Patent ID: 7181000

Claim:
A voice transmission device characterized by comprising: a noise canceller for removing a noise contained in a voice call signal inputted from a subscriber terminal through a subscriber side interface part; voiced/unvoiced detection means for judging a voiced part and an unvoiced part from the voice call signal after the noise removal; voice coding means for coding the voiced part of the voice call signal outputted by the noise canceller after the noise removal and for outputting it to outside through a line interface part; voice decoding means for decoding voice data inputted from the outside through the line interface part; pattern bit generation means for outputting an establishment bit pattern indicating establishment of a multistage connection state and for, after a control signal is inputted from tandem pass through state judgment means, generating and outputting a detected bit pattern which is different from the establishment bit pattern in a bit pattern and indicates a state where multistage connection is occurring; signal synthesis means for synthesizing an output of the voice decoding means and the establishment bit pattern or the detected bit pattern and for outputting to outside through the subscriber side interface part; and the tandem pass through state judgment means for, in a case where the establishment bit pattern is contained in the voice call signal inputted from the outside through the subscriber side interface part, outputting the control signal to the pattern bit generation means, and for, in a case where after the control signal is outputted and the detected bit pattern is contained in the voice call signal inputted through the subscriber side interface, stopping operations of the noise canceller, the voice coding means, and the voice decoding means, and switching them into operations to output the inputted voice call signal as it is.
