Abstract

The communication switching device provides the plugin of a mobile communication device so that the mobile communication device is charged while plugged in. The mobile communication device has a signal transmission port. The communication switching device is also connected to the public switching telephone network and one or more telephone sets. As such, when the mobile communication device is plugged into the communication switching device for charging, the function of the mobile communication device is extended to the telephone sets through the communication switching device. A user can pick up an incoming call or make an outgoing call through the mobile communication device using any telephone set.

Claims
