Definitions
- the present invention relates to a novel apparatus which functionally combines a cordless telephone and an automatic telephone answering apparatus.
- an object of the present invention to provide a cordless telephone, wherein a portable unit is set in the off-hook state when a base unit (a base-side telephone) calls the portable unit upon reception of an incoming call from a calling party or an automatic telephone answering/recording means (to be referred to as a TAD hereinafter) coupled to the base unit is started, thereby variously controlling the TAD while communication between a called party and the calling party is established.
- a base unit a base-side telephone
- An advantage of the present invention is that a conventional cordless telephone is functionally combined with an automatic telephone answering apparatus to operate the TAD functionally operated with the base unit for a preset period of time, and the portable unit is set in the off-hook state for the preset period of time, thereby arbitrarily controlling driving of an outgoing or incoming message recording unit in the TAD.
- the present invention thus widens a range of practical application of an apparatus of this type.
- a cordless telephone with an automatic telephone answering/recording function comprising a base unit incorporating an automatic telephone answering means for sending an outgoing message and recording an incoming message, and a portable unit.
- the cordless telephone comprises a ringing circuit.
- the ringing circuit constitutes an engaging circuit upon reception of a predetermined number of ringing tones from a calling party.
- a timer means When the portable unit is kept in the off-hook state for a preset period of time while the outgoing message is being sent from the automatic telephone answering means, a timer means generates an output.
- An outgoing message inhibiting circuit stops generating the outgoing message from the automatic telephone answering means in response to the output from the timer means.
- a manual selection switch is arranged in a recording circuit for recording an incoming message signal from the calling party in the automatic telephone answering means and in parallel with a recording circuit disabling means.
- the recording circuit disabling means disables the recording circuit.
- the manual selection switch is turned on to record conversation in the automatic telephone answering apparatus when the portable unit is set in the off-hook state during recording of the incoming message. Special modes of the automatic telephone answering apparatus can be controlled by the intercom function call button of the portable unit.
- FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram showing the main part of a cordless telephone according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram of a timer of FIG. 1 and a controller associated therewith.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show a cordless telephone according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- Reference numeral 1 denotes a cordless telephone set having an automatic telephone answering/recording function.
- the cordless telephone 1 is a base unit, i.e., a base station.
- Reference symbol TAD denotes a section for sending an outgoing message and recording an incoming message in the base unit 1.
- Reference symbols L1 and L2 denote telephone lines; and 2, a tone ringer circuit (e.g., a PSB6520 available from Siemens Components, Inc., U.S.A.) for generating a tone in response to a ringing signal.
- a tone ringer circuit e.g., a PSB6520 available from Siemens Components, Inc., U.S.A.
- the tone ringer circuit 2 comprises a bridge diode 2-1 for rectifying the ringing signal received through a capacitor C1 and a resistor R1, a capacitor C2 for smoothing an output from the bridge diode 2-1, and a tone generator 2-2 for alternately generating two tone frequencies and driving a loudspeaker SP.
- Reference numeral 3 denotes a rectifying/smoothing circuit for converting to a DC signal a tone signal generated from the tone ringer circuit 2; 4, a Schmitt trigger circuit for waveshaping the DC signal; 5, a bell number counter for counting the number of bells, i.e., the number of tones generated in response to the ringing signal; and 6, a bell number generator including a digital switch for setting the bell number to be a predetermined value.
- the bell number generator 6 generates a signal of logic "1" at the predetermined bell number count. When the bells are interrupted, the count of the counter 5 is reset to the initial value.
- Reference numeral 7 denotes an engaging/answering/recording controller including an incoming message recording/reproducing means (not shown) with an outgoing message recording medium, an incoming message recording/reproducing means (not shown) with an incoming message recording medium, and a control circuit (not shown) for controlling the operating states of the outgoing and incoming recording/reproducing means and of an engaging relay Y-1.
- the controller 7 is started in response to an output from the counter 5 and drives the relay Y-1 to send the outgoing message onto the telephone lines, thereby controlling engagement, answering and recording of the incoming message from the calling party.
- the outgoing and incoming message recording/reproducing means may comprise an IC memory.
- Reference numeral 7-1 denotes a variable timer having a preset time of 0 to several seconds (e.g., 4 seconds).
- a portable unit 12 (to be described later) is set in the off-hook state, a contact y2-2 of a relay Y-2 is set at the illustrated position, and the timer 7-1 is started. Thereafter, when the portable unit 12 is kept in the off-hook state for longer than the preset several seconds and the contact y2-2 is kept on for the preset period of time, an output from the timer 7-1 is supplied to the controller 7, thereby stopping the outgoing message. More specifically, as shown in FIG.
- variable timer 7-1 comprises a charge/discharge circuit of resistors R12 and R13, a capacitor C10 and diodes D10 and D11, which is connected to a power source +B.
- the variable timer 7-1 is connected to a reset terminal R of a flip-flop FF-1 in the controller 7 through the normally OFF diode D10.
- An output terminal Q of the flip-flop FF-1 is connected to an outgoing message recording medium drive motor M1 through a resistor R10 and a transistor TR-1.
- reference symbol CP denotes a detection contact for a start point of the outgoing message recording medium.
- Reference numeral 7-2 denotes a manual selection switch connected between a fixed terminal of a contact y2-3 in the relay Y-2 and an input terminal IN of the controller 7.
- the manual selection switch 7-2 selectively disables the incoming message recording means (not shown) in the controller 7 or causes the recording means to continue recording of conversation between the called party and the calling party when the portable unit 12 is set in the off-hook state and the normally closed contact y2-3 in the relay Y-2 is opened during recording of the incoming message in the incoming message recording medium of the automatic telephone answering apparatus.
- Reference numeral 8 denotes a hybrid transformer; 9, a transmitter; and 10, a receiver.
- the transmitter 9 transmits a tone from the tone ringer circuit 2 through an antenna 11 to call the portable unit 12 upon reception of an incoming call.
- a detection switch 12-2 synchronized with the off-hook operation of the portable unit 12 is held in a "closed" position P1.
- the receiver 10 is operated to close a totally open contact y2-1 of the relay Y-2 to form an engaging circuit.
- the transmitter 9 transmits to the portable unit 12 an incoming message sent through the telephone lines L1 and L2 after communication between the called and calling parties is established.
- the receiver 10 receives a speech signal from the portable unit 12 and sends it onto the telephone lines L1 and L2.
- the portable unit 12 comprises a call button 12-1.
- the call button 12-1 When the call button 12-1 is depressed, it generates a special signal.
- the receiver 10 operates a relay Y-3 in response to the special signal.
- the ringing signal When a ringing signal is received from a calling party through the telephone lines L1 and L2, the ringing signal is supplied to the tone ringer circuit 2 through the capacitor C1 and the resistor R1.
- the tone from the tone ringer circuit 2 is rectified by the bridge diode 2-1 and smoothed by the capacitor C2.
- the smoothed signal is supplied to the tone generator 2-2 which then generates a tone output.
- the tone output is emitted by the low-power loudspeaker SP.
- the tone output is converted to the DC signal which is waveshaped by the Schmitt trigger circuit 4.
- the waveshaped signal is supplied to the bell number counter 5.
- the tone output from the tone ringer circuit 2 is also supplied to the portable unit 12 through the transmitter 9.
- a preset number in the bell number generator 6 is set to be "5".
- the detection switch 12-2 is switched from a "wait" position P2 to the "closed” position P1, and the relay Y-2 in the receiver 10 is held operative.
- An engaging state is established through the normally open contact y2-1 and the primary winding of the hybrid transformer 8. In this state, the tone is stopped, no output is generated from the bell number counter 5, and the engaging/answering/recording controller 7 is kept off. Therefore, communication between the called party and the calling party is established.
- the detection switch 12-2 When the portable unit 12 is set in the on-hook state after completion of conversation, the detection switch 12-2 is held in the "wait" position P2. The relay Y-2 in the receiver 10 is deenergized. When a normally open contact y1-1 is already opened by the contact y2-1, the engaging state is cancelled. As a result, the cordless telephone 1 is set in the waiting state.
- an incoming message recording medium (not shown) is driven to record the incoming message from the calling party through contacts y3-1 and y2-3 and the input terminal IN of the controller 7.
- a known VOX circuit is used to check whether or not a timer (not shown) counts the preset period of time. When the timer has counted the preset period of time, the incoming message recording medium is stopped and the system is held in the waiting state.
- the relay Y-2 When the portable unit 12 is set in the off-hook state during sending of the outgoing message, the relay Y-2 is held operative, and the variable timer 7-1 is started through the contact y2-2.
- the capacitor C10 is then charged through the variable resistor R12.
- the diode D10 When the capacitor C10 is charged at a predetermined value within 4 seconds preset by the variable resistor R12, the diode D10 is turned on.
- the reset terminal R of the flip-flop FF-1 is set at a low voltage level so that the flip-flop FF-1 is reset to stop driving the outgoing message recording/reproducing means (not shown).
- a magnetic recording tape is used for an outgoing message, the tape is stopped and is rewound to the start point by a known means.
- the voice of the calling party is overlapped by the hybrid transformer 8 on the outgoing message having a low level and can be heard at the portable unit 12. If the called party wishes to talk with the calling party, the portable unit 12 is kept in the off-hook state after several seconds preset by the variable timer 7-1 have elapsed, thereby interrupting the outgoing message and establishing communication between the called party and the calling party. However, when the called party sets the portable unit 12 in the off-hook state but does not wish to talk with the calling party, the portable unit 12 is set in the on-hook state within a few seconds to deenergize the relay Y-2.
- the timer 7-1 is kept inoperative, and the outgoing message reproducing means (not shown) is not interrupted but is continuously driven (in this case, if the off-hook operation is performed again and then the on-hook operation is performed before the timer 7-1 is started, the monitor operation can be repeated). Therefore, the calling party does not hear the off-hook operation by the called party and records his own incoming message after hearing the outgoing message.
- the outgoing message reproducing means comprises a tape
- the tape must be rewound to the start position after the system is set in the waiting mode.
- the contact y2-3 is opened.
- the selection switch 7-2 is kept “ON"
- the input terminal IN of the controller 7 is continuously connected to the hybrid transformer 8 irrespective of the operating state of the contact y2-3.
- Speech signals from the calling and called parties are supplied to the input terminal IN of the controller 7 to operate a recording means (not shown) by a known built-in VOX circuit (not shown), so that conversation can be recorded without limiting the recording time.
- the selection switch 7-2 is held in the "OFF" position, when the contact y2-3 is opened, supply of speech signals to the terminal IN is stopped.
- the recording medium is stopped by the VOX circuit within a few seconds, and conversation will no longer be recorded.
- the voice of the calling party can be monitored at the portable unit 12 during sending of the outgoing message.
- the portable unit 12 is set in the off-hook state, even in a switching system wherein a lockout tone or dial tone is not immediately generated, the outgoing message will not be sent onto the telephone lines.
- the hybrid transformer 8 connected to the telephone lines L1 and L2 is unbalanced, so that the outgoing message is heard at a different tone of high level. In this case, the called party can know that the calling party has already hung up the phone.
- the intercom function button 12-1 When the intercom function button (to be referred to as a call button hereinafter) 12-1 is depressed at the portable unit 12, the following function can be performed.
- the call button 12-1 in the portable unit 12 is depressed during sending of the outgoing message, a special tone is transmitted from the portable unit 12 and received by the receiver 10.
- the special tone is detected by a filter (not shown) to keep energizing the relay Y-3.
- Operations such as remote control operation for controlling the incoming message recording medium and memo recording for recording a memo on the incoming message recording medium from the portable unit 12 can be performed in accordance with the operating states of the contacts of the relay Y-3. For example, when the portable unit 12 calls the base unit 1 through the contacts y3-1 and y3-2, the path of the speech signal is changed and only the incoming message recording medium is driven to record the memo from the portable unit 12, thereby increasing the functions of the system.
