Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable operation of household electrical appliances in telephone circuit from the outside of the home by providing a telephone terminal with a decision function even when there is no telephone receiver, and connecting such home electric appliances to the telephone terminal. CONSTITUTION:A telephone terminal 10 is equipped with an old function 11 and new function 12, and a change-over switch 30 changes a telephone circuit 1 over new and old functions 11 and 12. The new function 12 is connected to a home electric appliance group 21 and an old circuit 9. The device hears a tone from the circuit 1 under the condition shown in the figure, and gives a calling condition by connecting the circuit, and listens to a name of a calling party. When the device has decided that a person is not suited for connecting with the home line, the device disconnects the line by telling the calling party that the resident is out. When the device has decided that a person is a right person to be connected with the home line, the device receives instructions to the electric appliances, and transmits signals to the appliances desired by the calling party. After completion of signal transmission, the device disconnects the line unless it finds other commands on the transmitting side.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (1) Explanation of the technical field to which the invention pertains The present invention relates to the configuration of a telephone terminal.

(2) Description of the Prior Art Conventionally, this type of telephone terminal did not have a decision function, so it could only make simple responses to calls from outside. For example, the line to the caller cannot be established without the mechanical action of hanging up the receiver, or the caller can only receive a simple answer, such as with an answering machine.

In such a function, the telephone line is connected to a receiver (hereinafter referred to as the receiver) who performs the mechanical action of lifting the handset.
The drawback was that it would be useless without it.

In particular, in an era when homes have been electrified due to the introduction of home electronics, it has become very convenient to be able to control home appliances from outside via telephone lines, and the above drawbacks are almost fatal. Demeru.

(3) Detailed Description of the Invention The present invention provides a telephone terminal with a judgment function even when there is no one on the other end of the line, and connects household electrical appliances to the telephone terminal. The present invention provides a telephone terminal that enables the operation of electrical appliances in the home.

(4) Structure of the Invention The present invention has a connection part between a telephone line, a switch for switching between new and old functions, and a home appliance group line that connects the new function, and the new function can be used even when there is no receiver. The system connects and disconnects lines, recognizes the voice of the caller, responds to the caller by voice, deciphers commands from the caller, and sends signals to household electrical appliances. , to the telephone line.

It made it possible to control household electrical appliances.

(5) Explanation of the principle and operation of the invention The present invention is applicable to cases where a telephone terminal is used for the purpose of dialogue with a calling party, as in the past, and to a telephone terminal. A switch is provided to separate when using the new function operation.
By establishing a signal connection between the telephone terminal and the electrical appliances in the home, the electrical appliances in the household can be controlled from outside using the telephone line.

(6) Detailed description of this invention Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, a telephone terminal 10 connected to telephone port #1 by a connecting part 2 has an old function 11 and a new function 12.
Changeover switch 30 allows you to select telephone line 1, new function 1, and old function 1.
1.12. In FIG. 1, the changeover switch 30 is connected to the old function 11 side. Changeover switch 3
If 0 is connected to new function 12, telephone line 1 is connected to new function 1.
Connected to 2. Further, the new function 12 is connected to a household electrical appliance group 21 and a line 9 through a connection section 8. The domestic electrical appliance group 21 is composed of electrical appliances 17, 18, and 19, 20. According to FIG. 1, the telephone line 1 has a changeover switch 30 connected to the new function 12 side, and the new function 12 understands and judges commands sent through the telephone line 1, and performs a series of operations in accordance with the commands. If done, the electrical products 17, 18, 19, 20 included in the household electrical products section 21
It becomes possible to control.

Figure 2 shows an example of the series of operations that the new function should perform.
It is in W CHART format. First, 100 listens to the 9 tone sent from the line, and 101 calls 91.
Connect the line and make a call. 102 inputs the name of the person who is calling, and 103 determines whether or not to connect to the home line. If it is determined that the person is not allowed to connect to the home line, call 104 to tell the calling party to stay, and call 105 to disconnect the multiple lines.

If it is judged that the person is suitable to connect to the home line, the command to the electrical appliance is heard through 106, and the signal is transmitted to the stain product through 107.As an example of this case, for example, the electrical appliance 17 in FIG. In the case of an electric rice cooker, if the sender requests to turn on the electric rice cooker, the sender will send out a command to turn on the electric rice cooker as a signal. Of course, it goes without saying that the electric rice cooker is also equipped with a function that turns on the switch according to the command. When the signal transmission by step 107 is completed, step 108 asks the transmitting side if there are any other commands, and the process returns to step 106. If not, disconnect the line using 105.

It can be seen that the FLOW CHART shown in FIG. 2 allows the sender to use the telephone line and control electrical appliances in the home using the new functions of the telephone terminal.

In order for the new function to perform the functions shown in Figure 2, the following points are required: (1) One line connection.

e): Speaker's voice recognition (3): Voice response to the caller.

(4): Sends a signal to the electrical appliance and receives the signal if necessary; (5) Disconnects the two lines.

(7) Detailed Description of the Invention One of the present invention is as described above.
By adding the function 12 to a conventional telephone terminal, there is an effect that the calling party can freely control popular products in the home even when there is no one on the receiving end.

[Brief Description of the Drawings] Fig. 1 shows the functional configuration of the telephone terminal of the present invention, and Fig. 2 shows an example of a series of operations performed by the new functions of the present invention.
