Abstract
Abstract A radio communication apparatus includes a main telephone connected to a digital line network and a plurality of sub telephones each being capable of performing a radio communication to the main telephone. The main telephone includes a memory for storing a subaddress and a direct dial-in number of each of the plurality of sub telephones, and an unit for, upon receiving an incoming signal transmitted from the digital line network, detecting a subaddress or a direct dial-in number included in the incoming signal, discriminating a sub telephone associated with the detected subaddress or direct dial-in number in accordance with the data stored in the memory, and transmitting the incoming signal to the discriminated sub telephone.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
186 words
A radio communication apparatus for providing radio communication between a digital line network and a plurality of sub telephones, the apparatus comprising: memory means for storing a subaddress and a direct dial-in number for each of the plurality of sub telephones; receiving means for receiving an incoming signal transmitted from the digital line network; first discriminating means for determining when the incoming signal has a direct dial-in number included in the incoming signal and for comparing the direct dial-in number of the incoming signal to the direct dial-in numbers stored in the memory means when the incoming signal has a direct dial-in number; second discriminating means for determining when the incoming signal has a subaddress included in the incoming signal and for comparing the subaddress of the incoming signal to the subaddresses stored in the memory means when the incoming signal has a subaddress; and transmitting means for transmitting the incoming signal to a discriminated sub telephone having at least one of a direct dial-in number and a subaddress that matches a respective one of a direct dial-in numbers and a subaddresses in the incoming signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
186 words
A radio communication apparatus for providing radio communication between a digital line network and a plurality of sub telephones, the apparatus comprising: memory means for storing a subaddress and a direct dial-in number for each of the plurality of sub telephones; receiving means for receiving an incoming signal transmitted from the digital line network; first discriminating means for determining when the incoming signal has a direct dial-in number included in the incoming signal and for comparing the direct dial-in number of the incoming signal to the direct dial-in numbers stored in the memory means when the incoming signal has a direct dial-in number; second discriminating means for determining when the incoming signal has a subaddress included in the incoming signal and for comparing the subaddress of the incoming signal to the subaddresses stored in the memory means when the incoming signal has a subaddress; and transmitting means for transmitting the incoming signal to a discriminated sub telephone having at least one of a direct dial-in number and a subaddress that matches a respective one of a direct dial-in numbers and a subaddresses in the incoming signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
116 words
A radio communication apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the memory means further stores attribute data for each of the plurality of sub telephones, and wherein the apparatus further comprises third discriminating means for determining when the incoming signal includes attribute data, and for comparing the attribute data of the incoming signal to the attribute data stored in the memory means when the incoming signal has attribute data, wherein the transmitting means transmits the incoming signal to a discriminated sub telephone having at least one of a direct dial-in number and a subaddress, and attribute data that matches a respective one of a direct dial-in number and a subaddress, and attribute data of the incoming signal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
67 words
A radio communication apparatus according to claim 1 and further comprising means for discriminating an originating sub telephone when the originating sub telephone transmits an outgoing signal, reading the subaddress or the direct dial-in number of the originating sub telephone from the data stored in the memory means, and for adding the subaddress or the direct dial-in number of the originating sub telephone to the outgoing signal.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
53 words
The radio communication apparatus according to claim 2 and further comprising means for directing the incoming signal to a sub telephone which has attribute data that matches the attribute data of the incoming signal when the attribute data of the discriminated sub telephone does not match the attribute data of the incoming signal.
