In this embodiment, the control unit 120 further includes a mute button 1205. When the mute button 1205 of the communication device 10 in the talk mode or the standby mode is pressed, the communication device 10 in the talk mode or the standby mode will switch to the mute mode, And the communication device 10 in the mute mode does not transmit or receive the voice message 210 within a predetermined time, and when the mute button 1205 of the communication device 10 in the mute mode is pressed or after the predetermined time, the communication device in the mute mode 10 Switch to the original call mode or standby mode again. For example, the predetermined time in the silent mode can be set to five minutes, so that the user 200 does not transmit and receive the audio message 210 within a period of five minutes, and the communication device 10 will automatically switch back to the silent mode after switching to the silent mode for five minutes. The call mode or the standby mode, or the user 200 can press the mute key 1205 during the silent mode to actively switch back to the call mode or the standby mode, but the invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the predetermined time of the silent mode can be arbitrarily set according to the needs of the user.

Further, each communication device 10 includes a pairing unit 150 and a device identification code, the pairing unit 150 is electrically connected to the voice message unit 110, and the pairing unit 150 of the communication device 10, which is the initiator of the closed communication group, identifies at least another one according to the device identification code. A communication device 10 is paired with at least another communication device 10 to establish a closed communication group, and each communication device 10 in the call mode in the closed communication group can transmit and receive voice messages 210 through the voice message unit 110 to communicate. It is worth mentioning that after the closed communication group is established, the initiator of the closed communication group can set that the closed communication group does not allow other communication devices 10 to join, or the initiator of the closed communication group can communicate with other communication devices. The communication device 10 is paired to allow the addition of other communication devices 10 .

For example, the pairing unit 150 of the communication device 10, which is the initiator of the closed communication group, can identify five other communication devices 10 according to the device identification codes, so as to establish a closed communication group including six members, and the closed communication group is closed here. After the communication group is established, the initiator of the closed communication group can set the communication devices 10 that are not members of the group to be unable to join the closed communication group, or the initiator of the closed communication group can communicate with the communication devices 10 that are not members of the group. Pairing allows the paired communication devices 10 that are not members of the group to join the closed communication group, but the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the pairing unit of the communication device, which is the initiator of the closed communication group, can identify any number of communication devices according to the device identification code, so as to establish a closed communication group including any number of members, for example, including thirty members The communication device enables other communication devices to be used as backup machines when the communication devices in the closed communication group are damaged, faulty or lost.

With the above configuration, the multi-person instant messaging system 1 of the present invention can prevent unauthorized external devices from joining the communication group, so as to avoid eavesdropping. Although the multi-person instant messaging system 1 of the present creation has an upper limit on the number of communication devices 10 that can communicate at the same time, for example, it supports simultaneous calls by six people, but by adding a larger number of communication devices 10 to a closed communication group, unused The communication device 10 is used as a backup machine, and when the communication device 10 currently making a call is damaged, faulty or lost, it can be instantly replaced with a backup machine to facilitate communication.

In addition, each communication device 10 includes a prompting unit 160, and the prompting unit 160 is electrically connected to the control unit 120, and generates a prompting message corresponding to the switching between the standby mode and the talking mode. Specifically, the prompt unit 160 may include at least one of a vibration element, a prompt sound output element and a light signal output element. Correspondingly, the prompt message may include at least one of a vibration message, a prompt audio message, and a light signal message. For example, when the communication device 10 is switched from the standby mode to the talk mode, the vibrating element in the prompting unit 160 can generate a vibrating message lasting about 1 second, and the light signal output element can continuously emit green light as the light signal. Moreover, when the communication device 10 is switched from the talk mode to the standby mode, the vibrating element in the prompting unit 160 can generate a vibrating message lasting about 3 seconds, and the light signal output element can continuously emit orange light as the light signal message. In addition, when the communication device 10 is switched from the talk mode or the standby mode to the silent mode, the vibration element in the prompt unit 160 can generate a vibration message lasting about 1 second, and the light signal output element can continuously emit red light as the light signal message. The above are only examples, and this creation is not limited thereto.

In addition, in this embodiment, the prompt unit 160 can not only display the switching between the standby mode, the call mode and the silent mode of the communication device 10 , but also include a display element to display the remaining power and signal strength of the communication device 10 . and the number of people in the current distribution group.
