Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a telephone device and its integration into the telephone system.

Description of the embodiment

The schematic illustration of FIG. 1 shows a telephone apparatus 1 which consists of a base station 3, a hearing telephony device 4 and a switching apparatus 8. The hearing / speaking device 4 is in turn composed of a mobile station 5 and headphones with a microphone 7 , which are connected to one another via a cable 6 . Furthermore, a telephone system 2 , which has connections to a fixed network 9 and a radio network 10 , is shown. The telephone system 2 is equipped, among other things, with a handset 11 , control panels 12 , connection sockets 13 , 23 and a foot switch 25 .

The telephone device 1 is connected to the telephone system 2 via a voice connection 14 , which leads from the connection socket 13 into the base station 3 . Furthermore, there can be control connections 15 , 24 between the switching device 8 and the telephone system 2 if the telephone device 1 is also to be connected to the radio network 10 . The switching device 8 is connected to the base station 3 via a connection 16 . Furthermore, the switching device has 8 outputs 17 , on which peripheral devices 26 , such as. B. a sound recorder 18 or an alarm 19 , may be connected.

5 transmit pulses can be sent to the base station 3 from the mobile part via the transmit buttons 20 , 21 , 22 . The transmission pulses are received by the base station 3 and evaluated with the aid of software 28 and passed on to the switching device via the connection 16 . The software 28 stored in the base station 3 can be programmed via an interface 27 . Now z. For example, if the transmit button 20 is configured as a PTT button (PTT buttons are buttons that must be pressed by the speaker during radio operation in order to hold the channel), the base station 3 receives a continuous signal from the mobile station 5 that its software 28 recognized and interpreted as a PTT signal. The software 28 then transmits a signal to the switching device 8 via the connection 16 , which for example causes the closing of one of the contacts brought up via the control lines 15 or 24 and thus corresponds to the pressing of the foot switch 25 . The release of the PTT switch 20 causes then an opening of the contact in the switching device 8, which in turn corresponds to a relief of the foot switch.

If the radio connection between the mobile station 5 and the base station 3 is only designed as a single-channel connection, then it is also possible to control further functions via the transmit button 20 . For example, in the presence of a single-channel connection between the mobile station 5 and the base station 3 , the transmit button 20 can be used as a PTT button, which is held down whenever the user of the telephone set speaks in the radio network 10 , and further it can be used as Start-stop button can be used for the sound recorder 18 . The start-stop commands for the sound recording device 18 are then carried out as a so-called double-click (pressing the send button twice, in quick succession). In this case, the software 28 ensures the detection of the signals and controls the relevant outputs 17 via the connection 16 .

If there is a multi-channel connection between the mobile station 5 and the base station 3 , then multiple assignment of the send button 20 is not necessary, but further functions can be assigned to the send buttons 21 , 22 . For example, an alarm 19 can be triggered via the send button 22 .

When the hearing-speaking device 4 is switched to voice control by means of a transmission button 20 , 21 , 22 , the language transmitted by the hearing-speaking device 4 to the base station 3 is interpreted with the aid of the software 28 after the switchover. B. "Stop" or "play" are converted into switching pulses that control the sound recorder 18 via the switching device 8 . If the sound recorder is suitably e.g. B. is connected to the base station via the voice connection 14 , then the sound recording can be listened to via the hearing / speaking device. By repeatedly pressing the send button 20 , 21 , 22 , the voice control is switched off again, so that, for. B. a phone call can be continued.
