In the base station 1, 4 is a melody generation circuit that generates several hold melodies to the other party during a call, 5 is a control circuit that controls each part of the base station 1, and 6 is housed in the melody generation circuit 4. a slide switch for setting a desired song from among several songs; 7 is a receiving circuit for receiving incoming signals from the mobile station 2; and 8 is for transmitting outgoing signals from the telephone line to the mobile station 2. 9 is a transmission circuit, 9 is a communication circuit for transmitting audio signals to or from the telephone line, and 10 is an antenna.

In the mobile station 2, 11 is a receiver, 12 is a microphone, 13 is a low frequency amplification circuit that sends an audio signal to the receiver 11, 14 is a receiving circuit, 15 is a low frequency amplification circuit that amplifies the audio signal from the microphone 12, 16 is a transmitting circuit, 17 is an antenna, 18 is a power switch, and 19 is a mobile station 2.
20 is a rechargeable battery that is a power source for the mobile station 2, and 21 is an operation unit for inputting calls, dialing signals, etc.

Next, the operation of the conventional example will be explained. The melody generation circuit 4 is normally capable of generating several pending melodies, and which song to send is determined by the slide switch 6.
Selected by. While the call is on hold, the melody generation circuit 4
Then, the hold melody selected by the slide switch 6 is sent to the other party through the telephone line.

As described above, in the conventional cordless telephone device, when the user sets a hold melody, the user sets the hold melody by switching the slide switch 6 provided at the base station 1.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in conventional cordless telephone devices, switches for setting various functions of the base station are often placed on the side or bottom of the base station. There was a problem with poor operability when setting. Furthermore, since the mobile station does not know the status of the base station's function settings, there is a problem in that if the settings are incorrect, the cordless telephone device will not operate properly.

The present invention solves these conventional problems, and allows base station function settings to be made by operating buttons on the mobile station.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a cordless telephone device in which the status of the function settings of the base station can be checked by displaying the display circuit provided in the mobile station.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a base station with a memory means for storing the states of various function settings, and also sets a mobile station with the contents of the memory means of the base station. It is equipped with an operating means for changing the information.

The present invention also provides a mobile station with a display means for displaying the status of function settings of the base station, and displays the set contents on the mobile station by operating the mobile station.

Effects The present invention has the following effects due to the above structure. In other words, when checking the status of the base station's function settings, the content of the base station's function settings is displayed on the display means provided on the mobile station by operating the operation means of the mobile station. The user can check the status of the function settings from the displayed content. Furthermore, when changing the function settings of the base station, the user can check the settings in advance using the display means and then operate the mobile station to change the settings according to the user's intention.

Embodiment FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, and the same elements as in the conventional example shown in FIG. 2 are given the same reference numerals.

That is, in FIG. 1, 1 is a base station of a cordless telephone device, 2 is a mobile station, and 3 is a mobile station that connects these wirelessly and conveys control signals such as voice for telephone calls and connection signals and dial signals. It is a wireless line.

In the base station 1, 4 is a melody generation circuit that generates several hold melodies to the other party during a call, 5 is a control circuit that controls each part of the base station 1, and 7 is a reception signal from the mobile station 2. 8 is a transmitting circuit that sends outgoing signals from the telephone line to the mobile station 2, 9 is a communication circuit for transmitting voice signals to or from the telephone line, and 10 is an antenna. It is.

In the mobile station 2, 11 is a receiver, 12 is a microphone, 13 is a low frequency amplification circuit that sends an audio signal to the receiver 11, 14 is a receiving circuit, 15 is a low frequency amplification circuit that amplifies the audio signal from the microphone 12, 16 is a transmitting circuit, 17 is an antenna, 18 is a power switch, and 19 is a mobile station 2.
20 is a rechargeable battery that is a power source for the mobile station 2, and 21 is an operation unit for inputting calls, dialing signals, etc.

The base station 1 is provided with a memory circuit 22 for storing the setting state of a pending melody in place of the slide switch 6 for setting a melody in the conventional example shown in FIG. Display circuit 2 that displays the setting status of
3 is provided. Furthermore, in addition to the conventional call control and dialing buttons, the operation section 21 is additionally provided with a hold melody setting button 24 for controlling the added functions.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. When the user presses the hold melody setting button 24 on the operation unit 21, the control data is transmitted from the control circuit 19 through the transmitting circuit 16, the antenna 17, and the radio circuit 3 to the antenna 10 of the base station 1. The content of the memory circuit 22 is sent to the control circuit 5 via the receiving circuit 7 and stores the setting state of the pending melody, and the setting information is transmitted from the control circuit 5 of the base station 1 to the transmitting circuit 8,
Aerial line 10. The antenna 17 of the mobile station 2 passes through the radio line 3
, is sent to the control circuit 19 via the receiving circuit 14, and the display circuit 23 displays the setting status of the pending melody based on the information. The user can check the status of the pending melody settings from the displayed content. Next, by further pressing the hold melody setting button 24, the user registers the next melody from the melody generation circuit 4 in the memory circuit 22, its contents are rewritten, and it is displayed on the display circuit 23.

In the embodiment described above, a dedicated hold melody setting button 24 is provided on the operation unit 21, but instead of this, the dial button normally used for dialing may have the function of switching the hold melody setting. . In this case, by operating those buttons, the information is sent to the control circuit 5 through the same route as when the hold melody setting button 24 is pressed, and the contents of the memory circuit 22 that stores the setting state of the hold melody are sent. can be rewritten. When the user puts the call on hold, the melody generation circuit 4 can send a newly rewritten hold melody to the memory circuit 22 to the other party.

In this way, according to the embodiment, the function setting of the hold melody setting of the base station 1 can be set, changed, or confirmed by simply operating the buttons of the mobile station 2.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be applied to settings and confirmation of various other functions of a base station.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above examples, the present invention has the following effects.

(1) The functionality of the base station can be set by simple operation of the mobile station, improving operability.

(2) Since the status of the function settings of the base station can be confirmed on the mobile station side, it is possible to prevent malfunctions due to mistakes in the function settings of the base station.

(3) Since switches for setting functions of the base station are not required, the size of the base station can be reduced.
