Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a button telephone device capable of making an emergency call, and particularly to a configuration of a device that automatically calls a destination in an emergency by simply pressing an emergency call button.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, emergency calls have been made automatically in button telephone devices, and according to this type of button telephone device capable of making emergency calls, by pressing the emergency call button in the event of an emergency,
An outside line is automatically captured and a pre-registered dial number is sent. Therefore, a communication path is automatically established with the emergency call destination, making it possible to respond to theft, fire, gas leak, etc.

[Problems to be Solved] However, with the above-mentioned conventional button telephone device that can make emergency calls, even if an outside line is automatically captured and a call path is formed to a pre-registered emergency call destination, it is difficult to respond in an emergency situation. There was a problem in that the caller was unable to leave the area until the call had finished, and was unable to take any action to deal with the emergency situation.

Furthermore, in the event of an emergency, the caller is often not in a normal state, and there is a problem in that the caller is unable to accurately communicate the location of the emergency, such as his or her address or name.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems,
To obtain a button telephone device capable of making an emergency call, which can accurately report the occurrence of an emergency situation in a short time.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a button telephone device capable of making an emergency call according to the present invention has an emergency call button provided on a plurality of button telephones connected to a plurality of outside lines, A memory unit that stores the telephone number of the person to be notified, a voice recording unit that records voice messages in the event of an emergency, and a button that captures an outside line when the emergency call button on the telephone is pressed down to make an emergency call. This system has a system GG section that sends out the dial of the previous telephone number and automatically sends out the voice message registered in the voice registration section to the outside line.

[Operation] According to the above configuration, in the event of an emergency, when the emergency call button is pressed down, the telephone number of the emergency call destination stored in the storage unit is automatically dialed. Then, when the emergency call destination responds, an emergency voice message is automatically supplied to the communication path from the voice recording section.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a configuration block of a button telephone device capable of making an emergency call according to an embodiment, in which a button telephone l is provided with an emergency call button 2, and a button telephone interface 3 is provided on the button telephone l. , one-way central office line (outside M
) 4 is provided with a single station line interface 5. A switch matrix unit 6 and a voice recording unit 7 for recording the voice input from the button telephone l are connected between both interfaces 3 and 5. 4. Form a communication path between the voice recording units 7.

Further, a main control section 8 for controlling the entire apparatus, a program section 9 for storing a program for this main control section 8, and a memory section 11 for storing data necessary for the main control section 8 are provided. There is an emergency notification program department lO
, an emergency call memory section 12 is housed within the memory section 11 .

The embodiment is configured as described above, and its operation will be explained below.

First, in the button telephone 1, a voice message to be sent at the time of an emergency call is recorded in the voice recording section 7 from the transmitter in advance. Then, when the emergency call destination telephone number is set using the numeric keypad of the button telephone l, this telephone number information is sent to the main control unit 8 via the button telephone interface 3, and the telephone number information is transmitted by the main control unit 8. It is stored in the emergency call memory section 12 in the memory section 11.

Next, the operation at the time of emergency call will be explained with reference to FIG.

When an emergency situation occurs and the emergency call button 2 of the button telephone 1 is pressed in step 11, this information will be sent to the main controller 8 via the button telephone interface 3, and the main controller 8 will receive this information. starts emergency call processing.

In step 12, an empty office line is selected from among the installed office lines 4, the curve interface 5 is controlled to acquire the empty office line 4, and the process moves to the next step 13.

In step 13, the telephone number stored in the emergency call memory 2 is read out, the central office line interface 5 is controlled to send a call to the central office line 4, and in step 14, a response from the other party is detected.

In this step 14, the same process is repeated until the other party's response is detected, and when the other party's response is detected (YES), in the next step 15, the voice recording unit 7 and the central office line are connected by controlling the switch matrix unit 6. Form a communication path with 4.

Then, in step 16, the voice recording unit 7 is controlled to start playing the pre-recorded voice message.
An emergency message will be sent to the emergency call destination.

In step 17, a timer is started to detect the playback end time, and in the next step 18, the timer is monitored at regular intervals to determine whether or not the voice message has finished playing. When it is determined that the reproduction of the voice message has been completed after a predetermined period of time has elapsed (YES), step 19 controls the switch matrix unit 6 to record the voice recording unit 7 formed in step 15.
Initializes the communication path between the terminal and the central office line 4. Then, in the next step 20, the voice recording unit 7 is controlled to finish the voice message playback operation, and the process moves to step 21. In this step 21, the central office line interface 5 is controlled and the step 12 is performed. The captured station line 4 is initialized.

As described above, emergency control is performed by the main control unit 8. However, if there is no vacant office line 4 in step 12, the main control unit 8 performs emergency control by forcibly initializing the office line 4 that is in use. , the central office line 4 can be captured.

Further, if no response from the other party is detected for a certain period of time in step 14, it is also possible to initialize the captured station line 4 and restart the control from step 12.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, the voice of an emergency message is recorded in advance in the voice recording section, and an outside line is automatically captured by pressing the emergency call button of the button telephone. Then, when an emergency occurs, all you have to do is press the emergency call button, and the emergency contact will receive a short message about the emergency situation and its details. This has the effect of being able to convey information in a timely and accurate manner.
