  • Telephone on-hook and off-hook sensing systems
    Patent number: 5835585
    Abstract: Hook conditions of a handset of a telephone apparatus which includes a telephone apparatus base having an inside and an outside are sensed by providing a beam of radiation outside of that telephone apparatus base. The handset is placed in that beam of radiation outside the telephone apparatus base in an on-hook condition of that handset on the telephone apparatus base. An off-hook condition of the handset is signaled by removing that handset from that beam of radiation while removing such handset from the telephone apparatus base. A method of preventing eavesdropping through microphone and earphone of a handset of a telephone apparatus opens a circuit of either the microphone or the earphone and short-circuits either the earphone or the microphone, respectively while the handset is on-hook on a base of that telephone.
