Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain incoming processing functionally during talking by providing a means for holding tentatively a talking party at the arrival of telephone call from a 3rd party and communicating with the 3rd party and a means for applying image communication through another channel selectively. CONSTITUTION:While a talking party A communicates with a talking party B through, e.g., a 1st channel, when a call comes from a called party C, a control circuit section 18 detects a telephone call, a display circuit section 9 is operated by a signal from a signal processing section 17 and the telephone number of the party C is displayed on the display device 8. The party A recognizes the called party C from the display to continue the communication with the party B, and if it is desired to confirm the call of the party C, the party A depresses a memo communication selection switch 15. Thus, memo communication is executed through a 2nd channel being an idle channel. Moreover, when interruption is selected in the party C, a catch-phone selection switch 12 is depressed. Thus, the party B is awaited to attain direct call to the party C.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an interrupt communication telephone that can functionally process incoming calls during a call.

[Conventional technology]

With conventional interrupt communication telephones, when there is an incoming call from a third party during a call, a call waiting signal is sent to the user, and when the user receives this signal and presses the call waiting button or hooks, It was possible to talk to a third party by making the first caller wait.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, with conventional interrupt communication telephones, the first party is forced to wait while the telephone is communicating with a third party. On the other hand, in order to avoid this, if you ignore the incoming call from a third party and continue the call with the first person, the third party will have to repeat the call again and again, and in case of an emergency, you will be called back. This is inconvenient not only for the three parties but also for the user himself.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide an interrupt call telephone that can functionally process incoming calls during a call.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention includes a notification means for notifying an incoming call from a third party during a call, a storage means for storing the telephone number of the third party, and an interrupt call instruction input means for inputting an interrupt call instruction. An interrupt call means for temporarily putting the other party on hold and making a call with the third party when an input is made to the means; an image communication instruction input means for inputting an image communication instruction; and an image communication instruction input means for inputting an image communication instruction; This interrupt communication telephone is equipped with an automatic calling means for automatically calling a telephone number stored in a storage means using a channel different from that for the call when a call is made, and an image communication means for carrying out image communication using the channel.

[Effect]

When there is an incoming call from a third party during a telephone call, first, the notification means notifies the user, and the third party's telephone number is stored in the storage means.

After receiving the above notification, the user can either allow the interrupt call or
Decide whether to confirm the matter through image communication.

If an interrupt call is permitted, an instruction to that effect is input using the interrupt call instruction input means. When there is an input to the means, the interrupting call means operates, temporarily putting the person on the other end of the call on hold, and making a call with the third party, that is, an interrupting call.

Further, when performing image communication, an instruction to that effect is inputted using the image communication instruction input means. When an input is made to the image communication instruction input means, the automatic call means first operates, and an automatic call is made to the telephone number stored in the storage means through a channel different from that of the call. Then, the image communication means operates and image communication is performed through the channel.

11 is an input/output device control unit that controls the memo communication input/output device 10, 12 is a call waiting selection switch, and 13 is for controlling input from the call waiting selection switch 12. 14 is a storage means for storing the telephone number of the other party when an incoming call is received; 15 is a memo communication selection switch;
16 is a memo communication selection control section 16a and a memo transmission control section 16
17 is a signal processing section that processes signals between the control circuit section 18 and each section, and 18 is a control circuit section that performs communication processing.

Further, FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a memo communication selection sequence in the embodiment of FIG. 1. Based on Figures 1 and 2,
The operation of the above interrupt communication telephone will be explained.

First, caller A, who is the user of the telephone of the present invention, calls caller B.
For example, suppose that while a telephone call is in progress on the first channel, there is an incoming call from a third party (callee C). When the control circuit section 18 detects the incoming call, the display circuit section 9 operates according to the signal from the signal processing section 17.
The telephone number of the called party C is displayed on the display 8. If the telephone has a so-called electronic telephone directory function, it may be configured to search for the name of the called party C from the telephone number of the called party C and display this. At the same time, the display circuit section 9 is activated by a signal from the signal processing section 17, and a signal indicating that there is an incoming call is sent from the speaker of the handset 1. As a result, caller A is notified of the incoming call and that the call is from C.

The caller A thereby recognizes the called party C and decides how to respond.

If the user wishes to continue the conversation with caller B and also check the business of callee C during the call, the user presses the memo communication selection switch 15 to select memo communication. Storage means 14
stores a third party's telephone number that is input from the signal processing unit 17 when a call is received during a call. Memo communication selection switch 1
5 is pressed, the memo communication control means 16:
The telephone number of the called party C during the call is read out from the storage means 14, and an automatic call is made using this telephone number using the second channel, which is a vacant channel, thereby enabling memo communication from the memo communication input/output device]0. .

Therefore, caller A can send and receive memos to and from callee C, and know the business of the callee, without interrupting the call with caller B.

If you want to select normal interrupt communication for caller C, press the call waiting selection switch 12 to send a call waiting response signal to the network and wait for caller B as in conventional call waiting. Furthermore, it is also possible to directly talk to the called party C during the call.

The choice of whether or not to send a memo is based on the will of caller A, so caller A who made the call to callee C will be responsible for paying the communication fee.
Try not to put a burden on yourself.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the present invention, when there is an incoming call from a third party during a call, it is possible to communicate with the third party using an empty channel while continuing the call with the first party, or to You can choose to make the first caller wait on call waiting and then talk directly to a third party, so depending on who the first caller or third party is, you can This has the advantage that it is no longer inconvenient for both parties.
