Description

INTEGRATED COMMUNICATION APPARATUS USING BLUETOOTH
Technical Field The present invention relates to an integrated communication apparatus using a bluetooth capable of achieving various functions such as a conference, a h ands-free d evice for vehicle, a n I P ( Internet P rotocol) p hone, etc. u sing a bluetooth.
Background Art A communication device such as a PSTN (Public Switched Telephone
Network) wired/wireless phone and a portable phone (cellular, PCS, etc) becomes a necessary item in our life as an information communication is largely advanced. In addition, various communication instruments capable of providing expanded functions such as an inherent phone communication function as well as a data communication, a conference communication, etc, have been developed. With a rapid development in a communication instrument, various communication equipments using a communication environment of a wired/wireless telephone and a cellular phone such as a device for performing a conference between users by connecting the interior of an office and a remote area, a wired/wireless hands-free device conveniently used for a cellular phone while a driver drives, and a device provided for an IP phone function capable of performing a voice chatting with an opponent when using a computer are concurrently provided. However, the above described various communication devices are designed to perform only specific functions of a device for a simple conference, a wired/wireless hands-free device for a vehicle, and an IP phone function based on a computer.

Next, the operation of the integrated communication apparatus using a bluetooth according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 7 through 12. Figures 7 through 12 are views for describing the examples of uses of the integrated communication apparatus using a bluetooth according to the present invention. Figure 7 is a view illustrating an example of use for describing a conference function using the cellular phone 60 having a bluetooth function. As shown therein, the base station 10 is provided at the center of a table in a conference room. The cellular phone 60 having a bluetooth function is provided on the table. An opponent's audio data received in the cellular phone 60 having a bluetooth function is transferred to the wireless headset 20 detachably engaged to the base station 10 provided at the center of the table in a conference room, and an opponent's audio data received from the cellular phone 60 in the wireless headset 20 is outputted to the base station 10 through the speaker. In addition, when the voices of users attending in the conference are inputted through the microphone provided in the base station 10, the base station 10 outputs the user's audio data to the wireless headset 20 and transfers from the wireless headset 20 to the cellular phone 60 through the bluetooth for thereby being transferred to the opponent. Therefore, the users in the conference room and the opponents can have a conference without using an expensive known equipment. At this time, the microphone gain of the base station 10 may be controlled based on the size of the office, and the direction of the microphone provided in the base station 10 may be adjusted based on the positions of the users. In the case that one user among multiple users attending in the conference separates the wireless headset 20 engaged in the base station and puts on t he same, t he audio data of the opponent received f rom the cellular phone 60 is outputted through the speaker provided in itself without outputting to the base station 10, and the user's audio data inputted through the microphone provided in itself is directly transferred to the cellular phone 60. Therefore, the user can have a secret communication with the opponent based on the bluetooth communication. In addition, the user attending in the conference can dial a desired opponent's telephone number using the remote controller 50 of the infrared ray communication in a state that the cellular phone 60 is not used and can adjust the microphone gain of the base station 10. Figure 8 is a view of an example for describing the conference function using a PSTN wired/wireless phone 70 or a PSTN network.

The o pponent's audio d ata
u received through the PSTN adaptor 30 in the wireless headset 20 is outputted to the base station 10 and is reproduced through the speaker. When the voice of the user attending in the conference is inputted through a microphone installed in the base station 10, the user's audio data is outputted to the wireless headset 20 in the base station 10, and the user's audio data is transferred to the PSTN adaptor 30 in the wireless headset 20 based on the bluetooth communication. The user's audio data is outputted to the wired PSTN wired/wireless phone 70 or the PSTN network in the PSTN adaptor 30 for thereby being transferred to the opponent. As s hown i n F igure 7 , t he microphone g ain o f t he b ase s tation 10 i s adjusted based on the size of the office, and the direction of the microphone is adjusted based on the user's position. In the case that the user who attends in the conference separates the wireless headset 20 engaged in the base station 10 and puts on the same, the opponent's audio data received from the PSTN adaptor 20 is not outputted to the base station 10, but is outputted through the speaker provided in the wireless headset 20, and the user's audio data inputted through the microphone provided in itself is directly transferred to the cellular phone 60 for thereby achieving a secrete communication. The telephone number dialing or the microphone gain adjusting of the base station may be implemented using the remote controller 50.
