Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a button telephone device, and in particular to a ringing device thereof.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of key telephone device, an incoming call is audibly indicated by a ringing tone. Hereinafter, the above conventional example will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram showing a part of a conventional key telephone device. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a key telephone main device, which is connected to central office lines 2a and 2b. Reference numerals 3a and 3b are key telephones connected to the key telephone main device 1 by extension lines, and in the illustrated example, for convenience of explanation, two telephones are installed. In the button telephone main device 1, numeral 4 is an incoming call detection circuit for detecting an incoming call on a central office line, 5 is an oscillation circuit for tone ringer sound, and 6 is a tone ringer sound oscillator for each button telephone 3a, 3.
7 is a central control circuit that controls the key telephone main unit 1 and the key telephones 3a, 3b as a whole. In each button telephone 3a, 3b, 8 is an amplifier for amplifying the tone ringing sound sent from the link circuit 6, 9 is a speaker for outputting the amplified tone ringing sound, and 10 is a control circuit (CPU) for controlling the button telephones 3a, 3b. ).

The operation of the above configuration will be described below.

If there is an incoming call on the central office line 2a, the button telephone 3
It is assumed that the key telephone 3b is set so that it rings and is audibly displayed, and when there is an incoming call on the central office line 2b, the button telephone 3b also rings and is audibly displayed.

Here, when an incoming call signal is sent from the telephone office via the office line 2a, the incoming call detection circuit 4 of the key telephone main device 1 detects the incoming call and transmits this to the central control circuit 7. Based on this, the central control circuit 7 transmits the incoming call to the link circuit 6 and the control circuit 10 of the button telephone 3a. Based on this, the link circuit 6 intermittents the point a, and transmits the tone ringer sound of the tone ringer oscillation circuit 5 to the amplifier 8 of the button telephone 3a.
Send to. Since the amplifier 8 is turned on by the control circuit 10, the transmitted tone ringer sound can be amplified and output from the speaker 9 to audibly display the incoming call.

Also, when an incoming call signal is sent from the central office line 2b, the same operation as above causes the point b of the link circuit 6 to be disconnected, a tone ringer sound is output from the speaker 9 of the button telephone 3b, and the incoming call is audibly displayed. I can do something.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional button telephone device, since all the button telephones have the same ringing sound, when the button telephones are installed adjacently, it is difficult for either button telephone to ring. There was a problem that it was difficult to judge whether they were doing so or not.

The present invention solves these conventional problems by audibly displaying incoming calls using different voices on each button telephone, so that even when multiple button telephones are installed adjacent to each other, any incoming call can be audibly displayed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a button telephone device which allows it to be easily and reliably determined whether a call is being received on a button telephone.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a key telephone main device connected to a central office line, and a plurality of key telephone devices connected to and controlled by the key telephone main device. , a voice sending means is provided for transmitting and audibly displaying a different sound when receiving a call from each key telephone than when receiving a call from other key telephones.

Then, a voice synthesis circuit is used as the voice sending means,
This voice synthesis circuit can be provided in the button telephone main device, or a voice storage circuit capable of storing voices from the outside may be used as the voice sending means, and this voice storage circuit can be connected to the key telephone main device and the button. You can have it on any of your phones.

Therefore, according to the present invention, when a call is received from each key telephone, the voice sending means transmits a different voice from that used when receiving a call from other key telephones, such as the extension number of the key telephone that received the call or the name of the button telephone user. It can be displayed audibly.

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing a part of a key telephone device according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, the same parts as those in the conventional example described above are given the same reference numerals, and the explanation thereof will be omitted, and the different configuration will be explained.

The features of this embodiment are as shown in Fig. 1.
In the above conventional example, instead of the oscillation circuit 5 and the link circuit 6 provided in the button telephone main device 1, the central control circuit 7 controls the key telephones 3a and 3 that receive the incoming call.
The point is that the amplifier 8 of the telephone 8 is provided with a voice synthesis circuit 11 for transmitting a voice having a different content from that of the other key telephones 3a and 3b.

The operation of the above configuration will be described below.

If there is an incoming call on the central office line 2a, the button telephone 3
If a is displayed audibly and there is an incoming call on central line 2b,
The button telephone set 3b is set to be audibly displayed, and the content of speech synthesis is set to the extension number of each button telephone set 3a, 3b so that the content is different for each button telephone set 3a, 3b, for example, the extension number of the button telephone set 3a. It is assumed that the setting is such that if the number is 50, it will be synthesized as "Golaypan," and if it is the extension number of the key telephone 3b, which is number 60, it will be synthesized as "Lokreiban."

Here, when an incoming call signal is sent from the office line 2a, the incoming call detection circuit 4 detects the incoming call and transmits this to the central control circuit 7. Based on this, the central control circuit 7 controls the speech synthesis circuit 11.
and instructs the control circuit 10 of the button telephone 3a to make an audible display.

Based on this, the voice synthesizing circuit 11 synthesizes the voice "golaypan" as an audible display on the key telephone 3a with extension number 50, and sends this synthesized voice to the amplifier 8 of the key telephone 3a. Amplifier 8 is turned on by control circuit 10
Therefore, it is possible to amplify the transmitted voice ``golaypan'' and output it from the speaker 9 to audibly display the incoming call. Further, even when an incoming call signal is sent from the office line 2b, the same operation as described above can be performed to output a voice saying "Lokreiban" from the speaker 9 of the key telephone 3b, thereby audibly displaying the incoming call.

In this way, according to this embodiment, the extension number is audibly displayed from the key telephone that received the call, so even if multiple key telephones are installed adjacent to each other, the call can be received on any key telephone. It is possible to easily and reliably judge whether or not there is a problem.

In this embodiment, as the content of speech synthesis in the speech synthesis circuit 11, the case where an extension number such as "Golaypan j" is audibly displayed is explained.
, 3b may be combined and output. Further, in this embodiment, the case of receiving a call from a central office line has been described, but the audible display can be similarly performed when receiving a call from an extension line.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram showing a part of a key telephone device according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, the same parts as those in the conventional example described above are given the same reference numerals, and the explanation thereof will be omitted, and the different configuration will be explained.

The features of this embodiment are as shown in Fig. 2.
In the above-mentioned conventional example, the key telephones 3a, 3b that receive calls are controlled by the central control circuit 7 instead of the oscillation circuit 5 and link circuit 6 provided in the key telephone main device 1.
an audio storage circuit 12 capable of storing audio in order to transmit audio with different contents from those of the other key telephones 3a and 3b to the amplifier 8 of the telephone; and a microphone for inputting audio into the audio storage circuit 12. There are 13 points.

The operation of the above configuration will be described below.

Now, the relationship between the office lines 2a, 2b and the hotan telephones 3a, 3b is the same as in the first embodiment, and the voice storage circuit 1
In step 2, it is assumed that the names of the users of the pushbutton telephones 3a and 3b are recorded from the microphone 13. For example, if the user of the button telephone 3a is Mr. Sato, the recording is stored as "Mr. Sato," and if the user of the button telephone 3b is Mr. Yamanaka, it is recorded as "Mr. Tanaka."

Here, when an incoming call signal is sent from the office line 2a, the incoming call detection circuit 4 detects the incoming call and transmits this to the central control circuit 7. The central control circuit 7 is based on this and the audio storage circuit 12
and instructs the control circuit 10 of the Hotan telephone 3a to display an audible display.

Based on this, the voice storage circuit 12 sends the stored content of the voice "Mr. Sato" to the amplifier 8 of the key telephone 3a as an audible display on the key telephone 3a. amplifier 8
is turned on by the control circuit 10, so the transmitted voice "Mr. Sato" can be amplified and output from the speaker 9 to audibly display the incoming call. Further, even when an incoming call signal is sent from the central office line 2b, the same operation as above is performed to output the voice "Tanaka-san" from the speaker 9 of the button telephone 3b, thereby audibly displaying the incoming call.

In this way, according to this embodiment, the user's name is audibly displayed from the key telephone that received the call.
As in the first embodiment, even when a plurality of key telephones are installed adjacent to each other, it is possible to easily and reliably determine which key telephone has received a call.

In this embodiment, the name is audibly displayed by voice, but the extension number may also be audibly displayed by voice. Also, when an extension call is received, the name is audibly displayed by voice. I can do it. In addition, the audio storage circuit 1
2 may be provided on the side of each button telephone 3a, 3b.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, when a call is received from each key telephone, the voice sending means displays information such as the extension number of the key telephone that received the call, or the name of the key telephone user, etc. when a call is received from another key telephone. allows for different sounds to be transmitted and displayed audibly. Therefore, even when a plurality of key telephones are installed adjacent to each other, it is possible to easily and reliably determine to which key telephone the call is being received.
