  • Patent number: 6504911
    Abstract: A telephone device that has a call subscriber telephone number detector, a memory for memorizing a plurality of call subscriber information audio signal in advance and which can memorize an arbitrary call subscriber telephone number in correspondence with a call subscriber information audio signal arbitrarily selected from the plurality of call subscriber information audio signals, a comparator for comparing whether a call subscriber telephone number detected by the call subscriber telephone number detector is coincident with a call subscriber telephone number memorized in the memory, upon coming-call, and an electroacoustic transducer to which a call subscriber information audio signal read out from the memory is supplied, wherein when it is detected by the comparator that a call subscriber telephone number detected by the call subscriber telephone number detector is coincident with a certain call subscriber telephone number memorized in the memory, a certain call subscriber information audio signal corre

  • Publication number: 20020044644
    Abstract: To enable the simple and satisfactory connection of a plurality of telephone sets, data communication devices and similar to a single telephone line. A telephone set comprises a telephone circuitry portion, connected to a telephone line via switching means; an external equipment terminal, connected to the telephone line via switching means; line capture detection means which detects capture of the telephone line by a device connected to the external equipment terminal; and control means, which causes the first switching means, to be disconnected while the line capture detection means detects line capture, causes the second switching means, to be disconnected while telephone line capture by the telephone circuitry portion is detected, and causes the switching means to all be in the connected state when neither line capture is detected.
