Telephone system and bell sound detecting method thereof
First Claim
1. A telephone system comprising:
- a corded telephone set having the CODEC function for converting a digital signal inputted from a digital line to an analog signal;
a cordless telephone set having a talk switch;
a relay lifter; and
a bell sound detector for detecting a non-electrical vibration of a bell sound in said corded telephone set, wherein said relay lifter comprises;
a hook switch ON/OFF unit for providing ON/OFF control over a hook switch of said corded telephone set according to a first control signal responding to said talk switch of said cordless telephone set;
a voice switching unit for switching connection of an aural signal between a corded telephone set and said cordless telephone set according to a second control signal responding to said talk switch of said cordless telephone set, wherein the operating of said talk switch of said cordless telephone set turns ON or OFF said hook switch of said corded telephone set, and said voice switching unit switches connection of an aural signal from said corded telephone set to said cordless telephone set; and
a detection signal transfer unit coupled to said bell sound detector for transferring a detection signal from said bell sound detector to said cordless telephone set when an incoming call is received, wherein said cordless telephone set compares a voltage waveform pattern of a detection signal over time to a predetermined waveform pattern and outputs a bell sound from said cordless telephone set when said comparison differentiates a bell sound pattern.

11. A bell sound detecting method comprising the steps of:
- a first step for obtaining a voltage waveform pattern of a detection signal from a vibration sensor detecting vibration near a speaker of a corded telephone set, a second step for comparing a voltage waveform pattern of said detection signal over time to a specified waveform pattern, and a third step for determining a voltage waveform pattern as a bell sound if said voltage waveform of said detection signal is the same as said specified waveform pattern, and a fourth step of causing a bell sound to be output at a handset of a cordless telephone set.
