Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To evade an artificial mistake as much as possible and to surely execute a report to a intended report destination by setting a telephone number which is stored by means of responding to a first incoming call as a report destination telephone number when the second incoming call is judged. SOLUTION: An incoming call cycle, etc., detected by an incoming call detecting part 11 is transmitted to a control part 13. Then, the control part 13 judges the first incoming call or the second one by the received incoming call cycle, etc. When the first incoming call is received, first response is executed and the telephone number by a call ID 20 is received so as to be stored in a storage part 21. When the second incoming call is received after that, second response is executed and a command from an originating side (DTMF signal, etc.), is received by a command receiving part 15 so as to be transmitted to the control part 13. The control part 13 identifies the command which is transmitted from a command receiving part 15 and the stored telephone number is set in a report destination telephone number storage part 16. A processing is the same in the case of addition or change, etc.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a notification device using a call ID, and more particularly to a device for automatically dialing a telephone number of a set notification destination in response to an abnormal signal of a connected sensor or the like. The present invention relates to a notification device using a call ID.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of a conventional notification device. In FIG. 2, an incoming call detecting unit 11 is connected to the telephone line 10. When the incoming call detecting unit 11 detects an incoming call, the switch 12 is closed to connect the line to the apparatus. The control unit 13 is configured to receive signals from the incoming call detection unit 11, the keyboard 14, and the command reception unit 15 and output the signals to the report destination telephone number storage unit 16.

The report destination telephone number of such a conventional report device is set in the report device in the following manner, and the same applies to a case where the report destination telephone number is changed or added. (1) The telephone number is input using the keyboard 14 of the notification device, and is stored and set in the notification destination telephone number storage unit 16. (2) A telephone number is input using a keyboard or the like on a setting device, a center device, or the like, and is transmitted to a notification device.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional method of setting a destination telephone number by the above-mentioned notification device with reference to FIG. 2, a human being always intervenes to input the destination telephone number using a keyboard or the like. There is a need to. Therefore, it is inevitable that the report destination telephone number is erroneously input (erroneously input).

When this reporting device is operated with an incorrect reporting destination telephone number, the reporting device automatically dials the wrong reporting destination telephone number upon receiving an abnormal signal from a sensor or the like. Therefore, there is a high possibility that this notification device does not use at all and causes trouble to others. In other words, even if an abnormal signal is received, it is not reported to the intended report destination.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a high-reliability reporting device that can avoid such human error as much as possible and reliably report a report to an intended report destination.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a reporting device using a call ID according to the present invention detects an incoming signal from a call ID line and, based on the detected signal, receives a primary incoming call or a secondary incoming call. When the primary incoming call is determined, the primary incoming call is answered and the telephone number based on the call ID from the call ID line is stored. When the secondary incoming call is determined after the primary incoming call, The stored phone number is set as the report destination phone number.

Here, the primary incoming call or the secondary response is determined based on the incoming call cycle. In addition, the setting of the stored telephone number as the report destination telephone number is as follows.
This is performed based on the received command after the secondary incoming call response determination.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a preferred embodiment of a notification apparatus using a call ID according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a preferred embodiment of a notification device using a call ID according to the present invention. still,
Components corresponding to those in the conventional circuit of FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

An incoming call detecting section 11 is connected to the call ID line 20 to detect an incoming call. When an incoming call is detected by the incoming call detection unit 11, the switch 12 is closed and the line is connected to the apparatus. The control unit 13 includes a storage unit 21 to which a reception signal via the switch 12 is input, a command reception unit 1
5 is connected, and the report destination telephone number storage unit 16 is connected.

The incoming call detecting section 11 is composed of, for example, a photocoupler and monitors an incoming signal. The incoming cycle and the like detected by the incoming detection unit 11 are transmitted to the control unit 13. Therefore, the control unit 13 determines the primary incoming call or the secondary incoming call based on the received incoming call cycle or the like. When the primary call arrives, the primary response is made, and the telephone number by the call ID 20 is received and stored in the storage unit 21.

Next, when a secondary incoming call comes later, a command (DTMF signal or the like) from the transmitting side is received by the command receiving unit 15 in a secondary response, and is sent to the control unit 13. The control unit 13 identifies the command sent from the command receiving unit 15 and sets the stored telephone number in the destination telephone number storage unit 16. The same applies to the case of addition or change.

The operation of the above-described notification device of the present invention is summarized as follows. (1) Make a call from the report destination to the report device. (2) The notification device stores the notification destination telephone number by the primary response. (3) The notification device makes a secondary response. (4) In response to a command (DTMF signal or the like) from the report destination, the report device newly adds the telephone number stored in (2) as a report destination or overwrites (changes) the already set report destination telephone number. .

The preferred embodiment of the notification device using the call ID according to the present invention has been described above with reference to FIG. However, the present invention should not be limited to such specific embodiments, and various modifications and alterations can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
Of course, changes are possible.

[0015]

As described above, in the reporting device using the call ID according to the present invention, since the report destination telephone number is set using the call ID, the report is made by the reporting device, the setting device and the center device. There is no need to set the destination telephone number. Therefore, an erroneous input of the report destination telephone number can be eliminated, and a practically remarkable effect of eliminating a mistake of the report destination can be obtained.
