Patent number: 7430441Abstract: A channel disconnection detecting unit detects whether a voice channel is disconnected by an AG or by an HF. When the voice channel is disconnected by the AG, an AG control unit controls a modulation/demodulation unit to maintain a connection of the AG with a BS and a switching unit switches a voice signal to an AG speaker and an AG microphone. When the voice channel is disconnected by the HF, the AG control unit controls the modulation/demodulation unit to interrupt the connection of the AG with the BS.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2004Date of Patent: September 30, 2008Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Kentaro Nagahama, Toshiya Tamura

Patent number: 7174192Abstract: A radio apparatus, to be used as a first ending node of a communication network, is connectable to a hands-free apparatus by a local radio link to form a hands-free system. A call made on the hands-free apparatus for an second ending node in the communication network is sent to the radio apparatus through a control channel on the local radio link. The radio apparatus and the hands-free apparatus arrange a voice channel to be established on the local radio link. The call is then sent to the second ending node. In a case where no voice channel is established within a predetermined time period after arranging the voice channel, the radio apparatus cancels the call to prevent a connection between the radio apparatus and the second ending node from being kept and charged.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2004Date of Patent: February 6, 2007Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventor: Kentaro Nagahama
