CONSTITUTION:In addition to a telephone set including a telephone circuit, two picture display panels 31, 32, a television camera 33 opposed to the picture display panels and picking up at least the own face, an antenna 20 transmitting/ receiving a radio wave and a mobile terminal radio transmission circuit 21 coupled with the antenna and inputting/outputting a picture signal and a sound signal are provided. The antenna 20 is communicated with an antenna 50 of a fixed terminal radio transmitter 51 coupled with an exchange 60. A picture signal received by the antenna 20 is displayed on one picture display panel of the two. A picture signal from the television camera 33 is displayed on the other picture display panel and sent via the antenna 20 and the sound signal via a telephone circuit is transmitted and received by the antenna 20.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] Misfire #! A relates to a multi-function telephone having a transmitter, a handset, a dial button, etc., as well as function buttons, a character display, etc.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional multi-function telephones have a means of connecting one image display device of a computer terminal device to form a communication network with a combination terminal. Next, the television camera that showed the face of the person on the other end of the phone call was also positioned at a resolution that would allow it to capture documents and drawings.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Since the above-mentioned conventional multi-function telephone does not know the appearance of the other party, especially the facial expression, there are many opportunities for problems and misunderstandings due to replies that do not consider the other party's position. In addition, when connecting and combining image transfer equipment to solve the above-mentioned problems, the capital investment is large and costs increase, and if only the packing machine is moved, it cannot perform its functions, which is especially necessary for households and small businesses. The problem of lack of uniformity, which is said to be

[Means for solving problems]

The multifunctional telephone of the present invention includes, in addition to a telephone device including a telephone circuit, two image display panels, a television camera facing at least the user's face facing these image display panels, and a wave money transfer transmission/reception antenna. and a mobile terminal wireless transmission circuit coupled to the antenna to input and output image signals and audio signals. The antenna communicates with an antenna of a fixed terminal wireless transmission device that is coupled to the exchange. The image signal received by the antenna is displayed on one of the two image display images. An image signal from the television camera is displayed on the other image display panel and is transmitted via the antenna, and an audio signal transmitted through the telephone circuit is transmitted and received by the antenna.

〔Example〕

A multifunction telephone according to the present invention will be briefly described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the invention.A multi-function telephone has a handset 101 having a handset 11 and a transmitter 12. Dial button 131 Function button 15° Character display 16
．． Small antenna 20. two small liquid crystal image display panels 31,

When moving 1, antenna 20 and image display panel 31.32
It can be stored inside the main body or on the surrounding wall for convenient transportation. Further, a power socket 40 is provided for receiving commercial power. The power source does not have to be a commercial power source. A description of the power supply will be omitted since it is not directly related to the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. Components that are the same as those shown in FIG. 1 are given the same numbers and symbols, and their explanations will be omitted.

The multifunction telephone 10 includes a handset 11 as a telephone device,
Transmitter 12. Dial button 13 and telephone circuit 14 to which all these are connected. and a function button 15 and a character display 1G, and the connection control circuit 17 is connected to the telephone circuit 142 and the function button 15.
and a character display 16 to execute control processing according to the operation of the function buttons 15. Furthermore, the multifunction telephone 10 has an antenna 20 for transmitting and receiving signals including image and audio signals, and a mobile terminal wireless transmission circuit 21 coupled to this antenna. The mobile terminal wireless transmission circuit 21 is the image/audio signal separation/merging circuit 22fj! : Through the image path 23, the other audio signal is connected through the image path 23, and the other audio signal is connected through the signal path 25, and signals such as monitoring signals are connected through the signal path 25 to the control circuit 17.
Connect to. The connection control circuit 17ri also executes control operations in accordance with signals from the mobile terminal wireless transmission circuit 21. Furthermore, the multifunction telephone 10 has an image display panel 31 for displaying an image of the communication partner, and an image display panel 32 for displaying its own image. It also has a television camera 33 that takes an image of itself facing the image display panels 31 and 32, and the two image display panels 31 and 32 and the television camera 5p33 are connected to the connection control circuit 17.
The mobile 21 has an image signal conversion circuit 34 that mutually converts each image signal into an M signal and operation signals for the display panel and camera. have Image and audio signal separation and merging circuit 2
2 separates the signal received by the antenna 20 into an image signal and an audio signal, and also combines the image signal and audio signal received via the connection control circuit 17i so as to be transmitted from the antenna 20. The image signal conversion circuit 34 is connected to the image display panels 31 and 32.
j? and the decoding code for the TV camera 33 and each device? Convert and restore communication signals. The output of the television camera 33 is branched in both directions by the connection control circuit 17, from the image display panel 32 to the antenna 20, and is displayed on the image display panel 32 of the other party and the user's own image display panel. Radio waves transmitted and received by the antenna 20 are received and transmitted by the antenna 50, and are connected to the exchange 60 via the fixed terminal wireless transmission device i51.

Power is normally received from a commercial power source and is supplied to each circuit via a power supply circuit (not shown).

This series offers a full line of multi-function telephones that can be carried and communicated anywhere commercial power is available, such as in homes and small businesses.
