Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a usual call processing from being affected by allowing a time alarm report device singly connecting to a peripheral controller to process the processing a time alarm function at a designated time. CONSTITUTION:When a subscriber 5 dials a station number designating a time alarm report service, a central controller 7 recognizes it and sends an order and a station data of the subscriber 5 to a time alarm report device 1 via a network 6 and a peripheral controller 2. The order is sent to a time alarm control circuit 10, which records the station data of the subscriber 5 to a memory 11. When the time stored in the memory 11 comes, the time alarm control circuit 10 connects a relevant subscriber line 3 to a ringer 4, which rings and the time alarm control circuit 10 connects a path to an announcement circuit 13 in the peripheral controller 2 when the reply of the subscriber 5 is detected thereby sending the announcement information corresponding to the kind of the designated service. Thus, a fault is not given to the usual processing.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a time alarm reporting device for an exchange.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a time alarm reporting service in which a subscriber is called at a specified time in an exchange has had a central controller perform all processing related to the service using software.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional time alarm reporting service described above is performed by software in the central control unit, so if this type of processing is concentrated at a certain time, the load will be placed on the central control unit and the central control unit will not be able to perform its original work. It has the disadvantage of interfering with normal processing, typified by certain general call processing.

[Means to solve the problem]

The time alarm reporting device of the present invention includes an announcement means that is connected to a peripheral control device that accommodates subscribers of an exchange, and outputs preset announcement information, and a timer that measures the current time. a storage means for storing time alarm report designated time information from the subscriber received via the peripheral control device and corresponding subscriber station data; and a storage means for monitoring current time information from the timekeeping means and storing it in the storage means. When a match with the stored time alarm reporting time information is detected, the peripheral control device is controlled based on the corresponding subscriber station data stored in the storage means, and the notification from the announcement means is sent to the subscriber. and a control means for transmitting announcement information.

Further, a plurality of types of announcement information are set in advance in the announcement means, and the storage means stores announcement type designation information at the same time when storing the time alarm report designation time information from the subscriber, and the control means It is also possible to select the announcement information corresponding to the announcement means based on the announcement type designation information stored in the storage means and control the transmission to the subscriber.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention. A peripheral control device 2 is housed in a network 6 that is controlled by a central control device 7 . Further, the time alarm reporting device 1 and the winding #! are added to this peripheral control device 2. The subscriber 5 is connected via the subscriber 3.

The time alarm reporting device l includes an announcement circuit 13 that outputs announcement information corresponding to a plurality of preset time alarm services, a timer 12 that measures the current time, and time alarm report designated time information from a subscriber. and a memory 11 for storing time alarm service type designation information and corresponding subscriber station data, and a time alarm control circuit 10 for controlling each of the circuits and peripheral control device 2 described above.

Next, the operation will be explained.

First, until the subscriber 5 makes a call and the central control unit 7 recognizes the call, the process is carried out according to the conventional telephone exchange procedure.
When the person dials the station number specifying the time alarm reporting service, the central control device 7 recognizes this and issues an order to the time alarm reporting device ■ for future processing via the network 6 and the peripheral control device 2. The station data of the subscriber 5 is sent out. The order is transmitted to the time alarm control circuit 10, and the time alarm control circuit 10 records the station data of the subscriber 5 in the memory 11. Next, the time alarm control circuit 1o instructs the peripheral control device 2 to connect the bus between the subscriber 5 and the announcement circuit 13 and make an announcement to the subscriber 5 that the time alarm reporting service will be accepted. The content of the announcement is
For example, the content may be "This is a time alarm service. Please specify the service type and reporting time using numbers after the "#"button." When the subscriber 5 inputs the "#" button signal, the peripheral device 2 reconnects the bus to the time alarm system m circuit 10.9 Next, the subscriber 5 inputs the type of service and reporting time. Upon button entry, the time alarm control circuit 10 receives the numbers and records them in pairs with previously recorded subscriber station data. The above is the operation when requesting a service.

Further, the time alarm control circuit 1o constantly monitors the current time transmitted from the timer 12.

When the time recorded in the memory 11 arrives, the time alarm control circuit 10 performs a calling process for the client subscriber 5 via the peripheral control device 2. First, the corresponding subscriber circuit 3 is connected to the ringer 4. When a response from the subscriber 5 is detected, the time alarm control circuit 10 connects to the announcement circuit 13 in the peripheral control device 2 and generates a ringing signal.
, and send out the announcement information corresponding to the specified service type. For example, in the case of a wake-up alarm service, the content of the announcement is "Good morning...".

After the subscriber 5 is disconnected, the memory 11 for that subscriber 5 is
The information in the file is deleted and the series of processing ends.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention enables the time alarm reporting device connected to the peripheral control device to independently process the processing related to the 81 functions of the time alarm at the specified time, thereby transmitting information to the central control device at the specified time. This process does not impose any load on the system and has the effect of not affecting normal call processing.
