Abstract: An object of the invention is, in a communication apparatus connectable with a mobile (wireless) apparatus, to reduce development costs when a plurality of types of apparatuses are developed. A control circuit confirms the existence of control circuits for cordless use, and checks the number of units mounted in a facsimile apparatus, and as a result, in the case where the number of units mounted in the facsimile apparatus is not plural, the control circuit forbids the processing of a call requiring the plurality of control circuits for cordless use and performs control so that the respective functions do not operate, and in the case where the number of units mounted in the facsimile apparatus is plural, as the need arises, the control circuit executes the processing of a call requiring the plurality of control circuits for cordless use.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a telephone system which is capable of protecting privacy of a manager of a slave unit on an incoming caller telephone number as well as protecting privacy of a manager of a master unit on an incoming caller telephone number. The telephone system of the invention comprises a master unit and at least one slave unit, wherein when incoming caller telephone number data is associated with the master unit, the caller telephone number data is displayed only at the master unit and held in a history storage buffer, and when incoming caller telephone number data is associated with the slave unit, the caller telephone number data is transmitted from the master unit to the associated slave unit to be displayed at the associated slave unit as well as held in a history storage buffer.

Abstract: A communication device provided with an automatic recall function can automatically turn off the recall function when it becomes unnecessary to recall a designated distant terminal. While monitoring whether an incoming call is detected or not by an incoming call detecting portion and whether a preset time is counted up by a timer (not shown), the main control portion detects a call signal incoming over a communication line through a detecting signal of the incoming call detecting portion, compares the calling telephone number, received and demodulated by a calling party's number demodulating portion, with a distant terminal telephone number stored in a called party's number storing portion and, only when both telephone numbers match, causes an announcing portion to notify a user of having received a call from the same distant terminal being called by using the automatic recall function.
