Abstract

PURPOSE:To switch over the function of a telephone set by comparing a signal indicating time outputted from a clock and a signal indicating time set by a user, and when they coincide, outputting a switching signal to a controlling circuit. CONSTITUTION:A telephone set 1 consists of a handset and dial section 2, a bell circuit 3, a telephone line for inputting and outputting 4, an attenuator 5 for reducing sound volume of the bell, a switch 6 connected in parallel to the attenuator 5, a clock 7, a setting circuit 8 by which a user of the telephone set sets a time zone, a comparator circuit 9 that compares time of the clock 7 and time set to the setting circuit 8 and a controlling circuit 10 for controlling the switch 6 by output of the comparator circuit 9. During the time zone set to the setting circuit 8 by the user of the telephone set, the switch 6 is opened by a controlling signal 12 outputted by the controlling circuit 10, and sound volume of the bell circuit 3 is reduced.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] 3. Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention has a built-in timer in the telephone, and depending on the time of day,
This invention relates to a telephone that can switch functions within the telephone.

[Conventional technology]

With conventional care machines, it was impossible to switch the functions within the 111 call machine depending on the time of day.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The present invention provides a telephone that can switch functions depending on the time of day.

[Means for solving problems]

The telephone of the present invention is characterized in that the tti handset has a built-in clock, a circuit for storing a set time zone, and a control circuit for switching one function during the memorized time zone. .

[Effect]

The signal representing the time output from the clock is compared with the signal representing the time previously set by the user of the telephone, and if they match, a switching signal is output to the control circuit. The control circuit uses the switching signal to switch the switch, thereby switching the functions of the telephone.

A switch 6 connected in parallel with the attenuator 5, a clock 7, a setting circuit 8 for the user of the telephone to set the time zone, and a comparison circuit 9 for comparing the time on the clock 7 with the time set in the setting circuit 8. , and a control circuit 10 for controlling the switch 6 using the output of the comparison circuit 9.

During the time period set in the setting circuit 8 by the user of the telephone, the control signal 1 which is the output of the control circuit 10 is
2 opens the switch 6 and reduces the volume of the bell circuit 3.

Since the timer part 11, which consists of a clock 7, a setting section 8, a comparison circuit 9, and a control circuit 10, is widely used, its operation and configuration will not be described in detail. Hereinafter, it will simply be referred to as the timer circuit section 11.

A second embodiment of the present invention will be described using FIG. 2.

This embodiment is an example in which the present invention is applied to switching between a voice mail function and a telephone call function.

f! f. The stuffing machine 1 includes a handset and dial section 2, a timer circuit section 11. Voicemail device 13. Timer circuit section 1
A switch 6 whose switching is controlled by an output signal 12 from 1
It consists of

During the time period set by the user, the control signal 12 causes the switch 6 to switch between the ftlRl machine 4 and the ftlRl machine 4.

The voice mail device is switched to be connected.

A third embodiment of the present invention will be described using FIG. 2. The third embodiment is an example in which the present invention is applied as a function of restricting one call and reception during a set time period. In FIG. 2, if the voice mail device 13 is deleted, the telephone line 4 will not be connected to anything during the set time period, and reception and transmission will not be possible.

A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described using FIG. 2.

The fourth embodiment is an example in which the present invention is applied to automatic transmission of stored messages. In FIG. 2, if the voice mail device 13 is used as a message sending device, the switch 6 is changed during the set time period, the telephone fi 4 is connected to the message sending device, and the message is automatically sent. In this case, the content of the message may be voice or data, and there are many types of message sending devices, such as those using magnetic tape or solid-state memory.
In any case, the scope of the claims of the present invention is not limited, so detailed description thereof will not be given.

A fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described using FIG. 3. In the fifth embodiment, the present invention is applied to message reception.

The telephone 1 includes a handset and a dial section 2. Timer circuit section 11, message sending device 14, and the timer circuit section 1
The switch 6 is controlled by the output 12 from the switch 6.

When the time period set by the user comes, switch 6 is activated.
is switched, and the handset 2 is switched to the message sending device 14.
You can listen to messages by connecting with If the message sending device is configured to send out a readout signal sound such as a bell sound first, it is effective for alarming and the like.

A sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described using FIG. 6. The sixth embodiment is an example in which the present invention is applied to switching between telephones.

The telephone 1 includes a handset and dial section 2, input/output telephones 4 and 16, a timer circuit section 11. It is comprised of a switch 6 whose switching is controlled by the output 12 from the timer circuit section 11. A telephone set 15 is connected to the electric R8 line 16.

During a time period set by the user of the telephone 1, the switch 6 is switched by a control signal 12, and the telephone line 4 is connected to the telephone line 16 through the contacts of the switch 6. Therefore, the telephone 15 can be used during this time period.

Outside the set time period, the telephone line 4 is connected to the telephone 1.
connected to.

By performing the above operations, it is possible to use the telephones installed at three locations by dividing them into different time zones.

A seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described using FIG. 5. The seventh embodiment combines the present invention into one? The li phone was connected 2
