Referring to the drawings, the telephone network system using the home theater according to the present invention, the bus line (bus line) is provided to be connected to the input and output so that the transmission and reception signals of the telephone 11, and by the bus line A microcomputer of a home theater that is connected to the telephone 11 so as to be transmitted and received and controls to receive from the telephone 11 and send the received message to the user, and to mute the audio signal when the telephone 11 is received. It comprises 21.

In addition, a telephone network system using a home theater according to the present invention includes an amplifier 22 for amplifying a voice signal according to the control signal of the microcomputer 21, and a speaker connected to the amplifier 22 to output a voice signal ( 23, a remote controller 12 operated by the user for transmitting a voice signal of the user to the receiver of the telephone 11, and a remote control for transmitting the operation signal of the remote controller 12 to the microcomputer 21; It comprises a signal receiving unit 25, and a display device 24 provided in the home theater to be output as a text in accordance with the call reception signal of the micom.

In particular, the microcomputer 21 is provided to ask the user whether or not to receive the call when receiving the call, and automatically send the receiving member voice message to the caller 11 when the call is rejected.

The remote control unit 12 includes a remote control unit 13a for remotely controlling the operation of the home theater, and a radiotelephone unit 13 equipped with a radiotelephone unit 13b capable of wireless telephony.

The remote controller 12 has a built-in microphone 12a for transmitting a voice signal. When the user wants to receive a call, the remote controller 12 transmits a voice signal through the microphone 12a of the remote controller 12. The microcomputer 21 mutes the audio signal, and the user's voice signal is output through the speaker 23.

That is, the form of the remote controller 12 is made of a built-in microphone 12a in a general home theater remote controller 12, or a remote control unit for enabling remote control like the remote controller 12 in the wireless telephone 13 ( 13a) may also be provided.

In addition, the speaker 23 is provided with a microphone (23a) for receiving and transmitting the user's voice signal.

Referring to the control method of the telephone network system having the above configuration is as follows.

3 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method for controlling a telephone network system using a home theater according to the present invention.

The method for controlling a telephone network system using a home theater according to the present invention, as described above, utilizes the speakers 23, which are the greatest advantages of a home theater, to increase the utility of a home theater that is easily decorated for connection with the telephone 11. In other words, it is to build a real home theater.

More specifically, referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, first, when a telephone is received by the telephone 11, the microcomputer 21 of the home theater receives it via a bus line (steps 31 and 33).

Subsequently, the microcomputer 21 outputs a call reception as a video signal on the screen of the display device 24 of the home theater, for example, as text. (Steps 35 and 37)

The user who recognizes that the call is received determines whether or not the call is answered.

If it is determined in step 38 that the user wants to answer the call, the mute signal is transmitted to the microcomputer 21 so that the user's voice signal is received by the speaker 23 of the home theater (steps 39 and 41).

That is, in steps 39 and 41, if the user wants to answer the call, the audio signal of the home theater is muted, and the audio signal received after the audio signal muting operation is passed through the amplifier 22 to the speaker 23. To be received.

In addition, the user's voice signal is transmitted by using the remote control 12 of the home theater.

On the other hand, after performing step 41, a user's voice signal is transmitted by using the microphone 23a installed in the speaker 23, and the voice signal is filtered and amplified, and then the voice signal is output to the telephone receiver. (Steps 51, 53, 55)

In step 38, if it is determined that the user rejects the answer to the call, the microcomputer 21 transmits a voice message indicating the absence of reception.

As described above, in the telephone network system using the home theater and the control method thereof, when the telephone signal of the telephone 11 is received, the microcomputer 21 of the home theater recognizes this and reads information from the ROM, and whether the telephone is received. A character that asks for is loaded on the video signal and transmitted to the screen of the display device 24. The user sees the contents of the call received as a text on the screen of the display device 24 and selects whether to receive the call through the remote controller 12 or the wireless telephone 13.

At this time, when the user wants to receive a call, the microcomputer 21 mutes the audio signal and simultaneously sends the received voice signal to the amplifier 22. The audio signal amplified by the amplifier 22 is transmitted to the user as an analog signal through the speaker 23.

The user transmits a voice signal through the microphone 23a built in the remote controller 12 or the speaker 23 of the home theater, and then transmits the voice signal to the receiver through the amplifier 22.

In this case, the remote controller 12 may operate as the wireless telephone 13, or the user may have a selection key through this so that the remote controller 12 can operate only as the remote controller 12 of the home theater. When the wireless telephone 13 key is selected, the microcomputer 21 recognizes this signal and then blocks all signals from the remote controller 12 until it recognizes a signal for selecting a key of the remote controller 12 function again. Only the home theater that is running is controlled.

According to the present invention, a new type of home theater is being constructed that is different from voice over internet protocol (VoIP) and video telephony. That is, in addition to watching movies or music, home theaters, which are often easy to be used for decoration in real life, are connected to a speaker 23, which is its greatest advantage, and a telephone, thereby increasing its efficiency.

In addition, the present invention, the phone can be connected to the surround system as hands-free connected to the speaker 23 by the automatic sensing when receiving a call. The reason for this is that the speaker 23 may be equipped with a microphone 23a, or an existing SDSM (Super Digital Sound Master) microphone may be used.

In the present invention, the telephone can be wirelessly connected using the number key of the remote controller 12 during transmission.

This will be described in more detail.

As described above with reference to FIG. 1, conventionally, the audio signal is automatically muted to a default value without user selection.

However, in the present invention, when the call is received, the situation is output as a text on the screen of the display device 24, so that the user can select this to access the phone according to his current situation.

That is, the present invention seems to be applied to the conventional technology as if the user received the call and received the call with the remote control 12, but if the user does not want to receive a call, the remote control 12 returns NO. The system automatically delivers the absence of a phone call to the caller by selecting it.

This widens the user's choice and, for example, may reduce the damage caused by the phone while watching a movie or music, and thus may have higher utility of the phone 11 or the home theater from the user's point of view.

In addition, the related art inputs a number to the remote controller 12 when transmitting a telephone, and transmits it using a microphone of an AV device.

However, the present invention can be applied to the new radiotelephone 13 in the form of a remote control 12 by combining the performance of the remote control 12 and the radiotelephone 13 that has been used previously. Therefore, as in the prior art, although the telephone can be transmitted through the microphone of the AV device, the microphone 12a is connected to the remote controller 12 to transmit a voice signal closer to the noise that can be emitted from the surroundings. It can be minimized.

As described above, the telephone network system and the control method using the home theater according to the present invention has the following effects.

The user of the home theater can set a call reception or transmission function through the microcomputer before or during the home theater operation.

And if you make a call using only the microphone connected to the home theater, you will have the disadvantage of the weak analog signal due to the overlap of various noises that may occur around you depending on the user's location, ie, how far from the home theater. Although greatly degraded in terms of call quality, in the present invention, by adding a wireless telephone system to the remote control, it is possible to minimize noise (ambient noise, etc.) that may occur when talking on the speakerphone.

While enjoying leisure time such as watching movies or music, the user's choice is diversified because the time is not disturbed by the phone. Also, the remote control can be combined with the performance of the wireless telephone system to deliver a cleaner voice signal. You can further diversify the role of the remote control that simply controls its functions.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to one embodiment shown in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and equivalent embodiments are possible. Therefore, the true scope of protection of the present invention should be defined only by the appended claims.
