The switching unit 41 has a terminal A connected to AUD2, and a terminal B connected to the PHP through the earphone terminal 11.
1, ERP3 is connected to the C terminal through SW5.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
This will be described with reference to FIG.

Normally, in the switching section 41, the terminals A and C are connected, and the AUD2 is set to the reproduction mode, and the audio signal a from the AUD2 is output to the ERP3 through the switching section 41 and SW5. (Step S301).

In this state, when there is an incoming call to PHP 1 (step S302), a ringtone is input from earphone terminal 11 to switching section 41, and switching section 41 transmits the input of the ringtone to control section 42.

In the control section 42, the control signal c is supplied to the switching section 41.
To switch the connection between the C terminal and the A terminal to the connection between the C terminal and the B terminal, stop the operation of the AUD2 and stop the audio signal (music) a (step S
303), earphone terminal 11, switching section 41 (terminal B → C)
Then, PHP1 is connected to ERP3 through the terminal SW5 and SW5 (step S304).

Thus, the user listens to the ring tone output from the ERP 3 (step S305) and turns on the "call switch" of SW5 (Y in step S306).
ES), PHP using microphone of SW5 and ERP3
The first user can start a call with the caller using the call voice v (step S307).

When this call is completed (step S30)
8) When the user turns off the "call switch" (step S309), the control unit 42 detects this switch-off through the switching unit 41 and sends a control signal c to the switching unit 41 to switch between the C terminal and the A terminal. AUD by connecting
2 and ERP3 are connected (step S31)
0). Then, the output of the audio signal a from the ERP3 is restarted, and the process returns to step S301.

If the user does not turn on the "call switch" within a predetermined time after outputting the ring tone to ERP3 in step S305 (NO in step S306), or the user cannot respond to the incoming call to PHP1 (Step S311), the control unit 42
1, while transmitting an announcement to the caller from PHP 1 through earphone terminal 11 (step S

[0030]

As described above, the present invention relates to a portable telephone connection device for connecting a portable audio device to the earphone of a portable telephone so as to be able to output a reproduced sound. By providing control means for controlling the output of the ring tone to the earphone in preference to the playback sound when an incoming call is received, and a switching means for switching the connection with the earphone from the mobile phone to the portable audio device. The control means instructs the switching means to change the connection when there is an incoming call to the portable telephone during the sound reproduction by the portable audio device, and further connects the portable telephone and the portable audio device with the earphone through the changeover switch with microphone. Connected and the control means is an earphone A switching unit for switching the connection from the mobile phone to the portable audio device; and a control unit for sending a predetermined control signal to the switching unit and instructing the connection to be switched. The control unit instructs the switching unit when the user turns on the call switch within a predetermined time after receiving an incoming call to the mobile phone during voice reproduction on the portable audio device, and switches between the mobile phone and the earphone. By making the connection and enabling the call between the user and the caller, and when the call between the user and the caller ends and the user turns off the call switch, the control unit detects this. By instructing the switching unit to return to the connection between the earphone and the portable audio device, The device has a recording function, and the control unit instructs the switching unit to instruct the switching unit when the user does not turn on the call switch within a predetermined time after receiving an incoming call to the mobile phone during voice reproduction by the portable audio device. By connecting the telephone and the portable audio device so that the voice message from the caller can be recorded, and when the recording of the voice message from the caller is completed, the fact is notified by an instruction of the control unit. By providing a display unit for displaying, and when the recording of the voice message from the caller is completed, the control unit detects this and instructs the switching unit to return to the connection between the earphone and the portable audio device. This allows existing mobile phones and portable audio devices to be directly connected to mobile phone connection devices and used. This makes it unnecessary to use a mobile phone device having a built-in audio device.

Further, since the portable telephone and the portable audio device use different power supplies, there is an effect that the talk time and the music listening time can be secured longer than those of the common power supply.

Further, when the portable telephone cannot respond to the incoming call to the portable telephone, the voice message of the caller can be recorded on the portable audio device.
