The emergency notification device 1 may notify not only the fire service 4 but also a voice-synthesized message to the concerned homes 11a to 11n via the telephone line 6 via the NTT 5. The related persons' houses 11a to 11n include, for example, a president of a company in a building where a fire has occurred, a managing director, a fire prevention manager's house, and a private company commissioned by fire security.

When making a report to the fire department 4, the emergency report device 1 voice-synthesizes a message having a content corresponding to the report status, and transmits the voice-synthesized signal to the remote activation device 3.
And a sound is emitted from the speaker (see FIG. 2) of the remote starter 3. Specifically, when the remote activation device 3 is operated, the message to the fire department 4 is generated, and when the notification is completed, the message is synthesized in three cases.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a detailed configuration of the emergency notification device 1. As shown in FIG. In FIG. 2, the emergency notification device 1 is connected to a telephone line 21 to communicate with the outside, and is also connected to a normal telephone 22. The telephone line 21 is drawn into the emergency notification device 1, and the light emitting diode of the photocoupler 23 is inserted and connected to one side of the telephone line 21, and the diode of the photocoupler 24 is turned in the opposite direction to the photocoupler 23. Are connected in parallel.

The telephone line 21 drawn into the emergency notification device 1 is connected to the telephone set 22 via relay contacts 25a and 25b, and the telephone set 22 is connected to or disconnected from the telephone line 21 by switching the relay contacts 25a and 25b. I can do it.

Further, relay contacts 26a and 26b are inserted and connected to the telephone line 21 which is drawn into the emergency notification device 1, and the relay contact 2 which is in a line disconnected state shown in FIG.
The primary winding of the transformer circuit 27 is inserted into the telephone line 21 by switching the 6a and 26b in conjunction with the opposite side, so that a call signal can be transmitted to and received from the telephone line 21 via the transformer circuit 27. It has become.

Further, a relay contact 28 for generating a dial pulse by the operation of the relay A is connected to the telephone line 21 drawn into the emergency notification device 1. The outputs of the phototransistors of the photocouplers 23 and 24 provided on the telephone line 21 are input to a busy / call signal detection circuit 29. The busy / call signal detection circuit 29 and the photocouplers 23 and 24 also have a function as a polarity inversion detection circuit of the telephone line 21.

For this reason, when the handset of the telephone set 22 is turned off, for example, the photodiode of the photocoupler 24 is turned on by the direct current flowing through the telephone line 21 and when the other party goes off-hook by transmitting a dial pulse, the polarity is inverted. Then, the light emission is switched to the light emission of the photodiode of the photocoupler 23. Therefore, the use / call signal detection circuit 29 can detect that the telephone line 21 is in use if a constant light receiving signal is obtained from the photocoupler 23 or 24.

On the other hand, when the telephone 22 is being called through the telephone line 21, a ringing signal of 16 Hz / 75V for ringing the bell of the telephone 22 is obtained. Flashes. Therefore, the busy / call signal detection circuit 29 can detect the call signal of the telephone line 21 when the blinking light receiving signal is obtained from the photocoupler 23 or 24.

The detection signal of the busy / call signal detection circuit 29 is given to a control circuit 30 using a CPU. For the control circuit 30, an input circuit 31, a display circuit 32, an operation circuit 33 having an emergency push button and the like, a setting numeric key switch 34 for setting a destination telephone number, etc., a memory circuit 3
5. The relays A, B and C and the dial tone detection circuit 36 are connected.

The tone generator 36 includes a transformer circuit 27.
Of the secondary winding is inputted, and a 400 Hz dial tone transmitted from the exchange of the telephone line 21 can be detected. The operation of the dial tone detection circuit 36 is controlled by the control circuit 30 to control the relays B and C, and the relay contacts 25a and 25
By switching b, the telephone set 22 is disconnected from the telephone line 21, and by switching the relay contacts 26a and 26b, the transformer circuit 27 is connected to the telephone line 21. The relay contacts 25a and 25b are operated by the relay B, and the relay contacts 26a and 26b are operated by the relay C.

The detection of the dial tone by the dial tone detection circuit 36 is performed during the line abnormality detection processing of the control circuit 30.
This is performed when neither the busy detection signal nor the paging signal detection signal is obtained from the paging signal detection circuit 29.

A dialer circuit 41 is connected to the control circuit 30 so that the relay A
The dial pulse can be transmitted to the telephone line 21 by opening and closing the switch. The dialer circuit 41 converts the PB signal composed of a multi-frequency signal into an audio amplifier 54 and a transformer circuit 2.
7, and can be transmitted to the telephone line 21 via relay contacts 26a and 26b .

Further, the control circuit 30 is provided with a voice synthesizing circuit 51 for notifying the fire engine 4 of a predetermined voice message by an automatic dial when an abnormality such as a fire occurs. The voice synthesizing circuit 51 receives a command from the control circuit 30, reads out a predetermined voice message stored in the memory circuit 52, converts it into an analog voice signal, and outputs a band-pass filter 53, a voice amplifier 54, a transformer circuit 27, Voice messages can be sent to the telephone line 21 via the relay contacts 26a and 26b.

The emergency notification device 1 also includes a speaker 55
When a notification signal from the fire receiver 2 or an activation signal from the remote activation device 3 is input by the fire notification processing by the control circuit 30, a notification output instruction to the voice synthesis circuit 51 is issued. The obtained voice message is provided to the amplifier 56, and is notified from the speaker 55.

The feature of this embodiment is that the control circuit 30
Controls the operation of the voice synthesizing circuit 51 so that when the remote starter 3 is operated, the operator is notified of the notification state to the fire engine 4 by voice, and the voice synthesizing circuit 51 similarly issues a command from the control circuit 30. In response to this, a predetermined voice message for confirming the notification state stored in the memory circuit 52 is read and converted into an analog voice signal, and the voice message is transmitted to the speaker 55 via the band-pass filter 53 and the voice amplifiers 54 and 56. Can be sent.
The speaker 55 notifies a voice message for confirming a report state.

On the other hand, the output of the audio amplifier 56 is
5 as well as to a speaker 61 located in the remote activation device. The remote start device 3 has a start push button 62 operated by an operator. When the start push button 62 is operated, a start signal is generated and output to the input circuit 31 of the emergency notification device 1. The circuit for generating the activation signal is in the remote activation device 3. In addition, the state of notification to the fire engine 4 is notified by voice from a speaker (corresponding to notification means) 61 to notify the operator. The control circuit 30 constitutes control means, and includes a voice synthesis circuit 51 and a memory circuit 52.
Constitutes the voice synthesis means 70.

The fire alarm receiver 2 receives a detection signal from a fire detector 81 arranged on the ceiling in the room of the building and outputs the detection signal to a detector line 8.
2 and, when it is determined that a fire has occurred, a transfer signal is output to the input circuit 31 of the emergency notification device 1 to activate the emergency notification device 1.

Next, the operation of this embodiment having the above configuration will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the emergency notification control program. This program is a processing procedure when the emergency notification device 1 is activated by operating the activation push button 62 provided in the remote activation device 3.

When the program starts, it is first determined in step S1 whether or not there is an activation signal for activating the emergency notification device 1. This activation signal is generated when the activation push button 62 provided on the remote activation device 3 is operated. If there is no start signal, the process stands by at step S1. Therefore, in a normal case where a fire does not occur, the process stays at step S1.

On the other hand, when a fire occurs and a person who witnesses the scene of the fire operates the start push button 62 provided in the remote start device 3, a start signal is generated in the remote start device 3 and output to the emergency notification device 1. Is done. In the emergency notification device 1, the start signal is transmitted to the control circuit 30 through the input circuit 31.
And the control circuit 30 determines that there is a start signal, and the determination result in the step S1 is YES, and the process proceeds to the subsequent step S2.

In step S2, a process of notifying the operator of the remote activation device 3 of a report start message is performed. Specifically, the voice synthesizing circuit 51 operates to read, for example, a voice message for starting a fire report from the memory circuit 52, convert the voice message into an analog voice signal, and output the analog voice signal to the speaker via the band-pass filter 53 and the voice amplifiers 54 and 56. When the voice message is sent to 55, it is also sent to the speaker 61 arranged in the remote starter.

As a result, the operator who operates the start-up push button 62 of the remote start-up device 3 is notified from the speaker 61 by, for example, a message with a voice synthesis sound saying "Start reporting now." Therefore, the operator can easily know that the fire report to the fire engine 4 is started.

Next, the process proceeds to step S3, where the telephone line is captured. That is, the relay contacts 25a and 25b are switched by the operation of the relay B to switch the telephone
1 and at the same time, the relay contacts 26a and 26b are switched by the operation of the relay C to connect the primary winding of the transformer circuit 27 to the telephone line 21. Thereby, the telephone 2
The same state as when the second handset is off-hook is obtained.

Then, in step S4, the presence or absence of a 400 Hz dial tone from the exchange side for telephone line capture is checked based on the detection output of the dial tone detection circuit 36. If the dial tone is obtained normally, the flow proceeds to step S6. move on. On the other hand, if the dial tone cannot be obtained, it is determined that the telephone is in a call, a call is being made, or the line is abnormal, and the telephone line is opened in step S5.
That is, the relays B and C are restored, and step S3 is performed again.
Is repeated.

When the operation proceeds to step S6 in a state where the dial tone is obtained, the dialer circuit 41 activates the PB signal, which is a combination of multi-frequency signals, via the audio amplifier 54 , the transformer circuit 27, and the relay contacts 26a, 26b. Sends out to line 21.

Next, in step S7, it is checked whether or not the call destination (here, for example, the fire engine 4) has turned off due to off-hook. If there is no reversal, the process proceeds to step S8,
If the fixed time has not elapsed, the process returns to step S7 again to check for the presence or absence of reversal, and repeats this reversal check.

If no reversal is obtained after a certain period of time, the flow advances from step S8 to step S5 to release the telephone line. At this time, a voice message saying, for example, "Because the telephone line is not connected, call back again." May be notified to the operator who has operated the activation push button 62 of the remote activation device 3.

When it is determined in step S7 that the callee has turned off due to off-hook, the flow advances to step S9 to perform a process of sending out a fire notification. That is, the voice synthesizing circuit 51 is operated to read out a predetermined voice message indicating the occurrence of fire stored in the memory circuit 52 and convert it into an analog voice signal.
4. Send a voice message to the telephone line 21 via the transformer circuit 27 and the relay contacts 26a and 26b. As a result, the fire notification message synthesized by voice is notified to the fire department 4 via the telephone line 6 via the NTT 5.

As described above, when the emergency notification device 1 operates,
When the notification is made to the number 19 or the like, a fire notification message is transmitted immediately at the timing of the on-hook of the other party's telephone regardless of the voice of the other party.

As the fire notification message, for example,
It's a fire, a fire. It is a fire. Here
Are Tokyo Metropolitan Government, ○○ City, Takamachi, □□ Address ☆☆ Co., Ltd. Reverse
I believe in you. Styleis there. In addition,
"Reverse communication" means that a call is made from the other party in the 119th call.
If there is, hold the line even if the conversation ends
To call the other party
U.

The report destination is not limited to the fire department 4, and the fire report message synthesized by voice may be simultaneously reported to the related houses 11a to 11n via the telephone line 6 via the NTT 5.

Next, in step S10, a process of notifying the notifying message is performed. That is, the voice synthesizing circuit 51 is operated in the same manner as described above, and for example, a voice message indicating that a fire notification is being performed is read from the memory circuit 52, and
The signal is converted to an analog audio signal,
The voice message is transmitted to the speaker 55 via the voice amplifiers 54 and 56, and is also transmitted to the speaker 61 disposed in the remote starter.

As a result, the operator who operates the start-up push button 62 of the remote start-up device 3 is notified from the speaker 61, for example, by a voice-synthesized sound message “Fire is being reported to the fire department.” Therefore, the operator can easily know the progress status of the notification at the present time.

At this time, for example, the report destination is the fire engine 4
In this case, the contents of the response from the fire engine 4 may be amplified as it is, and reported from the speaker 61 arranged in the remote activation device 3. By doing so, the operator of the remote activation device 3 can easily know the contents of the response of the fire engine 4, which is convenient. Also, when the report destination is the concerned person's house 11a to 11n, the content of the response from the report destination may be similarly amplified as it is and reported from the speaker 61.

Next, in step S11, it is determined whether or not there is a reversal due to the on-hook of the report destination. If there is no reversal, the process returns to step S9 and repeats the processing of steps S9 and S10.
When the reversal is determined, the process proceeds to step S12 to open the telephone line 21 by restoring the relays B and C. Thereafter, in step S13, a process of notifying a report completion message is performed. That is, the voice synthesizing circuit 51 is similarly operated to read out the voice message indicating that the fire notification is completed from the memory circuit 52, convert the voice message into an analog voice signal, and perform the band-pass filter 53, the voice amplifiers 54 and 56.
The voice message is transmitted to the speaker 55 via the speaker, and is also transmitted to the speaker 61 arranged in the remote activation device.

As a result, the operator who operates the start-up push button 62 of the remote start-up device 3 is notified from the speaker 61 by, for example, a message with a voice synthesis sound “Fire notification is completed.” Therefore, the operator can easily know that the fire notification has been completed.

The above is the processing procedure when the emergency notification device 1 is activated by operating the activation push button 62 provided on the remote activation device 3. The activation of the emergency notification device 1 is also possible by the fire alarm receiver 2. It is. In this case, when the fire alarm receiver 2 determines that a fire has occurred based on the detection signal from the fire detector 81, the alarm signal is output to the input circuit 31 of the emergency alarm system 1 and the emergency alarm system 1 is activated. The subsequent processing procedure is almost the same as that of FIG. 3, except that the fire alarm receiver 2 automatically outputs a transfer signal, so that it is not necessary to notify the operator of a notification state message. Is not done.

As a message reported from the fire alarm receiver 2 to the fire engine 4, for example, “Ping-pong, ping-pong, fire. The automatic fire alarm system has been activated. This is a corporation.

As described above, in this embodiment, when a person who witnessed the occurrence of a fire operates the remote activation device 3, an activation signal is generated and output to the emergency notification device 1. The emergency notification device 1 creates a fire notification message and notifies the fire department 4 and the like via the telephone line 6. At this time, voice synthesis is performed in accordance with the notification state to the fire department 4 and the like, and a voice synthesis message indicating that the notification has been started, during the notification, and the completion of the notification is reported to the operator at the location of the remote activation device 3.

Thus, the operator of the remote activation device 3
The fire department is definitely receiving that message,
Then, it is possible to accurately grasp the situation where the user is informed that the notification has been completed. As a result, it is possible to take appropriate measures in an emergency such as a fire.

For example, when the fire engine 4 or the like has not received the fire notification message without fail, it is possible to immediately take a call by itself and report it.

In the above-described embodiment, the automatic notification is performed in response to the transfer signal from the fire alarm receiver 2 and the activation signal from the remote activation device 3. It is also possible to receive a transfer signal or directly connect various security sensors (fire detectors, security sensors, etc.), receive the abnormal signal, create a message corresponding to the signal, and report it. Is, of course.

[0059]

According to the present invention, when the remote starter is operated to notify the fire engine or the like, the voice synthesizing means is activated according to the state of the report, and the remote starter is located at the location of the remote starter. The operator is notified of the message as a voice-synthesized message, so the fire department or the like is receiving the message without fail. , Can be accurately grasped at that location. As a result, appropriate measures can be taken in an emergency such as a fire.
