Digital cordless telephone
The present invention improves an inconvenience of the conventional system in that cordless hand sets must be registered in advance, and reduces the power consumption in the waiting state. The digital codeless telephone according to the invention uses a public telephone network. In the system of the invention, a transmitting party calls a receiving party by means of a message having a group identification code for direct communication between personal stations and information for a waiting mode change request. The system makes the receiving party prepare for receiving, by an event that the receiving party changes the waiting mode according to the message.

a first codeless hand set operable to call with a message having a group identification code by using a public telephone network communication for setting a transceiver communication; and
a second codeless hand set operable to change the public telephone network mode to the transceiver mode according to the message, wherein:
said second codeless hand set is made to prepare for receiving a call from said first codeless hand set through the transceiver communication; and
the group identification code included in the message from said first codeless hand set to said second codeless hand set is information which is necessary for said first codeless hand set and said second codeless hand set to communicate in the transceiver mode.

10. The digital codeless telephone as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the private call station is a home digital cordless system.
11. The digital codeless telephone as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said digital codeless telephone further has a private mode for a communication between said first and second codeless hand sets through a private call station.
12. The digital codeless telephone as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the private call station is a home digital cordless system.
13. A digital codeless telephone comprising:
a home digital codeless system having a public telephone network mode for communicating with another party through a public telephone network, and a codeless mode for communicating through a codeless communication;
a first codeless hand set having the public telephone network mode for communicating with the other party through said home digital codeless system and the public telephone network, the codeless mode for communicating with said home digital codeless system through the codeless communication, and a transceiver mode for communicating through a transceiver communication; and
a second codeless hand set having the public telephone network mode for communicating with the other party through said home digital codeless system and the public telephone network, the codeless mode for communicating with said home digital codeless system through the codeless communication, and the transceiver mode for communicating with said first codeless hand set through the transceiver communication,
wherein said first codeless hand set is operable to communicate with said second codeless hand set in the transceiver mode through the transceiver communication, without using said home digital codeless system, by using a group identification code.
