Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve information transmitting efficiency by transmitting a voice signal converted from a voice code signal to a network element having a commanded address number and outputting the signal from the element as voice information. CONSTITUTION:An information processor 2 has a function outputting the result of processing or message in the form of the voice code. Voice adaptors 3, 8 have a function converting the voice code into the voice signal and an automatic address transmitting function transmitting voice information to an optional commanded address terminal. The processor 2 transmits information in the form of the voice code to a terminal device 7 having the voice converting function for outputting voice. The address number and the voice code information are transmitted once to the adaptor 8 in case of a terminal device 6-1 not having the voice converting function, and they are converted into the voice signal and the signal is transferred to the device 6-1 with the automatic addressing function. Thus, uniform voice output service is attained, the information transmitting efficiency is improved and each terminal device is constituted inexpensively.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention provides an information processing network system in which an audio adapter device is disposed within the network, and network elements of two communicating parties have a function of converting an audio code signal into an audio signal. The present invention relates to an audio information transmission method that outputs information into a network as an audio code signal, regardless of whether the information is transmitted or not, so that the audio can be output from the network element of the other party.

[Technology background]

Recently, terminals with simple input/output functions, such as telephone terminals, and terminal systems that use telephone lines, such as facsimile terminals, have become increasingly popular.

In addition, the back door 1 response device is becoming an important information output means.

However, as for the voice l'#fl+ output method, the dictionary memory that stores the voice parameters is currently quite expensive, so it may not be cost-effective to incorporate it into a simple, inexpensive terminal.

This is because there are many networks already in operation that use terminals that do not have voice conversion functions.

Generally, it is difficult to use a method in which information is transmitted in the form of an audio code and synthesized into an audio signal on the terminal side. Therefore, except between specific devices, it is difficult to directly output audio signals from the network elements of information supply sources, resulting in a problem that information transmission efficiency decreases and communication costs also increase.

[Object and structure of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to realize means that can provide an output service based on voice (RF) information even when network components do not have a voice conversion function.

Accordingly, the (1q) configuration of the present invention includes a voice control device having a voice processing function and an automatic destination calling function for converting a voice code signal into a corresponding voice signal, and a voice control device that does not have the voice processing function but has a voice output function. including at least a terminal device as a network element.

When outputting audio from one element in the network to a terminal device that does not have the audio processing function but does have an audio output function, the destination number of the terminal device and the output information are sent to the audio control device. the voice code signal corresponding to the voice information to be transmitted, converts the voice code signal into a voice signal in the voice control device, and transfers the converted voice signal to the network element of the designated destination number to It is characterized by outputting audio information from elements.

[Embodiments of the invention]

FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a system according to a ninth embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure 1-1. ..., 1-M, 6-1. ....

6-N each have an audio output function, but the terminal device does not have an audio conversion function, and 2 is an information processing device.

3.8 is an audio adapter device, 4.5 is an exchange, and 7 is a terminal device having an audio conversion function.

The information processing device 2 has a function of outputting processing results or messages in a voice code format, and the voice adapter devices 3 and 8 have a function of converting voice codes into voice signals and outputting them to any specified destination terminal. It has an automatic destination calling function that sends out voice 114 messages.

The information processing device 2 transmits information in the form of a voice code to a terminal device 7 having a voice conversion function.

A terminal device that outputs audio but does not have an audio conversion function,
For example, for 6-1, first connect the audio adapter device 8.
The destination number and voice code 111 information are sent to , where they are converted into voice signals, and the converted voice signals are transferred to the destination terminal device 6-1 by its automatic destination transmission function.

Is Figure 22 an audio adapter device? The configuration of one embodiment of (b) will be shown below. In the figure, 9 is a line handling section, 10 is a message processing section, 11 is a buffer, 12 is a voice code 111 reporting section, 1
Reference numeral 3 indicates a voice dictionary, and reference numeral 14 indicates an automatic destination call control unit.

The message processing unit 10 extracts the destination number and voice code information from the received message information and stores it in the buffer 10.
1 and then controls each part to execute voice conversion and create an output message to be transferred.

The voice conversion processing unit 12 converts the input voice code 11 information stored in the buffer 11 into a corresponding voice parameter string using a voice dictionary, and synthesizes a voice signal based on the string. Note that it is also possible to receive message information in the form of voice parameters, synthesize this into a voice signal, and output the signal.

The automatic destination call control unit 14 has an automatic dialing function,
A line is established with the other party's terminal device according to the destination number stored in the buffer 11, and the message information in the voice signal format converted by the voice conversion processing section 12 is sent out.

The information processing device 2 outputs voice code information.

For example, by preparing a destination number table as shown in Figure 3, it can be used for the destination number of a network element such as terminal device N, a flag indicating the presence or absence of an audio conversion function, and a terminal device that does not have an audio conversion function. When retaining the destination number of the voice adapter device and outputting message information to a network element such as a terminal device, if it is identified from the flag value that the network element does not have a voice conversion function, automatic Alternatively, the route to be transferred via the audio adapter device can be selected. Furthermore, the audio adapter device can also have a same-text return function.

Note that it is advantageous in terms of transmission costs to divide the region into blocks and place the audio adapter device in each block. Furthermore, the audio adapter device.

It can be placed in a specific processing device, or it can be provided as one of the functions of a switch. No need to be conscious of whether or not to use it.

-+i, audio output service can be provided, thereby improving information transmission efficiency and making it possible to configure each terminal device at low cost.
