Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a report apparatus automatically switchable to use a handsfree function without picking up a receiver of the report apparatus or the like on a return call. <P>SOLUTION: The report apparatus is provided with a function capable of disconnecting a usually used telephone set or the like from a telephone line during the ringing of the usually used telephone set or the like for 15 seconds by the return call, then shifting to a handsfree state and making handsfree speech communication possible. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a notification device that can automatically switch to a hands-free function in the case of reverse communication in a notification device using a telephone line.

  Conventionally, a reporting device normally handled by a security company or the like has to be switched by a call switch (button) of the reporting device during reverse communication or a call.

Japanese Patent No. 3551865 JP2007-265124A JP2008-109318

  The problems in the above prior art are as follows. In the case of reverse communication with a conventional reporting device or telephone, in order to respond with the hands-free function, it was switched every time with an arbitrary changeover switch (button), but it was a troublesome task for disabled and sick people.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the problem is that, when a reverse call is made in a conventional reporting device or telephone, the changeover switch (button) that responds with a hands-free function can be used even by a disabled person or a sick person. The present invention provides that a hands-free call can be made easily and automatically.

  In order to solve the above problems, in the reporting device according to the present invention, in order to perform hands-free function automatic switching, the normal use telephone is disconnected from the telephone line while the normal use telephone is ringing for 15 seconds due to reverse communication. After that, it shifts to the hands-free state and can make a hands-free call.

  The operation and effect of the notification device according to the present invention is as follows. Even when the notification device is operated by a remote device such as a remote controller, the hands-free function can easily check the situation and communicate with each other, thereby providing the user with peace of mind.

Diagram showing reverse response processing flow

  A preferred embodiment for automatically switching the hands-free function according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining a flow of basic reverse response processing.

As shown in each flow, the reverse response processing that is basic in FIG. 1 is performed.
First, the notification operation lamp of the notification device is turned on 1, and after confirming the incoming call destination, a voice message 2 indicating the address, name, etc. is sent, and the DC circuit is opened 3.
After that, is there a distrust from the reporter? 4 (Even if there is no reverse communication) Connect a normal use telephone 5 and send a voice message 6 "Please pick up the handset".
Less than 15 seconds due to this reversal? When the normal use telephone off-hook cannot be detected by the notification device while ringing 7, the notification device disconnects the normal use telephone from the telephone line and then sends a voice message 8 saying “Please speak.” It shifts to the hands-free state and a hands-free call 9 can be made.
Furthermore, when a call to the reporting destination is made by the reporting device hands-free, after a hands-free call is terminated, a busy tone is detected? 10 will determine if the telephone line is disconnected. Also, when a normal use phone is not off-hook due to physical disability, etc., is it detected for 1 minute of silence? 11 determines that the telephone line is disconnected, and during this time presses the cancel button for 2 seconds? 12 determines that the telephone line is disconnected, and ends the reporting operation.
However, if a call 13 is made using a normal use telephone while ringing for less than 15 seconds 7 due to reverse communication, the reporting device will be in a state of waiting for the call to end, and the normal use telephone on-hook? 14, disconnect the normal use telephone 15, then wait for 4 seconds 16, disconnect the normal use telephone etc. from the telephone line while ringing the normal use telephone etc. for 15 seconds due to reverse communication, then hands-free The notification device completes the notification operation through a notification termination process.

For reporting devices that are usually handled by conventional security companies, it is necessary to switch to hands-free on the reporting device itself when sending a notification signal with an extended push button or remote control and having a mutual conversation such as checking the situation. It was very troublesome and inconvenient.
For people with physical disabilities, it was an impossible act, but by using the reporting device of the present invention, it is possible to easily check the situation and communicate with each other, providing a great deal of security. .

Claims (2)

  A notification device characterized in that it can automatically switch to a hands-free function without operating a notification device or the like and taking a receiver such as the notification device or the like and without switching a changeover switch in the case of reverse communication. 2. The notification device according to claim 1, wherein after the hands-free call of the notification device is terminated, it is possible to determine the disconnection of the telephone line with a busy tone / silence detection / cancel button and to terminate the notification operation.
