Abstract
A telephone plug system includes a jack body having one end adapted to be inserted into standard wall telephone jacks, having at least one receiving socket at another end adapted to receive a conventional plug which is attached to a telephone line operated device. One plug is selected as host plug and at least one as slave plug, whereby the host plug controls a slave plug regarding receiving calls such as speech, facsimile, data etc.
Claims5
A telephone line plug system comprising:
- A jack body having one end adapted to be inserted into standard telephone wall jacks, said jack body having at least one receiving socket at another end adapted to receive a conventional plug which is attached to a telephone line operated device, said plug being controlled via signaling over a provided two wire telephone line;
- a first central processor unit for controlling said signaling;
- a first modulator/demodulator for modulating every signal with a chosen frequency for a line in question, wherein said first central processor unit determines which carrier wave to use;
- a line sensor for differentiating between an idle state and an active state of the telephone line, and for detecting a ring signal;
- a communication channel for forming a communication channel to a slave plug;
- a tone generator for generating tones connected to an outgoing telephone line;
- a first buzzer for signaling,
- an identification means for providing a plug its identity in a plug system;
- a power status controlling means;
- a ring signal generating means connected to a line with a connected telephone device in an idle state;
- a DTMF decoder for decoding DTMF tones transmitted from connected telephone devices;
- and
- a power supply for generating voltage corresponding to a conventional telephone line voltage
- wherein a slave plug is provided for multiple incoming telephone lines in a plug system controlled via signaling over a provided two wire telephone line.
