Now, the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a view showing configuration of a wired telephone communication system by means of wireless communication modules 100 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
The wired telephone communication systembymeans of wireless communication modules 100 has a plurality of wireless communication modules 10a, 10b, ... , lOn. Each of the wireless communication module transmits telephone signal to wireless telephone network 300 and receives the telephone signal from the wireless telephone network 300.
The wireless telephone communication network 300 has a base station 310, a control station 330 and a switching center 350 and each of the wireless communication modules 10a, 10b, ... , lOn transmits the telephone signal to the base station 310 of the network 300 or receives the telephone signal from the base station 310 of the network 300 so that the module 10a, 10b, ... , lOn can communicate with an outside wired telephone 210 connected to the network 300 through a PSTN 200 or a mobile phone 410 which communicates with the base station 410.
The wired telephone communication systembymeans of wireless communication modules 100 has a wired telephone connecting part 30 and a plurality of wired telephones la, lb, lc, ... In are connected to the wired telephone connecting part 30 via phone-line. Each of the wired telephones la, lb, lc, ... In has its own telephone number. The system 100 has an exchange part 23 which exchangeably switches the wireless communication modules 10a, 10b, 10c, ... lOn and the wired telephones la, lb, lc, ... In connected to the wired telephone connecting part 30. The system 100 has an announcement part 25 which announces necessary information to the wireless communication module or the wired telephone, which are switched to the exchange part 23. The exchange part 23 maybe a conventional PBX (Private Branch Exchange) or KEY system. The announcement part 25 announces the information such as ring signal, communication signal or busy signal and other necessary messages as described hereinafter.
Furthermore, the system 100 has a decoder 24 which decodes the DTMF telephone signal inputted from the wireless communication module or wired telephone switched to the exchange part 23 into data.
These wireless communication modules 10a, 10b, 10c, ... , lOn, the wired telephones la, lb, lc, ...In, the exchange part 23, the announce part 25 and the decoder 24 are connected to a control part 21 and are under the control of the control part 21. The control part 21 includes CPU and memory and the memory stores a control program determining the operation of the CPU and data which the CPU processes. The telephone signal which is decoded in to data by the decoder 24 is inputted to the control part 21 and the control part 21 establish call channel between the outside phone 410 or 210 and the wired telephone la, lb, lc, ...In by using the telephone signal data.
With reference to Fig. 2, the exchange part 23 may be configured into a wireless communication module exchange part 232 and a wired telephone exchange part 231. The wireless communication module exchange part 232 switches the wireless communication module 10a, 10b, 10c, ... , lOn and the wired telephone exchange part 231 switches the wired telephone la, lb, lc, ..., In. Also, the decoder 24 is configured into a wireless communication module decoder 242 and a wired telephone decoder 241. The wireless communication module decoder 242 decodes the telephone signal from the wireless communication modules switched to the wireless communication module exchange part 232 and the wired telephone decoder 241 decodes the telephone signal from the wired telephone switched to the wired telephone exchange part 231.
The achievement of call between the outside phone 210 or 410 and one of the wired telephones la, lb, lc, ... , In ("object wired telephone") will be explained with reference to Fig. 3 when the outside phone 210 or 410 tries to call the object wired telephone.
Firstly, the outside phone 210 or 410 transmits telephone signal to one of the wireless communication modules 10a, 10b, 10c, ..., lOn. This signal is received to the objected wireless communication module via wireless telephone network 300 and, between the outside phone 210 or 410 and the objected wireless communication module, the communication mode is set up and maintained. That is, when a user of the outside phone 210 or 410 inputs a phone number of the wireless communication module, the outside phone 210 or 410 transmits the telephone signal and the transmitted telephone signal is received by the objected wireless communicationmodule via the wireless telephone network 300 so that the communication mode between the outside phone and the objected wireless communication module is established (Step S301)
At this time, the switching center 350 may assign representative number to one of the wireless communicationmodule 10a, 10b, 10c, .., lOn and assign forwarding numbers to the remains of the wireless communication modules. In that case, when the outside phone 210 or 410 tries call by the representative number and the wireless communication module of the representative number is in use, the switching center 350 automatically forwards the telephone signal to other wireless communication module. Accordingly, the user of the outside phone 210 or 410 needs not to know all the numbers of the wireless communication modules, and can call only by the representative number.
The control part 21 is connected to the wireless communication modules 10a, 10b, 10c, ... , lOn and always checks whether the wireless communication modules 10a, 10b, 10c, ... , lOn receive the telephone signal. Accordingly, when one of the wireless communicationmodules receives the telephone signal, the control part 21 perceives it. (Step S302)
Then, the control part 21 controls the exchange part 23 to switch the wireless communicationmodule receiving the telephone signal from the outside phone 210 or 410. (Step S303) Also, the control part 21 operates the decoder 24 connected to the exchange part 23. (Step S304)
After that, the control part 21 controls the announcement part 25 to announce the message to input the own number of the object wired telephone to the wireless communication module receiving the telephone signal. (Step S305) Since the wireless communication module is in communication mode with the outside phone, the announcement is delivered to the outside telephone.
When the user of the outside phone 210 or 410 inputs the own number of the object wired telephone (Step S306) , this input signal is delivered to the decoder 24 via the wireless communication module receiving the telephone signal and the exchange part 23. The input signal delivered to the decoder 24 is DTMF signal and the decoder 24 decodes the DTMF signal into data. (Step S307)
The data of the own number of the object wired telephone is inputted to and read by the control part 21 (Step S308)
Then, the control part 21 checks whether the object wired telephone is in use. (Step S309)
If the object wired telephone is in use, the control part 21 controls the announcement part 25 to announce the line-busy message to the wireless communication module in communication with the outside phone 210 or 410. Accordingly, the user of the outside phone can recognize that the object telephone is in use. (Step S310)
If the object wired telephone is not in use, the control part 21 controls the exchange part 23 to switch the object wired telephone. (Step S311)
Then, the announcement part 25 delivers the ring signal to the object wired telephone switched to the exchange part 23. (Step S312)
By the ring, the user of the object wired telephone hooks off. (Step S313) and the communication mode between the outside phone and the object wired telephone is established. (Step S314)
Accordingly, it is possible to communicate between the outside phone and the object wired telephone by the system 100 of the present invention.
When one of the wired telephone la, lb, lc, ... , In tries to call the outside phone 210 or 410, the achievement of call between them will be explained with reference to Fig. 4.
Firstly, one of the wired telephone la, lb, lc, ... In is hooked off. (Step S401)
The control part 21 connected to the wired telephones la, lb, lc, ... , In always checks the status of the wired telephones la, lb, lc, ... , In . When one of the wired telephone la, lb, lc, ... In is hooked off, the control part 21 perceives it. (Step S402) Then, the control part 21 controls the exchange part 23 to switch the wired telephone (Step S403) Also, the control part 21 operates the decoder 24 connected to the exchange part 23. (Step S404)
Next, the control part 21 searches the wireless communication modules to find a wireless communication module which is not in use. (Step S405)
If the resting wireless communication module (that is wireless communicationmodule which is not in use) is not found, the control part 21 controls the announcement part 25 to announce the busy message to the wired telephone trying to call the outside phone. (Step S406) And the control part 21 breaks the switch between the exchange part 23 and the wired telephone trying to call. (Step S407)
If the resting wireless communication module is found, the communication mode signal is delivered to the wired telephone and the user of the wired telephone inputs the object outside phone number. (Step S408)
The DTMF signal presenting the object outside phone number is delivered to the decoder 24 via the exchange part 23 and the decoder 24 decodes the DTMF signal into data. (Step S409) The objected outside phone number data is read by the control part 21 (Step S410) and the control part 21 judges whether the input of the objected outside phone number is completed. (Step S411) For instance, the control part 21 judges that the input of the obj ected outside phone number is completed if no input is detected after waiting 8 seconds. Alternatively, the control part 21 may judges that the input of the objected outside phone number is completed when the user inputs special letter such as * or #-
Then, the control part 21 switches the found resting wireless communication module to the exchange part 23. (Step S412) And, the control part 21 delivers the objected outside phone number data to the resting wireless communication module. (Step S413) For example, the control part 21 and the wireless communication module is connected by RS 232C so that the objected outside phone number data is delivered to the resting wireless communication module. The wireless communication module transmits the telephone signal including the objected outside phone number data to the base station 310 of the wireless communication network 300.
Figs. 5 and 6 show the flow chart of the operation of the control part 21.
Firstly, Fig. 5 shows the operation of a control part 21 when trying to call the object wired telephone connected to the system 100 from the outside.
The control part 21 judges whether the wireless communication modules 10a, 10b, 10c, ... , lOn receives the telephone signal from the network 300. (Step S501)
If at least one of the wireless communication modules 10a, 10b, 10c, ...,10n receives the telephone signal fromthe wireless communication network 300, the control part 21 controls the exchange part 23 to switch the wireless communication module receiving the telephone signal from the network 300 and in communication mode with the outside phone and operates the decoder 24. (Step S502)
Then, the control part 21 controls the announcement part 25 to announce the message to input the object wired telephone number. (Step S503)
The DTMF signal of the obj ect wiredtelephone number is decoded into data by the decoder 24 and the control part 21 reads the data and identify the object wired telephone. (Step S504) The control part 21 checks the object wired telephone and judges whether the object wired telephone is in use. (Step S505)
If the object wired telephone is in use, the control part 21 controls the announcement part 25 to deliver the busy signal to the wireless communication module receiving the telephone signal from the network 300 and in communication mode with the outside phone and operates the decoder 24. (Step S506)
If the object wired telephone is not in use, the control part 21 switches the object wired telephone to the exchange part
23 (Step S507) and controls the announcement part 25 to deliver the ring signal to the object wired telephone. (Step S508)
Fig. 6 shows the operation of the control part 21 when one of the wired telephone la, lb, lc, ..., In connected to the system 10 tries to call the outside phone 210 or 410.
Firstly, the control part 21 checks the signal status of the wired telephone la, lb, lc, ... , In to judges whether there is a try to call. (Step S601)
If at least one of the wired telephone la, lb, lc, ... , In tries to call (by hook off), the control part 21 switches the wired telephone to the exchange part 23 and operates the decoder
24 connected to the exchange part 24. (Step S602)
Then, the control part 21 searches the resting wireless communication module. (Step S603)
If the resting communication module is found, the control part 21 let the announcement part 25 deliver the communication mode signal to the wired telephone. (Step S604) And, the control part 21 reads the outside object phone number. (Step S605)
Then, the control part 21 judges whether the input of the object outside phone number is completed. (Step S606) For example, the control part 21 determines the completion of the outside obj ect phone number in case of no more input for 8 seconds or input of special letter.
Then, the control part 21 switches the resting wireless communication module to the exchange part 23. (Step S607) And the control part 21 inputs the object outside phone number data to the wireless communication module switched to the exchange part 23. (Step S608)
After that, the control part 21 makes the wireless communication module transmit the telephone signal to the base station 310 of the wireless telephone network 300. (Step S609)
If the resting wireless communication module is not found, the control part 21 controls the announcement part 25 to deliver the busy signal to the wired telephone trying to call (StepS610) , andbreaks the switch between the wired telephone andthe exchange part 23 and offs the decoder 24. (Step S611)
In the wired telephone communication system by means of the wired communication module 100, the exchange part may exchangeably switch the wired telephones la, lb, lc, ... , In connected to the wire telephone connecting part 30 between themselves. In this case, the control part 21 recognizes that the call-try of the wired telephone is directed to the other wired telephone and exchangeably switches them by the exchange part 23. For example, when trying to call to the other wired telephone, the user should initially inputs the special letter.
The wired telephone communication system by means of the wired communication module 100 enables the wired telephone la, lb, lc, ... , In conveniently to send the SMS (Short Message Service) . In this case, the control part 21 has a converting means which converts button signal data inputted through the wired telephone into letter message data . The converting means converts the button signal data corresponding to the button into message data. Then, the control part 21 delivers the converted message data to the wireless communication module and the wireless communication module transmits the message data to SMSC (Short Message Service Center) via the wireless telephone network 300. Accordingly the SMSC distributes the SMS to the mobile phones.
The operation in this case is as follows.
Firstly, the wired telephorie connected to the system 30 through connecting part 30 is hooked off and the control part 21 is informed of the SMS sending. For example, the press of the *, # letter button on the wired telephone may inform the control part 21 of the SMS sending.
Then, message is inputted by pressing buttons on the telephone (for example, in such a way that message is inputted to the mobile phone for the SMS sending) . Each of the button corresponds a letter. Then these button signal is received by the exchange part and is decoded into data by the decoder 24 anddeliveredto the control part 21. Inthepreferredembodiment shown in Fig. 2, the wired telephone side decoder 231 decodes the inputtedbutton signal into data and delivers it to the control part 21. Then, the control part 21 converts the signal into the message data and delivers the message data to the wireless communication module. The wireless communication module transmits the message data to the outside SMSC and the SMS is sent .
