[0003]
Here, a plurality of music on hold data is stored in advance in the memory 13 of the parent device A and the memory 23 of the child device B.
The memory 14 of the parent device A and the memory 24 of the child device B store on-hold tone designation data for designating the holding tone selected by the child device B. Normally, the hold tone designation data is address designation data for designating the addresses of the memories 13 and 23.
That is, the holding tone stored at the address specified by the memory 14 and the memory 24 is read from the memory 13 and the memory 23 and transmitted. The hold tone designation data can be rewritten by a hold tone selection operation in the handset B.
[0004]
FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a conventional slave unit holding operation.
In order to make the slave device B and the outside line transition to the hold state in a state where a call is in progress, the slave device B operates the slave device operation unit 25 to perform a hold operation.
The CPU 20 transmits a hold request command to the parent device A via the wireless communication unit 21. When receiving the hold request command via the wireless communication unit 11, the CPU 10 of the base unit A extracts the hold sound data from the memory 13 in accordance with the hold sound designation data stored in the memory 14, and via the line control unit 17. A hold sound is sent to the line 18. At the same time, the CPU 10 transmits a hold transition command to the child device B via the wireless communication unit 11.
When the CPU 20 receives the hold transition command via the wireless communication unit 21, the CPU 20 extracts the hold sound data from the memory 23 in accordance with the hold sound designation data stored in the memory 24 and causes the speaker to ring the hold sound via the sound source unit 22. Transition to the handset hold state.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Thus, when the cordless handset performs the hold operation, the hold tone sent to the outside line and the hold tone sent from the speaker of the cordless handset are set so that the same hold tone flows.
Therefore, when setting the hold sound on the handset side, it is necessary to change the hold sound setting data in the memory 14 on the base side by linking with the base unit.
However, there is a problem that such a setting change operation cannot be performed while the base unit is being used.
[0006]
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a setting state of the on-hold tone designation data storage memories 14 and 24 of the master unit A and the slave unit B.
In this case, the setting is performed by selecting the holding tone designated fourth in the memory 13 and the memory 23 on both the parent device side and the child device side. Here, if for any reason, either the master unit A or the slave unit B is reset and the setting data is initialized to the first hold sound on the slave unit side, the master unit side and the slave unit side And the stored music on hold designation data are different.
[0007]
When the slave unit hold operation as shown in FIG. 4 is performed in this state, there is a problem that the hold tone ringing by the slave unit and the hold tone transmitted from the master unit to the line are different. .
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and when the hold operation is performed in the slave unit, the hold tone sent to the line side is different from the hold tone ringed from the slave unit. The aim is to provide no telephone.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention comprises a master unit having a first memory storing a plurality of holding sounds for sending an outside line, and a slave unit having a second memory storing a plurality of holding sounds for sending a receiver. In the telephone which sends out one on-hold tone selected from the plurality of on-hold sounds stored in the first memory during the hold, one of the plurality of on-hold sounds stored in the second memory is transmitted to the slave unit. A third memory for setting a holding sound designation data for selecting one, and an operation means for adding the holding tone designation data to a hold request command and sending it to the parent device at the time of a hold request, Selection means is provided for selecting a holding tone in the first memory based on the holding tone designation data sent from the slave unit.
The on-hold tone designation data can designate the same on-hold tone for the on-hold tone stored in the first memory and the on-hold tone stored in the second memory.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a telephone according to the present invention.
In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same part as the conventional structure shown in FIG. 3, and the detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.
The difference from the configuration of the conventional telephone shown in FIG. 3 is that the master unit does not have a storage tone designation data storage memory, and the specification of the hold tone transmitted to the outside line is all made from the slave unit. Is a point.
A plurality of music-on-hold data is stored in advance in the memory 13 on the parent device side and the memory 23 on the child device side. The memory 24 on the side of the slave unit stores hold tone designation data for designating the hold tone selected by the hold tone selection operation in the slave unit. This data can be rewritten by a holding tone selection operation on the handset side.
[0010]
FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a hold operation in the telephone set of FIG.
In order to make a transition to the hold state during a call of the slave unit, the slave unit operation unit 25 performs a hold operation.
The CPU 20 adds the hold sound designation data to the hold request command via the wireless communication unit 21 and transmits it to the parent device. Note that the hold tone designation data is stored in the memory 24, and the CPU 20 executes an operation of reading this and adding it to the hold request command.
[0011]
When the CPU 10 of the master unit receives this command via the wireless communication unit 11, it extracts the on-hold tone designation data added, extracts the on-hold tone data from the memory 13 according to this data, and sends it to the line 18 via the line control unit 17. Send music on hold. At the same time, the CPU 10 transmits a hold transition command to the slave unit via the wireless communication unit 11.
When the CPU 20 of the slave unit receives the hold transition command via the wireless communication unit 21, the CPU 20 extracts the hold tone data from the slave unit memory 23 according to the hold tone designation data stored in the memory 24. A hold sound is emitted from the speaker to shift to the handset hold state.
[0012]
In this way, all the hold sounds designated in the hold operation from the slave unit to the external line are taken out from the memory 13 and the memory 23 according to the hold tone designation data stored in the memory 24 on the slave unit side.
Therefore, even if the telephone state changes from a handset hold state to an external line extension extension call or the like, the hold sound sent to the line does not change.
In this way, the on-hold tone designation data stored in the memory 24 designates the same on-hold tone for the on-hold tone stored in the base-side memory 13 and the on-hold tone stored in the slave-side memory 23. To work.
[0013]
【The invention's effect】
As described in detail based on the above embodiments, in the present invention, the holding sound on the master unit side and the slave unit side is read and transmitted according to the contents of the hold tone designation data storage memory provided only on the slave unit side. Therefore, setting operations such as changing the hold sound from the slave unit are possible even when the master unit is being used.
Further, it is not necessary to store the holding tone designation data separately on the base unit side. In addition, the problem that the hold sound ringed by the slave unit and the hold sound sent to the line are inconsistent is solved.
