Patent number: 4321429Abstract: An apparatus for selectively granting priority use of telephone lines to a telephone or data transmitter each connected via the telephone lines to an exchange center. Access of the data transmitted to the exchange center is typically enabled by application of DC voltage of a predetermined polarity to the telephone lines by a control circuit. A current detection circuit is provided in series with the telephone for detecting when the telephone lines are providing current to the telephone during a time when the date transmitter is transmitting or receiving data via the telephone lines. In the event that the current detection circuit detects a current component on the telephone lines to the telephone, application of power to the data transmitter is stopped and priority use of the telephone lines is granted to the telephone.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 1979Date of Patent: March 23, 1982Assignees: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki Kaisha, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Public CorporationInventors: Toshiharu Takatsuki, Ken-ichi Fujiwara, Sinobu Yanagisawa, Shigeru Okamura
