Description

  The present invention relates to a master station facility, an automatic program report control method, an automatic program report control program, and a broadcast radio system that support automatic program report that automatically broadcasts at a designated date and time.

  Broadcast radio systems are widely used as disaster evacuation broadcasts and daily administrative communication means. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a general broadcast radio system. The broadcast radio system includes a broadcasting equipment group 1-1, a master station equipment 1-2, and a slave station equipment group 1-3. The broadcast equipment group 1-1 makes a broadcast request to the master station equipment 1-2 as necessary. The master station facility 1-2 selects one or a plurality of slave station facilities to be broadcasted (hereinafter referred to as broadcast target stations) from the slave station facility group 1-3, and wirelessly calls the selected slave station facility. Send a signal. The slave station equipment selected as the broadcast target station from the master station equipment 1-2 in the slave station equipment group 1-3 receives the radio paging signal transmitted from the master station equipment 1-2, and -4 is broadcast.

  Also, in a general broadcast radio system, broadcasts performed from the master station equipment are classified into three types: manual broadcast, automatic broadcast, and automatic program report depending on the operation of the master station equipment when starting the broadcast. being classified. Manual broadcasting is broadcasting in which broadcasting is activated in accordance with instructions from an operator who operates the master station facility or the broadcasting facility. Automatic broadcasting is broadcasting in which a master station facility receives a signal from a broadcasting facility that automatically activates broadcasting by wire or wirelessly and activates broadcasting. The automatic program report is a broadcast in which the master station equipment automatically starts broadcasting at a date and time designated in advance.

  Non-Patent Document 1 describes a communication control sequence example of a broadcast radio system when the broadcast radio system issues an automatic program report.

  In addition, in Patent Document 1, automatic program notification records a sound source for broadcasting in advance, registers the date / time to be notified and the broadcast target station, and the registration date / time matches. It is sometimes described that the broadcast automatically informs the sound source.

  As described above, the automatic program report is a broadcast in which the operator reserves the broadcast contents, the broadcast start time, and the broadcast target station in advance, and in an ordinary broadcast radio system, the automatic program report program is several years ahead. It is possible to register a plurality of automatic program report programs on any day. The automatic program report program can be changed or deleted after registration. In addition, the automatic program report program broadcasts immediately (broadcast that is immediately implemented using the broadcasting target registered as the automatic program report program as the broadcast target and the broadcast sound source registered as the automatic program report program as the broadcast sound source). Is possible. In addition, automatic program reporting in a general broadcast radio system involves registering the automatic program reporting program and the operation form in which the console centrally manages the automatic program reporting program in the system and broadcasts the automatic program reporting. There is an operation form in which each of the broadcasting facilities capable of managing the program independently manages the automatic program report program and broadcasts the automatic program report.

  The function of automatic program notification in a general broadcast radio system is as described above. With this function, a general broadcast radio system can perform a scheduled broadcast (a broadcast that is broadcast regularly at a specific time every day or on a specific day of the week). Regular broadcasts are broadcast at least once a day when operating the broadcast radio system, even during normal times when no disaster occurs, as a broadcast for administrative communication, time signal, crime prevention, or as a test broadcast of the broadcast radio system There are many cases.

  On the other hand, in Patent Document 2, when broadcasting is performed manually or automatically in a general broadcast radio system, a “selective call destination” (broadcast radio is received that has been set manually or fixedly until now). A technology for automatically switching a slave station device that broadcasts loudly according to the date and time (current date and time information) at the time of broadcasting is described.

  Patent Document 3 also includes a table that summarizes the correspondence between the time zone, day of week, public holidays, etc., and the telephone number to be called by the slave station when an emergency call operation is performed from the operation unit, and the current time (at that time) And a technology for automatically selecting a telephone number to be transmitted.

  In general broadcast wireless systems such as Non-Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 1, in order to register an automatic program notification program, broadcast start time information, broadcast target station information, or a sound source used for broadcasting is manually created. Must be selected.

  Also, in the broadcast radio system, the automatic program report program must be set repeatedly (setting to broadcast to the same district at the same time every day, setting to broadcast to the same district at the same time on a specific day of the week). Thus, there is a system that can register a plurality of automatic program report programs at once. However, even in such a broadcast radio system, the registration work thereof is a manual work. In addition, automatic program notification programs registered using repeat settings will not be broadcast on specific days (delete automatic program notification programs), change the automatic program notification broadcast start time on specific days, specific During this period, all operations such as changing the broadcast target station of the automatic program report program must be performed manually.

(Description of operation)
In the following description, a case where an automatic program report program is automatically registered (automatically created) using a calendar attribute is illustrated. Specifically, when the control condition of the automatic program report program is registered in the recording unit 2-6 of the console 2-4, the control unit 2-7 of the console 2-4 calculates using the control condition. The automatic program report program is automatically created by the unit 2-8 and registered in the recording unit 2-6.

  For example, in the broadcast radio system in which the control condition of the automatic program report program has a priority (hereinafter referred to as the priority of the program control condition), and the priority of the program control condition is higher when the priority value of the program control condition is smaller A table (see FIG. 5) that defines the relationship between the priority of program control conditions and the program control conditions, and tables (see FIGS. 6, 7, and 8) that define various program control settings are displayed on the console 2- 4 is recorded in the recording unit 2-6.

  In the first table shown in FIG. 5, 0 indicating the highest priority is set as the minimum value of the priority of the program control condition. Usually, in the automatic program notification program, one or more priorities excluding 0 are set. Shall be used. In this example, it is possible to set a plurality of attributes manually and automatically in the calendar. Here, “weekdays”, “Saturday”, and “Sunday” are automatically registered as calendar attributes. It is assumed that the attribute of 8/31 is manually registered as “summer vacation” and the attribute of 8/1 and 8/20 is manually registered as “school event” (assumed to be a school day). In addition, the calendar information and attribute management method can be set and managed on the console 2-4, and information set on other devices can be copied to the console 2-4 (data on the console 2-4). Or the console 2-4 shares information set by another device.

  When these attributes are registered, the control unit 2-7 of the console 2-4 controls the calendar attributes, the priority of the program control conditions recorded in the recording unit 2-6, the program control conditions, and the program control settings. Use to automatically register an automatic program report program.

  As a result, for the automatic program notification from July to August, for the weekdays from 7/1 to 7/19, the priority 8 of the program control condition in the first table (FIG. 5), the second table (FIG. 5) 6) Management number 2-5, Management number 3-1 and 3-2 in the third table (FIG. 7), and Management number 4-5 in the fourth table (FIG. 8). Automatic program report program that broadcasts to slave station equipment other than the slave station equipment groups (slave station equipment management numbers 20 to 49) and broadcasts the sound source H to all slave station equipment from 18:00 It is registered with.

  For Saturday, 12 according to the priority 6 of the program control condition in the first table, the management number 2-3 in the second table, the management number 3-1 in the third table, and the management number 4-3 in the fourth table. Automatic program notification programs for broadcasting the sound source C from time to time and the sound source D from 17:30 to all the slave station facilities are automatically registered.

  For Sunday, 18 according to the priority 7 of the program control condition in the first table, the management number 2-4 in the second table, the management number 3-1 in the third table, and the management number 4-4 in the fourth table. From time to time, an automatic program report program for broadcasting the sound source E to all the slave station facilities is automatically registered.

Also, during the summer holidays from July 20th to August 31st, there are no broadcasts for the school days of 8/1 and 8/20 due to the priority 2 of the program control conditions in the first table (automatic program notification No program), and other days, the priority 4 of the program control condition in the first table, the management number 2-1 in the second table, the management number 3-1 in the third table, and the management number 4 in the fourth table -1 automatically registers an automatic program report program for broadcasting the sound source A to all the slave station facilities from 17:00 in the evening.
(Explanation of effect)
According to the first embodiment described above, the burden on the operator at the time of registration and management of the automatic program report program is reduced, and automatic broadcast of the automatic program report, forgetting to broadcast, mistakes in the broadcast setting, etc. are prevented, and automatic It is possible to provide appropriate information to the residents through flexible operation of the program report.

The reason for this is that when registering an automatic program report program, broadcast start time information and broadcast target stations, and registration of sound sources to be broadcast for each automatic program report program to be reported, which are required in general broadcast radio systems For example, it is possible to automatically register the automatic program report program by automatically identifying the presence / absence of broadcast, broadcast start time, broadcast target station, and sound source according to the attributes of the calendar. Because it becomes.
[Second Embodiment]
Prior to the description of the second embodiment, a general broadcast radio system will be described in more detail.

  In Non-Patent Document 1, in a general broadcast radio system, a slave station facility is defined as a transmission / reception facility that receives radio waves from a master station facility and transmits the contents of a report. This is synonymous with the slave station equipment included in the slave station equipment group described in FIG.

  In addition, the slave station equipment installed outdoors in a general broadcast radio system operates by receiving power from a commercial power source during normal times. In the event of an emergency, when the supply of power from the commercial power supply is stopped due to a power failure or the like, the slave station equipment installed outdoors operates with the internal power supply. The operable time is a condition that the slave station equipment installed outdoors broadcasts for 5 minutes per hour under the condition that the internal power supply of the slave station equipment installed outdoors is new and fully charged. Assuming the usage method of pausing for a minute (without performing loudspeaking broadcasting and waiting for a radio signal from the master station equipment), it can be operated for 24 hours, 48 hours, or 72 hours depending on the capacity of the internal power supply. It is generally guaranteed that the broadcast time is 2 hours, 4 hours, and 6 hours in total.

  In this way, in a situation where the slave station equipment installed outdoors in an emergency operates with only the internal power supply, the time during which the slave station equipment installed outdoors can be broadcast is limited. Therefore, it is possible to operate the broadcast radio system with the policy that only the highly urgent broadcasting is performed for the slave station equipment that is operated only by the internal power supply and that the broadcasting is not urgent as much as possible. It becomes important.

  To encourage such system operation to the system operator, depending on the slave station equipment installed outdoors, it is detected that the supply of power from the commercial power supply has stopped, and the master station equipment is notified accordingly. Some have a function to notify automatically. In addition, for slave station equipment installed outdoors that does not have a function to notify the master station equipment spontaneously, the master station equipment can be placed outdoors by monitoring the status of the slave station using the polling method from the master station equipment. It is possible to grasp the situation such as the stop of the power supply by the commercial power source to the installed slave station equipment.

  In general broadcast radio systems, there are two types of slave station equipment, “with an answerback function” and “without an answerback function”. An answerback is a response to the status monitoring in a polling format from the master station. The slave station equipment with an answerback function has a wireless transmission function, and the power of the commercial power supply is supplied to the master station equipment. Information such as supply stop can be transmitted. On the other hand, a slave station facility with no answerback function does not have a wireless transmission function, and cannot transmit information such as a supply stop of power from a commercial power source to the master station facility.

  For this reason, the only slave station equipment with which the master station equipment can grasp the state of the equipment, such as the stop of the supply of power from the commercial power supply, is the slave station equipment with “an answer back function” (the slave station with no answer back function). Regarding the equipment, the master station equipment cannot grasp the status of the equipment such as the stop of the power supply by the commercial power source). That is, in a broadcast radio system maintained in each municipality due to the occurrence of a major earthquake, etc., when one of the slave station facilities notifies the master station facility that the supply of power from the commercial power source has been stopped, Similarly, there is a possibility that the supply of electric power from the commercial power supply is stopped in the other slave station facilities in the information radio system (slave station facilities having no answerback function).

  Based on the above contents, problems other than the problems described above will be described for a general broadcast radio system. In a general broadcast radio system, automatic program notification is performed by setting automatic program notification program settings (pre-registered broadcast target stations, pre-registered broadcast settings (broadcast start time information, broadcast volume, presence / absence and number of repeated broadcasts, broadcast Broadcast) from the master station equipment to one or more slave station equipment in accordance with the priority of the sound source registered in advance) Even if the supply of commercial power to the slave station equipment installed is stopped, broadcasts from the master station equipment according to the settings of the automatic program report program, unless the operator manually changes or deletes the automatic program report program Broadcast to the target station automatically. As a result, if the broadcast station of the automatic program notification program includes a slave station facility that has stopped supplying commercial power, the internal power source of the slave station facility that has stopped supplying commercial power There has been a problem of being consumed by automatic program notifications that broadcast low-content broadcasts (for example, scheduled broadcasts that broadcast music and fixed phrases).

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a broadcast radio system 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

  In a general broadcast radio system, when the geographical range covered by the broadcast radio system is wide, the range is divided, and a plurality of radio transmission / reception devices are used, and the slave stations existing in each divided range In many cases, each wireless transmission / reception apparatus controls an equipment group. Therefore, the broadcast radio system 200 includes a plurality of radio transmission / reception devices 3-2 and 3-5.

  In addition, in the following description, when one or more slave station facilities 3-14 are installed outdoors and the supply of commercial power is stopped, the function of performing automatic control of the automatic program report program of the automatic program report is provided. The operation of the broadcast radio system premised on the possession of will be described. In addition, the slave station equipment 3-14 installed outdoors in this broadcast radio system detects that the supply of power from the commercial power supply has stopped at the time of a power failure, and notifies the master station equipment accordingly. Suppose that it has the function to do.

  Assume that a large earthquake has occurred and the supply of power from the commercial power supply to the slave station equipment 3-14 installed outside the broadcast radio system has stopped. At this time, the control unit 3-17 of the slave station facility 3-14 detects that the supply of power from the commercial power source to the power source unit 3-19 is stopped, and the power source of the slave station facility 3-14 is switched to the internal power source. And the fact that the supply of power from the commercial power supply is stopped is recorded in the recording unit 3-16. Next, the control unit 3-17 of the slave station facility 3-14 uses the information related to the operating state of the slave station facility 3-14 recorded in the recording unit 3-16 to execute the parent unit 3-18. Generates a signal to be sent to the station equipment, notifying that the supply of power from the commercial power supply has been stopped. Then, the control unit 3-17 of the slave station equipment 3-14 notifies the master station equipment radio antenna 3-4 of the master station equipment that the power supply by the commercial power supply has been stopped from the slave station equipment radio antenna 3-12. A wireless signal including a signal to be transmitted is transmitted.

  The master station facility receives a radio signal including a signal notifying that the supply of power from the commercial power supply is stopped, transmitted from the slave station facility 3-14, by the master station facility radio antenna 3-4. A signal received from the slave station equipment 3-14 by the master station equipment radio antenna 3-4 and notifying that the supply of power from the commercial power supply has been stopped is transmitted via the radio transceiver 3-5 to the console 3- 6 to the control unit 3-9. The operator console 3-6 confirms the signal that the supply of power from the commercial power source to the slave station equipment 3-14 is stopped in the controller 3-9, and notifies the recording unit 3 of the operator console 3-6. Record in -8.

  In this situation, in the second embodiment, the console 3-6 controls the following automatic program report program (broadcast) according to the settings of the system parameters (setting items, system initial setting file, etc.) of the broadcast radio system. It is assumed that the start time is changed, the broadcast target station is changed, and the program is deleted).

  Note that the recording unit 3-8 of the console 3-6 stores the position information of the slave station equipment 3-14 in the broadcast radio system, or supplies power to any one or more slave station equipment 3-14. It is assumed that broadcast exclusion group information specifying a slave station facility group to be excluded from a broadcast target station together with the slave station facility 3-14 when registered is registered in advance. In the slave station facility 3-14 that has notified the master station facility that the supply of power from the commercial power source has been stopped, the slave station indicates that the supply of power from the commercial power source to the power source unit 3-19 has been restored. When the control unit 3-17 of the facility 3-14 detects, the control unit 3-17 of the slave station facility 3-14 moves from the slave station facility radio antenna 3-12 to the master station facility radio antenna 3-4 of the master station facility. A wireless signal including a signal notifying that the supply of power from the commercial power source has been restored is transmitted.

  Then, the master station facility receives a radio signal including a signal notifying that the supply of power from the commercial power source has been restored, transmitted from the slave station facility 3-14, at the master station facility radio antenna 3-4. . The signal that is received from the slave station equipment 3-14 by the master station equipment radio antenna 3-4 and that the supply of power from the commercial power source has been restored is sent via the radio transceiver 3-5 to the console 3- 6 to the control unit 3-9. The operator console 3-6 confirms in the controller 3-9 a signal indicating that the supply of power from the commercial power source to the slave station equipment 3-14 has been restored, and notifies the operator of the signal to the recorder 3-8 of the operator console. Record. At this time, whether or not the master station equipment returns control to the automatic program report program for which automatic control of the automatic program report program (change of broadcast start time, change of broadcast target station, program deletion) has been performed or not. It is assumed that it can be set with the system parameters of the console.

  First operation of the second embodiment (in the system parameters of the broadcast radio system, when one or more of the local station equipment installed outdoors stops supplying commercial power, the commercial power supply is stopped) The operation of the system when it is set to change the broadcast time of the automatic program report program including the equipment in the broadcast target station will be described.

  As described above, the control unit 3-9 of the console 3-6 confirms a signal indicating that the supply of power from the commercial power source to the slave station equipment 3-14 is stopped, and notifies that to the recording unit 3- 8, the control unit 3-9 of the console 3-6 detects the slave station facility 3 from which the supply of power by the commercial power source is stopped from the automatic program report programs recorded in the recording unit 3-8. -14 searches for an automatic program report program included in the broadcast target station. Then, among the automatic program notification programs found as a result of the search, the broadcast start time of the automatic program notification program is changed for an automatic program notification program scheduled to be broadcast within a predetermined time from the current time. Specifically, operations such as delaying the broadcast start time by a predetermined time, changing the broadcast start time to the same time on the next day, and the like can be considered. Note that after this control is performed, the control unit 3-9 of the console 3-6 is powered by the commercial power source recorded in the recording unit 3-8 at a specific time or every predetermined time as necessary. Confirm the information of the slave station equipment 3-14 for which the supply of is stopped. When the supply of power from the commercial power supply to any one or more of the slave station facilities 3-14 is stopped, the control unit 3-9 of the console 3-6 is recorded in the recording unit 3-8. From the automatic program report program, the slave station facility 3-14 in which the supply of power from the commercial power supply is stopped searches for the automatic program report program included in the broadcast target station. The control unit 3-9 of the console 3-6 sets the broadcast start time of the automatic program report program for the automatic program report program scheduled to be broadcast within the time specified in advance from the current time among the corresponding automatic program report programs. It is changed (similar processing is repeated at a specific time or every predetermined time until the supply of power from the commercial power source to the slave station equipment 3-14 is restored).

  In the first operation described above, when one or more slave station facilities notify the master station facility that the supply of power from the commercial power source has been stopped, the master station facility sets the broadcast start time of the automatic program report program. It is changed automatically. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the broadcast with low importance from being executed in an emergency. As a result, the supply of electric power from the commercial power supply is stopped, the operation time of the slave station equipment that operates with the internal power supply can be extended, and important disaster information can be reliably communicated to the residents even in an emergency. Become.

  Second operation of the second embodiment (in the system parameters of the broadcast radio system, when one or more slave station equipment installed outdoors stops supplying commercial power, the slave station whose commercial power supply is stopped) Number of surroundings of the slave station equipment that has notified that only the slave station equipment for which the supply of commercial power has been stopped or the supply of power from the commercial power supply has been stopped from the broadcast target station of the automatic program report program that includes the equipment in the broadcast target station Multiple sub-station transmission / reception systems or sub-station equipment groups that belong to the broadcast exclusion group that includes the sub-station equipment that is installed within km, or the sub-station equipment that has notified that the supply of power from the commercial power supply has stopped When a device exists, a wireless transmission / reception device that has received a wireless signal including a signal notifying that the supply of power from the commercial power supply has been stopped from a slave station facility from which the supply of the commercial power supply has stopped. Gosuru operation of the system when it is set to exclude slave station equipment group) will be described.

  As described above, the console 3-6 confirms in the control unit 3-9 a signal indicating that the supply of power from the commercial power source to the slave station equipment 3-14 is stopped, and this is indicated to the effect. After recording in -8, the control unit 3-9 of the console 3-6, the slave station equipment in which the supply of power from the commercial power source is stopped from the automatic program report programs recorded in the recording unit 3-8 3-14 searches for an automatic program report program included in the broadcast target station. Then, from the broadcast target station of the automatic program report program found as a result of the search, only the slave station facility 3-14 in which the supply of commercial power is stopped or the slave station facility that has notified that the supply of power by the commercial power supply has been stopped The slave station equipment belonging to the broadcast exclusion group including the slave station equipment group installed within a few km around 3-14 or the slave station equipment 3-14 that has notified that the supply of power from the commercial power supply has been stopped When there are multiple wireless transmission / reception devices in a group or system, wireless transmission / reception has received a wireless signal including a signal notifying that the supply of power from the commercial power supply has been stopped from a slave station facility where the supply of the commercial power supply has stopped The slave station equipment group controlled by the device is excluded.

  Note that after this control is performed, the control unit 3-9 of the console 3-6 is powered by the commercial power source recorded in the recording unit 3-8 at a specific time or every predetermined time as necessary. You may confirm the information of the substation equipment 3-14 in which supply of was stopped. When the supply of power from the commercial power supply to any one or more of the slave station facilities 3-14 is stopped, the control unit 3-9 of the console 3-6 is recorded in the recording unit 3-8. The substation equipment 3-14, which has stopped supplying power from the commercial power source, is searched for the automatic program notification program included in the broadcast target station, and the corresponding automatic program notification program is searched. It is installed within a few kilometers around the substation facility 3-14 that has notified the broadcast target station that only the substation facility 3-14 has stopped supplying commercial power or that the supply of power from the commercial power supply has stopped. There are a plurality of wireless transmission / reception devices in the slave station equipment group belonging to the broadcast exclusion group including the slave station equipment group or the broadcast station exclusion group including the slave station equipment 3-14 that has notified that the supply of power from the commercial power supply has stopped. Do In this case, a group of slave station facilities controlled by the wireless transmission / reception apparatus that has received a radio signal including a signal notifying that the supply of power from the commercial power supply has been stopped from a slave station facility whose supply of commercial power has been stopped is excluded. The same processing is repeated at a specific time or every fixed time until the supply of power from the commercial power source to the station equipment 3-14 is restored).

  In the second operation described above, when one or more slave station facilities notify the master station facility that the supply of electric power from the commercial power source has been stopped, the master station facility is the broadcast target station of the automatic program report program.

[Third Embodiment]
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a broadcast radio system 300 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. The broadcast radio system 300 automatically registers, duplicates, changes, deletes, and immediately broadcasts an automatic program report program in accordance with the surrounding environment of the sensor units 4-4 and 4-13 of the broadcasting equipment group.

  In the third embodiment, any one or more of the sensor unit 4-13 of the console 4-7 and the sensor unit 4-4 of the remote control station equipment 4-3 include a human sensor, an optical sensor, and a temperature. Various sensors such as a sensor, a wind pressure sensor, a sound sensor, a vibration sensor, a radiation sensor, a chemical substance sensor, an odor sensor, and a camera are connected. These sensors acquire ambient environment information of the console 4-7 and the remote control station equipment 4-3. Then, when it is determined that there is an emergency based on the acquired surrounding environment information, the console 4-7 automatically registers an automatic program report program for instructing evacuation at an arbitrary timing. It performs processing such as copying the notification program, changing or deleting the automatic program notification program that performs scheduled broadcasting of low importance, and immediately broadcasting the automatic program notification that instructs evacuation.

  In the third embodiment, for example, each of the sensor unit 4-13 of the console 4-7 and the sensor unit 4-4 of the remote control station equipment 4-3 indicates the number of people around and the movement of the people, Collected by human sensor, sound sensor, vibration sensor, camera, etc., according to the information, console 4-7 registers, copies, changes, deletes, and immediately broadcasts automatic program report program at any timing The movement is assumed. Also, if there are broadcasting facilities near active volcanoes, chemical factories, nuclear power plants, etc., it is possible to judge the surrounding environment of the broadcasting facilities as dangerous by collecting information on the surrounding environment with chemical sensors, odor sensors, radiation sensors, etc. Only if you register an automatic program notification program that instructs evacuation, deletes the most recently scheduled automatic program notification program that performs scheduled broadcasting with low importance, or immediately broadcasts an automatic program notification program that instructs evacuation The movement is assumed.

This makes it possible to automatically determine the urgency level of the broadcast in real time from the surrounding environment of the broadcasting facility and to make important information known to the residents preferentially.
[Fourth Embodiment]
Hereinafter, a fourth embodiment will be described. The configuration of the fourth embodiment is the same as that of the third embodiment (FIG. 4). Therefore, in the following, the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  A feature of the fourth embodiment is that when an abnormality occurs in communication between the remote control station equipment 4-3 and the console 4-7, or when a failure occurs in the remote control station equipment 4-3, the remote control station The automatic program report program registered from the facility 4-3 is automatically changed or deleted.

  In this case, the control unit 4-10 of the console 4-7 communicates between the console 4-7 and the broadcasting equipment connected to the console 4-7 via the I / F unit 4-12. It shall be regularly checked whether it can be performed normally. Hereinafter, this process is called life / death monitoring. As an example of a life and death monitoring implementation method, the console 4-7 periodically transmits a signal called a life and death monitoring signal to a broadcasting facility that confirms whether communication can be normally performed. When transmitting the life / death monitoring signal, the control unit 4-10 instructs the I / F unit 4-12 to transmit the life / death monitoring signal to the broadcasting facility (execution request for life / death monitoring). The content of the life / death monitoring signal is not limited, and any broadcast facility that has received the life / death monitoring signal can determine that the life / death response monitoring signal is transmitted to the console 4-7. Moreover, there is no restriction | limiting in the life-and-death monitoring response signal which broadcasting equipment transmits with respect to the console 4-7, and the console 4-7 which received the life-and-death monitoring response signal communicates with the broadcasting equipment which transmitted the life-and-death monitoring signal. Any signal can be used as long as it can be determined that it is normally performed. For example, when a plurality of broadcasting facilities are connected to the console 4-7 and the console 4-7 performs life / death monitoring for each broadcasting facility, the life / death transmitted from each broadcasting facility to the console 4-7. The monitoring response signal includes “information for identifying broadcasting equipment” (broadcasting equipment name, management number, IP (Internet Protocol) address, MAC (Media Access Control) address, model number, Product name, etc.). Hereinafter, “information that can identify a broadcasting facility” is referred to as “broadcasting facility ID (Identification)”. The ID of each broadcasting facility is recorded in the recording unit 4-9 of the console 4-7, and the console 4-7 is alive for a certain time or a certain number of times per unit time from a specific broadcasting facility. When the monitoring response signal cannot be received, the control unit 4-10 of the console 4-7 determines that communication with the broadcasting facility is not normally performed (life and death monitoring failure). On the other hand, when the console 4-7 has received a life / death monitoring response signal from a specific broadcasting facility for a certain time or a certain number of times per unit time, the control unit 4-10 of the console 4-7 broadcasts the broadcast. It is determined that the communication with the facility is normally performed (life and death monitoring success). Note that, depending on the system, an operation mode in which the broadcasting facility periodically transmits a life / death monitoring response signal to the console 4-7 regardless of the presence / absence of the life / death monitoring signal transmitted from the console 4-7 to the broadcasting facility is also conceivable. .

  However, in the fourth embodiment, the control unit 4-10 keeps monitoring the life / death monitoring response signal received by the I / F unit 4-12 from the broadcasting facility.

  Also, in a general broadcast radio system, broadcasting equipment has a function to respond when a life / death monitoring signal is received from another device (with a life / death monitoring function), and responds when a life / death monitoring signal is received from another device. There is something that has no function (no alive monitoring function).

  The control unit 4-10 periodically requests the I / F unit 4-12 to perform life / death monitoring on a broadcasting facility connected to the I / F unit 4-12 and having a life / death monitoring function. When the I / F unit 4-12 receives an execution request for life and death monitoring from the control unit 4-10, the I / F unit 4-12 performs life and death monitoring on the broadcasting facility connected to the I / F unit 4-12 and having a life and death monitoring function. carry out. When the life and death monitoring function-equipped broadcasting facility receives the life and death monitoring signal from the I / F unit 4-12, the life and death monitoring response signal including the ID of the broadcasting facility is transmitted to the I / F unit 4-12. When the control unit 4-10 detects that the I / F unit 4-12 has received a life / death monitoring response signal from a broadcasting facility with a life / death monitoring function, the control unit 4-10 is included in the life / death monitoring response signal. The transmission facility ID of the transmission source and the information “life and death monitoring success” are associated with each other and recorded in the recording unit 4-9. In addition, when the control unit 4-10 cannot detect that the I / F unit 4-12 has received a life / death monitoring response signal from a broadcasting facility having a life / death monitoring function for a certain time or a certain number of times per unit time, the control is performed. The unit 4-10 selects the ID of the broadcasting facility that cannot acquire the life / death monitoring response signal from the IDs of the respective broadcasting facilities recorded in the recording unit 4-9, and the broadcasting that cannot acquire the life / death monitoring response signal. The broadcasting facility having the facility ID is linked to the information “life monitoring failure” and recorded in the recording unit 4-9 as “broadcast facility that failed life monitoring”. At this point, the control unit 4-10 detects that a failure has occurred in a broadcasting facility with a life / death monitoring function having an ID of the broadcasting facility for which the console 4-7 cannot acquire a life / death monitoring response signal. Then, the control unit 4-10 changes or deletes the automatic program notification program registered from the broadcasting facility that has failed in life and death monitoring, which is recorded in the recording unit 4-9. As a result, when a communication error occurs in the broadcasting equipment and the master station equipment in the broadcast radio system, or when a failure occurs, it becomes impossible to change or delete the automatic program report program registered from each broadcasting equipment. In addition to preventing, it is possible to automatically delete programs that should not be broadcast and registered from each broadcasting facility.

  However, in the fourth embodiment, it is assumed that the control unit 4-10 and the I / F unit 4-12 continue to periodically transmit a life / death monitoring signal to a broadcasting facility that has failed life / death monitoring. When the control unit 4-10 detects that the I / F unit 4-12 has received the life / death monitoring response signal from the broadcasting facility that has failed in life / death monitoring, the control unit 4-10 detects that the life / life monitoring response has failed. Is recorded in the recording unit 4-9 for the broadcasting equipment that has transmitted the alive monitoring response signal to the I / F unit 4-12. The information of the broadcasting equipment that has failed in life and death monitoring is deleted.

At this time, for the automatic program report program registered from the broadcast facility in which the information on the broadcast facility that has failed in life and death monitoring is deleted from the recording unit 4-9, the process of changing or deleting the automatic program report program performed by the master station facility It is assumed that whether to return to the original or not can be set by the system parameter of the console.
[Fifth Embodiment]
The fifth embodiment will be described below. The configuration of the fifth embodiment is the same as that of the third embodiment (FIG. 4). Therefore, in the following, the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  The feature of the fifth embodiment is that when a specific broadcast is broadcast from the console 4-7, remote control station equipment 4-3, or other broadcast equipment, or a specific operation is performed from any of the broadcast equipment In this case, the automatic program notification program change, deletion, and immediate broadcasting are automatically executed. For example, when an emergency broadcast is performed twice or more from a broadcasting facility within a preset time, or when an emergency broadcast regarding an earthquake or tsunami is broadcast from the broadcasting facility, an automatic broadcast scheduled within a few hours after the emergency broadcasting Change the broadcast start time of the program report program, delete the automatic program report program, or automatically create an automatic program report program such as "Scheduled broadcast will be temporarily stopped because of an emergency" and immediately It is assumed that there is an operation of performing broadcast and deleting an automatic program report program scheduled to be broadcast within a few hours thereafter. In the fifth embodiment, unnecessary broadcasting can be prevented by changing the broadcast start time of the automatic program notification program or deleting the automatic program notification program in an emergency. In addition, by informing the residents that they will stop the scheduled program broadcasts in the event of an emergency, deleting the automatic program report program (withdrawing automatic program report broadcasts) Unnecessary broadcasts can be prevented.

In each of the first to fifth embodiments described above, the operation when performing automatic control of automatic program notification on the console 2-4, 3-6, 4-7 of the master station facility has been described. Accordingly, the function of performing the automatic control is changed to other equipment (remote control station equipment 2-1, 3-3, 4-3, wireless transceivers 2-3, 3-2, 3-5, 4-2, 4- (6, other equipment). In this case, the equipment that performs automatic control can be regarded as part of the master station equipment that performs broadcast control of the system.
