Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an information guide service providing apparatus used when providing information using a communication network.

(2) Prior Art Conventionally, in the main information guidance service providing apparatus, information of a telephone number or an ID number (identification number) of an information guidance extractor is received, and a telephone number or a telephone number specified by the information guidance provider is received. Checks whether the ID number matches the ID number. If the ID number matches, the user is deemed to be qualified to retrieve the information and communicates the guidance information according to the instruction code specified by the retriever of the information guide to the retriever of the information guide by voice or fax signal. If the information is not correct, the information is not qualified and the communication is cut off without transmitting the guidance information. The information of the phone number or ID number of the information guide extractor is used for the search information of the guidance information. There was no downside.

(3) Object of the invention The object of the present invention is to provide the telephone number or
It is an object of the present invention to provide an information guide service providing apparatus that uses an ID number for searching guide information.

(4) Configuration of the invention (4-1) Differences between the features of the invention and the prior art In the present invention, the telephone number or ID number of the information guide extractor is changed according to the attributes such as the residence area and occupation of the information guide extractor. The guidance information such as fax signals corresponding to the group numbers of these groups and the instruction code specified by the information guidance extractor is stored in the information guidance unit in advance, and guidance is performed based on the group number and the instruction code. The most important feature is to read out information and send it out using a communication network.

The conventional technology is the telephone number of the information guide extractor or
The difference is that search information of guidance information such as a fax signal is used as an ID number.

(4-2) Embodiment FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of an information guide service providing apparatus according to the present invention, wherein 1 is a home device comprising a telephone and a facsimile terminal, 2 is a switching device in a communication network, and 3 is an information guide service providing apparatus. It is. 4,5,10,20 are information guidance service providing devices 3
4 is a control unit, 5 is a guidance information storage unit, 10 is an individual information guidance processing unit (1), and 20 is an individual information guidance processing unit (m). 11 to 15 are constituent circuits of the individual information guidance processing unit (1) 10;
Is a line switching circuit, 12 is a calling identification circuit, 13 is an ID check and information guidance designation code receiving circuit, 14 is a group number correspondence table storage circuit of ID numbers designated by the information guidance provider, and 15 is information guidance data FAX transmission. Circuit.

The individual information guidance processing unit (m) 20 is also composed of circuits similar to the constituent circuits 11 to 15.

The extractor of the information guide operates the home device 1 to access the line of the specific information guide provider connected to the exchange 2, in this case, the line connected to the individual information guide processing unit (1) 10.

Line switching circuit 11 of individual information guidance processing unit (1) 10
Is connected to the contact 0 in the initial state, that is, the call identification circuit 12. The call identification circuit 12 detects that the line has been accessed, and notifies the control unit 4 of the fact.

In the control unit 4, the contact of the line switching circuit 11 is changed from 0 to 1
Then, the ID number and the information guidance designation code sent from the home device 1 are received by the ID check and information guidance designation code receiving circuit 13.

In the ID check and information guide designation code receiving circuit 13,
The ID number is sent to the group number correspondence table storage circuit 14 of the ID number designated by the information guidance provider, the group number corresponding to the ID number is obtained as an output, and the group number is received together with the received information guidance designation code into the control unit 4. Send to

The control unit 4 switches the contact of the line switching circuit 11 from 1 to 2, and stores in the guidance information storage unit 5 information guidance data based on the information guidance provider and the group number corresponding to the ID number and the information guidance designation code. Is sent to the information guide data FAX sending circuit 15. Based on this, the guidance information storage unit 5 sends out the information guidance data.

The information guide data FAX sending circuit 15 converts the sent information guide data into a FAX signal and sends it to the facsimile terminal of the home device 1 via the exchange 2.

Here, the same operation as the individual information guidance processing unit (1) 10 is performed even if the line accessed by the information guidance retrieval person is the individual information guidance processing unit (m) 20.

With such a structure, it is possible to search for information guide data using the ID number of the information guide extractor. As is apparent from this result, there is an advantage that information can be provided corresponding to the ID number as compared with the conventional technology.

(5) Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the information guide provider stores the data of the guide information in the guide information storage unit in association with the telephone number or ID number group of the information guide extractor, Because it can be sent, even if different information extractors send the same information guidance designation code,
There is an effect that useful guidance information data with a local color can be efficiently provided for the group to which the telephone number or ID number of each information guidance extractor belongs.
