[Problems to be solved by the invention]

By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional multi-line response device,
Although there are multiple tape decks that send messages, there is a drawback that it is not possible to send multiple different messages at the same time because the type of message that is actually sent is one. In order to realize, multiple devices were required.

[Purpose of device]

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is easy to simultaneously send the same message to all accommodation lines or simultaneously transmit different messages for each accommodation line or for each group of accommodation lines. It is an object of the present invention to provide a multi-line response device having high cost performance.

[Outline of device]

The present invention is intended to achieve the above-mentioned object. The gist of the present invention is to provide a sending message designating unit capable of arbitrarily switching the sending message, and to switch the sending message designating unit field setting to accommodate the entire storage. The same message can be sent to the lines all at once, or different messages can be sent simultaneously for each accommodation line or each group of accommodation lines.

[Example of device]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1, the same reference numerals as those in the above-mentioned conventional example (FIG. 2) indicate the same parts, and the description thereof will be omitted.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the conventional example differs from the conventional example in that n tape decks 3a to 3n serving as a plurality of message sources are provided and n deck message designating switches 5a to 5n.
5n, one message designating switch 6 and n line message designating switches 7a to 7n are provided.

That is, the n tape decks 3a to 3n reproduce the message tapes set in each tape deck in advance, and can reproduce the maximum n kinds of message tapes.

The n deck message designation switches 5a-5n are
A switch provided in a one-to-one correspondence with each of the individual tape decks 3a to 3n.
It has n batch sending designation terminals a to n for designating the type of message tape set to 3n. For each of the n terminals, for example, the a terminal is a travel guide,
Predetermined messages are set for each terminal such as b terminal for shopping information and n terminal for weather information, and the terminal position according to the type of message tape set in each corresponding tape deck 3a to 3n. Are set respectively.

The sending message designating switch 6 is a switch for designating a message, and is provided with n batch sending designating terminals a to n corresponding to each message that can be sent and one batch sending designating release terminal x. ing. Each of the n batch designated terminals is preset such as travel guidance for the a terminal, shopping guidance for the b terminal, weather guidance for the n terminal, and the batch transmission from the line connection terminals 1a to 1n. The terminal position is set according to the type of message to be sent. Also, the batch sending designation release terminal x is
Cancel the batch sending of messages and connect each line connection terminal 1a to 1n
Is a terminal that is set when different messages are individually sent from each of the above.

The line message designating switches 7a to 7n are n switches provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the n line connecting terminals 1a to 1n, and the message designating switch 6 is set to the batch sending designation canceling terminal x. This is the switch used when N terminals a provided on each switch 7a to 7n
Each of ~ n is preset such as travel guidance for the a terminal, shopping guidance for the b terminal, weather guidance for the n terminal, etc., depending on the type of message to be sent from each line connection terminal 1a to 1n. The terminal positions are set to correspond to each other.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.

First, the setting of each switch will be described. Deck message designating switches 5a-5n correspond to the corresponding tape decks 3a.
To 3n are set to terminals a to n corresponding to the message types of the message tapes set to 3n. For example, when the travel guide message tape is set on the tape deck 3a, the corresponding switch 5a is set on the travel guide terminal a terminal, and when the shopping guide message tape is set on the tape deck 3b. Switch 5b
Is set to the b terminal as a shopping guide, and when the weather guidance message tape is set in the tape deck 3n, the corresponding switch 5n is set to the n terminal as a weather guide.

If the same message tape is set in each of the multiple tape decks 3a to 3n, switch
Each of 5a to 5n will be set to the same terminal position.

Next, depending on whether you want to send the same message collectively from each of the line connection terminals 1a to 1n, or whether you want to send different messages individually for each line connection terminal 1a to 1n, specify the message to be sent. The switch 6 is set to either the batch sending designation terminals a to n or the batch sending designation canceling terminal x. For example, when it is desired to collectively send the shopping guidance message from each of the line connection terminals 1a to 1n, the switch 6 is set to the terminal b corresponding to the shopping guidance. Further, when it is desired to send a message of a different type to each of the line connection terminals 1a to 1n, the batch sending designation canceling terminal x is set.

Further, when the sending message designating switch 6 is set to the batch sending designation canceling terminal x position, the line message designating switches 7a to 7n designate which message is sent from each of the line connecting terminals 1a to 1n. For example, if you want to send a travel guide message from the line connection terminal 1a, use the corresponding switch 7a to the travel guide a terminal, and if you want to send a shopping guide message from the line connection terminal 1b, use the corresponding switch 7b. Guide b
When it is desired to send a weather guidance message from the terminal or from the line connection terminal 1n, the corresponding switch 7n is set to the n terminal for weather guidance. With the above operation, the setting of each switch is completed.

Next, the operation will be described in different cases depending on whether the sending message designating switch 6 is set to the batch sending designating terminals a to n side or the batch sending designation canceling terminal x side. .

First, taking as an example the case where the sending message designation switch 6 is set to the terminal b as the shopping guide,
The operation will be described.

Now, when there is an incoming call at a certain line connection terminal, for example, the line connection terminal 1a, the incoming call detection circuit 2a detects this and sends it to the control circuit 4. Accordingly, the control circuit 4 first searches which terminal position the outgoing message designation switch 6 is set to. In this case, since the switch 6 is set to the terminal b for shopping guidance, the control circuit 4 knows that the message as the device is shopping guidance.

When the control circuit 4 detects that the message sent by the device is shopping guidance as described above,
Next, the setting states of the terminals of the deck message designation switches 5a to 5n are searched to find out which switch is set to the terminal of the shopping guide. In this case, since the switch 7b is set as the terminal for shopping information, the control circuit 4 knows that the message tape for shopping information is set in the tape deck 3b corresponding to the switch 5b.

Then, the control circuit 4 activates the tape deck 5b in which the message tape for shopping information is set, and starts reproducing the message tape for shopping information. And
This reproduction output is sent to all incoming call detection circuits 2a to 2n. The control circuit 4 controls the incoming circuit 1a to close the incoming line connection terminal 1a, and sends the shopping guide message reproduced on the tape deck 3b to the incoming line connection terminal 1a.

In this way, even if there is an incoming call to the other line connection terminal 1b or 1n, the same operation is performed, and the shopping guide message reproduced on the tape deck 3b is sent to the line connection terminal having the incoming call. Send out. Therefore, in this case, the shopping guide message is collectively sent to all the incoming lines.

Next, the operation when the transmission message designation switch 6 is set to the batch transmission designation canceling terminal x will be described.

Now, when there is an incoming call at a certain line connection terminal, for example, the line connection terminal 1a, the incoming call detection circuit 2a detects this and sends it to the control circuit 4. Accordingly, the control circuit 4 first searches which terminal position the outgoing message designation switch 6 is set to. In this case, since the switch 6 is set to the batch sending designation canceling terminal x, the control circuit 4 knows that the batch message sending is cancelled.

When the control circuit 4 detects that the switch 6 is set to the batch sending designation canceling terminal x, it searches which terminal position the line message designating switch 7a corresponding to the incoming line is set to. In the present example, the line message designating switch 7a is a travel guide a
Since it is set as a terminal, the control circuit 4 knows that the incoming line connection terminal 1a is a travel message sending line.

Next, the control circuit 4 searches the setting state of the terminals of the deck message designating switches 5a to 5n to detect which switch is set to the travel guidance terminal a. In the case of this example, since the switch set to the travel guidance position is 5a, the tape deck 3a corresponding to the switch 5a
Know that the travel information message tape is set on.

Then, the control circuit 4 activates the tape deck 5a on which the travel information message tape is set, and starts reproducing the travel information message tape. Then, this reproduction output is sent to all incoming circuits 2a to 2n. The control circuit 4 controls the incoming circuit 1a to close only the line connection terminal 1a having the incoming call, and sends the travel guide message reproduced on the tape deck 3a to the line connection terminal 1a.

In this way, even when there is an incoming call to the other line connection terminals 1b and 1n, the same operation as above is performed, the tape deck corresponding to each line connection terminal 1b and 1n is activated, and each line connection terminal Different messages are sent to.

In this case, if the line message designating switches 7a to 7n corresponding to the predetermined groups of the line connection terminals 1a to 1n are set to the same terminal positions, the same message is transmitted for each predetermined line group. You can also

In the above embodiment, OFF terminals are added to the deck message designating switches 5a to 5n, and when the message tape is not set in the corresponding tape deck, the corresponding switches 5a to 5n are set to the OFF terminals. Thus, it is possible to prevent the tape deck in which the message tape is not loaded from being activated.

[Effect of device]

As described above, in the case of the multi-line response device according to the present invention, the same message is collectively transmitted to all accommodation lines by simply changing the setting of the transmission message designating means, or for each accommodation line or accommodation. Different messages can be sent simultaneously for each group of lines.

In addition, the same message can be sent to all accommodation lines at the same time, or different messages can be simultaneously transmitted for each accommodation line or each group of accommodation lines. Therefore, one device can provide a plurality of multi-line response devices. You can expect the same effect as installing.

Further, since a plurality of messages can be selectively used and transmitted, it is possible to perform flexible operation as a device.
