switch unit 4 is replaced with a plurality of closet units for each communication terminal device, and a plurality of communication terminal devices 6a, 6b, 6
c is the same as the first embodiment except that it has a rosette unit 5 for connecting a local area network (LAN) connecting the device c and the present invention device, and the present invention according to such an embodiment. The device has the appearance as shown in FIG. 4 when stored and set in a box body, for example.

[0011]

As shown in FIG. 5, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, if a plurality of communication terminal devices and the network are connected at the same time, the user determines the type of information transmitted by the device of the present invention. However, since the corresponding communication terminal devices are automatically separated and connected, there is no need to prepare a plurality of lines according to the type of information as in the related art, and various types of information can be mutually communicated on one line. it can.

In particular, if an information type display section is further provided,
Since the user can be notified of the arrival of information, the user does not need to always activate the communication terminal device, and activates the terminal device only when information arrives, and stores the information on the network side. Information that can be retrieved. In addition, even when the user is absent, it is not necessary to start the terminal device to access the network when the user is absent, and the information can be confirmed by viewing the type display unit.
