Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a telephone device used in a car telephone or the like. [Summary of the invention] The present invention relates to a telephone device, and provides a switch means in a part of the handset or in the middle of the signal cable to control the telephone call, thereby making it possible to easily control the telephone call. [Prior Art] For example, car telephones have conventionally used the same handset-type handset as in general telephone equipment. However, it is difficult to downsize such a handset-type device, and the user has to hold it in his/her hand when making a call, which may interfere with driving. Therefore, a headphone/earphone type device was devised in which the handset is held by the user's head or ear. However, in this case, unlike conventional handset-type devices, the handset cannot be placed on a so-called hook, so control at the beginning and end of a call must be controlled using, for example, an operating switch provided on the main body of the telephone device. It must be made. For this reason, the user must reach out toward the main unit to perform the controls, and performing such operations while driving may interfere with driving operations. and is extremely dangerous. In addition, when making a call, the user must first search for the receiver such as an earphone, then search for the operation switch and operate it. When responding to a call from someone, it may take a long time to answer, or there is a high risk of causing discomfort to the other party. [Problems to be solved by the invention] As mentioned above, with the conventional technology, when using a headphone/earphone type device, the control of calls becomes complicated and calls cannot be easily made. There was a problem. [Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has a handset (earphone 1) that is held on the head or ear of the user, and a part of the handset or a wired cable that supplies signals to the handset. This is a telephone device in which a switch means 5 is provided in the middle of the telephone line 3, and the telephone call is controlled by this switch means. [Function] According to this, since the handset and the switch means are integrated, the user can operate the switch while wearing the handset, and can control calls extremely easily. [Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows a case in which the present invention is applied to a so-called ear-hook type earphone, in which an earphone 1 serving as a telephone receiver is held in the user's ear by an ear-hook 2. A microphone 4 serving as a transmitter is provided in the middle of the wired cable 3 that supplies signals to the earphone 1, and the microphone 4 is placed so as to be near the user's mouth when the earphone 1 is worn. In the earphone 1 described above, a push button switch 5 is provided on the opposite side of the sound emitting means, and by operating this switch 5, a call is controlled. Note that a predetermined protrusion is provided around the switch 5 to form a misoperation prevention ring 6. In this way, a call is made via the earphone 1 and the microphone 4. According to the above-mentioned device, a switch 5 is provided in a part of the earphone 1,
Since the call is controlled by the switch 5, the user can control the call immediately after putting on the receiver, and can make the call very easily. Furthermore, it can be operated extremely safely even while driving. Note that the earphone 1 is not limited to the above-mentioned ear hook type, but can also be applied to one that is inserted into the ear opening and held, or a so-called headphone type device that uses a headband. The detection of the operation of the switch 5 may be provided separately from the signal line to the earphone 1 as shown in FIG. 2A and B, or in parallel with the voice coil of the earphone 1 as shown in FIG. 2C. A normally open switch may be provided to detect a voice coil short, or a normally closed switch may be provided in series to detect an open state, as shown in FIG. Furthermore, a method of controlling a call using the earphone switch 5 described above is performed as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3, for example. In other words, in the figure, when making a call, the caller's number is first entered in step [1], and then the above-mentioned earphone switch 5 or a switch (not shown) provided on the main body is operated in step [2]. It is determined whether or not it was done. When the switch is operated, it is further determined in step [3] whether it is the earphone switch 5 or the main body switch, and if it is the earphone switch 5, a signal is supplied to the earphone 1 in step [4]. , the call is started. Further, in step [5], it is determined whether or not the earphone switch 5 has been operated again, and if it has been operated again, the call is terminated in step [6]. If it is the main body switch in step [3], the call is started in step [7] and the voice is also emitted from a speaker (not shown). Then, in step [8], turn on the earphone switch 5.
The operation is judged and the step is executed when the operation is performed.

At [9], the speaker is turned off and the process proceeds to the above-mentioned step [5]. Furthermore, if the earphone switch 5 is not operated in step [8], the operation of an end switch (not shown) provided on the main body is determined in step [10], and if it is not operated, the process returns to step [8] and , when operated, the process proceeds to the above-mentioned step [6]. As a result, when the earphone switch 5 is operated in a state where the number has been set and the earphone switch 5 is not in a talking state, it becomes a "call" and the operation of transmitting and receiving calls is performed. If you operate the device while the speaker is operating during a call, the device will switch from the speaker to the handset. If you operate the handset during a call, the call will be ended. etc. can be controlled. [Effects of the invention] According to this invention, since the handset and switch means are integrated, the user can operate the switch while wearing the handset, making it extremely easy to control calls. Now I can do it.
