  • Patent number: 6411823
    Abstract: A replaceable signal cable for connection of a specific type of cellular phone to a sound controlled or externally dialed hand-free system enables the hand-free system to be adapted for universal use on all types of cellular phones by simple selection of a proper signal cable in use. In other words, it relates more particularly to a signal cable for a hand-free system, which can be selectively replaced with ease so as to make all types of cellular phones universally adapted to one single hand-free system. The signal cable is equipped with a first connecting plug coupled with a cellular phone and a second connecting plug connected to a hand-free system. A dial-decoding IC or circuitry housed in either the first connecting plug for a cellular phone or the second connecting plug for a hand-free system is adopted according to codes set by a standard communication protocol for each type of cellular phone.

  • Patent number: 6397086
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an infrared controlled hand-free operator for cellular phones housed in a vehicle. More particularly, it is concerned with a hand-free operator which can automatically transmit an infrared signal similar to a control signal of a vehicle's audio stereo system to turn the stereo system off or mute when income signals are received by a cellular phone mounted to a vehicle. The hand-free operator thus can automatically cut off the noise sound of an audio stereo system in operation so as to make the operation of a cellular phone free of interference in a vehicle on the move.

  • Patent number: 6349223
    Abstract: A universal hand-free system for use with various types of cellular phones produced by different manufacturers is designed to operate in combination with a vehicle's audio stereo system. The hand-free system can automatically turn off a vehicle's audio stereo system when incoming signals are being received by a cellular phone and automatically turn on the audio stereo system as the cellular phone terminates its operation. It intends to improve the communication quality of a cellular phone and increase driving safety. Moreover, by means of signal cable, which can convert and discern incoming signals and signal criterion levels for various types of cellular phones produced by different manufacturers, the hand-free system can be universally applied to a variety of cellular phones.

  • Patent number: 6314179
    Abstract: A hand-free operator can be externally dialed via a dialing device. It is more particularly related to an external dialing device, which can be applied to all kinds of cellular phones. Thereby people do not have to keep telephone numbers in memory, they can make direct dials on a hand-free operator by means of telephone numbers stored in advance in a memory unit of a dialing device. It mainly houses a hand-free operator circuit and a dial processing unit in a hand-free operator embodiment that operate in collaboration with a signal cable and a dialing device (DTMF acoustic generator). It enables people to make a dial on cellular phones of all kinds via a hand-free operator without memorizing phone numbers or resorting to phone books, effectively facilitating the use of cellular phones and advancing driving safety.

  • Patent number: 6266543
    Abstract: An electronic phone book dialing system is combined with a vehicle-installed hand-free system of a cellular phone. In particular, the dialing system can automatically dial out phone numbers including an extension number stored in an electronic memory unit. A person can make use of simple code names, personal names or phonetic sounds as indexes for locating telephone numbers stored in an electronic memory unit. Thereby, a person can make a hand-free system to automatically dial out a selected phone number with an extension in response to a person's simple selection of a representing code name, personal name or phonetic sound. It can thus facilitate a person to dial a phone number in driving.

  • Patent number: 6233468
    Abstract: An improved hand-free system for use on a cellular phone, and more particularly one hand-free system can prevent an automatically-operated antenna of a vehicle's audio stereo system from being unnecessarily actuated in response to incoming signals of a cellular phone. As a cellular phone is receiving incoming signals, a vehicle's audio stereo system in operation is automatically turned off or become mute, and the received voice signals of the cellular phone are amplified and broadcast via speakers of the vehicle's audio stereo system. At the same time, the antenna of the vehicle's audio stereo system remains in its current status without being actuated till the end of the operation of a cellular phone; afterwards, the audio stereo system is automatically started again.
