Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a telephone set where the time is set or corrected in a clock circuit by providing a control circuit outputting time information from a notice means and constituting a switch starting the control circuit in common use with a time setting mode changeover key switching the clock circuit to the time setting mode. CONSTITUTION:In depressing a time setting mode changeover key 4, a started control circuit 14 controls a '117' drive circuit 13 and an electronic hook switch 15 to dial a telephone number from a dial circuit 8 and to control a talking circuit 7 causing time information to be outputted from a speaker 12. In this case, the state of a touch panel face changes from the state in figure (a) into the state in figure (b), the time setting key 5 is operated while listening to time information from the speaker 12 to display the setting time on a display device 6. In depressing the time setting key 5 next, the time set newly is counted from the moment, the electronic hook switch 15 is controlled through the control circuit 14 at the same time, a call is disconnected and the state of the touch panel face is changed from the state in the figure (b) into that in the figure (a). Thus, the time setting and correction of the clock circuit 9 are facilitated.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a telephone equipped with a clock circuit.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram showing an example of a telephone equipped with a conventional clock circuit, in which 1 is a handset, 2 is a dial, and 3 is a telephone with a clock circuit.
is a sounder, 4 is a time setting mode switching key, 5 is a time setting key, 6 is a display, 7 is a telephone call circuit, 8 is a transmission circuit, 9
1 is a clock circuit, 10 is an incoming call circuit, and 11 is a hook switch.

An effective method for setting and correcting the time of the clock circuit 9 in such a telephone is to use the time signal guidance number 117. Namely.

After turning off the handset 1, use the dial 2 and the calling circuit 8 to dial a time signal guide such as 117, press the time setting mode switch key 4 to enter the time setting mode, and read the time sent via the telephone line. In this method, the time of the clock circuit 9 is set and corrected by operating the time setting key 5 while listening to information using the handset 1.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, the time setting method using the steps described above is cumbersome to operate. Telephones with built-in automatic time correction devices have also been proposed, but the circuits are complicated and the cost of the telephone increases.

This invention was made to solve these problems, and aims to provide a telephone that allows the time setting and correction of the clock circuit to be performed more easily without increasing costs. .

[Means for solving problems]

The telephone according to the present invention includes a drive circuit that causes a transmitting circuit to perform a call operation to a time signal information service, a notification means that notifies time information sent from the time signal information service, and a time signal information service that controls the drive circuit. and a control circuit that causes the clock circuit to perform a transmission operation and output time information from the notification means, and a switch that activates the control circuit is configured in common with a time setting mode switching key that switches the clock circuit to the time setting mode. It is.

[Operation] In the present invention, when the time setting mode switching key (2) is turned on, the control circuit is activated, and the control circuit controls the drive circuit to cause the transmitting circuit to transmit a time signal information service.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing an embodiment of a telephone according to the present invention, in which the same reference numerals as in FIG.
13 is an rl17J drive circuit that causes the transmitting circuit 8 to perform a transmission operation for the time signal guidance service; 14 is a control circuit that controls the rl17J drive circuit 13 to perform a transmission operation for the time signal guidance service and outputs time information from the speaker 12; 15 is an electronic hook switch.

FIGS. 2(a) and (b) show before and after pressing the time setting mode switching key 4 on a touch panel configured to integrate the dial 29 time setting mode switching key 49 time setting key 5 and display 6 in FIG. 1. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a later state.

The time setting and correcting operations of the clock circuit 9 will be described below with reference to FIG. 1 and FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b).

First, the control circuit 14 is activated by pressing the time setting mode switching key 4 (displayed by the clock picture in FIG. 2(a)). Then, the activated control circuit 14 controls the "117" drive circuit 13 and the electronic hook switch 15 to cause the transmitting circuit 8 to transmit the telephone number for the time information information service, and at the same time controls the telephone call circuit 7 to transmit time information. output from the speaker 12. At this time, the state of the touch panel surface changes from the state shown in FIG. 2(a) to FIG. Display the time (or modification time). Next, by pressing the start key of the time setting key 5, timing of the newly set time is started from that moment, and at the same time, the electronic hook switch 15 is controlled through the control circuit 14, and the call is disconnected. The state of the touch panel surface is as shown in Figure 2 (b).
The state shown in Figure (a) is reached.

In this way, the time setting and correction of the clock circuit 9 can be easily performed.

In the above embodiment, the dial 21, time setting mode switching key 41, time setting key 5, and display 6 are integrated using a touch panel, but a configuration without a touch panel may be used.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention includes a drive circuit that causes a transmitting circuit to perform a transmission operation to a time signal information service, a notification means that notifies time information sent from the time signal information service, and a drive circuit that controls the drive circuit to transmit a time signal. It is equipped with a control circuit that causes a call operation for the guidance service and outputs time information from the notification means, and a switch for activating this control circuit is configured in common with a time setting mode switching key that switches the clock circuit to a time setting mode. Therefore, when setting the time, you can obtain time information by simply pressing the time setting mode switch key, and when the time setting key is used to complete the time setting, the call is also disconnected at the same time, making it extremely easy to set the clock circuit's time or This has the effect of allowing corrections to be made.
