Abstract
A battery charging apparatus enables a mobile phone to be used not only for its own use but also as a cordless telephone. The battery charging apparatus includes a telephone section and a Bluetooth section. The telephone section is connected between a public network and the Bluetooth section so as to interface an incoming call from the public network to the combined cordless/mobile phone through the Bluetooth section and to interface a call oriented from the combined cordless/mobile phone to the public network through the Bluetooth section. The Bluetooth section is connected between the telephone section and the combined cordless/mobile phone so as to transmit and receive wireless data.
Claims12
A battery charging apparatus for charging a battery of a combined cordless/mobile phone, the battery charging apparatus comprising a telephone section and a Bluetooth section, wherein:
- the telephone section is connected between a public network and the Bluetooth section so as to interface an incoming call from the public network to the combined cordless/mobile phone through the Bluetooth section and to interface a call oriented from the combined cordless/mobile phone to the public network through the Bluetooth section;
- the Bluetooth section is connected between the telephone section and the combined cordless/mobile phone so as to transmit and receive wireless data;
- and further wherein the telephone section includes
- a ring signal detection circuit which is connected with a public network and which detects a ring signal of a received call;
- an office line connection circuit which interfaces a call command and an audio signal of a telephone;
- and
- a CODEC which is connected between the Bluetooth section and the office line connection circuit so as to convert PCM data into analog voice and vice versa.
