Automatic-Switching Wireless Communication Device
First Claim
1. A communication device, comprising:
- a wireless part including a wireless transmitter and wireless receiver;
a transmitter/receiver part including a receiver circuit for processing a reception signal received by the wireless receiver and a transmitter circuit for processing a transmission signal transmitted by the wireless transmitter; and
a control part selectively connecting the wireless transmitter to the transmitter circuit and selectively connecting the wireless receiver to the receiver circuit according to a switched stand-by mode and communication mode,the control part further including a tone generator configured to output an activation tone on the transmission signal when switched to the communication mode, the activation tone automatically causing a handset receivingthe transmission signal to switch from a reception mode to a reception and transmission mode.

Abstract
A base unit and a handset comprise a wireless part, a control part, and a transmission (151) and reception part (150), respectively. Communications are switched by either of the two ways: PT switching and tone generation in the base unit, and tone detection in the handset or PTT switching in the base unit, and voice detection in the handset. It is preferable that the transmission (151) and reception (150) part of the handset includes a single transducer type headphone. It is also preferable that photo-coupler (41, 43) and a photo-switch (42) are provided at connection point of signal paths between the transmission (151) and reception part (150), the control part, and between the control part and the wireless part.

4. A communication device, comprising:
-
transmitter circuitry for transmitting a wireless transmission signal; receiver circuitry for receiving a wireless reception signal; and control circuitry selectively switching the transmitter and receiver circuitry between a stand-by mode where only the wireless receiver circuitry is operational and a communication mode where both the receiver circuitry and the transmitter circuitry are operational, the control circuitry including a tone detector that automatically causes the control circuitry to switch from the stand-by mode to the communication mode when a activation tone is detected in the reception signal. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A half-duplex wireless communication device, comprising:
-
a wireless section including a wireless receiver for receiving a wireless reception signal and a wireless transmitter for transmitting a wireless transmission signal; a transmitter/receiver section that includes a receiver section for outputting the reception signals as an audio output signal and a transmitter section for converting an audio input signal into the transmission signal supplied to the wireless transmitter; and a control section switching between a stand-by mode where the wireless receiver is coupled to the receiver section and the wireless transmitter is powered off and disconnected from the transmitter section and a communication mode where the wireless receiver is coupled to the receiver section and the wireless transmitter is powered on and coupled to the transmitter section, the control section automatically switching from the stand-by mode to the communication mode when a voice signal is detected in the transmission signal. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
