摘要:
The invention concerns a switching device for a telephone set having a handset enabling an auxiliary device to be substituted for the handset. In an embodiment, the switching device includes a casing provided with at least one compartment, the compartment being intended to receive one end of the handset. The compartment includes a switch actuated by the presence of the handset which triggers the aforementioned substitution. The invention finds application in hands-free telephoning and teleconferencing.

An interface between an alternating voice-data (AVD) modem and a telephone that allows the modem to be connected to a PBX or office-type telephone system without using special software. The user speaks and listens through the telephone handset, which is disconnected from the telephone base and connected to the interface. The interface provides an impedance across the modem "Phone" connection. The impedance simulates the off-hook condition that would normally (i.e., when the modem is connected in the conventional manner to a non-PBX telephone) be provided by the non-PBX telephone and that, absent disabling the requirement by special software, the modem requires in order to properly switch between voice mode and data mode. The interface monitors the modem "Line" connection to detect whether the modem is in an off-hook state or an on-hook state. A compensation circuit minimizes attenuation of the wake-up tone by the impedance across the "Line" connection. When the interface detects that the modem is on-hook, the interface couples the handset to the telephone base. When the interface detects that the modem is off-hook, the relay circuit disconnects the handset and couples the modem "Line" connection to the telephone base.

A method and apparatus for recording and playing back a sales presentation is disclosed. A telephone interface device is connected to a telephone base, handset and recorder to permit recordation of a sales message using the telephone mouth piece as the recorder microphone. The recorded message has the same sound quality when transmitted over the phone lines as does a normal, live transmission. Transit to and from live and recorded voice is undetected by the party hearing the sales presentation over the phone. Use of the telephone interface device and the recorded sales presentation precludes fatigue and discouragement on the part of the telemarketing sales representative in the face of repeated repetitions of the same sales message and frequent rejections by prospective customers.

A telephone line monitoring circuit for a MODEM monitors the TIP and RING lines of the telephone line. A first circuit of the monitoring circuit detects when a local phone goes off-hook while the MODEM is on-hook by sensing a decrease in a differential voltage between the TIP and RING lines. A second circuit detects the pick up of a local phone while the MODEM is off-hook by detecting a change in the impedance between the TIP and RING lines. A third circuit detects the hang up of a remote phone connected with the MODEM while the MODEM is off-hook by detecting a temporary break in the DC loop between the central office and MODEM. A snoop circuit monitors the telephone line for DTMF signals while the MODEM is on-hook. The snoop circuit becomes AC coupled to the telephone line when enabled, and does not apply a significant load to the telephone line. The monitoring circuit permits a processor to control a variety of call-related functions, including the recording of incoming voice mail messages, the logging of incoming and outgoing calls, and the blocking of outgoing calls to specified telephone numbers.

A transmission control unit for controlling transmission and reception of data between electronic devices via a telephone without any use of acoustic coupling is disclosed. The transmission control unit is equipped with a first terminal for detachably connecting a main body of the telephone, a second terminal for detachably connecting a handset removable from the main body of the telephone, and a third terminal for detachably connecting the electronic device. When the main body, the handset and the electronic device are, respectively, connected to the first, second and third terminals, the transmission control unit permits analog electronic data from the electronic device to be input to the main body of the telephone at the handset interface level, and permits analog electronic data from the main body to be sent to the electonic device.

An audio current pick-up device for use with an electric wire 6 carrying an electric current containing audio information comprises a pair of substantially identical magnetic induction coil assemblies 26, 27 disposed in parallel to each other with an axial deviation and orthogonally to the wire, each coil means including a magnetic core in the form of rod 30, 38 and a pair of induction coils 32A, 32B, 39A, 39B wound in opposite directions on respective halves of its core rod. An output of either of the induction coils is phase-shifted by a preset amount and composited with an output of the other magnetic induction coil to form a sound pick-up signal from which a sound output signal is derived.

An apparatus for connecting a telecommunications device, such as a computer or facsimile machine modem, to a telephone line via a telephone set. The telephone set includes a base and a handset connected to the base by a handset cord. The handset cord has at one end a handset plug and the base has a base jack for receiving the handset plug. The apparatus selectively electrically couples one of the handset and the telecommunications device to the base. The apparatus includes a first plug for electrically coupling with the base jack, a first jack for electrically coupling with the handset plug, and the second jack for electrically coupling with the telecommunications device connecting plug. A switch, manually selectable between a first position and a second position, electrically couples the first plug with the first jack when in the first position. A converter is coupled to the switch and the second jack such that when the switch second position is selected, the switch electrically interfacing the first plug with the second jack.
