Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a local call information transmission device, and more particularly to a local call information transmission device that allows the location of a called party to be confirmed.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, a calling party receives a specific handset calling signal from a calling device,
Alternatively, there are known private calling devices and pager devices that transmit text information and, when the person carrying the handset device receives the signal or information, respond via telephone.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Since the conventional private calling device described above transmits information in one way, the calling party cannot know the status of the called party. Therefore, if there is no telephone contact from the called party, either the called party is not in the premises and the calling information has not been transmitted, or there is no telephone near the called party and the telephone cannot be contacted. It is not possible to determine if the person is in a situation (such as a meeting) where they cannot contact you. In addition, the waiting state not only wastes time on the caller's side, but also prevents the caller from taking appropriate action because the information needed to determine whether a telephone call will follow or whether an FT call should be made is not available. There is a high risk that information transmission will become uncertain.

Therefore, it is necessary to solve this problem in order to convey the presence/absence information of the called party to the caller, to enable prompt and appropriate response, to eliminate uncertain waiting time, and to improve the reliability and efficiency of information transmission. A technical problem arises, and the present invention aims to solve this problem.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been proposed to achieve the above object, and includes a main device that converts call information transmitted from a telephone, a personal computer, etc. into radio waves, and a In a local calling device that has a radio wave receiving function and is composed of a plurality of handsets with individually set calling numbers, the main device and the handset are each provided with a transmitting/receiving section, and the handset has an identification function. A code storage means is provided, and a control means is further provided for detecting the calling information and transmitting the identification code.

A premises call information transmission device is provided with a voice synthesis means for converting breaking news into a voice signal and transmitting the synthesized voice to a call information source, and the handset is equipped with an emergency transmission switch, A premises call information transmission device characterized in that it is provided with a transmission control unit that transmits emergency information together with the identification code by operating a transmission switch, and the handset is equipped with a sensor for a specific signal such as infrared rays or radio waves, A premises call information transmission device, characterized in that a control means is provided for emitting an alarm sound when the specific signal is detected, and the transmission control section transmits emergency information and an identification code, and the handset is provided with a shock sensor. , due to the addition of an impact exceeding a predetermined value,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a local call information transmission device characterized in that the transmission control section is provided with a control means for transmitting emergency information and an identification code.

[Function] According to the invention described in claim (1), the main device and the handset of the local call information transmission device are each provided with a transmitting/receiving section. The handset is equipped with a storage means in which an identification code is written, and when a call signal is received, a control means provided in the CPU extracts the identification code from the storage means and automatically transmits it.

On the other hand, when the main device receives the identification code, a control means provided in the main device transmits the identification code to the calling party's telephone, personal computer, or the like. Thus, the calling party can confirm that the called party is on the premises and that the calling information has been communicated. Also, if you do not receive the above identification code,
This indicates that the called party is not within the reach of the paging information radio waves, and it can be determined that the called party is not within the premises.

In the invention described in claim (2), an installation position code is specified for each of the plurality of transmitting and receiving antennas connected to the main device. Since the main device is equipped with a control means that transmits the identification code and the antenna installation position code to the caller when receiving the identification code, the calling party can check whether the called party is present or not and the area where the called party is within the premises. can be identified.

According to the invention set forth in claim (3), the handset is provided with a memory section capable of storing a plurality of pieces of character information, and further includes character information transmission means that can select the character information and transmit it together with the identification code. Therefore, when an arbitrary message is selected from several types of pre-stored standard messages and a sending operation is performed, the message is transmitted to the main device along with an identification code, and the situation of the person carrying the handset can be instantly transmitted.

The invention described in claim (4) is provided with a voice synthesis means for converting communication codes such as identification codes and character information into voice signals, synthesizing voice from the voice signals, and transmitting the synthesized voice to the caller.・Ru. Therefore, the calling party must know the called party's name, affiliation,
Information such as location and messages can be obtained as voice information.

According to the invention described in claim (5), the slave unit is provided with a transmission control unit that controls switching between normal communication and emergency communication. The transmission control unit transmits emergency information and an identification code by operating an emergency transmission switch. Therefore, it is possible to receive emergency information in the form of text or synthesized voice and information such as name, affiliation, whereabouts, etc., using a telephone or personal computer at a management center or the like.

In the invention described in claim (6), a sensor for a specific signal such as infrared rays or radio waves is provided in the child unit, and the sensor and the transmission control section are moved. Further, the sensor is configured to emit an alarm sound from the handset main body when the specific signal is detected.

Therefore, when a handset holder enters a prohibited area that is guarded by intrusion monitoring signals such as infrared rays and specific radio waves, the sensor detects the signal and the handset itself emits an alarm sound to call for attention and to create an emergency. Information and identification codes are transmitted to make the personnel on the main equipment side aware of the situation.

According to the invention of claim (7), a shock sensor is provided in the child unit, and the shock sensor is connected to the transmission control section. When an impact of a predetermined value or more is applied to the impact sensor, the transmission control section is configured to automatically transmit emergency information and an identification code. Therefore, in the event of an emergency situation in which a large impact is applied to the person carrying the handset, the emergency information is transmitted without operating the emergency transmission switch, so that the emergency information is reliably transmitted.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. For convenience of explanation, conventionally known technical matters will also be explained at the same time.
