An automatic release device for automatically releasing hold-on setting of an outside line call wherein a first telephone when having an outside line call from a second telephone and set to the hold-on state can be released from the hold-on setting by use of a sensing means detecting signals based on the hook-down at the second telephone slde. Further a transfer method for an outside line call, by using a conference call system served by Telegraph and Telephone Corporations wherein a running outside line call received from a second telephone by a first telephone through outside line wire is set to enable the conference call and the first telephone is set to the hold-on state so as to allow persons at the second and third telephones to talk with each other, wherein a sensing means for detecting signals based on hook-down of either of the second and third telephones is used to release the first telephone from the hold-on state.
An automatic release device for automatically releasing hold-on setting of an outside line call, the automatic release device being connected between outside line wires and outside line input terminals at a first telephone enabling use of an outside line to receive other calls wherein said first telephone when having an outside line call from a second telephone and set to the hold-on state can be released from the hold-on setting to release the line by use of a sensing circuit detecting signals based on the on-hook at the second telephone side and a release circuit for releasing the first telephone.
An automatic release device for automatically releasing the hold-on setting of an outside line call, the automatic release device being connected between outside line wires and outside line input terminals at a first telephone having an outside line call from a second telephone through the outside line wire, the automatic release device being provided with:
A transfer method for an outside line call, by using a conference call system provided by a telephone company wherein a running outside line call received from a second telephone by a first telephone through outside line wire is set to the hold-on state in the conference call system by a Telephone Exchange while any other third line is called up, then, that outside line call is released from the hold-on state by the Telephone Exchange to enable the conference call, and also using a hold-on relay, which is connected between the outside line wire and outside line input terminals at the first telephone and to be actuated by DTMF signals sent by the first telephone or the third telephone subjected to the conference call, in order to set the first telephone to the hold-on state in relation to the outside line wire so as to allow persons at the second and the third telephones to talk with each other, wherein a sensing means for detecting signals based on on-hook of either of the second and third telephones is used to actuate a hold-on setting release relay, which is adapted to cut a hold-on loop formed by the hold-on relay, to release the first telephone from the hold-on setting in relation to the outside line wire.
