Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Duke of the Ox King! The present invention relates to a guidance display device, and more particularly, to a business guidance display device that can remotely switch the business guidance display using a telephone and can switch voice responses to messages corresponding to the display screen at the display position.

Traditionally, the method of displaying the business status has been to artificially hang and display a hanging sign such as ``Open for Business'' or ``Closed Today,'' but devices to replace this have never appeared. Not yet. When using hanging tags to display business hours, it is common to hang a tag that says ``Working Today'' or ``Preparing'' at the time of work, and then hang a tag that says ``Open'' when business starts the next day.At unmanned stores at night, business signs are suddenly displayed. It is not possible to switch to "Closed today" etc.
There were inconveniences in customer service, such as the store being closed and showing "under preparation".

Conventionally, there are schedule display devices that use a rotating disk to display things such as "in the room,""goingout," and "returning home." There is no advantage to using it for displaying contents.

In addition, there are illuminated signboards displaying business information, but these will continue to display business information even if the internal lighting is turned off.

Some public notice display devices cycle through a series of displays, but these continue to cycle.A9: What is the means for remotely specifying and displaying a desired display? What? ) I don't get it.

On the other hand, as a control system using a telephone line, there is also a disaster prevention reporting system that is linked to sensors for air conditioners, lighting, electric rice cookers, etc. These systems selectively turn on and off the air conditioner, electric lock, ventilation volume, etc. by inputting a signal from the other party's phone, and are limited to equipment that can be turned on and off electrically. . Additionally, a system that is activated by on/off detection signals from fire detectors, gas detectors, security switches, etc. and sends them to designated alarm indicators can also be used as a means of specifying and switching the above-mentioned business displays. do not have.

As described above, there has never been a device that calls up a business guidance display using a remote telephone and issues a command from the telephone to switch the business status display to a desired display. Furthermore, no device has yet appeared that automatically switches the answering machine response content of a telephone in conjunction with the switching of the business status display.

This is because, unlike the Hikikon I-Roll system, there was no business status indicator that could identify the individual display contents of a plurality of business guidance displays and generate signals.

In addition, devices that use telephone lines include answering machine recording devices, telephones with message displays, and videophones, but these are additional functions of telephones and do not allow for remote switching of business status displays. do not have.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and allows for remote switching of the business guidance display using a telephone.

The signal is output and input to the display/response control section 74 via the signal lines 46 and 47 in the wiring 12, so the control section 74 inputs the data to the CPU 7'O,
The display/response control unit 74 displays the command (data) to stop motor rotation according to the command code read from the program memory by U70 and data specifying "voice response during business hours".
Therefore, the output of the drive voltage to the motor wiring 48 in the wiring 12 is stopped, and the display/response control unit 74 selects and specifies the "audio response during business hours". It is configured to output data and input it to the audio control section 81 via the signal line 103. Further, during this operation, an operation confirmation lamp (not shown) blinks to confirm that the operation is in progress.

Even if the voltage supply to the motor wiring 48 is cut off, the drive motor 26 continues to rotate while the keep switch 32 is on, and the trough 41V of the keep cam of the cam gear 41 faces the keep switch 32 and presses the switch 32. The drive motor 26 is configured to stop rotating when turned off. Then, the display inside the opening window 6 becomes "open for business," and the display is configured to continue to be displayed until the next command is received. Therefore, the display designation switches 56 to 5
9 to switch to a desired display in the same manner as above.

When a ringing signal is sent to telephone office lines 89 and 90, telephone 93
A sound source, etc. not shown in the figure starts ringing, and the ringing signal detection unit 88 counts the number of times the ringing signal is emitted, and calculates the predetermined number of rings (
For example, if the handset 93A of the telephone 93 is not off-hook within 6 times, etc., the detection section 88 outputs a signal and inputs it to the input/output control section 73, so that the data is transferred to the CP.
At this time, the CPU 70 outputs a command to communicably connect the telephone office line 94.95 and the telephone line connection circuit 87 according to the command in the program memory, and connects the telephone line connection circuit via the input/output control unit 73. 87 and the circuit 87 is connected for communication, and the CPU 70
outputs a voice response command and inputs it to the voice control unit 81 via the display/response control circuit 74, so the control unit 81 reads the voice data from the voice ROM 82 as described above, and performs the voice decoding 83 and , the audio signal is sent to the telephone office lines 94 and 95 via the audio output circuit 84, telephone line connection circuit 87, etc.
It is configured so that it can be sent to the other party and the voice can be transmitted to the other party.

The structure is such that if the handset 93A is taken off-hook while the sound source of the telephone 93 rings six times, a normal telephone conversation can be carried out. Also, during the voice response described above, the handset 93A
When the telephone goes off-hook, the telephone line connection circuit 87 detects the off-hook and stops outputting the automatic voice response signal, so that only the telephone 93 functions and a normal telephone conversation is possible. It is. Thereafter, when the other party of the call goes on-hook or both parties go on-hook, the telephone line connection circuit 87 detects this and outputs a signal, which is sent to the ringing signal detection unit 88 via the input/output control unit 73.
The input/output control unit 73 inputs on-hook detection data to the CPU 70, so the CPU 70 outputs a reset signal according to an instruction code based on the data. However, since it is input to the voice control section 81 via the display/response control section 74, the configuration is such that the next voice response is reset and returned to the initial state so that it is read from the beginning.

Even if the handset 93A is off-hook for telephone communication and the button is operated, the telephone line connection circuit 87 only detects the off-hook and the control unit 49 is configured not to operate. It works and you can call the other party and talk to them. Furthermore, the control unit 49 is configured so that it does not operate even if both parties press the button during this call.

When switching the display using the external telephone 109 (shown in FIG. 7), it is necessary to input a "PIN number". 9th
The figure is a flowchart showing an example of the operation when switching the display using an external telephone 109 (for example, a public telephone). It is omitted. The part drawn out by the broken line in the figure shows the operation response to an off-footer on the receiving side or on-hook midway on the oscillating side, and the receiving side is the telephone 93.

In the figure, when the power switch 54 of the control unit 49 is in the on state (regular use state), if you operate any external telephone (butsuhon) 109 to call the telephone 93, the sound source of the telephone 93 starts ringing, and the call sign If the telephone 93 does not go on-hook within six times, the ringing signal detection unit 88 outputs a signal and inputs it to the input/output control unit 73, and the telephone line connection circuit 87 connects the telephone to the central office line 94 as described above.
At the same time, the CPU70
outputs voice response command data and inputs it to the display/response control section 74 via the data bus 75, so that the control section 74
selects the voice response content based on the command data and display detection data, outputs the data, and inputs the data to the voice control section 81.

Then, the audio storage contents based on the data are stored in the audio ROM 8.
2, the audio control unit 81 outputs the signal, sends it to the telephone office lines 94 and 95 via the audio decoding unit 83, the audio output circuit 84, the telephone line connection circuit 87, etc., and outputs the signal to the external telephone 109.
A response message (for internal voice response shown in Table 2) is transmitted to the caller. At this time, when the stamp button 109A of the external telephone 109 is turned on and off, the signal is input to the control section 49, and the voice response section 61 outputs a voice signal saying "Please enter your password", and the external telephone 10
9 and is configured to transmit audio. Then, by operating the external telephone 109, the numbers of the PIN number (for example, rlJ r2J r3J
r#", etc.), the PIN code numerical signal (DTM, F signal, etc.) generated by the telephone 109 is transmitted to the central office line 11.
0, the exchange 111 in the telephone office, etc., and the telephone office lines 94 and 95.
and the input/output control section 73 via the telephone line connection circuit 87.
The control unit 73 divides the DTMF signal into a high group frequency and a low group frequency, performs calculations, identifies the numerical value determined by the combination of frequencies, converts the code, and converts it into a numerical data signal suitable for the CPU 70. Correct and output, data bus 75
Since the input is to the CPU 70 via the RO
Specify the address of M71, read and decode the command code, read the numerical data of the PIN written in RAM 72 according to the command, compare it with the numerical data of the PIN input from the outside line, and if it matches, the CPU
70 outputs a command (data) to accept the input of a display switching signal and inputs it to the input/output control section 73 and the display/response control section 74, so the control section 74 outputs voice response data to the voice response section 61. , and the response unit 61 outputs an audio signal "Please input the display number" and transmits the audio signal to the other party's first caller. Then, when a desired display designation number, etc. (for example, "IJrHJ, etc.") is turned on or off by a button operation on the external telephone 109, the numerical signal is converted into a numerical data signal and input to the CPU 70 in the same way as when inputting the password. However, the operation of switching the display according to the commands in the program memory is as described in the operation description of the display designation switches 56 to 59 above. I'm here.

” and an operation confirmation sound signal such as “Pico Pico”, and after the display switching is completed, the voice response unit 61 outputs an audio signal saying “The display has been switched to the specified one”, and each It is configured so that an audio signal is input to the external telephone 1M109 and transmitted, and after a response to the display switching, the telephone line connection circuit 87 cuts off the connection with the telephone office line 89, 90 and returns to the initial state. It is configured as follows. Then, the configuration is such that an audio response is made based on the changed display content.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it is possible to reliably achieve the object described in the introduction.

The guide display device 1 can also be formed in a vertical type as opposed to the horizontal type shown in the figure.

The voice response section or the voice pattern storage circuit or the like may also be provided within the switching system within the telephone office.

The control section 49 shown in FIG. 7 may be configured within the telephone instead of being separate from the telephone.

In FIG. 10, the display position is detected by a cam ring 112 of 1(l?iI) and four position detection switches 113, 114, 115 and 116 instead of the outer ring cam 37 and inner ring cam 38 of the above embodiment. The cam ring 112 shown in the figure is provided with a cam crest 112M having a circumference of 1/4 or less of the total circumference, and a cam valley 112■ occupying the remaining circumference. There is a cam mountain part 112M
The display contents of the display boards 8 to 11 are detected by configuring so that only one position detection switch facing each other is turned on, and the same detection purpose as in the above embodiment can be achieved. .

FIG. 11 shows an embodiment partially different from the above embodiment, and shows a cross section at the same location as FIG. 3.

In the figure, the transparent window 3A, the display surface frame 5A, and the opening window 6A are symmetrically provided on the back side of the transparent window 3 and the like. The wall opening 18A of the tube axis I8 is also open on both sides, and the reflecting plate 19 is also configured to reflect light on both sides. When the display board 8 appears in the opening window 6, the display board 10 appears in the opening window 6A on the back side, and when the display board 9 appears in the opening window 6, the display board 11 appears in the opening window 6A on the back side. It is configured to repeatedly rotate 90 degrees in forward and reverse directions so that it appears. Therefore, as in this embodiment, the outer cases 2 and 2A can be divided in the middle and combined to form a double-sided display.

Note that the position detection switches etc. explained in the examples are conventional microswitches, but the design has been changed and
It is optional to replace it with a magnetic detection switch, a photodetection switch, etc. Further, design changes such as display shape, drive mechanism, circuit configuration, voice response content, etc. may be freely made without departing from the scope of the claims.

As a result, the present invention makes it possible to easily change the contents of the display according to signals from an external telephone, and furthermore allows the external telephone to memorize the contents of the message corresponding to the displayed contents by voice. It has become possible to provide a guide display that can be responded to.
