Description

  The present invention relates to a control device and a notification broadcasting system.

  Notification broadcasting systems for performing various types of notification broadcasting from a center to a plurality of dwelling units are widespread. This notification broadcasting system is generally configured by connecting a center device arranged on the center side and a receiver installed in each dwelling unit via a transmission line such as CATV. When a local event is held or a general broadcast such as FM radio broadcast or an emergency broadcast in the event of a fire or earthquake, the center device transmits a notification broadcast signal via a transmission line. The receiver receives the notification broadcast and outputs the announcement broadcast through a speaker (see, for example, Patent Document 1 (paragraph 0012)).

  In this announcement broadcasting, there is a case where it is desired to broadcast only to a specific dwelling unit instead of all dwelling units depending on the purpose and content of the broadcast. For example, I want to broadcast information about a specific administrative district only to each unit in that administrative district, or I want to broadcast information about a specific geriatric association or women's association only to each dwelling unit enrolled in that association. There is a case.

  In this way, as a method of performing announcement broadcasting only through a specific receiver, announcement broadcasting is performed based on an individual address for uniquely identifying the receiver (for example, an individual address set when the receiver is shipped from the factory). There is a way to do. For example, the center device transmits an individual address together with the notification broadcast signal, and the receiver determines whether or not the individual address received from the center device matches the individual address set in advance. Announcement broadcasts. However, in such a method using only individual addresses, when broadcasting for a specific plurality of dwelling units is performed, a notification broadcast signal must be transmitted for each individual address from the center device. Signal transmission is complicated.

  Therefore, there is a method of broadcasting to a specific dwelling unit based on a group address for uniquely identifying a group to which a specific plurality of receivers (dwelling units) belong. For example, the center device transmits a predetermined group address together with the announcement broadcast signal, and the receiver determines whether or not the predetermined group address received from the center device matches the group address preset in the receiver. Judgment is made, and if it matches, an announcement broadcast is performed. As a result, the center device only needs to set the broadcast data included in the notification broadcast signal for each group address, so that the setting of the notification broadcast signal is facilitated as compared with the method using only the individual address.

  Here, conventionally, as the group address setting in the receiver, setting data for setting the group address is transmitted together with the individual address from the center device, and the individual address received from the center device in the receiver and the receiver's It is determined whether or not the individual address matches, and if it matches, the group address is set to self.

(processing)
Next, processing executed by the control device 70 and the receiver 20 configured as described above will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart of processing executed by the control device 70. FIG. 6 is a flowchart of processing executed by the receiver 20. The execution timing of these processes is arbitrary, for example, when the control device 70 and the receiver 20 are powered on. In the following description, the step of the control device 70 is abbreviated as “SA”, and the step of the receiver 20 is abbreviated as “SB”.

  First, the processing of the control device 70 will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the control unit 75 of the control device 70 monitors whether or not the telephone receiving unit 72 has received a group address setting request from the telephone 60 via the telephone line network 50 (for example, the telephone 60). After the access to the control device 70 from the telephone, the telephone receiving unit 72 monitors whether or not the password for performing the group address setting process is received from the telephone 60 via the telephone line network 50) (SA1).

  Here, when the telephone receiving unit 72 receives a group address setting request from the telephone 60 via the telephone line network 50 (SA1, Yes), the control unit 75 of the control device 70 calls the guide information by the guide unit 74. Transmission is performed via the line network 50 (SA2).

  The specific content of the guidance information is arbitrary. For example, the guidance unit 74 first transmits information about a voice message “Please enter individual address information” to the telephone 60. Next, after the telephone receiving unit 72 of the control device 70 receives the individual address information from the telephone set 60, the guide unit 74 transmits information related to the voice message “Please input group address information” to the telephone set 60. As described above, the guide unit 74 of the control device 70 transmits the guide information on the input method of the individual address information and the group address information to the telephone 60, so that the individual address information and It is possible to guide the input of group address information and to easily set the group address.

  Next, the control unit 75 of the control device 70 monitors whether or not the telephone receiving unit 72 has received individual address information and group address information from the telephone 60 via the telephone line network 50 (SA3).

  As a result, when the telephone receiving unit 72 receives the individual address information and the group address information from the telephone 60 via the telephone line network 50 (SA3, Yes), the control unit 75 of the control device 70 receives the received individual address information. And the group address specified from the group address information are stored in association with each other in the group address information table 76a (SA4). Specifically, in the group address information table 76a, when the group address information is stored in the item “group address” and the group name information is stored in the item “group name” in advance, the control unit 75 of the control device 70 The group address information (here, the group address itself) received from the telephone 60 is correlated with the group address information stored in the corresponding item “group address”, and the individual address information (here) Then, the individual address itself) is stored. Thereby, management of the notification broadcast can be performed based on the individual address and the group address, and the management of the notification broadcast can be facilitated.

  Next, the group setting information generation unit 75a of the control device 70 includes a predetermined control code (character code) for setting the group address in the receiver 20 in addition to the individual address and group address stored in SA4. The group setting information is generated (SA5), and the generated group setting information is transmitted to the head end 41 by the transmission unit 73 (SA6). Thereby, it is possible to set the group address for the receiver 20 without going to the installation facility of the control device 70 and without taking time and effort.

  Here, the method for generating the group setting information is arbitrary. For example, when the telephone receiving unit 72 receives the individual address information and the plurality of group address information from the telephone 60 in the process of SA3 (SA3, Yes). In the process of SA5, the group setting information generation unit 75a of the control device 70 causes the individual address specified from the individual address information and a plurality of group addresses specified from the plurality of group address information (for example, a maximum of 32). (For example, as shown in FIG. 2, “00001” is stored in the “individual address”, and “G10001” and “G20001” are stored in the “group address”). Generate stored group configuration information). Thereby, a plurality of group addresses can be set for one receiver 20 at a time, and work efficiency can be improved.

  Subsequently, after the processing of SA6, the control unit 75 of the control device 70 informs the guide unit 74 that the transmission unit 73 has transmitted the group setting information to the receiver 20 (for example, “group setting information has been transmitted”). Etc.) is transmitted via the telephone network 50 (SA7). Thus, the operator of the telephone 60 can be informed that the transmission unit 73 has transmitted the group setting information to the receiver 20, and the operator can easily confirm that the processing of the control device 70 has been performed appropriately. it can. Thus, the process of the control device 70 ends.

  Next, processing of the receiver 20 will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 29 of the receiver 20 monitors whether the receiving unit 21 has received any information from the control device 70 via the transmission line 42 (SB1).

  Here, when the receiving unit 21 receives some information from the control device 70 via the transmission line 42 (SB1, Yes), the control unit 29 of the receiver 20 stores the individual address included in the received information in the storage unit. It is determined whether or not it matches the individual address stored in 30 (SB2).

  As a result, when the individual address included in the information received by the reception unit 21 matches the individual address stored in the storage unit 30 (SB2, Yes), the control unit 29 of the receiver 20 has received the reception unit 21. It is determined whether or not the control code included in the information is a predetermined code (for example, “1” or the like) for setting the group address in the receiver 20, and the group address is recognized from the information received by the receiving unit 21. It is determined whether or not (SB3).

  As a result, when it is determined that the control code included in the information received by the receiving unit 21 is a predetermined code, and when it is determined that the group address is recognized from the information received by the receiving unit 21 (SB3, Yes). The control unit 29 of the receiver 20 sets the group address (for example, “G10001”, “G20001”) included in the information received by the receiving unit 21 to itself (specifically, stores it in the storage unit 30). (SB4), the set group address is output by the speaker 26, the status display unit 28d, etc. (SB5).

  Here, the output method of the group address information is arbitrary. For example, the control unit 29 of the receiver 20 outputs the group address information through the speaker 26 (for example, the group address information is “G10001”, “G20001”). The voice message “Group address information“ G10001 ”and“ G20001 ”has been set” is output). Alternatively, the control unit 29 of the receiver 20 displays the group address information as a symbol by the status display unit 28d (for example, when the group address information is “G10001” or “G20001”, the status display unit 28d “1.”, “G”, “1”, “0”, “0”, “0”, “1”, “2.”, “G”, “2”, “0”, “0”, “0” and “1” are displayed in this order). Thereby, for example, the group address information can be guided to the worker or the like who installed the receiver 20, and the worker can easily confirm the group address to which the receiver 20 belongs.
