Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a talkie device that sequentially calls a large number of subscribers using an automatic dialing device and, when each subscriber answers, transmits a pre-prepared recorded message. .

In this type of talkie device, a number of cards are prepared, the telephone number of the subscriber is recorded on each card, and the card is readably loaded into an automatic dialing device to call the subscriber. When the user responds, a pre-prepared message is sent.

In this case, if the subscriber does not respond, the message will not be transmitted, so only in that case, the card is placed separately, and later, using the separate card, the subscriber who does not respond is called again, and the message is transmitted. I was trying to measure it.

This device has a major problem in that, due to incorrect card handling, the same message may be sent twice or thrice to the same subscriber, leading to a risk of complaints from the subscriber.

Furthermore, as a solution to this problem, the automatic dialing/announcement device records the type of non-response, and based on that record, a card or tape is created that is then sent to the automatic dialing/announcement device again. Devices that call only subscribers have been tried, but such methods require a lot of work to extract only non-responses from records of responses and non-responses, or to re-create cards and tapes. It has the drawbacks of being time consuming and requiring expensive equipment.

Therefore, the present invention is designed to eliminate the above-mentioned problems. When there is no response to a call by an automatic dialing/announcement device, the non-responsive subscriber is notified based on a non-response signal sent from the device. To provide a talkie device in which only telephone numbers related to calls are sequentially recorded in recording elements, and by later reading the recording elements, only non-responsive subscribers are automatically called again. It is something.

The drawings illustrating the embodiments of the present application will be described below.Mu 1 is a tape exemplified as a telephone number recording element, and is used to record the telephone numbers of a large number of subscribers in advance.

In addition to the perforated tape, well-known recording elements such as magnetic tape or cards may be used as the recording element.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a tape reader exemplified as a reading device for the recording element 1, which is a device that converts the contents recorded on the tape 1 into electrical signals.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a known automatic dialing/announcement device which automatically dials according to the input telephone number signal and automatically sends out a prerecorded message when the dialed party answers.

Reference numeral 4a indicates a central office line to which the automatic dialing/announcement device 4 is connected.

Next, reference numeral 5 denotes a tape punch device as an example of a recording device, which is provided to record signals sent from the control device 3 to the telephone number recording element 6.

As the telephone number recording element 6, the same type as the above-mentioned telephone number recording element 1 (for example, perforated tape) is used.

Next, the control device 3 will be explained in detail.

This control device includes a control device 7 that operates a tape reader 2 to read a telephone number signal from a tape 1 to operate an automatic dial/announcer 4, and a tape punch device 5 to record the signal on a tape 6. and a control device 9 for timing the operation of the automatic dialing/announcement device 4 and the control device 8.

First, in the control device 7, 10 is a tape reader control circuit, which is a switch circuit for driving the tape reader 2.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a first timing control circuit, which is generally composed of a counter, and is designed to control and operate each of the circuits described above and below in a timed manner.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a first signal conversion circuit which converts the output signal from the tape reader 2 into a signal suitable for the automatic dialing/announcement device 14.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a temporary storage circuit, which temporarily stores the telephone number signal (for one subscriber) inputted from the tape reader 2 via the signal conversion circuit 12 (at the end of all operations related to that subscriber). ) This is a circuit designed to memorize information.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a delimiter detection circuit which stops the operation of the first timing control circuit 11 when the delimiter read from the tape 1 by the tape reader 2 is input.

Next, in the control device 8, 15 indicates a signal conversion circuit,
When the signal from the temporary storage circuit 13 is recorded on the tape 6 by the tape punch device 5, the signal from the temporary storage circuit is converted into a form such that the signal recorded on the tape 6 can be read by the tape reader 2. It is something.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a tape punch control circuit, which is a switching circuit for driving and feeding the tape punch device 5, and the like.

Next, in the control device 9, reference numeral 17 denotes a timing control circuit, in which the termination signal from the automatic dialing/announcement device 4 and the delimiter signal inputted from the temporary storage circuit 13 via the delimiter detecting circuit 19 are detected. When all the signals are complete, a recovery pulse is sent to the recovery circuit 18.

The recovery circuit 16 is configured to send a recovery signal to the automatic dialing/announcement device 4 in response to a signal from the timing circuit 17.

The delimiter detection circuit 19 is similar to the delimiter detection circuit 14 described above.

In the above structure, first, the telephone numbers of a large number of subscribers are punched onto the tape 1 according to a certain rule.

In this case, the punching method is, for example, first punching a start code, then punching one subscriber's telephone number one digit at a time, then punching a delimiter code, and so on. It is sufficient to punch the subscriber's telephone number and delimiter code in sequence, and finally punch the end code.

In this case, if a material other than perforated tape is used as the telephone number recording element, it is a matter of course that a recording method suitable for each material be adopted.

Next, this tape 1 is placed on the tape reader 2, and a start signal is sent by a well-known start circuit (not shown), so that the apparatus becomes operational.

In this state, when the office line 4a connected to the automatic dialing/announcement device 4 becomes vacant and a completion signal is sent from the automatic dialing/announcement device 4, this signal is input to the first timing control circuit 11. Ru.

The first timing control circuit 11 starts operating in response to a completion signal and generates a pulse.

This pulse signal is controlled by the tape reader control circuit 10 to drive the tape reader 2, and the tape reader 2 starts reading the tape 1.

On the other hand, the pulse from the first timing control circuit 11 is also input to the temporary storage circuit 13 to put it into an operating state.

In this state, the telephone number signal read from the tape 1 by the tape reader 2 is converted into a signal by the conversion circuit 12, and is further temporarily stored in the temporary storage circuit 13.

During such reading, when the reading of one subscriber's record is completed and the delimiter code is read, it is input to the delimiter detecting circuit 14 and the operation of the first timing control circuit 11 is stopped.

When the storage of the telephone number signal for one subscriber is completed in this manner, an activation signal is sent from the first timing control circuit 11 to the automatic dialing/announcement device 4.

Then, the automatic dialing/announcement device 4 starts operating and performs automatic dialing according to the telephone number signal sent from the temporary storage circuit 13.

After a call signal is sent to the other party through such dialing, if the other party answers within a certain period of time, a prerecorded message is sent.

When the transmission of such a message is completed, the automatic dialing/announcer 4 transmits the message to the second timing control circuit 17.
A termination signal is sent to the

The second timing control circuit 17 receives this signal and generates a pulse to activate the temporary storage circuit 13 and read out the temporarily stored telephone number signal one digit at a time.

Then, when the delimiter code is read out and inputted to the second timing control circuit 17 via the delimiter code detection circuit 19, a recovery pulse is sent from the second timing control circuit 17 to the recovery circuit 18.

The recovery circuit 18 receives this pulse and sends a recovery signal to the automatic dialing/announcement device 4 to restore the automatic dialing/announcement device 4.

In this way, when the automatic dialing/announcement device 4 returns to the recovery state, the device 4 again outputs a completion signal to the first timing control circuit 11, and the same operation as now is performed for the next subscriber name. It will be done.

On the other hand, when a subscriber is dialed from the dial/announcer 4 via the central office line 4a and the subscriber does not respond within a certain period of time due to being busy or absent, the automatic dialing/announcer 4, a non-response signal is sent to the tape punch control circuit 16, and an end signal is sent to the second timing control circuit 17.

When the end signal is input to the second timing control circuit 17, the signals of the telephone number stored in the temporary storage circuit 13 are sequentially read out one digit at a time in the same manner as described above.

On the other hand, the tape punch control circuit 16 receives the non-response signal and starts the operation of the tape punch device 5.

Therefore, the telephone number signal read from the temporary storage circuit 13 is converted by the signal conversion circuit 15 and recorded on the tape 6 by the tape punch device 5.

When this recording is completed, that is, when the delimiter code is read out from the temporary storage circuit 13 and recorded on the tape 6, this delimiter code is also inputted to the delimiter code detection circuit 19, and the same operation as in the above case is performed. The automatic dial/announce device 4 enters the recovery state and then proceeds to call the next subscriber.

Such operations are carried out one after another, and only the telephone numbers of the subscribers who have not responded are recorded on the pay tape 6, after which the calling operations for all the subscribers recorded on the tape 1 are completed.

Therefore, if you want to call a subscriber who has not responded again after some time has elapsed, remove this tape 6 from the tape punch device 5 and insert it into the tape reader 2. By placing tape 1 instead of tape 1, it is possible to perform a re-calling operation only to non-responsive destinations.

As described above, in this invention, telephone numbers are sequentially read from the telephone number recording element 1 in which telephone numbers related to a plurality of subscribers are recorded, and a signal of this telephone number is directed to the automatic dialing/announcement device 4. a reading device 2 that sends out
Automatic dialing/announcement that sequentially calls a large number of subscribers based on the signals sent from the reading device 2, and when the other subscriber answers, sends a pre-prepared message to that subscriber. When transmitting the telephone number signal read by the reading device 2 to the automatic dialing/announcement device 4, each time the automatic dialing/announcement device 4 completes one cycle, the devices In the talkie device, the reading control device 7 includes a reading control device 7 that operates the reading device 2 in a state where the reading device 2 is sent to the reading device 2.
The talkie device is provided with a temporary memory circuit 13 for temporarily storing signals sent from the telephone number recording element 1 to the automatic dialing/announcement device 4; A recording device 5 records a telephone number in the number recording element 6, and the recording device 5 is activated each time based on a non-response signal issued from the automatic dialing/announcement device 4, and the reading control device 7 Since the configuration includes a recording control device 8 that causes the recording device 5 to sequentially record the telephone numbers stored in the temporary storage circuit 13 in the telephone number recording elements 6 of the same type in upper=a, the following It has various effects such as:

That is, a reading device 2 is provided that can sequentially read telephone numbers from an element 1 in which a plurality of telephone numbers are recorded, and an automatic dialing/announcement device 4 is activated based on the telephone number read by the device 2. The device 4 calls the other party and sends a message prepared in advance to the called party.
Even if you want to send the same message to a large number of subscribers one after another, simply by loading the element 1 in which the telephone numbers of a large number of subscribers are stored in advance into the reading device 2, you can send a message with the same content to a large number of subscribers. There is the convenience of being able to sequentially send messages prepared in advance to each person.

Moreover, even if a calling signal is sequentially sent to a large number of subscribers as described above, and a message is conveyed depending on the caller's response, in the present invention, the telephone number signal read by the reading device 2 is is temporarily stored until the called subscriber at the other end answers, and if there is no response from the called party, this is stored in the telephone number recording element 6 via the recording device 5.
When making a call again, the recorded telephone number recording element 6 is placed on the reading device 2 to call the other party, so when making a call again to a subscriber who has not responded. has the feature of being able to accurately dial only the subscriber who has not responded without calling other subscribers, thereby preventing the inconvenience of double dialing the subscriber who has already responded. There are also some features.

Moreover, in the present invention, since the record of subscribers who have not responded through the recording device 5 is made in the element 6 having the same format as the element 1 applied to the reader 2, Even when making a telephone call again to another location, the telephone number recording element 6 produced via the recording device 5 can be used to immediately begin the calling operation, making the re-calling operation easy even for women and girls. There are also ground-breaking effects that can be achieved.
