Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a telephone system that changes a call tone of a cordless terminal, in response to an incoming call signal pattern. SOLUTION: A pattern of an incoming signal received by a master set (S-1), ring patterns (1)-(3) corresponding to the detected incoming call signal patterns (1)-(3) are specified for designating the incoming call to PHS terminals (S-2, S-3, S-4). Through this configuration, a cordless terminal changes a ring pattern depending on the difference from the pattern of the incoming call signal to the master set and the system corresponds to 'service having provision for various ring tones depending on callers' that distinguishes the callers.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a telephone device,
The present invention relates to a telephone device including a base unit connected to a telephone line having a plurality of incoming signal patterns and a cordless terminal cordlessly connected to the base unit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A service for calling an incoming call of a telephone number registered in advance with a call signal different from the usual one is implemented as a so-called "ringing service". If you use this "ringing service", when a call is received from the other party with a pre-registered phone number, it will be called with a different ringing tone. It can be determined that the call is from the other party of the number.

On the other hand, in a cordless telephone device using a personal handy phone system terminal (hereinafter, referred to as a PHS terminal) as a cordless terminal, a base unit (hereinafter, PHS) of the cordless telephone device connected to the PSTN line is used.
When the master unit receives the Ci signal from the line, the PHS
The terminal is notified of the arrival of the incoming signal as digital data, and a ringing tone is generated from a built-in sound source of the PHS terminal in a ringing pattern specified by the operator in advance, and the operator is notified.

[0004]

However, in the conventional cordless telephone device, the ring tone of the PHS terminal is:
The ring tone of the PHS terminal cannot be changed due to the difference in the Ci signal pattern from the exchange of the PSTN network because the ring tone is set by the ring tone specified in the sound source built in the PHS terminal.

[0005] For this reason, a specific caller is referred to as a "ringing service".
Even if a PHS terminal is used to make a call to the PHS, the PHS terminal cannot distinguish the ringing tone due to the difference in the Ci signal pattern, so it is determined whether or not the registered caller is a specific caller. I couldn't do that. That is,
The conventional cordless terminal has a problem that it cannot cope with the "ringing service". Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a telephone device that can change the ringing tone of a cordless terminal according to an incoming signal pattern.

[0006]

In order to solve the above problem, the present invention provides a telephone apparatus having a cordless terminal connected to a base unit capable of receiving a plurality of incoming signal patterns. The present invention employs a configuration having means for detecting an incoming signal pattern and means for designating a ringing pattern corresponding to the detected incoming signal pattern and instructing the cordless terminal to receive an incoming call.

[0007] According to this configuration, a cordless terminal (PHS terminal) is used in accordance with the difference in the pattern of the incoming signal to the base unit.
Can also change the ringing pattern, and can correspond to the "ringing service" that distinguishes callers.

[0008] Further, since the ringing pattern is instructed simultaneously with the calling of the cordless terminal, the cordless terminal can promptly call the operator with a ringing pattern for distinguishing the caller.

Next, the operation when an incoming call is received by the above-mentioned telephone device will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, when an incoming call arrives at the telephone device, the Ci pattern detecting section 13 detects a Ci pattern (an incoming signal pattern) from the PSTN network in step S-1.
Then, the Ci pattern is a pattern (1), (2),
Judge whether any of (3) is applicable.

When it is determined that the pattern is the Ci pattern (1),
In step S-2, a call setup message (SETUP) defined by STD-28 is transmitted to the calling PHS terminal. This signal contains various information such as a call number and transmission capability.
At the same time, the call-on pattern (1) of the PHS terminal is specified in octet 3 of the information element called signal included in the call setup message. Accordingly, the terminal is instructed to receive a call in the ringing pattern (1) corresponding to the call-on pattern (1), and the called PHS terminal rings in the ringing pattern (1) in step S-5.

On the other hand, if it is the Ci pattern (2), the process goes to step S-3 to specify the call-on pattern (2) in the octet 3 of the signal. Thereby PH
The S terminal is instructed to receive a call by a ringing pattern (2) corresponding to the call-on pattern (2), and the called PHS
The terminal rings in step S-5 according to the ringing pattern (2).

If it is the Ci pattern (3), the process goes to step S-4 to specify the calling-on pattern (3) in the octet 3 of the signal. Thereby PH
The S terminal is instructed to receive a call by a ringing pattern (3) corresponding to the call-on pattern (3), and the called PHS
The terminal rings in step S-5 according to the ringing pattern (3).

Next, the response of the PHS terminal called in steps S-6 and S-9 and the master unit is detected. Step S-6
If there is a response from the PHS terminal, the flow shifts to step S-7 to stop ringing and calling of the master unit.
At -8, a telephone line is connected to the responding PHS terminal.

On the other hand, if there is no confirmation of the response at the PHS terminal in step S-6, the process proceeds to step S-9,
It is determined whether a response has been received from the master unit. If there is a response to the master unit, the process proceeds to step S-10, instructing the ringing PHS terminal to stop ringing, and furthermore, step S-11.
Use to connect the line to the handset of the master unit.

If there is no response from the master unit in step S-9, the process returns to step S-6, and the same operation is repeated.

[0034]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, an incoming signal pattern arriving at the master unit is detected, and a ringing pattern corresponding to the detected incoming signal pattern is designated to the cordless terminal. Since the incoming call is instructed, the cordless terminal can also change the ringing pattern according to the difference in the pattern of the incoming signal to the base unit, making it possible to respond to the `` ringing service '' that distinguishes the caller it can.

Further, since the sounding pattern is instructed simultaneously with the calling of the cordless terminal, the cordless terminal can quickly call the operator with the sounding pattern for distinguishing the caller.
