Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement in a message control system for alarms, etc. suitable for controlling the output of dam discharge alarms.

[Technical background of the invention]

FIG. 2 shows a conventional alarm message control system.

an alarm monitoring device 2 that creates and sends a report message;
An alarm device 4 that issues an alarm based on the sent alarm message is connected via a transmission line 3.

The alarm monitoring device 2 includes a control section 11, a monitor speaker 12, an audio amplifier 13, and a modem 14. Alarm monitoring device f! A tape recorder 1 is connected to 12. On the other hand, inside the alarm device 4, a modem 15, a control section 16
It is included. A speaker 6 is connected to the alarm device 4 via an audio amplifier 5, and a siren control panel 7
A siren 8 is connected via the.

After a tape recording a desired alarm message is set in the tape recorder 1, when the operator activates the alarm monitoring device 2, the control section 11 connects the control section via the modem 14, transmission line 3, and modem 15. A start signal is given to 16. Thereby, each part on the alarm device 4 side becomes operable. Next one
Under the control of the control unit 11, the tape recorder 1 starts operating and audio reproduction begins. The reproduced audio often passes through an amplifier 13, is modulated by a modem 14, and is sent out.

The modem 15 which receives the voice from the transmission line 3 demodulates it and sends it to the control section 16. Since the control unit 16 sends the sound to the speaker 6 via the audio amplifier 5, the speaker 6 emits the sound of the alarm message.

At this time, on the alarm monitoring device 2 side, one operator can monitor the sound that is amplified via the audio amplifier 13 and also emitted from the speaker 12.

When the reproduction of the alarm message is finished, the operator controls the alarm monitoring device 2 to stop. Then, the control section 11 stops the tape recorder 1 and sends a control signal to the control section 16 to control the stoppage of the alarm device 4 side.

Note that the control section 16 controls the siren control panel 7 based on the control signal sent from the control section 11 before or after the alarm message is transmitted, and makes the siren 8 sound.

[Interlayer point of background technology]

However, according to such a conventional alarm message control system, it is necessary to perform the following operations in order to obtain a desired alarm message. Either prepare the necessary types of tapes with different alarm message contents and selectively play them on one tape recorder, or prepare a corresponding number of tape recorders with tapes of different types set.
Either a tape recorder is selected and played back, or the necessary types of alarm messages are recorded on one tape, and a single tape recorder is used to search for and play back the necessary alarm messages.

For this reason, if the same alarm message is sufficient, such as a dam discharge warning, and the response can be handled by simply changing the discharge time, discharge amount, etc., the first method described above requires a huge number of tapes. This not only wastes tapes, but also requires a lot of effort to find the necessary tapes.The second method requires a huge number of tapes and tape recorders, resulting in a wasteful system. In method 3, a single thread is used.
The disadvantage is that the operation of selecting the necessary alarm message from the group becomes extremely cumbersome.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made in order to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional alarm message control system as described above, and its purpose is to ensure that messages are not wasted and their contents can be easily changed, and It is an object of the present invention to provide a message control system with excellent operability and whose contents can be monitored when necessary.

[Summary of the invention]

Therefore, in the present invention, a speech synthesis device is used to create a message, and data regarding message editing processing is supplied from the control means to the speech synthesis device to create a desired message, and a display is performed based on this message. The above object is achieved by configuring a system in which the above steps are performed on the center side, and the message thus created is sent to the terminal section to issue the message.

[Embodiments of the invention]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. In the same figure, 10
0 indicates the center part, which is installed in a dam management room or the like. 2
00 indicates a terminal part, which is installed at a required location in the river basin of the dam, and although there are generally a plurality of terminals, one is represented here. In FIG. 1, the same components as in FIG. 2 are given the same reference numerals as in FIG. 2, and their explanations will be omitted.

The center section 100 includes a speech synthesizer 9 and an alarm monitoring device 1.
0, a display 18, and an operation section 19. Operation unit 19
is provided with a sentence selection key for selecting an alarm message (sentence), a word selection key for selecting a word in the sentence, a numeric keypad, a start/stop key, a pre-monitor key, etc. for example,
When you operate one of the sentence selection keys, "From OO hour OO minute,"
The sentence ``Please evacuate as we will release water'' is selected, and when one of the sentence selection keys is operated, the message ``00'' is selected.
One sentence from multiple sentences can be selected, such as the sentence ``The release date has been changed to the 00th.'' In addition, by operating the word selection key, ○O in the above sentence can be selected as ``10:30'' or ``today''. Of course, you can also specify numbers using the numeric keypad. Data of such key operations is given to the control section 17.

The control section 17 controls each section based on data given from the operation section 19. The speech synthesizer 9 can create the above-mentioned clear warning message in voice and character code in response to a control signal given from the control section 17.

The voice synthesizer 9 sends the created alarm message voice to the voice amplifier 13A, and displays the character code on the display 18.
In addition to sending out an end signal to the control unit 17 when the sending out of the sound of the alarm message is completed. The control unit 17 starts and stops the display 18, starts and stops the audio amplifier 13A, and controls the modem 14. Further, the control unit 17 sends out, via the modem 14, a control signal for starting and stopping the alarm device W4 and a control signal for controlling the generation of the siren 8's sound.

The operation of the system configured as above will be explained. When activation data is input using the activation key from the operation unit 19, the control unit 1F activates the voice synthesizer 9, the display 18, the modem 14, and the audio amplifier 13A1, and activates the alarm device 4 via the modem 14. Sends control signals for The control unit 16, which has received the control signal via the transmission line 3 and the modem 15, activates the audio intensifier 5 and waits.

Next, when the sentence selection key and word selection key of the operation unit 19 are operated and data for selecting a desired sentence and the words in the sentence are input, the control unit 17 sends a control signal to the speech synthesis device 9. is sent to create the desired sentence (a sentence into which the desired word is inserted). Further, the control unit 17 sends out a control signal to generate the sound of the siren 8 via the modem 14. As a result, under the control of the control section 16, the siren control a7
The siren 8 is activated and a sound is generated.

On the other hand, the voice synthesizer 9 creates a corresponding alarm message using voice and character data, sends the voice to the voice amplifier 13A, and sends the character data to the display 18. The audio passes through the audio amplifier 13A and is sent to the modem 14.
While the signal is modulated and transmitted, it is amplified by the audio amplifier 13A and emitted from the speaker 12. This allows the operator of the center section 100 to monitor the alarm message.

The voice arriving at the modem 15 is demodulated and sent to the control section 16. Will the sound of siren 8 be stopped at this point?
The pressure is controlled so that it has already stopped. Therefore, when the control unit 16 sends the sound to the audio amplifier 5, the sound is amplified and generated from the speaker 6.

Furthermore, since the display 18 that has received the character data displays characters based on the character data, the operator of the center section 100 can visually monitor the alarm message. In this case, if the display 18 is large enough to display the entire warning message at once, it is possible to determine whether the content is correct or not by visual monitoring and take appropriate measures before audible monitoring.

When the output of the voice ends, the voice synthesizer [9 sends an end signal to the control unit 17. Accordingly, the control section 17 controls the display 18, the audio amplifier 13A, and the speech synthesizer 9 to stop, and also sends out one control signal via the modem 14 to control the stoppage of the alarm device M4. Upon receiving this, the control unit 16 controls the audio amplifier 5 to stop. In this way, when the message ends, the siren control panel 7 is controlled by the control signal from the alarm monitoring device to cause the siren 8 to emit a sound.

Also, before sending the alarm message to the terminal unit 200,
When monitoring, when the advance monitor key of the operation unit 19 is operated, the control unit 17 activates at least one of the display 18 and the audio amplification Wi 3A, and the voice synthesis device 9, and also outputs the audio to the control unit 16. A pressure control signal is sent so as not to start the amplifier 5. Next, operation section 1
Based on the sentence selection/word selection data input from 9,
The sound of the warning message is sent to the audio amplifier 13A, and the character data is sent to the display 18, respectively. As a result, the operator can monitor the content of the alarm message using at least one of the display 18 and the speaker 12.

Therefore, an accurate warning message can be sent to the terminal unit 200. In particular, visually monitor the display unit 1.
8, which increases speed and accuracy.

Note that the display 18 may be a printing device. Further, the transmitter 3 may be a wireless line. In this case, a wireless device is used. Further, in this embodiment, the character data is created by a voice synthesis device, but it may be created by an alarm monitoring device.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, it is sufficient to prepare as many four-message sentences as possible in consideration of word selection, and there is no waste in memorizing messages. Furthermore, selecting a message is easy, just by inputting the necessary data, and since the message can be monitored when necessary, the accuracy of the message can be increased, and the operation is extremely easy.
