TELEPHONE SET, AND SPEECH COMMUNICATION ENDING METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To execute speech communication within the limited time by transmitting the fact that the situation of limiting the speech communication time happens to a user during the speech communication to a call originating side when it happens, in the called telephone set. SOLUTION: The telephone set which receives a predetermined command from the user during the speech communication reports a reporting message corresponding to the command. The reported message is transmitted to a communicating party as well. Then, from the timing of receiving the command, the time specified by the command is counted down. Then, when a count becomes "0", the telephone set forcibly interrupts a communication line. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
