The remote dialing method of the telephone of the present invention configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 4A and 4B.

First, in step S101, it is determined whether the lock button 12a of the remote controller 100 is turned on. The lock button 12a indicates that an unauthorized user presses the memory button 12b due to carelessness. It is to prevent. Therefore, by pressing the lock button 12a, it becomes a preparation step for driving the remote controller 100.

Next, in step S102, when the lock button 12a is turned on, the remote controller 100 is vibrated for a predetermined time. If there is an input of the lock button 12a, the controller 16 controls the remote controller ( The vibration is generated for a predetermined time set as a signal that 100 is driven to indicate that the user is ready to press the memory button 12b.

In step S103, it is determined whether the memory button 12b is turned on and input after the vibration is generated, and it is determined whether there is an input of the memory button 12b after the lock button 12a is input to the user. In this case, after the vibration is generated as in step S104, it is determined whether the memory button 12b has been input within a predetermined time, and when this set time has elapsed, the state is returned to the initial state. If there is an input of the button 12b, the following steps are performed.

That is, in step S105, when the memory button 12b is turned on, the control unit 16 recognizes it, and then outputs a control signal to the first transmitter / receiver 20 to convert the radio signal of a predetermined frequency. It is sent through one pattern antenna (22).

At this time, in step S106, the wireless signal transmitted from the second pattern antenna 24 of the control adapter 200 connected to one end of the telephone 300 is received, and the second transmission / reception unit 26 receives the received wireless signal. Amplification and conversion. In this way, the controller 28 recognizes that the radio signal is received, converted, and inputted, and in step S107, the state of the phone 300 is checked through the interface unit 32. That is, in step S108, the controller 28 receives the current state of the telephone 300 from the controller in the telephone 300 and determines whether the hook switch of the telephone is in the on state. In this case, the controller 28 may determine the state of the phone through the control unit of the phone 300, but may also detect and determine only the on or off state of the hook switch of the phone 300.

In step S109, if the hook switch of the phone 300 is in the on state, the call is blocked. If the hook switch is in the on state, the hook switch is turned on because the handset or the handset is turned off when the call is in a wired or wireless telephone. Forcibly, the hook switch is turned off. That is, mechanically, even if the hook switch is in the on state, the standby state can be made through the control unit 16 of the telephone 300. Although not shown in detail in the present invention, it will be easily implemented by those skilled in the art.

In step S110, when the hook switch is in an off state or in an off state, the stored first telephone number is dialed and transmitted through a trunk line. This allows the controller 28 to output the telephone number stored in the memory unit 30 via the interface unit 32 via the control unit 16 of the telephone 300 and to output a dial tone signal to the trunk line or of the telephone 300. The dial tone signal can be output from the controller 28 directly to the trunk line of the telephone 300 through the interface unit 32 without passing through the control unit.

In step S111, it is determined whether the dialed telephone number is busy. Even if the telephone number set through the CO line is dialed, if the other party is busy, the call is not connected to the call state. .

In step S112, if the dialed telephone number is in a busy state, the hook switch of the telephone 300 is turned on to turn off the dialed telephone number. In other words, it is switched to the same state as when the handset is put down. In addition, in step S113, it is determined whether a predetermined time has elapsed after the call is blocked, that is, the dialed state is blocked. If the other party is busy, it waits for a predetermined time until the call ends. At this time, for example, it can be set so that an interval of about 10 to 30 seconds can be waited.

Therefore, in step S114, it is determined whether the number of times of dialing is five times when a predetermined time elapses, and when it is five times or less, the process returns to step S110 of dialing the first telephone number. This means that the number of times dialing is determined, for example, 5 times or more by determining the number of dialing of the set phone number, and the number of times the user dials a certain number of times in case the call becomes longer or does not answer. . Therefore, when the number of times of dialing is five times or less, the process returns to step S111 of dialing the stored first telephone number.

However, even when the number of times of dialing is five or more times, if the call state with the other party is not established, the second telephone number stored in step S115 is dialed. That is, the second telephone number is dialed among the plurality of telephone numbers stored in the memory unit 30. This allows the user to set the desired number of phone numbers, which can be input to the phone number of the police station, fire department or neighbors and relatives. Therefore, even when the second telephone number is dialed five times and the call is not established, the third telephone number, the fourth telephone number, and the like can be continuously dialed.

In step S116, after the dialing is performed, it is determined whether a call connection is established, if not on a call, which determines whether the call is connected while the other party is not busy. I will judge.

Therefore, in step S117, the voice message stored in the memory unit 30 is transferred from the controller 28 to the trunk line of the telephone 300 through the interface unit 32 in the state where the call is made. In the next step (S118) determines whether all the stored voice messages have been delivered to the other party, when the delivery of the message is completed in step (S119) the controller 28 of the control adapter 200 in the second transmitter and receiver 26 After outputting the control signal, the second transmitter / receiver 26 converts the radio signal indicating the completion of transmission and transmits the control signal to the remote controller 100 through the second pattern antenna 24. Delivery of the stored voice message can be made at least once or more so that the opposite party can accurately recognize the voice message.

Meanwhile, in step S120, the first pattern antenna 22 and the first transmitter / receiver 20 of the remote controller 100 are amplified and converted into the control unit 16 and inputted to the control unit 16, and the control unit 16. After recognizing this, and outputs a control signal to the vibrating element (14). Accordingly, in step S121, the vibrating element 14 generates vibration for a predetermined period by a control signal of the controller 16 for a predetermined time to inform the user that the dialing and voice message transmission are completed. As a result, the user can take secondary measures or be relieved to some extent with respect to the current emergency.

Finally, in step S122, after the vibration is generated in the vibrating element 14, the remote controller 100 is initialized to return to the initial state.

On the other hand, in the remote dialing method of the present invention, it is necessary to test whether the remote dial device operates correctly since no emergency occurs. Therefore, the user needs to make a predetermined operation test in this case. In this case, the telephone number to be dialed may be reset to a telephone number that can be tested and then tested using the lock button 12a and the memory button 12b of the remote controller 100.

As described above, in the present invention, by storing a plurality of phone numbers where a user can request help in case of an emergency or an emergency in a place where a home or a user desires to deliver a desired voice message, It is effective in minimizing human and material damage by allowing quick response to safety accidents or emergencies. In addition, even when it is not an emergency, when carrying a remote controller, it can be seen that there is an incoming signal on the telephone at a predetermined distance where the telephone is located, thereby increasing convenience in using the telephone.
