Description

The present invention relates to a transmission system and a transmission / reception system.

Even in the present age when IT (Information Technology) represented by the Internet has become widespread and information disparities are less likely to occur, especially in countries or regions where the aging society has advanced or the disparities in information literacy are widening. There are differences in the amount of information given and the means or media of information transmission available between the elderly and the young, or due to the level of information literacy.

Therefore, for example, voice information as a highly accurate information transmission medium for elderly people or citizens with low information literacy is one of the indispensable media as a social basis of information communication.

Due to its high public nature, the disaster prevention radio system, which is one of the main social infrastructures of information and communication, uses speakers to transmit voice information transmitted from local governments or government agencies from ancient times to the present day. Means of communication by broadcasting to are adopted.

So far, a master station device that allows easy selection of a slave station device to be broadcast, a disaster prevention broadcast radio system, and a broadcasting method of the disaster prevention broadcast radio system have been disclosed (Patent Document 1).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2012-4877

As mentioned above, even in modern times, some of the wireless systems or transmission systems (hereinafter collectively referred to as "transmission systems") that have been conventionally adopted in public institutions or facilities such as local governments or public facilities. Is a system that uses only voice information as an information transmission medium. However, it is also strongly required as a social foundation of information and communication to enhance information transmission to citizens or users who can enjoy the convenience of information transmission technology that is constantly developing.

On the other hand, as far as Japan is concerned, the transmission system plays a role not only as an emergency broadcast but also as an administrative broadcast in normal times. In order to convey individual information to each subdivided area, there may be cases where an excessive number of areas that can be managed as a database are set. Therefore, there may be a number of areas to be managed by the transmission system as a database, and a frame not used in the frame of the database for managing the area information, so to speak, a blank or blank frame. In addition, since the number of local governments has decreased significantly compared to the past due to the merger of cities, towns and villages that took place after 2000, for example, the transmission system that has been used before the merger is subject to management as a database. The number of areas to be designated may also decrease with the merger. When the number of such target areas decreased, the above-mentioned blank or blank frame was created. In addition, such a situation is not limited to the example of local public bodies, and similarly, in other transmission systems, the number of areas or divisions to be managed or other work is reduced as compared with the conventional ones. It can be caused by this.

The present invention realizes effective utilization of the target area or the frame of the target area in the transmission system by solving at least a part of each of the above-mentioned problems, and realizes information provision to users with high accuracy or diversification. It greatly contributes to what you do.

The present inventors, even if it is an existing transmission / reception system, can reduce the additional burden on the equipment on the transmission side as much as possible, and then expand the options of the information transmission medium or increase the degree of freedom. I thought that it could contribute to solving at least a part of the problem, so I made a lot of creative work and ingenuity. The present invention was created based on the above-mentioned viewpoint.

One transmission system of the present invention is a transmission system capable of wireless communication. Specifically, the transmission system has two or more area information storage areas that can store area information as a notification destination, the area information, and an area of the area information storage area to which the area information is not assigned. Based on the analysis means that receives the signal including the additional information that identifies the information transmission medium assigned to the above-mentioned area information and analyzes the above-mentioned area information and the additional information, and the analysis result of the analysis means, the additional information. A transmission means for transmitting additional information data associated with the above to a terminal corresponding to the selected area information via an information transmission medium.

According to this transmission system, since the above-mentioned additional information is assigned to the area of the area information storage area to which the area information is not assigned, effective utilization of the target area or the frame of the target area in the transmission system can be realized. .. Further, as described above, since the additional information is additional information that identifies the information transmission medium, for example, the status or setting of the network of a public institution or a public facility, or the status of the network of the terminal on the user side or An effective information transmission medium can be selected according to various circumstances such as settings. The additional information is not limited to one. It is a more preferable aspect that the additional information is additional information that specifies a plurality of information transmission media.

It should be noted that the transmission system described above further comprises storage means for storing voice data associated with the analog voice information in a storage area, and the analysis means described above further receives a signal containing the analog voice information and described above. Based on the analysis result of the analysis means, the transmission means further transmits the access information for making the above-mentioned storage area accessible to the above-mentioned terminal, thereby transmitting the analog voice information and the voice data. This is a preferable mode because it can contribute to the diversification of information media without relying only on the voice speaker as described above. In addition, the user can acquire analog voice information from the access information when necessary, which increases the user's freedom of time.

According to one transmission system of the present invention, since the above-mentioned additional information is assigned to the area of the area information storage area to which the area information is not assigned, the effective utilization of the target area or the frame of the target area in the transmission system. Can be realized.

At least one selected from the group of information.

Next, the configuration and processing of the transmission / reception system and the transmission system 100 of the present embodiment will be described.

In the transmission system 100 of the present embodiment, the activation unit 10 sets the loudness of the volume in addition to the area information storage area 12 that bears the area code (or area code) that specifies the target area or the target area in the transmission system 100. It includes a volume setting area 14 that carries a volume code to be set, and a recording setting area 16 that carries a recording code that selects the presence or absence of recording information. It should be noted that the fact that the transmission system 100 does not include the recording setting area 16, the volume setting area 14, and the recording setting area 16 is also one embodiment of the modification of the present embodiment that can be adopted.

Further, in the area information storage area 12 capable of storing the area information 12a, the area to which the area information 12a is not assigned is utilized. In the present embodiment, in at least a part of this "unallocated area" (hereinafter referred to as "area information non-use area") 12c, additional information 12b that specifies an information transmission medium ("mail (hereinafter," mail () in FIG. 1). E-mail) ") is assigned. This makes it possible to effectively utilize the target area or the frame of the target area in the transmission system 100, and to provide information to users with high accuracy or diversification. Further, when the transmission system 100 is used, at least the division information 12a and the additional information 12b in the area information storage area 12 are first specified in the activation unit 10 (S1 in FIG. 2).

By the way, in FIG. 1, of the area information non-use areas, the additional information 12b is assigned only to a part of the area information non-use areas, but all of the area information non-use areas (in FIG. 1). Assigning additional information different from the additional information 12b to all (including the area information non-use area 12c) is also a preferable aspect from the viewpoint of realizing information provision to diversified users. Further, in FIG. 1, two areas are explicitly shown as area information non-use areas, but the number of area information non-use areas is not limited to two. For example, the number of target area information 12a to be managed, etc. is reduced with respect to the existing transmission system in which the area is set excessively, or due to the merger of cities, towns and villages, and three or more areas where the area information is not used are formed. Applying the transmission system 100 of the present embodiment and the transmission / reception system of the present embodiment to the existing transmission system has been extremely preferable from the viewpoint of effective utilization of the existing equipment.

Further, the transmission system 100 of the present embodiment is provided with an operation console 20. The control console 20 receives the activation unit 10 and the area information 12a and additional information 12b specified or selected from the activation unit 10, modulates the signals of the area information 12a and the additional information 12b, and then transmits the signals to the radio unit 40. Including part 30.

In the present embodiment, the control unit 30 converts the signals of the area information 12a and the additional information 12b into MSK signals (S2 in FIG. 2), and then transmits the modulated signals to the radio 40 (S3 in FIG. 2). ) Is one embodiment in which the signal is transmitted without being modulated.

The modulation method of the signal is not particularly limited, but a typical modulation method is a modulation method in which the phase changes continuously on the time axis. In particular, since the MSK (Minimum Shift Keying) modulation method is often adopted in the existing transmission system, the adoption of the MSK modulation method in the transmission system 100 of the present embodiment is to the existing transmission system. This is a preferred embodiment because of its high adaptability. In addition, as described above, in some cases or as necessary, the control unit 30 may, as necessary, modulate the signal from the recording setting area 16 or the signal from the volume setting area 14 and the recording setting area 16 and then wirelessly. It can be transmitted to the machine 40.

The radio 40 of the present embodiment transmits at least each signal of the area information 12a and the additional information 12b modulated by the MSK modulation method as an analog radio signal. In addition to the above-mentioned modulated signals, further modulated or unmodulated analog voice information may be transmitted as an analog radio signal, if necessary.
