Abstract

PURPOSE:To change a holding tone with replacement of a card by storing a holding tone source data onto an 1C card. CONSTITUTION:An incoming signal is detected by an incoming call detection circuit 2 via a contact 1a of a hook switch 1 in a telephone set 20 and a call tone is sounded from a speaker 3. When a handset 7 is hooked off at talking, the switch 1 is thrown to the position of a contact 1b and the talking is attained by the handset 7 via a contact 5a and a speech circuit 6. When a holding switch 10 of a control section 11 is depressed, the switch is thrown to the position of a contact 5b. Since an IC card read section 8 applies sound conversion to an IC card storing a holding sound source data, a holding tone transmission section 9 sends the sound to a line via switches 5, 1. In the case of dialing, the line is connected to a dial circuit 4 by the off-hook of the handset 7, dialing is made and the talking is attained via the switch 5 and the circuit 6 by the reply of the opposite party. When the IC card is replaced, the holding tone is easily changed.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a telephone that switches and transmits hold music.

[Prior Art] A conventional telephone that switches and transmits hold music uses a melody IC built into the telephone, a music box, or the like as a sound source. Therefore, it was only possible to send hold music with predetermined content.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The above-mentioned conventional telephone that switches and transmits hold music uses a built-in melody IC or music box as a sound source, so it is difficult to send hold music with predetermined content. However, there is a problem in that the user cannot easily change the hold music according to his/her preference.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to enable the user to easily change the hold music according to his/her preference, and to achieve this purpose. an IC card reader that reads an IC card storing hold sound source data and converts it into hold music; a hold switch that instructs to send out the hold music; and an IC card reader that converts the held sound source data depending on the switching state of the hold switch. and a control section that controls the transmission of held music.

[Example code] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of a telephone according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, the incoming call detection circuit 20 includes a handset 7
, hook switch 1 , incoming call detection circuit 2 , dial circuit 4 , hold switch 10 , switch 5 , call circuit 6 , IC card reading section 8 , hold tone sending section 9 , and control section 11 . has.

The hook switch 1 is activated by the on-hook and off-hook of the handset 7. The incoming call detection circuit 2 detects an incoming call signal from the line when the handset 7 is off-hook, and sends a ringing tone to the speaker 3. Dial circuit 4
sends out a dialing signal when the handset 7 is off-hook. The hold switch 10 turns on/off transmission of hold music. The switch 5 is switched by the hold switch 10, and when the hold switch 10 is pressed down, the switch 5 switches to the first switch.
The state is switched to the state shown by the broken line in the figure. The telephone call circuit 6 connects the other party and the handset 7 via the switch 5 and the hook switch 1 when the handset 7 is off-hook. The IC card reading unit 8 reads an IC card (not shown) in which data of a hold sound source is stored and converts it into a hold sound. The held music sending unit 9 sends out held music to the line via the switch 5 and the hook switch 1 when the hold switch 10 is pressed. The control unit 11 controls the switch 5 depending on the on/off switching state of the hold switch 10.
It also controls the hold tone sending section 9 and the entire incoming call detection circuit 20.

Next, the operation will be explained.

When the incoming call detection circuit 20 receives a call, the incoming call signal from the line is detected by the incoming call detection circuit 2 via the contact 1a of the hook switch 1, and the ringing tone is amplified by the speaker 3.

When the handset 7 is taken off-hook to make a call, the hook switch 1 is connected to the contact 1b as shown by the broken line in FIG.
The line is connected to the handset 7 via the handset 7, and the handset 7 can be used to talk.

At this point, when the hold switch 10 connected to the control section 1 is pressed in order to send out the hold tone, the switch 5 is switched to the contact point 5b indicated by a broken line under the control of the control section 11.

The IC card reading unit 8 reads an IC card (not shown) in which the data of the hold sound source is stored and converts it into a voice, so the hold sound sending unit 9
sends the hold tone from the IC card reader 8 to the line via the switch 5 and the hook switch 1.

When making a call using the incoming call detection circuit 20, when the handset 7 is taken off-hook, the hook switch 1 is connected to the contact point 1b as shown by the broken line in FIG. 1, and the line is connected to the dialing circuit 4, so that dialing begins. can do. When the other party answers, the call can be made from the handset 7 via the switch 5 and the call circuit 6.

Note that when the IC card (not shown) storing the hold sound source data is replaced in order to change the hold sound, the hold sound source data stored in the IC card is read by the IC card reader 8 and converted into audio. Therefore, by simply replacing the IC card, the user can easily change the hold music according to his/her preference.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention provides an IC that reads an IC card in which held sound source data is stored and converts it into held music.
Since the configuration includes a card reader, a hold switch for instructing the sending of hold music, and a control unit that controls the sending of the hold music converted by the IC card reader depending on the switching state of the hold switch, By exchanging the IC card in which the sound source data is stored, the user can easily change the held music according to his/her preference.
