Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily input a character message to a paging system by calling the paging system form general subscribing telephone set connected to a public telephone network and sending a PB signal corresponding to a character code through the use of a PB signal transmitter in the middle of a call. CONSTITUTION:A PB signal transmitter 3 to input the combination of the PB signals corresponding to the character codes to a general subscribing telephone set 1 is used. When the message is inputted by sending the PB signal from the general subscribing telephone set 1 through the use of the PB signal transmit ter 3, one character is expressed by combining two signals among sixteen kinds of PB signals generated by the PB signal generator 3, simultaneously, a charac ter string is expressed by further combining the PB signals with two digits, further, the received PB signals are resolved into two-digit unit, the character code is converted and transmitted to a paper. Thus, the character message can be easily inputted to the paging system.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a text message input method using a paging system for transmitting text messages via a public telephone network.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in the paging text message input method in which text messages are input via the public telephone network, a dedicated data input terminal device is connected to a telephone line together with a MODEM equipped with an NCU, and the paging system is called from the telephone. After a response, the system switched to data communication mode and input the text message directly into the paging system in character code format.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, in the conventional paging character message input method described above, a dedicated data input terminal device and an NCU are required.
(jMODEM is connected to the public telephone network, the paging system is called from the telephone, and after the response, the system switches to data communication mode and inputs the text message directly into the paging system in character code format, so it is easy for general subscribers to MODEM with data input terminal device and NCU
In addition, the paging system also has N
Since it is necessary to install a MODEM with CU and a data input port, not only does the equipment cost increase,
There are limitations such as not being able to input messages from public telephones or other locations due to the lack of equipment.Furthermore, software is required to control the communication protocol with the data input terminal device, making system processing complex. be.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to enable text messages to be easily input into a general subscriber telephone set, and to enable text messages to be easily transmitted via a public telephone network.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The technical means of the present invention for solving such problems is to provide a paging character message using a paging system that receives paging calls from general subscriber telephones connected to the public telephone network. In the input method, a PB signal transmitter is used that inputs the PB double signal combination corresponding to the character code to the general subscriber telephone, and the paging system uses a PB signal transmitter that receives the PB double signal combination input from the general subscriber telephone. P received by the receiver and the PB signal receiver.
a conversion means for converting the combination of B-fold signals into a character code;
The apparatus also includes a transmitting means for transmitting the converted character code to the pager.

[Embodiment] Next, a paging character message input method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a paging character message input method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, a PB signal transmitter 3 is used which inputs a PB double signal combination corresponding to a character code into the general subscriber telephone set 1. Here, regarding the correspondence between character codes and PB double signals, for example, % 16 types of PB double signal hexadecimal data 0 to 9, treated as AA-F, ASCII
The two digits of the PB signal are associated with the characters of the I code or JIS code expressed in two hexadecimal digits. This results in
General subscriber telephone 1 with text message PB double signal combination
can be entered. For example, the English letter °A° is PB
The double signal 41, “Bo, becomes the PB double signal 42.

Further, the general subscriber telephone set 1 is connected to a public telephone network 2. A communication path control device 13 is provided within the paging system. This communication path control device 13 is connected to the public telephone network 2 via a trunk circuit 10.

Furthermore, 1 trunk for tone transmission! and communication path control device
A PB signal receiver 12 that receives the PB multiplied signal combination input via 1113 is connected to the channel control device 13. Further, the main controller 14 controls the entire system including a wireless device 15 for calling the pager. This main control device 14 has a function as a conversion means for converting the PB double signal combination received by the PB signal receiver 12 into a character code. And also, wireless device 1
Reference numeral 5 has a function as a transmitting means for transmitting the converted character code to the pager.

Therefore, according to the paging text message input method according to this embodiment, text messages are processed as follows. General subscriber telephone 1 connected to public telephone network 2
To input a paging character message, first dial the telephone number of the paging system from the general subscriber telephone set 1 and perform the normal connection operation. This call is input to the tone sending trunk 11 by the channel control device 13 and the main control device 14 via the trunk circuit IO in the paging system. As a result, the main controller 1
4, a service tone is sent to the general subscriber telephone set 1. After that, in the communication path control device 13, P
The connection is changed to the B signal receiver 12, and the state becomes ready for receiving the PB signal. Here, when a PB double signal combination corresponding to the character code is input from the general subscriber telephone 1 using the PB signal transmitter 3, these PB double signals are received by the PB signal receiver 12, and the received data is It is read by the control device 14. The main controller 14 converts the PB signal combination received by the PB signal receiver 12 into ASCII
It is converted into a code or JIS code characters and sent to the wireless device 15, and the pager is called via the wireless device 15 along with the character message.

That is, when a message is input by sending a PB double signal from the general subscriber telephone 1 using the PB signal transmitter 3, two of the 16 types of PB double signals generated by the PB signal transmitter 3 are combined. The two-digit PB multiplied signal represents a character string by further combining the two-digit PB multiplied signal, and the received PB multiplied signal 2
It decomposes it into digits, converts the character code, and sends it to the pager.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the paging character message input method of the present invention, the paging system is called from a general subscriber telephone connected to the public telephone network, and the PB double signal corresponding to the character code is input during a call. Since it is only necessary to send a message using a PB signal transmitter, it is possible to input a text message into the paging system very easily. Therefore, there is no need to install a dedicated data input terminal device and MODEM with NCU on the general subscriber side, and a MODEM with NCU and data input port are not required on the paging system side, so equipment costs are low, and the system In addition to simplifying the process, text messages can also be input from a public telephone or other location.
