ISDN communication control unit and control method
First Claim
1. A communication control unit for an ISDN, provided within a terminal for carrying out data communication including voice data communication with another terminal through the ISDN, comprising:
- a data communication adapter for transmitting and receiving voice data to and from the ISDN; and
a voice adapter for receiving voice data received from the ISDN through the data communication adapter and storing the received voice data in a memory device;
said voice adapter including;
memory control means for determining whether received voice data is (i) within a first predetermined range so as to be valid voice data, or (ii) outside of the first predetermined range so as to be voiceless data, further determining whether the voiceless data is within a second predetermined range so as to be valid voiceless data, and storing in said memory device only the voice data which has been determined to be the valid voice data and the valid voiceless data.

Abstract
A communication control unit for integrated service digital network (ISDN) is disclosed. The ISDN communication control unit includes a data communication adapter for transmitting and receiving data to and from the ISDN and a voice adapter for transmitting and receiving voice data received from the ISDN, through the data communication adapter. The voice adapter includes a memory for storing voice data, a compression and expansion circuit for voice data, a temporary storage circuit for voice data, a monitor unit for voice data, a communication path change-over circuit for changing over a communication path between said temporary storage circuit, said monitor circuit and the ISDN, and a control unit for controlling these. A communication path is changed over by the communication path change-over circuit, to mutually transmit and receive voice data between the temporary storage circuit, the monitor circuit and the ISDN.

3. A communication control unit for an ISDN provided within a terminal for carrying out data communication including voice data communication with another terminal through a channel D for a control signal and channels B1 and B2 for information of the ISDN, the communication adapter control unit comprising:
-
a data communication adapter for transmitting and receiving data to and from the ISDN, the data communication adapter including, means for analyzing contents of the channel D received from said ISDN, deciding whether the received data is voice data or data other than voice data and deciding whether the channel used for receiving data is the channel B1 or the channel B2, and switching means for changing over a destination of inputted data in accordance with a result of said decision; and a voice adapter for receiving voice data received from the ISDN through said data communication adapter and storing the received data in a memory device, the voice adapter including, monitor means for monitoring the voice data, temporary storage means for temporarily storing the voice data, communication path selection means for selecting a communication path to allow transmission and reception of the voice data (i) between said communication adapter and said monitor means and, (iii) between said monitor means and said voice data temporary storage means, respectively, and memory control means for determining whether the receiving voice data is (i) within a first predetermined range so as to be valid voice data, or (ii) outside of the first predetermined range so as to be voiceless data, further determining whether the voiceless data is within a second predetermined range so as to be valid voiceless data, and storing in said memory device only the voice data which has been determined to be the valid voice data and the valid voiceless data.
