Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a cordless telephone comprising a base unit connected to a telephone line and a slave unit connected to the base unit via wireless communication. The present invention relates to a cordless telephone that allows voice confirmation of a telephone number registered in correspondence with a speed dial number, one-touch dial number, etc. stored in the base unit, on the handset side by an operation from the handset side.

(Prior Art) A conventional cordless telephone has been proposed in which a base unit has a built-in memory for storing telephone numbers corresponding to speed dial numbers, one-touch dial numbers, and the like. In this case, the base unit is provided with a synthesized voice generator that converts the telephone number stored in the memory into a voice signal. Therefore, the user of the cordless telephone activates the synthesized voice generator provided in the base unit, converts the phone number stored in the memory into voice, and sends it out. It is now possible to check registered phone numbers in response to ``one-touch dial numbers'' and ``one-touch dial numbers''.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the above-mentioned cordless telephone,
If you want to make a call using a speed dial number, etc. from a handset at a location far from the base unit, but you have forgotten the phone number registered in the speed dial number, etc., you must go to the location where the base unit is installed and dial the speed dial number. There were problems such as having to confirm the registered phone number.

In other words, if you forget the phone number registered as a speed dial number, the advantage of a cordless phone, such as being able to make calls from a location far from the base phone, becomes a disadvantage. In particular, low-power types with a wide range of radio waves (outdoors with good visibility, a radius of 1
00m or more. ) cordless phones have even greater disadvantages.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to enable voice confirmation of a telephone number that corresponds to a speed dial number, one-touch dial number, etc. stored on the base unit side from the handset side. The object of the present invention is to provide a cordless telephone that can be operated on the handset side.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the cordless telephone of the present invention includes a number storage means for storing telephone numbers in association with speed dial numbers, one-touch dial numbers, etc. in the base unit;
In response to a dial confirmation command signal from the handset, a stored telephone number corresponding to a speed dial number, one-touch dial number, etc. is read out from the number storage means, and the read telephone number is converted into an audio signal. A sound generating means for outputting, and a sending means for sending the sound signal generated by the sound generating means to the handset side are provided, and a confirmation device for sending a dial confirmation command signal to the base handset to the handset. a command signal sending means; a receiving means for receiving the audio signal sent from the base unit by sending the dial confirmation command signal from the confirmation command signal sending means; and a receiving means for receiving the audio signal sent from the base unit; The apparatus is provided with a voice transmitting means for transmitting sound.

(Function) In the number storage means of the base unit, telephone numbers are stored in association with speed dial numbers, one-touch dial numbers, and the like. Further, the voice generating means reads the telephone number from the number storage means in response to a dial confirmation command signal from the handset, converts the read telephone number into an audio signal, outputs it to the transmitting means, and sends the phone number from the transmitting means to the transmitting means. It is configured to be sent to the machine side.

On the other hand, the slave unit is provided with a confirmation command signal sending means for sending a dial confirmation command signal to the base unit, and when the user operates the confirmation command signal sending means, the dial confirmation command is sent to the base unit. The signal is sent to the base unit. By sending this dial confirmation command signal, the receiving means receives the audio signal sent from the base unit, inputs the received audio signal to the audio sending means, and confirms the dialing by voice from the audio sending means. It is designed to do this.

As a result, by operating the handset, a telephone number registered in correspondence with a speed dial number, a one-touch dial number, etc. can be confirmed by voice on the handset.
