Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To send a voice signal and data multiplexingly and to inform the arrival of a voice signal to an externally mounted telephone set by outputting a call signal to a telephone terminal, when the digital voice signal is received from a line terminal. SOLUTION: A modulation-demodulation section 1 demodulates a carrier signal sent via a public line and received from a line terminal (b) and provides an output of the demodulated signal to a multiplexer section 2. The multiplexer section 2 outputs the data received from the modulation-demodulation section 1 to a data input output terminal (a) and provides an output of a digital voice signal to a voice signal conversion (CODEC) section 3. At the some time, the multiplexer section 2 provides an output of a control signal denoting it that the digital voice signal is received from a public line to a ring supply section 6. As a result, the digital voice signal is converted into an analog voice signal by the CODEC section 3. Furthermore, the ring supply section 6 provides an output of a ring tone to a telephone terminal (c), for allowing a telephone set to send a call tone.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a data transmission device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the present embodiment. In this figure, a is a data input / output terminal for inputting / outputting data, b is a line terminal connected to a public line, and c is a telephone terminal to which a telephone is connected. Reference numeral 1 denotes a modulation / demodulation unit, 2 denotes a multiplexing unit, 3 denotes a CODEC unit (audio signal conversion unit), 4 denotes a current detection unit, 5 denotes a DC supply unit, and 6 denotes a ring supply unit. Of these, the current detection unit 4,
The DC supply unit 5 and the ring supply unit 6 constitute a ringing sound supply unit.

The modulation / demodulation unit 1 demodulates a carrier signal transmitted via a public line and input from a line terminal b and outputs the demodulated carrier signal to a multiplexing unit 2 and modulates a signal input from the multiplexing unit 2 to a line. Output to terminal b. CODEC part 3
The audio signal from the telephone input to the telephone terminal c is sampled at a predetermined period, converted into a digital audio signal and output to the multiplexing unit 2, and the digital audio signal input from the multiplexing unit 2 is converted into an audio signal. And output to the telephone terminal c.

The multiplexing unit 2 multiplexes the data input to the data terminal a with the digital audio signal and outputs the multiplexed data to the modem 1, and also converts the data of the signal input from the modem 1 to the data terminal a. The audio signal is separated and output to the CODEC unit 3. In some cases, the digital signal is not included in the carrier signal input from the line terminal b. When the multiplexing unit 2 detects that the signal input from the modem unit 1 includes the digital audio signal, , And outputs a control signal indicating the input of the digital audio signal to the ring supply unit 6.

When a digital voice signal is input to the multiplexing unit 2, the ring supply unit 6 outputs a ring signal indicating a ringing tone to the telephone terminal c. The DC supply unit 4 supplies DC current to the telephone terminal c (that is, the telephone) via the ring supply unit 6, and starts supplying DC current to the telephone when the telephone is off-hook. The current detection unit 4 detects the DC current, and when the telephone is off-hook and the DC current is supplied to the telephone, an instruction signal for instructing the telephone to stop outputting the ring signal to the telephone is sent to the ring supply unit 6. Output.

Next, the operation of the data transmission device having the above configuration will be described. When receiving a carrier signal from the public line, if the carrier signal input from the public line does not include a digital voice signal, that is, the data transmission device connected to the other end of the public line does not request communication by voice. In this case, the multiplexing unit 2 extracts only data from the signal input from the modem unit 1 and outputs the data to the data input / output terminal a.

On the other hand, when voice communication is requested from the other data transmission device connected to the other end of the public line, the carrier signal includes data and a digital voice signal. Outputs data from the signal input from the modem unit 1 to the data input / output terminal a, and outputs a digital audio signal to the CODEC unit 3. At the same time, the multiplexing unit 2 outputs to the ring supply unit 6 a control signal indicating that the digital audio signal has been input from the public line.

As a result, the digital audio signal is CODE
The signal is converted into an analog audio signal in the C section 3. When the ring supply unit 6 confirms that the instruction signal has not been input from the current detection unit 4, that is, that the telephone is in an on-hook state, the ring supply unit 6 outputs a ring signal to the telephone terminal c to ring the telephone. Is pronounced. When the telephone is off-hook in response to the ringing tone, a DC current is supplied from the DC supply unit 4 to the telephone via the ring supply unit 6 and the telephone terminal c.

As described above, when the supply of the DC current to the telephone is started, the current detection unit 4 detects this, and sends an instruction signal to the ring supply unit 6 to instruct the ring supply unit 6 to stop outputting the ring signal to the telephone. Outputs and stops the ringing sound. Then, an audio signal is output from the CODEC unit 3 and input to the telephone via the ring supply unit 6. In this state, even if a control signal is input again from the multiplexing unit 2, the ring supply unit 6 does not respond to this.

When the transmission of all voice signals to the telephone is completed and the telephone is again on-hook, the ring supply unit 6 does not receive the instruction signal from the current detection unit 4 and receives the next carrier signal. , A ring signal can be output to the telephone terminal c.

On the other hand, when a carrier signal is transmitted from the data transmission apparatus to the public line, a voice signal from the telephone is transmitted through the telephone terminal c and the ring supply unit 6 to the CODEC.
The signal is input to the unit 3 and converted into a digital audio signal. The digital audio signal is input to the multiplexing unit 2 and multiplexed with the data input to the data input / output terminal a, and is output to the modem unit 1. Then, the signal is modulated by the modulation / demodulation unit 1 and output from the line terminal b to the public line as a carrier signal.
