Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain ease of time management without using a special circuit to a time management device itself by providing an interface function and an automatic transmitting function to the time managing device. CONSTITUTION:An interface section 1 receives a start request from a time managing device 5 and transmits time data to the time management device 5. After a transmission start section 2 receives the start request via the interface section 1, the section 2 attains automatic transmission via a telephone set circuit 6. Time voice data from an external device is received by a voice reception section 3 and this time voice data is converted by a data converting section 4 and transmitted to the time management device 5 via the interface section 1.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a telephone that can be connected to a device that performs time management (hereinafter referred to as a time management device).

[Prior art]

Conventionally, when using this type of telephone and performing time management with the above-mentioned time management device, time information is manually inputted into the above-mentioned time management device based on the time information of the telephone number "11?@", etc. Alternatively, time management has been performed by providing the time management device itself with automatic time correction means.

Therefore, each time the time is corrected, it takes time and effort, or the time management device itself has to be provided with a special circuit as the time correction means.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and provide a time correction telephone that can easily manage time without providing a special circuit in the time management device itself.

[Structure of the invention]

The present invention is a telephone connected to a time management device, comprising:
Its features include: an interface means with the time management device; an automatic calling means which performs an automatic calling operation upon receiving a startup request from the time management device via the interface means and connects a line to an external device; audio receiving means for receiving time audio from the device; and time for receiving time audio data from the audio receiving means and converting the time audio data into data to be sent to the time management device via the interface means. By providing data conversion means, time information can be easily supplied in response to a startup request from the time management device.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a case where an embodiment of the present invention (the part surrounded by the two-dot chain line) is connected to a well-known time management device 5. As shown in FIG.

As shown in the figure, in addition to the well-known telephone circuit 6, this embodiment receives the activation request from the time management device 5 and sends time data to the time management device 5. An interface unit 1, a call activation unit 2 that performs an automatic call operation via a telephone circuit 6 after receiving the activation request through the interface unit 1, and an external device (“1”).
Audio receiving unit 8 that receives time audio data from 17@)
and data (data 2) for receiving the time audio data (data 1) obtained by the audio receiving section 8 and sending the data 1 to the time management device 5 via the interface section 1.
It has a data conversion part number to be converted into.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

A request to start time correction from the time management device 5 (normally 2 requests per day)
-8 times), the interface section 1 sets the number of cycles n (semi-fixed) to the voice receiving section 8 and starts the transmission starting section 2. Here, in response to one activation request from the time management device 5, time information is sent several times in order to increase the reliability of the time information, and the number of times is called the number of cycles.

When the calling starting unit 2 receives a starting command from the interface unit 1, it starts up the voice receiving unit 8, and then performs a calling operation and connects the line to the external “1171” via the telephone circuit 6. If,”=<ausy TO
NK), the call is made again.

When the voice receiving section 8 recognizes the time voice data from "11?", it sends the received data (data l) to the data converting section 4, and then starts the periodic timer (of the above cycle time).
(for example, about 80 seconds) and the number of cycles n is subtracted (n-1), and then the line is disconnected.

When the data converting section 4 recognizes the data 1 from the audio receiving section 8, it converts this data 1 in a form suitable for each interface, and sends the converted data (data 2) to the interface section 1.

When the interface unit 1 recognizes the data 2 after data conversion, the interface unit 1 stores the data 2 as time data in a time management bag.
Send to i5. The time management device 5 performs time correction based on this time data.

Note that the audio receiving unit 8 monitors the periodic timer set above, and when it detects a timeout, it restarts the transmission activation unit 2 and repeats the process from the transmission operation described above until the number of cycles n reaches zero. Repeat until done. When the number of cycles n reaches zero, all processes for time correction are completed, and thereafter a start request from the time management device 5 is awaited.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the telephone according to the present invention is equipped with an interface function with a time management device, automatic dialing means, etc., so that time management can be easily performed without using a special circuit in the time management device itself. It has the effect of being able to.
