Abstract

PURPOSE:To alterate and correct a system at mid night without a maintainer by reading correction data, etc., at the time specified by a command and by re-activating automatically the system. CONSTITUTION:Such a command is inputted that sets a medium 19 storing correction data and reads said data on a storage memory 5 from the storing medium 19 at the specified time by utilizing a console device 20. The command is discriminated by a reception deciding part 18, transferred to a memory part 17 and transmitted to a clock detection circuit 24, which transmits the specified time to a system control means 4 when it attains to the specified time. Said means 4 reads the data stored in the storing medium 19 in the storage memory 5.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Application The present invention stores processing program service setting data, etc. in a storage memory, storage medium, etc. in advance, and performs an exchange operation based on the stored programs, data, etc. Relating to an automatic switchboard configured to perform.

Conventional configuration and its problems In general, in an automatic switching system, if a problem is discovered in the system-driving processing program, service setting data, etc. during operation, correction data is stored in a separate storage medium for the purpose of changing the problem. must be read and written into storage memory. However, in this case, if the extensions are talking to each other, the call on that extension phone will be disconnected. Therefore, in such a case, the above reading and writing operations must be performed in the middle of the night when few calls occur. This was extremely inconvenient for maintenance workers, who were always forced to work night shifts.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks.The present invention is intended to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks.By using a console device to command the time for reading and writing to a storage medium in advance, the time for reading and writing to a storage memory is automatically set at a predetermined time. The purpose of this is to configure the system so that the above-mentioned reading and writing are started and the system is restarted.

Structure of the Invention The present invention comprises a command receiving means for receiving a command inputted from a console device belonging to the category A, a command determining means for determining the received command, and a command designated by the determined command. detect the time when
The system is configured to include a system control means that automatically reads and writes the processing program and correction data to the storage medium and memory at that time and restarts the system.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a block diagram of essential parts showing an embodiment of the present invention. (2) is a command receiving means that receives a control signal generated by a command operation of the console device 20; Reference numeral 2 denotes a command determining means, which analyzes the received signal. 3 is a clock detection means for detecting a specified time; 4 is a system control means; the clock detection means detects the time input by the console device 1 based on the command judged by the command judgment means 2; 3
The processing program, data, etc. stored in the storage medium 19 in advance are read out and written into the storage memory 5 at that time.

FIG. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram of the above embodiment, in which 11 is an extension telephone, 12 is a subscriber circuit for detecting off-hook/on-hook of the extension telephone 11, 13 is a connection network, and 14 is in charge of controlling the extension telephone 11. 15 is an extension control means composed of a microcomputer or the like; 21 is a console control means composed of a microcomputer or the like that controls the console 16;
22 is a central office line; 22 is a central office line trunk; and 23 is a central office line control means comprising a microconbeater and the like for controlling the central office line 21. Reference numeral 18 denotes reception judgment means, which is constituted by a microcontroller or the like, which receives and judges commands from the console device 20, and when a command is input from the console device 20 to the input section 18a, it receives the signal. The command receiving means 1 receives the command, and the command determining means 2 receives the command.
It is configured to make a determination and set it in the output section 18b. The command set in the output section I8b is transmitted to the storage section 17, such as a microcomputer, which controls the entire system. Note that 17a is an input section of the storage section 17, 17b is an output section, and 24 is a clock circuit having time detection means.

FIG. 3 shows the storage unit 17 of this embodiment. 3 is a flowchart of a main part of the operation of the reception determining means 18;

The operation of this embodiment will be explained below.

Now, use the storage medium 19 in which the modified data has been stored as Seriton, and in that state use the console device 1 to issue a command to ``read the above data from the storage medium 19 into the storage memory 5 at a specified time (for example, AMI:00).'' Suppose you input

The command information is input to the input section 18a of the reception determining means 18, and is received by the command receiving means 18b. Then, the above command is determined by the command determining means 18c,
The user knows that ``this is a command to read the above data from the storage medium 19 into the storage memory 5 at a specified time''.

The determined command information is set to the output section 18d of the reception determining means 18, and is immediately sent to the system control means 4.
The data is transmitted to the input section 17a of the storage section 17 having the following. Therefore, the system control means 4 receives the above command information from the input section 17a and transmits it to the clock circuit 21.

The clock circuit 21 outputs the time every minute, and based on this, the time detection means 3 detects whether the designated time inputted from the console device 1 has arrived.

Then, at the designated time, this is transmitted to the system control means 4, and the system control means 4 is controlled to read the data stored in the storage medium 19 into the storage memory 5. Therefore, reading and writing of data is completed at this point, and thereafter the extension control means 14 resumes operation based on the new and corrected data stored in the storage memory 5.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above-mentioned embodiments, when a request to change the service setting contents or the processing program of the entire system occurs in an exchange operating by referring to the storage memory, the present invention first performs the following steps. If you insert a storage medium containing the corrected data and corrected program according to this request, and then execute the command "Read from the storage medium to the storage memory at the specified time" on the console device, you can The system is configured to automatically read the correction data and correction program stored in the storage medium into the storage memory and restart the entire operation based on this data and this program when the specified time comes. Therefore, there is no need to stay up all night changing the setting data and processing program, which is extremely advantageous in practice.
