〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a system configuration using the remote control device for telephone terminals of the present invention. 1st
As shown in the figures and FIG.
The infrared detector 2 is composed of a dial signal generator 4, a dial signal storage memory 5, an infrared waveform storage memory 6, a small microphone 7, a small speaker 8, a microphone 9, a speaker 10, a mode switch 11, and a power supply circuit 12. The small microphone 7 receives an infrared signal transmitted from the remote control 17.
and a small speaker 8 are used to detect the sound generated from the handset 15 and output the sound to the handset 15.

Next, the operation of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be explained. The operation of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is divided into a preparation operation, an incoming call operation, and a calling operation.

(a) Preparation Operation Since the handset 15 is removed from the telephone terminal 14 and attached to the remote control device 1, the telephone terminal 14 is in an off-hook state. Therefore, the control circuit 3 controls the loop circuit 13 to put it in an on-hook state (.

Furthermore, in order to operate the remote control attachment 1 using the remote control 17, it is necessary to store various waveforms of the infrared signal S transmitted from the remote control 17 in the infrared waveform storage memory 6 within the remote control attachment 1. For this purpose, first set the mode switch 11 to the infrared waveform storage mode, press the channel buttons O to 9 and the mute button, etc. of the general TV remote control 17, and record each waveform of the generated infrared signal S with the infrared detector 2. Detection and control circuit 3
The data is written into the infrared waveform storage memory 6 via the infrared waveform storage memory 6. here,
The number of infrared waveforms required to control the telephone terminal 14 is stored in the infrared waveform storage memory 6.

(b) Incoming call operation The incoming call operation is executed by setting the mode switch 11 to the normal mode. In the on-hook state, when the telephone terminal 14 rings and the user of the telephone terminal 14 goes off-hook, the following process is performed. The user transmits the infrared signal S by pressing a specific button on the remote control 17 that instructs off-hook. The infrared detector 2 receives the transmitted infrared signal S, converts it into an electrical signal, and outputs it to the control circuit 3. The control circuit 3 compares the waveform of the electrical signal with a plurality of infrared waveforms stored in the infrared waveform storage memory 6 in advance, determines that the signal is requesting off-hook, and controls the loop circuit 13. to put the telephone terminal 14 in an off-hook state. This makes it possible to make a phone call using the handset 15, the small microphone 7, the small speaker 8, the microphone 9, and the speaker 10. In the case of ending the call, by pressing a specific button on the remote control 17 that instructs on-hook, the same operation as described above is performed, and the control circuit 3 controls the loop circuit 13 to put it in an on-hook state.

(C) Calling operation The calling operation is executed by setting the mode switch 11 to the normal mode. When making a call in the on-hook state, the control circuit 3 controls the loop circuit 13 to put the loop circuit 13 into the off-hook state by pressing a specific button on the remote control 17 that instructs off-hook, similar to the operation described above. When off-hook, handset 1
5 and a small microphone 7, a dial tone is emitted from a speaker 10, thereby allowing the user to confirm the off-hook state. Next, the user presses the called party's telephone number using the channel button on the remote control 17. Thereby, the control circuit 3 recognizes the telephone number of the called party using the waveform stored in the infrared waveform storage memory 6, and instructs the dial signal generator 5 to generate a dial signal of the recognized telephone number. give instructions. The dial signal generator 4 reads a dial signal corresponding to the telephone number of the called party from a dial signal storage memory 5 that stores dial signals in advance, converts it into an audio signal, and outputs it to the small speaker 8. Therefore, a push-button signal indicating the telephone number of the called party is emitted from the small speaker 8, and the handset 15
is output to the telephone circuit 16 via the telephone terminal 14 and the loop circuit 13.

Although the above embodiments have been described using a push-button type telephone terminal, the present invention is not limited thereto, and can also be applied to a dial-pulse type telephone terminal. When applying the present invention to a dial pulse type telephone terminal, for example, in the case of a calling operation,
The control circuit 3 may control the loop circuit 13 to generate a dial pulse indicating the telephone number of the called party.

In addition, in order to support both push button method and dial pulse method with one remote control device W1,
Two types of modes, a push button mode and a dial pulse mode, may be provided in the normal mode of the mode switch 11.

Furthermore, the remote control 17 is not limited to a television remote control, but may also be a video remote control or the like. Furthermore, needless to say, the remote control device 1 may be provided with a dedicated remote control.

Further, in the above embodiment, the remote control device 21 is configured to be provided separately from the telephone terminal 14, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the remote control device 1 and the telephone terminal 14 are provided separately. They may be configured in one piece.

Further, in the above embodiment, the mode switch 11 is provided in the remote control device Wl, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be configured so that the mode is set by the remote control F. Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, remote control is possible without replacing the telephone terminal currently in use. In addition, since it uses a wireless remote control,
There are no cords to get in the way for remote control. It is also possible to make calls using the remote control.
