Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a simplified portable telephone (including a PHS) for a hearing-impaired person, which is capable of receiving a hearing-impaired person and has a hearing aid function.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, there have been telephones for hearing-impaired persons and telephones with an increased reception volume and fixed telephones provided with bone conduction receivers, but there are no simple portable telephones for hearing-impaired persons. Further, there is no simple type portable telephone which also has a hearing aid.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Although there are stationary telephones for the hearing impaired, there are more opportunities for the hearing impaired to go outdoors, and even in those cases, they always carry hearing aids. However, hearing-impaired people cannot use public telephones on the street, etc., making it extremely difficult to communicate outdoors.

[0004] In view of the above, the present invention focuses on a simple portable telephone that can be carried when going out, and can be contacted even when a hearing-impaired person goes out. The aim is to provide a simplified mobile phone for the hearing impaired that can support activities in the country.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a simplified mobile phone for a hearing-impaired person according to the present invention is characterized in that a bone conduction receiver and a speaker for voice output are provided on the mobile phone body. Further, in order to provide a hearing aid function, the above-mentioned simplified portable telephone for a hearing-impaired person is provided with an earphone equipped with an audio output speaker, a sound-collecting microphone for a hearing aid function, and a hearing aid switch. In addition, an earphone equipped with a bone conduction receiver can be provided on a simplified mobile phone for the hearing impaired who has a hearing aid function.

In the present invention having the above-described structure, if an incoming call is received, the hearing-impaired person can contact the bone conduction receiving device of the mobile phone body with the head near the ear to have the ossicle, the incisal bone, A stirrup The vibration of the bones transmits the voice and enables the reception. When used by a healthy person, use a speaker for audio output.

When the portable telephone body is used as a hearing aid, a hearing aid switch is turned on by a function key to switch to a hearing aid function. The sound around the hearing-impaired person carrying this mobile phone will be collected by the microphone for hearing aid function and listened by earphone. The earphone can be listened to as sound with an earphone equipped with a sound output speaker, or the sound can be converted into vibration and heard with an earphone equipped with a bone conduction receiver.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of the simplified portable telephone for a hearing-impaired person of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing functions of the same.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body of a portable telephone, 2 denotes a bone conduction receiver used by a hearing-impaired person, 3 denotes a speaker (receiver) for sound output used by a healthy person, 4 Is a microphone for transmitting, 5 is a sound-collecting microphone for hearing aid function, 6 is an earphone, 7 is a display liquid crystal, 8 is a volume control dial, 9 is a power switch, 10 is a call switch, and 11 is a function key (hearing aid). , 12 is a dial, and 13 is an incoming call indicator lamp.

Next, the function will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, A is a sound collection unit, and the transmission microphone 4 collects its own voice and uses it as an input for a mobile phone. The sound-collecting microphone 5 for the hearing aid function is used as an input when other sounds or surrounding sounds are collected and used as a hearing aid.

In the figure, B is an output unit, and the bone conduction receiver 2 converts the incoming voice into vibration and transmits it to the hearing-impaired person through the bones of the head of the hearing-impaired person. The sound output speaker 3 transmits sound from a mobile phone or the like to a healthy person. The earphone terminal 14 is used as a connection terminal for the earphone 6 when used as a hearing aid. As the earphone 6, 6A equipped with a bone conduction receiver and 6B equipped with a voice output speaker (receiver) can be used. The amplifier 15 amplifies (decreases) the sound-collecting microphone 5 for a hearing aid function or the like and the received sound or the like, and outputs the amplified sound to the bone conduction receiver 2 or the sound output speaker 3 or the like.

In FIG. 1, C is a radio wave transmitting / receiving unit, 16 is a transmitting unit, and 17 is a receiving unit. In the figure, D is an operation unit, and a power switch 18 turns on and off the power of the mobile phone main body 1. The function key 11 selects various functions of the mobile phone. Also, switch to use as a hearing aid. Further, switching between the bone conduction receiver 2 and the audio output speaker 3 may be performed. The dial 12 transmits a selection signal of the mobile phone. The volume control 20 adjusts the amplification (attenuation) of the amplifier 15 in a stepless manner. In the figure, E is a power supply of the mobile phone main body 1, and F is an antenna.

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the present invention, since the mobile phone has a bone conduction receiving function, if the hearing-impaired person carries the device when going out, it is easy to contact the hearing-impaired person, and the hearing-impaired person can perform external activities with peace of mind. It also has a function, so that it is not necessary to have a hearing aid. In addition, since a speaker for voice output is also provided, ordinary calls can be made, and it can be used from healthy persons to severely deaf persons. In addition, the mobile phone of the present invention has an effect that it can be used as a slave unit of a home telephone at home.
