Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically present message information to match to a time band by storing the plural message information, which are needed with being distinguished in each time band of one day, and the time band, for which the reproducing of these message information is needed, in an announcement device. CONSTITUTION:A message selecting circuit 3 analyzes delivered timer information and selects a message to be reproduced at a present time and a selecting signal is sent to one of message accumulating parts 11-14. According to the timer information which are periodically sent from a central control device 30, an announcement device 10 always recognizes the message to be reproduced in the present time point. When a message reproducing activating instruction is sent from the central control device 30 in such a condition, the instruction is analyzed by a control interface circuit 5 and the reproducing of the message is indicated to a message reproducing circuit 2. Thus, the message information to match to the time band are automatically presented to a subscriber.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an announcement device used in a time-sharing electronic exchange.

[Conventional technology]

The time division electronic exchange periodically sends out clock information to the subscriber circuit in order to provide a service of displaying the time on the display telephones and the like accommodated therein. Conventionally, this type of announcement device did not have the function of receiving clock information sent from a time division electronic exchange because there was no need to use clock information for controlling the announcement device.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional announcement device described above does not have a means for receiving clock information from the time-sharing electronic exchange that accommodates the present announcement device, and also has multiple pieces of message information and can select and reproduce any one message. Unless the message information in the announcement device is changed, the same information can only be reproduced and transmitted at all times. If you try to differentiate between daytime and nighttime announcements and provide detailed services,
There is the inconvenience of having to replace the message information in the announcement device every necessary time.

[Means for Solving the Problems] An announcement device of the present invention includes a plurality of message storage sections holding message information to be notified to telephone subscribers accommodated in a time-sharing electronic exchange, and the time-sharing electronic exchange. a control interface circuit that receives clock information and a message playback start command from a central control unit of the computer; and a message selection circuit that analyzes the clock information and selects a message storage section that holds message information to be played at the current time. and a message reproducing circuit that retrieves and reproduces message information from the message storage section selected by the message selecting circuit when a message (1 raw activation command is received); and a communication path interface circuit for sending data to the time-sharing electronic exchange.

[Effect]

Therefore, if the announcement device stores multiple pieces of message information that are required for each time of the day and the time that the message information needs to be played, the message information that matches the time can be stored in the announcement device. can be automatically provided to subscribers of time-sharing electronic exchanges.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the announcement device of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a relay system diagram of a time division electronic exchange that accommodates the announcement device 10 shown in FIG.

The announcement device 1O is connected to other subscriber circuits 20, ,
20. Similarly, the switch network 40 of the time-sharing electronic exchange
It has a communication path interface circuit 4 between it and a central control unit 30 which controls the time division electronic exchange. The annunciation device IO of this embodiment has four message storage units 1, . It has 12, 13, and 14. The control interface circuit 5 analyzes commands from the central control device 30 and controls each circuit within the announcement device.
It also receives clock information sent from the central control device 30. The clock information received by the control interface circuit 5 is passed to the message selection circuit 3. The message selection circuit 3 analyzes the passed clock information, selects a message to be reproduced at the current time, and sends a selection signal to one of the message storage units II to 14. According to the clock information periodically sent from the central control device 30, the continuous announcement device IO recognizes the message to be played at the present time. Under this condition, the central controller 3
When a message playback start command is sent from 0, it is analyzed by the control interface circuit 5, and then the message playback circuit 2 is instructed to play the message. The message reproducing circuit 2 which received the instruction to reproduce the message reproduces the four messages 15M sections II to 1. The announcement message is read out from only the message section 15M currently selected by the message selection circuit 3 and reproduced. The communication path interface circuit 4 sends the announcement message sent from the message reproduction circuit 2 to the switch circuit network 40 at a timing specific to the boat in which the announcement device 10 is accommodated in the switch circuit network 40. .

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention has a plurality of pieces of message information that are intended to be listened to by telephone subscribers accommodated in a time-sharing electronic exchange, and a central control unit that controls the time-sharing electronic exchange. By selecting predetermined message information for reproduction from multiple pieces of message information held according to the clock information and reproducing it, multiple pieces of message information that are required for each time slot within the day and this message information can be generated. If the time period during which the message must be played is stored in advance in the announcement device, message information suitable for the time period can be automatically provided to the telephone subscribers of the time-sharing electronic exchange.
