DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the following description of the present invention, detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear. Further, the terms described below are terms set in consideration of the functions of the present invention, and these terms may vary depending on the intention or custom of the producer producing the product, and definitions of the terms should be based on the contents throughout the specification.

(Example)

Hereinafter, a telephone for connecting a smartphone according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a phone for connecting a smartphone according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a phone for connecting a smartphone according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the drawing, the phone 100 for connecting a smartphone according to the present embodiment includes a communication unit 110, an input unit 120, a power unit 130, a display unit 140, a controller 150, a speaker 160, A handset 170 for a mobile phone, and a handset 180 for a fixed line telephone.

The input unit 120 receives a user's operation command. The input unit 120 preferably includes a keypad similar to a general home telephone in consideration of ease of use and the like. It should be noted that the handset handset 170 may be provided with an input unit 120 such as a keypad in consideration of the case where the handset 170 for a mobile phone is connected wirelessly.

The communication unit 110 performs wire / wireless communication with the mobile phone 10 by a control signal of the controller 150, and performs wired / wireless communication with the handset 170 for the mobile phone. In other words, the communication unit 110 may be connected to the earphone connection jack of the mobile phone 10 by wire to perform communication, or may perform communication according to a communication protocol such as Bluetooth. Also, the communication unit 110 may be connected to the handset 170 via a wire such as a cord to perform communication, or may perform wireless communication using a radio frequency used for Bluetooth or a general wireline telephone. As is well known, Bluetooth is relatively short in connection distance due to the limitation of the output, and communication sensitivity may be degraded if obstacles such as walls are present. However, according to the present invention, since the radio frequency used in the wire telephone is used, the obstacle permeability is high and the output is high, so that excellent speech quality can be guaranteed.

The power supply unit 130 supplies power necessary for operation of each component constituting the phone 100 for smartphone connection and power required for charging the mobile phone 10. [ Accordingly, the user can charge the mobile phone 10 without providing a separate charging means for the mobile phone 10, which increases the usability.

The display unit 140 displays the operation status of the phone 100 for smartphone connection. The display contents to be used at this time may include the connection with the mobile phone 10, the connected communication protocol (Bluetooth, etc.), the caller ID, the text content, and the like. Also, the display unit 140 may display the operation status and information of the handset 180 for a wire telephone. In this case, the date, time, caller number, recipient number, and the like may be displayed. It should be noted that the display unit 140 may be included in the handset 170 for mobile phones when the mobile phone handset 170 performs wireless communication.

The handset 170 for a mobile phone performs wired / wireless communication with the communication unit 110 to perform a telephone conversation instead of the mobile phone 10. Here, when the handset 170 for use in a mobile phone is used together with a wireless telephone, it is preferable that the handset 170 includes a keypad and display means for receiving a command from the user. With this configuration, it is possible to perform an operation such as making a telephone call or sending a character by using the handset 170 for a mobile phone. It should be noted that the signal line cord 172 of the handset 170 for a mobile phone may be detachable and separated when used as a wireless telephone. In addition, the handset 170 for a mobile phone may be provided with a display window 171 to perform an operation state, an incoming call indication, a caller indication, and a character display.

The control unit 150 controls the operation of each component of the phone 100 for smartphone connection.

The cordless telephone handset 180 performs a general corded telephone function. By providing the handset 180 for a fixed-line telephone, the user can use the fixed-line telephone even when he or she wants to use the fixed-line telephone, without using a separate fixed telephone. Also, the handset 180 for a wire telephone may be provided with a display lamp 181 to help visually confirm that a call is coming.

(Example of use)

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an example of using a phone for connecting a smartphone according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, the mobile phone 10 is attached to the phone 100 for connecting a smartphone. 2, the cellular phone 10 is shown as being mounted in a lying state, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is noted that the cellular phone 10 may be mounted in a standing state or laid down at a desired angle as required. When the mobile phone 10 is mounted, charging is automatically started.

When the cellular phone 10 is in the reception state, the cellular phone 10 and / or the speaker 160 reproduces the reception sound, and the user is informed that the phone has come. At this time, the display unit 140 operates in a similar manner so that the user can visually confirm the reception state.

The user operates the input unit 120 to receive the telephone call. On the other hand, an operation of receiving a telephone call may be performed by simply lifting the handset 180 for a wire telephone.

Next, in order to perform a calling operation, the user operates a handset 170 for a cellular phone, a handset 180 for a fixed-line telephone, or a keypad constituting the input unit 120, and presses a desired telephone number.
