Clock function control device of wired / wireless telephone using caller ID display function {APPARATUS FOR CONTROLING A TIME WATCH IN A CALLER ID TELEPHONE}

The present invention relates to an apparatus for controlling a wired / wireless telephone clock function by using a caller ID display function, in particular. Using the current time information on the caller's number to correct the current time of the faulty wired or wireless telephone clock, as well as a caller ID that allows alarms to be triggered at a specified time interval and at a specific time. A watch function control apparatus for a wired or wireless telephone using a display function.

In Korea, it can be seen that recently, a call-related additional service called 'caller number display service' has been implemented. This is commonly referred to as a 'Caller ID' service, that is, a 'CID' service.

The CID service uses a signal standard according to the CCITT V.32 protocol to provide the name of the caller, a telephone number as a unique identification number, time information according to the origination and optical illusion It is a service.

In order to use the CID service, a wired / wireless telephone having a caller ID display function must be provided, and at the same time, a switch for providing a signal of the standard connected to the wired / wireless telephone is required.

The wired and wireless telephones are provided by users according to general service use, and the exchange is provided by telephone network operators according to service provision.

The CID service is widely used in terms of benefits of privacy protection of a receiver related to a telephone call, and protection of a call reception option through confirmation of a caller.

However, in the case of the CID service, almost all of them are used for the purpose of making a call, that is, for verifying the identity of a caller.

This results in limited use of the service, despite the scalability provided by that signal specification.

As an example, as described above corresponding signal protocol. In case of CID service, caller's name and time information according to call origination can also be checked by the receiver, and there is no provision of a separate service that can use other caller information other than caller's phone number where such information can be transmitted. have.

This is because only existing caller ID wired and wireless telephones are used in a limited aspect in terms of the meaning, purpose, and practicality of the proposed signaling protocol.

In addition, the user can use the characteristics unique to the CID service more conveniently, and a service can be provided that can be used in more various fields. However, there is no proposal of a special service that satisfies this.

Therefore, a larger object of the present invention is to use the provided CID service to provide additional services that may be required by users in various fields, and in particular, through caller ID detection on the CID service. An additional device related to a CID service can improve user convenience.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a device capable of controlling a clock function on a wired or wireless telephone by using a caller ID display function that directly provides a CID service and a service thereof to a user.

In particular, by using the time information on the caller ID received along with the incoming call, the caller ID (Caller ID) is used to correct the time of the error-prone wired / wireless telephone clock and to generate an alarm at a set time interval and time from the user. It is to provide a clock function control device for wired / wireless telephones using a display function.
