Description
Background of the Invention
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates in general to a radio-telephone system having a stationary apparatus and a portable apparatus, for intercommunication between the both apparatus by wireless and a method of performing the intercommunication between the both apparatus by wireless, and more particularly to a radio-telephone system employing a manner of changing a channel and a privacy digital code and interstoring them between the both apparatus by wireless, for transmitting the privacy digital code from the stationary apparatus to the portable apparatus through their antennas by wireless and storing the privacy digital code into a RAM in the portable apparatus, when the portable apparatus is put on the stationary apparatus for the charging of its battery and a method of changing the privacy digital code.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Generally, a radio-telephone system having a stationary apparatus and a portable apparatus is believed to hold a privacy digital code in order to prevent an unlawful use thereof and a misconnection between the both apparatus.
In a conventional channel-fixed radio-telephone system, there has not been present any alternative plan to a severe crosstalk in the course of a talker's talking over the telephone. Also, the system could not solve the problems of misconnection between the both apparatus in the talker's trying to talk over the telephone because of its holding no privacy digital code, and therefore of the overcharge for the telephone call.
Also, there has been known another conventional radio-telephone system provided with Manchester Code, encoder/decoder chips for embodying the holding of the privacy digital code in the operation of dip switches corresponding to a predetermined number of digital code bits. In this system, however, the change of the digital codes was allowed very restrictively in view of economic conditions for a system hardware and of the number of digital code bits and, as well, the dip switches for the stationary and portable apparatus was inconvenient to use due to their manual operations.
Conventional radio-telephone systems adopted for the improvement in the above-mentioned problems with above systems will be mentioned hereinafter with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
Referring to FIG. 1 which is a block diagram of a construction of a conventional radio-telephone system issued to MOTOROLA Co., Ltd, U.S.A., this conventional radio-telephone system is shown to comprise a stationary apparatus and a portable apparatus each including a microprocessor, a memory, two (+,-) charging terminals and a separate coding terminal ID. This system is adapted to send a predetermined privacy digital code from the stationary apparatus out to the portable apparatus via the coding terminal ID and then store it into the memory in the portable apparatus, when the predetermined privacy digital code is previously programmed in the memory in the stationary apparatus and the portable apparatus is thereafter put on the stationary apparatus for the charging of its battery.
Turning to FIG. 2 which is a block diagram of a construction of another conventional radio-telephone system issued to AT&T Co., Ltd, U.S.A., this conventional radio-telephone system is shown to comprise a stationary apparatus and a portable apparatus, each including a control circuit containing a memory, two (+,-) charging terminals and a charging, data transfer and cradle status circuit connected between the control circuit and the two charging terminals, with removing the separate coding terminal ID from the above-mentioned system. This system is adapted to send a predetermined privacy digital code from the stationary apparatus out to the portable apparatus via the (+) charging terminals, not via the coding terminal ID in the above-mentioned conventional system and then store it into the memory in the portable apparatus, when the predetermined digital code is previously programmed in the memory in the stationary apparatus and the portable apparatus is thereafter put on the stationary apparatus for the charging of its battery.
However, in the former system, the installation of the separate coding terminal therein results in its structural complexity and in the latter system, the additional installation of the charging, data transfer and cradle status circuit therein results in its structural complexity and a heavy economic burden thereof. In addition, in both systems, the use of expensive EEPROMs in which each of equally programmed privacy digital codes is stored, in both of the stationary and portable apparatus results in an increase in the economic burden thereof.

FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram of a construction of a radio-telephone system in accordance with the present invention. In this drawing, the reference numeral 100 designates a stationary apparatus, 1 a charging power supply and sensing circuit, 2 a microprocessor unit, referred to hereinafter as a base MPU, 3 a duplex radio transmitting and receiving unit, 4 a line connecting circuit, A an antenna, 200 a portable apparatus, 5 a charging circuit, 6 a microprocessor unit, referred to hereinafter as a hand MPU, 7 a duplex radio transmitting and receiving unit, and A' an antenna, respectively.
Referring to FIG. 3, a radio-telephone system in accordance with the present invention is shown to comprise a stationary apparatus 100 and a portable apparatus 200, each having (+,-) charging terminals.
The stationary apparatus 100 includes a base MPU 2 containing a ROM, a charging power supply and sensing circuit 1 connected between the base MPU 2 and the stationary apparatus 100 (+,-) charging terminals, for supplying a charging power to the stationary apparatus 100 (+,-) charging terminals and sensing a contact of the stationary apparatus 100 (+,-) charging terminals with the portable apparatus 200 (+,-) charging terminals to output an acknowledge signal in accordance with the sensed result to the base MPU 2, a duplex radio transmitting and receiving unit 3 connected to the base MPU 2, for transmitting a privacy digital code to the portable apparatus 200 under a control of the base MPU 2 if the charging power supply and sensing circuit 1 senses the contact of the stationary apparatus 100 (+,-) charging terminals with the portable apparatus 200 (+,-) charging terminals and performing the signal transmission and reception from and/or to the portable apparatus 200 having the same code, a line connecting circuit 4 connected to the base MPU 2 and the duplex radio transmitting and receiving unit 3, for connecting the system of the present invention to an existing public service telecommunication network (PSTN), and an antenna A connected to the duplex radio transmitting and receiving unit 3, for the signal transmission and reception of the unit 3.
The portable apparatus 200 includes a hand MPU 6 containing a RAM for storing the privacy digital code given by the base MPU 2 in the stationary apparatus 100, a duplex radio transmitting and receiving unit 7 connected to the hand MPU 6, for receiving the privacy digital code transmitted from the stationary apparatus 100 in the charging of its battery and performing the signal transmission and reception from and/or to the stationary apparatus 100 having the same code, a charging circuit 5 connected to the portable apparatus 200 (+,-) charging terminals, for supplying a charged power to the hand MPU 6 and the duplex radio transmitting and receiving unit 7, and an antenna A' connected to the duplex radio transmitting and receiving unit 7, for the signal transmission and reception of the unit 7.
The operation of changing a channel and the privacy digital code and interstoring them between the stationary apparatus 100 and the portable apparatus 200 by wireless according to the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to timing diagrams of FIGS. 4A through 4E.
Usually, in the radio-telephone system, the portable apparatus 200 is always put on the stationary apparatus 100 for the charging of its battery. If the stationary apparatus 100 (+,-) charging terminals are in contact with the portable apparatus 200 (+,-) charging terminals, the charging power supply and sensing circuit 1 senses that contact and transfers a signal in accordance with the sensed result to the base MPU 2. Herein, while the charging power supply and sensing circuit 1 outputs the sensed signal to the base MPU 2 during a time period T in FIG. 4A, a transmission enable state that the base MPU 2 can transmit transmission on data depending on the applying of power Vdd to the duplex radio transmitting and receiving unit 3 is maintained during a time period T1 in FIG. 4B.
While the transmission enable state is maintained during the time period T1 in FIG. 4B, during a time period T2 in FIG. 4C the base MPU 2 outputs a start channel and the privacy digital code data incremented by the number of one bit to the antenna A' in the portable apparatus 200 through a transmitting circuit Tx in the duplex radio transmitting and receiving unit 3 and therefore through the antenna A.
On the other hand, upon receiving the start channel and the privacy digital code data incremented by the number of one bit from the stationary apparatus 100, the antenna A' in the portable apparatus 200 transfers them to the hand MPU 6 via the duplex radio transmitting and receiving unit 7.
During a time period T3 in FIG. 4D, a transmission enable state that the hand MPU 6 can transmit transmission on data depending on the applying of power Vdd to the duplex radio transmitting and receiving unit 7 is maintained.
While the transmission enable state is maintained during the time period T3 in FIG. 4D, during a time period T4 in FIG. 4E the hand MPU 6 outputs an acknowledge signal, indicating that the start channel and the privacy digital code data transmitted from the stationary apparatus 100 have been received, to the antenna A in the stationary apparatus 100 through a transmitting circuit Tx in the duplex radio transmitting and receiving unit 7 and therefore through the antenna A'.
Upon receiving the acknowledge signal from the portable apparatus 200, the antenna A in the stationary apparatus 100 transfers the acknowledge signal to the hand MPU 2 via the duplex radio transmitting and receiving unit 3. Then, the procedure of changing the start channel and the privacy digital code and interstoring them between the stationary apparatus 100 and the portable apparatus 200 by wireless according to the present invention is completed.
Therefore, the stationary apparatus 100 and the portable apparatus 200 are allowed to have the same channel and privacy digital code, thereby enabling the transmission and reception between the both apparatus. As a result, upon having taken the portable apparatus 200 in their hands and having pushed its talk buttons, the talkers can talk over the telephone between each other.
Also, every time the portable apparatus 200 is put on the stationary apparatus 100, new data is stored in the RAM in the base MPU 2 of the stationary apparatus 100, so that the portable apparatus 200 can always be given a new privacy digital code.

The radio-telephone system dedicated PLL IC 421 determines a frequency dividing ratio of a reference frequency signal in accordance with channel data from the CPU 411 and generates transmission and reception frequency signals corresponding to channels 1 to 10 according to the determined frequency dividing ratio.
Upon being applied with a transmitting power, the transmitting part of the ratio-telephone system dedicated PLL IC 421 operates to excite the transmitting VCO 423 to free-run. Then, a free-run frequency signal from the free-running transmitting VCO 423 is applied to an input terminal of the PLL IC 421.
The radio-telephone system dedicated PLL IC 421 frequency-divides the signal received from the transmitting VCO 423 by the previously determined frequency dividing ratio in accordance with channel information from the CPU 411, compares a phase of the frequency-divided signal with a phase of the reference frequency signal and outputs the phase difference to the low pass filter 422.

Upon being applied with a receiving power, the receiving part of the radio-telephone system dedicated PLL IC 421 operates to excite the receiving VCO 425 to free-run. Then, a free-run frequency signal from the free-running receiving VCO 425 is applied to the other input terminal of the PLL IC 421.
The radio-telephone system dedicated PLL IC 421 frequency-divides the signal received from the receiving VCO 425 by the previously determined frequency dividing ratio in accordance with channel data from the CPU 411, compares a phase of the frequency-divided signal with a phase of the reference frequency signal and outputs the phase difference to the low pass filter 424.
The low pass filter 424 filters the phase difference received from the PLL IC 421 and again applies the filtered phase difference to the receiving VCO 425 for the locking of the free-run frequency according to the frequency variation.
The duplex ratio transmitting and receiving unit 430 is provided with a duplexer 432 connected to the antenna A, a radio frequency (RF) transmitting amplifier 431 connected between an output terminal of the transmitting VCO 423 in the transmitting and receiving PLL circuit 420 and the duplexer 432, a RF receiving amplifier 433 connected to the duplexer 432, a RF mixer 434 connected to an output terminal of the RF receiving amplifier 433 and to an output terminal of the receiving VCO 425 in the transmitting and receiving PLL circuit 420, and a detector 435 connected to the RF mixer 434.
The duplexer 432 is a bidirectional transmission circuit capable of simultaneously transmitting and receiving data. The duplexer 432 transfers an output signal from the RF transmitting amplifier 431 to the antenna A, filters a RF reception signal received from the antenna A through a 49 MHz band pass filter (not shown) contained therein and outputs the filtered RF reception signal to the RF receiving amplifier 433.
The RF transmitting amplifier 431 amplifies a RF transmission signal received from the transmitting VCO 423 in the transmitting PLL circuit 420a through a buffer amplifying circuit and a power amplifying circuit (not shown) contained therein, the RF transmission signal being produced by a voice output signal from a voice amplifier and frequency modulator 467 being synthesized with the locked free-run frequency signal from the transmitting VCO 423, and outputs the amplified RF transmission signal to the duplexer 432.
The RF receiving amplifier 433 low-noise amplifies the RF reception signal received from the duplexer 432 through a RF amplifying circuit (not shown) contained therein and outputs the amplified RF reception signal to the RF mixer 434.
The RF mixer 434 mixes a first locked local frequency signal outputted from the receiving VCO 425 in the receiving PLL circuit 420b with the RF reception signal incoming from the antenna A to produce a first intermediate frequency signal of 10.7 MHz. Thereafter, the RF mixer 434 filters the first intermediate frequency signal of 10.7 MHz through a 10.7 MHz ceramic filter (not shown) contained therein and mixes the filtered first intermediate frequency signal with a reference run frequency signal of 10.240 MHz from the PLL IC 421 to produce a second intermediate frequency signal of 455 KHz.
The detector 435 amplifies the 455 KHz second intermediate frequency (IF) signal from the RF mixer 434, inverts the amplified signal and detects the inverted signal through a LC tank resonance circuit and a detecting circuit (not shown) contained therein.
The squelch and reception data filtering circuit 440 includes a squelch sensor 441 and a reception data filter 442 each connected between the detector 435 and the CPU 411.
The squelch sensor 441 when selection for a channel has been required at the start of talker's talking over the telephone or in the course of talker's talking over the telephone, i.e., when a channel selection button has been pushed, senses whether which of channels is not busy on the public line of telecommunication and informs the CPU 411 of the sensed result, so that the CPU 411 can select a idle channel. In the squelch sensor 441, there may be employed a variable resistor VR for adjusting an acceptable level of a carrier.
The reception data filter 442 includes a dual operational amplifier (OP-AMP) IC (not shown), preferably, Model LM358, and peripheral circuit (not shown), for filtering data received from the portable apparatus 200 and applying the filtered data to the CPU 411.
The charging power supply and sensing circuit 450 includes (+,-) charging terminals 451 and 452 for contact with (+,-) charging terminals of the portable apparatus 200 and a charging detecting circuit 453 connected between the (-) charging terminal 452 and the CPU 411.
A more detailed construction of the charging detecting circuit 453 will be mentioned hereinafter with reference to FIG. 7A.
FIG. 7A is a detailed circuit diagram of the charging detecting circuit 453 in the stationary apparatus 100 concerned with the charging of a battery in FIG. 6. As shown in this drawing, a charging power (+9 V) is fed to the (+) charging terminal 451 connected to a power source Vcc.
The charging detecting circuit 453 is provided with a ground resistor 707 connected to the (-) charging terminal 452, a base resistor 706 connected in parallel to the ground resistor 707, and a switching NPN transistor 705 including its base connected to the (-) charging terminal 452 via the base resistor 706, its emitter connected to ground and its collector connected to a power source Vdd via a resistor 701 and to a light emitting diode 702 and a resistor 703 connected in series.

Then, the bell signal detector 465 outputs the logic signal to the CPU 411.
The network transformer 463 operates in accordance with a phase difference between an incoming signal voltage and an outgoing signal voltage to prevent the occurrence of a crosstalk in the course of the system's voice transmission and reception with the existing public service telecommunication network (PSTN). Namely, the network transformer 463 separates a voice signal received from the telephone line from a transmission voice signal from the voice amplifier 462 in accordance with a phase difference between the reception voice signal voltage and the transmission voice signal voltage and applies the transmission voice signal to the telephone line.
The voice amplifying and frequency modulating circuit 467 includes a voice band amplifying circuit (not shown) containing a transistor and peripheral devices, such as well-known in the art, and a FM modulating oscillator (not shown). The voice amplifying and frequency modulating circuit 467 operates to amplify through the voice band amplifying circuit the reception voice signal from the telephone line, separated from the transmission voice signal by the network transformer 463 and to modulate the amplified signal through a varicap diode in the FM modulating oscillator. Then, the voice amplifying and frequency modulating circuit 467 outputs the modulated signal to the transmitting VCO 423 in the transmitting PLL circuit 420a.
The voice amplifier 462 adjusts volume of a pure voice signal through a variable resistor (not shown) contained therein and amplifies the volume-adjusted voice signal. Then, the voice amplifier 462 applies the amplified voice signal to the network transformer 463 in order to transmit the amplified voice signal as a transmission voice signal over the telephone line.
The dialer 464 upon receiving dial pulse and DTMF signals from the CPU 411, i.e., when the CPU 411 outputs thereto the DTMF and dial pulse signals produced in accordance with the 2 MHz reference frequency drives a relay (not shown) contained therein to output the DTMF signal to the telephone line through the same path as that of the voice signal.
The 10.240 MHz oscillator 470 is connected to the PLL IC 421 in the transmitting and receiving PLL circuit 420 and to the RF mixer 434, for supplying the 10.240 MHz frequency to them.

FIGS. 8A and 8B illustrate contents and structures of data frames employed for data communication in the radio-telephone system of the present invention as above-mentioned. The data frames of the preferred embodiment of the present invention can be classified into two types.
Data frame I of one type consists of total 32 bits, i.e., a permeable 3 bits, a start bit 1 bit, a privacy digital code 20 bits and command data 8 bits, as shown in FIG. 8A. When one of the stationary apparatus 100 and the portable apparatus 200 operates as an originator of call processing, the data frame I is sent out to the other apparatus as a receiver.
In the portable apparatus 200, when the talk key has been pushed for the talker's talking over the telephone, when the talk key has again been pushed for the talker's finishing of talking over the telephone, when the page key has been pushed, when the channel change key has been pushed, and when a memory code is transmitted, the date frame I containing above structure is employed. On the other hand, in the stationary apparatus 100, when a ring signal is detected and thus ring data is transmitted to the portable apparatus 200, when the page key has been pushed, and when the privacy digital code is transmitted to the portable apparatus 200 during the charging of the battery, the data frame I containing above structure is employed.
Data frame II of the other type consists of total 12 bits, i.e., a permeable 3 bits, a start bit 1 bit and command data 8 bits, as shown in FIG. 8B. In the permeable apparatus 200, as generic dial key data to be used when the talker tries to talk over the telephone and hence there is determined a talk channel between the portable apparatus 200 and the stationary apparatus 100 and as acknowledge data when the privacy digital code is received from the stationary apparatus 100 by wireless during the charging of the battery, the data frame II containing above structure is employed. On the other hand, in the stationary apparatus 100, as data to be transmitted to the portable apparatus 200 for confirmation of reception data such as talk acknowledge, memory acknowledge and etc., when the call processing from the portable apparatus 200 is initiated, the data frame II containing above structure is employed.
On the other hand, 1 byte RAMs are set in the portable apparatus 200 and the stationary apparatus 100 respectively as a mode register in which modes can be classified into a standby mode, a memory mode and a talk mode in accordance with an operation (OP) code as shown in the following Table 1 and the software has any modes in any case.
In the charging of the battery, however, because the operations of the stationary and portable apparatus 100 and 200 are jumped to a software RESET routine to perform the step of clearing the RAM in the RESET routine, all flags and the register are set to zero and the standby mode is set. In this case, a location subsequent to a stack pointer of the RAM storing the privacy digital code is addressed, the stack pointer being a register instructing read out of data in a specific location of a stack memory, thereby enabling the privacy digital code in the RAM to be held even when the power of the portable apparatus 200 is turned on/off or the RAM is cleared by the software reset.
Formats as shown in the following Table 2 are registered as the transmission and reception data bank for data communication in each source program. In the Table 2, (A) is the case that the stationary apparatus 100 operates as an originator, while (B) is the case that the portable apparatus 200 operates as an originator.
Because of number system of 8 bits (1 byte) of command data, the operation (OP) code includes 2 hexadecimal digits. During the charging of the battery, the privacy digital code change request code transmitted from the stationary apparatus 100 to the portable apparatus 200 is FFH. Upon receiving the request code FFH, the portable apparatus 200 transmits the privacy digital code change completion code FFH to the stationary apparatus 100, thereby causing the operation of a privacy digital code timer in the stationary apparatus 100 to be stopped and the privacy digital code transmission from the stationary apparatus 100 to be stopped.
Referring to FIGS. 9A and 9B, there are shown constructions of one bit of the transmission data and one bit of the reception data, respectively, according to the present invention. The bit in FIG. 9A is high (1), while the bit in FIG. 9B is low (0). The rate of the "1" bit is 125 Hz by the combination of 4 ms/4 ms and that of the "0" bit is 80 Hz by the combination of 4 ms/8 ms, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B.
On the other hand, the reception sampling frequency is 250 .mu.s (4 MH) and the sampling margin is 30%.
In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, for the purpose of synchronization of the reception data different start bits are set every frame and before the start bit the waiting time is set by the permeable. Also, the data processing proceeds only when the privacy digital codes are in accord with each other, except when the FFH data indicating the privacy digital code change request code and the privacy digital code change completion code is received.
Referring to FIGS. 10A through 10F, there are shown flowcharts relating to the transmission of the privacy digital code and the reception of the acknowledge data to the privacy acknowledge data between the stationary and portable apparatus 100 and 200 in the charging of the battery, according to the present invention.
When any one of the stationary and portable apparatus 100 and 200 is charged, the other is necessarily charged, too, except for a hardware fault in the charging terminals. That is, if the charging detecting terminal of the CPU 611 connected to the charging detecting circuit 683 in the portable apparatus 200 is transited from a high state to a low state, the charging detecting terminal of the CPU 411 connected to the charging detecting circuit 453 in the stationary apparatus 100 is transited from a high state to a low state. At this time, the charging of the battery is hardwarely performed through the charging terminals hardwarely connecting the stationary apparatus 100 to the portable apparatus 200. On the other hand, in the view of the charging of the battery being softwarely performed, if the charging detecting terminals are transited from the high state to the low state, the operations of the stationary and portable apparatus 100 and 200 are jumped to a subroutine for transmission and reception of the privacy digital code to perform the corresponding program for 5 seconds.
FIGS. 10A and 10B are flowcharts relating to the operation of the stationary apparatus 100.
First, the stationary apparatus 100 sets the current mode register, or RAM to zero and clears all flags to zero at step 312. Then, the stationary apparatus 100 performs a privacy digital code get routine at step 313, designates an initial value at step 314 and performs an operation routine according to the low (0) state of the charging detecting terminal at step 315. Thereafter, the stationary apparatus 100 has a charging delay time period for 2 seconds at step 316, for preventing a chattering which may occur during the contact between the charging terminals of the stationary and portable apparatus 100 and 200.
Then, the stationary apparatus 100 continues to monitor the state of the charging detecting terminal at step 317. If the charging detecting terminal is transited from the low (0) state to the high (1) state during the charging delay time period, the operation of the stationary apparatus 100 at the current subroutine is jumped to a normal cradle off routine. Namely, the stationary apparatus 100 performs an operation routine according to the high (1) state of the charging detecting terminal at step 319 and then the operation thereof is jumped to a main routine. In the subroutine for transmission and reception of the privacy digital code, the ring signal detect and all function senses are interrupted, so that the perfect privacy digital code transmitting and receiving system is established.
If the charging detecting terminal continues to maintain the low, or "0" state even after the charging delay time lapsed, that is, if the charging of the battery is continued, the following privacy digital code transmitting program is executed.
First, the transmitting power in the transmitting circuit is turned on for the radio communication at step 318 and the data of the frame I of FIG. 8A is transmitted to the portable apparatus 200 at step 320 after delaying of the time period for 200 ms set to a stable time of the transmitting VCO 423 at step 319. At the same time as the turning on of the transmitting power, a 700 ms privacy digital code timer is driven and a privacy digital code counter inputs value "5" so that the privacy digital code can be transmitted 5 times.
The stationary apparatus 100 checks whether the permeable and the start bit are present among data received by wireless from the portable apparatus 200 at steps 321 and 322 and then whether the privacy digital code change completion data, or the operation code FFH has been received at step 323. If the privacy digital code change completion data, or the operation code FFH has been received, the operation of the privacy digital code timer is stopped for completion of the current subroutine at step 324 and the operation of the stationary apparatus 100 is jumped to the main routine. If not so, it is determined if the value of the privacy digital code counter decremented by one is zero at step 325. Unless the value of the privacy digital code counter decremented by one is zero, the transmitting operation of the privacy digital code change request data is performed repeatedly by up to 5 times until the privacy digital code change completion data is received. Unless the privacy digital code change completion data is yet received even through 5 times repetition, the stationary apparatus 100 determines the power of the portable apparatus 200 was turned off and sets an OFF-flag in accordance with the determined result at step 326. Therefore, the stationary apparatus 100 can prevent an auto-talk upon detecting the ring signal during the charging of the battery at step 366 and perform the normal cradle off operation at step 365, as shown in FIG. 10E.
FIGS. 10C and 10D are flowcharts relating to the operation of the portable apparatus 200.
First, upon determining through the charging detecting terminal of the CPU 611 connected to the charging detecting circuit 683 that the battery 681 is being charged at step 330, the portable apparatus 220 performs a RAM clear routine except 3 bytes of the RAM corresponding to the privacy digital code at step 331, designates an initial value at step 332 and performs a receiving main routine of reception data transmitted from the stationary apparatus 100 at step 333. Then, the portable apparatus 200 checks whether the permeable and the start bit are present among data received by wireless from the stationary apparatus 100 at steps 334 and 335. If the permeable and the start bit are present among the received data, the privacy digital code is stored in a receiving buffer at step 336. Thereafter, it is determined if the command data existing among the received data is in accord with the privacy digital code change request data, or the operation code FFH, i.e., if the privacy digital code change request data FFH has been received at step 337. If the command data existing among the received data is in accord with the privacy digital code change request data FFH, the privacy digital code previously stored in the receiving buffer is stored in the RAM at step 338 and a transmission interrupt flag is set at step 339. Thereafter, the transmitting power in the transmitting circuit is turned on for the radio communication and delaying of the time period for 200 ms set to a stable time of the transmitting VCO 623 lapses at step 340. After delaying of the time period for 200 ms, the privacy digital code change request data FFH is saved in a transmitting buffer at step 341 and the privacy digital code change completion data of the frame II in FIG. 8B is transmitted to the stationary apparatus 100. On the other hand, if the command data existing among the received data is not in accord with the privacy digital code change request data FFH, the privacy digital code in the receiving buffer is compared with contents in the RAM at step 343. If the privacy digital code in the receiving buffer is in accord with contents in the RAM, an operation according to the command data is performed for completion of the current subroutine at step 345; if not so, the operation of the portable apparatus 200 is jumped to the main routine.
On the other hand, in case that the power supply of the stationary apparatus 100 is cut off or reset while the portable apparatus 200 is put on the stationary apparatus 200 for the charging of the battery, the subroutine for transmission and reception of the privacy digital code is performed once more again.
The portable apparatus 200 normally operates with the use of the battery power except the low power of the battery, as shown in FIG. 10F. However, if the low power of the battery is sensed at step 371, a low voltage timer is driven at step 372, a low voltage counter is set to value "10" at step 373 and therefore an alarm is given 10 times at an interval of one second at steps 374 and 375. Thereafter, the operation of the portable apparatus 200 is jumped to a power-down mode at step 376. Of course in the power-down mode, the normal routine is performed for 10 seconds and hence the transmission and reception of the privacy digital code is enabled for that time period. Even though the portable apparatus 200 is woken up by a hardware reset in the power off thereof or in the power-down mode resulted from the low power of the battery, the privacy digital code is kept stored in the RAM. Therefore, there is no necessity for recharging for the transmission and reception of the privacy digital code.
As hereinbefore described, the present invention provides the radio-telephone system comprising the stationary and portable apparatus each including the CPU IC and the 10 channel PLL IC applied thereto. Therefore, according to the present invention, the selection of the talk channel having no crosstalk by the system software is enabled. Also, the system according to the present invention allows the stationary and portable apparatus to contain a identification code. Therefore, first in confirmation of the identification code in decision of the talk channel, the present system can prevent a misconnection between the stationary and portable apparatus in the course of a talker's talking over the telephone.
In addition, in accordance with the present invention, every when the portable apparatus is put on the stationary apparatus for the charging of the battery, new channel setting and new privacy digital code granting are performed by wireless through the antennas A and A' and hence the interstoring procedure is automatically performed between the stationary and portable apparatus, thereby enabling the enhancing of function and processing speed of the system. Therefore, the present system and method may be applied to all radio-communication equipments including the prior radio-telephone systems.
Although the preferred embodiments of the invention have been disclosed for illustrative purpose, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
