Abstract

PURPOSE:To inform a person concerned with an alarm displaying panel in the station of a telephone exchange and to expand the freedom degree of an alarm expression by informing of information composed of a class, a device name and a type with a voice for the alarm generated by a telephone exchange. CONSTITUTION:An alarm generated by a telephone exchange 2 is scanned and collected by an alarm collecting circuit 1, the obtained data are sent to an alarm analyzing circuit 3, the data sent by the circuit 3 are classified in accordance with the class, device name and type of an alarm and sent to an alarm expression control circuit 4. A displaying panel control circuit 5, a printer control circuit 6 and a voice synthesizing circuit 7 are activated by the control circuit 4 and the information applicable to respective control circuits 5-7 is inputted. The sound signal of a digital sound piece memory 10 is read by the alarm information at the circuit 7, a voice corresponding to the alarm information is outputted to a speaker 13 and a telephone set line 12, displayed at an alarm displaying part 8 by the circuit 5 and printed at a printer 9 by the circuit 6.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to telephone exchanges, and more particularly to an alarm representation method.

(Prior art) Conventionally, the alarm expression method of this mass telephone exchange has been to output three types of alarm tones, such as critical, major, and yaina, as audible sounds using a bell or buzzer, depending on the alarm class. was. Furthermore, in the method of expressing alarms to the outside using telephone lines, alarm classes were expressed by, for example, differences in the length of intermittent dial tones.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the above-mentioned conventional alarm expression method for telephone exchanges, only the alarm class is expressed as an audible sound. However, there are disadvantages in that the alarm display panel must be viewed, and there are space restrictions or time delays in order to know the details of the alarm.

Furthermore, even if the occurrence of an alarm is known via a telephone line from outside, only the class of the alarm can be determined; in order to know the device and type of alarm, connect a modem or printer to the telephone line, and connect it to the printer. Since it is necessary to know the above information from the printed information, there are disadvantages in that there are many restrictions in terms of location and cost.

An object of the present invention is to electrically synthesize a voice language corresponding to information on the class, device name, or type of alarm, to notify the user by voice through a speaker, to connect the synthesized voice to a telephone line, and to communicate the generated alarm. Eliminate the above drawbacks by making detailed information available from outside over the phone.
An object of the present invention is to provide an alarm expression method for a telephone exchange configured with fewer restrictions.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The alarm expression system of the telephone exchange according to the present invention includes an alarm collection/analysis means, an alarm expression control means, an alarm display panel means, a printer means, and a voice synthesis/speaker output means. , a digital voice piece memory/telephone line sending means.

The alarm collection/analysis means is for collecting and analyzing alarms of the telephone exchange.

The alarm expression control means is for controlling the expression of nine analyzed alarms.

The alarm display panel means is for displaying all information including the class, device name, and type of the alarm obtained by the alarm expression control means.

The printer means is for printing out the information obtained by the alarm expression control means.

The voice synthesis/speaker output means is for voice synthesizing the information obtained by the alarm expression control means and expressing it as voice information.

Digital speech piece memory/Telephone line transmission means is voice synthesis/
This is for converting the audio information obtained by the speaker output means into digital sound pieces, storing them, and sequentially transmitting them to the telephone line.

(Example) Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of an alarm representation method for a telephone exchange according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 1 is an alarm collection circuit, 2 is a telephone exchange, 3 is an alarm analysis circuit, 4 is an alarm expression control circuit, 5 is a display panel control circuit, 6 is a printer control circuit, and 7
8 is a voice synthesis circuit, 8 is an alarm display panel, 9 is a printer, 10 is a digital sound piece memory, 11 is an audio amplifier, 12 is a telephone circuit, 13 is a speaker, and 14 is a telephone line.

The alarm collection circuit 1 scans and collects alarms generated in the telephone exchange 2 and sends the obtained data to the alarm analysis circuit 3. The alarm analysis circuit 3 classifies the sent data according to the alarm class, device name, and type, and sends the classified results to the alarm expression control circuit 4.
Send to. The alarm expression control circuit 4 activates the display panel control circuit 5, the printer control circuit 6, and the voice synthesis circuit 7, and sends alarm expression information suitable for each control circuit.

The display panel control circuit 5 drives the alarm display panel 8t based on the information received from the alarm expression control circuit 4 to display the alarm with a lamp.

The printer control circuit 6 prints out the information received from the alarm expression control circuit 4 onto the printer 9. The speech synthesis circuit 7 reads the digital speech signal from the digital speech piece memory 10 and performs digital/analog conversion in accordance with the information including the class, device name, and type of the alarm received from the alarm expression control circuit 4. to form analog audio and send it to audio amplifier 11 and telephone circuit 12.

Audio amplifier 11 drives speaker 13 and telephone exchange 2
It is transmitted as an audio signal within the station building. The telephone circuit 12 automatically makes a call to a predetermined telephone number using the telephone line 14 and notifies the person who answered the call of the class, device name, and type of the alarm by voice.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention provides audible notification of information including the class, device name, and type of the alarm event generated by the telephone exchange to concerned parties within the central office building of the telephone exchange. This has the advantage that information consisting of the class, device name, and type of alarm can be notified without looking at the alarm display panel.

Furthermore, there is the advantage that information including the class, device name, and type of alarm can be notified by voice over the telephone line to related parties outside the station building.
